What to say to scare a scammer?


What to say to scare a scammer? One of the most satisfying ways to shut down a text scammer is to scam them right back—with a pretend automated message. As a bonus, you can also say that they'll be “billed” or “charged” for your services to really mess with their heads.


How do you outsmart a scammer?

Don't give out personal information such as passwords, credit card numbers, bank account numbers, dates of birth, or Social Security numbers. Don't respond to suspected phishing emails, text messages or phone calls, even if you think it would be fun to tease or trick them. It's best to avoid responding in any way.
