So in 2005 i reverse scammed a online scammer. They tried to steal money from my grandmother but luckily didn't get it. I spent the next few weeks utterly destroying the scammer, I have full logs and pictures to show it.

First I convinced him I was a crime lord that lived in the USA and wanted to take him under my wing and teach him how to "really" scam people. This involved a few days of trust building.

Next I got him to take a picture and hold up a sign that said "Mia Azzburn" to prove he trusted me, he did it, lol

Next I convinced him I would try to get him into the mafia but if he wanted me to do that first he would have to do something to win over our god father.. .who happened to have a soft spot for santa clause. So I convinced him to dress up as santa clause and take pictures of it and send it to me so I could give it to our godfather as a "gift" so the god father would accept him into the mafia. He got it wrong but I got him to redo it like 3 or 4 times continually sending new pictures.

It was hilarious and priceless but in the end despite all the hurt he did to others I still kinda felt bad for him, especially after scamming him. So I told him he was just scammed and encouraged him not to do it again. At that point we became friends, I told him my real name, and for years after that I would help him learn programming so he could make a real honest career for himself.

Just looked him up online and he even wound up going to university, got a degree, and lives a seemingly honest life now. I'm happy for him. But man I still LOL at this.

@freemo lmfao! These pictures are gold. πŸ˜‚ Glad he "seemingly" made something of himself.

@freemo The story is a good one! I only don't agree with sharing his face here, unless he agreed sharing them. He clearly learned his lesson and became a better human being.

@jotbe
He gave me permission to share the pics ages ago. But i try not to share his name

@freemo
This story should be in a children's book.πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ
