Glenn70 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Just send this back the bastard: 'You are a scamming c**t. Your details and IP address have been reporting to the Australian Federal Police and will be investigated. People like you are worthless scumbag pieces of crap' We know not much can be done legally but at least if this scares a few of these scammers and makes them think twice about doing it again, well that's better than nothing.

Gemini2544 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I told a scammer once that I was a psychic and I was expecting his phone call (Microsoft scam) and told him he was going to die in a accident within the month, Sadly for him a slow painful death. He hung up on me.......How rude. Never called back either. :lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
