These people are some of the people I’ve no sympathy in bitching at. They’re my favorite punching bags.
No, people, don’t feel sorry for these scammers. They CHOSE to do this. Instead of wanting to aim to better their lives or better their country, they chose to go out and do everything they can to scam people out of money.
So yes, I happily scream and mess with these pricks any chance I get. They have no remorse in what they do.
“Your mother would be so disappointed in you if she really understood what you were doing, wouldn’t she?
Ruining the lives of little old ladies, just like mama. She’s probably not well off either, right Mr scammer? I feel for you. Really I do. I’ve lived in poverty my whole life too, and it’s been a huge struggle just to get by. But me? I wouldn’t shame my family by scamming people just like us out of what little they have. My mamma raised me better than that. I’m sure yours did, too.”
I always get a reply meaning it definitely strikes a nerve, usually get some sort of bravado about how mama is proud because they bring home the money, and I just respond “if you tell yourself that enough maybe you’ll believe it someday, too!”.
But I don’t want to be totally heartless because a lot of them don’t have meaningful options, and I get that, and I’m not the ragey sort generally. Or at least I try not to be.

A lot of these scam operations are effectively staffed by slaves.

I just say the following every time:
