  • If what they do works, they don’t have to be all that sophisticated. Just search through the subreddit and you’ll find many people falling for all sorts of otherwise obvious scams.

  • i've been experiencing a lot of "low intelligence" scammers, like you get to the part where they guide you to do whatever and you're able to do whatever you want, afterwards every now and then they will just say "what about now?" or "have you done it yet?". other times i kind of stunlocked them by asking them a follow up question that could possibly not be included in a automated message.

    i think its just that few of them speak an ounce of english.

    It's very possible they're unable to actually speak English are going off a script. Or are just flat out a bot. I've had at least a few who would send a link, I'd ask about it. They'd ignore it and send another link. And nothing seemed to actually get heard.

  • "Thats me haha"

  • Are you secretly saying that their victims are?  

    Because, kind of yes. 

  • its a bot that replies with a next message every time you say something

  • Most of the time they don’t even understand what you’re saying, just ignore them.
