| I always keep used iTunes gift cards around for some reason and I’ve used them before to mess with scammers. Before they were too big, I’d give the phone to my toddlers and let them tell them stories about their toys and poop...

| Keep sending them real pics of the front of the cards. Then after teh frustration level builds, send pics of the back but without the auth number security stuff scrapped of (ie, so they cannot see the auth number). Start getting frustrated with them.

It's fun on slow days. I took a call once a year ago, guy said I had won $500,000.00, yep $500K! And all i had to do was send $15 walmart gift card for shipping. So I thanked the guy and told him, rather than me sending the gift card, I would give him $40,000.00 as a tip, and he would pay the shipping. Blew the guys mind, he kept going back to the gift card, and I kept telling him he was now $40K richer! |

| Send picture of amazon cards, but slightly out of focus, then if you are good at photoshop, slightly blur several of the characters so you can't tell if it's 0 or an O or G or 6, etc . That way they will have enter the number trying all different combinations.

I Am The Walrus
| Got some scammer like this to my school e-mail account. They wanted an address to send the checks to so I told them 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Washington, DC 20500... Never heard back from them. If I get a chance next time I'm going to tell them 1060 W. Addison. Chicago, IL 60613.

| Funny.
In the end, as much as I've WANTED to mess with the scammers, I figured if they have my contact email they could overwhelm it with spam, send increasingly vicious viruses, etc. As payback. So I usually send them a single "eff off email" and block the email address. |

posting without pants
| I'd start taking pictures of Starbucks gift cards, McDonalds, Wendy's... GO to the local walmart or grocery store, they have a rack of fast food, movie theatre gift cards and the like. WHen they ask tell them they didn't have Amazon, so you got them Starbucks instead and send them those pics... THen repeat it when they get mad and ask again.

Their reply was "Please send them in a pair of two each."
So I responded "I’m confused a pair of two each would be 4, but I have 9 cards so there will be one left over. Should I get 3 more so that I can send 3 pairs of 2 each?"
When you get done with playing them you might want to unplug your equipment for at least two hours. If the scammers have your ISP number they may be able to get into your computer and do you harm. Unplug computer, modem, printer,etc., all of it. When you turn it back on your ISP number changes. My computer guy told me this is a good way to help keep out hackers or viruses. |

Step by step walk the thousand mile road
| The video of President Trump's inauguration. Explain you got a great deal on the cards because the code is embedded in the video. You watch the video and write down the card numbers as they appear. The next one should be Felonia Von Pantsut's testimony about Benghazi. The third James Comey's exoneration of Felonia Von Pantsuit. Then start linking random videos, stuff like Time Cube.
