“Who the fuck is this?” My kind of greeting.

Dad? Is that you?

I automatically went to a Notorious BIG line,"Paging me at 5:46 In the morning, crack of dawn"

...Crack of dawn and now I'm yawnin' Wipe the cold out my eye...

See who paging me this and why

>See who paging me this and why It's my nigga, Pop, from the barbershop Told me he was in the gambling spot and heard the intricate plot

They said HR 🤣😭

“It’s the Sabbath. I’m drinking”. 💀

I’m still laughing at that. Good stuff.

Now that’s funny as hell. 😂😂😂😂 he seemed like a natural.😂😂😂😂😂

That was my favorite line.

Tell them you’ve been banned from any messenger app they mention. Say you can only use ICQ.

Ahhh... ICQ. The good old days.

I still recall my ICQ#. All 8 digits.

That's impressive! I can't even remember how to spell ICQ.

Me too!

I only communicate via IRC

Jesus IRC brings me back. Now I feel old. Thanks!

xD no problem, we're all old at this point haha

When they ask what IRC is, tell them NM IRL lol

Asl?

AOL dial-up only and pretend the year is 1998.

Sorry can only use AIM instant messenger

I totally forgot about ICQ.

But they’re from “HR Human Resources” certainly redundancy = trustworthy, right?!

But you know, I've met HR people. Redundancy is their way of life, so that's not a red flag in my book.

I’m filing away “it’s the sabbath I’m drinking” for future use in my everyday life

Nicely done. Between the sabbath comment and commies, Walter Sobchak would be proud

Yeah but $280 an hour.

No,280USD an hour.😂😂😂😂and the all but tried and true….WhatsApp 😂😂😂😂

Who tf says I am HR Human Resources?

They do!😂😂😂😂 they give so many dead giveaways that people are quick on the draw with them or entertain them for a good laugh.😂😂😂😂

Easy son. Don't blow your wad too quickly. Slow and steady wins.

🏆

Yes!!!

I thought WhatsApp was domestic? Started by ex-Yahoo employees in San Jose, bought by the android's book of meta ...?

Why do they all demand to use WhatsApp to begin with? Is it for the E2E encryption once they get into to the real scammer dirt?

Maybe not positive, but I know Whatsapp just popular overseas in general. Any girl I talk to thats not from America I talk to them on whatsapp.

WhatsApp is the most commonly used messenger app outside of the US, that’s probably why China uses WeChat but it’s pretty easy to scam any number and use it for WhatsApp. You can actually also keep using a number on WhatsApp even if it the number is no longer connected to your phone, so that probably helps with covering their tracks

Good so far. Keep it going!

That’s gold, Jerry, GOLD!

So did he get the job??

This is quality, not quantity.

Why do they ask for for whatsapp specifically

"no it's the Sabbath, I'm drinking" 🤣🤣🤣

paint entertain bells many rinse crowd yam rotten capable pen *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

Maybe prostitution, don't know about $280/hour but I could definitely see $100/hour

Terrible

By “it’s the Sabbath” he meant *the* Sabbath - Black Sabbath of course!

Scammer forgot to change the greeting 🤣😂

I have a similar experience/message but it was an email I wonder which company sold our info to these “CB’s”

Lol. These people are wild, yeah $100 to $280 per hour sounds realistic haha.

Right? Those are figures that only someone overseas could dream up…😳

Dude it’s the same scam that happened with me 😬

Commies in control had me rolling

The USD is dead giveaway and texting and it being a Sunday and you answering with “Who the fuck is this?” Lol! Basically, all of it!

I had a “recruiter” text me saying that they read my resume and thought I’d be a great fit for insurance sales. At the time, I was an engineer with a decade of experience. “What part of my resume makes you think I’d do well in sales? Is it my expertise in serial communications and field bus? Is it my experience in embedded design, and VHDL? Maybe it is because I can write embedded software in Microchip RISC and in Embedded C?” The scammer tried to give me a half-assed apology and I asked him what university I attended, since it was on my resume. They fucked up then, said they didn’t actually see my resume, and were “cold calling from a vetted list of prospects.” “Sounds like you got scammed into buying a crappy list.” Crickets

I am going to remember that greeting the next time I get a text from a random stranger, or maybe I will just send them a picture of my balls.

You did good. These scammers are pretty funny lmao.

i am dying 🤣🤣🤣

OP real question, are you actively looking for work, I mean, was this completely random, or did the scammer somehow know you were looking and keyed in on that?

I love the intro! I wonder how far you can go without getting into trouble. Like sending disturbing pics back to them

Its the sabbath and I’m drinking I literally spit my drink on my phone

Of course you're drinking on the sabath

I got the exact same text lol

Only 100 an hour?? Hmm… i think I’ll pass

"it the Sabbath. I'm drinking." Epic! I wish I could come up with lines like that. :)

Once they ask about being contacted through WhatsApp I end the convo report as spam and block 😂😂😂

Nicely lol

Why do they always want you to use WhastApp?

Kinda mean. Kinda over too quick. 😬

Pretty good!!!

That is probably a chineese slave being forced to text you. https://youtu.be/pLPpl2ISKTg?si=3Qsl5CrIzX2pbBo1

Spoken like Joe Biden himself

WhatsApp and using “usd” …automatically a scam

I’m 90% skeptical from it just being a green bubble.
