Great news everyone! I’ve just been offered a position to remotely train an AI and I can make up to $6000 a day!

Yeah, right.

I’m in the middle of a conversation with someone who randomly instant messaged me. I like to play dumb with these people and then occasionally throw some obscure questions at them and watch them squirm, or just toss subtle insults in my replies.

Anyone else get a kick out of messing with these scammers? Any particular shenanigans you like to throw at them, out any good stories that have come from it?

    Also, the burden of initiating conversation should be on the active caller side, not on the passice receiver

    As an active caller, unless there is a ton of background noise, I may or may not get any indication that the person I’m calling has actually picked up. So I’m just going to sit there until they say something or hang up.

      Ahh, fair enough, I always can tell when somebody picked up because the timely beeps stop (and also somehow I know that the silence from the background is different from the silence before it)
