I guess that explains why the scammer I've been scam-baiting suddenly went quiet.

Moving onto scams that have a higher chance of working.

The hero we need but not the one we deserve. Tying up their line can help prevent them from calling someone else.

To be clear, it's been texting only. I'm nowhere near Jim Browning or Kitoboga (sp?) levels.

But so far I've wasted three scammers time by asking them what "telegram" is.

I'm just happy people like you those various YouTubers exist. It may feel like a drop in the ocean, but you probably helped someone not get scammed that day.
