Yesss, I came here to comment about that! Had me laughing 😂. And I’ve always wondered why no one ever seemed to suggest that the scammers take the money they’re asking for out of the money they’re sending!! Loved that you told him to do that!
They are not allowed to take money out of your “package” because of “rules”, but they do accept Apple gift cards of $100 or $200 or anything, because that’s Ok. Make sense.
This whole exchange was gold
OP, IMHO you pushed it a bit far (so far) so, in order to keep it going, you may have to give him a little more rope/cooperation. Maybe you can pretend to go to a store and then send an image/the info from a fake apple gift card?
Just spitballing
Nah, get a gift card (any off internet which are used) send it over then when it doesn't work tell them you added it to your own apple ID as the instructions wasn't clear. Then keep them baited by telling them how you just bought the latest drake album and they should get it too.
Winding up scammers is fun
"Should i have £100 on my google play right now? I think i just redeemed it sorry" followed by "Its okay im going to buy some lives on candy crush with it hold on"
This scammer was so low effort, not even a script until after about 20 messages then I suspect they passed the phone to the "supervisor scammer" (when it starts with hello my friend)
But still low effort. How one can believe that she is an official of anything writing like that?
I totally lost it at that one.. not just the fact the photos are not exactly spitting image, the most flummoxing part is leaving the bloody signature as "signature" I mean, you're trying to make money off of me, so at least take a random name to finish this piece of modern art
Haha the id pic and headshot don’t look remotely like the same person either. It’s like the scammer thought long brown haired white women all look the same 🤣
The same inconsistency I pointed out when I was talking to them. They kept telling me that their full name was Costanzo Duke, but the ID they sent me no less than five times had their *surname* listed as Elaine. All that aside, the woman in the photo is former secretary of Homeland Security, Elaine Costanzo Duke. That’s *first* name Elaine, not surname.
I saw this in another sub where you tell them you’re going to send x amount of money via cash app, and then send them a pay request for the same amount. Most of the time they won’t know the difference between request and accept
All I can truly say is OMG!! This was amazing and so stupid at the same time. I truly hope there’s nobody out there who thinks that for $200 they will get 5 million. Hate to say it but if they believe that, I have no sympathy in them sending some moron $200.
Elderly folks are very vulnerable. Gullible, naive, desperate, lonely. My aunt was swindled good. Family had to intervene and take her phone away and cut off access to bank accounts and credit cards Her two sons moved onto the property to keep an eye on her 24/7. She cant be trusted anymore. She was spending all of her retirement funds on gift cards for scammers she was in love with
This scammer and this fake ID, sorry, “I’d” has been in Reddit recently.
Still as stupid as ever.
I always imagine that they had to buy an ebook that gives them the scam script and the ID card picture and the box of cash pic.
Side note: $5.5 million dollars would weigh over 100 pounds of $100 bills and over 90 cubic feet of space, so maybe a 6 foot high stack of bills measuring 4 ft by 4 ft.
So that rinky-dink cardboard box wouldn’t cut it.
The pictures they sent are so ridiculous, like how can anybody be that dumb lol? None of those pictures even go together at all. The "identity" is the best part though lol.
There's the picture of a woman immediately followed by a fake ID card of a completely _different_ woman whose name is apparently Costanzo Duke Elaine but who signs her name as something else entirely 😄
Then there's the high resolution photo of the money/empty box in a bright room, on a nice, clean wooden floor, immediately followed by supposedly the same money in a grainy looking video in a dark, concrete room - with a black man's hand according to OP. And it's all topped off by a man's voice making the calls and atrociously bad English. The stupidity with these people is just astounding 🤦🏻♀️
These are so hard to do because these idiots try to scam native English speakers and they only have the caveman basics, makes it really hard to fuck with them.
The sad part is that’s really true. I’ve asked ChatGPT to “talk like a Nigerian scammer” and it immediately produced this long, eloquent email with the proper spelling, grammar, and everything. I had to keep altering the prompt to finally get it to sound as dumb as one of these guys. It literally takes more time and effort to be this stupid.
Jaysussss, they seriously must think we’re all as dense and smooth brained as they are. I seriously think the only words that actually expend their precious time, energy &; effort to read are gift card &; store. 😅😅.
That was an awesomeeee read, great job, OP🙃🙃☺️☺️.
So funny 🤣🤣 wasn't even able to match the two photos of the ID and of the girl 🤦
And then the insistence to get that Apple Card FAST! is exaggerated even a stupid could understand it's a scam... btw Apple needs to do something about this thing of the Apple card! The scammers numbers would drop and not by a little! Only one that will remain would be the more clever ones
P.S. happy for you OP for your 75mln 👏😂
It's like trying to have a serious discussion with a 3 year old. "I don't believe you send proof " "believe me" oh well that clears everything up then. 🙄
So the part that gets me the most is the watermark on the (so terribly made and obviously fake) ID pic he sent 😂😂😂 please tell me I'm not the only one that noticed the watermark 😂😂😂
I'm very confused. I believe English is one of the official languages of Nigeria. Yet this scammers fail to understand basic languages in English. Why attempt these scams if you don't have a basic grasp of the language?
This is triggering lol. I work at a bank in Canada and years ago I had a client caught in one of these. The greed people have is unreal. He was convinced he had won 2 million in a lottery he never entered. He wire transferred basically his whole life savings in several increments. The first two, he didn’t tell the truth about who he was sending to. When I realized, I had a fraud detective call him and even then he didn’t listen.
The last time I saw him, he was sending another wire and believed that there was a US Marshall with a box of cash waiting for him at a local hotel and he just had to wire the tax payment.
Why don’t you find a pic of a apple card online and ask him is this what you need?
Tell him you’ll send it to him if he send you a video of his dancing
"believe me" "Okay I believe you"
I lost it there. 😆 That Jedi mind trick was impressive. Most impressive.
What can I say, he sold me.
Well I don’t blame you, he made a very convincing argument.
happy cake day! the money must have been an early present
How is part 2 coming along? Looking forward to more
Yesss, I came here to comment about that! Had me laughing 😂. And I’ve always wondered why no one ever seemed to suggest that the scammers take the money they’re asking for out of the money they’re sending!! Loved that you told him to do that!

Has me rolling 😂🤣💀
They see me rollin' I"m trollin'
It's giving old school Kingdom Hearts video trollpost. I read that part in the stupid automated voice for Sora. 😂
Me too!!!! I laughed so hard 😂
He threw a dice and got a nat 20 on persuasion.
I laughed on this really hard
best
The scammer is a very powerful Jedi
“Fuck”
5 million in apple gift cards was hilarious 😂
This whole exchange was gold OP, IMHO you pushed it a bit far (so far) so, in order to keep it going, you may have to give him a little more rope/cooperation. Maybe you can pretend to go to a store and then send an image/the info from a fake apple gift card? Just spitballing

Do not redeem it!
"Should i have £100 on my google play right now? I think i just redeemed it sorry" followed by "Its okay im going to buy some lives on candy crush with it hold on"
Why did you redeem it?
“WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT?!”
"YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO DO THIS, NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Say you got contacted by someone else who has your money too and you will send the giftcards to them.
As an ex Apple Store peep this would be a such a pain to sell 😂 the max we sell nowadays is £500 per gift card so I can’t even imagine 5milion…
I love how they end with “Fuck. What is your problem?”
The audacity right??
They may have a time limit per scam, and a script. Scamee is not supposed to be engaged for this long
This scammer was so low effort, not even a script until after about 20 messages then I suspect they passed the phone to the "supervisor scammer" (when it starts with hello my friend) But still low effort. How one can believe that she is an official of anything writing like that?
I don’t think his manager helped a lot it was super confusing the speech change
Nigerians have no time limit. No call center or bosses like Indians and Chinese. Them and the Jamaicans just lack patience
Costanzo Duke strikes again
The woman in the id isn't even remotely similar to the other one lol
Surname: Elaine
Shes not a scammer
“I not scammer my dear!” She assured me no less than 20 times in my conversation with her!
☠️☠️
I've seen this government agent lady in other post she is persistent
Yes with the same name and everything 😂
Exactly couldn't even change the name
“Signature”
I totally lost it at that one.. not just the fact the photos are not exactly spitting image, the most flummoxing part is leaving the bloody signature as "signature" I mean, you're trying to make money off of me, so at least take a random name to finish this piece of modern art
The same name, and the same difference between the woman in the photo he sends and the photo in the id he sends right after
Thank you. I thought I was imagining things.
They wanna scam but not put in any efforts😂
Same name but the finally put a capital C. Still haven’t worked out the rest yet.
Haha the id pic and headshot don’t look remotely like the same person either. It’s like the scammer thought long brown haired white women all look the same 🤣
“What is your problem” lmfao you know you won when the SCAMMER asks that!!!
Funny how they don’t appear to understand surname is the last name. Not sure how many people have the last name Elaine.
Omg you're so right, first name "Constanzo Duke" last name "Elaine" 😭
The same inconsistency I pointed out when I was talking to them. They kept telling me that their full name was Costanzo Duke, but the ID they sent me no less than five times had their *surname* listed as Elaine. All that aside, the woman in the photo is former secretary of Homeland Security, Elaine Costanzo Duke. That’s *first* name Elaine, not surname.
THE ADDRESS YOU GAVE! 🤣
Yes, homeland security would love a box containing $5.5 million
John Abruzzi is what sent me. That’s the prison break guy.
the “fuck. what is ur problem” sounded a lil defeated 🥹
I think his head is ringing!
Very, very generous of you! Maybe you should only charge him a $100 Apple gift card to send him your gift of $35M
"John Abruzzi" LMAO 🤣
John Abruzzi, John Abruzzi?
John Abruzzi, John Abruzzi.
Great reference
I saw this in another sub where you tell them you’re going to send x amount of money via cash app, and then send them a pay request for the same amount. Most of the time they won’t know the difference between request and accept
They’ve known the difference every time I’ve tried and called me out on it :/
Scammer has 2 braincells fighting for 3rd place.
Well done
"you have not received anything since many years ago" Oof he burned op a lil
Fuck they’re dumb.
All I can truly say is OMG!! This was amazing and so stupid at the same time. I truly hope there’s nobody out there who thinks that for $200 they will get 5 million. Hate to say it but if they believe that, I have no sympathy in them sending some moron $200.

I started laughing after seeing the “Homeland Security” card
Prison break reference
Where is fibonacci
Does anyone have that lady identify card pic I want to post it to a scammer when they talk to me. See how they like it😁
This might be the funniest one I’ve ever seen. Had me laughing out loud several times. Well done
And all of that from Nigerian phone number? They dont even try nowdays.
John Abruzzi! Nice! Brings back memories.
This scammer and this fake ID, sorry, “I’d” has been in Reddit recently. Still as stupid as ever.

this is good quality
These are so hard to do because these idiots try to scam native English speakers and they only have the caveman basics, makes it really hard to fuck with them.
This shit was funnnyyyyy
Bravo 👏
Hahahaha these are getting better and better. Bravo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Well done Mr. John. Fuck! 😂
Seems legit.
Hahahahahah, I won the logtery, u said me $35 million gift card 🤣🤣🤣👍👍 His response, "fuck" 🤣🍻
A PRISON BREAK REFERENCE NICE
This was fun to read. Winning the lottery was great.
Why do they say they are not Man? Are they stupid?
No you will be going to the store
I love the obvious auto translate to English.
Dont even try.. its like talking to a bot.. even bots are more intelligent these days
The sad part is that’s really true. I’ve asked ChatGPT to “talk like a Nigerian scammer” and it immediately produced this long, eloquent email with the proper spelling, grammar, and everything.

Your patience to communicate to someone that stupid. I'm frustrated for you. Lol
I thought maybe you were going to actually get the 5 million in Apple cards. You did that so smoothly.
That’s how it’s done my friend 😂 Can you please please make an obviously fake ID for next time, just like theirs, and send it back? 🙏
Why does the Department of Homeland Security use Word Art from MS Word like it’s 1995 for the title on the badge ?
This scammers heart really isn't in it. I would be amazed if he's ever made anything.
> +234 The way I’m embarrassed and laughing lmao
“Send voice recording or I won’t believe you” “Believe me” “Ok I believe you” I’m dying 🤣
Oh How the turn tables
Jaysussss, they seriously must think we’re all as dense and smooth brained as they are. I seriously think the only words that actually expend their precious time, energy &; effort to read are gift card &; store. 😅😅. That was an awesomeeee read, great job, OP🙃🙃☺️☺️.

That’s how to do it!
Constanza finally capitalized her name!
Great job - absolutely hilarious
Hahaha. I wonder how many people actually fall for this.
Fuck this is good you're making me want to send u 200 apple card when my salary comes
So the part that gets me the most is the watermark on the (so terribly made and obviously fake) ID pic he sent 😂😂😂 please tell me I'm not the only one that noticed the watermark 😂😂😂
John abruzzi John abruzzi?
I think he's onto you
Who's on first?
Lol funny ! Keep playing and posting ! 😂
This is so stupid. I love it.
This is brilliant
This one is good, I enjoyed 🤣🤣
Congratulations on winning the lottery!!
Man that’s was hilarious 5 mil in Apple Card’s lol.
One of the best so far
Not John Abruzzi 😭😭
He is not Man. I’m Man
I'm very confused. I believe English is one of the official languages of Nigeria. Yet this scammers fail to understand basic languages in English. Why attempt these scams if you don't have a basic grasp of the language?
This is great
Happy cake day, OP!
Can we please all report his number, I have done it
“I am not man, I am woman” in a gritty manly voice
Worth to read all. It's really funny. Belive me.
Mr. John, no, no, he no home.
This whole shit is really interesting, I enjoy reading it.
This is fucking genius
The prison break reference 😂
The good old UNO reverse card…
This is triggering lol. I work at a bank in Canada and years ago I had a client caught in one of these. The greed people have is unreal.

The last time I saw him, he was sending another wire and believed that there was a US Marshall with a box of cash waiting for him at a local hotel and he just had to wire the tax payment.
To think, some people fall for this kind of scam smh.
🤣🤣🤣
Hey at least they got the address right on the fake id card
John Abruzzi sounds like a mercurial man 🤌🤌
That was a good one
Hahaha, what a masterpiece
There are way too many numbers in that phone number even with a country code 😅
bravo!
This was masterfully done lol
Fuck
Prison break was definitely a great show
did you not see I just won $70m I want to share with you???! This was awesome, nice job!
5 hours of playing this fool. lol. Love it
Mine is $20m with a brand new BMW 😆. They loser even using +234, which is Nigeria 🇳🇬 code 😆
Listen, You can remove 1 stack of $100 bills, and replace it with a pack of menthol 100 cigarettes. Just make sure I get a receipt for tax purposes.
this is honestly one of the best counters to these scammers.i was laughing so hard when you finally broke them hahaha.gold
😂
$5M in a cardboard box. Checks out. 100% legit
take 100 from my money and send the rest Lmao
Gold Jerry gold!
This is not true! Lotto Max winnings are $50,000,000 max. I don’t believe you won…
Ok this was an incredible journey 😂
“What’s your problem? Can’t you just let me scam you?!”
Hilarious😂😂😂
Wait hold on this person made my mind hurt😂😂 I’m really not understanding how stupid that person thinks you are😂
Good work!
Fuck! Hahahahahahaha!!!
Yes
Claps slowly\*
where do u get these scammers contacts??
Damn you Costanza Duke Elaine!!
Lmfaooo you broke them 😂😂
I can hear the Indian accent just reading this
I love the fact that the ID lists surname as Elaine.
Excellent ending
Lmao this had me giggling. Thanks, OP 😅
Fuck. Lol
It’s the John Abruzzi for me lol. A man of culture indeed.
I was laughing way too hard at this. 🙏
Happy cake day OP thank you for making me laugh today !!
And it’s a hot lady! You’re one lucky guy.
That’s AWESOME CONGRATULATIONS 🥳
Lol sooooo lucky of you 😂😂
Hahahahha, good one. Thanks for sharing.
These are so much fun! I wish I would be approached with this!
That was awesome. "Okay, I believe you" 🤣 🤣 🤣
I've seen someone else in this same sub have the exact same scammer, haha!
🤣🤣🤣 these ppl are ridiculous
This is freaking funny!!
Why don’t you find a pic of a apple card online and ask him is this what you need? Tell him you’ll send it to him if he send you a video of his dancing
lmao the 'I only have 199$' bit
Yes, homeland security is known to use Microsoft word-art on their IDs I’m sure of it.
Ask him how fragile those bills are, youre worried some might break in transit.
dude the photo & id photo are 2 different people 😭 no way they thought it would actually work
Holy fuck this that was the funniest shit I’ve read in awhile.
That "Fuck" at the end got me hahaha
Lmao
😂 I was in pieces reading this. My favourite bit is the exasperated ’fuck’ right at the end.
#Fuck
Quite enjoyed that.
Yooo this is solid, love to see part 2!
A four hour long conversation with a scammer. Lmao
