30+ Scam Messages That Are Too Funny And Pathetic To Not Share

by Sophia

It's not a secret that scammers are rampant literally everywhere nowadays. With the existence of social media and other social platforms on the Internet, more and more people seem to be manipulating and scamming random people out of their money, if not their personal information.

That's why data security is so important nowadays because you would never know where your phone number would end up, and you would only notice it when you get a funny text message from a stranger. And losing your phone number would be the least of your concerns when your data is stolen.

Now that most of the world's transactions have shifted online, it's pretty easy nowadays for scammers to retrieve personal information about us. This is especially true if we aren't careful with the things we click on our phones or computers.

When this happens, we tend to get spammy emails and text messages, and while they may be annoying most of the time, some messages are so hilariously obvious that they are a scam that people just decided to have fun with it. Even with the recent innovations and updates in technology right now, scammers still exist in various forms, targeting innocent people (particularly, the elderly) through phone calls, text messages, emails, and even on dating applications.

There is even a subreddit called Scams where over 330k members share moments where they caught someone trying to pathetically and lazily scam people into giving them money or just plainly fool them. Check out some of the best posts in the group below!
