It’s a bot. You’re not trolling anyone but yourself
Comment on Is this a scam or am I being paranoid? And if so, what kind of scam is this?
Cock_Inspecting_Asexual@lemmy.world 2 days agoI wasn’t planning on accepting a check from some rando online. That much common sense I do have. I will admit I am a bit of an idiot for entertaining them because I deadass CANNOT help myself.
I lowkey-highkey just wanna fuck with em in some way or waste his time. I used to troll fake VRchat model artists with zip bombs, but I’ve never really encountered a check scam before, so I was curious about it, hence why I asked.
I already know it’s a scam, but I was curious on the specifics of the scam. I like learnin about shit and was curious

Get them to send you the check.
Say you deposited it.
See what happens.
Offer steam gift cards as the payment for the inevitable “I sent too much” part of the scam. Steam is no longer selling physical gift cards.
So you can waste some time pretending to go to a shop, unable to find them, trying other shops etc.
Kitboga is a master at wasting scammers time if you want some YT vids to watch.
