From mysterious benefactors to Nigerian princes, scammers are nothing new. Most people have learned to ignore dubious emails or Facebook messages. But we have a little extra respect an admiration for the people who respond to these scumbags in clever and amusing ways. After this person received a suspicious text message from their boss, they brilliantly responded with Nickelback lyrics. Which to us feels like a very sinister and appropriate act of revenge.

If you've ever looked at your Facebook Messenger spam mailbox, you've probably seen a nice mix of scammers, creeps, and bots. We've been seen a ton of the former lately, and can't help but feel for the people who fall prey to their tactics. While most people just delete these insidious messages, others opt to have some trollish fun with the greedy scammers. Imgur user L0LiAteYourCat is one such person. After someone tried to steal from them on the messaging app, they decided to waste the criminal's time. While it's not jail or hard-hitting revenge, trolling is a lot better than nothing.
We absolutely love seeing scammers get owned while scammin', and this text exchange is one of the better ones we've seen in a while. This dude "Michael" plays along with an insanely obvious attempt at robbery, and the results are completely hilarious. He trolls the scammer so hard they end up begging him to stop wasting his time. Incredible.
