I was trolling a 419 scammer and once I called him out, he made a half-hearted attempt at a plan-B sob story which didn't go anywhere, and shockingly he turned to a demand for reparations (actually using the word reparation), for what my "my people" had done to Africa. This is becoming a bit of a topic here in the US but I wasn't expecting it from a Nigerian scammer.
I'll keep the topic of reparations and my opinion on it, out of this but I was alarmed to hear it and felt like there must be potential victims out there, who could potentially be bullied into it 'cause for these low life scammers, it's just another ploy to rob people.
Anyway, I went after him in a bad kinda way, said lots of nasty things that I ain't proud of 'cause I wanted to do a preemptive strike on it, hoping that he wouldn't dare bring it up in the future, with an actual vic.
Also, I did expend a get-out-of-jail-free-card; I was using my favorite character for trolling - Julio Sanchez, who is clearly of Mexican heritage and "his people" couldn't possibly have done anything to Africa. If anybody else encounters it, feel free to use this card, safe in the knowledge that Nigerian scammers usually don't know a word of Spanish 'cause neither do I.

hey, just a quick question. Did you burn the scammer? I mean have you told the scammer that you know he's a scammer and told him all his flaws? That would be a bad idea, because it teaches them how to be better scammers.
Maybe post the exchanges. You can of course censor the bad words, but it could be nice for others to see your work.

I just like to get them to go as quickly as they are willing to, from email to text and then to the phone 'cause I get my kicks out of speaking with them directly and berating them, although most of them hang up quickly.
This particular issue of a demand for reparations, I found a bit disturbing 'cause they seem to be acutely aware of the goingons here in the US and this particular scammer made a similar demand.
Anyway, my post was just an FYI thing.
