It's time to take a break from articles to have some fun! Most of y'all know the drill by now: We torment phone scammers and expose to you HOW they deceive, so you can WARN YOUR FRIENDS.

1. A Paypal scammer tells me someone used my account to purchase cryptocurrency. He told me to connect to his "secure server", at which point he would jump into my computer and destroy it. They keep hanging up on me so i keep calling them back. At one point I told them i was attorney Denny Crane and had a lot of money. He made up a big thing about how spyware and viruses got into popups on my computer and bank account.
2. I get a call from a fake lottery scammer, claiming i won some large amount of money, as long as i gave him gift cards first...
3. I get a filthy fake email claiming to be Paypal. I called them up as Guido Sarducci. The guy said my Paypal was hacked from a scary place called Dayton, OH, and now I have hackers in my computers. He tried to make me open a web browser to download his evil tool, and hilarity ensued. After a whole ton of misinterpreting what he said, he finally gave up and claimed he was going to cancel the fake charge himself!
4. A medicare scammer called and offered me free food cards, then transferred me to someone who sounded American!
5. I got another email that was totally misspelled, so i went with it, and it totally went over their heads.
6. I get a robocall from a guy claiming to be "The Amazon", trying to scare me into thinking someone used my account to buy Apple AirPods! I told him my name was Dennis the Menace, and it got fun. Of course, he offered to do a "security scan" of my computer.
7. Finally, everybody's favorite scambaiter is back! Karl Zmailchimp creates another persona called Ian Whattaburger! He got a scary message claiming he got a big charge on his credit card.
