Not sure if emails work the same way, but this is how phone scammers work
If you interact with a phone scammer, send them to hell or do anything at all with them, you just get added to a big lost of people that respond to scam calls and so you get more calls
I try waste as much of their time as possible. It seems I’ve been such a cunt and wasted so much of their time that they have put my number on a blacklist.
I have a work phone and a personal phone. The work phone i answer calls from I known numbers all the time. My contact information gets passed around as part of my business. For a while I had scammers hitting my number 3-4 times per day. I answered and fucked with them every time. A little free stress relief through the day. Now I almost never get them anymore.
My personal phone I have always screened all the calls. It still gets hit with scammers 2-3 times per week.
I guess you are right. There is a list going around of numbers who waste their time.
That’s what I figured too. Make sure to be the biggest pain for them. Seems dumb to put someone that is savvy and not a rube on a list to be called more. I would think the not answering scam calls would get you more calls because they are unsure of you.
I defiantly got onto the call more list at one point but I kept being the biggest pain in the ass and one day they just stopped completely. I once had these one people on the phone for 6hours straight and went through about 4 transfers in the process. They connected with my VM at one point where I was live developing a fake bank website I had passed through from my host. Did u know u can embed the password game into a website extremely easily and conveniently I needed a password reset and needed help. Yes I stole the idea from kitboga.
Tbh I see it as free entertainment. Doing dishes and telling some guy that u computer needs a windows update and after he says to click the ignore button 500 times to say u want to update to ensure no scammers can hack you.
Most scammers do NOT get hourly pay, at least in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, or the Caribbean. They’re paid solely on commission for the money they make for the scam call center they work for, or they work for themself so nobody is paying them.

I have recieved two spam emails over the course of my life and two or three on messengers of varying degrees of privacy. Am I just lucky?

Jesus Christ dude. 6 hours?!
Ignoring calls is easy enough. I value my time more.
If I don’t recognize a number I just don’t answer it. No time commitment.
Kotboga’s record is around 54 hours. It’s amazing.

They get paid for that time. They literally do not care.
You’re only wasting your own time.
They have to meet a quota… wasting their time means they aint out scamming someone else.
