The IC has resurfaced, see Zangi message man:

 

Hello, si man

My ex sent the money and sort the bills, si man

I was surprised when you act that way, si man

I think this relationship is not in safe hands, si man

I dont really have enough energy to chat, no man

And we have not Zangi'd back, no man.

My mom and my sister have great fun with the scammers.  My sister will answer and they'll ask for my mom.  She'll deadpan deliver the bad news: mom died.  Scammers usually hang up.  

 

One scammer called my mom and told her she'd won a cruise.  She rolled with it.  They started asking questions about her spouse and his information.  Mom said "why do you need to know that?  I thought I won the trip!"  Well, then it was a pivot back to her and all they needed was her credit card information.  She said she didn't have a credit card.  They said well why can't you use a friend's credit card.  So, naturally she replies "well what's your credit card number?  We're friends now!  Let's use your credit card!".  Needless to say, the scammer didn't like that, used some profanity and hung up.  Fast friends to mortal enemies in the matter of minutes 🤣

 

Agree with @Ontarkie.  Drop IC and move on.  There is the right person out there.  Don't sell yourself short!

Must arise at o'dark-Many AGAIN on Thursday for e-skool Band recruitment, :ranting: :ranting: :ranting: man.
