I got contacted a few days ago by someone on WhatsApp asking me if I’m looking for a job, I knew it was a scam because no one will contact anyone out of the blue, on WhatsApp no less, but I’ve watched scambaiting YouTube videos before and thought I might as well go along with it and see where it goes, might be fun!

So a few days later I was contacted by someone from a different WhatsApp number introducing themselves as someone from a certain company and offering me to work for them online for a couple of hours a day for a lot of money, I looked up all the info this person gave me and I read up on task scams and realized where this is going, it’s basically the Snowflake task scam with a different brand.

I am now playing along and acting dumb, trying to make sure not to alert the scammer whatsoever, I was wondering if anyone has any tips to screw over the scammer? Any tips are appreciated. I will obviously not deposit any of my own money no matter what of course.

PS: I am purposefully not mentioning any extra details or names for the time being just in case these scammers monitor this sub, I don’t want them to know I’m on to them (as unlikely as it may seem)
