Regular visitors may recall that here at the Dullum File we like to play with scammers from time to time. You know, the ones who rather than try to land actual jobs, pretend to be your Facebook friends. It’s their lame efforts to try to get us to send them money, supposedly to claim huge prizes or gifts.
Here is our latest, actual conversation yesterday with a scammer we’ll call Scammer.
Scammer: Hello
Scammer: How are you doing?
Me: Good.
Scammer: I’m doing pretty good and have you heard the good news yet?
Me: About Jane’s wedding? Heard you were there. How was the weather?
Scammer: Good
Scammer: And Did you heard about the good news on Facebook about the CEO of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg money grant in conjunction with the federal government?
Me: No. But I heard you all had to be evacuated from the wedding because of the rain?
Scammer: Some Facebook users name are chosen in automated random data base, where I got $90,000. I thought it was a scam until I got deliver.

I like to play with them, too. At some point I’ll tell them I don’t have a computer, or that my phone has just been disconnected so I can’t talk any longer. I may steal your bathroom line.
