Never mess with a scouser. When Tom Sheerin from Liverpool, England received an unsolicited message online from someone claiming to represent the ‘CEO Of Facebook,’ and promising him a hefty cash prize and a Jeep, he decided to turn the tables and scam the scammer.
“Decided to have a little fun with someone trying to scam me on Facebook, kept him busy for about 2 hours,” he wrote, sharing screenshots of the hilarious exchange, as Tom strung the scammer along with increasingly ridiculous questions and scenarios.
To be fair, the gormless approach and execution of the scam left Tom with an open goal, it really makes you wonder why these guys bother. The thread makes for hugely entertaining reading however, as Tom takes his chance with glee and makes a complete fool of his ‘hunter’ and shows why Liverpudlian humor is up there with the very best.
