30+ Scam Messages That Are Too Funny And Pathetic To Not Share
At least they tried, if you count the bare minimum of effort as "trying."
Scam messages are usually easy to spot, but every so often one shows up that is so awkward, bold, or badly written that it becomes funny instead of threatening. That is exactly what makes these examples so shareable, because the people receiving them are often more amused than alarmed.
In this roundup, the messages range from fake celebrity texts to obvious phishing attempts and bizarre requests that make no sense at all. The common thread is simple, scammers keep trying, and the internet keeps turning their worst efforts into comedy.
Some of these messages are so ridiculous that the replies are almost better than the scams themselves. Read on.
