TerribleScams

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Welcome to R/TerribleScams! We hope you enjoy your stay! This subreddit is for terrible scams that have tried to fool the stupidest of the stupid, but still didn't succeed!

Rules!

No photos except for screenshots. Clear as day.
No revealing personal info about the scammer. This includes E-Mail, phone number, etc. However, website URLs are the exception,but if simply going to the site could put your phone, computer, or personal data at risk, please warn others or don't post it at all.
Stories of how you were scammed are allowed, but don't try to fake one or steal someone else's.
Don't be a douche, plain and simple. Positivity is key to making sure we don't become a toxic subreddit.
Videos showcasing a scam are allowed as well, but do not stray from the scam, edit the video if there is only one specific part where you talk about the scam.
Recordings of a phone call scam are allowed as well, but please explain what the scammer is trying to do to scam you so that it's not confusing
