    Interesting way to deal with scammer, but then sometime they spoof their number so the victim got double victimised.

      There was a period where I kept getting phone calls from people angrily asking me to stop calling them. I think a scammer was spoofing my number :/

        Same here. I’ve had multiple angry texts and calls from people I’ve never contacted before.

        I got a few of those. One memorable one in particular was from a guy that was raging hard.

        “If you don’t stop fucking calling me, I’m going to come to your house and kill your whole family.”

        Okay, chill dude… I’m not doing it. Clearly someone is faking my number. Just block me and move on.

        “NO! I’M SICK OF MY PHONE RINGING ALL DAY LONG! YOU NEED TO STOP OR WHAT HAPPENS NEXT IS YOUR FAULT!!!”

        Okay… So I’m gonna go ahead and call the police now… Have a better day, man.

        It was like the start of a damn horror story.
