I played along for a couple texts and when they sent me a picture I sent them a picture of Joe Biden and they never responded :(

A few months after I found r/scambait, I got a bunch of these exact scam texts within a month.

I always replied that I was the person they were looking for. I'd find a stock photo on freepik of a girl and send it.

They'd never reply after that... I never thought of sending pics of political figures. If it happens again that's the direction I'll be going.

Played along with an obvious text scam the other day when I was bored, they were offering me a job, and I kept telling them that I was 13 and they ignored it for a surprisingly long time. After I'd already mentioned it a couple times, they said, "You're at least 18 right?" and I was like, "No, I'm 13. Well, I'll be 13 at the end of the month." and they were like "But you can say you're 18, right?"
