    Trying to hassle free things from scammers is the epitome, real life of "no u"



  44. Lyle on October 13, 2019 at 4:02 pm

    I couldn’t tell if that was a guy or a girl because of the voice and face unless I was shown the name, which is clear.

  47. Dr. Tex on October 13, 2019 at 4:06 pm

    This man spent weeks of his life replying to scam emails.
    Wasting the scammer’s time.
    Preventing him from multi-scamming.
    And got him so annoyed that he stops the conversation.

    And he never got his toaster…



  48. Shadowfom on October 13, 2019 at 4:06 pm

    Thank you for listening to my ted talk
