PICS: Man has a fantastic response to scammer trying to take his money

That's one way to do it

Alan Loughnane

Take notes from this guy…

Scams are everywhere these days and if there’s not a Nigerian Prince emailing you saying he’s left you a fortune in cash, it’s someone impersonating the bank calling you up, asking for your account details.

But we didn’t come down in the last shower and neither did you, meaning that you’re far too wise to be caught out by the very vast majority of these scams.

But there’s always a danger that you could be unlucky and fall for one and get screwed out of your hard-earned cash, but thankfully this is not one of these moments.

John Keane received a message out of the blue from a spam account on Facebook, and John is far too long in the tooth to fall victim of such an easy ploy.

But he decided to have a little fun before sending the scammer on their merry way, and he played it very well.

You may ask how he knew it was a scam? Well, he was already friends on Facebook with the real Mick and he knew that he wouldn’t be messaging him at 9am so John realised instantly it was a scam.

Cheers to John Keane for sending this our way.
