Hey all, I’ve been scam baiting for about a month now. When I have scammer hooked, I have so much fun with it. Keep ‘em on the line for over an hour in some silly situations. But that happpens once a week for me. Usually they hang up within the first few minutes of the convo. The main problem seems to be that they want access to my phone while I want them to access my VM. The other issue is they ask for my email address and after I provide it, they put me on hold and eventually hang up. Suggestions encouraged

I’m using my alias email. It’s a proton mail or a hotmail. One or the other

Maybe I’m not understanding your question. If you could explain why you want to k ow my format. I can answer your question better
I’m asking this in a polite manner; Why does my specific email address matter? If you’re wondering how childish my email address is, it is not at all. It is a regular name with some numbers in it. I was more thinking that the scammers were checking to see if my email address is on a list they send their initial scam out to or something along those lines.
Also I’m more concerned with getting around remote access to my phone instead of my VM. I seem to be coming across that issue quite a bit.
Young person, “I’m a construction worker. I work outside, so I use a flip phone”
Old person, “I use a Jitterbug phone, will that work?”
Fact is, many scammers are not working in a call center and don’t even have a computer. They are scamming with just a phone.
As for email, I wouldn’t give them protonmail. There’s probably never been a scam victim who uses protonmail. That would be a dead giveway, I think.

Ok, thanks. This is good. Those are good responses with the phone issue.
I have come across the same problem with using a hotmail email. So I’m still kinda wondering what’s going on there.
Do you sound like a young, white male?
If so, you’ll need to overcome that by changing your speech pattern. Try slowing down.

Solid advice, appreciate it greatly
Could you also give me tips on number hunting?
Do you have an account on bobrtc.tel?
Ok, I checked it out and I see a lot of numbers there. What’s the difference between that site and the scam forum here?
BobRTC is a platform for calling scammers, whereas we are just an information listing forum.

I was asking because you asked about number hunting, and I have a number hunting group on chat and I would invite you to it.
Nice, I will definitely join. Thx!
Ahhh, I see. I’ve been using the scam forum to call them 
Seems I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. There is a timeframe to sign up and it’s too late in the day. I will definitely sign up tomorrow. Thank you for this information!
