retoor5903dYeah, I will actually do that. I have the time and it's a lot of fun. If I spam them back, I will do it in very creative ways that are educative for myself. I will not just write some lame email / contact form spam scripts.. No, i have cooler ideas that even will raise my skills a bit. It has to be educative, else I see it as a waste of time. Actually, would love a fight with them. But they're just using WP and stuff. They're probably novice...
Ooeeh, they have a chat. Wiii -
retoor5903dI've had just a chat with them. I wasn't sure if it was a bot or human until it said "Do you want X or what do you want?" in an aggressive way so I think at certain moment a human took over. Now, we're dealing with a "Nigerian prince". Their web hosting is paid in Naira, which is from Nigeria. So not American. But I didn't expect to come from there in first place. Their mail servers are from Zoho which is Indian but very big world wide. It says nothing.

say you're from some esoteric country and the only financial service you have access to is some website that looks like an official bank or payment transfer app
allow them to make a new account but after they make the account don't allow them to receive payments unless they deposit 100$ first (yada yada it's for security to make sure you're a real person or something)
and that's basically it just keep having them approve transactions to you and then ghosting them. they think they will scam some very naive person out of their money, but instead they get phished themselves
idk sounds like a lot of work though
oh I guess it's less work if it's a crypto -
there's this hacker who sits around a finance chat im in and if they find crypto websites they try to backdoor them and drain their wallets. oddly seems to work a lot of the time

retoor5903d@jestdotty yeah, that's probably the scam. That's why they're probably from a country with not so much $$$. Here you don't spend a lot of effort for $100. BUT: they have their system quite automated. They only work for you if you deliver x, y and z information on forehand. They won't spend time on not real customers. They're even quite arrogant, so you would think that business is quite good.
They they get hacked themselves is probably because they're not techies. Same people as in the call centers probably. -
retoor5903dAgain one with an email. This is gonna be fun. I gonna scrape all their emails and will spread them to other spammers until email accounts unusable.

@retoor please be careful to not become the target for retaliation attacks. I also assume that they are just non-tech idiots but you never know.

@Lensflare if they could retaliate they would've used those tactics to extract money from people already
the best people to bully and do crime vs are the criminals because they have no one to turn to

It's mayhem, the amount of spam.
These spammers have a contact form on their website: https://devrant.com/rants/11509744/...
It has no captcha: https://digitaltechguard.com/contac...
I have time. I have all the time. Will flood that form endlessly if I see a message from them again.
This stuff became a nice hobby.
