The last email I posted about here last week has Apple’s
Attention. If you get an email from a scammer pretending to
Be Apple forward it to:
[email protected]
Boing Boing
Somebody wrote an email bot to waste scammers' time
I love this. When you get a scam email, forward it to [email protected] and a bot
will keep the scammer busy emailing back and forth with it, giving the scammer
less time to rob gullible humans.
Introducing Re:scam – an artificially intelligent email bot made to reply to
scam emails. Re:scam wastes scammers time with a never-ending series of
questions and anecdotes so that scammers have less time to pursue real people.
If you think you’ve received a scam email, forward it to [email protected] and
we’ll take it from there. We’ll even send you a summary of the conversations
Re:scam has had with the scammer – sometimes they can be quite funny!
Re:scam is an initiative aimed at helping people from becoming fraud victims by
occupying the time and resources of scammers through deploying a well-educated
artificially intelligent chat bot. Instead of junking or deleting a scam email,
you can now forward it to Re:scam who will continue the conversation
indefinitely – or until the scammer stops replying.
Re:scam can take on multiple personas, imitating real human tendencies with
humour and grammatical errors, and can engage with infinite scammers at once,
meaning it can continue an email conversation for as long as possible. Re:scam
will turn the table on scammers by wasting their time, and ultimately damage
the profits for scammers.
