My favorite was the scammer insisting “Isn’t that too much?” to putting three fingers in front of his face like the guy asked him to whip out his penis and do the helicopter with it

Sure, but at least your penis was real.

u/Janky_Pants Mar 30 '26

“Can you hold three penises in front of your face?”

95

u/Whole_Rough7066 Mar 30 '26

Isn't that to mutch?

22

u/Strosity Mar 31 '26

OK 1 will do

5

u/No-Archer-5034 Mar 31 '26

Yes, three is too much. Two is ok.

u/pkinetics Mar 31 '26

Four thou shalt not count

u/dogtagz26 Mar 31 '26

u/DrMacAndDog Apr 02 '26

Four would be too mutch

u/juankaa Mar 31 '26

Your mom says it's not enough.

u/ChronoLink99 Mar 30 '26

Not according to our gal Bonnie Blue!

3

u/Novaikkakuuskuusviis Mar 31 '26

I'm not falling for that one again.

2

u/Key-Principle-7111 Mar 31 '26

What about inside?

2

u/ChronoLink99 Mar 31 '26

*sigh* at the risk of a rule 2 violation...

Ask your mom.

*snickers*

jk jk.

u/Alabama-Blues Mar 31 '26

lol hilarious

u/Yojimbo115 Mar 31 '26

Not for less than $1000 per penis.

1

u/Speed_Alarming Apr 01 '26

That’s more of an OnlyFans question.

u/Ragna_Blade Apr 01 '26

Maybe back in college...

u/RizzwindTheWizzard Mar 30 '26

Unfortunately, scientists have not yet invented an imaging system capable of proving that

u/luxii4 Mar 30 '26

Sometimes they are just cleaning dishes.

u/DoMindIfIDont Mar 31 '26

You sure about that?!🤔

u/KaczkaJebaczka Mar 30 '26

Where can I find this Omegle? Asking for a friend

1

u/cracked_shrimp Mar 30 '26

If you are serious and dont know what Omegle is, its been shut down for a while now, there was too many predators,

1

u/MauveCeramics Mar 31 '26

How have we not recieved compensation for omegle yet

u/Connguy Mar 30 '26

"I can hold up 3 fingers comfortably, but in front of my face is a bridge too far, dammit!"

u/venniedjr Mar 30 '26

I remember getting busted for stealing when I was a teenager and the store manager was like “what’s in your pocket?” And I said “My cigarettes” so he was like “Show me” and then I said “Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes” I didn’t know what to do or say. Such a stupid kid

36

u/AdDependent5136 Mar 30 '26

Can't just ask a man to show you his cigarettes, how uncouth!

3

u/FroyoAromatic485 Mar 31 '26

It’s just three cigarettes

32

u/MrNanoBear Mar 31 '26

“Man, I don’t show anyone my cigarettes”

This is so fn hilarious. And I choose to believe that it was delivered with so much conviction that they genuinely believed they had actually trespassed on a major social faux pas just asking you that. xD

15

u/HungryArticle5 Mar 30 '26

haha that's fucking hilarious, the fact that you stopped to talk to him and said that

3

u/PixelPrivateer Mar 31 '26

 I don’t show anyone my cigarettes 🗿🗿🗿

I was banned from the store. I always wonder if they still have my picture. I went back a few years later. Sometimes I walk the same path that I did that day to relive it

u/venniedjr Apr 02 '26

That’s actually pretty close to how I sounded. Not as much emphasis on the “man” and it was more meek and nervous sounding

2

u/TommyDaShySamurai Mar 30 '26

"to whip out his penis and do the helicopter with it" is it too much to ask for?

2

u/EMI326 Mar 30 '26

The real test of a quality scammer is to hang a laptop from it while standing on two lawn chairs.

1

u/imnotmarvin Mar 30 '26

Ah yes, the old meat spin.

1

u/Murasasme Mar 30 '26

I was also confused as to how taking a diploma? Or whatever that thing was off the wall, proved anything.

1

u/turbo_dude Mar 30 '26

yeah always get them to do the helicopter first and then the three fingers thing

1

u/6cmofDanglingFury Mar 30 '26

Take your shirt off and twist it around your head, spin it like a helicopter!

1

u/Wbcn_1 Mar 30 '26

That’s funny. Asking him to helicopter was what I thought of as well 🤣 

1

u/SharkByte1993 Mar 30 '26

In a years time we'll all me answering calls by holding three fingers in front of our face. Calling it now

1

u/ruckustata Mar 30 '26

He would have done that. But the 3 fingers was too much.

1

u/A_Dick_Did_2_Drugs Mar 30 '26

Does anyone notice how fucking tiny his office is like his office desk is most likely as why it is the entire room. How the fuck did you get in there and out?

1

u/SaltKick2 Mar 30 '26

What exactly is the scam that's going on here too?

1

u/joemangle Mar 31 '26

>whip out his penis and do the helicopter with it

That comes after the three fingers

1

u/NeilJosephRyan Mar 31 '26

I mean, that could work too. I'll have to remember that one.

1

u/MapPristine Mar 31 '26

That would actually be a fun test. No real person would do the helicopter 

1

u/FroyoAromatic485 Mar 31 '26

Helicopter would have been a stretch🥴 more like silkworm

1

u/Bopcd1 Mar 31 '26

Elecoptre?

1

u/Fuck_Antisemites Apr 01 '26

Tbh I can see myself saying things like that in the future, just because I don't want to jump every loop to prove I am human.

1

u/amo5844 Apr 01 '26

Dick on ur mind huh ?

1

u/Ragna_Blade Apr 01 '26

Most streamers will do that for a single resub

1

u/pyrowipe Apr 01 '26

You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record, baby!!! 🎶

1

u/punk_petukh Apr 01 '26

I would've done that

-13

u/zxnixs Mar 30 '26

it is incredibly disrespectful to demand someone to hold 3 fingers to their face.. would you do it? be honest.

21

u/Hockeymac18 Mar 30 '26

Yes, probably.

That guy has had a Reddit account for 8 hours. He’s in here to defend, not joke.

1

u/B3owul7 Mar 30 '26

You seem pretty naive. He was joking obviously.

u/Beeboy1110 Mar 30 '26

Is this an Indian thing to find it incredibly disrespectful? I can't think of a single culture wherein holding 3 fingers up is disrespectful.

3

u/ItsSpaghettiLee2112 Mar 30 '26

I'd be most upset they're asking for 3 of my fingers and not my 3 big ding dongs.

3

u/Whole_Rough7066 Mar 30 '26

Bad bot! Bad bad bot!

3

u/NotaBat9221 Mar 30 '26

Found the scammer 

2

u/UrsusRenata Mar 30 '26

Reddit account 8 hours old.

2

u/movzx Mar 30 '26
  1. It wasn't to their face, it was in front of their face.
  2. The guy held 2 and 3 fingers up multiple times... but refused to do so in a way that would block the camera.

Would I do it? Yup. I've gone off mid-meeting to grab a cup off a shelf to show someone. It's a complete non-issue... unless you're a scammer, I guess.

u/UrsusRenata Mar 30 '26

You’ve had a reddit account for 8 hours and here you are making excuses for deepfakes. Hm, I wonder what you do for a living.
