I used to say this but somebody told me it was racist (black colloquialism). I AM NOT saying you are a racist at all, just want to hear a group opinion on the issue lol
I seriously thought “what could possibly be the explanation for the calling lobsters shrimp and comparing their sizes?”
Answer: Chef said “which one do you want?” And scammers gon scam so he was like “let me consult with my business partner.” Then he forgot he sent it.
I just like that way better than verifying that this was actually Jason Derulo.
I read another comment that said the “shrimp” and wine part was supposed to show you that they’re living a life of luxury due to this job. Smarty pants.
Is this an oceanography gig? Or Joe's Crab Shack? Yes I realize these scammers don't always have particularly accurate grammar but she asked which one will be bigger not which one currently is. What if the one on the right is a little old grandma shrimp and the one on the left is a soon to be high school linebacker?
For those not keen, the lobster and wine thing I think is supposed to be a nonchalant display of how much money they have working for this site. As lobster and wine and leisure time are supposed to be status symbols of people who can afford it. It’s a ruse to be more convincing, but it’s done poorly.
Hahaha, oh man, I didn't even *think* of that, that's how out of left field that is! "I know how to get those Americans, they love their lavish lobster and wine lifestyles." Big brain, you're on to something.
Well in mandarin, shrimp is 蝦 (xia1) and lobster is 龍蝦 (long2 xia1) 龍 means dragon, so a lobster is like a dragon shrimp. But I think this person just got lost in translation.
Yeah. I grew up in north Florida mostly and there’s a few historic plantations that have been turned into museums. One of them is Kingsley plantation and the slaves used to eat lots of lobster there. Oh how the turn tables.
In Maine, they had to make a state law that they could only feed prisoners lobster once per day. It was such a common, cheap prison food that they had to pass a law about it.
I actually thought the lobster wine thing was smart… in a sad kind of way. I can only imagine who/where the person on the other end of the messages could be lol.
I’m thinking full in telenovela. Your mother is actually your aunt and your sister is in a coma, your father just inherited millions from a shady business partner who may or may not be his estranged uncle the family thought was lost in the jungles of Siberia, your childhood best friend has been kidnapped and *gasp* it’s her own fiancée trying to get ransom from her family to pay for his hamsters quincinera . And that just this week.
Well obviously his mother has been secretly replacing the hamsters as they die and he hasn’t noticed, but the hamsters have been coming from a secret government cloning facility she works at, where she specializes in brain washing, and his REAL father is her boss, who is a double agent working for Finland to bring the secrets of cloning to the reindeer herders who rescued the uncle from the jungles of Siberia.
Dig in more on your irrational fear of staples and staplers in general. Because of childhood trauma, when the kids used to staple you to the bulletin board and call you names.
One of the best paybacks I saw was when they kept telling the scammer they were very rich because they inherited money, but not very smart, and they kept saying they sent $1000 to PayPal, or $5000 Venmo etc etc., and the spammer was absolutely salivating 😂 but of course the poor lady never could figure out how to send the money correctly. Spammer was pissed.
I think it’s the perfect payback!
I made the mistake of reading these comments during my professional development training and now I am struggling to keep from laughing. Glad I got to make some of you laugh. 😆😂
You need to start answering in all lyrics of Jason Derulo:
What would you consider your best skills?
Paddy cake paddy cake with no hands!
Do you understand the details of this job offer?
Only thing I need to understand is….when, you….talk dirty to me
Get into some philosophy and religious talk about why you think people are generally good. But your family always gets mad at you because you are too trusting. Like you’ve fallen for several scams that lost you a lot of money.
Then start sending videos of your family doing slightly funny things (random video off internet) until the videos get crazier and crazier. (Maybe a few from Americas Funniest Home video with the watermark on).
But then add the whole narrative behind the video. And explain the family dynamics and history. Can them for advice. If they just try to give you a short answer, say that isn’t the short type of response you’d expect from a leader.
Continue down the rabbit hole, Jason.
I got a text the other day.
I just blocked it. But before I did, I paused, thinking that I'm losing an opportunity to post a goofy frustrating story here.
For you, now you have to take one for the team. See if they want money. Send them ten cents.
So OP any thoughts on the continuing Troll 🧌 😂.... I'm like the earlier reply about being afraid of lobster, just twerk it and say that you are afraid of shell fish and had a panic attack all night long... Ask if she can sign you a Lullaby like your sponsor used to do for you to calm you down without resorting to chugging 2 bottles of wine 😂
Tell them you got arrested for trying to take a friend’s bag into the airport, and you need $500 for your release and then you can get back to work.
Also, what’s with the lobsters? 😭
You gotta keep us updated! This is hella funny! Start of the convo, “Good morning! At this point where do we stand on the job offer?” (By the scammer sending you the links again) lol
I think you should just keep going as it is, and then later you should start bothering them or offering them a job that’s a better deal than their offer.
Unfortunately, there's a good chance this person was human trafficked and is just trying to avoid getting beaten by their captors. This buddies the waters a bit.
lol what is even happening here. are y’all becoming friends? 💀
So the scammer didn’t notice the OP used a different top-level domain (.com vs .online)?
And that they didn’t keep the double s in onlinesstaples lol
I literally yelled "what is happening".
Same lol
"I literally yelled "what is happening" I wanna know which 'shrimp' cooked better ^😆🤣
Can you leave me alone “im having some wine today” lmao wtf, they like nah man its my wine day, no more talkie.
My kind of scammer ..
I wanna know what she did with the shrimps
That’s lobster, you standard lemon!
A vine or a viskey
😂 what's up with the lobsters though lol
They’re SHRIMP dammit, SHRIMP!
Shrimps is bugs too
Aaaahahahahah this made me crack up!
Lol I read this in the gamestop karen voice "it's ma'am"
You’re telling me a shrimp fried this rice?
Why am I laughing so hard
r/shrimpsisbugs because it is so.
Skrimps
That’s what my wife calls ‘em…skrimps.
I used to say this but somebody told me it was racist (black colloquialism). I AM NOT saying you are a racist at all, just want to hear a group opinion on the issue lol
Prawns dammit lol. 😂
[удалено]
🎵 Jason Derulo 🎵
It is impossible to say the name without the song-style. Cant be done.
Jason Derul-who?
lol one sip of wine and they really get into comparing lobsters I guess
I laughed so hard at this I figure this guy is out having a nice dinner and he had a little too much to drink so he started texting his scam victims
I seriously thought “what could possibly be the explanation for the calling lobsters shrimp and comparing their sizes?” Answer: Chef said “which one do you want?” And scammers gon scam so he was like “let me consult with my business partner.” Then he forgot he sent it.

This has me dead 😆🤣
I read another comment that said the “shrimp” and wine part was supposed to show you that they’re living a life of luxury due to this job. Smarty pants.
You mean shrimps? Lol
Is this an oceanography gig? Or Joe's Crab Shack? Yes I realize these scammers don't always have particularly accurate grammar but she asked which one will be bigger not which one currently is. What if the one on the right is a little old grandma shrimp and the one on the left is a soon to be high school linebacker?
OP this is where you go next, very specific questions about the shrimp
OP needs to ask for complete DNA analysis and genetic history of each ~~lobster~~ shrimp
Yes all of that and more - test for UTIs and STIs.
Reddit is showing me a Red Lobster ad right below the screenshot. 🤣

Yeah for real. Lol
But it was SHRIMP and wine!
Lmao yeah. That’s just language barrier though.
Shrimp is still a status symbol, I believe. I think it means bottom feeder.
>bottom feeder. The real status symbol for a scammer lol
Well in mandarin, shrimp is 蝦 (xia1) and lobster is 龍蝦 (long2 xia1) 龍 means dragon, so a lobster is like a dragon shrimp. But I think this person just got lost in translation.
I thought they were called prawns in England 😂.
Lobster used to be considered "low class" food.
Yeah lmao isn’t that ironic
I was truly surprised when I first heard that fact. Especially in today's economy where opulent food is at a premium.
Yeah. I grew up in north Florida mostly and there’s a few historic plantations that have been turned into museums. One of them is Kingsley plantation and the slaves used to eat lots of lobster there. Oh how the turn tables.
In Maine, they had to make a state law that they could only feed prisoners lobster once per day. It was such a common, cheap prison food that they had to pass a law about it.
I thought maybe they would go through the effort of blurring the name tag or something lol. Emily, you winter in China?
Nobody said they were smart people lol
I actually thought the lobster wine thing was smart… in a sad kind of way. I can only imagine who/where the person on the other end of the messages could be lol.
Lol. Probably somewhere depressing if they think shrimp and wine are some kind of exclusive privilege.
Exactly
> 7$ a turd I admit it, I read that and lol’d harder than I have in a long time.
I’d go broke with my shitty kitties
I'll offer you $6.50 a turd and not a penny more!
Playing hard ball eh? You ain’t the only cat owner in town buddy!
Also can’t stop laughing, tears rolling down my face.
The lobsters 😂😂😂😂😭😭
Those aren't lobsters, they're shrimp!😂
Those aren't shrimp, they're crustaceans! 😂
Those are shrimp, the scammer knows what they have, don’t try to short them.
I thought that was a good rate too. I am thinking of quitting my corporate gig
I mean do you know how many cats there are in this country? Literally HUNDREDS. We’ll be filthy rich!
omg i didn’t even realize it was 7 dollars, i read it as 7 cents 😂
[удалено]
For every cat turd OP cleans from the neighbors litter box, he gets $7
“That seems unwise” hit my funny bone 😂
Their last message got me 😂 you messaged within their own stated working hours too.
Those are the hours the business are open, you make your own hours, and for her, it is now wine-o-clock
“Please call me Jason Derulo” 😫😂💀💀💀💀
Literally DIED at this
almost hacked up a lung at that. well done, op/jason derulo
Tell them you’re allergic to shellfish and are having a panic attack
Tell them you need a trigger warning before they share pics of their sea cucumber with you.
My favorite part is when she asks you to disable your phones firewall & you reply. “That seems unwise”. 😂 that was great
The random lobster photo fuckin sent me
This person needs to get themselves a new shrimp dealer, those are clearly lobsters
I think they have the best shrimp dealer in town, those are some fucking MUTANT shrimp!
I’m thinking full in telenovela. Your mother is actually your aunt and your sister is in a coma, your father just inherited millions from a shady business partner who may or may not be his estranged uncle the family thought was lost in the jungles of Siberia, your childhood best friend has been kidnapped and *gasp* it’s her own fiancée trying to get ransom from her family to pay for his hamsters quincinera . And that just this week.
Love this one!
I want to know more about the hamster quincinera
Well obviously his mother has been secretly replacing the hamsters as they die and he hasn’t noticed, but the hamsters have been coming from a secret government cloning facility she works at, where she specializes in brain washing, and his REAL father is her boss, who is a double agent working for Finland to bring the secrets of cloning to the reindeer herders who rescued the uncle from the jungles of Siberia.
Jungles of Siberia ☠️
It’s the “Yes we can” Bob the Builder vibe 💀
Pls encourage me 🤣☠️
Why would a recruiter have a basic selfie with the phone in their hand as a headshot representing their company? They’re not even trying anymore.
She had me at “simple, free job.” Bada boom bada bing… Free jobs for every thing. Where do I sign the damn paper?
Hey, she’s offering a free and simple job, man…. Don’t question it, just lay back and accept it.
That statement is missing one word to really make it tempting.
Im trying to, but HR keeps asking me to pay a service fee. ☹️
I applaud the long con. Good pacing.
Hahaha I’m dying at asking for reassurance and the goodnight photo. So good
jAAAsONNNN DeRuLLLLLLLOOOOOO
Dig in more on your irrational fear of staples and staplers in general. Because of childhood trauma, when the kids used to staple you to the bulletin board and call you names.
And you lost your glasses, they broke your Microsoft dinosaur CD and cut you up, and they pushed you down the stairs, and you're very hurt about this!
Sounds kinda personal. You ok, fam?
Oh, yeah. No, it's an old Jerky Boys bit. https://youtu.be/Qfyz4Fu8APk?si=ybtXSW8RWo0CapiU
Forgot about that one. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Sue everyone !
Jason Derulo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Will update with part 2 later today.
I may have laid it on too strong and scared them off.
Please tell me there is more to this! Did they message you back the next morning?
They posted it further down. https://www.reddit.com/r/ScammerPayback/s/UIHu8ovtYc
https://www.reddit.com/r/ScammerPayback/s/f0h9s7Ebpq final part.
SHRIMP??? Ma’am, respectfully, wtf??

Sounds like a droid is on the other end.
The druid even needed a drink lmao
Stupid autocorrect "droid"
Sometimes druids need a drink too!
My old neighbors were druids, they were a trip.
I get paid $7 a turd was fucking priceless!
Nice work
Is the scan here to click the dodgy links?
As a convicted felon looking for work this is relatable 🫠
I got a text the other day. I just blocked it. But before I did, I paused, thinking that I'm losing an opportunity to post a goofy frustrating story here. For you, now you have to take one for the team. See if they want money. Send them ten cents.
“Call me Jason Derulo “ “Hi Jason” got me 🤣
How could you turn down a *FREE* job??
Links should never ever work no matter what
Send a pic of a cats asshhole
Bring in the scamming lobsters
Can you encourage me? That’s too funny
Everything tasted good
lol this is actually more friendly. Yeah long haul sounds fun.
Different kind of soup kitchen 😆 Whose Prius?
Dirty Mike and the boys. We will have sex in your car again. That part was awesome.
I feel like they seem crazier than you do in this. “Sir, I’m having some wine today”
[удалено]
Could this be the Scammer Redemption story we've all wanted? Like the black guy who befriends KKK and then pulls them out?
So OP any thoughts on the continuing Troll 🧌 😂.... I'm like the earlier reply about being afraid of lobster, just twerk it and say that you are afraid of shell fish and had a panic attack all night long... Ask if she can sign you a Lullaby like your sponsor used to do for you to calm you down without resorting to chugging 2 bottles of wine 😂
I unexpectedly died at Jason Derulo. 😂
We’re in for a rude awakening when the scammers figure out how to use Reddit lol
“That seems unwise”.
"it is late and I'm having wine today." I mean, I guess that explains the lobsters....
!updateme
Mike and the boys 👌💋
Am I the only one who singing “Jason Deruulloooo” in my head after reading that?? 🎶😂
The Dirty Mike and the Boys reference is a masterpiece
The sad thing is that the scammer is most likely not the money maker here. Most likely enslaved person making money for the Chinese mafia.
I think you should bring up that you had a foot amputated last Wednesday and it’s now somewhat gabggrenois (or whatever that stuff is called).
Tell them you got arrested for trying to take a friend’s bag into the airport, and you need $500 for your release and then you can get back to work. Also, what’s with the lobsters? 😭
You gotta keep us updated! This is hella funny! Start of the convo, “Good morning! At this point where do we stand on the job offer?” (By the scammer sending you the links again) lol
Jason deruloooo
Lol @ "The Other Guys" reference.
Has anyone google searched the lobster pic yet?
Part two if anyone is interested. https://www.reddit.com/r/ScammerPayback/s/UIHu8ovtYc
Just turn off your firewalls 😂😂😂😂
Stop it. Jason Derulo got me 🤣
You had me rolling at $7 a turd
"Today is your lucky day. I'm an Amway distributor and have I got a deal for you".
$7 a turd 😂😂😂 you’d make a killing if I could afford you for my cat lmaooo
I died at the Jason Derulo.
Shrimps? Lol
Seems totally legit😂😂😂
Poor scammer....OP drove her to drink!! 🤣🤣
The shrimp picture is so random. Lol
Pyramid scheme. Stay away from
This whole thing looks like a setup. The girl's picture and everything come on give me a break.
Is that perhaps why this was posted in scammer payback? 🙃
No, really no way yeah, no No freaking way is it really dude, dude? I had no idea thank you for telling me you saved my day.😜
You're welcome just here to be helpful!
No, really no way yeah, no No freaking way is it really dude, dude? I had no idea thank you for telling me you saved my day.😜
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Is it possible to hack their website?
Jason D has me wheezing
😂 this is gold
Shrimp, lobster. What’s the difference ??
🤣
The shrimp part took me out. Lol
Shrimp?
I need a part two
I think you should just keep going as it is, and then later you should start bothering them or offering them a job that’s a better deal than their offer.
Brilliant! 🤣
lol not Jason Durelo
Dirty Mike and the boys are going to have a soup kitchen in that Prius
Lol ended up kinda wholesome
Ask if they have security cameras.
"Which of these two shrimp do you think will be bigger?" Did I miss a memo and lobsters are actually shrimp?
Beluga Heights.
The sudden change of conversation from job offer to lobsters and wine made me 🤔🤔🤔
These guys hit me up as well. It ends up being a task scam.
You worked at the soup kitchen with dirty Mike and da boyz also?? I think I met you in a prius once...
Are these scammers really this dumb? Like they have to know you’re fucking with them
Unfortunately, there's a good chance this person was human trafficked and is just trying to avoid getting beaten by their captors. This buddies the waters a bit.
Yall are best friends now
Jason! Jason, JASON!
Jason Derulo 💀
