So I ****** off a scammer. Am I in danger?

You’ll be fine. These scammers just operate behind screens and phones and very often they’re based in a different country. They’re generally not gangsters or mafia members or anything like that; they’re not going to come round yours and risk getting arrested. And it would be absolutely not worth it for them to do that for one person, bear in mind they’re scamming loads of people at the same time.

This person was defo in the UK. He had a road man London accent so that’s partly why I was worried. I’m not far from London so… I mean if he wanted to make my life miserable or threaten me he can.

He won’t, he’s busy scamming other people. Scammers aren’t known for including physical violence and stalking in their career goals.

Presumably you've reported this to the Police or action Fraud?

So basically, you know those texts you get from scammers pretending to be Royal Mail or Apple wallet? Well I fell for it and gave them my card details. I don’t usually fall for these things but because I had an incident at a restaurant a few weeks back with it not recognising my card, I didn’t click this time and thought it was genuine that they took my card off. I realised what I had done after about 40 minutes and disabled my cards.

So today I got a call from those scammers pretending to be my bank to tell me I’ve been scammed. They were going to take more of my details by doing that. Anyway, they said my name and said they’re calling from my bank and I said “No you’re not. STFU” and hung up. He dropped the act and started cussing me out and left me 4-5 missed calls. I didn’t pick up. Anyway he stopped after a few minutes.

I forgot that he actually has my home address because of those card details… now I’m nervous that the harassment might continue tomorrow or get worse for me. You never know who these people are, I’m just hoping he’s not a psycho gang member that would take this too far. Any advice?

They won't do anything.

I've been threatened with all sorts of legal and violent action via people on the phone trying to get my money. Nothing came of it.

I have not. He used a private number so I’m not sure how else to go about it

Report - both can find the person.

How though? How do I report it?

Are out of this world, you cussed a scammer and you think he’s gonna hurt you😂 if I ever saw someone who tried to scam me I would confront them no matter what I said to them, dm if “they sound like a road man”, you can’t be serious🤣

Also, I don’t think you quite understood why I mentioned he sounds like a road man…
