TL;DR

The author shares a comedic narrative of encountering a scammer on X who promised free money. The post details the absurd interaction, including fake transfer proofs, demands for gift cards, and the author's playful trolling, ending with a lesson on avoiding online scams.

I got scammed on X.

Strictly speaking, it was an attempted scam.

The method is clever, so I'm sharing it.

If you watched partway through, make sure to see the punchline!

**・Encountering the Scammer

**A DM comes from a certain account.

The gist is: "Giving away money is my life's purpose, please let me give some to you."

Really!? Is that okay!?

Looking at this account,

they usually tweet about wanting to give away money.

Rich much...

Nice... being rich... (looking into the distance)

・DM Content

Since they say "I love giving money generously,"

I ask for 100 million yen. But then I think I can't FIRE with that,

so thinking it's still in time, I immediately ask for 300 million yen.

Make it in time!!!!!!

It became 1/30th of what I asked. Deflated.

Apparently they can only pay 10 million yen.

Is it Yucho Bank...?

They asked for my bank account info for the transfer,

so I gave them the account number for "Sake Kasu Bank and Kamakura Shogunate."

Almost got 10 million yen!!!!

They politely send an image of the 10 million yen transfer.

Amazing!!!!! Got 10 million yen!!!!

They even put in the account number properly. Good job.

Even though it doesn't exist. Did they open it for me?

That's not how the story goes.

For some reason, they demand a 15,000 yen fee.

Hey, that's different from the deal.

They say to pay with an Apple Card.

If you're rich, just cover that little bit.

Kurapika rolling around is cute.

The Kurapika from past interactions

paid the fee and received 10 million yen.

They send proof that he was rolling around happily in his room.

※Why are you talking to Kurapika in Japanese?

yumi - inline image

I slipped up.

Still, I want that 10 million yen.

While rushing to prepare the card,

because I'm too clumsy, I almost buy a Nintendo Card.

Never skip greetings.

They also rush to mark the Apple Card for me.

**This guy, inside he's human.

**I start acting like Aoyama Thelma.

Clumsy person #2

Furthermore, because I'm clumsy, I buy a 1,500 yen card.

yumi - inline image

"I'll exterminate the bloodline of filthy Kurta Clan types," huh?

Apologize for doing something wrong. Promise to rebuy later.

The opponent, panicking, pulls a virgin move,

so I accidentally self-identify as Kurapika.

Don't add their LINE, it's a scammer's LINE.

For some reason, they suddenly demand LINE here.

I don't want to give info, so I just get their account ID.

Regrouping.

yumi - inline image

Oops, Muska leaks out.

Preparing the 15,000 yen Apple Card,

**but my nails are too long and hide the code.

Maybe I should actually do these beer nails**

yumi - inline image

Sending the correct card specifically is kind!

Dirty nails.

Finally getting angry, they tell me to move my hand.

yumi - inline image

I moved it already.

Moving my left hand, but suspicion remains.

You're smiling a bit there.

yumi - inline image

They politely send an image showing where to move.

Is this guy competent at work?

Moving reveals my recommended CoCo Ichibanya menu.

Everyone try the Handmade Tonkatsu 400g!

yumi - inline image

Still going.

Desperately trying to get at least the 1,500 yen back.

yumi - inline image

Excuse me, I'm a woman?

Showing the unpleasant side of women and shifting blame,

they lose patience with me.

※For some reason, only the like button gets pressed.

yumi - inline image

I was consumed.

Afterwards, I try being needy, but it's just read receipts.

**・Lesson

**Don't fall for too-good-to-be-true stories!

Also, even if money is actually transferred in such cases,

it might be dangerous money, so don't touch it.

You might end up helping with fraud.

・Aside

yumi - inline image

Huh?

**After this incident ended, I was followed for some reason.

Are you a convenient woman?**
