    By your title I thought this was a new scam to be wary of.

            @JimB: Unless you take off all your clothes first

            • @MS Paint: I moonlight on OnlyFans so am naked, other than my headband.

              (sorry Gentlemen, I'm male… but if you're still curious and who am I to judge, you can sign up for $14.95pm. DM me for further details).

    Movie Compliance (2012) is about these events. Unfortunately only in Apple TV+ atm. See this video if you don't mind spoiler.

  • "Don't Pick Up The Phone"

    Me, with huge social anxiety looking at the 50 missed calls and another unknown number calling through:

    Say no more, fam.

  • yeah watched it…very weird serial offender and crimes. its hard to believe people went along with his ruse to the extent that they did

  • some people are easily manipulated using psychological tactics, a lot of people defer to authority figures in most situations almost automatically, as long as the caller can establish themselves as such then they override the other persons logic and decision making process

  • There was a group called Pranknet which would partake in tricking people and causing issues for them…

    This is where they hired a guy from Craigslist as an actor for a fake TV pilot, got him to try and break the window of a parked car, all while recording him from across the street

    In this video, the pranksters make a Hardware Store employee make an announcement over the stores paging system that there is a sexual predator in the store and that all parents should keep their children at their side while authorities enter the building and apprehend the offender.

    It is scary that people would go so far as to make life hell as they did for the employees in this documentary.

    • I'm more intrigued on how the guy portrayed by Leo DiCaprio who managed to counterfeit cheques / cash and get to experience all kinds of professions without any qualification by fooling everyone whilst even flying as a commercial pilot.

      Then there is this Jho Low in his 20s, who kind of studied the movie and live as one by fooling everyone to rob billions whilst nailing Miranda Kerr.
      Ohh, his hollywood studio also funded DiCaprio's Wolf of Wall Street movie.
