Best way to bust a scammer?

That will show you that contextual acronyms should be fine. Golden or platinum records on CD are valuable and I for one would pay a very modest sum for some CDs with personal data I lost about 25 years ago.
Concerning the scammers I think it is seldom worth the effort to bust them; the chances are slim anyway – just keep them busy for a while and send them packing when you get bored of the game. Some people are good at it and have made YouTube videos of it, but if you have to ask us I guess that means you don’t know what you are doing (FTR: neither do I) and the learning effort could be considerable. And probably futile. Day-dreams about busting baddies and becoming a hero are nice to indulge in, but they should remain just fantasies.
