I think I just learned how to say “Fuck Off” in an unidentified African language! I get stupid phishing texts occasionally, which I either ignore or briefly respond to if I think there is any chance they’re real. (It only takes one or two comments; the process is highly formulaic).

Today I decided on a different tact. Full text exchange below:

SCAMMER: Hello

ME: Go away

SCAMMER: How have you been?

ME: You should know, asshile! [That was a typo but I kind of like it)

SCAMMER: Did you actually forget that you met at Jenny’s party a few days ago and excepted our number?

ME: No

SCAMMER: Excuse me, I’m getting so confused now. Aren’t you Ella?

ME: Mom’s will was very clear. YOU GET NOTHING. She’d rather give the money to a stray dog than you. Like I said: GO AWAY.

SCAMMER: Boka Xhosa

Google Translate isn’t coming up with anything, but I probably don’t need a translation to figure out what the scammer means.
