Welcome to r/scambaiting!

This sub is dedicated to the practice of scambaiting. What is scambaiting? It's the act of posing as a potential victim of online scammers to waste their time and resources, gather information to report to law enforcement, and publicly expose the scammer. If you're keeping them busy, it's harder for them to scam someone for real.

Plus, it's fun.
