Two people scammed their 6y old static with fake fanfest tickets and hotel reservation and then bailed.

Oh yeah and both Lalafell, as a fellow dunesfolk this makes me so proud. Only we can sell our mother and stab our best friends in the back after years just for some sweet sweet gil!

Gotcha, making fun of two scammers isn't funny or nice and we should be all depressed and cry about the scammed peoples losses!

And i am not your buddy, friend!

Hopefully police reports have ended up filed.

The problem is that it doesn't come across as making a joke at the expense of the scammers. It comes across as making a joke at the expense of their victims.

Exactly my thoughts

The algorithm brought me that video as well. Pure sadness.

i have to say that sentence, "we printed the tickets out", was a HUUUUUUUGE red flag. Noone prints tickets, especially at those prices, this days, the are all digital anyways. Still that criminal potential of those two is just sad.

I literally called the scammers backstabbing people and people who would sell their mother for money. I know the "proud" part was the only thing that Sophia read and then turned into a raging white knight who had to defend the poor scammed people without even thinking for a second about the context.

To me every normal thinking person on this planet should know that this is a joke, especially after OP mentioned they are both lalafell players. Especially when i wrote it so over the top with the added "selling our mother" which wasn't even part of the drama and clearly negative towards the scammers.

But for some people irony and sarcasm is hard to understand, i am used to it.
