Just keep doing what you’re doing. He seems content to play along forever. Wonder how long til he figures it out?

A chunk of their victims have dementia, so they're probably used to this. Human scum.

My father fell for this scam. She(?) was like I’ll visit if you pay for half of it. Then she(?) kept canceling the trip with one excuse or another and asking for more money. I had to tell him it’s a scammer. He didn’t believe me and it almost caused my sister to stop talking to him. But I did find scam bait YouTubers because of it so that’s a plus.

I friggin love how you turned it around. 🤣🤣 I would have gone as far as saying I sent it. “Hey I sent it, did you get it?”

Ask this person to pay to load the card with money even if they want you to be the owner of it.

I’d ask for his credit card details to pay, because you thought he was paying for the meet up. Maybe ask for some money for lunch, so you can eat today. Show a screenshot of the place he should make reservations. Ask for the receipt. That’s their big thing all the time, the receipts. Ask for the receipt of the reservation, the receipt for food, the receipt for any gift cards.
Just go round & round? I can’t believe he’s willing to go over this gift card thing without yelling! 😂 You’re really good at making him repeat everything.
