Man responds to scammer with Adele lyrics. And it’s hilarious.

When someone you meet online suddenly starts declaring their undying love for you and asking you for money to buy a plane ticket to come meet you, you’re being scammed. That’s just a fact.

You can read more about this type of scam in an earlier blog post of ours here.

Most people, upon realising the scam, will probably just block the scammer. After all, that’s the sensible thing to do, right?

Not for Frank Flemming Jensen from Denmark though. When the “woman” who was messaging him over the Facebook Messenger mobile app started declaring her love for him, Jensen decided he’d have a little fun.

But the requests for money will inevitably start… and that’s money you’ll never see again.
