Got a text an hour ago saying it was my boss and he needed me to take care of something for him. It was an unknown number and the stupid f*cker spelled my name wrong, how's that for a couple of red flags?
He thinks I'm on my way to the Apple store to buy gift cards for "customers."
Any good ideas on how to play him? I'm just stringing him along/

Damn, no ideas? I can't keep this dipschit on the line forever.
Wants me to buy two $500 gift cards. I told him I left my AMEX at home. And I'm #15 in line so this might take a while.....

Tell him next your CC was expired- have to go home to get another.

That's a new one. You could play along and waste his time, so he's got less chance of trying to rip someone else off.
Whatever you said...everyone knows you are a lying jerk. That's a bold assertion. Point out where you think I lied. Well?

Tell him you delivered the cards, and the people who got them were very thankful.

Tell him you are driving past the office and see his car there so you are stopping to talk in person.

Well, I didn't do that, I escalated. Told him or her I was tired of him asking me to run his errands, I get no respect, and I didn't need the job so I quit. Told him to get his own damn gift cards and shove 'em up his ass, sideways. That may have scared him off.

But, I strung him along for a couple hours while doing chores so that's a net positive.

Play them as long as you can. The ruse will end when he wants you to scratch the panel and give you the numbers. Alternatively he'll give you an address of a mule to send the cards to and you'll have something to give to authorities, but I doubt it'll go down that path.
Edit: Just saw your post saying that you called it off. He'll be trying that same stunt on someone else no doubt. They are relentless.

A grown man not looking for attention would hang up and forget about it.

Save it up your ass, I don't give a shìt, what are you gonna do with it. It doesn't hold a candle to "well the men I know," LOL. Did you have your hands on your hips when you said that?
I really was looking for any ideas to string the sh*tbird along, this is the first time I was scammed via text and I had nothing creative.
