This woman outscammed a ‘romance scammer’ demanding £3,000 and it’s glorious
This isn’t the first takedown of a scammer we’ve featured on these pages, but you won’t have read many funnier – or more beautifully constructed.
It was posted on Twitter by Becky Holmes Hates Spinach – @deathtospinach – who said:
‘My beloved, Zeltinis, told me I would have to pay £3k for him to be able to leave his oil rig to come and visit me.
‘I therefore decided to visit him instead, but he has been very resistant to it.
‘He’s presumably just worried for my safety, which makes me love him even more.’

It turns out Becky is something of an expert at taking down romance scammers and she’s even got a book about it.
And here is just a fraction of the love people had for her encounter with ‘Zeltinis’.
Becky plays the romance scammers at their own game, rather brilliantly. https://t.co/YjTBRq1pSD

Is he by any chance the single parent of an adored child that he is caring for after the mother died in a tragic accident? These wonderful men working hard in remote corners of the globe so selflessly 😂😂😂. Mine are usually engineers in the military in the desert 😊

Tell him it’s totally fine now because you are travelling via reindeer to a location from which £3000 may be sent to him. pic.twitter.com/2d1YLpptFm

These were all taken in Iceland earlier this year with my mum. I got her to take them specially for a time when I could use them for Twitter 🤣
