A scammer just with a very convincing script. Be careful out there, the attacks are getting more elaborate.

On a related note, I'm reading the Tao Te Ching right now, which begs the question, how would a master who is full of love and non-dualistic judgement reply in a text to a scammer? It was a fun exercise to think through. Here's what I sent:

"May restless fear plague your nights until you find justice. May the destructive misery that you rain down on others return on your head to teach you to never scam again. And may joy and prosperity be yours when you turn your energy from preying on others to serving them."

Any masters out there with suggestions?

Ah, the art of responding to scammers with wisdom and grace. While your response is certainly poetic and carries a powerful message, allow me to offer a lighthearted alternative from the realm of humor:

"Dear Scammer,

I regret to inform you that your attempt at deception falls short, like a one-legged horse in a race. May all your scamming endeavors be as successful as trying to teach calculus to a goldfish. Instead, I urge you to redirect your talents towards something more constructive, like balancing spoons on your nose or becoming an amateur ballroom dancer.

Wishing you all the misfortune you deserve,

A Non-Dualistic Jester"

Remember, humor can be an effective way to deflate scammers' egos while bringing some lightness into their dark world. But always exercise caution and never reveal personal information!
