The internet is full of scammers—people who prey on trust, fear, and curiosity to trick others into giving up their time, money, or personal information. At Nerdibles, we’re collectors at heart, but instead of Funko Pops or trading cards, here we collect scammers. And instead of letting them take advantage of people, we flip the script: we waste their time, expose their tricks, and share the lessons so others don’t get caught.
This blog is a mix of entertainment and education. Here’s what you can expect:
What We Do
- Scam Chats: Real conversations with scammers (with personal details removed). We drag out the chats as long as possible to keep them from targeting others.
- Exposés: Step-by-step breakdowns of their tricks, showing you how they try to manipulate or deceive.
- Scam Lessons: Each post ends with a takeaway—practical advice so you can spot similar scams in the wild.
Why We Do It
Every minute we waste a scammer’s time is a minute they’re not spending tricking someone else. By exposing their methods, we give power back to the community and hopefully save a few wallets—and a lot of headaches.
What’s Nerdibles Got to Do With It?
At Nerdibles, we’re more than just a shop for collectibles, games, and maker gear—we’re a community that values creativity, curiosity, and a healthy dose of skepticism. This blog is another way to live out our mission: helping people stay sharp, have fun, and avoid being taken advantage of.
Dexter Dodson, our nerd concierge, sums it up best:
“Collect Hard! Nerd Harder! And never let a scammer collect you.”
