Reader Friday: Creative Punishment for Scammers

Is someone trying to get into your computer or phone?

On Thursday, October 26th, Debbie Burke discussed text scams. Here’s the link to Debbie’s post. If you missed it, consider reading it now for the sake of your elderly loved ones.

I had already thought about using a tangent to this topic, appropriate punishment (or better, creative punishment), for today’s discussion. I almost axed the idea, but then I noticed how passionate some of you were with creative ideas for torture punishment for scammers. I decided that more of you may need to vent. So, here’s your chance.

I hope you’ll put on your unexpected-plot-twists writer’s hat, feel the emotion, and let it explode onto the page. Let it rip. Don’t hold back. We’re eager to see your creativity in dealing with the villain. And you’ll feel better if you do.

What creative punishment would you suggest for text scammers?
