Ever received one of those spam messages? I guess it’s safe to say we all have, at some point in our lives. Those unwanted messages suddenly pop up in our emails or even in our cellphones. For the most part, we just delete and ignore them and then move on with our lives.

Well, that’s not the case for this guy who spared some of his time to play along and teach the scammer a lesson. An Imgur user named Anthony Schillings shared how he received one text message and decided he wants to have some fun.

The unknown sender of the message introduced himself as “Larry Brown” and claimed to be an “employee” from the “Exxon Mobile Corporation.” He told Anthony that his number was picked as a “lucky winner of the ongoing lottery in our organization” and he’ll be getting a prize money worth $25,000.

Things immediately took an interesting twist when Anthony kept on responding.
