How to deal with a scammer, new experience. Play with them and let them lose time is my mantra

I guess all of you guys may have been contacted by message here in Reddit by someone asking to verify/connect your wallet…. Well. Below my experience. I let the guy lose a solid 2 hours…
- first contact around 10.15
- he ask me about verify my wallet
- I thank him, telling that I’m desperate and I have lot of money locked (like 110k$)
- the guy is willing to help of course
- I give him a random ETH address, telling i use MetaMask
- he ask me seed phrase…. I give him
- he say is not working if I have screenshot
- I say yes… and I photoshop one with the fake seed
- he say is not working and ask me backup
- I photoshop same style
- I confess him that if I don’t unlock money I will lose my wife and children
- I confess that I attempted suicide already
- he tell me to calm down and will help
- he say something wrong and ask me to access MetaMask
- I tell him that all is working now and I thank him
- I say him that I will reward him with 1 ETH
- he want to see the screenshot of my wallet
- I photoshop showing him I have 89 ETH
- I ask him to give me his address to send reward
- he tell me when
- I tell that I have to consult my wife
- is like 12.10 now
At this point I stop messaging.
Anyway below his address; in case some of you nerd wanna check it to see what is on or transactions on it.

Well. I had fun and keeping him occupied at least made him lose time and don’t scam someone else in meantime.
His Reddit name is ROBAYK. So keep eyes open.
