She wasn't scaming, she was preaching the word of God! Go Grammy!!
Amen!!☺
She was yanking their chain! No scam there, just screwing with them! Hilarious!😅
She didn’t really believe that gibberish. She’s not a moron.
Media have to say that cause it crushes their worldview.😟

This woman is wise & hilarious! Good for her 👏👏😂
Way to go! The longer you can waste their time, the less time they have to connect with someone that might be gullible.
Good for her! But she wasn’t scamming them, she was serious.
Bumma should run a course for our elderly communities , she’s gold!
I love her! Thank you for wasting their time.
She wasn't "wasting" their time. She was planting seeds of revelation. Not time for the Rapture yet, but it's coming one day.
It wasn't "wasting" their time. She was trying to save them. She PLANTED A SEED.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My son loves talking to scammers!! He keeps talking til they hang up on him. Love it!
toddler?
God bless you grandma, God bless your family. Wise lady.
My son is doing this all the time.
He speaks to them with their accent 😅 and makes them crazy 🤪
LMAO 🤣
Omg her fake crying was cracking me up!
Bless this woman 😂
My mother in law is 90 and she is like this 😂😂
Good for you grandma!❤🎉😊
Love it! ❤ And I love when she preaches The Word! 🙌🏽
This beautiful grandma doing perfect in her 92 wish her long healthy life. God bless❤❤
Thanks for the ideas! 😆🤣
THIS LADY IS WONDERFUL, TELLING THOSE FOLKS ABOUT THE FUTURE FOR ALL OF US❤❤❤😊😊😊
Those are some great genes! And a great relationship❤Grandma and granddaughter relationships are so special!
Get em, Grandma👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤❤❤
Bless her heart 😂
Beautiful lady Beautiful soul❤❤❤❤❤❤
That’s my grandma even when it’s not a scammer .
I think that’s because we lose our filter.lol say it like it is..
Keep them on the phone, preaching truth. Then they can't harass other, older folks
Love a good Granny story!
Just Love this woman Internet GOLD
I love Baba !!! If the Government won't do anything to get this type of stuff under control we should all be like her .
This is the funniest ever! I though i was funny because i would pretend i called them and thank them for calling me back, and then priced to ask if they were ready to make their payment, but this is even better
I like your idea too! Never thought of doing that!
Ewwwwww 😂that is a great idea john haaaa
That is so funny at least she is wasting their time and as long as she is keeping them on the phone it stops orhers being scammed. She is doing the same as Scammer Payback and Kitboga on TH-cam along with many other scam baiters. 👍
When scammers call I do pretend I can not hear them and I keep saying. Hello, hello, hello....they get upset and hang up.
I do the same, I even say, mom is this you again, maybe you hit mute again lol
@@Lady_Cyndia I will borrow that :)
Thank you!
She should keep up the Good Work! 🤣😹👍👍👍🎉🍾
My dad, does this And I find it hilarious
Good for her!!! My 74 year ild neighbor was recently a victim of a romance scam. This creep took her for $22,000. Sad thing is, she said she fell in love with this creep. She is a recent widow.
oh I hope the creek wasn't too deep and she can swim
@@myopinion6092 troll
I am sure positive 100%.... God has motivated her for this ministry 👍👏✋✝️🙏
I call the FBI on 3 way
😂😂😂😂
Every time I get a scam caller now I tell them I'll pray for a real job for them instead of them being a criminal. Once I said, "you need Jesus because you're a criminal". They are always shocked and hang up.
I've been doing that for years. My mom did it before she passed and my uncle does it too. That's not witty banter- that's the gospel. Get right or get left.
Brilliant! 😂
She's the best ad libber I've ever seen! ❤ 🤣
My grandmother would read the Bible to the scammers, she fell asleep in death awaiting for her to be resurrected.
That was no joke. She was saying a hope we all have. The rapture is a event that is going to happen. I pray this happens for her.
Grandma deserve every acting award diniro and alec bladwin ever got. she's a hundred times better
Oh how the tables turn…
Donna is great at these calls and I hope she comes to YT!
Now that's how you do it. Well done Grammy. ❤😊
she looks great for a 92 year old
Love it! 😅😅😅
Scammers target Seniors. There needs to be a way to easily block numbers from landlines that is free for seniors.
Great Grammy! When they call hubby he says” hello, you are on the air. Please start talking! “
My son, when he was ages 5-8 loved talking to these scammers. He was very bubbly. And they’d always hang up on them.
Y'all need to see "The Beekeeper". Lol!!
The more we elders can do this, the better off everyone is. Sometimes I just start speaking Swedish or German and they hang up after a few minutes. It's good to ask lots of questions, which keeps them on the phone longer and can be lots of fun!
I usually recite a Poem in Spanish which I learned in High School in the 1960s. It’s all about El Cid and very boring. They usually hang up! I’m 75 now but I don’t get many scammer calls now as I have caller display and don’t pick up the phone if I don’t recognise the number. Years ago I remember getting a call wanting to get me compensation for my recent ‘accident’ so I went along with it and when he asked what my injuries were I told him they were terrible and he was lucky I could even talk, as I’d been decapitated! They often would swear at me before hanging up.
What you laughing for ? She's correct He is coming ,,,
There's no rapture . The anti christ arrives first to deceive the World . There wasn't an apple in the garden either . Watch Shepherd's Chapel to learn the truth . All this nonsense will make sense once your eyes are opened .
@@tinaoina5105Its true
@@tinaoina5105It's true
It's true Jesus is coming back.
@@tinaoina5105 yup the bible says you would say that ,you just proved prophecy lol 😂
Love Her. Excellent response to the crooks😊
Nice, but now scammers know how many kids and grandkids she has and the name of her granddaughter and that she doesn’t have a husband… hoping she never gets caught off guard.
Amen Grammy! I'm also a Grammy and a Christian... God protects us when we depend on Him!
Bumma could give classes to seniors on scamming the scammers. She's an angel in her own way.
Brava! 👏👏👏
What a beautiful woman and she’s 92?! Amazing. I think she’s got at least 10 more years to go.
She’s a sharp 92 year old! Great going, ma’am 😇
👍❤️ While she has them on the phone, at least one scammer isn't scamming anyone else!
Think I am going to do just that😂 👏 bravo 💕
Great story!!!!!!! 😂
If anyone can talk your ears off for real or for fun, it's a very experienced woman... GO BUMMA!
A great way to share the love of Christ and the salvation message. God bless you, grandmother, with safety and with the gospel message.
They'll just call back, and back and back.
Good for her 😊
Right on. I sent to my 92 year old mom and told her See don't let people tell you
you are old.
Think of how many people this woman has saved by keeping those scammers out of other peoples houses that aren’t as mentally prepared. Good job.
Love her. God bless her. She’s doing kingdom work from her chair. Do you know God? Amen, Bubba!
🤣 She just needs someone to talk to every now and then. 😉🙌🏼🥰 Sorry… still LMAO 🤣😭😂
This is glorious!
I love granny doing the Lord’s work
This is awesome 😂
She's the hilarious granny 😂she got that one good!!! I wish the other grandmas will see this and do the same and not be so vulnerable
Kitboga would be proud! 😂😂😂
God bless this grandma 😇
I use the same technique for door-to-door missionaries. The never come back. 😉
Good for her. 💖💖💖💖
I do pretty much the same thing but I’m only sixty three years old but I’ll ask them whatever pops into my head I’ll ask about family what their wearing how’s their weather but I haven’t gotten any lately though they’ve seemed to put me on a do not call him list and dang it I miss messing with them too but this lady seems like a great woman I especially loved the one that sang happy birthday to her that was awesome keep up the great work you inspire the rest of us bravo my dear bravo.
I am a Gen X 58 year old who will be 60 in two years. Do I become suddenly stupid and fall for scams? Hardly... if it sounds dire it is is a scam. Call the business, bank, or institution they're pretending to be.
Shes clever! You can be angry, or scam them, we do the same thing. I spoke in my father’s accent, said explain again please? And just frustrated them he hung up. He called to see if anyone else could speak? It was so fun. Told him I had my computer ready.. he spoke slowly, I was cracking up! In the end, he said the key is on your keyboard ma’am!!! Listen!! When I said oh I don’t have a keyboard it’s a tablet, he cussed and hung up. End of it.😂😂😂😂. Hope she posts more she’s funny.
❤ her. She’s a hot ticket as we say in Boston 😂
I just don’t answer those calls but maybe I should ! That would be fun.
😂😂😂😂😂 she did good
🤣 For extra fun, wait for the scammer to say Sir or Ma'am then (no matter which they said) get super angry and accuse them of mis-gendering you.
Great story. I got a call and they said my mother has to have an operation, so could you help out. I said, you have the wrong number, this the lawyers office. They hung up right away.
Good for you grandma! I started texting them back and I sent them Bible scriptures.
My dad does this type of thing. When the scammer calls and asks "How are you doing today?". My dad starts off with, "Well not so good" then goes off making up health problems, trouble at work, all the home appliances breaking, the dog ran away. Pretty much an old country western song where everything has gone wrong.
Eventually they just hang up.
What an inspiration!!
I was getting 8-10 scammers calling every single day. I got rid of them recently by getting their first name, then overtaking them, saying I was so glad my grandson (inset their first name) called because I was promised you would call me on your birthday-so I sing Happy Birthday, loudly and off key. Then I very excitedly say thanks for the tickets to Paris, I have my passport ready when is he picking me up?
Love her!
Granny, saving the world of scammers, bringing them to the Lord
😆 good girl heeheee , that is what I used to do when ever I received those kinda calls , they stopped calling
I have done the same thing, although maybe with a bit more aggravation. It quite often ends with them cussing me out as though they were the victim, or asking me if I can get them a job. A couple have tried to intimidate me, claiming they know where I live and they are sending people over to do whatever.
My 88 yr old mother loves getting them on the phone. She will discuss dinner menu options, and what is going on with her health care. She doesn't have anything better to do with her time....lmao
Awesome, this is something that I enjoy doing when I am not busy, keep them talking so they are not scamming someone else!👍
While we laughing that might not be a bad idea lol😂
I’ll be with you Bumma!
The longest time I have kept a scamer on the phone was about 45 minutes, then my better half told me to let him go. I really enjoyed wasting the guys time and as long as he's on the phone with me he can't call anyone else to try to scam anyone else.
Best response to them ever!! 👏 😅
