Everyone hates scams, in all their ugly forms, and that includes those pesky spam phone calls from 'unknown' numbers that provide that all too familiar shady feeling in your stomach. Sometimes curiosity might get the better of you, so you pick up, and hear that convincing tone saying, 'Can you hear me?'. After which you reply, 'Yes', they immediately launch into their race of a conversation.

u/Every-progress took to r/pettyrevenge to share something hilarious. They had gotten scam callers to donate to charity. How? Well, it all started innocently enough. Fair, we don't know if this sneaky petty revenge would work in the USA (or anywhere other than Finland for that matter, where the event occurred) but it's still annoying for the callers.
