I usually have the habit of drinking water before I head to bed which brings me this problem.

waking up at odd times

I wake up feeling the urge to go to the toilet. Then when I lie back to try to continue my sleep, thoughts fill in my head. It is usually something that's gonna keep me up awake and it can be a while before I arrive back in dreamland.

Negative thoughts.

It was 3.30am perhaps when I suddenly woke up earlier. However, 3.33am was when I checked my phone. I have to get my thoughts out offloading them.

trolling scammers

Well, I've done that many many times. Just a couple of days, there was this lady who claimed that I've been selected to win some sort of price and she continued talking for a while then she asked, 'What's your income now?'

'none, because of the covid 19 and I've been home'

Then she asked, 'Do you have a job?'

Yes - I answered. (the most monotonous tone I could be) being silly helps.

'Then how do you survive without a job?'

'my savings'

Then she answered, 'in that case, I will call you next time.'

I wanna see how patient they can be.

scammers in the real world

I have also met real life scammers and this is usually what I do.

Pretend to be the opposite of what I have. Usually if you have another person to accompany you, it would be better. The scammer would feel outnumbered.

Playing indecisive

A couple of weeks ago, this lady came to my mom's shop where my wife and I on weekends work at. So this lady casually walks in.

She claims to have Uber (in Malaysia, there is grab)waiting for her at the car park. She owes them fifty bucks and she said she was waiting for her dad to come to her aid a bit later and she needed to borrow money which she would later pay up. Definitely when someone guarantees and keeps on emphasizing that they would pay up, they won't.

I said,
'I am just as poor as you are. In my bank, I I've only got less than 30 bucks' and I looked at my wife and said, 'so so you want to help?'

My wife was not sure and the responsibility ping ponged among us. It was there and then when the scammer who was waiting said that it was OK.

A couple of days, on my Twitter account, someone followed me.

Hello - he said

My Twitter account and that is the actual conversation.

Then I asked him to send me his account. He did. I am still trolling him. I want to see how patient he is. Usually scammers want to con someone quickly and run off with the cash and keep everything clean. No tracks. They won't be able to give you details. No matter how true something sounds to be, know that greed can get us.

There is one very popular trick that is still on YouTube which is the Bitcoin deposits. Once you deposit certain amount, it would be doubled. It's on the official ads too. I wonder why it's not checked before it's allowed.
