Chatbot that can trick email scammers

Talking to chatbots is usually a waste of time, so why not have them waste someone else’s instead?

Better yet: why not have them waste an email scammer’s time.

That’s the premise behind Re:scam, an email chatbot operated by New Zealand cybersecurity firm Netsafe.

Next time you get a dodgy email in your inbox, says Netsafe, forward it on to [email protected], and a proxy email address will start replying to the scammer for you, doing its very utmost to waste their time.

Open the article below to see a few sample dialogues, they’re hilarious.
