Our question, what is the strangest phone call you've received or had to make 206-803 rock?

People are saying the text, hey, how are you?

Haven't talked in a while.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Saying that's called a pig-butchering scam.

The pig-buttering scam.

All right.

Basically, the idea is from the agricultural world to kind of fatten up, so to speak, the victims, before you take

advantage of them.

Okay, I got to, I got to trust.

You start a conversation.

Oftentimes, I'll say that they don't want to talk anymore on this platform.

Maybe want to go to email or WhatsApp or whatever.

But they never say who they are.

They're just trying to befriend you and then get you to invest in whatever crypto thing they've got going on or transfer money to African prints or whatever they go. Or an astronaut stuck in space. That's exactly right. Or Brad Pitt. That is, that one, that one was, that one was bad. It's real bad. Do you remember that one to earlier this year i'll believe oh yeah

yeah so she thought that brad pitt had a crush on her or something like that anyway they they hit it off

they have a couple weeks for a couple months long relationship uh but brad pitt needs money because that's

one thing we know about brad pitt brothers broke all the time So she sent a bunch of money. Then a lady more recently, one of the astronauts is stuck on the space station. Now, I don't know why you need cash on the space station. There's no ATMs. I'm like you're paying for anything when you're up there and she fell for that one. Yep. Elway woman in Japan sent thousands of dollars to a trickster who claimed to be an astronaut trapped in space and in danger of any moment of suffocating. This is horrible. And money would help how? Ah, yeah. In fairness, the lady, though, she thought they were also in love. So he had also communicated that. Sure. This is back to the, I guess, pig butchering world. Look, my wife could be stuck on the space station. I love her, but I'm like, baby, me sending your money ain't going to solve anything up there. The 80-year-old pensioner lives in Sapporo, the capital of Japan's Northern Ireland. And a delicious beer. I was going to say it, so I know it. I just learned of that right now. Met the scammer on social media in July. Police said describing it as a romance scam. Not only did the scammer claim to be a male astronaut, but he soon broke the news to her that he was in space on a spaceship right now. And urgently, he was under attack and in need of oxygen.

Under attack from what?

I'm not sure. Just under attack?

So what else?

What else could he do?
