QuoteCreated by New Zealand charity NetSafe, Re:scam uses AI to mess with email scammers, basically by replying to their emails with credible nonsense...If you fancy ruining a phisher's day, just forward a scam email to me@rescam.org. Job done.

I doubt you will ruin their day, but you will take up time that they might otherwise use to scam people. Her ageism in the first paragraph can fuck off though. Lots of people of all ages fall for email scams.
