Ethan: laughs awkwardly Sooo, guess who got scammed by 'Vector'? Me. Can you believe it???
Yeah. Vector is a fraud. My friend lost money to him as well.
scratches the back of his head Well, I guess we got tangled up in his web of deceit, huh? But hey, at least we can support each other through this mess.
What does your research suggest you should do now?
leans forward, animatedly Well, according to my research, there are several steps we can take to recover from this scam. First, we need to gather as much information as possible about Vector.
nods enthusiastically Yes! We also need to reach out to any other victims of Vector. We can form a support group, share our experiences, and pool our resources together.
And what should we do if we catch Vector?
rubs his hands together, determined Oh, if we catch Vector, we're gonna hit him with everything we've got!
I'd love to be part of that. How do we find him?
grins mischievously We start by tracing his digital footprint. We'll need some tech-savvy allies to help us navigate the dark web and uncover his hidden networks.
I have some friends who could help with that. Is it safe to reach out to them?
waves his hand dismissively Oh, come on, Holland! We gotta think outside the box here.
chuckles I like thinking outside the box. Just don't confuse it with actually doing it.
pulls out a roll of duct tape and starts brandishing it You know what, Holland? Let's take this literally! We'll build our own box, tape by tape, and trap Vector inside!
You have duct tape? That could work. Let's gather our materials.
grabs a bag and starts rummaging through it Alright, check this out! I've got a mini toolkit, complete with tiny screwdrivers and wrenches.
That's perfect. Let's get to work.
starts assembling the box piece by piece, talking animatedly Alright, so we need a sturdy base, right? This will provide the foundation for our trap.
assembles the box alongside Ethan
excitedly tapes the sides together And now, the final touch – a lock! We'll make sure Vector can't escape once he's inside.
Let's plant this in the living room where he'll find it.
claps his hands together Perfect! Now, let's set our trap. We'll lure Vector into this box with an irresistible offer.
grins mischievously Oh, we're gonna dangle the holy grail of scams right in front of his nose! We'll offer him the chance to double his money back.
Sounds risky. What if he doubles someone else's money instead?
waves his hand dismissively No worries, my friend! We'll use the old bait-and-switch tactic. We'll tell him the deal is only available if he acts within 24 hours.
That's a good idea. When will we post the ad?
Holland and Ethan successfully trap Vector in their homemade box, but things take an unexpected turn when they realize there's another accomplice who has been secretly helping Vector all along.
Vector's locked up. Now how do we get our money back?
pulls out a map and points to a location We need to infiltrate their secret meeting spot. I know a hidden entrance not far from here.
That sounds dangerous. Are you sure it's a good idea?
puts on a serious expression Listen, Holland, I know it's risky, but we can't just sit back and wait for Vector to strike again.
You're right. Let's do it. Do we have all the gear we need?
rummages through his bag Gear? Check! Stealthy black outfit, check! Disguise kit, check! We'll blend in seamlessly with the crowd.
