I really need there to be a Frankie's Beans Substack now. I'm fully in support of canonizing this into the greater Both Are True literary universe.

Alex Dobrenko`'s avatar

Frankie hasn't yet delved into Jelly Beans he feels they are too chaotic no rhyme or reason just pure whimsy over there so he is gonna stick to real beans at least for now

Well, I like to trick Scammers, but this exchange was definitely a lot more fun that what I do 😂

I was one of the targets for the scam. I saw your email (not your email), shook my head and thought, "yep, now the scamming begins on substack as well." First clue it wasn't you? It severely lacked humor. 🫠

Nicely done to corner the scammer and post the video.

I hope they put the same amount of energy into a real job.
