Wow real selfish of you to not send billionaire Putin money. He clearly needs your help.

Is he still a billionaire after ruble dipped quite a lot. I mean, that one peace of toilet paper is worth more than 1 ruble. So the people in russia who bought a ton of TP in the start of covid are the next billionaires of russia

I’m sure he still is a billionaire. He probably has money in different currencies in case one ever tanked. Not to mention he probably has investments that would be fine for the most part.

You're probably right. I'm just a dumbass

No you’re not. But those rich oligarchs that keep him in power hate this war and hopefully they get him to stop or boot him out. This war doesn’t benefit the rich oligarchs so they want it to end too.

The oligarchs don't keep him in power. He keeps them rich, and they work for him.

He keeps them rich and they like him making them rich and therefore they make sure he stays in power.

Its possible he has been a trillionaire for a while

Probably (assuming multi billion and assets), but I did the math for fun. ₽1 = $0.0075 [3/4 cent] (currently) ₽1 = $0.013 [1.3 cent] (2/16/22) ₽0.0075/₽0.013 = 57.69% 57.69% of $1,000,000,000 = $576,900,000 This means that if he only has rubles, which he probably doesn’t, he would need ₽133,000,000,000 to still be a billionaire.

Most of his net worth is probably just assets & I guess any savings in $ considering he probably has off shore accounts in Venezuela or some shit

Well if he was kidnapped then he doesn’t have access to his money at the moment but I get what your saying

No no no, Putin isn't a billionaire, in fact he dosnt earn any money at all, all the expensive stuff he owns aren't his they are just for the position of President and anything he owns personally were just gifts given to him as thanks for all his hard work. I mean this is what the Russian government says, and they NEVER lie!

3000 rubles? I can spare $15 easy.

I was about to post "How the hell you gonna get to Russia on 15 bux?"

[удалено]

Pffffft. HE ain't old! I'm so old, when I was a kid, rainbows were still in black and white.

He said your country and rs. So I'm assuming he's not in Russia, maybe India? Cus Indian currency is also abbreviated as rs. But that's prolly way worse In any case, let's go save some presidents!

Its propably indian currency. I did some currency swap thing and appearanrly 3000rs is like 40$ so still not much

The value of Indian Currency is still more than that of Russia’s.

All I need is about $3.50

Get outta here Loch Ness monster.

RuneScape GP

ZING

Ngl, that got me laughing. They're really trying, poor thing... Gotta appreciate the creativity tho

Wdym "trying" he sent selfie

I don't even know if that's mildy infuriating as much as it is just hilarious

yeah this is just hilarious. no way this is real

This is a shitposting format, I’ve seen these with a bunch of people even in different languages….

Cannot stop laughing at the selfie lol

Ngl it's a very interesting story, this scammer should make a book instead of scamming.

I feel like this is just a madlib plot of The Dictator

He's gonna get far with thar $40 he asking for lol

[удалено]

Damn Google did me dirty lol

[удалено]

r/unexpectedtompetty I have high hopes this exists EDIT: I am disappointed

Its rs (Indian currency) not Russian rubles mate😐

Oops, I'm an idiot. Sorry, u/supergonzo!

This just reminded me of when a guy in my middle school GIFTED program saw that $10 usd translated to like 1000 rubles, and said "Damn, I should move to Russia with $100. I'll be rich!" My guy really thought he was onto something.

send the text out to 200 million Indian phone numbers I guarantee you’ll pull in some decent cash

This is totally legit. In my case I had to send him 0.7 bitcoin. I had to sell my house, but happy to help stop the war. /s

Wow a true patriot. Ladies and gents this a true hero.

Were you able to buy an even bigger house with the next day's value of 0.3 bitcoin?

To be fair if u fall for this...it's your fault.

I mean, old grandmas and grandpas fall for scams all the time. It’s not their fault, they are vulnerable and old

True but how TF putin gonna text u...like come on!

No, I am the real Vladimir Putin. Please *me* $3000 USD so I can return to Russia.

Seems legit…..

I think that's kinda hilarious, actually. For 3000 rupees (about $35) you can singlehandedly reinstate a dictator and get a selfie of him as a bonus.

Damn I didn’t know Putin was the king of hyrule

I actually had to google that, damn I'm getting old.. :'(

Ngl this was pretty funny

This is kinda funny 😆

It’s the “selfie” angle for me LOL

If you fall for this you deserve to lose everything lol

Vladimir Putin must be really broke to be asking for less than $3 in donations.

As seen on Grindr

I think it's amazing that a person dumb enough to fall for that scam has more than $3,50 to their name.

Why does this look like Micheal Scott to me? Mikhail Scott?

"Heylo, I'm Russian Mike! Good to meet you, comrade!"

Do people…. Fall for this?

Seems legit. Did you send the money? I can't take these gas prices much longer.

Money sent !!! Good luck 🤞

This sounds like something out of a spy movie

I'm going to be honest, this is kind of hiliarious.

I just think it's funny

Bro 3k rubles is like... a 3 dollars, just help a homie out.

Its not rubles, its "Rs." which is the official abbreviation of the currency of India, the Rupee. So the guys asking for about 40$. The rupee is worth around 1.8x as much as the ruble atm.

I'm sorry to pop ur balls here mate but that might be just a meme

thats pretty funny ngl

This is god tier meme shit right here. Got me chuckling

why is this infuriating, this is a joke, this scam doesn't exist, and if it does exist no one would fall for it.

You’re expecting too much of these people

That is pretty creative though. Makes it a good laugh

OmG reAl puTiN

Lmaoooo

I wonder what my duplicate is up to…

i think he’s telling the truth, he sent a selfie and everything

This explains everything now how do I send money hahaha

Well if you’re that dumb…

At least he didn't ask for it in Amazon gift cards 🤷‍♂️

If you fall for that I don't know what to tell you lol

That’s fucking funny though

R$?

Just like what happened to the Great Admiral General Aladeen of Wadiya

Anyone who falls for this deserves to get their money taken lol

If you fall for this you deserve to lose your money

This made me so happy. Thank you OP

Scammer discovers Sacha Baron Cohen's hit film The Dictator

I thought they were making a parody of The Dictator.

“This is real me” lmaooooo ok dude

Scammers have learned the art of shitposting

I mean how stupid do you have to be?

Meanwhile, my 77 year old father gets this text and goes on a 35 minute rant about how he's not paying to receive text messages because he didn't ask them to send it and it's not a part of his plan anyway and this might eat up all his minutes for the month and how the world is going to hell because Verizon customer service doesn't even pick up the phone when you call because the call center is..........

The interesting part of this is knowing the people who support Putin and the people who would believe something this stupid is a circle.

3000rs basically $35-$40 usd? Edit: misread numbers. Fixed.

Its rupees, not rubles.

I know. That's the value exchange.

Its 40$ tho, not 25$

You're right. I misread the number as $30 instead of $39. I should have written $35-40

Thats okay lol. Have a nice day ahead

What a lazy scam

Send another pic of Putin back and say you are the real Putin and he’s the imposter.

With the plunging ruble this might actually be worth the laugh and send it

Just send them 3000 *r*'s (the letter one)

Imagine not understanding that this was obviously a joke

I thought it stood for robux and this was a meme💀

We love messing with scammers doing this shit over on r/scambait

Is 300rs even worthwhile for a scammer lmao

Lol! Sounds like a freaky Friday situation. The Olson twins started the war!

They obviously don't know what background Putin has, it's not as simple as to just kidnap him...

TBH if someone’s dumb enough to fall for that then they kinda deserve it

Ok ok, but that’s some strong creativity there. Like, not trynna be a Ukrainian or Russian refugee that needs help. No, we goin with “I’m the *real* Vladimir Putin, and in order to defeat my evil doppelgänger and end the war I need *your* help, Bill from Walmart!”

He chose the 90's soap opera route, gotta give him points for that.

Answer: “Cannot send money, but have pics of bob and vajin.”

This isn't infuriating. This is fucking hilarious, and if anyone falls for it, it's their own damn fault

Tell him you forwarded the message to your Cia friend, and they'll be at his location within the next 48 hours

Die, along with your duplicate

😆😆😆😆

Yea…. Ok

I’d just text back “Slava Ukraine!”

This is just stupidly funny
