If someone has tried to impersonate you on social media, you know how totally aggravating it can be. It also feels pretty darn violating when someone steals your photo and uses it on a fake profile with the sole intention of scamming your friends and family. Seriously, who in the heck has time for all that business anyway?
When someone decided to clone Facebook user Jeremy Roberts' mom on Facebook and tried to get her friends to send some gift cards, her son trolled that troll in the funniest way we have ever seen. We laughed, we cried from laughing, we lost our breath from laughing, we might have wet our pants from laughing, and we sent his Facebook post to every person we could think of. When we tell you this is a must-read, we are not kidding around.

This man was all in from the very beginning.
Jeremy Roberts shared on Facebook on November 4, that his mom, Tami Roberts, had posted that someone made a fake profile with her image. "When your real mom posts on Facebook saying that there's a fake Facebook account pretending to be her, what do you do? You add your fake mom as a friend, cast your brother in the role of Doug, and take your fake mom on a 'choose-your-own-adventure.' Enjoy," he wrote.
Jeremy shared 21 screenshots of his conversation with "Tami" and her unwavering desire to get a few gift cards. In the exchange, Jeremy assured Tami he would take care of her but not before he helped a priest exorcise a demon from his brother, Doug. The post has been shared more than 40,000 times, and people are dying.
From the get-go, we were already laughing.
Tami needed that gift card, and she needed it badly.
Jeremy reached out to Tami about her new profile, and she immediately asked him to help. Although he was willing, Jeremy explained to Tami that he and his brother, Doug, were meeting with a priest to perform an exorcism because he thought Doug had a demon, but it might also just be a gastrointestinal problem, so he was running into the store.
"Tami! Doug is in the middle of a demon possession. Could you possibly give me 5 MINUTES TO GET SOME PEPTO!!!" he wrote.
Tami assured Jeremy it's OK and asked him to get her an Apple gift card while he is in the store. Jeremy agreed but only after he got the medicine for Doug, and he started asking Tami all kinds of questions about what medication to get. She answered his questions in a pretty helpful way while dropping hints to Jeremy that the gift card was imperative.
Yep, this made us laugh really hard.
Jeremy told Tami he had the card but there was an issue.
He texted, "Just got a call from the priest. It's a confirmed demon. Tami, can you message me a prayer? I'm scared."
She replied, "Nothing is going to happen don't be scared OK. Just calm."
Jeremy asked her to send him a prayer, and she responded, "Any demon that's disturbing Doug shall be conquered in Jesus name."
In between prayers, Tami again asked about the card. Jeremy assured her he had the card but then shared that he ran into a snag at the exorcism.
"Tami, I'm so sorry, I didn't have any cash to pay the priest, so I gave him the eBay card. He didn't take Visa. Is there another way I can help?" he wrote.
That's when we lost all control and could no longer control ourselves.
Tami needed that card 'urgently.'
This lady wasn't backing down, but neither was Jeremy. He went head-to-head with the scammer, continuing with Doug's demon, while Tami feigned concern for the possessed brother but would not give up on that card. She wanted photographic receipts to make sure Jeremy wasn't fooling around.
Per her request, he continued to provide Tami with all the photographic evidence she wanted as Doug spiraled out of control.

In a terrifying twist, a possessed Doug escaped from the Walmart parking lot.
You guessed it: All hell broke loose. Per the message exchange, Jeremy frantically searched for Doug while Tami continued to badger him about the card while also becoming strangely invested in finding Doug. She continued to assure Jeremy everything was probably OK and that it was not a real demon.
"But what if it is? I don't think I have the faith to battle this alone," Jeremy texted.
"Just believe in God everything will be OK. Please just help me to send the card I need it now. We will find Doug," the scammer replied.
"Tami, I'm beginning to think you just care about the card and not Doug," he wrote.
And yet, Tami kept going, writing, "No I don't care about the card I care about Doug."
Tami sure wanted Jeremy to believe she cared about Doug. Jeremy started sending photos from a high school basketball game asking Tami to help him find Doug in a crowd, and she actually circled someone in the stands and claimed she had found him.
Friends, we aren't going to ruin this. You must read the entire post for yourself. But put on some Depends and grab a few tissues to wipe up your mascara. Please don't say we didn't warn you. The laughter will be the best ab workout you've had in years.
Jeremy, we literally could not breathe. And we have told everyone about this epic adventure. If there is a trophy for the most incredible troll of all time, sir, it has your name all over it. And please, let Doug know he's in our prayers.
