SCAM ALERT

An elderly adult may go up to you and pinch your nose without your consent then claim to have stolen your nose

Do not attempt to pay them to reacquire your nose

They do not have your nose

Their supposed proof is just their thumb in between two of their fingers

Do not engage them
You still have possession of your nose

thanks this ransome nose trick is very widespread and scares a lot of children XD

I'm pretty sure @carmensandiego stole my nose, and it was for real!

My nose is possessed, sure enough, but not by me!

@Ananas @RunawayDanish Have you paid to have your nose returned? You may be entitled to compensation.

@josh @RunawayDanish

IT'S MY NOSE AND I NEED IT NOW!

I didn't know... This whole time.... ​:mikushock4:​

@Ananas ah, a variant on the classic refund scam

parameters unclear... what is a nose?
