I was hoping the scammer would learn how to write a slightly believable scam email from atomic shrimp's format of the award certificate email but alas he did not.
Same. I found this channel the other day and watched all the scambaiting stuff in under a week. I guess it's the mix of the tone, the humour, and the weird tricks the scammers use that keep it both engaging and relaxing
@Marlinchen Considering on one of his videos, he played an actually very convincing old man, needing to go into heart surgery to stall some scammers, thats even MORE plausible.
I love that you went the extra mile and made that laser-cut award. I love how the scammer took your words (well, just the one, really) to heart. I love how they sent the new scam to you, even though they knew you weren’t a good target. Maybe they just want to get your opinion on it. Absolute gold.
I definitely agree, I like his weird stuff in a can series, but especially his scammer video series the most, it's just so amusing to watch how they respond to his messages and overall, I love his content. P. S.: Keep up the good work with the content, Shrimp! :)
OMG...the amount of disrespect stored in that trophy is beyond comprehension. Then you inquired about his bank account information. These are always entertaining, but I had a genuine LOL moment followed by a "DAMN"
Great content! The scammer's last reply got me thinking: How about chain-baiting the same guy, could be fun! * Create some disposable free mail accounts * Contact a scammer * Do your thing, except drop in subtle clues - ask about a weird topic, make the same joke, use a certain expression or speech pattern - you'll figure something out. * After the exchange ends, contact the scammer via different mail and start again * See how long you can get away with it - maybe get an amusing reaction when the scammer realises he's been trolled by the same guy.
"Maybe you are doing something wrong" I literally choked on my food I laughed so hard. Love you man, sorry so many people keep complaining about your excellent varied content so much.
it’s almost as if the enormous size font they’re using is emulating squidward conducting his Bikini Bottom band: “people talk loud when they wanna act smart, right? so if we play loud, people might think we’re good.”
Thanks - I intend to keep on; variety might not be the perfect recipe for instant meteoric success on TH-cam, but I believe it's a more sustainable model for the individual creator (or at least for me). I've seen good content creators focus and narrow down, burn brightly for a while, then burn out. I'm not so much spreading my bet as just doing what I love doing - success will happen, or not, but I'll be enjoying life!
Sir, if you're seriously taking these beautifully crafted whacks at these boneheads, I salute you...and encourage a busy, prosperous future! You might well be saving us all from these idiots.
I checked my spam folder and some 20% of recent emails are obvious scams. My email account is a decade old, so I totally believe you receive so many scam emails. BTW I totally adore your humor, I think you're the funniest scam baiter!
@@AtomicShrimp It's sort of like teaching a preschooler who is making a necklace the definition of gold. If all they've got to work with is macaroni and string and plastic they aren't going to be producing any gold.
Before I blocked him, I used to get an obscene amount of spam from my grandfather in the genre of Cute Animals Every Day. They had this scammy internet look to them and my suspicion is that there are websites out there that operate under the pretense of "send adorable otters to your loved ones every day to cheer them up in these trying times!" when in reality, they just sell the emails of the grandparents, the loved ones, and whoever forwards the emails that go out. So... thanks grampa for getting me on fifty republican mailing lists?
Yeah, I think a lot of the 'send this to all of your friends' spam chain letters of the early internet might have been started by people who just wanted to harvest addresses when it eventually found its way back to them
I want to be like you. Not the scam baiting necessarily; I like the mushroom hunting videos too, but it takes balls to engage scammers. They have every incentive to want revenge or to take out petty frustrations on a specific person. Kudos to you for being willing to take that risk. Keep on uploading; not just these scam related videos, but also the ones that show how you're a normal person doing normal things.
He opens the can and it's just a tiny, crying scammer in the tin with a look of horror on his face as Atomic uses the very same spoon he made into a reward to empty the can.
You are the single most good-willed person I´ve ever heard! Just know that all your effort and your kindness towards strangers (except scammers ;D) are highly appreciated. :) I hope you are having a decent time! P.S. I´m the biggest fan of your righteous indignation!! :D
"This scam session was boring" I can't believe you lied to me like this, this is literally one of your funniest scam videos ever. In fact, I laughed so hard, my parents woke up. This video made me finally decide to subscribe to your channel.
you said in the beginning that this was a boring episode but like. ive come back to watch this episode multiple times and the way the scammer talks makes me chuckle every time lol
And here I thought the Least Credible Scammer of 2019 couldn't get any less credible. Well done, whoever you really are. You're defending your title admirably.
I came across a new scam that I never knew about before. Very odd and sneaky yet it makes sense. On LinkedIn, I received a message from someone who claimed that they wanted me to be a speaker at their "Business Management 2019" conference. I immediately knew this was a scam because I'm probably the least qualified person to give a presentation at any sort of conference (though, maybe slightly more qualified than those who fall for this scam). Either way, I looked it up out of curiosity before reporting the account and realized that it's a common scam to invite vulnerable and naive people to these conferences to give a talk with the hope of expanding business by socializing. Maybe these unsuspecting victims make a few friends at these "conferences" but it's almost guaranteed not to be worth the time, money or effort that it costs the victims of these scams. The first red flag I read about was that these conferences usually have very generic names, which I found pretty funny after reading "Business Management 2019" 😂
I don't think it was dull at all...but then with your wonderful narrative voice I think anything would be fun to listen to...great job! Thank you for sharing...
Do You know the character from league of legends called rammus ? He is a bit of a meme because of the voice acting. He says "OK" in a very deep low pitch voice and every time i see you reply "OK" I can't help but hearing it
