Did anyone notice the scammer with the subject line "Are you still alive?" was Godwin from the endurance scambaiting video?
Godwin Emefiele is actually the real name of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria - scammers frequently pretend to be him
@@AtomicShrimp Wow! I didn't know that. Also wow, I didn't expect to be pinned! It truly is an honor!
Lol
Was going to mention dr Godwin
I was going to mention him too, same first and last name! I wasn’t aware that was the name of the actual governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

This is how I feel studying for my exams right now
are the exams glarded?
@@loveparade6573 LOL
There are 4 of them remember
@@loveparade6573 I can confirm that the exams were indeed glarded, therefore not within a tax clode.
@@botagasss how can you be sure? couldn't the exams remain glarded while in a tax clode using an inoppolity certificate?
Just so you know, you can accept glarded funds even if you're in a tax clode. You just need to fill out a D2 Anti-Cascalation Form and have it grendified by a snarph referee.
I think my cousin did that, and was never the same again, camglewise.
That is true in the UK, but it should be noted that you can't receive glarded funds in a tax clode in most other European countries due to the Mordariven Fund Abixiration Act (MFAA) and you are unable to even send out glarded funds from some US states due to outdated assiluation laws back from the Sonunsinn era. There are ways to get your funds unglarded through vanlan papers, but the fee, while varying from nation to nation, is usually higher than the fund is question in worth.
I made this joke as well lol
@@cascamidland Of course, there are also ways to get your funds unglarded ospiciously, but all of those ways are illegal.
I thought D2s were Nanged by the Department of Jabberwockery
I would buy a "Are the funds glarded?" t-shirt.
I prefer ‘That’s my butter! Deal with it!’
I prefer "You silly old sausage"
There can be more than one T-shirt...
"Osmium Fill" would be my pick
Yus
I was really hoping at least one of those scammers would go far enough to forge an "inoppolity certificate."
28:54, perhaps?
BUT NAME OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INOPPOLITY DOES NOT CORRECT WORDS SPELLING.
PLEASE USE PROPER WORD AND GRAMMAR'S TO TALK WITH US BANK LIKE SERIOUS BUSSINESSMEN ,OR ARE YOU ONLY A SMALL BOY??
@@atomicdancer I cannot understand how you, an employee of a bank, are not familiar with inoppolity certification. Are you perhaps new at your job?
I was hoping that he would supply them with one, and that they may send it to others they are trying to scam.
@@atomicdancerooooooo
Regarding the "are you still alive" Email: Wouldn't it be glorious to start out with saying that you are the recently bereaved widow of the account owner and then slowly unfold the story that your husband was a wealthy engineer who died in a plane crash, that you yourself suffer from terminal cancer and that you are looking for a volunteer who would accept your vast fortune under the condition that they donate 50% of it. Of course you should not demand a fee (you're not a scammer), but 'm sure you could come up with all sorts of ridiculous hoops that they have to jump through.
I could imagine that the idea of a greeving ill widow with plenty of money would really trigger their greed and you can then slowly turn the story into the usual scam scenario without them noticing.
i love how you thought this through
This is genius
PLEASE
Asking the scammer to stop sending emails to your spam folder is probably one of your best tricks yet haha
its you! i'm subbed!
Ooh wow yeah interesting 🤔😚glarded

"You know, the kind of information that you should never share with a stranger on the internet"
I've heard it in every single one of his scambating videos, and it still never fails to get a chuckle out of me.
Same, I really get a warm feeling, I wait for it.
Unless the information has been properly glarded.
I counted 7 times in this video.
I could be wrong, as I have trouble counting sometimes.
Only Mike could have a recognizable catchphrase that’s actual advice!
I love how this happens with every scammer
“Have the funds need glarded?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“I need to know.”
“You need to know what?”
“I need to know if the funds have been glarded.”
I'm sort of recalling and replaying every frustating conversation I had with customers when I was in customer facing roles:
Customer: the computer it's urgent, can you do anything?
Me: Sorry, I didn't hear you properly, please could y...
Customer: The computer
Me: I didn't hear the firs...
Customer: It's urgent!
Me: I understand that part, but could y...

The true question is though; have the fund truly been glarded?

When were you when certificate of inoppolity dies
Hello Hoaks
I was in a tax clode fixing a glarding issue when phone ring
Ffs my Tax Clode lapsed. Upon transfer of the certificate of inoppolity between the glarding accountant and the official Bank of United State, there were several major delays. If the funds weren't glarded, we would have needed 3 certificates of oppolity stamped approval from 7 of the members of the UN, and the CEO of Stark Industries.
@@sciblastofficial9833 "certificate of inoppolity is kil"
"no"
Honestly, good riddance, it was my neighbors and they moved away. 😦
Well, maybe I miss it now.
I love when you bring out the "small boy" suggestion. I feel like it really grinds the scammers gears.
i completely agree! with how the usual scammer writes it seems like small boy would be very upsetting to them haha!
Its a cultural thing.
Are you perhaps a small boy
@@jellomaster5629 YOU ARE NOT SERIOUS.
No! I'm a big boy!
I love how the nonsense _almost_ makes sense, so that everyone with more than elementary school understanding of english can at least attribute some meaning to them.
Hence, the poetricallity of it all.
Its a nice mix of things that sound like obscure old Germanic words or obscure new technical latinate words. 'glarded' and 'innopolity' are hilarious
Your picture is creepy.
Tell me all about it. That ... thing is sitting right next to me, staring at me day in day out. And I'm afraid that if I as much as think badly about it, it'll flat-out ki
@@alameachan kiru?!?
those nonsense words remind me so much of the “what english sounds like to non english speakers” video and it’s messing with my brain lol
I imberlished from laughing the first time I watched this, these nonsense words are miricully ridiculous

you should look up a video on youtube named "English Sports"
Oh, their raisin mamon mashmarine?
"Glarded" is in the Urban Dictionary now. "Glarded funds may not be transferred into an account which is in a tax clode without an inoppolity certificate."
This is hilarious
I know it's been going on for a while, but I really appreciate that he picked up "are you a small boy? as a dismissive insult and it always seems to accelerate the bait.
I did not know about the Google "Did you mean John Warosa" thing, that is pretty damn amazing.
I smiled so hard I nearly broke my head
@@AtomicShrimp Also, worryingly unprofessional that these bank staff dont know what Glarded means
Sadly, Google doesn't give me that reply on it. I'm thrilled that it happened though.
@@jeffroitero4266 I just tried and it did for me! Maybe your device is glarded :/
@@jeffroitero4266 did you fill out and submit the certificate of inoppolity, by chance?
I like the idea that this character you pretend to be in your emails is completely vulnerable to all of these scams, but is so difficult to work with that he's never actually been scammed. :p
Here's a fun idea: the scammers are obviously googling these terms, so you can really mess with them by putting fake articles in place.
You could put threatening "ads" in the sidebar. You could also auto-generate a huge chunk of text for them to read through, and delight in them copying it back to you.
And if you control the Web server, you might be able to get their IP address.

I knew a guy once who tried to use big words to show off his vocabulary, and this is exactly what he sounded like.
Did they pronounce words like "when" as "wHen" or "cool wHip"? Eg "Hwen" and "Cool Hwip", Like Stewie Griffen pronounces it all in Family Guy? Really pretentious people love that kind of thing and it's always amusing.
"Wheelbarrow" is a nice long word which I often throw into the conversation to impress people.
:)
What a sesquipedalian!
@@Cthulhus_Mum my favorite long word starts with 'f' and ends in 'uck'... I do love me a firetruck
Splenderific.
It's fun to think somewhere in Nigeria these scammers are asking their friends "should I say the money is glarded or not?"
😂

The holity address explanation has the same energy as the scene from Rick and Morty where they show how to make a Plumbus, and I absolutely love it.
"All you have to do... is everything we ask you to do" ....
My brother had a discrete mathematics teacher that regularly gave questions that use totally nonsensical words like this, but the best part about it is that they don't need to have any meaning, the questions are still mathematically perfectly valid.

There’s a discord bot that submits random polls daily to a server it’s in. Today’s poll asked what “fake word is most believable; Glarded, Innopolity, Blusion, or Dergent?”
I like how the scammer at 28:06 highlighted the certificate of inoppolity in red text as though it was a key item.
I mean, it technically *is* a key item.
\*Zelda "item get" sound* You got the CERTIFICATE OF INOPPOLITY!
I was having really bad nightmares one night so I put on an Atomic Shrimp playlist so I could stop having them. It worked! Atomic Shrimp's voice helps to glard against sleep paralysis and waking nightmares. I can totally recommend it.

These people are unbelievable! I can't imagine anyone serious would act so callously with glarded funds. The Office of Vetingics is very aggressive and you definitely don't want to mess with them. The masquishing power is extremely broad.
No-one expects a masquishing.
It's no joke! They'll show up right at your holity address with a spenchessist if your tax clode gets ounded!
Happened to me once. I was exponed inside a glode.
In fact, they're so aggressive that even righteous indignation doesn't stop them!
no joke, i once forgot that the funds i had transferred werent glarded, amd the office of ventigics sent an inspiggle to my spogglitar address

Replying "no" to their "are you alive" question just gets you the standard wall of text response for the next stage of their scam. From the responses I've received it seems like they don't read it, they just check to see if you reply. It's funnier if you pretend as if you've faked your demise and grill them on how they managed to contact you on a supposedly deceased person's account
This video is mouncowheably, hands down, the most calmudent piece of splativent entertainment I’ve had the pleasure of watching in quite some time! You had me in complete salvaggles.
I love the consistency surrounding the "glarded" funds requiring a certificate of "inoppolity" due to the "tax clode." Even though all of those things are made up you used the words in the same way through the whole video and now I'm half convinced they are actually real things lol
"Walter Fuchs"
Fuchs is german for fox and the unintended irony of him trying to be a sly fox isnt lost on me
Like Mr. Shrimp said though, not all scammers are as atrociously ineffective or act like small boys like the ones in this series. There are scammers out there who can be and are a lot more nasty.
I also love how "Walter Fuchs" is such an obviously German name (at least to me, a German myself) , from a probably Indian scanner pretending to be American. Why would they choose a german name???
@@luka_8 Because they're a small boy.
@@luka_8 I must say, this "Walter Fuchs" is also the first scammer I've seen pretend to be a German.

When I was scammed they threatened to 'come collect the money in person'. Not necessarily violent and I knew they weren't actually going to turn up, but it was still scary. Luckily I lived in student accommodation with security guards who were very understanding and one stood outside my block of flats all night of the night they said they were gonna turn up. I really do feel bad for most people that won't have that kind of protection :(
I am glad you always specify to never share certain information, it is a noble deed
Maybe you could explain to them after lots of back and forth what the word means, and make it something that would actually be very "useful" in their vocabulary
For example, glarded could mean that the money is "checked and legitimate" or something
Oh, I like that idea a lot
That wouldn't make sense though: the context in this video makes it clear that being glarded makes the funds MORE difficult to transfer, which wouldn't fit with being "checked and legitimate." We have STANDARDS for our nonsense words, don't we?
The language and explanations you give make me think Lewis Carroll would be proud
It gave me a hearty chortle.
Personally it gave off a more Dr. Seuss vibe
It merrises me
The way he phratizes his written flora-that is, with a bold, hearty accuour that stipulates the cluses in each sentence, has an old fashioned galizing feel that seems lost to time.
@@nplt8263 Dr Seuss uses real words though right? Carroll would frequently just make up nonsense
i swear the word "glarded" will eventually become a word
edit: there's a definition for it in urban dictionary if that means anything, ofc it only mentions how its a nonsense word made up by atomic shrimp

I love how for the most part you seem to be using the nonsense words in consistent ways - slowly worldbuilding bizarre yet plausible new rules for an alternate universe.
That's gotta be the first time i've seen a scammer give up without ghosting the conversation or being outright called out as a scammer. Amazing!
"A lovely chaotic pudding of a document..." caused me to cackle so loudly that my partner came in from another room to check if I was alright. This video is glardingly perfect.

I like that at the phase where the scammer requests personal info you always say "You know, the sort of information you should never share with a stranger on the internet". You're doing your job of informing and raising awareness of these scams at every point, especially with your new short videos about scams that explain the spiele of it in 60 secs.
I still think the weirdest thing about these is the scammers always calling you "dear". I assume it's supposed to sound familiar or disarming, but it's just... creepy.
translation thing probably.
@@silvaskiproductions3937 I was thinking the same thing, and wondering what the word in their native language is and what a more nuanced or correct translation might be. Either that or it is pretty comparable but culturally not as odd to use to strangers.
Each and everything, Madam.
@@lawrencescales9864 In the American South, it's not uncommon for total strangers to call younger people "honey" or "baby." It's just a term of endearment, and doesn't seem creepy - most of the time.
"Let me show you it's features", lovely little reference to Joerg Sprave. I'd say this is one of your best scam bait videos to date.
Thank you for including the "the kind of information you should never share" bit in every video. Never know who is going to watch one of these for the first time, and everyone needs to hear that.
20:37 you said absolutely NOTHING coherent beforehand and the scammer jus defaulted to like “listen , I don’t want your money” fuckign hilarious lmfao
Totally random but your calm voice just helped me with feeling better. My car is in the shop and groceries are low so I've been eating way too much fast food, lol. Began to have severe stomach cramps and felt sick this evening. But during the worst of it, I had clicked on this video and just listening to you made it easier to distract myself from my nausea. I managed to fall asleep right after and feel much better now here in the very early AM. Hate to hound the mechanic, but I really want to buy groceries more than ever now so I can do my own cooking and will be contacting them yet again tomorrow (they've had the car several days already). But here in the moment, thanks for all you do and thanks for unknowingly helping to make me feel better, lol.
I love how you keep coming back to the "small boy" phrase
Absolutely fantastic - confusing people with nonsense is one of my favorite types of humor.
That said, a challenge I love to give myself is to use only real words in ways that technically make grammatical sense, to sow as much confusion and chaos as possible. For example, using the word 'secular' in the context of comparing the paradigms used by various programming languages.
It's fun to use technical terms that seem like they might mean something more generally (and thus potentially usable in other contexts than they're intended to be used), to try to trip people up into either admitting they don't know what you mean, or saving face and making wild guesses in an attempt to not look foolish (that ultimately results in them looking foolish).
After all, the inverted emailer outright told you that they thought you must be spelling the word 'Glarded' wrong. If your goal is to waste their time, well.. You got them to look up the word 'glarded', and then they quickly saw it wasn't a real word and got back to you saying as such. If you want to TRULY waste their time, give them a real word that sounds like it might make sense when it actually doesn't. This leads to them not just taking you more seriously (less likely to cut communication), but it also leads to them actually trying to look up multiple definitions of the word and spending extra time trying to see if they understand what you're saying or not.
That said, I absolutely LOVE that you were very consistent with what the fake words 'meant'. You gave consistent and logical (albeit ultimately meaningless) responses to questions about it, and kept with the same definitions throughout.
Using real words like I just outlined might be more challenging and in some ways more rewarding, but it's a shame that it does tend to remove some of the fun of coming up with a logical definition and watching them bumble through it and fail miserably. After all, they can look up real words and make some reasonable guesses about what you might be pretending to mean, or at least the direction you're wanting to go with the word.
With a fake word, you can, for example, make it sound like a bad thing until you explain further, then making it 'clearer' that NOT having it is a bad thing. Thus you can trick them into assuring you that the 'bad thing' isn't the case, just for you to lament that you were afraid of that - and that's exactly the sort of thing you did here, which is marvelous. I was surprised by how many of them fell right into saying that yes it was glarded!
ah, the random word generator! I used that website quite a bit back in the day (1999-ish) when i wrote fiction.
and that was also the time when i composed a lot of music and liked to put made-up words in my english lyrics because they sounded cool. (english is not my first language). sathoty, pericly, harrodness.. those are the ones i remember
I do love how you keep the definitions of each word consistent between scammers
This was great, especially the ending. Their desperation oozed out of the "certificate" they sent. No doubt they were holding their breath, hoping that you'd write back, say that that was exactly the document you needed, and then send the "fee". LOL.
We need to make a wiki page with context and explanation for these nonsense words - if enough of us use them the scammers may just copy them. That could be a useful way to flag scammers.
ETA: As I hit enter on this comment I got to the bit of the video explaining just this.
Glad I found your post before I jumped in and suggested exactly the same thing. This whole thing was just superb, I hope the enphazement of future cominergents is fully disbiguated in just such a manner.
uh... uh... might as well try despite knowing next to nothing about how economy things work
Tax Clode: Failure to pay taxes, with some negotiation from a law firm, can result in you being put into a Tax Clode instead of worse effects, where all objects you purchase regardless of state laws carry a special tax, which goes to pay off your debts. In some scenarios, you may be given an allowance of Glarded money, money that doesn't apply this special tax, to help pay for essentials.
Glarded/Glarding: Glarded money, as previously mentioned, is a type of money that ignores Tax Clodes. A person sending a gift to a person under a Tax Clode would need to request to have their money Glarded, allowing them to give the money to the person under the Tax Clode. half of the money sent to be Glarded is removed, contributing to removing the person's debt.
This is honestly my favorite one of this series. Language is truly delightful.
Im rolling on the floor right now omg
The deadpan dellivery of this utter nonsense just gets to me every time
Good lord
What's funny is, when you said that thing about people searching for ''glarding'' i searched it up for the fun of it.... and found its actually a post now on Urban Dictionary LOL 😆 Great Job Atomic Shrimp! also, ❤loved the video!
As a barristone, I am here to confirm that it is only after brilig in the slithy toves, with gyre and gimbal in the wabe, that the momraths out grabe.
Since all glarded funds must first be grabe, you’ll have to make sure your borogroves are all mimsy. Only then can the clode include funds that can truly be said to have been glarded.
All my funds are glarded.
Do you have a certificate of inoppolity?
I love the nonsense words! True poetry.
If you keep on like this, 'glarded' will become an actual word like the Simpsons and 'cromulent.'
You mean kind of like this: www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=glarded
I feel like "We're going to send you the documents after you paid the fee." is the scammers version of "Please deduct the fee from the funds."
My god, that John barosa google search makes me absurdly happy as well!
A little nonsense now and then perfectly describes this channel and I love it!
The slightly snarky undertone in the narration is just perfect.
Atomic, Jim browning, kit Boga and mark rober upload so close together this is amazing
Our greatest heros bringing joy to every watcher. Am sending 5 6 million dollars and yes they are completely glarded so no worries. :)
Dude idk if it’s your relaxed but dry humor but I listen to these o again and again periodically.
Glarded is now in the urban dictionnary with some other words of your video. Well played community!
It's so hard to glard the account because of the seismic connections....but you in the right here, no one is too safe these days.
Mate, the scam and the can food videos are my favourite!
I love it so much when you read the words as written. Ex: kwee-astion.
lmaooo this one is one of the funniest. i’ve watched almost all your scambaiting videos like this but somehow missed this one, easily one of my favorites hahahaha it’s actually hilarious how casual you read your nonsensical sentences, they actually sound like english words lol
I love how you keep coming up with new ways to mess with scammers. I actually thought of something that could be fun if you or someone you know had the technical know how to pull it off:
It's an automated version of your scammer community. A bot with an email account and a list of email addresses, and when it gets an email it automatically sends an identical copy of the email to everyone on its list (excluding the sender if they're on the list). Then all you have to do is sit back and watch. Any scammer that responds to it will have their email broadcast to the whole list, and any angry replies will be sent back to them (and everyone else).
This is basically how you take down some email systems if they're large enough.
I have to know has the video be Glarded? Can't watch it otherwise! Great video 👍👍
Even I, an English speaker from birth, am feeling like it's somehow my mistake for not understanding these sentences you give to the scammers. They really do seem like actual words we would say xD
"Glarded" make's me envision gold bars being painted with wood glaze.
Nice pfp, Pokémon is cool
@@BenoHourglass ahh so glarding is the opposite of gilding
They are perfectly cromulent words
@@c_n_b i agree, there’s nothing unantiquaint about them
"Did you mean John Warosa?" My sides!!! Hahahhaha
Half an hour straight of asking whether the funds were glarded. I thought at least *one* of these people would be an official. I mean, not a single one even knew about a tax clode. Even *I* know about a tax clode.
Brilliant, the nonsense words on this just pushed it to new levels of enjoyment! Thank you for your efforts good sir!
Please please do audio books, if for no one else just me. Your voice is exactly the voice of audio books from my childhood. So soothing! Perhaps you can make a separate channel for audio books?
