DON'T Just Say OK To Scammers (Long Rambling Conversations Also Work)

  • I won't pretend this video is short, informative or even particularly funny - this is just what happens if you try to cultivate a long and hopefully frustrating conversation with am advance fee scammer.
    It's 20 minutes long. Don't waste that much of your life and then blame it on me.

    In this video, we will also discover what happens if you try to change the rules., such as telling the scammer to deduct the advance fee from the award amount (spoiler: it doesn't succeed, obviously)
    I've been scambaiting since 2004 - and some of my previous efforts have been more elaborate than this one (here's my very first if you want to read it: forum.419eater.com/forum/view... )
    As I have mentioned in the video, some people compared my previous (Just say OK to scammers) video to the work of James Veitch. I'm not by any means trying to compete with his quite admirable and finely crafted scambaiting. If you're scratching your head wondering who he is, here is a link you might enjoy:
