Sign them off with "Sinisterly," instead of "Sincerely," and if someone asks whether you actually meant the latter and just made a mistake make sure to let them know it wasn't a mistake
I keep getting those sextortion scams, threatening to release videos of me 'enjoying adult content' to everyone I know if I don't pay. Never paid them and my husband never received the videos of me. He was very much looking forward to receiving and is now very disappointed.
By 'adult content', do you mean you exhausted at the end of a 60 hr work week, opening a bottle of red, opening letters of overdue bills that need to be paid? 😂
I'm picturing those letter spaghettis with a bunch of vegetables mixed in. You know like some weird experiment to try and force a kid to eat their vegetables. So sounds weirdly gross 😂
I just discovered that there is something deeply satisfying about correctly guessing the point where the "Are you a small boy" question, which in itself is very satisfying to hear, is uttered.
Exactly. Let's say you had done rude stuff on there. Ok? Having rude pics isn't itself a crime. Porn isn't defined as rude pictures, the definition is a low narrower then people think. So intermite pics that are consensual between your partner yourself are fine... But hacking and obtaining private data is a very serious crime
@@Stettafire to be fair there are some areas of the world like india where pornographic content is illegal, i wonder if those countries are the main target of the scams?
Not this scam but some scams Ive seen do hope to catch someone who is feeling guilty about the ‘content’ they watch. The victims are more likely to panic, not think critically, be more motivated to get rid of the threat etc
@@pilotwhaleproductions5880Especially if what they were watching was illegal in the first place, but being honest those people probably deserve to get scammed.
I was watching someones video about video game reviews, and in it they had a clip of the first Zelda game where they named their character "Warosa" so I asked if it was a reference to Atomic Shrimp, and they said yes. So now you are an easter egg in another video.
"You promised you attached your I'd card, but you appear to have attached your I didn't card." I do find your stuff funny, but that got a real out-loud laugh out of me.
I like Shrimp's other stuff. Hell, he got me interested in gardening. But still, his scambaiting stuff is that perfect mix of comedy and commentary. The kind of stuff you can send to an older relative to explain how a scam works and how to avoid it
*This* kind of browsing is my cup of tea. Someone with access to my webcam will see me enduring enormous pleasure drinking a cup of tea and listening to Mr Shrimp. The shame.
I've been cleaning out some boxes of old stuff moved from my parents' home. Today in one box I found an old original spam. Yes, that's right, a chain letter, addressed by hand, requesting the recipient forward a dollar to each of the four (or five?) people on the list below, whose names and addresses were included. Why this piece of mail was saved I have no idea, but I laughed and said "an original spam!"
My Mum used to keep every letter... Including all the leaflets and junk etc. It was only a few years ago she had a proper sort out "it's all digital now". Only keeping important stuff like utility bills from the past 3 years, bank statements etc. In the olden days I think more people kept all their post
I have a classic letter in my hoard-room too. It was addressed to my father almost 40 years ago. It's hand-written and postage paid. It asks him to allow the use his bank account to receive funds from a certain country where a prince is escaping and will pay a percentage of the money funnelled into dad's account in the amount of $3 million of the 300 being secreted from N***ria. (I find comments go missing when I'm specific - it's a yt-bot thing). I'd just learned about 419 scams (called "The N***rian Letter" back then) in a Toronto newspaper and was excited to see the real thing, so I kept it.
I love the emails which claim they've watched me on my webcam as none of my computers (which they specifically mention, not a smartphone or tablet) have webcams!
If they wana watch me watch adult content good on them but I have no friends and don’t talk with my family so they can’t black mail me it would be for their own entertainment. I really don’t think they wana see that
My company got a sextortion email sent to our support ticket email one time. We all had a good laugh cause it got automatically forwarded to the whole department
I worked somewhere years ago when scammers pretended to be from a tax office calling people demanding money. However the scammers were calling actually people who worked in a tax office.
I had a scam mail telling me that they'd filmed me whilst enjoying some adult activity online. Joke's on them - I've taped a penny over my inbuilt webcam. And even if they did film me through the screen somehow (lol) all they'd get is footage of me screaming at estate agent listings for lies upon lies and discrimination. 😅
I'm so glad you mentioned the thought that you're more likely to get scam fake parcel texts around the same time you're expecting a delivery. I've been saying it for years. My main theory is some workers trying to make some extra cash on the side, as often the contact phone number is just printed on the boxes, but hey ho, that's pure speculation.
i can say that the shipping DB has lower security safety measures than say the transactional and account DB's (which have the highest)..the reason for this is due to it needs to be shared with sometimes hundreds of shipping and logistic companies world wide...so the shipping companies can update the status on your shipment.. i am not allowed to confirm or deny your theory i am a Database Developer/DBA for large corporations...
@@MickeyMousePark I get them randomly as well, even though I make an online purchase maybe once a year. I think partly these security issues, and partly luck/the numbers game. They send out enough of them and it's going to coincide with someone who is genuinely expecting a parcel.
Mr Atomic Shrimp, I don't know what it is, but you have an uncanny knack for dropping a video when I need it the most. Be it a cooking video, a scambaiting video or a video about your travels, It brings me joy to get to watch. A very welcome distraction from my 9-5 job. Thank you!
Since watching your videos about not clicking links in emails, I'm pleased to say its been a lifesaver in my experience. I'm extra diligent and cautious even if an email sender is genuine. I normally got to the website of e.g. Amazon or Paypal directly rather than clicking the links.
I'm crying. this is comedy gold in a trunk disguised as conspicuous gold bars. maybe I'm just in a good mood now that the official part of today is over, but this was phenomenal at exactly the right time.
I love the sense of humor in your replies, it's just the right mixture of subtle and absurd. Also I fear that "you are nor read?" will become a new common phrase in my vocabulary.
I got one of those dirty extortion mails once where they said they hacked into my webcam and recorded me doing the deed. I don't even have a webcam on on any of my devices.
I've noticed the sextortion emails I get have stopped including my compromised passwords. So I guess they're getting lazier. Hearing you read that naughty email in your normal voice is weirdly entertaining. I reckon hearing you read erotic novels in your neutral scambait voice would be hilarious, I can't explain it.
I get a lot of scam emails as one of my emails is like 15 years old, but I have never seen a sextortion email before. Mostly fake gambling and fake adult websites
Great stuff. Along with many here, I also got the sextortion one a couple of weeks back. Had they actually filmed me, the dirtiest footage they would have is me scowling at the screen while writing a 'Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells' email to Morrisons to complain about the state of their Toilets.
If your door isn't raised by a foot or so overnight, then the door-raising magic that preps you for delivery of the doorstep may have gotten lost in postage somewhere. If one's local shops were quite a long way away, then I just imagine them living at the top of a hill with no neighbours for miles. As ever, a great video!
I'm amazed to see almost the exact email I got earlier this week here! The sextortion one, that is, and someone else told me they got one today, so it's definitely making the rounds. Thanks for helping me spot illegitimate threats in my email, Mr. Shrimp! I deleted it after half a second of thought!
Gods, that Sextortion Scam. I had a version of it once, around 2018-ish, that was, hands down, one of the funniest emails I have ever read. Basically, it read like someone had taken that standard template and google translated it through multiple languages. It was truly a thing of beauty.
Notable mention: Sometimes you get an e-mail from a website which you are anticipating an e-mail, that tells you to "click the link now". If it so unfortunately happens that you're expecting a temporary link, just keep in mind that genuine businesses won't often tell you to do that, rather they'd label it as "temporary e-mail link for password reset" or "temporary link to sign up page" or "request to change password" etc.... Based on what you were actually doing/requesting.
8:38 funnily enough, I noticed my email started getting a sudden wave of scam and spam mail right around the time I started working for Amazon a couple years ago, coincidentally right after I used it to register on their employee app. Not implying anything - of course.
I keep getting scam emails about getting a pharmacy refill subscription. I've had the similar email several times in the last month. Disgusting people.
Hey shrimp, I dont usually comment on these videos but have been watching you for a long time. Just wanted to say thank you for spreading the awareness for these types of internet scams to both myself and everyone else watching across the web. Please never stop doing this. You are doing an amazing thing here and have helped so many people. Much love
some of your freshest and most refreshing cuts of scambaiting it's like they were only baked this morning (that bit about the tractors is gonna stick with me forever)
I got a parcel scam text yesterday claiming to be USPS. No artificial urgency but funky link. I think the worst I've experienced is when we tried to book a hotel online via a popular booking site and had someone call within a few minutes claiming to be the hotel trying to verify info.
LOL you make my day! I come to your chanel for the entertaining Scambating. Your dry humour makes me chuckle; helps me make my day better! You just keep taking things out of context okay lol
Your giggle after the scammers thought you are " a gentle person who doesn't talk much" and you asking " Did your big letter latch get stuck" made me LoL! Replayed several times! Brilliant, Mr. Shrimp!
I was relatively close to falling for the parcel scam once! It was probably the first time I got one of those messages, I was expecting an international parcel and it told me to pay up customs charges to avoid extra fees, the amount requested was about what I could expect for the parcel's customs charges, and yes you can actually pay up online and avoid extra fees with that courier. I think I got as far as to open the link, but I saw the address was not the real one so I never entered any data. I'd say I'm relatively tech-savvy and I have never got scammed so it's scary to think how close they got. No wonder they can catch some less aware people with that.
That form that appears to be live - I have watched a programmer using python script to inundate that form with fake numbers of credit cards. He said that for every failed transaction the scammer was charged some money, so over a couple hours he lost thousands. It was hillarious!
Thanks to a previous video you made on parcel delivery scams, I narrowly avoided clicking the link in the SMS. I was expecting a package through that exact delivery service that day so I was about to click it. Thankfully it rung a bell in my mind about your video on these scams
That “Congratulations” to kick off the sextortion video was quite polite and friendly. He even suggests some security tips at the end! There to screw you over and then fix you back up. A great friend!
Oh great now I can literally be Mr Barister John Barosa with this xD I wonder if you ever thought of making an animated series of him. It would be cool if we had that spice of humor as a scheduled series xD
As much as I absolutely LOVE your cooking, foraging, road trip and plant id videos, I enthusiastically look forward to your scambaiting videos. The way in which you annoy these people is pure gold. LOL
When you see how sloppy the scammers are on social catfish romance scams it's as if they go into cognitive dissonance mode and under their spell. Thanks for continuing to entertain us with this videos, Shrimp!
I got one of these adult websites spam mails a while back and it showed me the first part of my email address and my password, one that I hadnt used in years. And they claimed they had recordings of me doing the thing while I dont have a webcam 😅
I am SO happy I'm not the only one who noticed the scam texts coming in after I order something online. I never order anything online, and yet whenever I do, I get scam texts a few days after ordering something.

"Congratulations! I have bad news to share with you" is a powerful way to start an e-mail. Gonna use that the next time I need to cancel a meeting.
Lol 😂
It's like those medical alert buttons. It starts off, Congratulations! Which I think should be followed by, You're old! 😂
Has the same energy as "It's a pleasure to meet you... Oh wait. No, it's not."

Oh great now I can literally be Mr Barister John Barosa with this xD I wonder if you ever thought of making an animated series of him. It would be cool if we had that spice of humor as a scheduled series xD
That blackmail email scam was going around a while back. A few people even made videos making fun of how clumsy and obvious the bluff is.
As much as I absolutely LOVE your cooking, foraging, road trip and plant id videos, I enthusiastically look forward to your scambaiting videos. The way in which you annoy these people is pure gold. LOL
When you see how sloppy the scammers are on social catfish romance scams it's as if they go into cognitive dissonance mode and under their spell. Thanks for continuing to entertain us with this videos, Shrimp!
"Why are you telling me things only a child can understand?" Bloody hilarious, good job! 😂😂
Thank you, "Scamfighter-Shrimp", for continuing the fight against these horrid excuses for examples of humanity.
The perfect content to finish off Friday afternoon at work
I got one of these adult websites spam mails a while back and it showed me the first part of my email address and my password, one that I hadnt used in years. And they claimed they had recordings of me doing the thing while I dont have a webcam 😅
You probably had your password leaked by some company in the past.
@@Stettafire yeah i know it just was funny how it was a 5+ year old pw
2:08 I caught this exact email before it was flagged by spam, it was a laugh to read
I like the format of this vid
I am SO happy I'm not the only one who noticed the scam texts coming in after I order something online. I never order anything online, and yet whenever I do, I get scam texts a few days after ordering something.
"You are nor read? I had one, but the wheels fell off."
I CAN'T BREATHE XD
Appreciate the time stamps as a longish time viewer but I assure you I will be viewing every second of this video
I like the hat in your profile picture. It looks good on you. It makes you look like an extra in a cowboy movie like the bartender or a poker player.
Thanks for the PSA. I wish they shared this type of content on the news.
"Are you a small boy?" always hits them so hard for some reason lmao
"You are like a brother to me" .. what a strange, random addition to that.
I feel like that email was written by mashing the autocomplete suggestions on a mobile phone
I listen to you every single night, love your videos Mr Shrimp
I love getting those sextortion scams. I have found those kind of scammers are the easiest to anger when trolling them.
Haven't seen atomic shrimp scambaits in so long
I love how the loan scammer never once asked you anything about the amount of a loan you need.
Another brilliant Atomic Shrimp 🦐 & love the word salad 🥗😆Thanks 🙏🏻😊
Keep up the good work Mr. Shrimp!!
This should be required viewing for everyone on earth.
