"I can't believe you would just take my money" "not yet" Thank you for making entertaining videos burning these scammers time so they don't have as much time to go after real victims who may actually fall for these types of scams. Truly a great service!
The issue there is that it would rarely make for a good video. "I sent the scammer a dozen emails and got no replies" is just boring. You need the scammer to bite and reply in order to have material - and if the scammer is doing that, there's plenty of other (often better) stuff that can be done.
That's really weird that the last scammer was telling you to go to the post office. Surely all that's likely to happen if a victim does that is they get told it's a scam?
@@AtomicShrimp I'm not sure whether my Google-Fu has failed me but at least one reviewer claims this is a USPS office for federal employees only, and is actually inside a US Department of State building (Harry S Truman Building). If that's the case you'd be turned away before you even get into the general area where the USPS office is, even if you did attempt to go there.
@@SimonHollingshead that's interesting. I wonder if that is a deliberate choice so as to also trap even the people who are close enough to visit. Either way, I'm pretty sure this is a tactic designed to psychologically frame the fee as something the victim chooses to pay, rather than something that was inherent and mandatory, and thus it creates the illusion that it might not be a scam.
Just in case anyone watching doesn't know: when sending photos to these people, be really careful to strip out any EXIF metadata, as it can sometimes contain stuff you really don't want them to know --- like exactly where the photo was taken.
@@JanusHoW I wouldn't take the chance. One never knows what training they've had and the tech knowledge up the ladder is sometimes scary good. Which makes one wonder why they've not gone legit with their mad skills.
@@Leonard_MT That's true. The management in these call centers have the tech knowledge and come up with the schemes so they make a lot of money but pay very little to the grunts reading the scripts and making the calls. It's a tough cycle to break. But these same geniuses could be the next Wozniaks, Pages or Brins. Instead of making a million, they might have the business and tech accumen to be billionaires and solve real problems. But low-hanging fruit is all they aspire to.
I've always wondered why photos even have this useless metadata that only serves as a security risk for the person taking it. When did metadata start being added to photos ? Why can't phones just be pre-configured to take a photo with nothing else included ?
I love when they ask for "apple cards" as payment. Somehow they never catch that I keep talking about fruit and groceries until I send a picture of a Kroger gift card for them to buy apples with. I approve of sending the wrong cards, or the lack there of! 😂
18:59 BTW, a lot of US government agencies take misuse of their trademarks and seals _quite_ seriously. When you're reporting scammer bank accounts, also send reports to the relevant government agencies, like reporting that misused USPS logo to the USPS. In aggregate reports make it easier for the agency to allocate funds to combat spam, and many will specifically investigate reports and try to get the relevant spam operation shut down.
I've only recently discovered Atomic Shrimp, then only today discovered his scam baiting videos as I was watching his frugal living vids initially. I have watched a lot of scam baiters on TH-cam and I think this guy is the best of them all for laughs. Very clever

@@karthikkumar6861 Yeah, exactly. I am Indian and $10 could easily get you 3 meals a day for a week if you converted it. I’m sure the same is true in west Africa
I have become reliant on your scambaiting videos to get to sleep at night - I don't mind at all, but i have permanently ingrained beige expanding transfers, glarded funds, holity addresses and bits of coin into my psyche, so I am glad there is a new video!
I've got an idea. I call it ''a very confused billionaire''. What if the next time scammers promise to send you large sums of money you pretend to have understood that YOU have to pay THEM that money and are willing to do so! I wonder how would they react.
I like to believe that the scammers sometimes think that your name is OK, and that's why they use it so much in their emails. May not be true but it makes me happy
Sometimes it feels like there's two people responding to the same emails from the same account. Its very strange. Sometimes Paul is super screamy and then immediately after is being polite again
The way this scammer kept blessing you and saying things like "believe and receive", makes me think that he is trying to scam people to make enough to send money to an american Televangelist.
The Paul S scammer saying "No, not yet!" I response to you claiming he had taken your money is an interesting Freudian slip I think, as good as admission, really.
“Who is number 1?” I was so excited for this reference, and am now imagining an update where the village is full of people talking like these kinds of scammers
I posed a question on the previous scambait video asking why the Scammer insists you stay home and wait "While the Transfer of Funds is Processed". My suspicions at the time were that it was intended to create a false sense of urgency, and you concurred with that idea. But a new thought just came to me. Maybe they want the victim to stay home to minimize the possibility that somebody will warn them of what's happening? If Gullible Gary takes a trip to the pub to brag about his sudden windfall, it's highly likely one of his pals will care enough to speak up and get Gary to refund that Steam Card before it's too late. Alternatively, he might pop on over to the bank to check on the status of his incoming deposit, only to be told by the Teller that he's being duped. Gotta do what you can to keep him at home until the card code clears processing.
Yeah, could be that, although I think it's also probably just to add an air of legitimacy to the story - you're supposed to stay at home because the promise is that the delivery agent will be right there...
Next time you get the opportunity to scambait an illegal business/trade related scammer, try asking for a bigger piece of the pie. Gradually negotiate up from a 50% cut to a 60% cut, etc-ultimately aiming to get 100% of the funds. All the while you can vent your concerns about how risky this seems, and that maybe if you get X% more, you'll be willing to assist in the endeavor. It may be tricky to pull off, but I think the pay off could be quite good (I mean, you would have 100% of it after all 😉).
The scammers' amusing appeals language reads as always identical and is easily identifiable. Love how Mr. Shrimp frustrates them with his 'naive' personas!
i imagine large funds when they email someone for whom they have no information beyond the fact that they are a beneficiary-not that such a situation is likely to occur often outside an advance fee scam
At this point it seems like only the most gullible and/or desperate scammers will fall for scambaiting, which is ironic because gullibility and desperation are also prominent characteristics of scam victims

Would be kinda funny to buy a Steam card (or any other card), use it, and then send the photo and blame them for "not being able" to type the card code properly, maybe even slightly editing the code ever so slightly so each time they type something slightly different and perhaps get a bit confused. Or maybe saying that you only have something completely made up (like "coin-squirt cards") and editing one that looks kinda realistic. If they ask for a link to where to check out such a card you send some link for a scam awareness site or something. Probably kills the conversation there but could be a bit of fun.
You call them steamed cards, despite the fact they are obviously grilled.

Or maybe saying that you only have something completely made up (like "coin-squirt cards") and editing one that looks kinda realistic. If they ask for a link to where to check out such a card you send some link for a scam awareness site or something. Probably kills the conversation there but could be a bit of fun.
Imagine being so desperate for a 25 pound gift card you keep sending emails reminding them to send you the gift card next monday.
25 pounds is a lot in their currency. Could easily last you at least 3 weeks worth of meals
I just randomly remembered your channel existed and how much I enjoyed your content. Never change, man.
This is golden. One of my favorite ones you have posted
Yes, and you call them Steamed Apples despite the fact that they're obviously grilled?
With your creative skills, I would love to see you make a real apple gift card (ideally without the seeds lol)
