- This video is part 3 of a series, in which I have previously warned about clicking links in emails. Here in this episode, we will look at a real world example of someone getting phished, and what we had to do about it.

Ah, yes. Same.
Brain: .... Oh look, a link, click it.
I seem to have forgotten my brain somewhere
As someone who grew up at a time when email scams started to become a thing, my antennas are ALWAYS up, and every email that I did not expect is suspicious until proven otherwise hehe
I’d give them the code... after redeeming it
One time, I got scammed by text (I seem to recall) saying something about my PayPal account needing ID confirmation or it would be closed, and I was smart enough to be suspicious but for some reason was stupid enough to double back on said suspicion. When I'd given the details and realised I'd screwed up, I immediately went downstairs to my mum whom I live with, told her the situation, she got me to change my login credentials on PayPal and took me to the bank to cancel the potentially compromised card. I'm glad I thought to act on it quickly, but it was still personally mortifying. I'm happy to say that I got an email talking about a similar issue recently, but was smart enough to check the app because surely there would be a notification on how to deal with it if there really WAS an issue, and found out there wasn't anything. At first I was really puzzled by it as the email looked somewhat official - even had the header image - but it just felt off to me, so I erred on the side of caution, thinking if there was really an issue they'd be sure to give me some sort of reference number for the problem.
This video should be required material for.... everyone. Everyone should watch this.
Mom: go check your email and listen to every message you have!
My email:
last I checked you were on 13k subs. now you are over 500k! way to go!
Thank you for educating people. We need more people out there like Atomic Shrimp!!
This channel made me analyze every email I get :)
It's incidences like these that I'm very thankful my email service won't load images and other media in emails until you click a button and close the "Images in emails may be misleading" pop up. Also it just makes emails load a lot faster. Not that that email address appears to be on any of these scam mailing lists anyway, I've somehow managed to keep it pretty safe.
There are so many "you need to click on this link" scam emails. I just received one today.
I always wondered why scammers use weird fonts in their e-mail… That for me it’s insta delete/ignore.
Wow same font used by JimBrowning @3:40
I haven't noticed Jim using HP Simplified - he's using Britannic, I think
At the risk of splitting hairs; "I can't do this now because I'm not available right now" makes perfect sense. It's weird English for sure but it makes sense.
It makes sense as words. It does not make sense as a statement.
'Colorless green ideas sleep furiously' is a grammatically correct sentence, but not a sensibly meaningful statement.
Does that mean that you can write a completely wrong password in that fake website, then the scammers would try to sign in using that wrong password?
British idioms are the best. I'm going to start calling people "silly old sausage."
Aren’t they though! Here’s another to add to your repertoire...My Dad says “they’d laugh to see a puddin’ crawl” (if someone is a giggly sort). I don’t fully understand the reference (maybe @Atomic Shrimp knows?) but the word picture alone makes me smile lol
I agree. It´s even funnier when I translate it into Dutch.
@@ahandsomefridge Oh, you gekke oude worst
Oh you will? You're such a silly old sausage!
When I was younger my stepdad used to call me a ‘gurtie’ and I still have no idea what that means
The lesson of don't panic, stop, breathe, look, think, also applies to moments like that in life. Not just email scams, but ANY unknown situation. *applauds*
Yep. There are actually very few situations in life where panic will improve the outcome.
@@AtomicShrimp When my mom was teaching me how she was able to deal with us kids being hurt or sick or anything else that kids do, and how scary it was to have to deal with a bleeding child but she never let it stop her, told me "Take care of them first. You can always freak out after they're fine."
@@AtomicShrimp What a about a Panic contest? Welll? GOT 'EM!
Very, very true! Sometimes it might be fun to rush into the unknown, but ALWAYS think if it's a good idea and take the advice of: Don't panic, stop, breathe, look and think!
@ Just takes practice and self-awareness. You're in control of your emotions and reactions, and it shouldn't be the other way around.
Professionals will not cold-call you, will not threaten or extort you, and certainly will not demand payment in the form of a different company's store credit.
Please let my letting agency know this! Total jerks lol...and yes, you are right, because they are decidedly UNprofessional grrrr. In fairness, the advice is the same when dealing with companies behaving unprofessionally - take a breath and don't panic...then report them!

Wow, I cannot tell you how many e-mails I've received similar the one your friend got warning of an issue with their service and to immediately click on the link to fix the issue. Now when I see an e-mail titled "[Final Reminder] Your account will shut down soon" I will implement the "Stop, Breath, Look, and Think" method and go about my day instead of getting annoyed at seeing another one of these messages appear in my box.
If in doubt, type in and go to the website manually, never trust the link.
Anything at all that says "final reminder" should not be trusted.
what e-mail service do you use? I switched from outlook a while ago because they didn't catch any of the phising e-mails and let them all into inbox.
@@DingDingTheTH-camBuddy Mostly I do as well, but then I started getting them from "paypal" and the first one I almost fell for in a stressed out moment. I moved all my important accounts to another e-mail address that I don't use for anything other than bank and pay services.
@@OrdinaryCloud He's talking about going to the legitimate website the email claims to be from, not retyping the malicious URL into your browser... Obviously that would lead to the same result as clicking the link. A link is a link.
If it's an email from Yahoo/Amazon, always log into Yahoo/Amazon the normal way (by typing the correct URL) to see if there's indeed a problem, and *never* click the link.
It is guaranteed that anyone who uses the internet will get caught out at least once in their time online, wether it's in their early years learning the internet and learning not to trust it, or in their later years when they don't understand fully the new fangled tech they're using. Everyone focuses on shouting DONT CLICK IT, but no one ever focuses on what to do if it happens to you, so it's nice to finally see that happening here.
It's a constantly evolving battle, but often (and as here), the scammers are just using psychological tricks that PT Barnum would have recognised; these are inbuilt weaknesses in our brains that, by default, most people have; they can be overcome by training and conscious effort, but these scams work because they make people *want to* click.
I've been hacked before as well as dealing with ransomware, it's far from a fun experience. Fortunately each time it's happened nothing of value was lost/compromised as I naturally never used email for anything other than spam.
If anything it was mostly luck and dealing with multiple hilariously bad scammers per day on email as well as trading on steam, which is absolutely rampant with scammer/phishers that really don't know what they're doing.
probably would make for a good video as there's multiple techniques they'll use
@@AtomicShrimp I have fallen to that type of scam once. I deleted my facebook profile immediately, very similar, I "logged-into" "Facebook" and then they took my information. I could have filled up their website with fake logins and passwords to keep them working hard.
Although I've never been hacked my email kept getting spam so I deleted it and made 9 new ones
I would kill for a browser plugin that prominently displays the domain name of login pages.
Unfortunately, I've been gotten before by a technique they this wouldn't help with:
Some sites open a small browser window that's used for login.
This website faked that by completely recreating the window in the browser, so that they could make the URL for the window look real.
The only tell was that the "window" could not be dragged out of the webpage.
What’s that blurry overlay in the beginning of the video for?
It's the YT editor being a wonky piece of garbage. Trying to fix it...
@@AtomicShrimp it does seem that it happens with many, many youtubers. Almost every time I watch a video with a blurred spot, it usually stays on for like 30 extra seconds

@@acezgallipeau People are so sensitive nowadays SMH
I only fell for password stealing scam once. My kinda-friend reached out to me over instagram to let me know that pictures he sketched of my photography were submitted in to a contest, in which we won. Since I did post my photography to Instagram and he posted manga-style art, it made enough sense in the moment and I tapped the link in the message to view his entry.
I was then prompted with a login screen. I didn't question why it was there because it showed my instagram account picture. But after I entered my password and was told I won a free iPhone from the contest. I soon realized I screwed up. I didn't press the collect prize button but I realized the scammer already had my password.
I was lucky. There was only about 5 minutes between me initially entering my password into the fake login and me changing that password, and scammer didn't try to access my account until hours later. (I know because I got an email from instagram, thinking I was locked out of my account.) But I still should of known better. That friend's message had some typos and also was sent twice, to which I chalked up as a duplicate message glitch, but was actually the same message slightly reworded.
TL;DR: Don't trust links in DMs either.
That's how they get people - phishing emails often seem laughably implausible to people when they are presented alone, but coincidence is a significant factor in the way they work. For example, most people aren't expecting a package delivered by FedEx today, but if the scammers send out 10 million emails about a FedEx package, a proportion of them will happen to land on people who are expecting one, and those people might click.
6:00 that sounds suspiciously like the SCP foundation, let's see.
Breach response: yes.
Identify: yes
contain: yes
eradicate: yes
cataloging(recover and review): yes
Lol
Tbh, that could be their protocol for a breach. Respond early, identify all breached entities, contain the SCPs, eradicate the D-Class Personell/ Chaos Insurgents and recover/review what caused the breach.
Yep
I think it's real-world standard procedure for any kind of breach containment; SCP just used it to add realism and professionality.

There was this one time my friends Facebook account was stolen and used for a covid relief scam. At first I couldn't tell, but as soon as he started saying how good he felt, I started having suspicions. I tried to confirm his identity by asking about things a scammer wouldn't know about. He kept trying to change the subject back to their scam.
It's so sad that they are using COVID scams... But of COURSE, they are... Really hurts to see them go so low, but I am not even surprised, they are scum after all.

@@js2275 That's true. I don't know about the amount of charities that are scams, but many of them have most of the money go to admin and staff, which I've never felt okay with. I do understand that they also deserve money for their job, but... I don't know, it doesn't feel right regardless.

I had a call this morning an automatic message telling me my internet would be cut off - I thought Atomic Shrimp would mess these scammers minds up. I hope you get such a call and give them a hard time.
I have been getting a few of those lately. "If in case you don't press 1, you will be arrested"
You watch kitboga? He does a lot of the phone call scam baiting.
@@AtomicShrimp What were to happen if you would press 1 on any of these types of calls? Just curious.
You get connected to a call centre, where they try to scam you. Usually it's the sort of thing you see on Kitboga (which might be a fake refund, a fake tech support, a fake tax fraud accusation, etc)
I see. Thanks for letting me know.
Hmm. So I should
Identify: find the scammers identity
Contain: travel to them and kidnap/trap them
Eradicate: *eliminate the scammer*

On 7:46 you failed to mention one of the most obvious thing, the "Dear User". All E-mails from companies will at the very least mention the name you put in there, that's one of the most basic things I've learned to check firsthand. Though it doesn't mean it's safe, you still need to check other thing, but when reading an E-mail it ussually the first thing to stick out
Ohhhh, this is a great lesson for me. Thanks.

Title: I Told You NOT To Click The Phishing Link, But You DID! Now What?
Me: What are you yelling at me for? Your friend did the bad.
What always gets me is how many little, not bugs, but sloppy issues major sites have that can make hacks worse or that make the stupid things we do when we aren't thinking worse. When I find them I always try to report them. A couple times they've even changed them. I got a low risk Chrome issue fixed once that I took through their security tracking reporting system and reported one to some of the big email companies (a while back, it included Gmail, but the other three were Yahoo, AOL and Hotmail) where they didn't mask your recovery information so someone who got into one email account could get your other email account name, and people are lazy so I figured they might use the same password. Now they've got both your emails. That was before cellphone numbers were a common way to verify, so at least they weren't showing those. The Chrome one, was one they'd patched before but popped back up. If you log into the Chrome password feature you can see your other site passwords if you've saved them. The problem was that you could actually leave that page without shutting out the session. If someone used a public computer someone else could go to that page. As long as Chrome hadn't shut down and you hadn't actually hit the log out button all your passwords for every site you'd ever clicked for Chrome to save were unmasked. Now if you leave the page you have to log back in. Of course if you probably shouldn't be logging into Chrome on a public computer anyway. The 'people don't often access this feature often and it would only affect them if were also being lazy about security' exploits are everywhere, but people be lazy. :)
I wish that sites showed a list (masked) of any addresses it is forwarding and recovery to right up in your face, not several clicks in. I tried suggesting that after a friend's email kept getting hacked over and over. Most people don't know to click through to check for forwarding addresses. I think the hacker probably just got in once and set the recovery password to themselves.
In all seriousness this series should be shown in schools. Yearly.

Fear is OK, just tame it and channel it into careful behaviours.
that's good advice, i'll be sure to remember that whenever i'm freaking out. thank you
Bro I literally just learned about Identify, Contain, Eradicate, Recover, and Review TODAY in my Navy cybersecurity course.
Ain't life funny?
This exact (so to speak) scam happened to my friend. She received an email from her brother, or so she thought. Supposed brother was asking her to purchase a gift card. Etc,etc,etc...
She called her brother & NO he had not requested her to do that!,,,,
She went on facebook and said
"if you get an email from me,
IGNORE IT ! "
This year has been rife with scams. Had three family members Facebook accounts hijacked and then the scammers would try to scam you with those. Luckily we are a close fam (so we know each others behaviours well) and they all picked up on this immediately. I did have some fun with the Mtf first though. Came across your channel today, some good tips and advice. Give em hell :)
I almost ignored an important message from my council once because of the knowledge that 'proper authorities will not try to pressure/scare you', but I checked up on it (via very alternate channels). It was a weird day, to get a message stating 'your council tax is late, if you do not pay soon we will start taking action' (or something like that) when my last correspondance about the council tax had been 'you owe nothing!' They had a phone number to call which matched the one on the website, so I assumed that might somehow (no idea how) be compromised and emailed the council instead, who confirmed that they did in fact think I owed money... Still no idea how they managed to fail to send me council tax bills until suddenly sending a text about it though.
That is the most passive-aggressive thumbnail I've ever seen.
I did? But you told me not to! Aw jeez i guess I have to watch this video to get out of this mess.
Dude! People would pay money for training like this.
I get lots of emails saying something about "Last Warning" or "We need confirmation", lol. Never open any emails apart from Recipts or uh idk. 24,196 emails unread, lol.
I used the STOP BREATHE LOOK THINK system but I still brought the multipack of triple chocolate cookies.
Something like this happened to a friend of mine years ago. I discovered very quickly it was a scammer when he started mailing me in english and didn't reply to my questions in dutch.
Well... I've learnt it the hard way. In my defense, I opened the attachment (stupid, right?) at
about 3 am. Long story short, by lunch time when I woke up all my files had been nicely encrypted. Reading email at an ungodly hour when brain goes into an autopilot mode is a recipe for disaster.
What I learned from this video: 200 pounds = 100 X 2 pounds
Ah yes, the classic "Gift card for a cancer patient" trick. Gets me every time.
NOT.
A site I had signed up for years ago had a data breach two years ago and at that time I was using the same password for everything (yeah, I learned my lesson). I was lucky that my email account was not compromised (I changed that password after getting an email from the affected site), but I kept getting security alert emails for the accounts associated with that email for over a year.
I was at least smart enough to keep separate email accounts for important stuff and less serious stuff so my banking and school stuff was never at risk, but it goes to show how easily something like that happens if you're not careful enough.
Never trust Rasputin!
One thing I will never understand with the scams is the consistent bad use of language. It seems like 99% of all cases are easily identified by the bad English. I appreciate that English might not be their first language, but you'd have thought they would have had the means to acquire a default template with correct English ... at least for the initial email. It's very odd.
It is deliberate, to act to filter out smarter/more aware people that will catch on later in the process after more time has been invested by the scammer.
You should see some Dutch written scam mails: they're obviously translated from another language using 1990's Google translate: the words are correct in some way, but they are the wrong words in the context and/or in the wrong order of a sentence. Always enjoyable to read, though. 😋
I dont normally comment on video however I think this is important validation.
I watched this video today and a few moments ago it helped me not get scammed.
Keeping a cool head and staying aware of any suspicious emails that require my personal details.
I have reported it but.
Thank you so much for your teachings .
November is the most dangerous month for thinking and understanding what's happening because you can't make use of post-nut clarity.
"kindly" and "pls" seem to be favourite words of email scammers
This was a good informative video. I would love to see other videos that talk about what to do in other situations (like getting pwned for example)
Thanks - I'll bear that in mind for future episodes
Man I hate it when people use the word "kindly" in their request. "Please kindly..." "Kindly (insert command)... I've never seen this used in situations where I wasn't somewhat frustrated at what the asker was requesting, and then they put kindly on there as if to say that they knew asking for it was a jerk move. JUST ASK AND SAY THANKS FOR ANY HELP. Rant over.
A few years ago I worked in the operations subsidiary of a large bank.
They did a fishing test by sending a company styled e-mail to all employees, asking them to go to a link for a company survey, but from an e-mail address where there was a typo in the company domain.
Something like 80+ percent of the people that received and opened the e-mail used the link... including myself :D
This reminds me of the time I was on an old kindle fire and clicked on a website. The website said that I had multiple viruses on my computer and needed to download a cleaner within half an hour. The things I should've noticed were that it was a fake google 404 page while I was using bing, and that it said that I was on a computer. Thankfully the kindle, instead of going to whatever website the page was trying to get to, took me to the appstore homepage instead. It freaked me out but I opened the web browser up again and read the 404 message and realized what was up.
Brilliantly done Shrimp, it’s thanks to you that I’m so careful on my email addresses!
I’m also happy to say I watch almost all of your content now, it’s such a brilliant set up you have here and I’m happy to have subscribed to you. :)
I litterally deal with this exact type of scam on Steam every day. When the scammer finds out I'm onto them they get so angry and it's hilarious.
I recently got a text pretending to be paypal and gave me a link ending in
paypaI.com that looked legitimate until I realised that the 'I' was not a 'l' and was in fact an uppercase 'i'.
Luckily I don't have a paypal account so I knew instantly that it was a phishing scam
Would love to see scammer reaction to stumbling upon Mange Tout’s inbox
For me the thing that usually tips me of that it's a scam is the language. I'm not a native English speaker and almost none if the emails I get are in English.
why do i now want to write a script to send emails to people asking them login and taking there acount changing to something as close to the email providing service and send the same thing to all there contacts making a giant unstaple chain just prove a point and nothing more.
Your channel inspires me to want to start scan baiting “sugar daddies.” I come across them alllll the time and I always lead them on and mess with them when I do. Inevitably they always pull the “pay a fee to get your money”
Ahhh yes, I remember the time I got scammed on roblox, my poor account.
I'm not sure how this channel went from a food forging food challenge to a scam baiting channel, but i'm totally on board 100%. This is awesome, got a beautiful goal, and it's all humanitarianism.
I got a call from someone claiming to be the police and saying that I didn't pay my taxes and that I would go to court
The reason I didn't pay my taxes was because I'm under 18
I love your way to handle scams. In comparison to other channels tackling these kinds of subject, you always remain calm and rather kind. (other would try much more ad hominem attacks, which result in quite toxic video content I find)
I have had emails from hm revenue for driving in a congestion zone,I dont own a car AND am in a wheelchair!!

Now I'm ready
So, like millions of other people, I tend to browse the internet for porn. There's a lot of preview only sites that seem like they go different places but all the links go to the same .php address, whatever that means, and they all open yet more fake preview-only pages. What sort of malware can I potentially get from this? I always scan frequently but no issues yet. Also, would it avoid the problem by using a virtual machine? Thanks.
Quite ironically, that probably depends more on how secure other sites you visit within that same browser profile are rather than how unsafe those sketchy sites are. Not withstanding browser security bugs (best kept in check with regular updates), websites can't escape the browser sandbox unless you explicitly grant them permission to (e.g. installing browser extensions, accepting or even executing downloads, accessing microphone/webcam), whereas there are a number of ways websites can mess with other websites despite the same-origin policy that separates them by default. The precautions go from a separate browser profile (if not just private mode, which is a pain for websites like Deviantart or Pixiv that hide NSFW content without a login, also it can't hide stuff like your bookmarks) to a separate browser to a separate operating system in a VM depending on how paranoid you are.
@@D0Samp so if I use something super paranoid like TOR will that probably keep me safe?
@@franzpattison The Tor Browser is just a special version of Firefox in the end, but besides anonymous connections it also comes with warning messages for most of those pitfalls, since what harms your privacy can also harm your computer.
And I bet you're impotent. A REAL everyday woman isn't good enough for you, eh?
Gotta have half a million in plastic surgery.
@@XXX_xxxxxxxx Bahahaha oh yeah you're right on 😂 everything you say is truth
Can you be hacked or scammed just by pressed a link from them fake amazon emails or delivery or any fake emails? Or is it safe unless you have to put info in? For example if I click a link on my phone accidentally
really sound advice. went through a process just like this with my Granddad last year. But unfortunately it was a Netflix credit card scam, both his bank and Netflix were able to resolve and luckily undo the damage with in the hour of reporting it.
I work a lot with elderly and trying to fix their computer problems and such, and it's actually surprising to me how little they tend to buy email phishing scams like this. It seems to actually be younger people that fall for these more, presumably since we tend to explore and click stuff more to figure out what they do as opposed to elderly being rather intimidated and backing away from most confrontation.
Great advice in these electronic times! reminded me of back at school in the 80`s,STOP,LOOK,LISTEN!!

I'm gonna start a foundation
"I need to get an Amazon gift card for a cancer patient"
Ah yes, because weak, immunocompromised people bound to hospital beds require amazon gift cards all of a sudden.
