Conclusion I haven’t refreshed in a bit
I got a phone call a few weeks back. The woman on the phone said I was in a car crash and it wasn't my fault, she then goes on to tell my how she's going to settle my claim and get me my compensation. She then started to ask me questions about the incident, this is when I ask her to hold on 2 seconds, I call over my dog and get her to bark down the phone nonstop 'as I get the pen and paper', I then picked the phone up and said I've got my details ready and something to make notes with.
She gets me to tell her about the incident, how I was sat at the crossroad, my light went green and this F15 runs his red light and slides wiped me out of nowhere.
At this point she gets the next person to take my details. I tell him the same story, nothing still believed me. He gets to the point of closing, starts to ask me for my bank details. I start to thank him for this money, how it's a great thing being able to use it and buy a new car.
I think he finally clicked when I told him 'it's got to be hard to stop at the lights flying one of them thing',he asked me to tell him the story from the start.
So, I go through the whole story and get to the point where I first see the on coming vehicle,
''it was moving fast, I was side on to it''
'' Okay and what did it look like?''
''It was a greeny, brown, missiles on the wing, I'm sure he was way lower than his airspace''
He jumps in with ''what do you mean missiles?''
''Well they were under the wing, I'm lucky one of them didn't explode on impact, they do some damage''
For some reason the phone went dead after that. I don't think they can pay out on car vs fighter jet.
I do, but I often play around too James Vietch also does this too check out Ted Talks
@@william_design yeah, I noticed that, the one about Solomon and the gold scam, and it was word for word the same!
Yes, scammers are annoying. Awful even. Lucky for you with just one simple payment of £500 my company can assure that you never receive a scam email ever again.
What a wonderful offer! Please post your bank details and ID card and I'll transfer the money straightaway.
@@302Diane It seems the details of my credit card are missing.
Maybe this can help explain

😀
I am not interested in that kind of thing.
Consult me only on bake!
I can do a tenner and a pack of wine gums, deal?
Shut up and take my money!
Joe has a weird way of being both over the top and toned down at the same time and I’m really not sure how it works but I’m into it.
This is what sardonic humor is like. It's not as popular nowadays as non-sardonic humor. This may be the reason why you're unfamiliar with it. But the British are masters at it. Or used to be.
Dude... My man. That’s not what I’m referring to.
the british are he isnt..
Hes a normal gay person. Not one of those REALLY CAMP ONES THAT ARE FAKING IT
Chaotic neutral
Joe Lycett and James Acaster could carry this nation I swear
James veich look him up
Diamond Ocean bold of you to assume I don’t know who James Veich is and is just as chaotic lol
@@diamondocean68 I was trying to remember this guys name, thank you!
What if James veich Joe lycett and James Acaster all work together and takeover the world
tianah banana
I for one, would welcome our pasty, chaotic overlords
I am not a gay. I am *THE* Gay.
I love Joe but that position is quite contested as gays all over the world are trying to come on top.
@@hiroyoshi00 This gay is quite happy being the bottom actually 😎
@@raeburnoliver6334 lmao
lol same
Thought he said 'vegay' as in vegan and gay lol hahaha x thanks for clarification haha x
"Yes I understand now. We have to wait for your wife to give you passport back from cupboard."
I love the conspiratorial tone of that reply, as if they're in the same struggle at this point.
As well as James Veitch, Joe Lycett has also been doing this type of thing for a while. Plenty of his stand up is made up of him getting out of parking fines, helping his friends out of scam emails, etc.
Fancy Mason tbh I prefer James Veitch
@@booteefullmushtash8387 Yeah, fair enough. I just like Joe's sense of humor, it's a lot more campy, where as (whilst I haven't seen much of James) his sense of humor to me seems a lot more dry.
At least Joe isn’t being accused of sexually assaulting multiple women
Melissa McCauley what happened
@@stayforthepeelpronpls4774 not late, but James has been accused of inbrebiating/convincing college freshman girls to have sex with them. There have been r*pe claims involved
"Shearing" wasn't an error. The intent was to "fleece" the email recipient.
One MercilessMing brilliant
@@enyamccarthy7849--Thank you for the kind words. I really love the English language, whether it's UK, USA, or AU. There are well over a half million words with which one can play.
@@onemercilessming1342 👍😂 Well done ❗
And if you enjoy languages and wordsmithing, try German! Very precise, and once you get the hang of it, very productive. 😉
@@BigMamaDaveX--I took one quarter of German in college. I saw the interrelationship between German, Dutch (which my maternal grandfather spoke), and English. German was my least favorite language (sorry). My favorite? Learning Lithuanian, the language of my paternal grandfather. It's quite a challenge.
One merciless, that is brilliant wordplay!
"Daphne Buttersmith" is a strangely pleasant name.
was just thinking that
I cracked up a lot at the 7 clients in 29 countries working out. That was brilliant. Joe - sorry, Hugo - is hilarious.
Tbf, they could have meant they had multinational clients. It's still a funny bit though.
I want one of those “are you a gay” aprons to wear every time my mom comes over since she prefers to ignore that I ever came out as bisexual.
If she hassles you about it, just reply with "consult me only on bake"
@@stevenhale2935 LOL love that. She’s cool, tho. It’s just that she’s on the religious side, so she’s having a crisis of conscience but I’m slowly winning her over with facts and science. I pointed out to her that homosexuality exists throughout the animal kingdom and her brain shutdown for awhile. She loves me and is nowhere near as bad as I’m probably making her sound.
@@isabellaangeline2175 I always kind of feel bad for people like that. Dealing with the cognitive dissonance is a lot harder than some people realize
Nobody cares
@@larapalma3744 I care.
I like how Linda Bin is an anagram for Bin Ladin.
i love the comments
"is it just me or is this what james veitch has been doing for ages"
"James Veitch?"
"James Viitch anyone?"
Who the duck is James Veitch?
James Bcaster I’m not sure if that’s a pun or a spelling mistake
James Veitch started doing this
Definitely, he has a TedTalk and quite a lot of stand up videos.
His gold scam is way better because he escalated the deal and made them use code.
James Veit h popularuz3d it but many people have been doing this for several years
"If you have to explain that you're not a scammer, something's wrong, isn't it?"
That's what I like to call "the nice guy effect", because if someone has to go to great lengths to convince other people (particularly women) that he's a nice guy, then he almost certainly isn't.
Like my response when someone tells me to have a go at minecraft and I say no thanks. They then proceed to tell me how good it is and how much I would enjoy it if I just give it a go.......the fact you are going to such lengths tells me I probably wouldn't like it.
@@monkchips yo thats just someone trying to share an interest with you my guy; nobody ever convinced you to go see a movie?
@@hiitsme2612 There are a select few people who I would possibly take a recommendation from. It's less than 5 people.
@@monkchips yikes; shame were on youtube and you clicked on a recommended video tho :)
@@hiitsme2612 it wasn't recommended. I saw him on 8 out of 10 cats.
"Am I a gay? NO I'm not a gay...I am *the* gay!"
It’s amazing how Mrs Christine Lagarde was able to send Joe on email on the 4th November despite having died in the early hours of the 3rd...
It gets better. The attorney messaged on the 5th. Joe replied on the 4th. 😂 😂 These are just all fake I assume
@@santroization also, his reply saying "sorry to hear she has died" was apparently sent at exactly the same time as the now dead Christine emailed him on the 4th haha. So she sent him an email at the exact moment he emailed her solicitor saying he was sorry to hear of her death a day before he was told about it and despite the fact she had just emailed him
Who’s here when he’s changed his name to Hugo Boss😂🇧🇲
Me, what a joker, love him lol
yasssssssssssss
Yeeees
I like how Joe reads the emails word for word in his sassy voice. My mum, who's blind, can listen and she loves it.
How on earth can you not love Joe Lycett. Everyone get parsnips buttered you won't be disappointed
i have never found it possible to not love Mr Lycett.
@@Plethorality I know. My tickets are already booked for more more more. I can't wait.
@@kcunningham064 lucky you!! i am on the other side of the world., so please pass on my fondest, warmest, and only just short of creepiest regards.. and have a briiliant time! : )

Linda Bin, BIN LADIN! Hahahahaha
guitarfrozenintime haha I only just got this 😂
Oh, I assumed it was because the emails were going Inda Bin
@@indrocringe5576 smart cookie
???? Why is everyone comparing him to James Veitch? I get it’s a similar idea but Joe Lycett has been doing this for ages as well? He’s his own comedian, and a good one! Not a James Veitch copy smh
Also scambaiting long precedes both of them.
No one is saying he’s a copy people are just comparing them because they both waste scammers’ time
@@chazmeister0710 No, there are some Veitch fan bois around in here.
They need to know that you can be a fan of someone without giving up all your self respect to throw tantrums on the social media pages of other comedians just because they do similar comedy.
@@isabellaangeline2175 funniest thing is they're throwing tantrums for a joke guy ahahaha
I once got those mails when I was like 14. I was thrilled to write in English, because tbh I loved English (second language) too much bc I'm a nerd. The person was friendly at first. And then it went into the money stuff. It's not like anything happend. I explained that I was too young to open an account and relatively quickly realized what it was about. And I had fun, at some point the scammers would stop replying, after all, I couldn't legally receive the money, I gave life advice on how to deal with their hard situation and got similar emails twice again and to be frank scamming scammers is a blast.
A couple of days ago I got a burst of messages from a scammer in my native language, and the text was surprisingly good.
that was an excellent use of this language! thank you!
He's a snarky prick on the side of the angels. I adore him.
That's absolutely the best description of him I have ever heard
"Am I a gay? No, I'm not a gay. I'm THE gay."
Love this. Once I got a scammer who wrote to me asking for my details so he could release some money from a bank in (surprise, surprise) Nigeria. I asked the scammer for the bank's name and then wrote back to him a few days later saying, I spoke to the bank and they agreed to give me the money directly so I didn't need him. He replied with some very rude words and accused me of being greedy, which is exceedingly odd seeing as he must have known he was scamming me and that there was no money!
that was wondeful
I swear they get lost in their own lies, it’s some kind of dissociation tactic or something. So they don’t get ridden with guilt about their “job” of robbing people.
That's excellent. I've always wanted to reply with something along the lines of "Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I contacted the bank and they used the money in my account to cover the 'transfer fees' so I didn't need to pay anything upfront. Cheers!"
Listening to Joe Lycett is like going on an adventure.
of love...
The way he said drugs at the beginning made me laugh
I like how the lawyer said she was buried on the 3rd yet she emailed you on the 4th.
i will pay lots of money for a shirt that says ‘are you a gay? no. i am THE gay’ ((not a scam))
Its a trick... Hes trying to scam us!
me too
@@acay5722 :0 Thank you for the warning, dear Acay. I would like to send you 14 million dollars worth of Gold as a thank you.

Who tf is joe. That’s Hugo Boss, Why is he one a show called “Joe Lycett’s Got Your Back”.
"whatever normal people do in their spare time.. whatever that is... Drugs?"
As I choke on a dab from laughter
For the James Veitch prophets in the comment section: no one copied anyone. Joe Lycett has been doing this type of stuff, not only email scams but also, facebook and parking fine dodging etc. since at least 2015. Even published a book with that sort of content in 2016. They both do their bit and both do it well. Just enjoy it or you know.. don't.
Plus scambaiting has been around for basically as long as email scammers have.
@@MuchWhittering and is a necessary tradition.
Idk why people think things can only be done by one person, ever. Imagine telling a baker they can’t bake, someone else they know already does that so they’re stealing.
Even if Joe did copy James Veitch, it'd still be great as the content is still funny. I think more comedians should do this.
Fortunately, I don't know who James Veitch is.
He's just so effortlessly funny! One of my favourite comedians😂
I hope more comedians join in on this. Ive always enjoyed watching it as my grandparents tend to get targeted a lot and have fallen for it in the past. James Veitch was on to something when he started doing these bits in his comedy some years back.
Joe is great and I can't wait to see more from him!!!
I love Joe. What an awesome friend he would be to have. I hope he keeps doing this for some time there is a lot more mileage on this yet. Scammers need to be outed
"Are you a gay"
"No...,I'm thea gay"
😂😂😂
2:29 the deliver of "hello my dear Linda Bin" was very reminiscent of Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
The smile as he delivers the killing line!
Holy shit I remember watching this a few years ago and I just found his stand up yesterday. Having a huge existential moment as everything comes full circle.
"Things aren't right in every room" lmao 😂
This is way too short. I could watch this the whole day.
Just look up James veitch
I need this guy to fix my conflicts in real life.
I want one of those "Are you a gay?" aprons
Daphne Buttersmith has a phobia of doorknobs because she thinks that if she touches one it will shatter into a thousand pieces and one of them will hit her eye. She’s a relative of Josephine Anwhistle.
The tellitubbies thing made me laugh so much. That's genius.
14:15 -- well, the "7 clients in 29 countries" thing is not really something to call them out for, when there are so many other lies and bad syntax that give them away as scammers. For example, "Coca-Cola" is a client - you would regard them as "1 client" if they were paying you for services, yet the company is spread out over scores of countries, so you could call them "1 client over 79 countries," because your services are affecting their business in all those countries. And so on.
good point
😂😂😂 the shearing is to facilitate fleecing.
"Clogging up her inbox"
I would love to see Joe lycett and James veitch do a team up replying to spam, and see how it would play out :)
I think you mean Hugo Boss shuts down email scammers.
I once found a rather blunt scam email in my trash that just said “do you want to join my sex cult.
I had one of those scammers like Christine. Her story was her husband and her had no children, had $5,000,000 in a trust fund and wanted me to find people in need to give it to. Shortly after this she was in the hospital and needed $8,000 to pay for surgery and of course she couldn't take it out of the trust fund. Told her I barely had $8 to give away and she suggested I sell some properties. She finally gave up and stopped messaging me until 2 weeks later she asked where the $500 I promised to send was. Told her she forgot who she was scamming because I'd never promised her anything. These scammers are so stupid but unfortunately there are people that are equally idiotic enough to fall for their nonsense.
I should send in all the Suggar daddy scams I get in my twitter dm’s telling me they’re gonna pay me by the day to talk to them
I’d love to see joe try and handle them
Oh my goodness I thought I was the only one who got these!
Omg i have loads of these! Told me his wife had died, then that his wife had stolen all his money so couldn't use PayPal so I had to send over my bank information so he could send money 😂😂
Karen, you’re a genius we gotta do this 😂
11:25 that is one attractive guy in the gray T-shirt. Oh man :O .
Indeed
Joe is one of the few who make me laugh out loud. Love.
The Craig David puns are actually amazing 😭
These had me in tears
Joe Lycette is my spirit animal.
“Hugo boss has got your back”
“No I’m not a gay..I’m the gay” -Joe 😂
please bring this show back - love it and it is very helpful
Not bragging or anything but I met Joe today! I'm super psyched!
Kampamba Chomba ooOoOoOoOooOoOooOoOoOooOoOoOoOo JEALOUS
Joe, you are my idol.
When scammers call, I pretend to be too blonde to scam.
I swear you can feel the frustration dripping down the phone.
Here is an example, when they ask me what is showing up on the computer screen after putting in a series of code, I tell them that I didn’t know that the computer was supposed to be on at the time. The longest pauseI heard was 30 seconds. The shortest was when they hung up immediately, followed by heavy breathing.
Then I really degenerate into cannibalism if nothing else works.
I don’t know what comes after that as they hang up. Lol.
Any time spent trying to scam me is one minute they’re not trying to scam someone else.
I'm watching you from the U.S. and loving your show. I play games with scammers. With one, he kept trying to explain that my Windows needed repair. I kept telling him that I had just had all of my windows replaced. So, I was certain that they didn't need to be repaired.
With another scammer, I kept up a ruse for half an hour before I told him that we had been speaking for half an hour and it was time for me to explain to him that I was scamming him.
Great fun giving it back to the scammers while usurping their time to prevent them from scamming gullible people.
stay hydrated

"she once saved me from a doorknob" hahhahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahhaha this is how you should now refer to all the good judy's
„No I‘m not a gay, I‘m THE gay“ and „consult me only on bake“ live in my mind rent-free
I've noticed scammers always use "AM"! Never I'm or I am 😂
He missed the chance to put the lyrics for Never Gonna Give You Up in binary code
I ❤️ YOU Joe! We needs many, many more episodes!
Polly Pocket he stole the content from james veitch.
It’s his mission to serve the common man with humour, with a flamboyant, posh and snobby persona. He hardly ever swings down and doesn’t self-deprecate himself, that’s clever humour :)
Same as i do to unwanted commercial callers, trying to sell energy or whatever.
Keep them talking, pretend to not get it.
They get payed by the call.
Keep m busy for 30 min or more, and they will never call u again😀
i'm still amazed that the stock image was used over 20 billion times...
I once answered a scam email by saying that the email address that they were trying to reach was a pseudonym for Warren Buffet and not to send the 22 million because I don't deal in small change.
BRILLIANT!!!!
I so love playing these scuzz buckets up its good fun during this quarantine
Needs to get a job working in sales chat. He would love chatting with all the frauds!
I freaking love this man
14:50 it is possible to have 7 clients in 29 countries. If those are very large MNE's and you would be doing stuff for all their subsidaries or at least some of them and then count all the countries those are spread across.
Absolutely fabulously put together good work Joë .. very well written too !
Joe is brilliant at these, hope he does more!
I don't consider he stole the content from James veitch
Glorious
He needs to make more of these programmes,he is like the Angela Rippon of the scamimg/consumer rights world but funny as well
This is bloody funny. Uplifted my day, thanks.
We love the work that you do
I think Yussif went along with it because only crazy people would actually respond to the email with the expectation of getting money.
bloody love this show
"I am THE gay" is the fucking best
I am not "a" gay . I am THE GAY. 🤣🤣🤣
I love him 🤣
This is so good. Love it. I'm going to start doing this
For those talking about James Veitch - many people have done this. I think James and Joe are equally funny, they have different styles.
They're not equally funny.
And I've actually never heard of james
Yes, unfortunately Joe's style is exactly the same as Robin Cooper used in his "Timewaster Letters", which have been around since 2005.
This is insane😂😂 Such a wonderful idea!
I've followed in Joe's footsteps with a Pedro Pascal impersonator. I nearly died crying with laughter xD He still trying to get money from me and it's been months.
Bloody brilliant ♥️
Love your work. Keep making the world smile with your intelligent comedy 🤓
I love the way your accent compliments the word Teletubbies, it's glorious.
It's almost like Julien Clarey and Larry Grayson had a baby.
First saw him on countdown Haha glad hes got more videos hahah
14:33 there is actually no quadripoint on the Zambezi river, but two tripoints, distant of about 150 metres (in imperial mesurement, it is equivalent to 302°F)
Wait, since when are metres equivalent to degrees Fahrenheit? Distance and temperature are two very different concepts, I think you got your conversions muddled up somewhere. Still an interesting factoid though.
@@Snowfox456: oh damn... it is a joke to mock imperial measurements... should I really add a laughing smiley after that? -_-'
@@SyntaxTerr0r Fahrenheit is a really bad one to use for a joke like this - after all, there are places that use the metric system but use Fahrenheit, and the UK, which uses imperial for some things and metric for others, uses Celsius.
i absolutely need a shirt that says “no, i’m not a gay. i’m THE gay”
