    *Afterthoughts & Addenda*
    *Monica's Voice* - this is my own voice recording, including some affectations to try to make my voice sound lighter, then run through Eleven Labs voice-to-voice changer (which preserves intonation and other aspects of the original performance)
    In case you're wondering why the change in style, it's because this was a DM conversation with the scammer, which is a series of back-and-forth short messages - if I tried to read this in the same style as I do for email conversations, half of the video would be "...said Monica", "...said the scammer".

      I've started using the small-boy gambit when fencing with what seems to be aggressive state-actor trolls on Quora. I had one such profile go dormant for a few weeks immediately after I asked if he was a small boy. When the profile started posting again, the operator had a somewhat different personality, so I was tempted to ask if he was now "a new boy."

    Man, after seeing so many of these scambaiting videos over the last couple of years i can instantly spot speech patterns and red flags. Like using "Am" instead of "Im", or ending sentences with OK, or obviously the grammar and spelling mistakes and being pushy or constantly giving orders

    • @nr289
      @nr289 8 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      The "am" and "ok" thing is a dead giveaway that you're talking to someone from West Africa, most likely Lagos Nigeria. As well as other things like spelling other as "order" as that's how it's pronounced with that accent.
