You should call a scammer and use "scammer language" to speak with them. So, say things like "do one thing" or "each and everything". See if any of the smarter ones catch on!
Yeah it feels a little silly with other scam baiting channels telling scammers how they should stop their operations but then don't go and do anything about it. Sure, what Michael does results in less future resources for these videos, haha, but he actually acts according to what he says.
The entire commentary about your processor was hilarious. Nothing he was talking about made any sense from a computer savvy perspective, let alone for a layman. This is the tech equivalent of mechanic's shop drivel.
Each&Everything I know u like to show everything in raw footage, but if u add visual effects and background music and entree. I really like ur channel and want to see it succeed.
Been binging your videos for about a week now and I only just realised i hadn't subscribed yet. Scandalous! Subbed to you my friend keep up the awesome work!
Very nice name! and a great video as usual, gonna keep on spreading your content on forums and other sites to raise awareness & let people laugh at these weirdo scammers, Hopefully you'll get more subscribers! :D
That guy was f'n mad when you wasted his time to not get a dime and because he couldnt do what he said and make your computer basically useless lol. Great job bro. Im forever wondering how you get all of their info but just glad you do. I am forever getting scam calls at home for my wife about her computer or credit card interest reductions. You name it and Ive been called regarding it. So thanks......Keep kicking their arses and let me know if you ever need numbers..............................peace
I'm an residing Indian. Any help in exposing these scumbags here in India, please let me know. I can at least play a small part in preventing someone getting scammed. P.S. love your vlogs.
naveena what you will do macha, police mama wont help us wonly in credit call fraud and nigerian cases, how we will help americans ma? i feel the americans should try to make trump arm-twist our government (cyber crime branch) into acting on such scammers.
I'm totally confused by the technical end of this. I've never been "taken" because I recognize bullshit when I hear it, but nice to know someone can do these people real damage. Their outrage is quite funny to listen to. Great work!!!
I really don't know how scam baiters don't laugh out loud, you very rarely hear them quietly giggle but i couldn't stop myself laughing at the rubbish they spout :/
The tech doesn't charge you, but you have to buy a antivirus/firewall/whatever and of course you have to get that through them. Common tactic they use to make themselves sound like the good guy.
This dude is such a bad scammer, he didn't even explain why he wanted you to pull up the run box. There was no virus explanation or 'I'll need to be remotely connected to your computer to check it out'...just 'Do you see a CTRL key?'
With the "Secure Contexts" campaign to require "powerful" or "sensitive" web APIs to use HTTPS, it won't be long until a home server app to stream videos to other devices on a home network needs an SSL certificate to be able to use the Fullscreen API.
I was watching this vid when I got a call, from........ Microsoft Support .... I had paused the vid to answer the phone but when I realized who it was I turned up the volume and started playing it again... they seemed to get very upset then hung up, I did not even get to call them out as scammers but still was funny as hell
I'd be really interested to see what would happen if you played the role of an incredibly intelligent person who received the popup while researching some advanced physics or engineering project (maybe even "classified government research") and see if your intelligence with other subjects unrelated to computers is enough to intimidate the scammers into hanging up on you. It would also be hilarious to watch their attempts at relating to you personally with one of those subjects. I'm a Nuclear Engineer and I'm really tempted to try it if I can get some free time. "Uh yeah, so I work for the US government in the defense department in the US-India embassy and I was working on a project regarding the testing of new nuclear weapons technology using our new U-235 enrichment process near Dehli, India and I got this virus popup that told me to call here. Can you all fix my computer? I'm worried for the sake of both the US and India. If my computer is compromised by hackers it could result in those hackers getting the launch codes and potentially wiping out all of Dehli. Please help!"
bluesader8 Now that will make him crap his pants. In fact if that got out, every one in Delhi will crap their pants. Warning this next thing I'm about to say is racist, and I don't condone it, but there will be a lot of people who will be crapping. So many that the whole country of India might just smell better. Wow, that doesn't make me feel good at all, I better go somewhere to pray.
I'm thinking the page with the alert comes with the browser you use most frequently, so using Win+R (as in Romeo) forces the computer to use IE, thereby circumventing the "block" you have on your favorite browser.
Ugh I actually called them two times before this one and hung up and called back trying to get someone that didn't sound like they lived in a bee hive.
I love your videos; I miss the old format (Scammer Bingo, no intro with your face, etc.) please bring that back for a couple episodes instead of having all of them new :D
Michael, Try running the audio through something like Audacity and take a sample of an area where no one is talking and use that to clean up the audio... it was very hard for me to listen to due to all that noise, and I have very sensitive hearing, like I hear a blank screen that is on from 20 feet away from me sensitive and that can give me a headache, so this is so much worse on so many levels. Normally outside noises remove that effect those sounds have on me, but not when it is that loud.
Great work. You had him boiling at the first swear word. I feel like the payment companies don't want to do anything about it because these guys generate a huge amount of payments and if they terminate their accounts they'll lose that revenue. Maybe you should out these payment companies as well to let the public know they're not as honest as we think
I always laugh at the small handful of Indians that dislike these videos, you know business is slow and you are being effective when they are watching the vids.
You should call a scammer and use "scammer language" to speak with them. So, say things like "do one thing" or "each and everything". See if any of the smarter ones catch on!
Oh, and "r as in romeo"!
"smarter"
What I mean by that is the ones that are more human than the others. I never said they _were_ smart, because they're not.
that makes sense
"R as in Romeo" is according to the NATO phonetic alphabet, which is also used in radio communications.
"You got a very nice name, sir."
I love how you're not just screwing with them, and how you're actually trying to take them down (with a fair deal of success too)
Jeez the guy needs to leave the apparent swarm of bees he's standing in.
I appreciate your thoroughness and how you go and get these guys shut down.
Yeah it feels a little silly with other scam baiting channels telling scammers how they should stop their operations but then don't go and do anything about it. Sure, what Michael does results in less future resources for these videos, haha, but he actually acts according to what he says.
It literally sounds like he is farting quietly into the receiver for the whole call.
Lmao
Was that 3rd guy trapped in a well or something?
I know it's a bit extra work for eae but I enjoy seeing those little achievement unlocks pop up
No Achievements? :c
Awesome! Good to see Go Daddy is recognizing this problem. How come you don't make videos anymore? I seriously enjoy them.
The entire commentary about your processor was hilarious. Nothing he was talking about made any sense from a computer savvy perspective, let alone for a layman. This is the tech equivalent of mechanic's shop drivel.
That was the best part :) It was so funny.
I think you should have a lot more subscribers.
So do I! Lol
Each&Everything Haha.Good one.
Each&Everything I know u like to show everything in raw footage, but if u add visual effects and background music and entree. I really like ur channel and want to see it succeed.
No, you don't need any background music or visual effects. What you have is fine.
Maybe we can send out mailers a couple times a year.
Been binging your videos for about a week now and I only just realised i hadn't subscribed yet. Scandalous! Subbed to you my friend keep up the awesome work!
Where was the ''Windows Key + R'' achievment? Still a nice scam though!
Good work as always man.
nice work man, love ur vids .. Keep up the good work!
Very nice name! and a great video as usual, gonna keep on spreading your content on forums and other sites to raise awareness & let people laugh at these weirdo scammers, Hopefully you'll get more subscribers! :D

What were you doing when you received the message. As if it matters.
Do one thing...
I was tap dancing and eating a whole turkey while watching clowns playing in a curling tournament. Just a normal Friday Afternoon...
I love your videos. I think you do great work shutting these guys down.
Great job, as always!!!
On your keyboard at the lower left hand side _extreme_ corner
I'm totally confused by the technical end of this. I've never been "taken" because I recognize bullshit when I hear it, but nice to know someone can do these people real damage. Their outrage is quite funny to listen to. Great work!!!
instantly subscribed. kudos brother, keep fighting the good.
i love that the moving to superviser is just him closing his nose XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
I really don't know how scam baiters don't laugh out loud, you very rarely hear them quietly giggle but i couldn't stop myself laughing at the rubbish they spout :/
I love how he is not Even capable of deleting system32
Well not even recycling worked, because System32 was in use^^ i mean not beeing able to delete a single file is just sad
Didnt the first guy say they would do it for no charge?
The tech doesn't charge you, but you have to buy a antivirus/firewall/whatever and of course you have to get that through them. Common tactic they use to make themselves sound like the good guy.
ah ok
When I herd norton it's over lol
legend says that plane in the background of the scammer's mic never took off.
That damned Juice wirus again!
Great job man. You do good work.
Nice bit with the FAKE Flash upgrade! LOL OOOOPS!
Each&Everything: Well done!
as we are all aware hackers can hack our virtual machines now....by deleting a non existing sys32 mapp. What a time to be alive!
You gotta love the professional echo
2gb of RAM - "your computer is really very good sir, good for the next 5 yrs" LMAO
This dude is such a bad scammer, he didn't even explain why he wanted you to pull up the run box. There was no virus explanation or 'I'll need to be remotely connected to your computer to check it out'...just 'Do you see a CTRL key?'
Great job as usual!!! 👍🏼
thinking just a sec
am i very important that hacker stole my file at my computer, there are lots of other people that more important than me

Where are you?

I see your loopback ip is hacked, how original.
You called me bhosdike just now?
Proceeds to blow up your computer. lol
Thanks Michael.
3;16, damn you have some strength I would not be able to hold my own and I'd start laughing, call them a fucking idiot, then hang up and reset my VM.
It still baffles me why scammers ask you to launch a browser through Win+R. Maybe to make it look like they know what they're doing?
I'm thinking the page with the alert comes with the browser you use most frequently, so using Win+R (as in Romeo) forces the computer to use IE, thereby circumventing the "block" you have on your favorite browser.
That infernal buzzing! Are they sitting right next to a fan or something?
Ugh I actually called them two times before this one and hung up and called back trying to get someone that didn't sound like they lived in a bee hive.
Another scammer bytes the dust... good job! :)
Heh. "Bytes". :P Not sure if that was intentional!
Incinium probably was
I thought he was calling you a son of a gun
.
if your on a virtual machine and you connect to your wifi would they be able to see your ip?
Best scambater on youtube keep going !
great work shutting those benchodes down ..sadly they just reopen new but don't let that stop ya ..thanks
Hey, we have gave you the toll free number, and all the other stuff, right sir?! Oh yea right, you must be legit, my bad.
Hey Each&Everything, how would I check a history of a gmail account to see the same information as you did, I'm not sure on how to do that on WHOIS
I love your videos; I miss the old format (Scammer Bingo, no intro with your face, etc.) please bring that back for a couple episodes instead of having all of them new :D
Really enjoy your videos... but I just couldn't sit and listen to their lies for that long :)
Sir, thank you. THANK YOU!
Just found your channel. How come you stopped making videos!? Great content!
I wish you could talk to the scammers after you have reported them and gotten their site taken down to get their reactions
hey Michael, why don't you try to login on the VM with a guest account when you scambait and watch them try to syskey or delete system32? :)
Listen to those *frogs.*
I didn't know i7 is the "lettuce version."
Michael,
Try running the audio through something like Audacity and take a sample of an area where no one is talking and use that to clean up the audio... it was very hard for me to listen to due to all that noise, and I have very sensitive hearing, like I hear a blank screen that is on from 20 feet away from me sensitive and that can give me a headache, so this is so much worse on so many levels. Normally outside noises remove that effect those sounds have on me, but not when it is that loud.
lol m8
Maybe I'm missing something? This guy has gotten no achievements!
Excellent job and fascinating as well that you can throw a couple of Hindi insults back in their faces!
Is the channel Leo Takacs // scam baiting yours, too? Your voice is very similar
Why have you stopped making videos?
Headed to "faux news..." precious!
Great Video!
love your channel bro
Thanks!
Michael, why haven't you uploaded anything in over a year? We miss you!
real life hero's man that's all I got to say
Would love to see a vid showing how nasty they get when they have successfully syskey a computer. Has anyone ever done this?
Great work. You had him boiling at the first swear word. I feel like the payment companies don't want to do anything about it because these guys generate a huge amount of payments and if they terminate their accounts they'll lose that revenue. Maybe you should out these payment companies as well to let the public know they're not as honest as we think
"You've got a very nice name." Wha?????
"It was really nice talking with you, Michael." Wha?????

They are going to install SSL...what a rip off! I would demand at least TLSv1.2
I always laugh at the small handful of Indians that dislike these videos, you know business is slow and you are being effective when they are watching the vids.
