It probably helps them sometimes in exploiting people who have a close relationship with God, but are too trusting/naive to know they're lying sometimes. It's definitely not believable if you're smart and you know of scammers and their tricks, but an unassuming person who thinks they're acting in a biblical way will probably be less fortunate and fall for their evil tricks. Sucks that people resort to that to make a living instead of doing honest work and not exploiting the poor people who do fall for that.

I think the scammer meant, "the so-called." Oftentimes non-native English speaking individuals will substitute words phonically. I once worked for a Swiss gentleman who pronounced "does" (as in, "he does it") like "doughs" (as in, "does, some deer, some female deer"), but always spelled it as "dose" when he wrote it down, adding to the confusion (and a substantial amount of work editing the indecipherable nonsense on his website).
Also them constantly insisting that they are elderly, because they know that the only people who fall for these obvious scams nowadays are vulnerable elderly people who don't know much about computers, and they're trying really hard to be a hello fellow -young- old person.
I cannot explain why but the way this guy reads the emails, it is like I am being read a nice story. He must be a proffessional Audio book reader. priceless. I believe in John Warosa/Barosa
@@lodyb Sounds like a recommendation to me :) Never actually read the book, I might just do that later. I may laugh in inappropriate places because I imagine Alex talking to a scammer or vice versa ^^

@@juliennepujol5586 That... makes a shocking amount of sense. I thought it was some affectation from whatever the scammer's first language was that they just brought directly over into English.
This video (and channel, honestly) was one of the few places that I could keep counting on to de-stress when things got really tough during the Covid years. Atomic Shrimp's brilliant commentary, plus a criminally good song, all in one video?! If I couldn't physically sit down and watch, I could lift my spirits thinking of that 5-star, S-tier melody. Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos, they spark so much joy and laughter. I'm thankful that I can rewatch this and be here to witness more of your scam-baiting adventures, and whatever other cool topic you decide to post about, too. You're the best, Atomic Shrimp!
But doesn't being trustworthy already imply that you are worthy of being trustworthy, therefore making the sentence worthy of conveying trustworthiness without the second worthy?
I am warning you. There is no soul called Mr. Barrister Jonh Warosa, I do not know him, thiss is a warning. Do not comunicate with anyone but Mr Hassan, we are an elderly and do not play dirty games, were old men not bois and now our left from our right.
Where did he learn English? The 12th century? "The soul called John Barosa." Who calls people souls? I pray that yonder harlot doth maketh haste onto my dingus.
He the is using the google translate from a the of a l different language the obvious the yes of using the translate so do no transfer your money to wrong the account do not transfer the payment on his instruction this evening Sorry, was listening to the video...
I think he doesn't even know English, most mistakes are the likes of Google translate, for example the words self and soul are the same in Arabic, so he meant no one/self like j. Warosa, and because of some uniquenesses of Arabic grammar the noun and adjective forms of a word can be written the same, and google translate does not really understand context in lesser used languages
It's actually a very smart part from the scammers, by making those grammar/vocabulary mistakes they make sure only the most gullible will be baited and filter out those who are too critical about the details of the "transaction"
Jesus, even the scam's setup sounds illegal. Who will they fool by saying "join me and give me some money and I will help you _steal a dead man's money"_ Like, that's just a bad scam. A terrible con. Mediocre. Poor script.
Scamming technique that makes it being really shady and under the table seem legit. If I tell you it’s a lottery or a prize or some shit, it doesn’t make sense that it’s just one random dude emailing me. If I tell you it’s an opportunity for a secret illegal deal, the shadiness makes sense
I’ve finally discovered where the jingle came from!! Such a catchy ending to the tune, love it. Seriously though, I’ve only just discovered your various scam baiting videos and they’re incredibly addictive, and the way you so eloquently narrate the videos just adds to the experience. With all of the other scam baiting videos on RUclips that focus on dodgy international call centres running refund scams, your work reminds me of the very first scam baiting content I read on the internet some 20 odd years ago about 419 scam baiters who would convince their scammers to go to incredible lengths like getting tattoos to prove themselves. Love your work.
Next time you send a fake passport picture, ask for their I.D first then when you get a fake id, use the photo from what they sent you as the picture in the passport you send them and see if they notice.
I like how you even get the scammer to alternate between John Barosa and John Warosa. Also i can't read the "My friend listen to me I don't know what you are doing..." email wihtout hearing the song by the soul called Mr. Songwriter Eric Castiglia in my head now.
I have to imagine it is part of the culture where “Karim” lives, where age is revered and respected. He is going off of the assumption that that is enough to convince anybody that he is not lying
Just found your channel I can’t believe you hired someone to sing that email. That sent me 😂 thank you for wasting there time and bringing us such joy.
About the FAQs and the supposed wasting of time: besides the obvious benefits of unmasking a scammer and making him lose time, see how many people you've entertained! So many people all over the world laughing with delight at this crazy exchange! 'Congratulation" for this wonderful channel I've only discovered today, several years later
This got a like from me just because you use your friend's song in your outro in other vids. I'd always wondering if that was a legit song and wanted to look it up, as the song sounded like a conversation of sorts, so I wanted to know how the rest went. Now I do, and I love it.

I know, after hearing it 100 times.....................
I think the scammer meant, "the so-called." Oftentimes non-native English speaking individuals will substitute words phonically.
I once worked for a Swiss gentleman who pronounced "does" (as in, "he does it") like "doughs" (as in, "does, some deer, some female deer"), but always spelled it as "dose" when he wrote it down, adding to the confusion (and a substantial amount of work editing the indecipherable nonsense on his website).
Sounds like someone who's about to scam Jack Sparrow...
“I will not beg” scrolling across the screen during “I beg you” section of the song actually had me crying with laughter
I thought the same thing lol
Timestamp? I didn't see that lmao

I love how the email that you didnt even want to read out yourself has now become the scambaiting theme song on your channel.

Who is Ass Chamber? I am many confused.
It's a chamber full of ass whats so hard to understand about this
@@Spacious_Potato Why is that a thing? And more importantly, where did he get all those?
@@seminark from the ass store, obviously.
Mohammad and his ass chambers. 🙄
"you don't understand my English?" In fact I believe I unlearned english reading those e-mails.
Camila same, like how many f-ing commas do you need in one email. Their grammar so baaaaaad lol
Se comprende. It's like when I played with Guitar Hero... I had to stop before it might screw up my chops for real stringed instruments.
@@Apple-tz6hs commas are difficult for a foreigners like me. every damn language has unique set of rules about them!
@@f0kes32 yeah I totally agree with you there :)

The song was GOLDEN. Thank you for the amazin content. May the soul named Mr. Barrister John Barosa Warosa ever live on
"John Barosa is in fact myself."
What a plot twist.
In fact he is the 4 of them!
i still dont get it
And he is also the brother of Manuel, for he addressed him as "My brother"! The plot thickens!
Que dramatic music
He became the very thing he swore to destroy!
i was not expecting to read a scammer say “be mindful to who you are communicating with” with my own two eyes, this is gold
Oh my gosh, I know! I heard them read it out loud and in my head I was yelling, "oh, the hypocrisy!" 🤣
Also them constantly insisting that they are elderly, because they know that the only people who fall for these obvious scams nowadays are vulnerable elderly people who don't know much about computers, and they're trying really hard to be a hello fellow -young- old person.
Scammers be dumb as shit saying like "do not let other *fake* people contact you"
It's not gold, it's terrible grammar! Be careful with whom you are communicating, would be correct.....
I cannot explain why but the way this guy reads the emails, it is like I am being read a nice story. He must be a proffessional Audio book reader. priceless. I believe in John Warosa/Barosa
Who is John Barosa?
@@jjjackson5183 Ask Mr Karim, actually don't ,he doesn't know who John Barosa is either 😂
I just listened to Clockwork Orange on audible and its almost the same voice and dialect I am not joking
@@lodyb Sounds like a recommendation to me :)
Never actually read the book, I might just do that later. I may laugh in inappropriate places because I imagine Alex talking to a scammer or vice versa ^^
@@jjjackson5183 John Barosa (and at an extent, lets add John Warosa too) are scammers from a Previous Video
I love your videos so much sir. I know this is a couple years old at this point, but every so often I have to rewatch it lol. Thank you so much for all the laughs, and for the awareness you bring to this topic. I’ve had family members fall for something similar, and it means a lot what you do here. Thanks again, keep up the good work!
“I will not beg”
*proceeds to beg*
Mr Barrister John Barosa has the power to make any man crumble before him
@@Very.Nice. cause of those steam cards, right?
_its big beg time_
i wont beg. i will just ask 4825 times.
in the song email he even said literally "I beg you"
i like how you put “warosa” in the thumbnail but barosa in the title
Warbarosa
Bawosa UwU
I think they’re cousins or something they seem to work together though

Took me far too long to realize that by "the disease" the scammer was trying to say "deceased"
And by "this soul called Mister Barrister John Barosa " he meant to say the "so-called Mister Barrister John Barosa" 😂
@@juliennepujol5586 SO THAT'S WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO SAY LMAO. I couldn't believe he was willingly using the word soul to refer to a person.
@@juliennepujol5586 oh my god thank you i did not get it 😂
@@juliennepujol5586 That... makes a shocking amount of sense. I thought it was some affectation from whatever the scammer's first language was that they just brought directly over into English.
SAME!!! I was soooooooooooo confused then I said it aloud a few times and was like "Oh! Deceased. Yeah, he the one who _isn't_ understand English."
This video (and channel, honestly) was one of the few places that I could keep counting on to de-stress when things got really tough during the Covid years. Atomic Shrimp's brilliant commentary, plus a criminally good song, all in one video?! If I couldn't physically sit down and watch, I could lift my spirits thinking of that 5-star, S-tier melody. Thanks for the hard work you put into these videos, they spark so much joy and laughter. I'm thankful that I can rewatch this and be here to witness more of your scam-baiting adventures, and whatever other cool topic you decide to post about, too. You're the best, Atomic Shrimp!
"There's nobody like John Barosa."
I know, right? He's such a good guy. Like a man of God, really.
Some even say he's a reverand
Trustworthy worthy: worthy of being trustworthy.
But doesn't being trustworthy already imply that you are worthy of being trustworthy, therefore making the sentence worthy of conveying trustworthiness without the second worthy?

Where did he learn English? The 12th century? "The soul called John Barosa." Who calls people souls? I pray that yonder harlot doth maketh haste onto my dingus.
When he says "the soul called John Barosa" he means "the so-called John Barosa"
@@duffman18 Ah, that's it.
hahaha
He the is using the google translate from a the of a l different language the obvious the yes of using the translate so do no transfer your money to wrong the account do not transfer the payment on his instruction this evening
Sorry, was listening to the video...
I think he doesn't even know English, most mistakes are the likes of Google translate, for example the words self and soul are the same in Arabic, so he meant no one/self like j. Warosa, and because of some uniquenesses of Arabic grammar the noun and adjective forms of a word can be written the same, and google translate does not really understand context in lesser used languages
Dude, you should totally merch the John Barosa sayings. This could be the next viral sensation.
You are onto something, and I like it.
John Barosa the one TRUE BAROSA HIMSELF
Rev John Barosa,
Be rest assured...
Gotta work in the soul called Barrister John Warosa in there too.
@@mightymoose1158 LMAOO
I love the process here
“I don’t want to read this, what should I do?
I know! I’ll get someone to turn it into a SONG”
Unless it's a song about cutting wires.
The strange dialect of English that these scammers all seem to speak is so strangely poetic.
"I am happy to be an elderly man like you"
Roscoe Dash Do you think they use auto translation services? Or do they speak English, just not well?
so true 😂😂
It's actually a very smart part from the scammers, by making those grammar/vocabulary mistakes they make sure only the most gullible will be baited and filter out those who are too critical about the details of the "transaction"
Ozz Lee you could be right but also remember most of these scammers are not from well-educated/English speaking countries.
Make a shirt that says, "Be rest assured."

"Hello fellow elderly men!"
i'm loving this, i leave it running in the background while i prep cook or clean, and i was dying with the comeback of John Warosa
Jesus, even the scam's setup sounds illegal. Who will they fool by saying "join me and give me some money and I will help you _steal a dead man's money"_
Like, that's just a bad scam. A terrible con. Mediocre. Poor script.
Scamming technique that makes it being really shady and under the table seem legit. If I tell you it’s a lottery or a prize or some shit, it doesn’t make sense that it’s just one random dude emailing me. If I tell you it’s an opportunity for a secret illegal deal, the shadiness makes sense

@@karlsmith7016 which John was using the other John’s email I couldn’t remember the video 🤣
I’ve finally discovered where the jingle came from!! Such a catchy ending to the tune, love it. Seriously though, I’ve only just discovered your various scam baiting videos and they’re incredibly addictive, and the way you so eloquently narrate the videos just adds to the experience. With all of the other scam baiting videos on RUclips that focus on dodgy international call centres running refund scams, your work reminds me of the very first scam baiting content I read on the internet some 20 odd years ago about 419 scam baiters who would convince their scammers to go to incredible lengths like getting tattoos to prove themselves. Love your work.
"I will not beg"
*later sends email saying I beg you several times*
Next time you send a fake passport picture, ask for their I.D first then when you get a fake id, use the photo from what they sent you as the picture in the passport you send them and see if they notice.
I like how you even get the scammer to alternate between John Barosa and John Warosa. Also i can't read the "My friend listen to me I don't know what you are doing..." email wihtout hearing the song by the soul called Mr. Songwriter Eric Castiglia in my head now.
"sorry i was not able to reply quickly due to limitations of space and time" killed me 😭😭😭
Sounds like something out of "Back to the Future."
Manuel: Are you sure this is legal? Scammer: I AM OLD
@Seldon Deemer I am NOT a small boy

If he said he was a small boy, I would have gotten scammed cuz I'm way smarter than a dumb kid, how could a child scam me?

I have to imagine it is part of the culture where “Karim” lives, where age is revered and respected. He is going off of the assumption that that is enough to convince anybody that he is not lying
