Thank you for always saying "information you should never give to a stranger" I often hear this phrase in my head when I receive dodgy messages and calls! ❤
Me too! Lol! I watched so many of Atomic Shrimp's video that it's now printed into my brain. XD! Let's file that under the educational aspect of this channel.
The GDPR request was like a memory wipe and seemingly the scammer switched to a different scam afterwards. I wonder if they genuinely got scared and deleted your emails so when you once again replied they had forgotten what scam they were doing with you.
These videos are so silly and fun! I belive you are entitled to call yourself "professional infuriator." We are lucky that you use these powers for good hahahaha
Thanks to you, I've begun employing the Small Boy Gambit in online games whenever one of my teammates gets mad that we're losing. "You guys" "Automic Shrimp is mad" (I make it a point to misspell their name) "He must be a small boy" It usually doesn't make them less mad, but it does make a losing match more entertaining.
I was wondering when we'd see another scam. Also, this is the most flawless channel. Came for the scams, stayed for the various hedge row jams... Thank you for being you, man.
Mike's been saying that scambaiting is getting increasingly difficult to initiate. I'm wondering if scammers are too aware of scambaiters now and have started changing tactics to avert getting dragged into conversations that go nowhere.
RUclips at one point was really adament that I watch one of the scambaiting videos a few years back. But now I seem to prefer the jams and walks and food challenges. I guess a variety channel kinda works really well.
Recently had a scammer reach out to a family member. We had posted 2 dogs that had escaped to an online regional pet locator group and the scammer called them saying he was "Officer Armstrong" and that he had the 2 dogs. But the location he gave was about 30 miles away yet the dogs had only been gone for about 15 minutes. He followed with that he needed to send a "confirmation code" to verify that "we were real and not scammers". Of course the confirmation code would likely be some kind of account password reset code, and I told the family member to not communicate any further with this person. The dogs were eventually located by someone a few streets away.

ikr. I can't support their actions but seeing how they live I can understand why they chose it. Comparatively, even a working class American usually lives in better conditions. I can see how they could come to resent those who they see as living comparatively like kings, enough to justify theft and fraud. It only makes it worse that even a lot of people in first world countries don't fully appreciate how most others in their country live. A lot of the stuff you see on TV and social media is only representative of the upper middle class and upper class of the wealthiest countries, which probably only makes the class divide feel even greater when you're at the bottom. If you live in a rusty shack in a third world country, why wouldn't you steal from the Kardashians if you have the opportunity? Hell, if they _were_ stealing from only the upper class, I wouldn't care at all. Most of the wealth owned by the upper class is itself stolen from workers or subsidized by tax money after all. But they don't. They disproportionately steal from people who are also struggling to make ends meet. They don't hit the wealthiest people, because even if the rich people themselves are gullible, they have people to watch their money and vet correspondence _for_ them. Truly, the only way to fight crime is to fight poverty. It won't abolish all crime, but if people have a modest, but comfortable standard of living and the income gap is quashed, I think crime will naturally plummet. We can do it, we just don't. Instead we hand money hand over fist to the richest of the richest so they can take their private jet to get lunch in Paris or buy $20,000 scarves or whatever. Its disgusting.
@@SilverDragonJay yes. I agree with so much of what you are saying. I wish I could be able to help others, unfortunately I can't help even myself and it doesn't matter that this realisation feels like a terrible defeat. As Mr. Mike, said, it makes me too feel bad for the state of the world and the human condition.
The Baldrick reference!! I was listening to the video in the background, so rather than seeing the icon, it took me by complete surprise XD Your sense of humour and wit is on-point as always, Atomic Shrimp =)

I was watching a playlist of all the Scambaiting you’ve done while I was doing things around the house and by the end of the playlist I felt like I was going absolutely insane from all the broken English and the illogicality of the conversations.
I've been on this channel ever since the very first scambaiting video "Just say okay" was recommended me to RUclips. So I've simply been watching them as they came out. I can not even imagine trying to marathon these, that might certainly mess with one's mind.
I worry that someday a very rich influencer will run an "I pretend to be a scammer but I actually am giving out a large amount of money" video which goes viral and then a load of people start taking these scams seriously because of it.
Honestly, I once thought that whenever I am rich I'll try finding Atomic Shrimp's scambaiting e-mail address just to send a short e-mail asking only for the information required for real transfer and telling I'm going to send him money.
I got a pretend talk talk man get so upset , he literally screamed down the phone at me. I pretended to be an old lady with short term memory problems and he had to keep repeating and repeating everything. I didn't have to fake too much, as I'm 71 with occasional memory lapses 😂.
I'm in Australia so the only topic I wanted to talk about the last time a scammer called me was the world cup final. I'm just concerned that people so busy with their work might not be kept abreast of current events
I've sent a new credit/debit card to my wife while she was with her family because her current card was about to expire and DHL accepted it - I'd checked with their UK customer service team who told me it would be okay and what rules to follow. The rules have probably changed now.
I don’t care at all if they don’t go anywhere - the way you read them is just so entertaining. My favourite is always the “seventy-five dollars dollars U.S. dollars” ones.
You know, channels like yours inspired me years ago to start messing with those lovely (sorta-legitimate) business emails at work. It's fabulously amusing to goad them into a lengthy presentation, or even flying out to meet you, and then just ignore them. The amount of sheer rage is rather invigorating.
For that FBI one that said there was a file on you and similar ones in the future it would've been hilarious if you asked to see proof of the file they had on you. Then they might have wasted time trying to doctor some sort of fake file. Might be some potential there to waste the scammers time
Feels more likely they would just give up at that point (the only time I remember him managing to get custom-made fake documents from a scammer was after a very tedious back and forth with an absurdly persistent scammer in one of the John Warosa videos)
I appreciate you repeating the "you know, the kind of details you should never share...". I know it now, but there will likely be a time when I don't have it in mind, and the memory of you saying it might trigger at an important moment.
I was disappointed to find out that GDPR is a real thing. Taunting a scammer with fake regulations seems like the sort of thing to throw at them every once in a while.
8:22 that number is $260 Quintillion (1 Quintillion is 1000x more bigger than 1 quadrillion, which in turn is 1000x bigger than 1 trillion) or in math terms $2.6 x10^20. Put another way, that sum is equal current worldwide GDP per year, over 2.795 million years!
I can see how someone might fall for these scams if they were ripped off before. Thanks chatbots for making it easier for them to put these letters together
Funny, interesting, educational, but a bit concerning that this scammer seemed more grammatically correct. The conversation wasn’t as obviously nonsensical as usual. Hope people don’t fall for this one. Really enjoy the litany: “you know, the kind of information that you shouldn’t share”. It’s popping up in my head every time I watch a scambaiting video. Makes me smile, but your repetition of this mantra is effective and I’ve shared it with everyone I could.

This has meant important missed information (parcel delivery, taxation, etc.), but there is at least one obvious scam message per day. Thankfully, they are aware and alert. Thanks so much for sharing the truth behind these attempts to rob the innocent ❤❤
Sitting at breakfast at a Premier Inn in Oldham Central (up here for work) and struggling to maintain any form of dignity from laughing so hard… The deadpan reading of the emails is just gold 👏🏻

Lmao, when they said, "let me know if you have any questions" I just laughed. The scammer will definitely regret saying that to Mike!

You have an uncanny knack of making me feel almost sorry for the scammers because your emails are that infuriating. It is fantastic
Here’s an idea for this type of scammer: pretend you are (or were) very wealthy and that the amount on offer wouldn’t even cover what you lost
I thought along those lines. "Name?" "Donald Trump."
"please can you try explaining in a way that helps?" is devastating.
The GDPR request was like a memory wipe and seemingly the scammer switched to a different scam afterwards. I wonder if they genuinely got scared and deleted your emails so when you once again replied they had forgotten what scam they were doing with you.

11:43 Thank you for the Blackadder nod :)
Thank you for explaining that part! I did not recognize Baldrick before I found your comment. 😀
Ah wonderful, I'm always glad to see these pop up in my feed.
It's always a good day
12:26 "thanks for your anticipated understanding" is such a funny thing for them to say lmao
I've been giggeling along, such fun to listen to your correspondance
😂😂😂 nearly choked on my tea at the Black Adder referance 💖
Always a fun time watching you make scammers rage quit.
Truly, thank you for your service! It seems like such fun to toy with them, yet this particular scenario must also undoubtedly be a successful ploy for the scammers, even with all the 🚩🚩🚩. My parents, aged around 70, living in Canada, simply don't answer the phone anymore unless it's a known number. This has meant important missed information (parcel delivery, taxation, etc.), but there is at least one obvious scam message per day. Thankfully, they are aware and alert. Thanks so much for sharing the truth behind these attempts to rob the innocent ❤❤
One of the best episodes so far. I had so many laughs. Keep it up 🔥
God I love shrimps baiting videos so much. You’re a blessing pal ❤
Sitting at breakfast at a Premier Inn in Oldham Central (up here for work) and struggling to maintain any form of dignity from laughing so hard…
The deadpan reading of the emails is just gold 👏🏻
Daaaamn, my mans went with: The Small Boy Gambit.
Very clever... ;)
Love you channel/work, Mike.
The "small boy" reference always makes me LOL. Lovely work sir.
Be rest assured! Your name was detected.
You are relentless! Beautiful!
😂😂😂😂😂 *I seem to remember there was some confusion about this earlier*
So hilarious!!!! 😂
So funny, love it when you make them mad😂. Sitting here in fits of giggles, cheers😂
I love that you still use that song for the outro 😂❤
Nice use of Baldrick and Black Adder at 12minutes
Thanks for your vids, love the scambaiting 😊
That little image of Baldrick really caught me off guard.😂
I love these. A good laugh is good for the mind and body. Thanks again.
Much love to you Mike. Thanks for the entertainment.
I think this is just what I needed today, thank you
Love the Blackadder 'When did the war start?' reference, and Baldrick :D
I can't believe how much you've grown! I blink and you go from 30k to almost a million 🎉
It’s been a while glad scam baiting is back
Been missing uploads because the algorithm is awful but i'm glad you're still using Soul Called John Warosa
Yay another scambaiting video! I do love your other videos too, these are just my favourite. 😁
the prose and cons of scambaiting... great video
