I thought the same thing. The dude clearly had worked for many years at one of these phishing firms and was upset that his career choice was being openly mocked.
I like how TED talks are meant to be life changing advice, but their most popular video is a British guy pranking someone on the internet into telling him he will “submit fizzy cola into a caseberry creme egg.”
I had a phone call asking me to buy a security system. I asked them how well it could keep people INSIDE. The guy got very nervous and hung up on me. I called him back.
Maybe get two going and then give each one the other's email address, asking to be CC'd. Could make up some story about why your friend should be brought into it. It wouldn't be good as the pizza delivery trick where you call two at once and put them on the phone with each other, but if you get the right scammers it might go well.
@ Burrito: Happened a few years ago. One side was selling counterfeit artwork as genuine, and the other paid for it with counterfeit money! : ) www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/con-mens-attempt-to-sell-forged-goya-painting-backfires-when-they-are-paid-with-fake-money-10063027.html
James Veitch , Seeker of toasters, Protector of Hummus, Keeper of bathroom ducks, And the nemesis of spammers, And also the person to place orders of bouncy castles at Safemart.
Give your email and I'll be the spammer lmao d'you want 69, 420 million worth of diamonds? I'd surely need your help so just create a bank account where you'll have to put only 100 USD and I'll assure you if you put the pass to the account, I'll give it by the next day
imagine being solomon and actually working for a company that casually ships gold to random people. and showing up to the board meeting with that chart
@tomadams9656 no I didn't. Where? (and even if somebody made a similar comment... It wouldn't be that much of a coincidence. The joke practically writes itself)
This guy is a genius. Not only did he reply to spam, but presented the results hilariously. Such a short talk, but it’s one of the most-viewed Tedx Talks. Absolutely fantastic!
@user-zg5ey5xo9i Most ppl don't think about whether or not it is or isn't fake, but rather assume it is real. All because these stories seem too ridiculous to be made up ;)
A scammer called me once and when I realized it was a scammer, I said, oh, you're probably looking for my mom... I gave him the phone number for the local police department
I got a scam caller asking for my mom BY NAME which was weird, but then I fake cried and told them she had died. The guy on the other end went "Oh, I'm so sorry" and they never called us again.
+Alvin Cornelius You might want to check out Dave Gorman. He's a british comedian who does similar harmless things like this and this whole talk really reminded me of him. He has a really funny show called modern life is goodish if you can find it anywhere.
Christopher Barton By the wrong place I mean spam lists, which get you"Free Medicare!!!". If it's a spoof email, you wont have to worry about those getting in the way of work email and whatnot.
I seen this recommended for a week now and I was gonna watch it but held off because I didn’t feel like seeing a presentation on scam emails just right now. I was like maybe one day I’ll watch it. I decided to finally give it a go and it’s freakin hilarious and genius. Not what I expected, I thought it was a serious education thing, but it’s not. This guy is the real OG Troll. It’s so cleaver I couldn’t stop laughing. Brilliant. 🤣👌
Whoever watched this... A. Probably had an assignment for school. B. Was recommended for you. C. Someone sent it to you. Either way the best video I saw despite the year being 2020.
@Sk79576 I'm not.... however I got it from Wikipedia.... birthday April 1, 1980....so maybe it is a joke! I was surprised too as you are right...he doesn't look that old. 🤷
I legitimately thought this was going to be a serious video about the bad effects of responding to spam emails but I was pleasantly surprised by a hilarious video wth
I have been using Signal Private messenger for almost two years and it never disappoints, i keep reading about stuff that how secure the signal private messenger is. Recently they have extra level of security called sealed sender which is very unique and Signal messenger is first and only messenger to offer such kind of extra layer of security.
Akira Menai Technology, *ENTERTAINMENT* and Design. That’s what TED stands for. This is *ENTERTAINING* to people. Therefore it does mean something to the people who enjoy it.
I got a totally legit email recently from Jackson Josh from Washington saying that he went to Africa and found $2.5 in my name and it's now in the United Bank of Africa waiting for me. One problem though, I live in the UK.
7:10 I'm convinced that Solomon is sitting between the guy with the red shirt and Next to the guy with the Glasses. He is just staring up at the stage, while everyone else is laughing.🤣🤣
@Jax-go9es A bunch of women he went to college/uni with accused him of rape. Not even just coercive stuff, like literally physically overpowering them.
Somewhere in the world Solomon is feeling betrayed.
That place is Ghana... I can tell by his surname
666 likes... Imma ruin it
777 likes i gotta keep it the same
@arcane_ironic same.... But you know somebody will eventually ruin it haha
Wow 1,6 K likes? I’m a superstar!
This guy is a genius. Not because of his clever replies to scam emails, but because he did stand-up comedy and made people believe it was a TED talk.
My thoughts exactly. I always read the comments bf I comment so I'm not wasting ppls time reading a repetitive comment. 😂
If you liked that, look up some Dave Gormon, that's his whole schtick.
But TED stands for Technology, ENTERTAINMENT and Design
@ar-jariado90 Yeah that's true
I was wondering if I was just going mad.
My brother got a text from a scammer so he spoiled endgame for them
What a monster
Lel
Madlad
xD serves the scammer right.
This made my month
That is so awesome.
At 7:10, if you look closely, you can actually spot Solomon in the audience. He's the only one not laughing.
I thought the same thing. The dude clearly had worked for many years at one of these phishing firms and was upset that his career choice was being openly mocked.
Imagine people on the internet labeling you a scammer, all because you weren't smiling. 💀
Should be top comment
He misses getting emails from his kitkat
Nah I think it’s more like the guy having deep admiration or respect for him or something.
Solomon: Entered the chat.
James: Call me Kitkat.
Solomon: Left the chat.
Super fun

Cause iiiiiiim so in looooove with youuuu
Solomon is there in the audience @ 07:09

"Solomon, if we're going to do it, let's go big."
The amount of sarcasm in there had me choking
I am dirty minded from that lol

This escalated real quick-

James: Hold my hummus
Anirudhh Raghavan I guess, but what if they already watched Endgame?
*Mission failed. We’ll get ‘em next time!*
@redbrixanimations watching endgame spoils the whole movie.
Mmmmm hummus is sooooo good
Red Brix Animations spoil the emoji movie then
@redbrixanimations
Spoil the newest/recent movies to them oof
I like how TED talks are meant to be life changing advice, but their most popular video is a British guy pranking someone on the internet into telling him he will “submit fizzy cola into a caseberry creme egg.”
we British are good
Caseberry 😂😂😂
32 is the record for inserting creme eggs
He is a cruel individual making fun of poor people omline.
What matters at end is the result: I will always remember this talk now.... AND I will begin demotivating scammers myself. And have fun!
Be honest we all didn't expect it to be this entertaining
True! I don't even know why I clicked on it but I'm glad I did lol
I most certainly did not, but enjoyed it...right til the end.
twuue lmao
I was expecting to be very disappointed, but for some dumb reason I watched it anyway

Boss Cuchilain excellent! I’d be afraid even if I wasn’t a telemarketer, just by hearing this. 😱
😆 ✌️
hahahahahahaha that killed me
Oh that's sweet. :)
Seriously laughed for 10 minutes. Told my grandson, and together we laughed for another 10 minutes. Great wit!
Plot twist: Solomon was actually going to ship gold.
Imagine
Aww such a cute lil man on your pfp 😍
Instead he shipped gummy bears.
@minseokjang1566 XDDDDDDDD
Plot twist: I actually wasted my time watching this 😂

Still makes me laugh
It was taken down?

Edit.: Proof below how there are always idiots offended by literally anything
Too bad that's not the case, he's just a corny comedian.
I have one of these qualities. Can you guess which one?
How is he a 'massive nerd'? Because he has glasses?
So someone who wears glasses is considered a nerd?
@alidavid234 no, it's because he seems like a fucking nerd lol.

Get two scammers to try to scam eachother
Burrito Wyrm how?
Maybe get two going and then give each one the other's email address, asking to be CC'd. Could make up some story about why your friend should be brought into it. It wouldn't be good as the pizza delivery trick where you call two at once and put them on the phone with each other, but if you get the right scammers it might go well.
the winner gets to live

Those 31k dislikes are from fake accounts created by Solomon
Lol underrated
Siraj Khalil hahaha Solomon is really piss right about now
Not mine. It’s only a little bit funny, and hardly material for a TED Talk.
hhhk20 it’s a comedy skit, get your panties out of a bunch😂🤣
Thats so correct
A scammer called me once and when I realized it was a scammer, I said, oh, you're probably looking for my mom... I gave him the phone number for the local police department
Random Dragon Furry Random Dragon Furry, I’m not sure if you’re real!
I got a scam caller asking for my mom BY NAME which was weird, but then I fake cried and told them she had died. The guy on the other end went "Oh, I'm so sorry" and they never called us again.

Michael Simmons I never received a spam Email, but I wanna do the same thing. How?
MrDialga34 But mustn't you use a spoof email to prevent your email from appearing in the wrong place?
Thegamingmuffin if it's your spoof email, then it is still your email.
Christopher Barton By the wrong place I mean spam lists, which get you"Free Medicare!!!". If it's a spoof email, you wont have to worry about those getting in the way of work email and whatnot.

Guff HEY there are more Brits out there who are way more of a pure blood of a Brit!

@Costa del Artlepool how old do you have to be to be a veteran? He's 40... technically old enough to be a grandpa.
Sweet Missy Petunia Wilson 40 are you kidding me, wow he doesn’t look 40, he looks a bit younger😂😭
@Sk79576 I'm not.... however I got it from Wikipedia.... birthday April 1, 1980....so maybe it is a joke!
I was surprised too as you are right...he doesn't look that old. 🤷
No one searched for this but we all enjoyed it
I did

Why cant my teacher show us ted talks like this instead of boring ones
Dirtymax 2oh9 same oh my god
Because this is just standup comedy.
Not that insightful. Yes funny, but not that insightful.
@jeltje50 ...and this is why I stopped watching or listening to TED talks. I can revisit the old ones just fine, but the new ones are just garbage.
My drama teacher actually showed us this in class
My English teacher showed us this one!
Everyone is talking about Solomon sitting in the crowd well.....here he is-
6:43
I knew it!
LMFAO
So Ted Talks are for stand-up too? lol neat
Laugh is how one can share the wisdom easily :)
Music sometimes as well
That's exactly what I thought watching this as well! Mind you, I loved it...

8:36 this feels.. quite mesmerizing...
Is this a Mezmerizer reference?
@Lurawolf12-zo4wgy , es !
Plot twist: Solomon was actually him and he was replying to himself.
Didnt think of it that way.
The way that Solomon’s last email had like every single word from the code I think that that might be possible.
@5eriously148 Definitely. Like I saw this sketch a couple of years ago and loved it, but now I'm watching it again I'm like; that was so convenient.

It's absurdly hilarious.
I love how he smiles when people laughs at his jokes
Yeah, i agree. He made this video fun to watch! 😀👍
I didn’t know what I was expecting with this but I’m dying laughing

Chogiwhat is love same
I have been using Signal Private messenger for almost two years and it never disappoints, i keep reading about stuff that how secure the signal private messenger is. Recently they have extra level of security called sealed sender which is very unique and Signal messenger is first and only messenger to offer such kind of extra layer of security.
So you obviously realized that TED videos can be crap, as this means nothing.
julia robbinson go away bot, no one will get your products and no one likes you
Akira Menai Technology, *ENTERTAINMENT* and Design. That’s what TED stands for. This is *ENTERTAINING* to people. Therefore it does mean something to the people who enjoy it.

I got a totally legit email recently from Jackson Josh from Washington saying that he went to Africa and found $2.5 in my name and it's now in the United Bank of Africa waiting for me. One problem though, I live in the UK.

It's a marketing video for people to look and reply into spam email so the people who make spam emails make $ and people get MORE spam emails.

I'm convinced that Solomon is sitting between the guy with the red shirt and Next to the guy with the Glasses.
He is just staring up at the stage, while everyone else is laughing.🤣🤣
I need to engage in this could learn something here
James why not spend your cut on rubber ducks.
YES! xD

This guy should just be a standup comedian.
DrCalviny pretty sure he is
So he isn't ?
Pretty much stole Dave Gorman's whole act, Dave Gorman is a comedian, this dude is thief.
systemsmoke Rubbish. Stylishly similar, but both with unique material. James has even mentioned Dave in his act.
Георгий Ильюшин the irony of seeing a spam post on this video
I imagine Solomon as an 8 year old and when he had to go to beds it's because his mom was yelling at him that it's past his bedtime
not sure you've met an 8 yr old if you think they can talk like that.
I don't know why but can't stop laughing.

I've done this before... It was awesome. I gave him my 'personal phone number' which just so happens is the same as the DC fraud hotline for the FBI.
Oh my Lord! I must know more!

My favourite TED talk was "Don't leave your drink unattended around James Veitch"
can i have some context
@Jax-go9esyeah.....he's a creep. Lots of accusations
@blinard1oh :(
@blinard1innocent until proven guilty. But the amount of accusers and his silence since are pretty damning
@Jax-go9es A bunch of women he went to college/uni with accused him of rape. Not even just coercive stuff, like literally physically overpowering them.
