Drafting these emails at the same time, so they get sent relatively close together. Hmm. Even better if most of them share a last name, but at least one misspells it.
Do let us know if you try it, even if it doesn't yield entertaining results.
Great idea. When my husband gets telemarketer calls, he hands the phone to me and I pretend to be an old, very hard of hearing woman who is Russian, Irish, or a Dementia sufferer. Working on other accents and personas. My husband used to put his mom on the phone with them when her Altzheimer's was bad-- she loved those calls, they always made her happy. The callers, not so much.

Could you try convincing a scammer to type in all caps? It would force them to manually retype all of their initial copy.
"I'M SORRY, I CAN'T READ WHEN YOU TYPE SO SMALL."
#futurescambaitingideas - I love that one. Maybe I could try to convince them that I am colour blind and can't see black text
Absolutely looking forward to terribly formatted, 2003-era emails with wacky colors.
You can automatically turn text into caps just by putting it in excel or other stuff, so its won’t be as fun as it should be
@@AtomicShrimp im laughing so hard
@@heyyou9137 Perhaps, but the scammers aren't that high on the intelligence scale. Might be hard to find one sharp enough to think of that.
“No one is forcing you.” They just revealed that’s how they justify these acts in their mind. At least one of the ways.
Might also just be a strategy. People don't like being coerced into doing something. If someone tries hard to get you to do something, they come off as desperate and therefore their product is bad. If they only offer it, or even actually don't allow you to have it, it seems valuable. Like not being allowed into a club. Being rejected makes you want it.
It's a bit weird but that's human psychology, I feel. In my last job, I tried being forthcoming and approaching people and they didn't really respond well. Then the product was sold out and they got angry about not having been able to buy it. I always hated the lazy attitude of my co-workers but weirdly enough, the more you DIDN'T approach people, the more they wanted to have what you had.
So instead of going "i beg of you", they go "i wont beg lol" and your average citizen will start panicking, thinking they're losing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Slowly closing the gate is what "no one is forcing you" sounds like.
There was a cool word for that but I forgot. Effectively, we value the stuff that we can't have more than the stuff that we can have.
Yeah, about a year ago a guy from Belarus was trying to scam me via phone call. He tried to make me install TeamViewer so he could gain access to my bank account. I told him I know what's going on, had a friendly chat, and asked him: why are you doing this? His reply: if not me, someone else will do this anyway. So basically, they still have some conscience (at least some of them) but it seems they are able to silence it by repeating such meaningless crap to themselves.
While it doesn't justify them, I wish more people had that mindset, that they don't HAVE to spend money on ridiculous things they can't afford (whether they're scams or not) just because they heard an ad for it or because it's there. It's scary to me how careless some people are with their finances.
I love how you made Larry/Laryy paranoid that HE was the one being exploited over the internet. It was absolutely hilarious to see him get worried that someone had access to his emails

Please don't talk about the soul called John barosa I just had a trip with him last week at Cote D'ivorce
Hang on a minute! You mean you were married to John Barosa? When all the time he told me that I was the only one he would ever love & that the only reason we couldn't be together all the time was because there was no-one else to look after his dear old ancient grandmother! How many years were you married to him? When I think of all the times he stayed with me. All the meals I made him. All the wine I bought. All the mysterious packages he begged me to hide away for him, 'somewhere safe'. The odd friends he asked me to put up sometimes. The endless phone messages from John Warosa. All the money I lent him. Come to think of it, he has not been back for a week & he had a large bag with him when he left. I thought it was a bit odd. Do you know where he is now?

The nerve of these guys getting pissed at the people they're trying to scam... They really manage to convince themselves that what they do is legitimate and then get angry when their "work" is disturbed. That's some serious delusion.
They're not actually angry it is just a manipulation tactic. Certain people respond to other people's anger with submission because they are conditioned to do so.
@@shillinhite3911Then how do you explain meltdowns like the now legendary John Barosa song? Is that more manipulation?

I've a few tricks. One is to irretrievably mangle an address that they want something sent to or an account number, typically in a way that only a true dyslexic can manage.
For telephone/PC scams, I keep an old keyboard laying around to bang out their desired commands, then giving them errors that aren't Windows errors.

I think the different options for price might be a way to make the lower prices seem like a steal. Like, 400 dollars is crazy, but that 100 dollar shipping seems much more reasonable by comparison
That is very good point. I also think people might respond better to the choice than to a set fee, as it makes them feel like they have some agency and control in the matter.

I have a broken leg which has trapped me in my living room. Only distractions - (1) Work (2) games on my phone (3) Your scambaiting videos which catch my eye like a weevil on a countertop. I am so glad John Warosa is back. He is one of my favourite characters as he provides much confusion. I myself am apparently delinquent in tax payments and they will be shortly coming to arrest me (even though I have not moved from living room for over 1 month and press '1' as required each time.) So I press '1' and when a person comes on the line I ask them if their mother knows how they make a living? Which causes a hang up. I do not understand? And no one has come with handcuffs and orange jumpsuit yet. Though I wait each day rich in anticipation...
I also am liking the character that sounds like he is a mean cockney bloke. He sounds hard and I enjoy his comments and would like him to appear in more videos as he adds an element of confusion and anger and suspicion. Yes... suspicion.
BTW I think my final comment should be that I AM NOT a small boy.

OK.
If you haven’t already, when scammers ask for a delivery fee, ask for their address and say that you’ll send someone down to collect the “item”.
That's a good idea. I also like the idea of telling them you're already in the area and will not need a courier (because you flew there as soon as you found out you won maybe?)
Some scammers leave an address, and I was lucky to get a real one (some apartment complexes) on one of my first scams. I don't know if the scammer actually lives there, but I'm probably going to be like "I'd love to take a flight there and discuss this in person, but with covid and all…"
Me: **reads title**
Also me: I SHALL BE REST ASSURED!

I love the off-the-cuff branding made up to suit the scammers spelling errors. But even better is the fact that you go all the way through with them, like making PRANG! into an actual game or the fact that "Is it that you doesn't understand english?" is an actual shirt that people can legitimately buy.
Everyone has their own approach to making scambaiting interesting and personal, and I must say I love this style. Thank you for your dedication and great content, whether that be scambaiting, product reviews, your budget shopping series, rsiac, and so on. I know some people don't like the variety but I really do appreciate the content.
Best of luck to you during this time Atomic Shrimp.
Thank you for the Heart, much appreciated.
Even knowing better I can't stop having a momentary rush of greed when getting these. The human mind is amazing in it's ability to override the rational part of your brain when instant gratification teeters on the edge of the rush!
I love how different types of scams have different typical locations. When it's an email scam, it's probably Africa. When it's a tech support scam, it's probably India. And if it's a dating site bot it's probably Russian.
And if it's "legal" it's probably a western country.
No joke (ok semi joking but this next but isn't a joke) you should see my former employer (I daren't name them), It's a British company (sell within the UK). They target an older generation and the reviews online are terrible. They upset many people. I'm surprised they haven't been shut down yet or told to improve. It was hard to leave but I was with them a year.
So it's no surprise the elderly are the most likely to fall for scams, whether it's illegal or even "legal" (some things should not be legal). I've always been good to the elderly but my job made me appreciate what they go through even more.
And meanwhile over here in the US most of the scammers operating out of this hemisphere are fake warranty providers. I wonder if there's a particular reason some scams are more commonly run in some locations, I always assumed tech support scams are most commonly from India due to the prevalence of genuine tech support and call centers in that country, but the others I couldn't guess; maybe the email scams are more commonly from African countries due to being less resource intensive? They don't require as good of an internet connection, or synchronous communication with the victim.
@@asteroidrules Could be, those do sound like logical reasons

I think that they give multiple options to force you to pick the specific payment methods that they pretend are cheaper because these are the only accounts they really have, without letting it feel like you are being forced. If they gave you just one option and you are not familiar with the service, you would ask if there was another method. But this lets you know ahead of time that there are no other options, and gives you a reason to go out of your way to accomodate them, yet you would feel like you are 'winning' because of it. Offering the same product with different prices, is also a common marketing strategy to trick people into thinking that as long as they are picking the cheapest one, they are getting it at a good price.

“Maybe there’s someone behind you in disguise” Hahahaha
It actually feels like they've found some kind of loophole with those amounts of money. If you choose it yourselves you are the one deciding to send them money.
Yep, later on we get 'no one is forcing you' I honestly think they feel this morally absolves them
@@AtomicShrimp I think maybe it serves multiple purposes because it's also a common marketing tactic that if you offer multiple prices, the fact that there is a "cheapest" option increases the likelihood of people buying anything.
They may worry that people will think 600 is too much, and so by offering many options theyre increasing the odds that people will give them at least the cheapest option, rather than just flat refusing a single option they consider to be too much.
Atomic Shrimp it doesnt legally absolve them though, does it? since the pretext for sending the money is still deceitful i suppose
its possible they are under the false impression that it does remove legal responsibility if they arent the ones to force them into payment, even if this isnt how the law actually works
Oh, absolutely doesn't legally absolve them, but that's a moot point as they are pretty much beyond the reach of the law.
“Panic buying toilet paper and ibuprofen...” that line got me. 😂😂😂
Can’t wait for the film adaption of the John Barosa trilogy.
It’s John Barosa’s trilogy. He just lets John Warosa use it.
I wonder what the real John Barosa thinks about his newfound fame.
Same! I wonder if any scammers watch scambaiting videos? After all, that way they know what to look out for.
@@TheLostArchangel666 if they know they are being exposed at this point I think they do it just for fun.
Nils Vos If they’re too lazy to use spell check, they’re not going to do any kind of reverse research.
I’m kind of hoping that the other scammers know this guy and are actively distancing themselves from him thinking that he is trying to poach their victims. Lol
"Wait... that's illegal! >:C"
Tonight my spirit was going down a hill and then I came accross this, I couldn't imagine something better to cheer myself up! Glad to see you are still around mate!
That's why I am here. Very glad to hear you enjoyed it!
@@AtomicShrimp Its nice that you reply to people even during these hard times your videos are the one thing keeping me happy and sane, thanks so much!
"Cote D'ivorce" - love it 😂 that ad totally made my day
Looked quite nice actually.
You are so dry and yet so hilarious. Thank you for helping me pass the interminable hours of our lock-down.
I would take my ex-husband to Cote D’ivorce. There’s just one thing your missing. A cliff to push your newly-divorced partner off. Lovely review otherwise!
The implication that the video game Minecraft is not only capable of love but also legally able to marry and divorce someone is disconcerting.
This is what the professionals call “scam juggling”. At least I think that’s what they call it.
Ask Jeremy.

Jude: Larry is a scammer don't listen to him
John Barosa: Hold my beer
I think psychologically asking you to choose from a package of options makes you begin thinking about the best option and not thinking of it as a yes / no or fixed amount. I think salespeople use it during the close, so would you like to purchase at £499 or which package do you think would best suit you.
It’s a pricing psychology theory, I forgot the name though. Basically putting higher priced items next to lower prices makes the lower prices look better in that context. The cheapest shipping was more than $100 less than the most expensive which makes it more attractive.
RogueSaint88 I agree! That’s what I thought was happening - they’re putting different shipping prices together to make it seem that the cheapest price isn’t as expensive, compared to what it would look like if it was the only option.
I thank you for helping me understand that barrister and barista aren't the same thing, but they both love free wifi with a latte!
His name in emails he uses XD Mange Tout means in french: Eating Everything
Bonjour Jean-Francois, et Oui. 🇫🇷
Oui from Poland!
I didn't know that information!
I just read it as Man Get Out. 🤷🏼♂️
I read it mange trout for a while lol!
I love how these are now vehicles for typo comedy. Prang, Cote D'ivorce. Classic.
Love this guy he’s so genuine and he’s not fake he puts so much work into these videos he has a healthy balance of intelligence and jokes and his content is original and great ALSO he posts frequently
"i dont know them and i dont want to know them"
- obvilion
It's like Internet Historian took up scambaiting.
I'm obsessed.
Keep going, Atomic Shrimp.
Keep going.
I can't get over every time you say 'Jeffb Bezos'
"I wonder if that's the opposite of Gretna Green," fantastic. I feel for the non-UK viewers who won't understand that amazing joke
I so much did not understand the joke that I did not even understand the name, but not only I am not from the UK but also I am not a native English speaker.
be generous and explain please. :)
@@jayweh Gretna Green is a village in Scotland, near to the border with England. Historically marriage laws have been different in Scotland and England, I don't know the actual history but the joke/myth is that if you wanted to get married at 16 but your parents wouldn't let you, you'd run away to Gretna Green to get married because you didn't need permission. So Shrimp's joke implied that whilst Gretna Green is synonymous with starting a marriage, Cote D'ivorce is where you'd go to end one.
Gretna is also the city you enter when you cross the Mississippi River leaving New Orleans.
@@jacobscardino4330 irrelevant to the viseo though
When I see John Barosa, I click.
This is like a fantastic anime, Atomic Shrimp is the main character and John Barosa is his best friend/sidekick, I'm enjoying the arc so far, I wonder how it'll end?
crushbeast29 John barosa, the nemesis turned ally
John Warosa/Barosa, the Vegeta
I really like how he crated an entire universe with diffrent characters, who all have rich background history and lore. Personally i like the story arc of larry as he starts as a villain but as soon as he gets informed that his account might be hacked, he shows he soft side, showing us that not every scammer is pure evil.
*_"Cote D'ivorce - Arrive Together, Leave Apart"_*
Is simply the best tagline I've ever heard.
Mate, you are good. I never respond to emails but for phone scammers it's " I'm his dad, he died 2 days ago" or " I'm his brother and he is in prison.. for murder" or just the plain old "Fuck off". Atomic Shrimp has got it down to an art. John Barosa/Warosa is LEGEND.
I think a great challenge to try would be getting a scammer to admit they’re a scammer, maybe tugging on the heart strings or scaring them enough
Scammers dont have hearts scammers dont have brains fear originates in tbe brain.
@@colewilder7353 very true
I absolutely love your voice. You have the dryest and most pleasant humor. I could seriously listen to your voice all damn day.
That Cote Divorce segment was amazing. It sounded like an actual add
“The one United Nation cause you can’t get much more united than that”
Dude this is why I love these videos
The legend of John Barosa! I kinda want to write a story about him
John B(W)arosa fanfiction! Yes! Hook me up with that shxt! 😃
I’d read it, LMFAO
@@WxIxLxLxIxAxMxS I wrote some John Barosa fanfiction (only a few paragraphs) a little while ago and sent it to some scammers and put it on Reddit.
The Cote D'ivorce skit should be a standalone Netflix show
If you write the script, Netflix will buy it. Just watch the Rick and Morty episode/documentary on the subject. Uh, that's actually not a good suggestion, turns out R&M is fictional, so I don't know if Netflix will really buy anything.
You have, by far, the funniest and most entertaining scam-baiting videos on RUclips. If I ever need to use an assumed name, it'll be "John W. Barosa."
The "W" stands for "Warosa." 😆
I would have gone with John B. Warosa.
@@jesussaves6625 Or he could alternate between the two whenever asked about his name
I love how most of these scambaiting vids start with OK in their titles, to give tribute to the first scambaiting video
Congrats on 500K my faithful forever giving YT companion, thank goodness for your mind and energy. to 500K more, cheers 🎉
