I love talking to scammers. I’ve been doing it for years. I get comfortable and then agree to everything they say. I order multiples of whatever they’re “offering” and get ALL the upgrades and extras. I’ve even put one of them on hold for 5 minutes while I made a coffee. After I’ve agreed and bought everything they’ve said to buy they then ask me for my details and in my sweetest most annoying voice I can muster I answer all their pleas with one word. A slightly drawn out “nooo”…every time they ask. I’ve learnt all the swear words as they realise that I’m just screwing with them for my own amusement and start trying to upset me. I just laugh as all I hear are the sounds of victory. 😁

Not email related, but one of the BEST things you can do for phone scams is play dumb as long as you can and keep those shmucks on the line as long as humanly possible. The longer they're on the line with you, the less people they can call and scam that day. I kept one on the phone for thirty minutes once, and there was nothing more satisfying.

I used to do it a bunch where I'd go along with it but pretend I was a young teenager. The amount of times it'd come to them asking for my card details and when I would say "I don't have a bank, I'm not old enough to open one yet" they'd just encourage me to borrow my parent's card is ridiculous. I started playing along and coming up with more and more elaborate ways I was trying to find my parents card - explaining Home Alone-style traps I encountered along the way until they eventually got the hint, got mad at me and hung up. Absolutely zero remorse.
I shared this video with my dad and he tried OK on the next scam telephone call he received. The scammer quickly lost patience, called my dad a name and hung up. My dad is 78 and retired and he annoys scammers for fun.
I enjoy the car warranty scams. When they ask me what car i have i say rolls Royce phantom or Bugatti veryon ( not sure the spelling) they hang up automatically
Yeah I got one of those scam calls from the "police looking into fraudulent activity on my ss#" I answered with hello Officer Scammer, which she proceeded to try and tell me I was on recording and they were taking note of everything I was saying. So I just kept saying OK for like 2 mins.
I got to witness my grandpa messing with a scammer just a few days ago. I was thrilled, because I do the same thing and had never seen that side of him! They called my great-grandmother’s phone and she answered on speaker. My grandpa’s eyes lit up and he says “oooh that’s for me” and snags her phone. When they came on the line he imitated his voice and it was the funniest thing I had seen in a long time. We were all dying of laughter! I’m so glad I’m not the only one who enjoys wasting scammers’ time.

I love this so much. All scammers make my blood boil knowing they're taking advantage of other people. This is wonderful to see. I also wonder if a single "yes" after a while and then switching back to "ok" would have really drove them mad.
Scammer: “Hello? Yes, would you be interested in-“ Me: “Oh! I’m so glad you called, we’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty!”

I once said "nice scam" to one of these guys... he said "thanks" and went into the full details of how the scam worked. He asked me if I was interested. I was absolutely stunned. The only thing I could think of was to say "sure, give me your contact information....". In which they were like "oh..." and promptly hung up. I was laughing and crying both at the same time.
The brilliant thing here is, although you didn't win the BMW and the money, thanks to the scammer you have a video that did pretty well and earns you ad revenue. Gotta love when things work out like this.
oh this is absolutely not cruel. remember these guys are criminals. shrimp is just wasting their time and making fewer people lose money. (edit) ok to clear this up, people don't understand why i said this, but at 4:30 shrimp says: "So at this point you may be thinking that I am a bit unkind or cruel to play games with these people. however, I intend to persuade you otherwise..." I hope that clears things up.
I would never feel any guilt by messing with scammers. Keep doing what you do, one scammer at a time being kept busy by you, could be one less other person getting scammed.
You should feel no guilt in any way for countering such a horrible criminal fraud. Wasting their time is perfect if it saves them even finding time to do one more scam. I salute you for persevering with annoying and baiting these nut cases.
The nastiest part was the fact that he thought you were poor probably only made him more eager since he thought you might be desperate enough to risk a scam on the small chance that it would pay off.
It blows my mind that people fall for this. I mean, if you didn't enter the lottery or whatever it was, why would you even be chosen to win? No one just randomly gets chosen to win unless they enter the drawing.
@@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees A lot of scammers like to target the elderly, and will hang up if someone says they aren’t over 65. Big scamming companies realize that the average adult won’t fall for a scam, so they go for more vulnerable people instead. And, you know, some people can just be too hopeful. When everything seems dull, a little bit of luck can get you very excited. So people who aren’t thoroughly informed on the dangers of scams and are in a state where they’re in desperate need of a miracle will try to believe in the best outcome: that they get the money, and live happily from then on. So thus, they fall for it. Admittedly, it’s dumb, yes, but it’s possible. Without dumb, hopeful people, scammers would go out of business.
@@CottonRage What a shame. I wish more people could be informed. I mean, almost everyone has a smartphone and almost everyone has internet. Hopefully more people will learn that luck is very rare and it's better to temper your hope to more realistic levels.
This really makes me wonder how much scammer time could be wasted with a simple AI that alternates between saying a few simple phrases like: "Okay", "Sounds good", "How do I do that exactly?" "Why do I need to do that?"
You can't waste any of the scammers time, you're not communicating with a scammer. All of the responses you receive are from a chatbot. The scammer doesn't even read any of the messages, they just setup the mass e-mail to a list they bought, setup the chatbot to auto-respond from the script, and then check the designated western union, PO Box, or whatever payment method they have configured into the script. The whole thing takes about an hour to setup and 5 minutes a day to see if any money has shown up.
@@FalkenThunder ??? What brings you to that conclusion? Everything about this screams AI. The one-track theme, the strange reaction to otherwise co-operative behavior, even the overall word choices and punctuation/grammar seems more likely to be from an AI than a human. Mostly, however, look at this logically: These kind of scams are remarkably inefficient. Very few people even respond, and many email providers are pretty good at filtering them out. Additionally, there are a ton of honeypots that swamp these things with automated replies to protect their email customers by poisoning the well with tens of thousands of replies that are gibberish. As a result, the scammers need to send out millions of these messages initially to get a few hundred valuable responses, but they get millions of junk responses. The only way to make the scam viable is to automate the response handling. The easy answer is to get a chatbot with a specific formula that is designed to induce the victim to send money if they are real. Then its just a set-it and forget-it scam and you just check for the money as I indicated.
Why dont you make a python bot that automatically sends "OK" to scammers 30 minutes after they email you, and when they stop emailing you for a couple days make it so the bot emails "Where do I send my payment details?"
I recently got scammed so this just helped me laugh a bit :) I did a similar thing with a 'if I can't get the money back at least let me annoy them while I get to contact an anti-scam agency' kind of attitude but since I enjoy texting I was just sending them lots of elaborate messages, I impersonated the role of an annoying educator on life and the basics of human interactions and how society/life works. Whether I succeded at annoying them or not I still had fun in the process and it helped me release my frustration.
2:28 this is most DEFINITELY the point Daniel lost it but a detail you failed to mention is the fact that his anger led to him loosing focus and as a result, not starting with a capital letter.

I understand most of these scamers are from Africa and probably just trying to fee their family but it defo doesn't give them the right to scam vulnerable people over here so no we shouldn't feel bad :/

@Frauenarzt Dr. Stefan Frank you sound awfully sympathetic to those phone scammers ,huh? I wonder if you'll be so sympathetic if you ever get scammed for thousands of dollars?
May your conscience be forever clear. I know what these scammers can do. Keeping the atention of one of them, will prevent him or her from scamming someone else more vulnerable. May you be blessed.
The way they demand things is disgusting. The fact they pray on the elderly or disabled and the anger they have. The idea someone is trying to do this horrible scam and they have the balls to GET ANGRY!? It’s so disgusting. I love the guy that hacks them and shows them their webcam on his computer.

Here we see a scammer in his natural habitat.

Oh he's really riled up now! I should be careful around such a deadly critter, but in the intrest of learning more about the species, I'm going to taunt him some more...
Only messed with scammers once. They were trying to hock some medicine or something. “Are you experiencing any pain” I had just been woken up and haven’t had this opportunity before, so I just stumbled out the first thing I could think of. “I am… experiencing… emotional pain.” The scammer proceeded to ramble about Katy Perry songs and to keep my chin up, life gets better, yada yada. Best scam call ever.
I don’t know how anyone could conclude that it’s cruel to waste the time of someone who’s trying to rob you. My pet peeve is the calls. A friend told me his brother takes the calls and tries to waste as much time of theirs as possible. I did that successfully once, but 99% of the time, they hang up on me before the third sentence is spoken. Am I on some sort of “don’t waste your time on him list” that takes 8 seconds to pop up on screen? If so, I wish they would just program my number off of the list altogether.
I was thinking the same, they spend their lives using deception and taking advantage of people's naivete in order to steal their hard and honestly earned money and gain a profit that they did not work to earn, how is wasting their time or annoying them at all immoral? This strategy is the least harmful revenge to have ever existed!
A scammer once scammed my elderly neighbor out of their retirement money (around 50k). She contacted the FBI after she was scammed but the money was all sent to a foreign account and nothing could be done. My neighbor thought it was the IRS and never asked me for advice until it was too late. Scammers do not deserve your respect. Think of her whenever you deal with one and what they did.
Love it. I remember seeing another video where the mark was some hacker type, and he ended up having the whole call centre of scammers in India arrested by the authorities. He also hacked into their CCTV, and the looks on their little faces when he started using their real names was amazing. The whole video was incredibly cathartic. A nice little detail in this video is where he says "I would never steal, God wouldn't approve of it". A lie of course, but even if it were true, the inference would seem to be that if God didn't have a problem with it, he would be out there stealing to his heart's content.
I've engaged scammers as well, and saying that paying means you won't eat, is always met with a response that shows they have no remorse or care for their victims.
Well yeah but you were also lying so it's kind of irrelevant. Scammers aren't idiots, they know you're lying just as much as you know they are scamming people. If they were stupid enough to believe you they would be falling for their own scams.
@@SkelNeldory who said I was lying? I actually wasn't at the time. The point is that scammers are scum who are willing to take from people who can't afford it. They are an EVIL that deserves to be eradicated.
@@TheLeastOfficialOfBros i want to see the line of bullshit they write up to explain how you need to pay them a processing fee so the money can be donated lmao
I love doing this in my business when a call platform is wildly prospecting me: I put the phone on speaker, I continue my work and I only answer "ok/yes", I then time the time the conversation lasts before they get discouraged and hang up. My current record: 24 minutes.
G0LIATH They scam you from out of country, usually India or Pakistan who has no intent on prosecuting them even if they could catch them, which they cant and wont bother anyway
@G0LIATH Most scammers aren't from the same country as the one they're actually scamming. So your law don't apply to them and they're usually from a third wold country, so they don't have much to loose..
@@arhamshahid5015 He's quite correct actually. Most scams do come from india, and the government/police isn't willing to do anything about it in those places.
A scammer once called me to say that my brother was in a car crash with him, was lying unconscious and apparently owed money to him and I that I had to pay it. Seems it was obviously a scam I decided to ask him to send me a picture of him and ask for a name and such, which he obviously "wasnt able to provide". After a few minutes he got angry and said that if I didn't send the money he "didn't knew what he was going to do to him". So I "Ok, tell him I said hi when he wakes up". Anyway, my brother was downstairs the whole time
All this work just drawing out the scammer is the same as you used to do. If you want them to leave you alone and stop calling just use one simple phrase. “What kind of scam is this?” They will either hang up or denounce that it’s a scam and try to persuade you that it’s not a scam. In my experience with this it has a 95% chance of hanging up. It’s also nice to not have them calling me all the time.
I enjoy exploring new and creative ways to ruin a scammer's day. I have learned several profane words and phrases in their native language, and I have researched extensively the most deeply hurtful insults one can say to people in that culture. I like to keep them hanging on the line for as long as possible before I let them have it.
honestly it's not that hard to believe if you dont think too long and impulsively do it. There are lots of dumbass people who will do it probably, i mean have you seen some of the folk walking this planet? I bet 30% of people would fall for this kinda shit

It blows my mind that people fall for this. I mean, if you didn't enter the lottery or whatever it was, why would you even be chosen to win? No one just randomly gets chosen to win unless they enter the drawing.
@@did_I_hurt_your_fee_fees A lot of scammers like to target the elderly, and will hang up if someone says they aren’t over 65. Big scamming companies realize that the average adult won’t fall for a scam, so they go for more vulnerable people instead.
And, you know, some people can just be too hopeful. When everything seems dull, a little bit of luck can get you very excited. So people who aren’t thoroughly informed on the dangers of scams and are in a state where they’re in desperate need of a miracle will try to believe in the best outcome: that they get the money, and live happily from then on. So thus, they fall for it. Admittedly, it’s dumb, yes, but it’s possible. Without dumb, hopeful people, scammers would go out of business.
@@CottonRage What a shame. I wish more people could be informed. I mean, almost everyone has a smartphone and almost everyone has internet. Hopefully more people will learn that luck is very rare and it's better to temper your hope to more realistic levels.
Revisit this from time to time when I need a good laugh, never disappoints.
OK
This really makes me wonder how much scammer time could be wasted with a simple AI that alternates between saying a few simple phrases like: "Okay", "Sounds good", "How do I do that exactly?" "Why do I need to do that?"
You can't waste any of the scammers time, you're not communicating with a scammer. All of the responses you receive are from a chatbot. The scammer doesn't even read any of the messages, they just setup the mass e-mail to a list they bought, setup the chatbot to auto-respond from the script, and then check the designated western union, PO Box, or whatever payment method they have configured into the script. The whole thing takes about an hour to setup and 5 minutes a day to see if any money has shown up.
@@ericschumann4213 I mean this scammer is obviously typing these things himself, and not an AI.
@@FalkenThunder ??? What brings you to that conclusion? Everything about this screams AI. The one-track theme, the strange reaction to otherwise co-operative behavior, even the overall word choices and punctuation/grammar seems more likely to be from an AI than a human.
Mostly, however, look at this logically: These kind of scams are remarkably inefficient. Very few people even respond, and many email providers are pretty good at filtering them out. Additionally, there are a ton of honeypots that swamp these things with automated replies to protect their email customers by poisoning the well with tens of thousands of replies that are gibberish. As a result, the scammers need to send out millions of these messages initially to get a few hundred valuable responses, but they get millions of junk responses. The only way to make the scam viable is to automate the response handling. The easy answer is to get a chatbot with a specific formula that is designed to induce the victim to send money if they are real. Then its just a set-it and forget-it scam and you just check for the money as I indicated.

I don’t know how anyone could conclude that it’s cruel to waste the time of someone who’s trying to rob you. My pet peeve is the calls. A friend told me his brother takes the calls and tries to waste as much time of theirs as possible. I did that successfully once, but 99% of the time, they hang up on me before the third sentence is spoken. Am I on some sort of “don’t waste your time on him list” that takes 8 seconds to pop up on screen? If so, I wish they would just program my number off of the list altogether.
I was thinking the same, they spend their lives using deception and taking advantage of people's naivete in order to steal their hard and honestly earned money and gain a profit that they did not work to earn, how is wasting their time or annoying them at all immoral? This strategy is the least harmful revenge to have ever existed!
A scammer once scammed my elderly neighbor out of their retirement money (around 50k). She contacted the FBI after she was scammed but the money was all sent to a foreign account and nothing could be done.

A nice little detail in this video is where he says "I would never steal, God wouldn't approve of it". A lie of course, but even if it were true, the inference would seem to be that if God didn't have a problem with it, he would be out there stealing to his heart's content.
