I think a great demonstration of the "most scam baits go no where" thing can be best observed by watching someone like Kitboga who streams many of his attempts live. A lot of those attempts don't go that far, but every now and then you'll get one that spans the course of several callbacks and those are the ones that typically end up on his youtube. And the five-minute calls usually do not get posted unless something interesting happens very quickly.

@adrianmalacoda 2 жыл бұрын

They also don't handle the same type of scammer. Jim Browning deals with tech support scams where he has the scammer connect to his (virtual) PC, which he somehow uses to get into their own PC and install a RAT (remote access trojan). The RAT is how he is able to keep an eye on the scammer and help victims, but he can only do so while he is connected, and only while the scam is in progress. Atomic Shrimp deals with advance-fee scams, which are generally conducted by email. He doesn't have the same opportunity to get into the scammer's PC that Jim has. I suppose theoretically he could somehow trick the scammer into installing a RAT (say, by disguising it as a passport) and get in that way but I believe most webmail and desktop email clients prevent that, and they might not even be using a PC these days (and if they were it might be a public computer where they don't have admin access).

Bit of a question regarding the Beige Network, does your account need to be in a tax clode in order to ensprone a Beige channel ID? And are the funds gained from an expanding transfer glarded? Other than that, quality content as always, Shrimp. It's always fun to see scammers melt down, schadenfreude, you might say. :)

@klrowdean 2 жыл бұрын

My understanding, and I may be mistaken, is that *gained* funds from a Beige Network transfer are always glarded, but the principal funds retain their original glarded/unglarded status.

@notnth 2 жыл бұрын

@@klrowdean What exactly do you mean by “gained” funds? The extra funds received as the result of the expansion process or the entire sum of Beige Contracts? Also, minor correction: the correct form is “glardedn’t”.

@klrowdean 2 жыл бұрын

@@notnth I apologize for my imprecise language. By *gained* I'm only referring the new funds that come from the expansion process. These funds will always be glarded. The initial amount (principal) retains its original glarding status. I believe unglarded and glardedn't are different preferred forms in British and American English. I may be mistaken. I am but a small boy.

My experience with Wells Fargo (I have an account there) is that they take quite an interest in fraud and scams. They are a bit more responsive if you have an account with them, though my personal interaction has only been to report phishing messages I've received. Pretty sure I've been to that branch office, btw, as they only have a couple in Lakeville and I used to do a lot of business in the southern suburbs. Pointless, I know, but it amused me.

@MickeyMousePark 2 жыл бұрын

If only Wells Fargo would take some interest in the fraud and scams INSIDE their own organization (i.e. opening accounts without customer permission ..all fixed we got rid of that employee and paid the huge fine....... a few years later FDIC and/or FTC examining Wells Fargo again ...all fixed we got rid of that employee and paid the huge fine....... a few years later FDIC and/or FTC examining Wells Fargo again rinse repeat....) just out of curiosity i looked up Wells has paid over $4 Billion in fines since 2016...Which averages $1 billion per year just part of doing business i guess...

Why are "be rest assured", "OK" and "thank you" so commonly used by scammers ?

@Geffro 2 жыл бұрын

My guess? Probably a normal phrase in their native language, which they don't realize doesn't sound quite right in English. I made the same mistake a lot when learning Spanish, where I'd repeat words/phrases that technically were Spanish but sounded off/weird to the people I was speaking with (especially how often I'd say them).

@kyoobqa 2 жыл бұрын

From my own experience, "rest assured" is a little confusing when you first hear it, especially if you learn that "the rest" can mean "the remaining part of something". I guess their native grammar confuses them in some other way, so they try to fill in the gap with another verb to make it sound "right".

Another great video! It's odd that the scammer didn't want to receive a quarter of the funds (which'd be over $500 I assume); I wonder how much he'd have raged if you'd have sent him an absurdly small amount like you did with Nigerian Naira. A shame that there's no way (I assume) to safely transfer a tiny amount of money to the scammer's accounts. Also, your voice is so soothing and calm, your videos are my go-to background noise. Have you ever considered publishing audiobooks, possibly of public domain works? Somehow you reading Dickens just seems appropriate.

@DamnedSilly 2 жыл бұрын

In some circumstances it could be done safely, but it's a finisher he's used before. The time investment might be more than it's worth. Western Union or even bitcoin might be easy enough, but having to explain to an actual bank that you set up an account, however small, to intentionally get scammed might strain their patience. Oh, and I second the Dickens idea... Great Expectations would be a perfect start.

I've recently been receiving "weird" e-mails and it occurred to me that, instead of blindly guessing myself, you would know exactly what they're about. They only contain one line of text and, of the dozens I've received, all of them have a unique e-mail address that looks completely innocent. (as in: "just some guys address") What got me curious is that the Subject line and content line always end mid-sentence followed by a 6 character long base64 string. While my inner CTF enjoyer wants to think "if you arrange these strings in the right order, you can decode a secret message", the critical-thinking part of my brain tells me that's nonsense. Other than that, the only thing that stands out to me are the 3 "Smart Reply" buttons Gmail adds. All of these mails have them and it's the first time I've seen them. But inspecting the html source reveals that they are in a completely separate from the message body.
