What is his best?

HE PINNED THIS COMMENT OMG he is so self deprecacting sometimes

Well, the bar is too high

Hahaha!!! "Bit rubbish.... But I've got nothing better to watch" - what a storming review.

Ah, I see the internet ducks are making their way into James Veitch’s comments

Best part about that is, the scammer was still sending the emails, didn't realize that his "victim" was just being silly... the guy must have actually thought that his mark traveled to Hong Kong to try and meet him.

I buy all my chocolate bars in Hong Kong.

I mean, if they're like Japan they probably have 40 different flavors. I've always thought of trying Melon flavor, that sounds like it would go well with chocolate.

@@sarahcoleman5269 In Hong Kong, sadly no. I've only ever seen two alternative flavors, tangerine and green tea.

I live in HK but haven't really found Kit Kats in convenience stores

@@owntmpsn I'm pretty sure he gets payed in KitKats

@@zoeymccann124 fun fact "payed" is actually a word, but you should have used "paid".

@@Blackspidy619 spelling isn't my cup of tea

@@zoeymccann124 then you should get the lovely Yorkshire Tea Gold. Which totally does not sponsor this video or the Legendary Spiffing Brit.

@@stevendrake3155 spiff fans? Here?

It's always glorious to see when he's truly, fully broken them.

@@hazukichanx408 YUP!! The "via a giant gummy lizard" one is probably one of my favs.

really? this man got good genes

He’s 40?!

He must be one of those that just looks young till they're about 50.😅

That's an intricate one. Sounds like fun

@@seagecko It was a blast

@@bristolboi9759 Could we see screenshots?

Gods-damnit, why couldn't you have recorded this? LMFAO!!!! :D

@@LordNumbnutsthe1st the emails are still there, haha

Cool story, Hansel.

At least they had a little bit of sense left in them.

We let our greed cloud our judgement at times.

@@cr3237 Greed, or sometimes desperation. A lottery can be viewed as a tax on those bad at math, or as a service providing a glimmer of hope to those in dire need. Of course, given the odds of actually winning the sodding thing, that just makes it seem all the crueller to me... Also, may any and all scammers be visited by the almighty Veitch, and have _their_ time and energy wasted.

As long as you don't give them any money, personal info, access to your devices, etc., the worst case is that you and them both waste time and effort. Best case, you somehow get something out of it.

Sometimes it's two moustaches

Or the hummus, it’s going places

He's a serious business man.

I’m down for Virtual Veitch if you are

@@jamesveitch I'm actually going to let this stew in my brain for a while. I've pondered such things before, but mostly as a pipe dream. You're actually making me think this could be fun for people. Yeah, I follow the white-hat hackers who actually hack into the fake support call centers--which is really fun to watch. But, my thoughts on crowd sourcing that stuff is that those with the talent and the drive are too few and far between. Anyway, in case I fail to come up with anything meaningful, I'll go ahead and declare this idea open to anyone willing to further pursue it with you (something like creative commons but treating "Virtual Veitch as imminently worth of trademark). And, so the pipe dream begins--with a Friday toast. I'll be back if I think I've got anything worthy of KickStarter or such.

O.K. I haven't been working hard enough on this, but here's a super brief listing of key components. 1) Reverse bots (non-aggressive, white-hat decoys, anonymized to protect the crowd sourced participants who are the James Veitch style white hats) to receive solicitations from malicious bots and spammer/scammer/phishers. 2) Mediation service (like social media services) to offer up each scam/spam/phishing attempt to the community of James Veitch style white hats... 3) Tough choice at this point, should the mediation service lock in one James Veitch style white-hat respondent (whoever responds first or something involving community points) or open it up to a free for all. Sorry, my choice is to lock it into one respondent for continuity, but maybe keep a back channel of community participants to guide the respondent into a true James Veitch experience. 4) Allow the thread to play to it's natural end, and then automatically publish for general public entertainment. I hereby turn this proposal over to the community for comments.

@@howdoipickaname9815 You have inspired me to get off my ass. Go back to the original thread if you don't get my longer comment. Thank you Sir or Madam.

I'm also in I.T. .... I actually have a ton of virtual machines setup on my own over powered high end server, I use them all the time to trick scammers into trying to lock down and encrypt the machine for blackmail into getting funds to unlock it. I will trace their IP traffic, and then send them a map with their likely call centre circled in red, saying the US Navy has missiles locked onto it and will be firing shortly. Some of them take the bait and order everyone in the centre to leave, others just disconnect, and one cocky scammer actually replied "So, you have my location, what can you do? Nothing! You can do nothing to me!". He is correct though, I even gave the location and IP details and occasionally the internal camera pictures to indian authorities, and they literally ignore it. Apparently there is 2 problems with these scam centres: 1. The locals all know it's there and actually support what they do because they think westerners deserve to lose money. 2. Many of the police are actually on the payroll of the scam centres. So I'm thinking, perhaps sending real missiles there would send a stronger message. 🤗

To Hong Kong.

@@bavettesAstartes ha

It wasn't a moustache; it was a chocolate smudge from a kitkat bar.

...but we have KitKats

I was also wondering about that. Nice how the text in the background remained consistent with the words, though.

Well, you can't expect a professional banking organization to keep track of every little detail like that! =D

Bruh you small brain it’s re-uploading

@@ilovecairns5181 in this case re:uploading seems more appropriate 😆

Mark Jacobs what

@@ilovecairns5181 re: as in e-mail reply 😆

Sayounara, if we're being picky. And yet spellcheck identifies _this_ as incorrect spelling? Oh, how the mighty have brainfarted.

Indid indid!

most of the time they speak broken english on purpose, so smart people are like “obviously this is a scam” and don’t y’know, report it or anything, and dumb people think they’re smart for being able to understand it either that or they are just bad at english

@@kaiserinjacky that's too much effort 🤣

they do it to single out the kinds of people who won't catch on to their game so they get people who don't speak English well enough to catch the subtext for themselves, or who're trying to use technology they don't understand, or who're just drunk... basically someone who doesn't have enough knowledge or ability to make their own judgement call they're not trying to have your greed win out against your common sense so much as they're trying to remove common sense from the equation entirely as has been pointed out already, it probably also helps them to go longer without getting reported and blocked, 'cause many people won't bother to go to the trouble of doing that if they think this is so obvious that *anyone* could see it... failing to factor in people who don't come from the same type of world they do

I believe phrase to being "florid Angleesh"

I KNOW RIGHT?? APPARENTLY HE'S BEEN POSTING SCAMALOT EPISODES FOR WEEKS BUT NONE OF THEM EVER SHOWED UP IN MY SUB FEED I'M FUMING

ikr? 😂

Yes, they way was definitely funny.

Agreed! This is too rapid-fire and condensed. I guess it's for the newer generation, who watch KZfaq at double speed.
