@@AtomicShrimp I have a perplexing question. This video was published today, less than one hour ago, so how then is it possible for an account named as "Africa Everyday" to have posted two comments onto the thread of this video yesterday? Could it be that they are connected to the original John Warosa or John Barosa? Or maybe they are connected to the United Nations guys you are dealing with? If that is the case, then I completely understand how it would be possible for them to do that, because they would just use their diplomatic immunity to exempt them from the laws of physics and the natural passage of time, much in the same way that politicians are able to use their diplomatic immunity, to go about their daily business and lives without having to adhere to the same restrictions and lockdowns as the rest of the people of the world and without them having any fear of catching Covid, as their diplomatic immunity protects them against it.

"You are stressing my intelligence" is also a good quote, even for shirts.

You hit the nail on the head with this FAQ. You act like a victim. Sometimes the perfect victim. This is very obvious when you look back at the Manuel video. The character you created was a perfect victim. Naive, confused and bad at communicating over email. The scammers lightened up when they thought you were a pensioner because they knew Manuel was a great target. These scams are also designed to cast wide and get a small number of bites. One scammer dropping what could be a proper victim is actually a decent hit to their bottom line. Furthermore, when you get a scammer way of script like in this video and the last video you are having them waste a lot of time. This also impacts their bottom line, they are failing instead of investing time in someone else. Lastly it's worth noting these people likely don't care about improving. There are free programs like grammarly for spell checking, basic grammar, readability. Since they have templates it would be worth getting those templates looked over before sending them out especially since some of these scammers do have English contacts. But they don't. Almost all of these videos showcase horrible grammar. If they were going to get better it would have already happened. Sometimes the poor grammar seems almost intentional, an old lady with dying of blood cancer might not be the best at writing

I have to share the pure irony that occurred yesterday. KZread just happened to recommend one of your scambaiting videos to me a few days ago and I've been watching quite a few for the pure entertainment value. Yesterday morning, a scammer posed as one of my high school teachers (made a copy account) and messaged me through Facebook. I immediately recognized this as a scammer because 1) she was my English Literature teacher and the grammar in the email would have made her fume and 2) immediately upon searching for the company "she" was telling me about, it came up as a reported scam. I spent five hours deploying your tactics and had a lot of fun before the account was deleted. Before I started watching your videos, I'd block a scammer and report them. Instead, I was able to get screenshots and share to make sure mutual friends were not scammed. For that, you've earned my subscribe and support. Thank you for what you do, both educationally and for the entertainment value.

"I am forbidden by the law to break the law" is unquestionably one of my favorites. You should have had John call the scammer a small boy, though.

I love how you've kept the John Barosa/Warosa character alive all this time. The icing on the cake would be if the ACTUAL John BW (more accurately, the scammer posing as him) would make a return somehow. I doubt that will happen, but one can dream.

7:30 I always find it weird when scammers ask for payment in Bitcoin. I feel like anyone tech-savvy enough to know what Bitcoin is and how to use it would also probably be quite unlikely to fall for these scams. Hell, I don't even know how to pay for things in Bitcoin, so I don't know how the average scam victim is going to.

Yes, that’s always been my thought too. And if someone else asked a more tech-savvy person how to use bitcoin it would flag up the scam to the latter. Strange.

Some scammers take advantage of victims not knowing what bitcoin is, I recall once seeing another scambaiter deal with a CRA (Canadian IRS) scammer who claimed that Bitcoin was a special form of tax payment processing. But it seems like the majority of scammers just deal with victims misunderstanding if it means it's harder for their transactions to be traced and blocked/reversed by authorities.

I can’t remember ever dealing with a legitimate enterprise that commented on my “seriousness”, even if it was just wandering through a car lot kicking tires. I just find it funny how that is such a concern (read: pressuring tool) of all these scammers.

“I am forbidden by law to break the law”

idea: in a future scambaiting video try pretending as though youve never made an online transaction in your life and you need to get the scammer to walk you through each step in detail, you could come up with excuses like "whoops i think i sent the fee to the wrong person" or something like that

In terms of the benefits of scambaiting - even just what you covered in this video - you must have taken up many hours of this scammer's time, with him/her constructing long bespoke emails specific to the John Barosa situation. All of this time taken from the scammers is time they can't use to scam someone who may fall for it. For each scambaiting video you could be saving tens of thousands of dollars from being scammed off others. Great content Atomic Shrimp, thanks.

[Scambaiting Ideas]: 1. Next time they talk about a 50 kg box, say you have a hernia, and can't lift heavy objects. Tell them you've hired someone to carry it for you, but you can't afford to pay them. 2. Next time they ask for Bitcoin payment, ask them why an institution such as the UN (or whatever they're pretending they are) would accept Bitcoin. Try to get them into a compex discussion about crypto currency

Another point on the helping scammers improve: for someone to improve at a skill they need feedback about whether what they are doing is effective or not. But when scambaiting nothing the scammer does has a significant impact on the result. At worst, it helps them identify scambaiters, but obviously stopping scambaiting would do far more to help the scammers than helping them identify scambaiters would.
