Scam Bites: Broken Questions (Experimental Scambaiting)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I like to try different things to annoy scammers and waste their time. Today I'm trying out the idea of asking simple questions that are also kind of impossible to answer.

    I wish we could get an April Fool's video next year where he pretends to send scam emails to people with a title like "Just Say "Okay' to the Victim - Endurance Scamming." Just add a very clear disclaimer that it's all pretend and he didn't actually contact any real people and I think that could be a very good laugh.

    I guess the reason that the scammers don't log off the moment they get a weird question is that they don't recognize weird questions in English, and they try to make sense of it. I tried feeding a fairly reasonable questions through an English-Japanese-Polish-English online translation chain, and came up with How can you give me all the details? Do I have to do it a little faster? Can you prove that I am that person? Might be a good way to come up with questions that /just/ shade into the twilight zone. It was quite a shocking moment when "The scammer replied 'Okay'...."

If I were conversing in a language I wasn’t confident in with another person who I assumed to be more fluent, and they said something that seemed nonsensical, I’d definitely think that the problem was on my end. Did I mistranslate it? Did I misunderstand the grammar? Especially since these questions sound like they make sense, it’s not word salad.

    I think you could possibly string the scammers along more if you initially seemed compliant (albeit a bit confused, like a genuine victim would be), and then questions would gradually become more nonsensical. The longer your conversation with the scammer, the more invested they'll be in you (sunk cost fallacy and all that).

    Definitely something to mix into fuller conversations, rather than using alone. I could see this being done as a sort of way to lead the scammer down a pre-determined path of non-sense. Like, perhaps suggesting early on that you're amnesiac or suffer from mild dementia and are prone to forgetting things, to essentially keep forcing the scammer to start over. I don't know if anybody would go along for that ride, but they might, especially if they see you as being compromised and thus more vulnerable.

    Hilarious idea! Especially for emails. I've been thinking of some unique ways I can talk to scammers, and I keep getting calls for SSN scams. I pressed 1 to be connected today and was told "This is Officer Donald Jefferson, how can I help you?" I said "A recording just said legal action was going to be taken against me!" he said "OK my name is Donald Jefferson and this is my badge #123456 and what is your name?" I said, "What is your name?" he said "My name is Officer Donald Jefferson, did you receive a registration number or case number?" "Nope!" He said "What?" I said, "And how can I help you?" He said "No no no, Is this (my first name)?" I said "Donald Jefferson." ... he was quiet for a moment and then he hung up. I will have to also have to develop the method further to make it last longer, so it sounds like I'm confused and not just messing around. It did make me laugh though. I have to be better prepared next time with false names and locations at the ready; I was at the gym so I walked out and wanted to use this technique and see what happened 🙃 Love your videos

Alternatively, they are just neutral about that. If someone _does_ believe in religion, but not the one the scammer has, they either believe in that stereotype, or alternatively fall back to "different religion is bad". They still can be just neutral about that. If someone believes in _the same_ religion as the scammer, depending on how much they got indoctrinated, they will either be neutral, act according to that stereotype, _or_ rarely believe that the scammer can't be wrong purely because the scammer is following their religion. TL;DR It's an easy scam some of the time, and scammers only need it to work some of the time to get profits. (note: this is heavily oversimplified)

    Hey Shrimp, I was wondering if you’d consider doing a “blooper reel”-esque thing for your scam baiting series, or incorporating a few bloopers into the actual videos, like you did that one time when you burst out laughing. I’m not sure how you feel about it, but I personally found that really endearing and funny, so I think either adding a few more (not in a way that would ruin the video though) or creating a “scammers who dumped me”-esque series would be neat. I’m so used to your calm, collected voice, it would be refreshing to hear you laughing about how terrible a scam is. Although, I suppose if the bloopers aren’t common enough, there wouldn’t be a reason to edit them together. Bottom line: keep up the good work! These videos are great.

Of course, what series you make are up to you, I just figured this might be a neat idea
