According to the Deep AI, when asked "What the Heck is a Cleck?" "You have a choice: "Cleck" is for an open end fence that is both large to hold a person and small not to allow someone to climb over it. This is a term that was used in the 17th century for the length of an open wood fence (like this one) and used in an outdoor campfire. One of the main difference between this campfire and a "cleck" is the way that it doesn't cover or break up a person's natural fence."

Just wanted to share this gem Deep AI produced when I tried it out. I feel like Dougls Adams could have written something like this: Ya know, the thing I love about eggs is that I've never had one before, and it's really easy to cut one. But a little bit of salt or perhaps some chopped green or red apples, a little bit of vinegar, some butter or maybe even dried fruits, that's great. It's like I'm always cutting up your potatoes. Like if the potatoes are half as tough and the onion is on the thicker side. And that's the best way. I could do what they are too but since I've never done that before it should be a very easy recipe for a big family. Or is it a bit more complicated. Just like when you cut up your eggs and cut them up? You make up this little recipe with a single ingredient in mind. So, the way most people do it today is. And let me talk about cooking on a knife. You use a knife to cut on each side of the egg. Just to make sure there's a line. But there's a huge difference there when you have cut the eggs. On the whole, they're a little more tender and they're much more crunchy. They do feel like you're cutting them, but you're not cutting them up. They're just too sticky to use. So a knife doesn't hurt. But, there are some things you don't want to do because you'll need the rest of the day and you aren't cooking

I bought a phone off of Facebook once and the audio chip was broken, unadvertised. Lady I bought it from looked like a crackhead, not surprised at all.

[@BigGrease1]

I was in tears laughing halfway into this. You are truly the master of trolling these guys, i can't believe you can often keep them on the hook so long.

[@0nlyThis]

"I think i might try someone else who hasnt been scammed 8 times" Priceless!

[@georgestoica1509]

"I can pay by email or the internet" killed me dead

[@CleanAire]

I'm kinda sad you ended the conversation with the last one so quickly. It kinda felt like you were building some real rapport with them. That had the potential to be a really interesting conversation

[@serbanandrei7532]

That's what i thought

[@serbanandrei7532]

There is a scammer who I've been chatting with for over an year now He keeps asking me to invest in his fund from time to time and i drag it for as long as i can before he gets frustrated and ghosts me but he always comes back eventually

That "cleck" definition plot twist at the end was brilliant. Great storytelling there. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

[@melonmanwill]

This channel is one I always forget about for a good period of time, and then just come back to binge every video all over again lol

Oh my heck Mr. Shrimp, that last bit was bloody golden.

[@AmerQuran]

I actually laughed 2-3 times watching this. I applaud you on wasting those criminals' time. Please keep this up.

[@jwenting]

you do know that a glarded account can't be handled by a cleck, don't you?

[@nilswegner2881]

John warosa wasn't involved in this so of course the Funds can't be glarded

The image of Cleck set off my doll phobia so much... I've never shuddered and laughed at the same time before. Good job.

[@CharemTheShadox]

That last guy was weirdly personable. Maybe you could have broken character and talked to them about what they're actually doing. Since they seemed to still contain some form of soul, maybe it could have been an intervention.

[@wohlhabendermanager]

That DeepAI page is full of wisdom. I asked "Who's at first?" and now we finally have an answer: "Who's at first? Oh, that's a question I came up with earlier. The answer is "He's a former Marine who has to defend our country from terrorists.""

Morning Shrimp Family. I had a call saying my national insurance number had be compromised yesterday lol. Same format as the iPhone scam, badly worded recording. At the end press one to sort this out. They will try anything to scam you! Have a good weekend everyone.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

I got a call from "Amazon" telling me they'd just charged me $70 for Prime. It invited me to press 1 to talk to someone-so of course I did. They started on their script, telling me I'd just been charged $70 for Prime membership-and I cut in on them. Me: "Yeah, that's right. It was due to come out." Them: "But sir, don't you want a refund?" Me: "Why would I want a refund, I use Amazon Prime?" This seemed to confuse him. I was off the script and blazing a new path! Them: "But sir, it was $70! You want to file refund." He was most insistent. Me: "I don't want a refund. I *_like_* Amazon Prime. I use it every day! Actually, can you sign my wife up too?" He spent nearly ten minutes trying to get me on the script to cancel my payment. Phishing for credit card details (for money) and ID (for identity fraud). In the end he asked me: Them: "Why don't you want the refund, sir?" Me: "Because I enjoy wasting your time. While I'm talking to you, you aren't scamming someone else." He'd hung up at some point in my last line, but I still finished it in case he could hear. I haven't gotten hit by them since, and I didn't block their number, so I guess they marked me as "more trouble than he's worth".

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

@@ConstantlyDamaged XD sweet. Their Brians are fair game to be used to your content.

[@ConstantlyDamaged]

@@PandemoniumMeltDown Only reason I knew their game was my mum had mentioned she gets their calls. She hangs up on them right away, but I figured I should do some research in case she does hang on the line and do something ill-advised. So, with info on what they were trying to do in hand, I had a fair idea how to short-circuit their script.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

@@ConstantlyDamaged Hehe :D

The cat hat bit gets a laugh out of me every time I go back and watch this video. I think my favorite part is the instruction to draw a circle on it.

I love a good, nice and comfortable cathat. It is a classic move to ensure happiness.

[@onedirectioninfection5756]

the "wow, you got scammed 8 times? maybe you should be more careful" killed me

[@unverifiedpenguin]

"I think I'll try someone else.... Who hasn't been scammed 8 times... And who isn't a cleck..." Ouch I felt that🤣

Scammer: Please just tell me what you want! Atomic Shrimp: *The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues. The 20 meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start. The running speed starts slowly, but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal. beep A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound. ding Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible. The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over. The test will begin on the word start. On your mark, get ready, start.*

"Live to find the day when everyone else will die." No joke, that could be such a good line in a different story. It was made by a bot at random, but damn that part feels like it has actual weight behind it.

Ah..that's why I had a bad day. I forgot to put on my cat hat with a circle on... Silly. Me.

Fun fact: Cleck is genuinely a South Wales dialect word meaning to gossip or tell on. I don't really hear it much now, but my grandmother and her sister used it a lot.

[@helenenichtfischer6181]

Hey, great video as always. I've been binging this channel's scambaiting videos for the past few weeks and thanks to them and my heightened awareness of scammers, I'm pretty sure I recognised a scam attempt today. It wasn't a scam mail worded in bad sentences and promising some fortune, but a real letter in my mailbox, apparently from my city's health department, informing me of a positive PCR corona test result from last year. The design and language made it look like a completely authentic official letter from the city and it was only tiny discrepancies that made me suspicious and have led to me now informing the appropriate authorities. So thank you, your videos are not only tremendously entertaining every time, but help to strengthen critical questioning in relation to scammers, which I never thought I needed before today!
