I have to applaud you, your response to this scam is especially brilliant. I don’t want to judge any victim, but this scammer has a very low opinion of his victims if he specifically says don’t send payment by gift card, yes asks anyway. Maybe next time send them photos of the gift cards with the codes still covered. Maybe you can say, “here are the cards, I didn’t even have to pay for them”. Anyway bless you mate. Edit: if you get this scam again, before they ask for the fee, ask for all the receipts of the $10,000 they have spent. Maybe they’ll screw up and it won’t add up to $10,000. Wait before they ask for the fee, if they ask for a tip like this scammer, ask if you can direct deposit the money into their bank account, maybe you’ll get lucky and they’ll write yes, and then later when they ask for the fee, bring up the direct deposit option. Then we can have some fun reading their excuses.

[@YTStoleMyUsername]

I believe in this scam, they start off telling the victim not to send money via the various methods to make the victim feel secure & that it's a valid transaction. But they wind a long and meandering story over the course of days or weeks, to where whoever does fall victim forgets that initial statement about not sending money via Gift cards, Western Union etc. By then he believes he must follow the "UN bank protocols" or whatever word salad they come up with that sounds legit, so they can receive the "key" and documents for their consignment box. Scammers are always changing their tactics, apparently even pretending to help formerly scammed victims, or put right in their message "how to avoid" not being scammed - even by them! Yet they are still able to trick people & catch them off guard.

The question "how can you fall for a scam" is psychologically explainable, however... How can the scammer think he has "any" credibility past the point they leave their scripts and answer directly... They are "supposedly" high social ranking people, but can't write two sentences without errors or capslock. They have very low nerve tolerance and jump out of their persona, almost begging for the money. I just can't imagine them feeling like "oh yeah, I got this..."

It's a filtering processes. The people they're targeting are vulnerable, desperate, technologically illiterate etc. By making their emails obviously shitty, they cause potential marks to self-select, ensuring only those who they could successfully prey on respond to them. If they were professional looking, many more people would get to the time to send money or details and see the red flags, and end the interaction there. That'd be a waste of time from the scammers perspective as it's not someone they can manipulate into sending them money.

Brilliant editing job on this one shrimp - from the map showing the scammer's illogical plane trip to the mario bros sound effects for the 100$! - Well done all across the board! Its really wonderful to see how far this series has come along - Hope your weekend is going well as always. KEep up the god work!

[@TC_here]

you should send them pics of you holding iTune cards but have the serial numbers obscured... the thought that they are that close to getting the money will destroy them :) Keep them on the hook for a few more emails .. As always great work ..

[@freddyfroggroove8779]

What a lovely surprise, to see a notification on my phone, and it's a video from Atomic Shrimp! I was having such a dull and rainy day, but you just cheered me up for a good half hour. Thanks for the great content, Mike!

[@whattheflimflam]

The bit about having a rather large bunion had me hee-hawing with vigor. Great work, Atomic Shrimp.

[@gandalfwiz20007]

I love it when you annoy the scammers and make them lose their temper. I just wish "Their punishment must be more severe".

[@zensei5659]

It’s they way you read it that does it for me, such composure in repeating all of the grammatical errors. I have been watching for a couple years now and I’ll probably still be watching if your making this content years from now.

[@papayer]

It's quite comical how they all feel the need to assert that their business is genuine and legitimate and absolutely not a scam

[@TmOnlineMapper]

It's so hillarious how they straight up refused to even acknowledge anything you said near the end. You truly broke them I could hear them smashing their heads on their keyboard in frustration.

[@dees3179]

I think’do you like cucumbers’ is probably the best line in this whole tale as it’s so out of place.

Scammer: "There is no advance fee and also, you should never pay an advance fee" Also Scammer: "There is an advanced Fee"

“Other fake offices”

[@noobtablet101]

I love the return of the more traditional scam baiting videos- they were missed!

[@_SoCalDude_]

Scammer: "Diplomatic immunity." Atomic Shrimp; "It's just been revoked."

[@jamesrichardson1326]

Love how you put these crooks through the wringer.

[@halgaucher6730]

Love that Freud.

[@jnub]

its funny how this scam tried to be clever by removing the "deduct it from the total" argument, but it totally backfired instead

[@lizardman1289]

I love how they say "Other fake offices" pretty much telling you that they are a fake office

[@broadsword6650]

Maybe it’s not ScottGary but rather Barry Scott, advertising frontman for that explosive cleaning spray. BANG! …and your money is gone.

[@Christer2222]

Can't these emails from these supposed "banks" just print their own money for any fees? At least, I think that would be funny to tell one of them

[@AtomicShrimp]

Apparently they have to use saves from own pocket

[@IdiotamSpielen]

They could, and in doing so would make their currency lose value.

[@thy422]

Forwarding a fake email from their account to convince them they were hacked is brilliant. Great video as always.

[@melodiecook7725]

"Shouty caps" is now a big part of my vocabulary. Thank you, AS!

[@sunnyscott4876]

I love "shouty caps". It just sounds perfect.

[@PaperclipClips]

Wow, this is awesome OK. I just came across this channel, and is definitely the type of videos I enjoy watching OK. I'll make sure to check out some of this channel's older uploads as well when I have some free time later on OK. This is quite an entertaining and informative content OK.

[@LyricsFred]

Ok

[@Matt_matt1]

Ok

[@MrMistofolis]

As a locksmith I can assure you: all you need is angle grinder with a few cut-off wheels. This monstrosity will tear apart everything in ten seconds flat.

[@katbryce]

Lock Picking Lawyer would probably have it open in a few seconds with a bit of red bull can or something similar.

[@EtienneSnyman]

AS: "Ok so my channel is about making food from weeds and replying OK to scambaiters" / Me: "SOLD!"

[@JeyPeyy]

A code of conduct being a literal code really got to me. Imagine if there was a standard which listed all possible parts of a code of conduct, so organizations could just refer to an actual code instead of sending a pdf.

[@thatguyintherain3168]

Well of course you figured out he's a scammer, he didn't tell you "Be Rest Assured"

[@angelreilly8312]

This was perfect. I love that the small boy bit came back.

[@jacobishii6121]

That must be a really heavy key.....500$ by DHL Edit* I was so happy to hear him the scammer say the key was heavy right after posting this

[@Grey_Warden_Invasion]

When he was talking about the gift cards and splitting them into five I pictured one gift card cut into five pieces.
