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.
@YTStoleMyUsername2 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 ..

17:12 I really appreciate the care you put into educating people, which is why I mention: financial loss is different from the complexities of "recovering from a mental illness": 1) many mental illnesses aren't a singular event with a fallout 2) a mental illness isn't necessarily a loss, so much as a change in or discovery of oneself 2) while the loss of finances can have a lasting affect on someone's life, it's not the same as mental illness, which can frequently become a permanent part of someone's identity; people aren't described as "having poverty" like they are as "having bipolar disorder" It might be better to compare "recovering from being scammed" to "recovering from the loss of irreplaceable photos" or, "recovering from a burglary of a priceless heirloom, because most burglars are never caught". A very extreme example that most people can relate to is "recovering from the loss of a loved one", but I think people who can relate may not want to be reminded, in the same way that people with mental illness may not want to have it compared to financial loss. Thanks.

I was thinking more of recovery from a physical illness (where organs or limbs, or physical function is lost, and not coming back). I didn't mention mental illness.

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.
