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.

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.

Atomic Shrimp: you are consistently the most effective treatment for my insomnia. While I love watching your videos and find them hilarious and interesting while conscious, you have a FANTASTIC voice for soothing me to sleep. It reminds me of when I was in school and would fall asleep in class, even if I found the subject interesting. I just am really grateful and want to express that without making you feel as if I find your videos boring.
