3:41, that's just Microsoft Word's standard ligature mode - fi, ffi, ae and oe amongst others will be automatically joined like that - it's not a correction.

[@eifbkcn]

It's a bit more complicated than that. Some typefaces have certain combination that they will put into ligatures, often things like fi and ffi; this is a typeface setting, and these letters are still seperate entities. There is a second formal set of ligature characters scattered throughout Unicode, the English set is U+FB00 to U+FB06. This includes fi and ffi as single characters, as well as ff, fl, ffl, ſt and st. These seven characters exist in any typeface, because they are themselves characters, rather than a typeface display option. Æ, æ, Œ and œ also belong to the latter class, except they aren't simply ligatures. They are letters themselves in other languages. Even though you might sometimes see usage in english (í.e. archæology or œconomic) these are certain words where these letters can be used, mainly a remnent from older forms of english, as well as loan words from other languages. They are not just two letters that you can combine when you feel like it.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Ah, did not know that, but it raises the question... what software are they using that supports ligatures, but still yields such atrocious results generally?

[@eifbkcn]

@@AtomicShrimp it is probably just the font they are using that supports that ligature. You would have to figure out the font to know for sure, but I doubt they know enough about typography and care enough to use the actual ligature character

[@seritools]

@@AtomicShrimp The problem here is that it is a monospaced font, but somehow still has ligatures that jam both letters into the space of one, it seems. Very weird!

[@seritools]

@@eifbkcn Oh, that actually may be it though! The font is monospaced, so there is no reason for it to have ligatures in the way this does (fi in the space of one letter)

Here is a question - don't you think these scammers would seem (very slightly, still not at all) more believable if they tried using a smaller amount of money they are offering and worked it up as they discussed with the victim?

[@GwyndolinOwO]

i think that's kinda tricky, but i can't imagine they'd do something new if this wasn't working. they might have to do it all day to get one or two people- but they are still asking for like 500 dollars. think of it this way- the people who would honestly believe they are getting the money are most likely ALSO the same type of person to send 200-500 dollars to a random person. They just have way too much trust in things i think. plus no one is going to spend 500 dollars to get 1000 dollars, the huge amount helps the victim feel like what they are about to spend is chump change

[@JohnSmith-li5pj]

That also begs the question, why the fuck do the scammers not at least attempt to make their emails comprehensible in the language they are dealing with... the emails read like the ramblings of a 2 year old on cocaine.

[@hittingyouoverthehead]

In contrast, the over-the-phone scams attempt to be a lot more "realistic" and can scam far more people who just don't know what they're doing.

[@vgamesx1]

6:40 On the topic of protecting emails, I thought you would've brought this up but here's a third reason: People automatically assume the domain/email is directly from a scammer, even if it doesn't happen too often, websites/email services get hacked and abused meaning even legitimate sites can occasionally send out dodgy emails or malware, so although they should do a better job securing their server it's not exactly fair to them if a bunch of vigilantes out for justice also start attacking them while trying to fix it.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Absolutely, in fact the 'from' address in the initial email is nearly always spoofed (only when I click reply do I actually get the scammer's real address) - so if I were to reveal that initial email address, I could be making trouble for completely innocent parties - and you can bet KZbin would descend on me pretty hard for that, if one of them complained.

Fun Fact: The weird "i" at 3:40 is not a real error, in some fonts, when you type a lowercase f followed by a lowercase i, it will be connected, because otherwise the dot on the i would collide with the f. That's called a ligature. In a title like that, it should still be avoided though.

[@hedgehogmpj]

Generally you don't want to call out mistakes as it would educate the scammer.

[@Xahnel]

Scammers drop people who are too canny in their questions. Sure, it's perhaps mildly satisfying in the short term to catch them out in their obvious lies, but the goal is not to prove them to be scammers. You already know for a fact they are scammers, and so do they. No, you need to appear simple, naive, trusting, greedy, or desperate enough that they think they've hooked you, and find ways to draw out the conversation. You want to force them to break the script and put real time and effort into stringing you along. They have to believe you believe them, so they are willing to waste their time on the dead end. Fun fact, you can even train those scammers to be more impatient and obvious with people who are genuinely vulnerable to scams, just by infuriating them with your endless questions, inquiries, incidents, awkwardness, and money teasing; which will reduce the number of people who get actually get caught up in a scam.

Eric Castiglia is a true legend. Man has true fun doing these songs and I love watching him do crazy shit with crazy lyrics. Please collab even more!

[@OzGeologyOfficial]

Plane crash AM or plane crash PM! That's the true question here! xD

Excellent video as always my friend! I couldn't believe my eyes seeing the Benjamin Franklin lol 😂

You left out the best part of the Death Certificate Not only was the Time of Death listed as “Plane Crash”, the _Cause_ of Death was listed as... _Hemorrhage_

[@legion999]

Hey Atomic, this is a bit off-topic but I've just finished watching your Weird Stuff In A Can playlist and I wanted to ask: have you ever tried kvass? The russian/slavic sweet fermented bread drink? Might be interesting for a future episode if you can find it.

[@MeCooper]

I read "sweet fermented bread drink" several times and still can't quite wrap my head around it hahaha Best I can imagine it as is some kind of beer porridge. Haha time to google! Edit: Ok yeah... I gotta try that!

[@legion999]

@@MeCooperMake sure it's relatively real kvass and not just a flavoured sugar drink.

[@KdosdaHegen]

Yea, I'd love to see him testing kvass.

[@skullchimes]

im p sure that's just called root beer

[@legion999]

@@skullchimes Not at all my friend, but there are some similarities.

Fantastic. Weird stuff in a can brought me on board and I've been working through your back catalogue over the past few weeks. You have such a diverse range of content that I can't ever get bored of your channel, thanks Mr. Shrimp!

As someone who is currently learning to become a graphic designer these “certificates” stress me out too much XD

as a Mexican that fake death certificate (from the country of "Distrite Federal") is so laughably bad

[@theincrediblefox]

Very entertaining video once again. This was exactly what i needed today, some scambaiting, with that unique Atomic Shrimp humor. I think i might have an idea for a future scam baiting session (apologies, if someone already suggested this). When you've got one on the hook with peticularly outragous grammar and typing, point out all the mistakes to him, and refuse to proceed until he send a corrected eMail. Thats garuanteed to make them frustrated or angry.

[@BipolarPancakes]

While your scam videos are my favorite, I do love the other videos you make. I'm happily subscribed and looking forward to new videos. Thank you for all you do to keep your gremlins entertained.

[@ArmoredSoul1]

The reason they contact you as if they've contacted you before is just in case they have, or in case you've gotten a similar template. It's also a confidence trick and helps them justify urgency.

[@Cayden1988]

Don't think anyone expected Batman to be in this video, good job Batman for dealing with the scammers.

[@steubenbreunden]

I've been binging all your videos and just wanted to say - you are a delight. Thank you.

[@fabioarturospada4178]

Interestingly, Mexico City [the capital of Mexico, the country] was called the Federal District [Distrito Federal] until a few years ago, which I think the death certificate is *trying* to refer to. San Luis Potosí is a state within Mexico, and it's also the name of the capital city of that state, but San Luis Potosí and Mexico City are around 400km apart. Mr. Saba's death gets more intriguing by the minute...

[@green_blues]

Oh wow, it's plane crash o'clock already? Time really flies.

[@jamess854]

There really are no other souls like the souls called Mr Atomic Shrimp and Mr Eric Castiglia. I binged on these scam baiting videos recently, to the point of actually having nightmares about being hacked and having my bank funds stolen. Well worth the terror though.

My death certificate will say I died at "suicide o'clock pm"

[@treborironwolfe978]

I learn something new every time I watch one of Shrimp's videos. For example, I never knew that Ben Franklin died in a plane crash.

[@karlwessels5819]

Agreed

[@Señor-Donjusticia]

In the United States, we use Plane Crash military time, so I can understand your confusion.

Ah, plane crash hundred hours!
