Just in case anyone watching doesn't know: when sending photos to these people, be really careful to strip out any EXIF metadata, as it can sometimes contain stuff you really don't want them to know --- like exactly where the photo was taken.

It's unlikely that these scammers would even know what EXIF metadata is, but I suppose it's a fair precaution to take.

[@likebot.]

@@JanusHoW I wouldn't take the chance. One never knows what training they've had and the tech knowledge up the ladder is sometimes scary good. Which makes one wonder why they've not gone legit with their mad skills.

​@@likebot. The reason why they haven't is probably because these scams make more money than a legitimate job.

[@likebot.]

@@Leonard_MT That's true. The management in these call centers have the tech knowledge and come up with the schemes so they make a lot of money but pay very little to the grunts reading the scripts and making the calls. It's a tough cycle to break. But these same geniuses could be the next Wozniaks, Pages or Brins. Instead of making a million, they might have the business and tech accumen to be billionaires and solve real problems. But low-hanging fruit is all they aspire to.

I've always wondered why photos even have this useless metadata that only serves as a security risk for the person taking it. When did metadata start being added to photos ? Why can't phones just be pre-configured to take a photo with nothing else included ?

18:59 BTW, a lot of US government agencies take misuse of their trademarks and seals _quite_ seriously. When you're reporting scammer bank accounts, also send reports to the relevant government agencies, like reporting that misused USPS logo to the USPS. In aggregate reports make it easier for the agency to allocate funds to combat spam, and many will specifically investigate reports and try to get the relevant spam operation shut down.

[@MuchWhittering]

That's really weird that the last scammer was telling you to go to the post office. Surely all that's likely to happen if a victim does that is they get told it's a scam?

[@AtomicShrimp]

I think they're counting on most potential victims not being anywhere close to that address, and thus, oops, you have to pay the small fee

[@SimonHollingshead]

@@AtomicShrimp I'm not sure whether my Google-Fu has failed me but at least one reviewer claims this is a USPS office for federal employees only, and is actually inside a US Department of State building (Harry S Truman Building). If that's the case you'd be turned away before you even get into the general area where the USPS office is, even if you did attempt to go there.

[@AtomicShrimp]

@@SimonHollingshead that's interesting. I wonder if that is a deliberate choice so as to also trap even the people who are close enough to visit. Either way, I'm pretty sure this is a tactic designed to psychologically frame the fee as something the victim chooses to pay, rather than something that was inherent and mandatory, and thus it creates the illusion that it might not be a scam.

Next time you get the opportunity to scambait an illegal business/trade related scammer, try asking for a bigger piece of the pie. Gradually negotiate up from a 50% cut to a 60% cut, etc-ultimately aiming to get 100% of the funds. All the while you can vent your concerns about how risky this seems, and that maybe if you get X% more, you'll be willing to assist in the endeavor. It may be tricky to pull off, but I think the pay off could be quite good (I mean, you would have 100% of it after all 😉).

[@clonemarine1]

I posed a question on the previous scambait video asking why the Scammer insists you stay home and wait "While the Transfer of Funds is Processed". My suspicions at the time were that it was intended to create a false sense of urgency, and you concurred with that idea. But a new thought just came to me. Maybe they want the victim to stay home to minimize the possibility that somebody will warn them of what's happening? If Gullible Gary takes a trip to the pub to brag about his sudden windfall, it's highly likely one of his pals will care enough to speak up and get Gary to refund that Steam Card before it's too late. Alternatively, he might pop on over to the bank to check on the status of his incoming deposit, only to be told by the Teller that he's being duped. Gotta do what you can to keep him at home until the card code clears processing.

[@AtomicShrimp]

Yeah, could be that, although I think it's also probably just to add an air of legitimacy to the story - you're supposed to stay at home because the promise is that the delivery agent will be right there...

so basically this bank agreed in a board meeting to send you 9 million without knowing your name. Got it.

Tell them there are no Apple cards left in stock but they have Plum Cards and ask them if they wanna hold your Plums

One of the most enjoyable scam baiting videos I've seen on this channel! It's great when a scammer just doesn't see where its going and just carries on trying

great video as always OK.

The company I work for just got a new CEO, and random employees from the company are getting emails, calls, and texts of someone pretending to be that new CEO asking for random things

The "OH MY GOD" scammer sounds very GenZ. 😄😄😄

I was actually expecting Mr Shrimp to steam an apple and send the picture to the scammer.

[@scandicwolf]

Would be kinda funny to buy a Steam card (or any other card), use it, and then send the photo and blame them for "not being able" to type the card code properly, maybe even slightly editing the code ever so slightly so each time they type something slightly different and perhaps get a bit confused. Or maybe saying that you only have something completely made up (like "coin-squirt cards") and editing one that looks kinda realistic. If they ask for a link to where to check out such a card you send some link for a scam awareness site or something. Probably kills the conversation there but could be a bit of fun.

I hate nonsense. I will be informed.
