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.

@@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.

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.

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.

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...

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 😉).

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.
