Scammer argues for 22 mins w/ scambaiting phonebot, trying to convince it to pay some airport taxes

When this call happened, my scambaiter friend who goes by "Saddam Hussein's Boobs" was replying to all scam emails by adding each scammer to every email.
The scambaiter's character is like Franklin: Old, obnoxious, with memory problems and was claiming that his computer was infected but could not do much about it. Scammers rarely use "reply-all" but when they do, it gets funny when they fight over the victim.
That's the reason why this scammer says in the beginning "You deal with a lot of scammers, do not pick up their calls unless you are given the code I will give you". He is also already aware of the infamous (fake, but they don't know it) scammer James Morgan (played by me in the emails) that always snipes payments that were supposed to be sent to them.
In this call:
Franklin remembers the massive amounts of cocaine he did with John Travolta back in the 80s, and that's maybe the reason he has memory problems.
He also explains to the scammer that his car (or "automobile-machine" as Franklin calls it) caught on fire when a small boy tried to steal it, and they were both burned to ashes. That was fortunate for the police, because they didn't have to conduct any investigation.
The scammer's thick accent reminded Franklin of a neighbor of his from back in the 90's, when he was looking for diamonds in Zimbabwe. They would play nintendo all night long, and his neighbor would always get a high score in Super Mario Bros 3. The scammer get very confused by this and he explains that "the boy who wanted to steal from you will be put under (sic) the bar".
The scammer reassures Franklin that he is a very good christian, he does only legal things, he is legitimate and the presidents of the USA and Africa (the continent obviously) know him very well. He would never betray him, he doesn't need his money and he only tells the truth.
Franklin wants the scammer to explain the whole thing again, because his old brain is damaged since his teenage years when he was smoking pot every single day.
Franklin reminds the scammer that his computer is being watched by hackers, according to a Microsoft technician who helped him install a firewall not very long ago. So he should stop sending him emails and communicate only by phone (trying to get them to keep calling).
Franklin also reminds the scammer that he suffers from short-term memory loss, so he asks them to remind him the amount he has to pay. It magically increased from $300 to $500... However, Franklin remembers that he has already paid this amount to James Morgan. The scammer explains that they are not in position to confirm it and that Franklin should still play, maybe via a Western union or Google play card, or iTunes card...
Scammer explains that the 9.5 million have been converted to and ATM card, and that Franklin will be able to withdraw $6.5K every day.
Franklin then agrees, and asks the scammer to wait for him while he goes looking for pen and paper. Unfortunately, he has an accident and forgets what he was looking for... Scammer tries to remind him in vain.
Later Franklin remembers that he hasn't given him the gift card code, and proceeds to read very very fast a bogus code, and then repeats it slower.
The supposed gift card is the following, in the way Franklin reads it:
"Y" as in You
"0" as in Double-oh-seven
"U" as in Urn
"4" as in 3 plus 2, minus 1
"R" as in Rimjob
"E" as in Eye
"A" as in Are
"N" as in Nancy-boy
"I" Just like the roman numeric form of the number one
"D" as in Double-you
"1" as in 0.5 multiplied by 2
"O" as in Ouija board
"T" as in Tsunami
"S" as in Sea
"C" as in Cue
"4" as in 3 plus 1
"M" as in Mnemonic
"M" as in the roman numeric form of one thousand
"3" as in tree but with an "H" between T and R
"R" as the second letter of the word "wrap"
If you haven't noticed, it reads:
Y0U4 REAN ID1O TSC4 MM3R
or
Y0U 4RE AN ID1OT SC4MM3R
No scammer has ever been able to decipher it and it brings a tear on my face...

"You can't steal what you do not own." Then wtf *can* you steal?

[@scamchan]

I think the bot is smarter than these scam boys

[@BardhokNdoji]

"Even the president of the United States knows me very well" The amount of BS these scammers spit out is mind-boggling!

[@bodrulsingh2141]

I love it when the bot calls them little boy, they normally find it offensive.

[@Tabascofanatikerin]

The main reason they do not act offended about it is because they have dollar signs in their eyes all the time ^^

[@stpfs9281]

"D" as in Double-you, hahaha! "R" as the second letter of the word "wrap", OMG. All of them are deviously designed, kudos. A bit worried about his inclination for small boys.

[@292Nigel]

I'd give this scammer 15 years! 😡😡

[@user-fy7ru4ii1i]

2:41 - "I apologize, I almost fell asleep" That was so well timed. Great job! 5:06 - "You can't steal what you do not own"...coming from a scammer. Hearing the scammer get more and more frustrated and defeated near the end was great.

I wonder if the guy was trying to write down the gift card code.

[@jrjubach]

It’s scary to hear him saying all the right things.

The scammers vocabulary improved and started to ape the AI bot by saying my dear

Oh God... Oh god... I am about to die from laughing !!!

[@mollytaylor8122]

You could skip through some of what the scammer says, but other than that, this is incredible! Can't wait to hear more

[@andrewvelonis5940]

I disagree. The mounting frustration in a scammer's voice is part of what makes these so much fun. You need the context to achieve this.

[@Byrvurra]

Nah I like hearing the whole thing.

[@toddcott9510]

Thank you for the clarification darling. Brilliant 👍

Yeah! I used uberduck.ai for text-to-speech and chose FDR's voice to record the bot's clips!

[@jaylockwood5030]

@@franklin_scambaiting_phonebot did you have to play clips of FDR speeches on uberduck for it to get the voice?

[@franklin_scambaiting_phonebot]

Not at all! Well, to be honest, at least not me. The creator of the text-to-speech voice (called BibbyBob on the uberduck.ai platform) probably did exactly this, used speeches of FDR to train the model.

I still have a hard time getting my head around this. Clearly, the scam works enough times to keep the scammers working. But who really and truly believes they just inherited $millions from somewhere in Africa - just out of the blue?

Some people in the USA believe Trump is literally Jesus. There are all sorts of gullible people.

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

According to science there is no more productive use of time than pestering scammers, observing scammers being pestered is high on the list as well. Also, based on in-depth observations, there will be many real-life Franklins in the world in a few short decades. Providing they do not succumb to the self-destructive inclinations of course.
