*Afterthoughts & Addenda* *"It's pronounced 'eye-cloud'* 🙄 iSuggest you look a little more closely at what the scammer actually wrote. iThink you might have missed something. iWonder if you can tell what it is... *You should make a video about [some other type of scam]* - I appreciate the suggestion, but if you've not seen a video about some specific category of scam from me, it's probably because I haven't encountered it. I tend to make videos about things I have experienced, because I can talk (somewhat) meaningfully from that experience. As to *why* I haven't seen certain categories of scam - I expect they are tailoring/targeting based on the audience profile (people mention them being common on Minecraft videos), or perhaps keywords/hashtags in the video title that I don't tend to use.

I have been investigating something like this myself for about a week, since i kept getting reply notifications on my old (1-2 year old) comments and thought it was weird how all of these spambots (usually ones with 18+ profile photos) can now say things that are vaguely similar to the topic of the video, (rather than just “click on my profile” thats just in their usernames now) so i think they scan the entire comment section and make up a “formulated” sentence from that

[@IamaPERSON]

I think the worst part is that as long as people are stupid/naive enough to believe it's real, there's always gonna be scammers.

[@tirsden]

Thing is, the bad grammar is a way to weed out the people that weren't going to fall for it in the first place, or who might initially show interest and then realize the whole thing is shady. I get a lot of "your paypal account has been restricted / suspended / etc" emails lately, and I don't click them, but the subject lines have proper spelling and grammar. Mousing over the username shows the email address and it's always some janky crap from a garbage url. Into the spam bucket they go!

Also, if the claimed returns were something reasonable, like 50% in 24 months instead of 500% in 2 weeks.

It’s amazing how much more believable these bots would be if they automated incredulity. Like, “Why are you guys talking about investing on a video that has nothing to do with investing?” “Idk, but at least Ms. Airplane Jane is a fairly decent investor. Still weird you guys all got together to talk about her for two minutes nonstop.”

[@grubbygeorge2117]

It’d be more believable if they didn’t all use the exact same sentence structure and grammar too. Some should use full sentences. Some should capitalise but abandon punctuation. Some should abandon capitalisation altogether. Spelling mistakes that’re not made by other bots would also give a stronger impression that it’s not all been written by one person. They likely do this for a reason, though. As often with these kinds of “cheap” scams, the initial bait is made somewhat believable, but still absurd enough that the only people who’ll message them are the types to fall for it. If they gave the impression of a real investor to someone who otherwise wouldn’t fall for it but the person catches up on the red flags throughout the WhatsApp conversation, that’s wasted time for them.

I've seen another (very annoying) form of KZbin spam in the past few weeks, with a similar username trick. It seems to take the form of the bot replying to my own top-level comment on any video from a high-viewcount channel up to a few months old - the spam comment itself will be coherent, witty, and relevant to the video - so I believe they are copypastes of real comments, probably those with a lot of upvotes. The profile pic and username will invariably be of an attractive young lady, directing readers to her profile page where they will find content linking to (very likely fake) dating sites. Sometimes this content will be masqueraded inside a KZbin Playlist, but it's always prominent as the rest of the profile is empty.
