A Little Nonsense Now And Then (Scambaiting) - Also FAQ: Why Do Scammers Ask For Personal Details?

Did anyone notice the scammer with the subject line "Are you still alive?" was Godwin from the endurance scambaiting video?

Just so you know, you can accept glarded funds even if you're in a tax clode. You just need to fill out a D2 Anti-Cascalation Form and have it grendified by a snarph referee.

"A holity address is always spomed inside a glode" This is how I feel studying for my exams right now

I was really hoping at least one of those scammers would go far enough to forge an "inoppolity certificate."

Regarding the "are you still alive" Email: Wouldn't it be glorious to start out with saying that you are the recently bereaved widow of the account owner and then slowly unfold the story that your husband was a wealthy engineer who died in a plane crash, that you yourself suffer from terminal cancer and that you are looking for a volunteer who would accept your vast fortune under the condition that they donate 50% of it. Of course you should not demand a fee (you're not a scammer), but 'm sure you could come up with all sorts of ridiculous hoops that they have to jump through. I could imagine that the idea of a greeving ill widow with plenty of money would really trigger their greed and you can then slowly turn the story into the usual scam scenario without them noticing.

Even Google knows the souls John Barosa and John Warosa. There are no souls like them.

Asking the scammer to stop sending emails to your spam folder is probably one of your best tricks yet haha

When were you when certificate of inoppolity dies

I like the idea that this character you pretend to be in your emails is completely vulnerable to all of these scams, but is so difficult to work with that he's never actually been scammed. :p

those nonsense words remind me so much of the “what english sounds like to non english speakers” video and it’s messing with my brain lol

I would buy a "Are the funds glarded?" t-shirt.

I know it's been going on for a while, but I really appreciate that he picked up "are you a small boy? as a dismissive insult and it always seems to accelerate the bait.

I love how this happens with every scammer “Have the funds need glarded?” “What do you mean by that?” “I need to know.” “You need to know what?” “I need to know if the funds have been glarded.”

I love when you bring out the "small boy" suggestion. I feel like it really grinds the scammers gears.

"Glarded" is in the Urban Dictionary now. "Glarded funds may not be transferred into an account which is in a tax clode without an inoppolity certificate."

I don't know who needs to know this but my cat really likes watching these videos

I cannot grasp how the gold box scammers could actually keep believing that you could fall for it at this point.

Even I, an English speaker from birth, am feeling like it's somehow my mistake for not understanding these sentences you give to the scammers. They really do seem like actual words we would say xD

22:54 had me giggling. “All you have to do is everything we ask you to do, just follow instructions.” Really glad she cleared that up. 😂😂

Here's a fun idea: the scammers are obviously googling these terms, so you can really mess with them by putting fake articles in place. You could put threatening "ads" in the sidebar. You could also auto-generate a huge chunk of text for them to read through, and delight in them copying it back to you. And if you control the Web server, you might be able to get their IP address.
