    Reupload - This is a reupload (of a video released 3 hours prior). Sorry - necessary to correct an accidental slight breach of privacy
  • @faithborak7375
    “I’m in a huge crowd of people right now and all of them, without a single exception, are screaming” is going to be my new go-to excuse for not calling people
  • @colaptesauratus
    absolute victory is getting a scammer to deny that they are a small boy. i love it so much
  • @Lewufuwi
    Actually laughed out loud when you bartered with him for $6.50, that was hilarious
  • @sIight
    The fact that “FBI Department” ended their email with “We’ll not remind you again.” and then copy and pasted their whole email multiple times was pure gold.
  • @dash3995
    "Death is the only thing that can kill me" Just wanted to say that was hilarious and that you are a comedic genius
  • @Bloodray19
    My friend, i'm not a small boy. I'm a fully adult man who knows their rights and lefts
  • @JiltedValkyrie
    "Time is money, eh?" in response to the "$24 hours" was honestly brilliant. I got a good laugh at that!
  • @killdozer7792
    OK, that seven continents one seemed to imply that they were targeting Antarctica. Does this mean they're now scamming penguins too? UNFORGIVABLE!!
  • @ryanallen2001
    I LOVE when the "Are you a small boy?" line makes it way in there.
  • @SpookySUI
    like i commented on the original upload: I think it would be funny for you to email to the whole list an already redeemed gift card code. So the scammers would try it only to find out it was already used, if only they had been quicker! it might even rile them up, since they'll start thinking they can actually get something out of you.
  • @JIL713
    Who knew Mange was such an amazing negotiator. He quickly reduced the fee from $100 to $6.50 in a few emails.
  • @tlange5091
    "All of them, without a Single exeption, are screaming". Thank you for making me laugh!
  • @Scum42
    The "dimes do not exist" angle had me howling.
  • @SaintSabre
    "Is it really a selection if it's all of them?" is a question I often ask myself when staring down an empty box of chocolates.
  • @mihaelkYeah
    When the FBI said "are you normal" I cried of laughter Edit: oh my God, I didn't know
  • @peterclarke7240
    "I am with a large group of people right now, and all of them, without exception, are screaming." And thus, the Lore of Slaughter Valley continues...
  • @jameselliot9114
    2:35 what's more is in the signature they have "résultat de recherche d'images pour 'Christine Lagarde, IMF Managing Directors and Chairman'" ("Image search results for...") suggesting they wanted to have a picture of Christine Lagarde in there but were too technologically inept to get the actual image
