"This summary isn't very detailed" sounds like a very similar game to one my old Practice Educator used to play with me when I was a first year student on placement in a hospital, but we called it "Guess What I'm Thinking of Without Me Offering Any Form of Hint or Guidance." Such a fun game.
reminds me of a game i played with a coworker once, "Say I Can Give You A Ride Home But When It Comes Time To Leave I Didn't Say That" i lost, obviously
when i was a kid me and my dad played a game where we would guess the song the other person was singing. i really wanted to win, so in order to pick a song my dad wasn't familiar i asked him "tell me a song that you don't know" lol

I absolutely love "this summary isn't very detailed", it's such a simple idea but forces the scammer to write two emails restating something they've already said.
@@AtomicShrimp I feel like the short form of a three or four line summary also forces the scammer to try to phrase the basic premise of the scam, which is much more obviously a scam when read without all the side tangents and unrelated extra details, in such a way that it doesn't raise a million red flags. Then to be able to reinflate that into a more detailed statement in a way that, as you said, isn't just copy/paste. It probably wastes a LOT of their time

It's really depressing when a scammer dumps you. We thought things were going so well. Why can't they return your calls? What did you ever do to them? 💔
Yeah, I thought we had a good thing going. They'd send some long prewritten text, I'd pretend I cared about it, then they would ask for the kind of information you should never give out on the Internet, while profusely assuring me (be rest assured!) they are 100 percent legitimate, then... I'd add them to the list.
I'm usually the one to dump scammers on the dating site I frequent. When it becomes screamingly obvious that they are a scammer (divorced/widowed, ONE kid, military, and super poor English) it becomes time to give them the boot. "Why insulted me?" one typed when I started in on him. It's since become a joke at work. XD
One of my former bosses loved to play a spinoff of the "this summary isn't very detailed" game, it was called "i need a report of the xyz" and then say "this isn't what I want the report to show", such fun.
Yeah, I had one a bit like that. I was asked to publish a KPI report for my department, but the senior management team didn't like how it demonstrated that my team was quite effective.
@@AtomicShrimp you should have offered to write a different KPI report that didn't show you as effective. Different KPIs like stopping world wars. interpreting bosses instructions in advance. playing golf during works days etc.
@@Geffro It was a similar deal with the oil thing, but it was a plant called Saffron that looked like red string, and that is basically it. I may have left out some important details while writing this summary, as it doesn't seem very detailed to me, but well.

“I am 101% sure that there is no risk whatsoever associated to this transaction.” Well that’s a relief, I always found that transactions with 100% free risk are too high of a risk.
Have you ever tried taking some of those hilariously bad fake documents that scammers send you and using them to reply to other scammer's requests for personal details? I wonder if some of them would fall for it.
Unsure whether or not it would even be important enough to focus on if the end goal is just collecting the fee. If not for some means like information selling or identify theft (unsure how common the 2nd one is), the IDs and information templates simply existed to make them seem more believable... Nevertheless it would be funny.
The twist at the end was genius, but I would expect that from you. It's so funny that on the same channel you can find wholesome cooking, slow TV, kind-of-vlogs, but also dystopic humour shorts and scambaiting. And I love every bit of it !
I'm not into absolutely everything he posts, but that just means he makes a wide variety of content - and that's perfectly fine. In fact, that makes his channel better than most, in my opinion. There's something for everyone here.
The summary not being very detailed reminds me of how in university professors would ask us to summarize a scientific article bearing in mind the authors had written a perfectly good abstract that accomplishes that better than anyone.
Recognised every single one of those last questions from my US visa application, but then absolutely lost my shit at "Would you like to?". Twist I didn't see coming
Glad the US visa application has to ask if you've committed genocide. Because that clearly means at one point we had too many people entering the US that had committed genocide. And we were over our genocide quota for the day.
That "would you like to?" was so unexpected. Watching this on the bus and I nearly spat orange juice everywhere laughing and people gave me looks, that was so bloody funny
8:08 I gotten this email before. Whatever last name you use in your email, when you respond they will use it as the last name of the supposed dead relative. One-time I responded using the name Mr Bojangles. They claimed my relatives name was Richard Bojangles aka Dick Bojangles.😂

The new Flange lore adds quite an interesting twist to her character arc. A secret warlord and crime boss operating from the shadows masquerading as a naïve and very confused sweet old lady...
That middle man scam, gave me an idea. What if you tried to get them to admit to using money mules, but that you were an animal rights activist and that they should use plants instead or something else absurd.
That ending was so unexpected, I think you actually managed to scare the scammer. Like not just a quick shock, but a lasting feeling of uneasiness. As in, "I casually chatted with someone who's caused WAY more trouble than me, and she was so friendly! Who else around me could be like this under the hood?"
I just use a dot com address. The scammers don't know what country you are in. The email is template and goes to a huge list of potential victims. The 'investment in your country' is a lie, all of it.
@@AtomicShrimp I thought so, that's why Richard Paulo Santiago kept asking for your country even though he should already know since Mr B*nson lived "there". Although that scammer was extra dumb, I wouldn't put it past him missing an obvious detail like that haha.
Hey Atomic Shrimp I have been fellowing your scam videos for some time now and what I like the most is you're consistent use of past scammer reference's with new scammers
Here's an idea. What if when theysuggest a barrister, you say that you've previously had a bad experience with that barrister and if you could chose another barrister, perhaps one of who there is no soul like?
I think my favorite Monica Flange moment was the "It's a secret" response to the scammer asking how she cleared her urbertexpic. I laughed out loud at that lmao
Somehow i feel like my students would be very good at this “the summary isn’t very detailed” game of yours. They ask questions already answered in the text on a daily basis. 😂
It's always a good day when AS uploads PS maybe try blocking the "point up" emoji like you did the scammers' names from the comments section? Not sure if youtube recognizes that though
This can go in an amazing direction! You can become a sort of "mentor" to the scammers that want to rise up the ladder in the world of crime, but all you give them is the most absurd and useless "tips" and "advice" and maybe even some ridiculous tasks 🤣 With promises that if they do what u tell them, they'll surely rise up the ranks! Long time subscriber here, love your channel, Atomic shrimp, keep it up good sir! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love the horrific, broken English they use. "I take you not to be serious about this transaction" is just great. This kind of thing is EXACTLY why I started going to school with a concentration in cybersecurity. I really just want to bring down just one scammer. Some jerk who's out there ripping off older, unsuspecting, people without enough tech savvy to realize or understand that they're getting ripped off. I just think of these people and visions of my grandmother being taken for a fool by these scammers is all my very limited imagination can muster and I just get all upset. So, I'm going to try to at very least help stop some of these scammers. I fully approve of your wasting as much of their time as you possibly can!
I love these kinds of videos, I'm glad that even if most scambaiting sessions end without anything interesting, shorter bits like these can be compiled like this.
that's hilarious. "this is too long, please summarize" followed by "this summary is lacking detail, please expound on it." The number of people in the comments mentioning that they've played that game with their supervisors, makes it significantly less humorous.
'Philips Benelux' being the name of an investment advisor dealing with a deceased Belgian client has to be the simultaneous greatest/dumbest scammer name ever featured in this series.
WOW. Monica went off the rails. I've never seen her go dark like that. Hopefully that scammer .... oops, I mean "totally legit paid assistant" will help her.

5:48 I like the subtle joke with copy pasting the drug name, playing on how they seem to have just dropped the name into every other line of their previous message.
Ive always wondered what the spread of the locations of where the scammers are. Obviously they are mostly in countries we know about. But ive seen quite a bit of scammeres that have been tracked to people in america.
Canada has scammers, but because our entire population is only 38 million _souls_ the numbers of scammers isn't enought to draw much attention to us. It seems these days that most of our victims of Canadian scammers are people looking for places to rent through social media. Some of our moving companies, coincidentally, are outright scams too.
@@eternalextrapolations you know that white people can be scammers too, right? The way you phrased that makes the implication that "those dirty scammers [read: brown people] are coming to live here"
Even when they dump you early, I think it's a victory every time they are made to write several new paragraphs of text or produce "identify card" attachments. Proof they are kept busy for a while. Edit: Also I LOVE the requests for more detailed summaries 😆
When first scammer mentioned "Barrister Brandon Graham" the certain song about different, familiar barrister started to play in my head, and then I imagined them with "Death Battle" intro cards.
Monica: "Have you ever participated, ordered, directed, or assisted in torture or genocide?" Scammer: "No?" Monica: "Would you like to? I help people." Scammer: Wat Lady face.
This is terrible 😣 As someone who has grown close to Mr Shrimp 🍤 I am crestfallen when the soul called John Warosa and his henchmen (henchpersons , henchwomen and non binary’s) leave him before the relationship has even got off the ground 😞
LOL "I help people" That was funny ! These are always funny but taking it to the creepy extreme or creepxtreme at the end gave it that bit extra bit of "oomph" or impact from a surprise direction that will have folks talking/thinkinb about it for years. Sorta like an X-file ep.
Whenever I see a scam email starting with 'Hello Dear' I automatically start reading it in the voice of Frankie Howerd. Except if it was him and I said I wasn't interested, he'd probably just respond, 'Please yourself'.
I recently started working a call center sales job and i gotta say these scammers are very persistent. Our business model is literally just "call every small business in x area and only speak with the owners then read this script" which is shockingly similar to most phone scams, and we are instructed to prioritize quantity of calls over getting strung along like this.

the last line!! gold as always, shrimp
‘Hello Dear’. Yep, we all start off business emails to strangers that way. So convincing.
I love the attention to detail you have. The exploding bulb got me 🤣
Oh God, I wasn't ready for that ending. That was so good. I can't stop laughing.
5:48 I like the subtle joke with copy pasting the drug name, playing on how they seem to have just dropped the name into every other line of their previous message.
"Would you like to? I help People" 👁👄👁
I know you're very experienced with scambaiting and identifying scammers and all
but
He did use green checkmarks
He cannot logically be a scammer
Exactly! He literally said "LEGIT ✅ TRUSTED ✅ SAFE". What more proof do you need of this honest worker?
@@theninjascientist689 I dunno, I don't think I can trust it unless there's a ✅ after "SAFE" too.
@@theninjascientist689 preach brother
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter the devil is in the details, keep up the good work
That last one with Monica was brilliant. Well deserving of its own video
Monica seems to have a very dark backstory 🤣 i love the lore
Ive always wondered what the spread of the locations of where the scammers are. Obviously they are mostly in countries we know about. But ive seen quite a bit of scammeres that have been tracked to people in america.
That makes sense. A lot of them are now living within our borders.
Canada has scammers, but because our entire population is only 38 million _souls_ the numbers of scammers isn't enought to draw much attention to us. It seems these days that most of our victims of Canadian scammers are people looking for places to rent through social media. Some of our moving companies, coincidentally, are outright scams too.
@@eternalextrapolations you know that white people can be scammers too, right? The way you phrased that makes the implication that "those dirty scammers [read: brown people] are coming to live here"
@@eternalextrapolations ETERNAL!!! OMYGOSH.. I haven't seen you for a minute. How are you?
@@artistknownaslisa2850 Hey! Good to see you 🙂👍 How are you?
I don't mind that these don't have the climactic endings you aim for. I'd love to see more videos from this series :)
I'm so sorry you got dumped. I'm sure eventually you will find someone special who will stick 😉
Even when they dump you early, I think it's a victory every time they are made to write several new paragraphs of text or produce "identify card" attachments. Proof they are kept busy for a while.
Edit: Also I LOVE the requests for more detailed summaries 😆
You realize they copy paste from templates right?
@@n646n Not always. In many cases, if the scammers think they are close to getting something, they will address specific concerns of the baiter.
When first scammer mentioned "Barrister Brandon Graham" the certain song about different, familiar barrister started to play in my head, and then I imagined them with "Death Battle" intro cards.
I laughed for longer than I should’ve at the “your summary didn’t have enough detail” bit
I'm already cracking up at Citibank's "Hello dear, please..." Because that is totally how a bank would email you, LMAOOO. 😭
Another great video... Thanks Mr Shrimp
Oh my god! You got me at "Would you like to?"
I'm still giggling like a schoolgirl. 😁
I had one of those suspense accounts when I was younger. Is there enough money to make a card withdrawal? Will the cheque I've just written bounce?
Scammers seem to love the number $8.5 millions dollar USD. There could be a specific reason for that which you could speculate on.
Especially the last example made me laugh with almost criminal intensity. Oh my, a thousand hugs to the greatest youtuber there is.
"Red string" still gets me so good. I can't hear that in any context without laughing
Monica: "Have you ever participated, ordered, directed, or assisted in torture or genocide?" Scammer: "No?" Monica: "Would you like to? I help people." Scammer: Wat Lady face.
That ending was amazing. Perfectly executed
Wow, that "Would you like to? I help people." was such a power quote lmao
This is terrible 😣
As someone who has grown close to Mr Shrimp 🍤 I am crestfallen when the soul called John Warosa and his henchmen (henchpersons , henchwomen and non binary’s) leave him before the relationship has even got off the ground 😞
Think how the barrister Mohammed Hassan feels. He got his legitimate negotiations hijacked by the soul called mister barrister John Warosa
LOL. Monica Flange sounds more like Monica Edgy. Does she have a backstory in municipal administration of, say, Slaughteron?
So many transactions being 100% risk-free can be explained simply : these transactions include absolutely no strategy game produced by Hasbro.
LOL "I help people" That was funny ! These are always funny but taking it to the creepy extreme or creepxtreme at the end gave it that bit extra bit of "oomph" or impact from a surprise direction that will have folks talking/thinkinb about it for years. Sorta like an X-file ep.
Ohhhh Monica got dark at the end...I like it!!!
Love it when I get simultaneously notified about Africa Everyday and Radioactive Prawn in the same ping 😉
That last line got a belly laugh from me.
16:40 am I correct in thinking these are the questions from a US visa form? I remember answering them, wondering who would even answer Yes...
usually the instagram scambaiting is boring to me but this one really made me chuckle, i love Monica Flange coaxing the fake hacker into crimes
Whenever I see a scam email starting with 'Hello Dear' I automatically start reading it in the voice of Frankie Howerd. Except if it was him and I said I wasn't interested, he'd probably just respond, 'Please yourself'.
Hahaha the last one was brilliant! Laughed out loud!
Monica Flange, I hope to hear from you soon 👌😂
Monica is going through a very...interesting development.
Or is she just dropping the disguise?
Who knows!
I recently started working a call center sales job and i gotta say these scammers are very persistent. Our business model is literally just "call every small business in x area and only speak with the owners then read this script" which is shockingly similar to most phone scams, and we are instructed to prioritize quantity of calls over getting strung along like this.
