"which is why we are entrusting you, random internet stranger who for all we know may or may not be a Christian, with this estate". I don't see any red flags in this. Nope, it's obviously completely legit.

Gotta love these narratives.
YAY more scam baiting!!! By the way, you should consider using a new tactic in your efforts to mess with the scammers head: towards the end of the bait, stop responding to the scammer for about a week, then email them from a new email, claiming to be an associate of your former character - tell the scammer that your partner( the character you were previously acting as) died in an unfortunate accident, and make the scammers start all over again, claiming that you cant send them money until they fully explain the scam again to your new character... Of course don't make it easy for them the second time! EDIT: thanks for a hundred likes!
If that did work, it be great for him to keep it going and have the 2nd character "die" so a 3rd character can make the scammer start again, and so on and so on. 😸
@@pcbros8671 he made a video where he constantly delegated to other people (other accounts) so the scammer had to start again every time IIRC he also made one where the character died and the scheme was picked up by his wife or attorney
4:18 "Kill two birds with a stone" sounds like he just bashed each bird to death with the stone. Also "dear mange tout in christ" sounds like someone got greedy taking communion.
19:52 The most brilliant line of questioning I've ever read in my life!!! "So, if I am understanding you correctly..... And by extension, I will be always was now?" LMFAO
As a point of interest, I think I can shed some light on the phrase, "I'd like to ask a question" - since it opens the door for a long diversion from the main topic at hand, it can be nice to give whoever you're asking a chance to ask you to wait a bit, so they can finish their own point and then shift gears to whatever rabbit hole the question might bring. If it's a short question, I totally get how that can be a frustrating thing! But I've found it helps keep the pace of discussions (especially ones with a lot of technical or winding explanations) to be a more mutually agreed on thing. In the case of scambaiting though?? Brilliant. Just thought I'd share in case you ever wondered what use the phrase could have. Thanks for the vids as always !
12:08 I absolutely LOVE the subtle dystopian reality among all these scam emails where there was a time on UA-cam where you couldn't even mention the C-word without getting defunded.
I started watching because of these Scam baiting videos but I subscribed and continued watching because of all the other weird and interesting videos you do. I enjoy the variety!
I feel like the John Mike one might have been a troll who got your email address somehow. The whole thing about, "They don't know the gold-plated container contains money, I told them it was full of gold bars" was a bit much, and somehow the spelling/mistranslations seemed even worse than most actual scammers, like a troll who was trying too hard.
I think it’s more likely they were just copying and pasting translations like usual and another script was about a shipment of gold bars (the gold bars being in brackets seems like they’d originally put smth like ‘insert word here’ and then not taken the brackets away... maybe I’m overthinking this 😭)
6:46 thats one hell of an attempt at a scam (worth pausing btw) thanks for the upload, i don't think i'll ever get bored of you scam-bait content it's great stuff.
5:39 - Ahh, finally, Atomic Shrimp corpsing, what a rare find! Gotta put it on the shelf next to the Antonio Stella bottom tile, that should compliment it nicely. =)
You've inspired me to make my own scambaiting videos, so thanks a bunch for doing what you're doing! Scambaiting doesn't always work out video-quality, but it's all in good fun.
I just love your scambaiting. You are messing with the scammers but never give up the moral high-ground by insulting their person or something like that. It's very commendable!
This is the first vid where you actually lost your composure and laughed when they mentioned delivering the money in golden boxes that he told the mailing service was bars of gold.
I love your show. It’s like a story book reading, where I could just kick back and listen to you terrorise these scammers. But it be good if you could do more shut them down.
Man, scambaiting is really an art isnt it? You have to constantly think about not giving them too much info so they cant improve their scams yet still manage to somehow one up them and waste their time. I love it. Keep it up mate.
Scammers don't try to improve their scams as much anymore because anyone who is willing and able to take the time to read the whole thing would see their scams for what they are. They want people who are vulnerable and are either too confused, distressed, elderly or a combination of the three to do so.
@JanusHoW Well plus there's only so much you can improve anyway but there are things scammers can learn to make it harder for them to be tricked or to make it easier for them to scam. I.e what to say for best effect, how to spot Vms, etc.
this is by far the best episode of scammers who dumped me. i've watched this video many times over the past 2 years and the gold plated box gets me every time
Eric Castiglia and you do make a good team. As for the scammers, shame when they don't bite - it's a delightful thing when you manage to really waste their time.
I got a phone call yesterday from someone who said they were from my health insurance, mentioning it by name. He said they were doing a survey. He rambled on a lot, which seemed strange. I was tired and all I could think to say was, "Okay." (I've been watching too many of your videos.) The first thing he did was ask me to verify my name, address and birthdate, which just seemed off to me (why would my insurance company call me to ask that?) So I hung up. Then I remembered that a computer had been stolen from a local health insurance office that probably had my name and phone number (along with thousands of others) on it. I appreciate how you keep repeating advice not to give personal information to strangers, and I thank you for saving me from a phone scam.
I don’t think the laugh at 5:40 was deliberately added for our entertainment. I think he genuinely just cracked up as he was reading it back again. Ah, gold plated boxes.
Those are every bit as good as the long game. I always enjoy your sarcasm when dealing with them, and wish i had the same ability when they call weekly to tell me that my car warranty is expiring. I get as far as, "Oh? Which car?" They've gotten wise to people asking that and now they ask for the car model up front and i can't even waste their time. They may be selling a real warranty but they start the call on a lie.
I was only half listening to the rest of the spiel after the scammer mentioned killing two birds with a stone, because I knew there was only one response to this. Something along the lines of not wanting to work with someone who would kill birds with a stone. To the surprise of nobody, you did not disappoint!
Have you seen Jim Brownings channel? Hes very calm. Edit: Wow thanks for the heart AS, makes me feel special 😊 your channel is so unique and interesting!
6:46 If you pause there you can read how heroic she was, she was one of the 7 woman who jumped from The Old Bridge. Hahaha its not like people jump every day there in the river below. I live there.
Awesome stuff! I always love your scambaiting videos! Please continue doing them, even though you have to go through a lot to come up with good interactions. I love watching these so much!
5:19 "But if you hear that am dead, i will pass a message to you..." How would he do that when he is dead? From heaven? 13:13 It sure sounds like she will call the bank. How will she do that if she doesn't have the ability to talk anymore? 25:57 "Thank whale", haha I think that was the best thing so far of my day
Legitimately here (look for yourself), I am the one who asked for Eric to make a playlist for the Warosa songs (in the pirate metal version comments) and he not only replied, but immediately did so! The whole thing is incredible, and you can find the playlist on his channel now.

No not really
@@pcbros8671 he made a video where he constantly delegated to other people (other accounts) so the scammer had to start again every time
IIRC he also made one where the character died and the scheme was picked up by his wife or attorney
I was feeling a bit down today. Glad shrimp was here to make me feel better. Gotta hand it to him, he is extremely underrated. Keep it up.
15:30 - "Stop calling me 'Old Customer'" - Great delivery, just a hint of righteous indignation.
4:18 "Kill two birds with a stone" sounds like he just bashed each bird to death with the stone.
Also "dear mange tout in christ" sounds like someone got greedy taking communion.
Fed up with eating bread and decided to go for a greener alternative
All good as long as the birds were eaten
19:52 The most brilliant line of questioning I've ever read in my life!!!
"So, if I am understanding you correctly..... And by extension, I will be always was now?" LMFAO
"Dear Mange Tout in Christ" 😂
He’s reached the holiest level
He eats absolutely everything, including the body of Christ...😂😂😂
Eirc is the absolute best, the fact that he's having this much fun with the John Barosa/Warosa saga is so heartwarming and it makes me so happy! 💗
5:42 Mange Tout breaking character?! 😂
He just couldn't handle the comedy gold XD
@@tatertatertatertatertater *Sad Trombone at the pun*
“So, where were we?”??
We were discussing the future winner of the Best Album and Best New Artist of 2020!
Meanwhile there is a sad barrister named Warosa with too much money and no one willing to accept it :(
Lisa wong left the chat.
If he invests it in binary options, he will have 5 times the money to give away.
As a point of interest, I think I can shed some light on the phrase, "I'd like to ask a question" - since it opens the door for a long diversion from the main topic at hand, it can be nice to give whoever you're asking a chance to ask you to wait a bit, so they can finish their own point and then shift gears to whatever rabbit hole the question might bring. If it's a short question, I totally get how that can be a frustrating thing! But I've found it helps keep the pace of discussions (especially ones with a lot of technical or winding explanations) to be a more mutually agreed on thing.
In the case of scambaiting though?? Brilliant. Just thought I'd share in case you ever wondered what use the phrase could have. Thanks for the vids as always !
"I didn't trust them with the money, but I did trust them with the gold-plated boxes." XDXDXDXD
Gold-plated boxes labelled as containing GOLD BARS! “Oi mate not worth nicking this box its not even cash its only gold”
12:08 I absolutely LOVE the subtle dystopian reality among all these scam emails where there was a time on UA-cam where you couldn't even mention the C-word without getting defunded.
I love how her graduation prompted her to jump from a bridge, but I do wonder about her paragliding, sports climbing and albinism!
0:41 looks like this letter hasn't been updated since 2010/2011
5:14 "Mr. Mike, I'm sorry, but there is no chance of you surviving the operation." "Oh..." "But hey, I'm bored, so let's operate anyway."
"I wanted to kill two birds with a stone". This cracked me up so hard xD
the author is Russian - this sentence is a Russian idiom, which means dealing with two matters at the same time
haha in German we say "to beat two flies with one swatter" 😁
Marek Uryga this is a common idiom in english too, but we usually say “one stone,” not “a stone”
You inspired me to start scambaiting. It is quite fun!
Me 2 the more of their time u waste the less people they can scam with that time
the "hmmm" at 3:47 really cracked me up. Good show mate!
Edit: As did the gold plated boxes at 5:39
16:37 bruh that's so awful theyre disrespecting a dead man's legacy to exploit money.
"Deaf and dump" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What in the world does dump mean
This is reaching Monty Python levels of comedy. xD
He mentioned an excess of spam when I read that.
I started watching because of these Scam baiting videos but I subscribed and continued watching because of all the other weird and interesting videos you do. I enjoy the variety!
Hearing Shrimp laugh honestly gives me life.
I swear, sir, you reading those emails the way they are written is just golden! Please keep doing it!
I feel like the John Mike one might have been a troll who got your email address somehow. The whole thing about, "They don't know the gold-plated container contains money, I told them it was full of gold bars" was a bit much, and somehow the spelling/mistranslations seemed even worse than most actual scammers, like a troll who was trying too hard.
Why would a troll give up?
@@KartonRealista2 Trolling remorse?
I think it’s more likely they were just copying and pasting translations like usual and another script was about a shipment of gold bars (the gold bars being in brackets seems like they’d originally put smth like ‘insert word here’ and then not taken the brackets away... maybe I’m overthinking this 😭)
6:46 thats one hell of an attempt at a scam (worth pausing btw)
thanks for the upload, i don't think i'll ever get bored of you scam-bait content it's great stuff.
5:39 - Ahh, finally, Atomic Shrimp corpsing, what a rare find! Gotta put it on the shelf next to the Antonio Stella bottom tile, that should compliment it nicely. =)
I'd be surprised if Shrimp and Ashens haven't been acquainted at some point
Your scambaiting videos are honestly some of of my favorite content on youtube, and I am so glad to see your channel grow!
You've inspired me to make my own scambaiting videos, so thanks a bunch for doing what you're doing! Scambaiting doesn't always work out video-quality, but it's all in good fun.
I just love your scambaiting. You are messing with the scammers but never give up the moral high-ground by insulting their person or something like that. It's very commendable!
This is the first vid where you actually lost your composure and laughed when they mentioned delivering the money in golden boxes that he told the mailing service was bars of gold.
Simply too ironic
I mean he did chuckle before with the "credible loan offer"
I love your show. It’s like a story book reading, where I could just kick back and listen to you terrorise these scammers. But it be good if you could do more shut them down.
"She also does paragliding, sports climbing and albinism".
Woah! The famous albinism sport!
Man, scambaiting is really an art isnt it? You have to constantly think about not giving them too much info so they cant improve their scams yet still manage to somehow one up them and waste their time.
I love it. Keep it up mate.
Scammers don't try to improve their scams as much anymore because anyone who is willing and able to take the time to read the whole thing would see their scams for what they are. They want people who are vulnerable and are either too confused, distressed, elderly or a combination of the three to do so.
@JanusHoW Well plus there's only so much you can improve anyway but there are things scammers can learn to make it harder for them to be tricked or to make it easier for them to scam.
I.e what to say for best effect, how to spot Vms, etc.
5:40 You know a scam email is bad when not even Atomic Shrimp can read it with a straight face.
this is by far the best episode of scammers who dumped me. i've watched this video many times over the past 2 years and the gold plated box gets me every time
Ok
I want the “sounds of John Warosa” on all streaming platforms please
Eric Castiglia and you do make a good team.
As for the scammers, shame when they don't bite - it's a delightful thing when you manage to really waste their time.
That "old customer" conversation was the best!
I got a phone call yesterday from someone who said they were from my health insurance, mentioning it by name. He said they were doing a survey. He rambled on a lot, which seemed strange. I was tired and all I could think to say was, "Okay." (I've been watching too many of your videos.)
The first thing he did was ask me to verify my name, address and birthdate, which just seemed off to me (why would my insurance company call me to ask that?) So I hung up. Then I remembered that a computer had been stolen from a local health insurance office that probably had my name and phone number (along with thousands of others) on it.
I appreciate how you keep repeating advice not to give personal information to strangers, and I thank you for saving me from a phone scam.
I don’t think the laugh at 5:40 was deliberately added for our entertainment.
I think he genuinely just cracked up as he was reading it back again.
Ah, gold plated boxes.
Those are every bit as good as the long game. I always enjoy your sarcasm when dealing with them, and wish i had the same ability when they call weekly to tell me that my car warranty is expiring. I get as far as, "Oh? Which car?" They've gotten wise to people asking that and now they ask for the car model up front and i can't even waste their time. They may be selling a real warranty but they start the call on a lie.
6:38
OMG that's pure gold!
Had a good laugh at her response
This is too funny. The way you read out the emails. I keep bursting out laughing waking the kids and dog up. I love it
Honestly, it was really fun hearing you laugh at the absurdity for once. More of that sort of thing!
Alright, I made it through to Italian Autotranslate Warosa before you made me spit tea laughing. Well played sir.
Definitely going to name my next child Herry Mike now.
That poor girl.
You are amazing at scambaiting this style of scams. So much work but the entertainment value is exceptional 👌
“Thank you for your massage”
I was only half listening to the rest of the spiel after the scammer mentioned killing two birds with a stone, because I knew there was only one response to this. Something along the lines of not wanting to work with someone who would kill birds with a stone. To the surprise of nobody, you did not disappoint!
12:19
The Deaf and Dump Training Center, the world renowned training center for silent dumps.
Not silent, they just can't hear it 😂
I like the way you do these videos because everyone else that does scambaiting videos seems to be really over-the-top
Have you seen Jim Brownings channel? Hes very calm.
Edit: Wow thanks for the heart AS, makes me feel special 😊 your channel is so unique and interesting!
6:46 If you pause there you can read how heroic she was, she was one of the 7 woman who jumped from The Old Bridge. Hahaha its not like people jump every day there in the river below. I live there.
I found the article it was ripped from
thesrpskatimes.com/dajana-dangubic-is-the-first-female-tank-commander-in-the-af-bih/
Lol
Awesome stuff! I always love your scambaiting videos! Please continue doing them, even though you have to go through a lot to come up with good interactions. I love watching these so much!
Great episode, as always! Keep'em coming. Cheers!
dude your voice is soooo relaxing. your videos are so funny but whenever I watch them at night I have to be careful to not fall asleep lmao
5:19 "But if you hear that am dead, i will pass a message to you..." How would he do that when he is dead? From heaven?
13:13 It sure sounds like she will call the bank. How will she do that if she doesn't have the ability to talk anymore?
25:57 "Thank whale", haha I think that was the best thing so far of my day
Classic to add the scam album into the mix This whole video made me laugh so much
Nobody does it better
makes me feel bad for them, bless.
Nobody does it
half as good as you.
Shrimp you are the best.
Legitimately here (look for yourself), I am the one who asked for Eric to make a playlist for the Warosa songs (in the pirate metal version comments) and he not only replied, but immediately did so! The whole thing is incredible, and you can find the playlist on his channel now.
