The computer is a machine and not a human being?! My whole life has been a lie...
Are they really so deluded that they think their accent and syntax doesn't give them away as being from the Indian Subcontinent?
Some of them actually believe they're convincing enough to pass for westerners. But if he thinks I have an American accent, then I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's delusional.
They are deluded very much. One scammer mentioned that he is calling from Mountain View, California. I asked him, if I can take him for lunch. He told me he would love to but he is shifting to Vancouver.
ScorpioNick .... talk a lie long enough and you’ll believe it
I can't tell if their accent is from Texas or New York. They have truly mastered each and every accent, Sir.
Hi Nick, I'm from the UK and your accent definitely sounds Australian to me just as their accent sound Indian. By the way your accent/voice is nice and calm. Sorry can't offer any technical feedback, I watch just out of fascination of technical expert vs technical bullshitter.
Obviously you being the expert.
I'm boggled by how many of them (for some reason always the females) claim I have a British accent, though it's as you suspect - Australian. Not to worry about technical feedback; I too get all the feedback I need from them. The 'show' wouldn't be possible without them (I ought to let them in on that fact at some point).
I like this guy because he's truly dedicated to the scam. He tells you (correctly) that you have virus protection and a firewall and everything looks great. He almost sounds like he's not going to offer anything. But he just has to check the... oh my word! Look at those stopped drivers! Your computer can't "think" any more!
I wonder how many stopped drivers the average tech support scammer has. Maybe they're projecting their issues on others!
Dude, I've totally read WoT! Excellent series, great choice of name!
lol the indian background 😆😆😆😆 i wonder if he saw it 😜
Good job as always and plus no dislikes 😊. We all love you nick !!! Keep going
Oh, I'm sure the dislikes will come with time ;-)
ScorpioNick two dislikes from India
Holly Molly the change of the intro music hit me so hard... But anyway, nice, as always. Mess with 'em more.
Sorry about that, just like to freshen up now and then. Not a great recording but still.. it had a few moments
I'm not saying the change was bad or something, I didn;t meant that at all. The recording was good anyway even if it had some low points. But still.
It's good
Sometimes my humour is a bit too dry, I know.
As for the volume, I don't know why he was so low. During the call it was fine after the call back.
Great job keeping him taking once you had been sussed, I think you made a friend there :-) I love the tree replacement.
Thanks. Wasting his time indeed!
I feel like half these guys used to work at legit call centers. You don't learn nonsense filler talk like "go ahead" in a vacuume.
Could be, or they listen to a lot of recordings in training.
ScorpioNick Maybe they've just watched your videos.
Nice one Nick.. love the "dextop " background. Simon Parker????? Sure.
99.9% of the names are like that. They know their guilt.
Did he just try to open a binary file with wordpad?
Yep they'll do that sometimes to show that you have 'junk', or a 'corrupted system' or some such.
yes its a somewhat newer trick because it what looks like random they say corrupted.. so
Right. What is funnier is when they say you computer is just fine, it is your network. No matter how many times you replace your computer and devices like smart phones and tablets, the issue will come back because your network is corrupt .
Why do Indians like bringing up American politics? Also great job you're doing Nick, or James. Keep up the good work. Maybe bring back the guitar for another episode?
No idea, and thanks. I think there will be another sometime. I do that when a number will refuse to play the role of scammer, but also won't/can't block me.
You rock dude!
Honestly I wasn't sure this one would be any good. Too soon to tell, I suppose.
ScorpioNick i just finished now. It actually is really awesome
Excellently played 👍🏼
wait all this fucking time my computer has been a machine!!!!
at 13:30 did you program whatever that is yourself? (i mostly put your videos on as background noise while i draw i gotta admit, so i dont toootally catch all of it) if you did write it, you should totally try writing a text adventure for a scammer and see if you can get any of them to go along with it. maybe one guiding them through the typical "fixation" of a computer right up until they try to charge you 6k. i'd love to see that haha
Yes and no. I wouldn't call it programming, but I did do it.
Scammers never play along with games created for them, unfortunately. It would be hilarious though.
@7:28 A+ acting right there, Mr. Scammer.
Always funny when they become so animated and really get into the act.
.... you actually got a semi intelligent convo.
Sometimes it happens. Best if you don't rush to insults with them. But some will do that no matter how you approach them.
lmao the tree report even makes fun of the indians english fail, they keep saying: each and everything
hahahahhaha
in that report it says: each and everything safe and secure... hahaha
Why we don't have people like you in France ffs ! You are doing a great job catching all these guys :)
Merci! Do you get many of the scammers in France?
ScorpioNick Not that much as you get i think haha, french is more difficult to learn than english for indian i guess. btw you seems to be someone with a great knowledge on pc, do you know any vpn wich are "safe" to use ? :) Sry for this big text haha
Yes - I know some French that I still remember, but most is forgotten. Do not apologise for the length of reply; it's better than just 'LOL' comments! Cyberghost is good, and I also use PureVPN. With these, you can get the American popups, call them, and pretend you live in America but originally from France ;-)
ScorpioNick No problem i'm quite slow aswel for answering, and this could be hillarious french accent vs idian one haha, ty for the vpn name! And last question, i've seen other youtuber using 'Rats' and they can fully take the control of the scammer computer, (webcam microphone) i know thats a bit extreme but if you could make a video out of solthing like that that would be hillarious :) !
I'm not sure I believe that, I've seen some strange videos of supposedly killing their machines. You'd have to convince the scammers to do certain things before getting that type of control. I wouldn't have thought they'd even have webcams on their machines.
Aussie scammers too! My family got hit for $500. I KNOW I deleted the file, but the scammer still absolutely gutted the machine because he faked it so well.
You've had an Australian scam you?!
YEP! Mind you, he was a recent 'import' from Sri Lanka...
Ah damn. I really want to one day confront a 'real' Australian. Not an aboriginal. I'd be hard pressed to maintain my calm speaking to an Australian doing this crap.
Just donate to a current affair to play with if aussie.embarass name an shame
Hello again! Sorry for writing back this late, couldn't find the time to answer you earlier. Regarding the intro: I will start working on a prototype this weekend, probably Sunday. I'll upload that prototype to my channel and provide you with a link. Don't worry, I will set it on 'not listed' in the settings so only you could see it :)
And another question: do you want/ need any transition-animations or an outro/ endcard?
Nice video by the way!
Cheers. Usually this sort of thing would be done a little more privately, but it's ok. I can't imagine a transition, but occasionally a recording ends on a bombshell which might warrant some sort of outro. I'll need to think on it, but best we speak less publicly about it.
ScorpioNick Of course, sorry, how silly of me.. I'm just very tired at the moment :P Feel free to write me when you've decided on the outro :)
The US Government involved? That part intrigued me a bit... Or a lot.
He forgot his own lie about the drivers 😂
These folks aren't the brightest liars out there - thank goodness for that!
I realise editing is quite labour intensive but I do struggle to hear the scammer a lot of the time because they're too quiet, love the videos though :)
The audio is pretty horrible in this one I agree. Usually I don't have to boost the volume for every time they speak.
I always wonder, and I've seen it in a lot of other videos too, but I wonder why whenever they type in the notepad they always fidget with the fonts.
They're trying to make it easier to read, to help their sales pitch.
ScorpioNick I figured. it's so goddamn annoying
C'mon James........all Aussies have American accents..........LMAO !!!!!!
Aussies, Yankees, what's the difference?
Gday mate,sling a. ?.... on the barbie, etc etc
Shrimp (though we don't call them that).
10:44 The scammer missed that hint :D
Much of the time they aren't paying very much attention to the details ; )
I need one of those IPv5 addresses...heard those are all the rage.
They were, until they realised they were halfway to IPv6.
Oh no they're on to you 😱 hehe 😆
That "James" moment came as a shock. I wonder how they knew, because I was using a very new number. My voice perhaps?
@6:54 On the Username information, it's saying: PC-James\James, he spent quite a while looking at that window, on other videos of yours i noted that you always give different names, other than the one that is being show on that information i've told you.. :) You're really tired huh xD
I was tired, yeah. Good point - that might be how he got the name. At the last moment I decided to play a private joke on them with the name and didn't adjust the info to suit!
ScorpioNick They may also be familiar with your voice now. Have you thought about using a voice changer?
I've thought about it. I might need to look into it, but I'd rather not if I can still continue as usual.
Nick: This is great video. In Dhokay-Baaz, take a pause between Dhokay and Baaz when saying. Make a distinct "z" sound in Baaz.
The scammer "Simon Parker" gave you one of the Microsoft's address: 320 Westlake Ave N. Seattle, WA 98109.
If he is telling the truth, "Bruce" may be from Bangladesh but I do not believe. .
Ah thank you, I thought I had it a bit off. I'd been pronouncing the 'z' too strongly as an 's'. I'm not inclined to believe him either, but he could have just said it if so!
I'd love to know how many scambaiters get someone on their first day? They normally say they've been there for ages! I think last year brought us "You can bring it to a local store" You can fix it yourself" and "Why you waste your time" Additions to the script :)
I might have spoken to a couple, but you never know. Some sound very new, but it still might not be their first day. I wonder what script additions we'll see in 2017!
I live right next to where they are supposed to be located. That's chase bank.
lmao the IPv6 XD
I especially like the IPv5 myself ;-)
Of course it is the most important one
Hey nick I've been watching a lot of scambait videos and the scammers seem to be trolling us,! I've seen scammers with the name Matthew Hayden and also Kevin Peterson... Ie cricketers
Yeah they've also used wrestling names for the Americans, apparently. I'd have had a hard time keeping a straight face speaking to Haydos with that accent, but I'd have treated it as just another challenge regarding not laughing. The whole scam thing is a troll anyway, trying to get people to believe that the event viewer shows viruses for example. But they hate it when they're on the receiving end of the joke, having their time taken up.
ScorpioNick lol wtf,??!! You're a champ mate, I honestly hsve no idea what you're doing , but I like it... I'd love to learn about computers and get into stuff! Where or how would you recommended I learn about computers?? I once enrolled in a tafe ccna course 20 years ago (it looked like it had career prospects) but I dropped that lol. I'm a total noon btw
Hmm well I've been tinkering with computers since I was about 7 (I'm 37 now), but TAFE would be a good place. I did my Advanced Diploma of Computer Engineering a few years ago, enjoyed that. Now I'm at uni going for a degree (feels a bit odd at my age, but still enjoying it). Virtual machines are used quite a lot nowadays for many reasons - you'd very likely be making use of them in a TAFE course. But if the academic world isn't something you're interested in, enough searching around online would probably provide the answers.
ScorpioNick thanx mate... Yeah it was an advanced diploma in computer systems with CCNA. At the time I think it would have been the best and most difficult course at tafe! Yeah I think I'll start from scratch and learn as much as possible. I heard in IT, experience is better than degrees or qualications
Yep that's exactly what I did (with CCNP in the final semester). I have to agree about experience being more important; all the theory in the world does nothing unless it's applied, and the most useful lessons happen in real world scenarios. They can tell you about the need for policy & procedures until the cows come home, but that one time someone screws up and it costs the company a big client...that won't be forgotten in a hurry.
*HEALTH POTENTIALLY CRITICAL* , sorry tech support sir, I should see a doctor, my pc tells me my health condition is critical D:
If you call these people up often enough, _they_ should be apologising to _you_ for that.
WTF i am always around that fake office at least in that address.. \"Fake office in California: USTechSupport 100 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Suite 1900, El Segundo, CA 90245 \"
what was the phrase you said to the "senior" guy?
Could you timestamp it? I don't remember all the moments of these videos and don't have the time to watch them.
@@ScorpioNick at 24:23 not sure how to make it blue?
Oh that one. I'm not 100% sure on the literal translation (as I've heard a few variations from different people), but I meant it as 'trickster' or 'dishonest person'. It was recommended by a subscriber who knew that I didn't want to use the overly offensive/vulgar Hindi slang words.
sound drops very low at around 21 min mark
Sound in this one was a disgrace, I know.
fast talker
ahhh... no flies?
I wasn't really on my game in this one, a bit tired. It was the third attempt too. I gave a spider to a girl scammer who had quite a husky voice though. I spent way too long getting the run-around from Jupiter Support as well.
well, least your 'American' accent was spot on.
And the first dude was from Seattle so he could not be Indian... well, we have 'Indians' here in the Pacific Northwest.... feather, not dot. :P
I don't know how he got an American accent out of me at all, I sound _nothing_ like an American! Feather, as in my background ;-)
BSOD on a white screen? Maybe that should be a WSOD.
Scammer unsettled by cognitive dissonance from 12:05.
When they asked if you were Matt or Mack, I was wondering if they might have previously dealt with Astro, who sometimes passes himself off with the latter name.
When the scammer denied being Indian, I was waiting for you to play the Pakistan card, and was relieved when you finally did. Actually, if he were from Bangladesh, he still mightn't be keen to be identified as Pakistani, given that those of us of a certain age remember when Bangladesh was simply East Pakistan before they got their independence from (West) Pakistan.
I don't proactively scambait, but I do generally lie in readiness with a VM ready to go if scammers happen to call me. After a hiatus of a few months, I suspect that I might hear from them again soon - presumably from an outfit that has not previously dealt with me and blacklisted my phone number after an unrewarding and time-wasting experience. Early this evening I received one of those silent phone calls where a woman's voice merely says "Goodbye" and hangs up, and I later received a call where there was background noise, but nobody spoke to me, and then they hung up.
Damn, I remember thinking I'd confront them on that, then forgot. Maybe a WSoBS.
Upon listening back to it, yes I thought maybe he'd run into Mr. Mack Affie. I might be imagining things, but he seemed to chuckle a bit much at the notion of Sri Lankan, so..maybe that.
Oh yeah, those calls where they just mostly stay silent when you answer. Those upset me. If I can be bothered walking to the landline only for that - I'd rather toy with them a bit. Maybe those calls are just to confirm other sketchy information they have on the number such as 'we believe a white male in this age range lives here', and they follow up later with solar panel crap or whatever else it is. I really want another one of those 'survey' calls though, because you can give them the most outrageous answers, and they continue, trying to fill out their forms.
Yeah, I don't really know what to do creatively with those calls about solar panels or purportedly from the "accident helpline", so I usually just revert to baser instincts with a suggestion such as "How about you insert a thousand elephant trunks into your Third World arse?" The call tends to die immediately thereafter.
Here's what I generally do. Tell them I live in an...odd place. Like a tent, for example. Then when they ask, tell them you already have 7 solar panels and you're not sure the tent could support more. I just wing it though.
Tech Olive LLC is one of the scammer company. They run pop up Ad Scam. It will lock your computer. Those who don't have knowledge about this, get scammed by this type of companies. Their website is techolive.net
MAtt cauthon.. wheel of time Matt cauthon.. hows the fox medallion.
It's been getting cold quite often lately! But keeping the One Power at bay, can't complain about that. (I'll go through a few names I think).
ScorpioNick Such a terrific series.
I can't imagine movies doing it justice. Possibly a TV series, one season per book, but I'd hate to see it ruined.
ScorpioNick Well, we'll get the chance to see, soon. It's getting a tv series.
I think Sony picked up the rights to it.
Volume.... Do you have control of it????? When you figure it out then let me know. I will sub
No, I don't have control over their volume.
Wow dude... i dont laf at much but IP V5 iI actually LOL
It was never ratified, became IPv6 instead.
1:00 'OS: PC'
Yeah that's a little vague. Actually it's flat out wrong. But the IP address was correct (I checked before calling).
Where are you Nick ? You ok ?
I'm fine. I didn't want to keep doing this forever.
Its okay bud .Nice to hear from you again, ! Wish you the best .
Now you're american, apparently.
We can hardly question the 'expert' who knows everything, right?
ScorpioNick Each and everything*
is he from Bangladesh maybe? if he is being honest lool
Are you truly a scammer
