    Every time I see a list asking for information my mind immediately goes to "you know, the sort of information you should never share with a stranger on the internet" just goes to show that repetition is a great way of association for the risk. Just need to keep sharing these videos with potentially vulnerable people.

    Weird today, I was called by somebody claiming to be from EE. They claimed that they could get my tarriff down by 30%. I was immediately suspicious. They connected me to their supervisor, again weird. The supervisor immediately started asking me for personal information to access my account, I asked where they were based and they hung up the phone. It was actually quite an obscure call, and I don't think I would of recognised it so easily without watching your videos. As soon as I was asked for personal information I immediately recalled you saying "you know, the sort of information you should never share with a stranger...". I checked the number online afterwards and sure enough many people had reported the number. I think your channel is amazing for making people aware of these scammers in all their deceptive, evil forms. Thank you!

      When I get a call from an unknown number, I answer and sit in silence for 5-15 seconds, sometimes there's background noise. In the last six months or so, only pre-recorded scam messages then play, all others hang up.
      If I do speak first, I usually say 'Allo?', like some French and Spanish speakers answering the phone, then about half the time it's an ordinary spam caller and the other half it's a scam caller who hangs up because they don't speak Spanish.
      I don't speak Spanish either.

    Have you tried going mask off with them? I've had a few romance scammers where I started straight out "you are a scammer" and proceeded to insult their intelligence, their mothers, and how pathetic it was that they would waste 10 years of education to try to pull pennies out of lonely people. It's not really youtube material but it does result in a pretty big distraction for them, especially when you tell them their mother is disappointed in them and thinks they were a mistake in very colorful ways.

    Mr Shrimp, please look into the Established Titles business, there are so many conflicting narratives surrounding it, I don't know what to think. The one thing I'm sure of, I TRUST your critique when it comes to scams. You've never steered me wrong.

      If owning land in Scotland made you a lord, everyone who bought their house on a freehold basis would be a lord. Everyone would be a Lord. It's such weird nonsense, I am amazed anyone even started believing it.

    You asked him really fun questions. I can't believe he didn't want to answer them. I paused the video to work them all out. They were a lot of fun. But unlike your scammer, I am a math savant so I genuinely enjoyed you asking him math and logic questions.

      What's to debunk? You give them money & they dont give you any land. Also you cannot buy Lord/Lady titles through buying land in that way as they are heredity.

    Something occurred to me which I do not think has been asked before. You have now on several occasions shown us a brief glimpse of one of your mail inboxes flooded with scam emails.
    This made me wonder, when there are so many scammers, sending so many scam emails to the same people, do they not worry people will become suspicious when the same person ends up with emails from 50 different places offering him massive prizes?
    Does that thought never cross the scammer’s minds?
