I can't believe this video is how I found out Davis Bon, a totally beloved and real celebrity, died. You'd think the news would've picked it up but not a single article! It's so disrespectful to the legacy of such an important car dealership owner.
It’s terribly sad that such a beloved celebrity could just die like that, and his legion of fans aren’t even afforded the ability to say goodbye…. #ripdavisbon
It's always nice when the doctor gives you a death date, makes it much easier to work out the logistics of transferring your massive fortune to a stranger
Well, schedules must be adhered to. Its like where they say people eat on average eight spiders every night in their sleep. If you're dying and you are below quota, all the spiders turn up at once.
Maybe it's not "Mc", it's "MC" and he's actually a Master of Ceremonies. You've secretly been chatting to the scamming world's best DJ, dropping beats to rival those of Eric Castiglia
A note on the morality of scambaiting: By providing silly responses to scammers, you are polluting future training data for scam-based AI chatbots, which will hopefully make them less effective scammers. This is a moral good.
@@randomviewer3494 Often datasets contain positive and negative examples: do be like this convo where you ended up with money, don't be like that convo where you didn't. By putting weirder stuff into the 2nd category or putting stuff that has similarities to the first category, training becomes harder.
That is not how that works. Scambaiting always ends in a failed scam, they would never use those conversations as training data. Training an neural net is based on feeding it examples of your desired outcome. So successful scams.
I think the training data still gets messed up in this scenario, because he’s responding to the prompts as if he is susceptible to the scam, just not immediately privy to the information the scammers want. Therefore, if a true susceptible person is not privy to the data the scammers want, responds as such, then the trained AI is severely more likely with its data to register this interaction as a failed scam attempt before the true person is too far along in the scam. An adept scam bot programmer may need their AI to be more advanced to tell the differences between a “it will not be successful” result, an “it will be successful” result, and the important but hard to account for third result “it may be successful, but the interaction needs to continue for longer”.
"Perhaps you could ask and then get back to me with alternative dates?" The absurdity of asking for (a fictional) someone to reschedule their death had me in stitches. Well played
Davis Bon sounds like a good name for an alternate e-mail or character for scambaiting, lol. He could join the ranks of John Barosa and co. I know he's dead right now, but I believe noone involved had an end-of-life insurance, so I'm optimistic that he'll recover.
Actually Twitter was only worth less than half of what Elon paid. That's why he tried so hard to get out of the deal. There needs to be more videos detailing how much of a scam artist / conman Elon is.
He couldn't resist putting "okay" in there. He almost made it through the scam pitch without doing it. Okay, you got me with "You're not planning to bury him at my house, are you?" I just started laughing there. The ad is brilliant, too.
I keep on chuckling every time you say "Mc-McAllister". It is also extremely funny that poor Davis Bon had "any accident." He may just have stubbed his toe.
He really missed out! I got the same e-mail, sent the money and I’m waiting at the door to realize my wonderful new life among the rich and famous. Hang on, there’s a Fed X truck coming down the street right now!! 🚚🍾🍾🍷🍷✈️
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the thumbnails Mr. Shrimp uses; each different topic or series has its own distinct style so I know exactly what's what from just a glance and its a level of detail you don't often see. It's very much appreciated!
Thank you for all that you do Mr. Shrimp. I was one of those people that thought I could never be scammed, until I lost $100 to a "girl" I was "dating". Looking back their tricks were obvious but I was lonely and I wasn't thinking clearly. Every time you waste some of these human garbages' time you potentially save someone ignorant (like I was) from being their next victim
Hrmm, a thought. Have you tried reversing things? "Oh, you're using DHL (or any company named)? I work for them. Give me _your_ address and I'll have a truck come by to pick things up." I mean, we know they will neither give an address nor accept this-because there is nothing to pick up-but I'd love to hear what excuse they have for why this wouldn't work given it's the exact same company.
He's mentioned this before - he doesn't want to do it because it forces the scammer into a corner. If there is no bait, the scammer stops responding because they have nothing to say.
He's tried something like this before, claiming to have either local contacts or associates in the shipping industry. It tends to result in the scammers claiming that they're required to go through a specific channel for delivery, which is ironic as when the ball is in their court scammers will constantly change the shipping method they're allegedly using for the fictional package.
As a bit of a history nerd the "end of life assurance" bit got me. If vampire burials were still a thing they'd definitely involve the use of power tools.
That's the annoying thing about the "one sentence" scammers. For the most part they won't even try to pretend they're in the situation their initial format described and will basically just say variants of "give me your money" and just accuse you of not being serious if you don't do what they want. This one at least indulged the Davis Bon narrative.

I tend to agree with your diagnosis that the aim of raising awareness is the most effective way to fight scammers. Because I watched this video, the YT algorithm recommended a documentary called "The dramatic undercover sting exposing Nigerian fraud syndicates". It's scary to realise that even well-educated professional people can somehow get sucked into these scams and then will continue sending money to criminals in a faraway country in the hope of recouping their sunk costs.
I see a lot of the "love doctor" ones these days in Facebook comments. Claiming they can cast a spell to repair your relationship or get your kids back, etc. Facebook is likely a genius breeding ground formscammers considering what the demographic is
Go look into cryptocurrency scams. There are still people sending money to ponzi schemes hoping to get rich, even though the creators rug pulled long ago and stole all the money.
@@Una_Ridlow Facebook's algorithm is also purpose engineered to expose people to scams or frauds they're likely to fall for. I'm not even exaggerating, a study for example discovered that Facebook would show Bipolar people more ads for useless products when they were about to enter their manic episode, manic episodes are characterized by being careless with money and other things. Facebook had somehow figured out how to predict when someone was about to enter a manic episode better than actual medical science and was specifically using that to fleece people out of their money.
Actually, I thought he was a little bit late and didn't comply with the original schedule of one week. I'm not one for tardy timekeeping and frankly I don't think I'll miss him.
Don't you have any of his albums? For instance both the Bon Voyage and Bon Appétit LP's are critically acclaimed, although Bon-bons in Paris was panned for it's overt sensuality. Most of his works are right up there with Slim Whitman and Zamfir-Master of the Pan Flute.
Honestly at this point in the series this United State really owes you perhaps a couple trillion or so I would imagine. How many more people will include you in their wills or have a multitude of gold bars waiting to be collected from airports. You are a very lucky man indeed
Your ability to twist a scammer's words and your creativity with your own is outstanding. Over the last couple of years I have been entertained into a position of great awareness by scambaiters of all types. I absolutely love your style and how it fits into scambaiting in general.
Then make sure to get a POA to lock up all their financials so they can’t give out important details to the scammers- credit cards, bank details, everything. I’ve dealt with Alzheimer’s family, and they can get extremely stubborn and are very easily scammed.
"He will pass on this day" - "can that be reschedules?" Gold. pure gold! Also sitting here, hoping that Davis can leave Pains soon. That's a town in northern France right?
On the topic of the FAQ, while I agree scammers aren't going anywhere, ever, I still think scambaiting is worth it. If even one person is prevented from being scammed, that's a win. Something you've touched on before is that scambaiters have possibly made scammers less willing to put up with nonsense, and so it's possible genuine victims might get dropped because the scammers think they're scambaiters. So that's got to count for something.
@@KeksimusMaximus But as has been discussed numerous times on this channel, stupid people aren't the only victims of scams. In fact, I'd argue the people at the highest risk are the people who foolishly believe themselves to be immune.
@@MuchWhittering As soon as they want money I gotta dissapoint them, I ain't got none The last one could work but only if the companies I have known my whole life (I life in an area that has a bunch of companies that have need for people with my education) suddenly turned to scamming people.

@@MuchWhittering Ok I looked up employment scams again and I am pretty sure they won't work in my country. Our Job market looks a little bit diffrent. We rarely use sites and 100% of the time have in person meetings before we get hired. And you will never see me click a link on an E-Mail to reset my password or similar stuff. I always go to the website and reset it there manualy. Why? Because a family member of mine gets these E-Mails by the hundreds.
My grandmother was almost scammed, I’ve shown her your videos mr shrimp. You’re a lifesaver. She had purchased 5 thousand “usd $5,000 usd” in target gift cards
At a certain point, it feels like one enters a play, and I am totally down for it :3 The cast of characters is always on point, and the absurdity is just *chefs kiss* excellent!
Is this the first time there has been a Slaughterham ad as a midroll in a video? That was a nice suprised and I want to make sure I haven't missed any messages from the Slaughterham council. They are mandatory viewing after all.
Also, the scambaiting type you choose to handle will affect what equipment you use - email scams are relatively simpler than Indian phone call scams (the latter requiring you to have a virtual computer and some other software)
And sadly, not all scams are baitable. The sextortion scams are a good example, since the emails are oneshot, probably spoof a fake or innocent email address, and the complete "payload" of the scam is all in that one email. They don't plan on having a conversation, just for people to drop money in their bitcoin wallet.
i wish i found your channel earlier, got caught out once few years ago, fortunately it was only £25 for a courier delivery for a tv and console from a freesharing site, paid with wouchers, after that they wanted another £30 for an insurance payment and that was when it all fell into place. easy done when you're greedy ;)
The other day, my seven year old daughter requested one of your videos, saying "can we watch the scam man, the one with just a nice voice and writing?" (as opposed to these flashy youngsters with their faces and graphics).
sure wish there was something more than can be done about these scams however until then I will continue to share your videos doing my small part to spread awareness ❤❤❤
Probably been said a hundred times already, but that intro had me rolling on the floor laughing... These videos have been such a source of joy for me, and I'm incredibly appreciative of all the effort that goes into them.
Man, your voice is so soothing that I wish you did audiobooks. Sad to hear about Davis Bon. Don't be too hard on your friend there, he was probably grieving and will send the box when he's less overwhelmed. Trust.
I love that the 'small boy' question is now a full-blown scambaiting tactic with an official name like 'The Small Boy Gambit.' Never fails to make me laugh when it comes up.
I've totally got hooked on the Slaughter Valley (the "commercial") videos. Some of them are really creepy. Atomic Shrimp needs to make it a novel or short story or something!
He would've needed a very large and strong box for 30 billion dollars, I'd imagine. When you think about it, $300.00 doesn't sound like a terribly high price for it, and delivery too...
Such a thoughtful company, assuring a final end of life. And I'm glad that slaughterham valley council mandate such an important service, seeing old friends on a visit can be quite disconcerting

The sextortion scams are a good example, since the emails are oneshot, probably spoof a fake or innocent email address, and the complete "payload" of the scam is all in that one email. They don't plan on having a conversation, just for people to drop money in their bitcoin wallet.
What? They don’t really want to clean my windows???
#ripDavisBon your smile filled the room, and your infectious laughter shall sorely be missed. Godspeed Davis Bon
i wish i found your channel earlier, got caught out once few years ago, fortunately it was only £25 for a courier delivery for a tv and console from a freesharing site, paid with wouchers, after that they wanted another £30 for an insurance payment and that was when it all fell into place. easy done when you're greedy ;)
Your patience amazes me. I would get so tired of their baloney, I would just stop replying.
"My phone number exceeded the digits then fell off the end"....I may be using that in the future 🤣🤣🤣
Cracked up laughing at that one 😂
The other day, my seven year old daughter requested one of your videos, saying "can we watch the scam man, the one with just a nice voice and writing?" (as opposed to these flashy youngsters with their faces and graphics).
Lost opportunity to go down the rabbit hole of how big a box they would need to use to fit in 30 billion dollars of cash.
I am absolutely cackling every time you bring out the "small boy"s. 😆
sure wish there was something more than can be done about these scams however until then I will continue to share your videos doing my small part to spread awareness ❤❤❤
The small boy gambit is my absolute favourite, I use it regularly in random interactions and it brings me great joy.
I'm excited to see how you add the character of Davis Bon to your cast that includes the soul called John Barosa.
RIP Davis Bon, a true innovator in the world of auto sales
I showed this video to a couple of buddies and we have officially replaced all of our "that's what she said" jokes with "that's what the doctor said".
Probably been said a hundred times already, but that intro had me rolling on the floor laughing... These videos have been such a source of joy for me, and I'm incredibly appreciative of all the effort that goes into them.
That opening letter from the scammer is just begging to be turned into a song! Would make a great addition to the John Warosa greatest hits album
Your editing skills and little gags never fail to get a laugh out of me, namely the 'any accident' bit at the beginning.
I love how you came up with a solution that would actually work if there was money and the guy just has to bullshit his way around it.
i liked it how in the first half you and the scammer just kept having a friendly conversation going back and forth about pretty much nothing
Two of my favourite series combined, hooray!
Slaughter Valley got its start in the scambaiting series, as a matter of fact.
Inflation is high over there too? Wow . It's terrible here
Imagine having a car, plane, boat and train accident all together at work. Davis Bon sure lived a stressful life
Thank you for making me smile, helping me understand scams, and for annoying a thieving small boy.
Man, your voice is so soothing that I wish you did audiobooks.
Sad to hear about Davis Bon. Don't be too hard on your friend there, he was probably grieving and will send the box when he's less overwhelmed. Trust.
Rest in peace, Davis Bon 😢
This is one of the most entertaining videos you've made, ATM-ic Shrimp! I love the [mandatory] Slaughter Valley ad, too.
"It will be on the 18th of this December" 🤣
Davis Bon may be dead, but we can at least say he was punctual
Scammer: "How are you doing today my friend"
(if it were) me: "Who's your friend?"
I'm not your friend, guy!
Waking up on my birthday and I find an Atomic Shrimp scambait
Congratulations!
I love that the 'small boy' question is now a full-blown scambaiting tactic with an official name like 'The Small Boy Gambit.' Never fails to make me laugh when it comes up.
Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% Bon
I've been itching for a new one of these. Thanks Atomic Shrimp!
Nice placement of the Slaughterham segment. 👍
This is seriously one of Atomic Shrimp's funniest videos I've ever seen
I did not expect a slaughter valley ad in here, that was a nice surprise!
It was nice. Fun fact, Slaughter Valley debuted in the scambait series, as a response to when a scammer said, "Goodbye to us."
Didn't expect this at 2am here, but glad it showed up lol. Needed a good laugh. Love these dang videos
I've totally got hooked on the Slaughter Valley (the "commercial") videos. Some of them are really creepy. Atomic Shrimp needs to make it a novel or short story or something!
Mc Mcallister sounds like a stuttering Scotsman
I've been binge watching your scam baiting videos. Never gotten to see one as it was released!
He would've needed a very large and strong box for 30 billion dollars, I'd imagine. When you think about it, $300.00 doesn't sound like a terribly high price for it, and delivery too...
Omg you’ve incorporated a Slaughterham info film! I can’t express how happy this makes me. I love learning more about this quaint little place
Scam baiting is always so funny and entertaining to watch.
God the featureless “Blank” kills me 😂
Such a thoughtful company, assuring a final end of life. And I'm glad that slaughterham valley council mandate such an important service, seeing old friends on a visit can be quite disconcerting
I can’t imagine how Davis Bon felt when he received his death date.
He must’ve been so shocked he just wanted to send his money to random people...
