Hello My Friend. I am a Barrister and excellently reputed lawyer. God has instincted me to contract to you and helpfully assessed you with yours problem. I will only aquire a small detainer of $500. You can give me Apple Pay Cards, or the same in Goggles. I will greedily expectorate your promplty response.
I heard Davis Bon isn't actually his real name, just a sort of moniker taken when a new man assumes the role as owner of the car dealership. Not really a huge fan of why they made the latest Bon a woman though. Traditionally the role has always been portrayed by a man.
Option 5. I think it might be the ghost of Davis Bon, back from the ethereal realm to take vengeance for you wasting time of his dear friend, Mc Mcalister.
It comes close second. We all know the soul called barrister John Barosa Warosa is the best trilogy ever. You wouldn’t have his consignment box by any change, right?
"He wants all her property belongs to you" is on the same level as "all your base are belong to us" lmao. Sometimes these scammers are meme gods without even trying.
I was very relieved to hear that Davis Bon was able to recover from his death and so disappointed that he had the terrible misfortune to then go and die again so soon after. If you ask me he sounds like a very careless man indeed.
When I was a small boy™ I thought that was what happened when you died. You know when someone famous dies and the news show a recent interview with them? I naively thought such interviews were live footage
Another hypothesis for the scammer's explosion at the end is that this scammer has been scambaited by you before, and didn't notice at first they they had sent another scam email to you (probably because they sent it to a large list of emails). Then, after you started responding, they recognized your email as one that had scambaited them and got angry. This would explain why they were asking about a $75 Apple card, since that could have been something from the previous scam, without requiring the unlikely coincidence that the "disorganized scammer" hypothesis requires (the coincidence of the scammer just happening to send an angry message intended for a scambaiter to another, unrelated scambaiter).
I think this person is not aware of the Davis Bon version of the script or they wouldn't have googled "Davis Bon" -- making it less likely that they are Mc McAllister. They also use more punctuation than Mc McAllister does, I feel like! It seems to me like they should have found the video given that they googled Davis Bon, but I'm not sure they watched it. If they're pressed for time, it's not likely they're going to consume random UA-cam content, and I'm guessing from experience that the scammer doesn't know the word "scambaiting." The video makes it really obvious that Atomic Shrimp knows there's no money, but the reply reads like they think he can still somehow be convinced of that.
@@economicsbat8329 Also given the level of English skill on display in the email I doubt they would have understood the video even if they watched it. If they're not a troll then this is someone who barely understands English and mostly uses things like Google translate.
I like how Spatula and Manuel express their confusion at this matter in very different ways. Manuel asks questions and informs people of things but Spatula is just wildy what how who confused
I love the idea of scammers getting part-way through a conversation with you, only to find out you're a seasoned scambaiter. That's hilarious. Amazing video as always Shrimp, thank for being you (:
@@abigailruth5631 I bet they would have a good laugh sitting together in Barosa's office watching the video on his company laptop. Warosa and Barosa sound like they go on barbecues together in the weekend and crack open a few cold ones.
It's a typical insult in places like Nigeria. Knowing common regional insults is always a good one, especially if you carefully place them in sentences, quite innocuously.
@@kenirainseeker539 No. It's a bit of scammer lingo in a local pidgin. From 419eater: "Smallboi - Pidgin term used for a young, unsuccessful or low-level scammer. Macho posturing among scammers makes this term a fairly strong insult."
@@KartonRealista2 yes but shrimp learned that calling scammers a small boy makes them angry when a previous scammer kept insisting “I am an old man and not a small boy”
It's incredible how this guy just keeps coming back to you. Surely the opportunity cost of scamming you is a loss compared to scamming literally anyone else. It's like he's never gotten into a flame war online before. Gotta know when to cut yourself off!
This is so bonkers so me, because it would be so easy to just…keep answering the question? Like “Yeah he’s still dead, [continues with scam]”. Like the guy who wouldn’t tell you the size of the box, it’s such an insane thing to get hung up on when, as far as the scammer knows, you’re still on the hook.

Good grief, the only thing as legendary as these scammers' persistence, is the sheer ignorance and incompetence in their poorly-composed messages. I'm having stomach cramps from laughing. You're a legend, Atomic Shrimp, and please keep these legendary laughter-inducing masterpieces coming!
The lore deepens! Apparently Davis Bon can temporarily revive himself when convenient. Could Miss Elaine Bon be Davis Bon’s wife? If so, is she suffering from the same accident her husband died from? So many questions, not enough answers.
Gotta say, the whole setting up a new email persona that knows the first one was absolutely hilarious, A++ scambait content right here, thank you for making this
Davis Bon has become a hero in the Shrimp Scambaiting Universe the likes which we have not seen since John Warosa/Barosa. Though Davis doesn't possess the same quantum properties as John, it does seem he has the power of regeneration, if not the outright ability to rise from the dead. Thrilling stuff, really.
@@lightweight1974 My father owned one Ford in 1954. It blew the engine and Ford denied warranty even though the dealership mechanics showed him the metal defect in the con rod. He never drove another. Neither have I out of principle. Sure saved me a lot of grief and money, too!
You know, I feel like the fact they keep asking you to confirm that you're not interested probably indicate they work in a group and have a boss above them and that there is a process they have to follow which includes making sure the victim is not going to pay before moving on. If they were just working solo they could probably just block you and move on, but here it feels like they need your confirmation to be able to close the scam.
That's exactly what I was thinking too tbh. Especially considering how much effort he went through to prove that he was in fact, not lying about Davis Bon's death. It's as if he would've gotten in trouble for carelessly ruining the reputability of the story to another potential victim. The "doctor using his email" excuse had me dead
Never got into your scambait videos until now. THIS is Monty Python level lunacy, I have to applaud your inventive scheme to drive this muppet utterly mad, lol.
Wow, I won't lie. Whereas I usually immensely enjoy your videos every time, this one was TRULY something special. Not only extremely interesting as it went on, but also absurdly hilarious beyond belief. I truly believe there is a skill to this art, and you have gotten better over time. You were PARTICULARLY annoying in this one, and I love it~ xD
Your videos are some of the best things to listen to when working. You talk at a brisk but understandable pace, which is helpful for pacing, and the content itself - but mostly the way you present it - keeps me engaged without taking too much attention away from my working. It's really a brilliant combination and I want to thank you for it.

See? This is why you keep checking if someone's dead or not. Never know when they'll resurrect. It's too bad he passed away again so soon though. The things we take for grendt....
Anyone else love these scambaiting videos? I can't be the only one that has watched all of them on more than one occasion. Thanks again ♥️ I love this channel and all it's content.
Hi Mike, I just wanted to say thanks. I binged all of the scambaiting playlist within a week since I've been through a very traumatic situation. Somehow the gentle humor, reliable format, callbacks and just even the cadence of your voice has helped me to get through the day. Please don't stop with these as there is something strangely calming about them. Of course I will rewatch them too and check out your other content. Is anyone else finding this series suitable for post traumatic healing?
Dang, I never thought about someone sending troll scams to you. Could be kind of funny to see/read what people have posted, but I understand if you don't want to give them the attention they are annoyingly seeking. Thanks for always making such entertaining videos, scam baiting or not! I loved the conversation between your two accounts, to really drive home the, "Seriously?!" moment to the scammer when they realized their 2nd attempted victim knew the first.
I don't know why the name "Davis Bon" is so funny to me. Is it because English is not my first language and I fully live in Asia? Either way, I adore your video as always, Mr Shrimp.
I wish I had the patience for the email scammers, I have tried but my attempts to amuse myself by wasting their time and being slightly silly just end up at a boring dead end. I admire your skill 🥰
Perhaps the real Davis Bon could email McMcAlister asking how his affairs are going, asking why his $30 billion hasn't been distributed, or simply asking why his name is being used. This could be email from the grave, email from his doctor, or just a disgruntled Davis Bon
what if YOU were to take on a "Davis Bon" persona to specifically tell these people you aren't dead? or perhaps, same with other scammers and their random names of diseased people?
this is a bizarre scammer. There is absolutely no reason for him to continue talking to you, but it seems he has the emotional maturity of a small boy.
I *instantly* thought it sounded like a troll... It hit all the notes of all the other different scam emails you've mentioned before. Like you said, a little *too* perfect. Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
What's unusual about it is that the trolls almost invariably slip into an overt sort of racist pantomime version of the scammer's supposed nationality. This one, if it is a troll, didn't do that.
@@AtomicShrimp It could be that (if it is a troll) they saved on effort by just copying and pasting Mc McAllister's scam email - it seems more authentic because it actually is. Rather than having to artificially emulate the trends and mistakes in grammar and spelling, they just plagiarized it. I'm not certain it is a troll because I don't see how they could've gotten your scambaiting email anywhere. I don't think you've had anything other than the name Mange Tout in any of your videos. Maybe someone you'd previously scambaited leaked it to a troll as "revenge"?
@@PavoneSoftworks one of the things that made me think it might not be a troll is that they couldn't have actually copy-pasted the original McAllister email unless they had also received a copy (there's no easy way to copy it out of my earlier video without typing it) Apart from the weird and clumsy changes regarding Elaine Bon, it was a faithful copy in terms of capitalisation, spacing and punctuation
@@AtomicShrimp Could've just been dedicated copying character by character and then find and replace hastily applied afterwards ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Either way, it's an interesting mystery. Maybe we'll see more of it in the future.
Excellent video! I think it is probably 2. I was into the third week of talking to a scammer when he made a mistake, phoning as usual but identifying himself with a different fake name and addressing me by a different name - he thought he was talking to one of his other victims. So they do mess up from time to time.
Oh wow. All my life, I was told of only one reserection. Hell. My parents lied! Scammed by my family!!! Thanks for another great video. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.
love this story with the Davis bon... Depending on how desperate the scammer is for money they might come back again with another approach. Keep up the good work
One of my favorite UA-cam channels, foolish baseball, just now fell for a phishing scam. All his videos were deleted, the channel was renamed to official Tesla or something, and they’re running some crypto scam on a live stream there right now. This guy is a young guy, so it just shows that this kind of thing can happen to anyone, not just old people.
Mr. shrimp, I just wanted to say I love these videos, and honest to god when I need to watch something but can't find anything I want, often I will just put on YOUR videos. you have an unbelievably relaxing cadence, but it's really pleasant in a natural way unlike asmr where it's kind of intense. you don't do that, it feels like a real person talking about something they really care about. of course, your videos are wonderful, and I will go on random binges as I do with many youtubers I love, but no one else's content gives me that feel where it's just relaxing, I don't have to be in the mood for anything. your account is just, always there, and there's a great comfort in that. to me, your content is the only one that's universal in me being down for it. I can see why this style and format of your content is not to everyone's taste, nothing is, but I can understand why so many people wouldn't really vibe w you. and tbh that's their loss, and you're amazing at what you're doing. I'm sleepy and rambling, but I'm decently confident that you do read comments. it's just genuinely remarkable that you manage to be both really funny, engaging,and creative, but also so effortlessly comforting and relaxing. I'm glad you're here.
Option 4. I reckon this may be part of the process. He's trying a different approach. Now it looks like he's angry, but it may not be genuine. He basically wants you to feel worthless and soften you up by bossing you around and trying to dominate you. It's kinda like the good cop/bad cop interrogation technique, but played by only one, really weird cop.
I was wondering... you know how scammers say you need to send them money before they can release "your money"? What if you said you tried to send them their money, but whatever you were using to send money had a problem, and they needed to send you money to release the money to release "the money"?
Hi Mr Shirmp! Honest question... Does calling the scammers a "Small Boy" impact them? I remember when I first found you and it seemed like the scammers reacted to be calling a Small Boy, but more recently, there doesn't seem to any noticeable reaction. Thanks for the incredible content.
I think it's an option between 2 & 3, where a fresh scammer, who is themselves rather unorganized and easily prone to losing their temper, got ahold of the Davis Bon scam-template, and attempted to re-work it by changing Davis to Elaine (and not properly proofreading it to notice the inconsistent use of pronouns). It could be that you weren't the only scambaiter toying with them at the time, leading to a misdirected meltdown out of confusion... but that might be a stretch in-and-of itself...
Thanks to Mike! Now a days scammers are also getting spammed from different email ids. Mike, I would request you to continue this series & this time should be from our fav Merton Snerdon's email account. 📧
[FAN THEORY] I was wondering if it had something to do with that address that Mc McAllister gave you to pick up the package at the house. Haven't quite understood the apple card yet, though. Maybe the scammer was sending things to that mule and was going to have you pick up the card and make a paxful account to scam you further and make you a mule? All while telling you this is the way to receive the funds. Idk
It might be possible that the same scammer figured the same script with a few words changed would work, then forgot they were trying to be someone else when they flew off the handle. I wonder if they actually blocked you?
I think a capable barrister is needed to shed some light on this case. If we only knew someone who could do it...

Schrodinger's Bon:
Until you confront McAllister, both Davis Bon and his doctor have emailed you and Davis Bon is both alive and dead simultaneously
Schrödinger's Bon, huh? Also - great use of the scene from 'Riddick'.
Hi Mike, I just wanted to say thanks. I binged all of the scambaiting playlist within a week since I've been through a very traumatic situation. Somehow the gentle humor, reliable format, callbacks and just even the cadence of your voice has helped me to get through the day. Please don't stop with these as there is something strangely calming about them. Of course I will rewatch them too and check out your other content. Is anyone else finding this series suitable for post traumatic healing?
Dang, I never thought about someone sending troll scams to you. Could be kind of funny to see/read what people have posted, but I understand if you don't want to give them the attention they are annoyingly seeking.
Thanks for always making such entertaining videos, scam baiting or not!
I loved the conversation between your two accounts, to really drive home the, "Seriously?!" moment to the scammer when they realized their 2nd attempted victim knew the first.
"Resurrection" the epic finale of the Davis Bon triology.
I think I saw Davis Bon last week in Aldershot buying expensive cheese in Aldi.
HE'S ALIVE!
I'm sure he is glad nobody took his money while he was dead
I don't know why the name "Davis Bon" is so funny to me. Is it because English is not my first language and I fully live in Asia? Either way, I adore your video as always, Mr Shrimp.
I wish I had the patience for the email scammers, I have tried but my attempts to amuse myself by wasting their time and being slightly silly just end up at a boring dead end.
I admire your skill 🥰
i mean we only see like 10% of the people he emails for that exact reason
I’ve been thinking about Davis Bon today, I wonder how he is.
Perhaps the real Davis Bon could email McMcAlister asking how his affairs are going, asking why his $30 billion hasn't been distributed, or simply asking why his name is being used. This could be email from the grave, email from his doctor, or just a disgruntled Davis Bon
Where is the soul called John Warosa 😞
He lives forever in our hearts 😢
@@avery581 No I just cannot accept that I’m afraid 😧 I want him back 😢
Find yourself a man like Davis. Loyal, never giving up on you, willing to do anything for you, even escape from the pearly gates
what if YOU were to take on a "Davis Bon" persona to specifically tell these people you aren't dead? or perhaps, same with other scammers and their random names of diseased people?
this is a bizarre scammer. There is absolutely no reason for him to continue talking to you, but it seems he has the emotional maturity of a small boy.
I think you are a blessing on humanity. Thank you so much for sharing your treasures with us!
The comment section and this video have truly brightened the not so great week I've had and I've never laughed so hard! Thank you for this!
I *instantly* thought it sounded like a troll... It hit all the notes of all the other different scam emails you've mentioned before. Like you said, a little *too* perfect. Fascinating. Absolutely fascinating.
What's unusual about it is that the trolls almost invariably slip into an overt sort of racist pantomime version of the scammer's supposed nationality. This one, if it is a troll, didn't do that.
@@AtomicShrimp It could be that (if it is a troll) they saved on effort by just copying and pasting Mc McAllister's scam email - it seems more authentic because it actually is. Rather than having to artificially emulate the trends and mistakes in grammar and spelling, they just plagiarized it. I'm not certain it is a troll because I don't see how they could've gotten your scambaiting email anywhere. I don't think you've had anything other than the name Mange Tout in any of your videos. Maybe someone you'd previously scambaited leaked it to a troll as "revenge"?
@@PavoneSoftworks one of the things that made me think it might not be a troll is that they couldn't have actually copy-pasted the original McAllister email unless they had also received a copy (there's no easy way to copy it out of my earlier video without typing it) Apart from the weird and clumsy changes regarding Elaine Bon, it was a faithful copy in terms of capitalisation, spacing and punctuation
@@AtomicShrimp Could've just been dedicated copying character by character and then find and replace hastily applied afterwards ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Either way, it's an interesting mystery. Maybe we'll see more of it in the future.
Excellent video! I think it is probably 2. I was into the third week of talking to a scammer when he made a mistake, phoning as usual but identifying himself with a different fake name and addressing me by a different name - he thought he was talking to one of his other victims. So they do mess up from time to time.
Oh wow. All my life, I was told of only one reserection. Hell. My parents lied! Scammed by my family!!! Thanks for another great video. Greetings from Dimboola, in Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺.
love this story with the Davis bon...
Depending on how desperate the scammer is for money they might come back again with another approach.
Keep up the good work
One of my favorite UA-cam channels, foolish baseball, just now fell for a phishing scam. All his videos were deleted, the channel was renamed to official Tesla or something, and they’re running some crypto scam on a live stream there right now. This guy is a young guy, so it just shows that this kind of thing can happen to anyone, not just old people.
Mr. shrimp, I just wanted to say I love these videos, and honest to god when I need to watch something but can't find anything I want, often I will just put on YOUR videos. you have an unbelievably relaxing cadence, but it's really pleasant in a natural way unlike asmr where it's kind of intense. you don't do that, it feels like a real person talking about something they really care about. of course, your videos are wonderful, and I will go on random binges as I do with many youtubers I love, but no one else's content gives me that feel where it's just relaxing, I don't have to be in the mood for anything. your account is just, always there, and there's a great comfort in that. to me, your content is the only one that's universal in me being down for it. I can see why this style and format of your content is not to everyone's taste, nothing is, but I can understand why so many people wouldn't really vibe w you. and tbh that's their loss, and you're amazing at what you're doing. I'm sleepy and rambling, but I'm decently confident that you do read comments. it's just genuinely remarkable that you manage to be both really funny, engaging,and creative, but also so effortlessly comforting and relaxing. I'm glad you're here.
Some Main Character development going on in the Scambaiting series
I've been around and watching this account for years now, it's no point to not subscribe at this point.❤️
Thank God, he is well.
"did you hear that Elane Bon had an accident?"
"oh no, what sort of accident 😟?"
"any accident 😭."
😰
Thank you for the chuckle. I needed it after the week I've had
4:44 I can hear from my place the scammer screaming “NOOOOOOOOO!!! not Manuel!”. With the despair of Darth Vader in his voice.
This utterly stupid yet so brilliant, love your videos!
Option 4. I reckon this may be part of the process. He's trying a different approach. Now it looks like he's angry, but it may not be genuine. He basically wants you to feel worthless and soften you up by bossing you around and trying to dominate you.
It's kinda like the good cop/bad cop interrogation technique, but played by only one, really weird cop.
Aah yes, the 1967 Casino Royale cop.
Poor Davis Bon only got enough time as a resurrectee to send a single email...
I was wondering... you know how scammers say you need to send them money before they can release "your money"?
What if you said you tried to send them their money, but whatever you were using to send money had a problem, and they needed to send you money to release the money to release "the money"?
This video being uploaded is a better start to my morning than a full English breakfast
I feel for Mr Davis Bon's family with him dying so shortly after he came back to life.
Hi Mr Shirmp! Honest question... Does calling the scammers a "Small Boy" impact them? I remember when I first found you and it seemed like the scammers reacted to be calling a Small Boy, but more recently, there doesn't seem to any noticeable reaction. Thanks for the incredible content.
These people are childish by genetics. Easily insulted, and takes little to knock the everlasting chip off their shoulders!
Depends where they are from... it can be revealing at times, especially when they bite 😉
The Davis Bon saga is as entertaining as John Warosa/Barosa. So much fun.
Honestly, I needed this. It's great. 😅 I love your videos. Idk how I found you but I am so glad i did. You keep me very entertained after a long day.
Davis Bon will live in our hearts forever! Cheers!
This is my favourite of the scambating series. Absolutely excellent, Mr Shrimp! 👍🏻⭐️
I think it's an option between 2 & 3, where a fresh scammer, who is themselves rather unorganized and easily prone to losing their temper, got ahold of the Davis Bon scam-template, and attempted to re-work it by changing Davis to Elaine (and not properly proofreading it to notice the inconsistent use of pronouns). It could be that you weren't the only scambaiter toying with them at the time, leading to a misdirected meltdown out of confusion... but that might be a stretch in-and-of itself...
I'm impressed that you were able to get 3 videos out of this one scammer lol. Fun time as always!
But this didn't answer the question. How is Mr Bon?
He's alive!
Quick! Measure his girth before it's too late!
Thanks to Mike! Now a days scammers are also getting spammed from different email ids.
Mike, I would request you to continue this series & this time should be from our fav Merton Snerdon's email account. 📧
[FAN THEORY] I was wondering if it had something to do with that address that Mc McAllister gave you to pick up the package at the house. Haven't quite understood the apple card yet, though. Maybe the scammer was sending things to that mule and was going to have you pick up the card and make a paxful account to scam you further and make you a mule? All while telling you this is the way to receive the funds. Idk
Also would make sense why he wouldn't tell you how big the package is... because it fits in the palm of your hand lol
the fact that davis bon became alive again is one of the funniest gotcha moments of all time on this channel
Great job as always.
I recommend your channel to everyone, I cannot express how much I love the unique style & humor you use. 😂
It might be possible that the same scammer figured the same script with a few words changed would work, then forgot they were trying to be someone else when they flew off the handle.
I wonder if they actually blocked you?
Being able to read that entire email without stuffing up with their broken translation is just impressive.
Ugh, every time one of these scam baiting videos are posted, I wind up binge-watching every single scam baiting video.
I like how you read it just as they typed it, including misspellings and errant apostrophes.
This should be a new Eric Castiglia single
