Would you like to hold hands?

KKKKKKK, the problem is that you are always saying that would you like to hold hands :(
I saw like 8 videos and you said it on 3 or 4.
Ps: I loved the waiting fish song and animation and i laugh so hard on that video about the depressive scammer

Always a good rule of thumb to ignore numbers you don't recognize.

Why on earth? It takes much longer to be bothered and wondering about some unknown number than to hang up the second they try to scam you into buying something. It might be new number of a friend, some legit business etc. And then you miss out on a chance to troll them if they are annoying telemarketers :P

Scammers use software that dials random numbers in mass, then flags the ones that answer (and especially call back) as a "sucker".
Also, it's not usually a good idea to prank them from your real number because they sometimes retaliate by bombarding your number with calls.

Can you hear this bump now? The number is ..... Did you get that?

Not bad :D It is rather entertaining but I think it would be more educational if you also explained the type of scam in the description. For example I'm not familiar with this scam. Is it somehow Steam related or do they just call random phone numbers and try to get their credit card numbers with the promise of free stuff.

I normally explain the scams on my other vids, but I wasn't 100% sure on this one as I lost the number shortly after recording. (Whoops!)
I believe this one baits people with a pop-up on websites. "Call and receive your free gift voucher!"
One variant simply swipes your CC number, while another charges you for the shipping and never sends anything, hoping you simply forget. Another one I know of will have the supervisor ask you if you're interested in about a million small offers/"free trials", which eventually charge you monthly after the first free month.
The other scams I explore are IRS and bogus technical support ones. I have a dating site extortionist one recorded, as well. There are lots of phone scam variants.
Thanks for watching!

I see. I'm not sure if phone scams aren't very common where I live or if I just got lucky so far.
IRS as in Internal Revenue Service I assume ?

Have the CRA (Canada Revenue Agency) scam up here in ol' Canuckland! Had a couple of messages left on my voicemail saying that I had to call back immediately or I'll be in trouble! Well, it's been a couple of months, and no trouble!;)

Correct, Sundance.
The CRA scam is running rampant these days, as well. They're also hitting Australia pretty hard.

Sundance?;)
Yep. That scam is hitting pretty much wherever they can find a "dupe". Unfortunately, some people fall for the trap hook, line, and sinker.

I've only seen the first season. I thought it was OK.
I mostly have the name to confuse people in competitive games.

Thank you for letting me know. I do know that it has Jared Padalecki (he plays Sam on Supernatural) in it, and that is about it.;)

I would hold your hand. :3
Great job on trolling that guy, nice video!
.... and that reminds me that I got not one, but two scam phone calls this week from people pretending to be Microsoft tech guys.

Lemme just get you some materials for one of your previous subjects.... :3

How often do you receive those calls? lol Where are you from?
Comment has been collapsed.
I actually call these guys - They don't call me.
BUT, I do get scam calls on my personal phone. I never answer the phone for those. Good rule of thumb.
I'm from U.S.

Hello!
I prank telephone scammers and identity thieves, animate the audio in an anime style and upload it to YouTube for your enjoyment!
In the newest video, I troll a gift card scammer until he ragequits! (I even get him to hold my hand and do a chant with me!)
Check it out Here!
Wasting a scammer's time means fewer people scammed!
Unfortunately, these scams DO work. While the videos are entertaining, they're also intended to be educational.
Here's the train.
Thank-you, and GL!
