Will you let me remote onto your system and give me the access to your computer?

I'm Pierogi from Scammer Payback on YouTube.

Let's answer your questions from the internet.

This is Scambaiting Support. ["Scambaiting Support"] I'm Mango May, and the question is, what are the red flags of a scammer?

Someone that is trying to rush you to go make a quick decision.

Like, hey, you need to go to the store and buy gift cards.

You need to send money through Cash App as soon as possible.

They want to move as quickly as possible on their victims, because if there's any lag in time, maybe a family member or something will intervene and say, hey, who are you talking to?

Why are you sending money to these people?

Also, someone remoting into your computer or your phone.

So don't ever let anybody do it, even if it's someone claiming to be tech support.

And then the third is this form of payment.

So a lot of scammers will use Zelle, Cash App.

They'll have you go buy gift cards, just like these right here, send wire transfers, or even go buy Bitcoin and send it to them.

That's typically a pretty big red flag that you're talking to a scammer.

AtLazyJocelyn says, why do scammers always need gift cards?

This is the easiest way for a scammer to get money from a victim.

They get the victims to buy these target gift cards, for instance, have them scratch off the code on the back, and then tell that code to the scammer.

And they'll say, hey, I'll give you $1,000 of gift cards.

And it's a way for them to stay anonymous and get the money really, really quickly.

This question's from Cora and it says, how many types of online scamming are out there?

On our channel, we deal typically with the pop-up tech support scams.

You get a pop-up on your computer and then you call into a fake Microsoft support and they want to steal all your money.

We've run across other types of scams that are out there from romance scams or someone's pretending to be a celebrity.

Their mother, who's 90 plus years old, was falling in love with a country star out of Nashville.

And the only way she could help him was by sending tens of thousands of dollars.

If your mama or your grandma is talking to some celebrity on Facebook, it's probably not them.

At Madbalaleka says, guys, guys, real quick, how do I mess with a scammer?

When I mess with scammers, I really enjoy reversing to their computers.

I can actually watch them when they're on phone calls with victims.

Just like right here, this is their phone system.

And from there, we can intervene in actual scams that are happening.

So say grandma wants to send $25,000 to the scammer, she's on the phone with them.

We can see the phone number, we can get in contact with the victim, or we can even send law enforcement directly to their house and stop the scam.

One of my favorite things to do is just pissing off scammers.

They're trying to remote into my system and have me do different things on my computer.

So I do things like right-click when they say left-click.

I ask them to turn their volume up on their microphone.

I don't do anything that they ask me to do.

Why are you opening that again and again if I'm telling you not to?

It's the best feeling ever when you hear them yelling at you and cussing at you.

You know whom you're fucking talking to right now, you fucking piece of shit.

And I know the fans really enjoy that too.

They enjoy all those moments of scammer rage.

I've even done things like access the scammer's webcams and force them to show their face to the world.

One of the best things I think in our channel's history was we hacked one of the guys that sends out these scam emails.

He logs in these US cloud servers to be able to bypass email security.

Like we have his face from his webcam and we had his location from his computer.

He had a Python script that was sending these scam emails out to victims, tens of thousands every day.

So when he would send out the scam email, the entire email said, hi, here's my photo.

He finally realized that he had gotten got and he had been sending his own information out to all these victims.

It was a real fun way of trolling these guys.

Moles for days on Reddit asks, the guy's name is moles for days.

I know I can make a fake persona, make an email and stuff, virtual box, but I'm just worried I'm gonna get hacked or something.

If you're worried about getting hacked, maybe you probably shouldn't do scambaiting.

The number one thing is really just protect yourself.

Never let a scammer on your physical computer.

Also, never talk with scammers on your actual phone number.

They will take that information and find who you are.

So you don't want to make the wrong scammer angry.

At Real Super Nola says, what do these random scammer texts hope to achieve?

To see if one, somebody's actually there, or two, if they're going to respond.

If they can get you to respond, then they probably got you because then they can now start to run their scam.

Most of the scammers just work off of first name, last name, phone number, email address.

There could be a data breach and they're buying this off the dark web with a bunch of information.

So just even an email address or a phone number could lead a scammer to know everything about their victim from their full name, their husband, wife, kids, physical address, you name it.

At underscore Dice King says, which social media has the most scammers enlightened me?

There's a lot of bots on Facebook and scammers and they target specific groups.

I've seen a lot of religious groups that donate money to certain causes.

They'll go in there and they'll start seeing, hey, this person's given $500 to this cause.

I'm going to reach out to them and try to scam them.

It doesn't matter if you're on Instagram, X, Facebook, whatever, private your profiles so that these people can't target you.

At Cinty Kin says, apparently when you reply to a scam text, they track your phone.
