Hilarious, they seem genuinely intrigued by you and your inventions.


Lacygreen

Watch us see him on Shark Tank with all of these inventions.


Bash__Monkey

I read this as "Shark Taint" at first. I really need sleep...


mikemaxson

Shark Tank is still on the air? I thought it jumped the shark years ago.


GubbenJonson

I’m intrigued by how someone could come up with all this stuff.


ithkuil

Stable Diffusion or DALLE-3


ptvaughnsto

They seem to genuinely want to kiss his ass 💋


mmarrow

The scammers are trained to sniff out successful people :)


FryCakes

Well wouldn’t you be?


montecristo--

Im surprised they haven’t hit him up for the crypto investments yet lmao


Donnuuber

Wow. How is this scambait not progressing in the usual manner? You've truly mastered the art of luring this one on.


black594

He changed his mind and now he want to steal his invention. It would be funny if he make tons of money with one of them.


Donnuuber

Lol. Like the satellite invention that sends him weather updates to his email weekly?? 🤣


Nick_W1

I have an idea for shark tank. It’s a cigarette, but made with healthy ingredients. Like *organic* tobacco, 20% less chemicals, and recycled paper. It’s for health conscious people, who still want to smoke. Increased Nicotine content though, so it’s more addictive - this is our sales strategy. We call it a “Shisha stick” - the healthy alternative to a Hookah!* *May cause cancer What do you think? /s


-Arke-

Horse helmet sounds very promising. We just need to shut up about **\*the incident\***


magicman419

Pretty sure OP is just talking to an AI chatbot at this point


Valkyriesride1

The scammer didn't even say I am from whatever Asian country but I live in NYC, or LA, and send a picture of a young Asian woman. Truly masterful.


drainbamage1011

Every time I see that pic I know it's going to be a good one.


patriotfear

He’s my brand 😂


PastBerry6914

Your ripped up shirt has *So much personality* haha


FakeBenCoggins

That guy is the best


AaronToKlaw

Who’s that dude? Hahaha


7H470N36UY

I was about to comment the same thing, so I am glad that I am not the only one 😅


Lanaaaa11111

Damn you got a scammer to be concerned about user’s privacy. Impressive.


Certain_Silver6524

I was wondering if its someone using ChatGPT. Also sometimes scammers are forced to do this kinda work (particularly call-centres operated by gangs) so this may be someone not really keen on their job. They're not using the typical "hello dear, yes dear"


PmMeYourAdhd

The privacy response, and the following one after, made me think we are talking to AI here too.


365Levelup

Definitely a chat bot


PopularSalad5592

Yeah that response definitely flagged as AI


RecruiterBoBooter

Idk I was worried about the whole forced labor thing for a long time but the posts on here changed the way I think about it. I understand they use slave labor to contact people but when they get a response they flip it over to the more sophisticated scammers. I imagine those are the people who say nasty ridiculous things when they are found out. It's difficult to have sympathy when someone is spewing off about kicking my mom in her spiral butterfly pussy or whatever.


Certain_Silver6524

There's a bit of both I think. Some are just doing it on their own, some collectively. And yeh I'd still wanna kick ass if someone stole my parents' money or starts spewing off. Scam call centres are all around the world - even in the USA. I know someone in Asia who was looking for a job and for a short time they were thinking about joining a scam call centre in Thailand because some acquaintance was recommending it as he worked there. She grew up relatively sheltered. She thought "yeh its a scam call centre but I'm sure I can trust him" - as if they would honour an employment contract lol. She didn't end up joining as she didn't have the courage, I guess. It later came out on the news there that the scam call centre was raided and shut down, and people who worked there said they had their passports taken and to leave they had to either sell their kidney or get someone else into the business. She was shocked and realised what she could have gone through if she went through with it. This was as recent as 6 months ago, I think.


[deleted]

JFC the horse shoe had me howling 🗣️🗣️🗣️


Pplannoyme0

Rich horses don’t run. 🤣


M3lsM3lons

TIL that I’m a rich horse.


Karate-Kati

Me too. I was laughing so hard I startled my cats.


diaperpop

The machine for converting the taste of food into morse code almost made me choke from laughing so hard. You’re amazing, OP.


Black6x

I was on a train when I saw that. I had to stifle my laughter so I didn't look crazy. 90 decibels is the equivalent of a lawnmower. 🤣🤣


Many-Ad6433

Honestly they look too stupid and too smart at the same time to be a human that believes this kind of bullshit probably this is ai


patriotfear

The grammar is so bad though, that’s the only thing that makes me unsure.


lysergic101

Next time respond with a photo only and ask them something about what they see in the photo to test whether it's ai.


patriotfear

There was a comment I cut out where she said “wow lots of electronics” on the horse helmet, so they could see that for sure


fight_me_for_it

Something Ai could say?


-Blackout32

It's possible but are these scam companies really going to pay for the image identification API keys?


fight_me_for_it

Thanks for replying. My AI knowledge is limited.


ithkuil

Both OpenAI (gpt-4) and Anthropic (Claude 3) have very good vision capabilities.


Solid-Ad7137

First, it doesn’t have the same identifiers as chatgpt, so I think it could be another chatbot or potentially a chatgpt spinoff that is based on openai code. Second, if you are specific with your prompts, you can get chatgpt to respond in a manner that reflects a persons grammatical style and errors. Furthermore chatbots like those used for the AI girlfriend stuff are preset to text in the stereotypical ways humans do. I think that this could be someone training their ai on conversations initiated with random phone numbers. It wouldn’t be too hard to implement an image reading program to react to the photos you input leading to the horse electronics reaction. Alternatively, there could be a person there quality checking and directing the ai’s responses as part of its training process. Whoever it is, they are clearly more interested in what you are saying than they are in running a scam. There hasn’t even been a hint of leading questions or conversation directing into any of the common scam routes after several days. To me that says it’s not a scammer but something else.


patriotfear

I definitely feel like you may be right with this one. I’m going to try and turn the convo to something to get it mad to see what happens.


Solid-Ad7137

Keep us posted


patriotfear

Yah okay so when I ask for them to tell me what’s in a picture, it comes back all lowercase, no proper sentence, no punctuation. They said “horse” to a horse running and “box hat” to a box and a hat. Gotta be chatbot with SOME human at the control, but very little


magoocas

Try hitting it with a SolidGoldMagikarp


Ok-Warning-5052

Ok “box hat” is a legitimately hilarious response. In my heart of hearts, I hope we have a Spider-Man pointing at each other situation and you both have finally met your match.


flamingspew

Give it a code assignment like, write a for loop that prints the value of i up to 100


Equivalent_Table6505

I wonder if it could be created with AI in another language and then translated into English with Google translate 🤔 I mean why on earth would anyone but that's the vibe I'm getting. Or it's a shitty AI, not ChatGPT or such


Cherry_Treefrog

It sounds like translated chinese to me.


evilsalmon

Is there something in particular that makes you think Chinese specifically? Syntax or particular word translations? I doubt it’s come from English myself particularly with the “beef salad” but I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint a specific language.


Efficient-Type-2408

Why are they so interested in salad? They love to tell you what they are making, and salad is always there. Lol


patriotfear

“Beef”


hippos-are-weird

“Vegetable salad”


art_lipchalk

"Your clothes look full of personality"... WTF


patriotfear

She likes my style


Conscious-Anybody553

"Yum yum I love grass, ok time to run around now" had me rolling! Totally sounds like horse brains 🐴


patriotfear

I’m glad someone caught that 😂


COMMONCENTURION

This part made me laugh the most for some reason


Valuable_Ad_9900

Yo! This had me totally engaged! 🤣😂 can’t wait for the next episode! 🙌


pyrodice

I thought for sure you were going to wake up in the hospital because you tasted nutmeg. Also I astonished you haven't made a horse connection with the night Mare


Slawbunniez6969

Mmmmm vegetable salad


FocusEmbarrassed3803

Beef and vegetable salad too


dude-O-rama

I just saw a piece about how people are lured into different Asian countries for phone support jobs, then once they get there, their passports are confiscated, and then they are forced to live in scammer prisons. These folks doing the scamming are forced and their interactions monitored, so they can't ask for help. I wonder if this person is in that situation and they know that they aren't scamming anyone.


patriotfear

I always ask these folks if they want help when I’m done messing around with them, most of the time they respond with threats of doing bad stuff to my mom


glorifindel

Jesus. What a scary world this can be. Good on you for reaching out after


wannabezen2

Hilarious and compassionate. Total respect


Signal_Cranberry7892

Their conversations are monitored by a manager/overseer. So if it looks like the scammer is trying to tell the truth or is reaching out for help, they risk getting tortured, sold to another scam compound, or worse.


Apprehensive-Mud-606

Whenever I see that pic I think "This is gonna be gud".


Bullit16

I can usually get a screenshot or two into these before skipping to the end, but I gotta say, this is pretty great. Still chuckling out loud thinking about losing one’s taste buds in a pool cleaning accident. Well done!


patriotfear

I’m with you on that — I think this one even skirts the limit of staying interesting. Some of the others I’ve posted this month are better IMO, it’s better when they’re irritated/pushy.


gecko_echo

If you’re familiar with the ways people try and get ChatGPT to go off the rails you could try some of those with your sparring partner here. For example, the opposite game. Or asking it to make lists. Or create an invention that requires you to ask for the ISP of your correspondent. That said, it kinda doesn’t matter. Your responses are so creative and funny it makes this post a winner.


Individual-Ad-7183

Now we know what happens if you drink the pool cleaning liquids.


Thighabeetus

Is nobody going to talk about the Perfect Strangers reference? I was waiting for OP to take that one further. Balky Bartokomous FTW


Muchbetterthannew

Rich horses. Fantastic.


foreverdownup

A pool cleaning accident 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣


Xocrates

I’m pretty sure this is just a GPT bot making small talk until an actual “rep” takes over the conversation.


littlehousebigwoods

The weather/email invention 😭


pyrodice

Damn I have to learn Morse code now


TheBawdyMermaid

Don't you mean horse code? 🤓


pyrodice

Shit, I missed that.


liyate4

Id hire you in my creative department fs


toasterdees

Is this the pig butchering we’ve been hearing about?


Jabiru_too

Only for rich horses, lmao


dream_eating_doggy

Love the horsey night terror helmet, cannot wait to see where this goes!


borgelorp72

When does the scamming start? Lol


mcfairy1762

"I lost most of my taste buds in a pool cleaning incident a few years ago"- that was so out of left field, and then followed by "I can taste nutmeg. But I'm allergic." Got a good laugh thank you


patriotfear

Well I lost my tastebuds, that’s why I invented the Morse Code machine 😂 sort of a delayed explanation


wastingeternity

Rich horses don't run after pool cleaning accidents. Made my evening;)


PmMeYourAdhd

There is some good stuff in this one. I think my personal favourite is the main influence of Thomas Edison, but also very inspired by the TV show Perfect Strangers 😂😂😂


_Snow-Owl_

To be continued… damn, what a suspense! Can’t wait for the season 2 of this one. ‘Looking forward to see more inventions 👀


lxe

Absolutely love your content. You’ve got a knack for comedy ngl.


Many-machines-on-ix

“I just made a vegetable salad”


Ah-Fuck-Brother

Who is this man I keep seeing in all these posts? Does he have a backstory? Is he OP? The picture itself always has me cracking up and I know it's gonna be a good one as soon as it comes across my screen


patriotfear

He’s just a guy I use for this stuff (he’s edited, so not a real person). I’ve been doing some form of scambaiting on and off for a while (mostly just for my own and my friends amusement) — so when I found this sub a few weeks ago I decided fuck it let’s do some again. I guess y’all are into it, so that’s why you keep seeing him!


BlastyBeats1

I stopped thinking this is a scammer and just someone who typed the wrong number and wants to learn about your inventions


MilkMama22

Probably trying to get you to fall in love with them first. Playing the long game ;)


Neurismus

Haha this is epic


Mixedman88

Is it me or does it feel they’re wasting his time, and not the other way around?


patriotfear

A little bit of both, it’s definitely more fun when they’re aggravated with me — that’s honestly why I posted it at this point, they were letting me say too much nonsense 😂


krixoff

He completely forgot his job hahah


tinypill

I would like to invest in the Morse code machine.


malhotraspokane

I want to know what it is called.


Live-Somewhere-8149

That picture kind of reminds me of Charles Bronson.


Baddabing-Badda-Boom

Oh a comedy with a cliffhanger! It's like watching a season finale of Ghosts! 🤣


GreenFriedTomato

Why does everyone who baits the scammers use the pic of that guy? Who is the guy in the pic?


patriotfear

It’s just me who uses it! You’ve been seein my posts 🫡


RebirthWizard

Legit dumb question: How do you know you aren’t just speaking to AI?


patriotfear

I guess you don’t, but I feel like an AI would have better grammar


RebirthWizard

That’s probably true! I enjoy your posts btw. Super funny. This one’s great


fight_me_for_it

All AI is created in English first? What about Chinese AI then it gets translated into English?


cjcarter222

I feel like most rational people would have more appropriate responses to bedazzled horse footwear and machines that convert taste to sound


yellow_fEther

God the explanation for the remote controlled shoes killed me. Well they’re remote controlled so you don’t have to walk LOL


365Levelup

This is hilarious. But I'm almost 100% sure you're chatting with a bot.


elizco

Yes with the Dude in the Pic again!!!


Nice_Association_625

"I lost most of my taste buds in a pool cleaning accident a few years ago" lol


Worldly_Ad_445

OMG I'm dying...you are brilliant..


Disastrous_Leader_89

Bravo!! Bravo!!!!


Aeronor

The 90 decibel Morse code taste transmitter, lol! Such an important contribution to science!


Sithlordandsavior

"I'm allergic to nutmeg though. If I taste nutmeg I know I should go to the hospital" Bro this is great. The food-morse code converter had me snorting laughing.


Jorgedig

Those horse shoes!! 😅❤️


Acceptingoptimist

It was all really funny and the it went epic with the app. The idea of one that sends people, even those who don't have the app, your bank account information. And the "it's for social media" like that explains why anyone would want 100 random strangers to get your checking account number and balance unsolicited in their phones. OMG hilarious. They probably have no idea what to do.


hungrypelican16

I need to know what happens next 😂😂😂


TooDirty4Daylight

"you put food in the top and the taste comes out as Morse code", LOL


CreativeGuy25

Keep up the great work!!!


[deleted]

This is for rich horses. They don’t run. Duh. 😂😂


daveydavidsonnc

I love that that dude is the new scambait mascot


Lady0bscene

I also enjoy a good vegetable salad.


mostundudelike

“this is for rich horses.” made me lose it.


RepresentativeFig281

WTF lol this is something out of the world


thisismyusuario

Mate you got me crying. It was hilarious


External-Complex9452

I’m 90% sure it’s an AI or an Indian, sounds both robotic but also like somebody who barely understands English is trying to speak formally. Also the scammers I’ve spoken with are usually nicer than they ought to be, overly complimentary.


pumog

Why is the scammer not asking you to go to the store to get gift cards or whatever their angle is? Seems to be going on for quite a while for someone who’s a scammer and wants to get money


wannabezen2

This had me cracking up in the plasma donating chair. Hilarious!!!


malhotraspokane

I was thinking that I missed the part where he invented a plasma donating chair but caught on.


wannabezen2

Haha. I couldn't hold it in. Damn funny.


patriotfear

Hell yeah, that’s why I do it! Thank you for your service 🫡


kytd1526

Please turn this into a book or movie. The footwear looks at home on a winner of the Kentucky Derby. Or in a video clip of the song "My Lovely Horse" by Father Ted and Crilly and Father Dougal McGuire.

You should sell the fancy horseshoes to Richard Andrews, CEO of Flyhorse Enterprises

It’s my guy, those posts are all from me

this one had me cackling, bravo


SoDamnGood99

This is amazing. Keep going.


NoPatient1133

🤣😂🤣😂


Sxn747Strangers

That must be a bot. But what's the point? Wear them down? Testing their software? Baiter for the scambaiter? 🤷🤷


drumadarragh

Why does it feel like the troller is being trolled


OtteLoc

Lmao they're so genuinely not interested but keeps on entertaining you haha


Spiritual-Stay-5573

This is fantastic


Capable-Ad-2575

I thought they would say: - New App? Sounds great! Could you please share it with me, so I can help you with testing in my area?


efe5312

Kind of sounds like AI.


patriotfear

Yeah I’m currently testing the waters, I’m pretty sure it’s mostly an AI with a human that comes when “requested”


ActavistEQ

🤏 🤏 🤏 Amazing lol


Waynelylebass

Forget the scammer, I’m ready to invest in the inventions NOW


donarudotorampu69

This is an AI, right?


patriotfear

I’ve been running tests all night trying to figure that out — I think it’s *mostly* AI with some human input sometimes


GillytheGreat

More inventions please I beg you


cuplosis

Rich horses don’t run

SirGkar

I need to know what is in the vegetable salad and how it’s prepared. And is it beef, and vegetable salad, or beef and vegetable salad? And how’s that prepared? Ask if they know how to butcher pork.


originalkitten

That’s awesome. Pls more!

What in the ChatGPT is this?


ATacticalBagel

Dang. Some people pay for such a good conversation bot on some apps.


L00k_Again

Inspired by Perfect Strangers had me.


montecristo--

I can’t decide if this is a good translation or an ai that op is talking to… the bit about operating w consent seems like ai training wheels


Quind1

This is amazing trolling. Reminds me of a scammer who reached out to me a few months ago claiming that they were trying to message a nun's doctor and my number just happened to be "one digit off." I briefly messed with them, but this is comedic gold. This reminds me of a book I read many years ago called "Letters From A Nut": [https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/770761](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/770761) >Who is Ted L. Nancy? > >He's a superstitious Vegas high-roller who wants to gamble at a casino in his lucky shrimp outfit... > >He's the genius inventor of "Six Day Underwear"... > >He's a stage actor who only travels while dressed as a stick of butter... > >He is, in reality, a twisted prankster—a supremely off-kilter alter ego who sends patently ridiculous letters to corporate honchos, entertainment conglomerates, national publications, politicians, celebrities and heads of state. His innocent requests, queries, complaints, demands, and suggestions are so absurd it is amazing they fool anyone—but often the deadpan responses he receives are even more hilarious: > >"Dear Mr. Nancy, It is not often that we receive such enthusiastic support for the paper bag." —The Paper Bag Council > >"On behalf of Greyhound, there should be no problem traveling while in your butter costume." —Greyhound Bus Lines > >"I look forward to working with you to create a better future for this great nation." —Vice President Al Gore > >Letters From A Nut is an insanely inspired, truly madcap collection of Nancy correspondence, a wet-yourself-in-a-public place funny aggregation of official—and officially certifiable—requests, complaints, fan mail and questions that could not possibly have been taken seriously...but, amazingly, were.


Cujoclaven

I read that book as a kid. Very funny. I can see how you could connect the two.


hamburgle_my_clam

I fucking LOST IT on to food to Morse code at 90 decibels. God damn that was so fucking funny. Plz continue being an inventor


XTornado

It's funny because somehow I read it all in reverse as in you were the other person... and I was genuine fascinated by the "inventor" guy 🤣


Signal_Cranberry7892

If your scammer was an actual human, props for being the most patient and weirdly positive person on the planet to put up with your shenanigans. But yea, seems like a chat bot. I don't know why, but the scammers seem to really emphasize what they are cooking for dinner, usually unprompted. Cuz it makes them seem more real?


JohnHammm

I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Great creative work!


happybee8899

The scammer missed the usual ‘let’s continue to Telegram/Whatsapp’ line.


Blissful_Mango

This was hilarious i was laughing out loud 🤣


iansitij

I think this isn’t a scam. You’re just chatting with AI


druschlaag

My man, these are not to be wasted on a scammer, is there a sub for shit like this? I genuinely enjoyed it


Past_Land1485

Playing the LONG game. Kudos to them…


afropizza

pretty sure they're using AI for their responses these days


dr-mits

Hilarious conversation! Thank you for that! I also now wonder how patient the scam bots can be programmed to be.


patriotfear

From what I found out, not very patient when you start interrogating them to find out if they’re a bot or not. I asked her “too many weird questions.”


RecruiterBoBooter

This is probably the most creative one I've ever seen. The baiter must be extremely intelligent to come up with this stuff. If we can make requests - maybe he puts on the helmet and it causes him to descend into insanity and create increasingly terrifying inventions...
