Baiting the Bots – an Investigation of the Ubiquitous YouTube Spambots








I previously looked at some of the bot comments on YouTube promoting bitcoin investment scams. In this video, I’ll try baiting the scammers behind them.

Intro and outro music was composed by Eric Castiglia:

In case you have questions about my scambaiting videos or efforts, you might find the answer below:
Why are the scams so badly written? (Also do stupid people deserve to be scammed?) –
Why do the scammers ask for personal details (that they don’t seem to use)? –
Why don’t you scam the scammers? –
Are you helping scammers to get better at scamming? –
Why not tell the scammers to deduct the fee from the prize? –
Who is John Warosa/Barosa? –
Did you steal your script, or steal or the idea of scambaiting from someone else?
Why don’t you make more/only scambaiting videos?
If the scammers want Steam/Google Play/iTunes cards, are they kids/gamers?
Can I send you scam emails for you to bait?
How can I get started scambaiting?
Why do you blur the scammers’ email addresses?
Why don’t you read the scammer’s emails in an Indian Accent?
Why don’t you report these scammers to the police?
Are these stories real?
How do people even fall for scams?
How safe is scambaiting?
How do you Receive so many scam emails?
Aren’t you just wasting your time?

  1. It's weird because I had to deal with a lot of real FedEx customer service not too long ago and they will tell you whatever you want to hear to get a 5 in the survey after the conversation. If they can't give you the warm fuzzy feeling they'll stay on the line and wait for you to hang up so you never reach the survey and give them a 1. I couln't help but Feel like Fedex Wasn't getting what they paid for…
    I guess it makes sense; why scam individuals when you can scam whole multinational companies, ya know?

  2. "What cords? Do you mean like, red string?"
    Sent me 🤣 I love any and all red string references

  3. I see these things under CNBC and other financial videos all the time. I had one respond to me when I called them out just recently, so there are humans involved.

  4. I'll take it with a grain of salt, if these "hackers" are experienced and proven helped prior cases, why do they have to deduct their software cost on you? Thats like restaurant asking you to buy them a stove to cook your breakfast
