0:00 how are you Bart replies with praise Allah very good brother how are you and then and then later in the day it took him six hours to come up with a response he goes how are you my friend have you paid attention to today's encryption Market Muhammad why you talk to me this way like we are strangers [Music] have you guys heard about chat GPT I like it we like it we love it a guy in California says I could probably use this technology to piss off and waste the time of some telemarketer scum and that's exactly great applications that's better application than some of the other applications I've heard agreed well how does he do it so check this out he has a service called Jolly Roger customers paying like 25 a year to use

0:51 this product and the idea is to use like a voice cloner to keep the scammer on the line for as long as possible but does it waste your phone bills your phone bills your minutes is a waste your minutes that's a great question I don't know because what if someone's trying to call you and then like a scam you're on the scam call and then you can't pick up that number what if the scammers using chat gbg2 and just talking forever maybe they're just like using Google Chinese restaurants well my minutes roll over is the question as well thanks Nick and will the AI will the AI can you check in there I'm checking what about anything well the AI thing still give your credit card info so they have preset expressions and topic specific responses that are forced through a voice cloner so the telemarketer actually thinks they're talking to a real human being wow like

1:42 in one such instance a chat bot named Whitey whiteboard picked up a call from a recorded uh female voice with a warning about a Bank of America um uh account and the Whiteboard the chat bot said something back and the telemarketer call got transferred to a real person who then tried to talk to the chat bot about credit card consolidation whoa that's the game huh yep and um the guy who invented this he told the Wall Street Journal that it sounded like the caller was fishing for financial information they could use for identity theft which is one of the scams that often happens right and the caller who who apparently didn't work for Bank of America only got goofy responses that drug dragged out the conversation so it's kind of like that tuber guy yes who's who ████ with the scammers I love

2:34 those videos waste all their time deletes their files yeah dude so he's a Savage Dude Looks into their webcams yeah dude he takes a picture of their whole call center he calls them by their first names yeah yeah they're like and then they all go hacker hacker hacker and then they all start shutting down these are scrambling yeah he'll even um you know he's found like where they are and then buy it the next week they're gone yep yep yeah the whole building's gone like a five-story building gone that's crazy yeah so um people are I mean I think this whole room is pretty much Petty enough to pay for a service for these guys I would love to my I get my phone calls that I get every like I don't remember the last time I got a legit phone call from a normal person honestly Sam I get ████ scam ████ ████ all the time it always says spam risk spam risk and it's like I get every

3:26 different variation of all the hustles you pick it up I don't even pick them up no no the voicemails I believe I just look at the voicemails and I'm like what the ████ is this but even on text you always got Chinese girls so thirsty oh dude they're so horny though you miss me there's a new one where it goes hey I don't know why I have your number in my phone book like how do I know you like that's a new one or one was like you want to get breakfast question mark and I was like whoa I always right back at the Middle Eastern uh terrorist yeah what do you say let me see no I always I don't know if it saved it but Ryan what do you do what do you do when someone texts you and they ask you to give you a picture give my credit card info that's smart you know you'll send a picture of me and bring it on yeah usually I usually send a picture of Nick and I just say how's it going this is me this is me sleeping and it kind of gets

4:18 it kind of makes it obvious that there's no way that's a real ████ guy what do you mean so they just stop bothering oh they're like oh this guy's messing around God I love no person who looks like this this is a meme the way that these guys go from being like hello I am with Bank of America and then I'm like I'm like and I'm like you're not with Bank of America dude I think America good boys don't fly off the handles start calling me gay bloody ████ you bloody so this is a text that I got from like a random number so the random number goes how are you Bart replies with praise Allah very good brother how are you and then and then later in the day it took him ████ six hours to come up with a response to to swipe through all the different uh

5:08 responses and have he goes how are you my friend have you paid attention to today's encryption Market Muhammad why you talk to me this way like we are strangers [Laughter] say to this guy that's so good it's ████ why you talk to me like this when we are best buddy Muhammad you came over it was just such a thin line for these guys like between like their decorum on the line and then just complete vitriol so anger if they if you pick up a phone call and it's an actual person on there you'll just starts being like ████ you I hate you yeah yeah and they'll flip out every time it makes me laugh really hard I try to do it at least once a week but yeah I because I just I just like go at

5:59 it immediately I'm like you scamming pieces and ████ and then they're like ████ you you ████ ████ your mother and all this ████ I'm like that's always ████ your mother it's always ████ your mother oh it's always that I'm gay and then they want do you ever say ████ your mother back to them uh I would never be that disrespectful I don't talk about moms nah I keep moms because it must be it must strike a quarter with them because if they're trying to go for blood right away and they use mothers on you then that means like that's their soft spot that's their uh that's their line they go so fast into it like they're just saying he's just saying he's with the Microsoft store like 10 seconds prior and he's screaming his head off of the phone if I want a ████ ████ piece

6:49 of ████ dude I want to do this but I feel like if I were to pick up the phone call I'd I'd stumble over my words and I I would start a lot of delivery yeah it is like a big misconception a lot of people are like oh some some of these guys are just like nice people that are forced into doing this work it's like no to be honest a lot of them are ████ pieces of ████ where they're from too yeah of course and they're ripping off they're ████ so many people that's why they while out like that because now they can ████ talk how they talk normally you know what I mean like probably kills them that they have to be polite ████ your mother I'm telling you a little hot tip just go right into them lay it right into them and they leave you alone for a little bit and also too like if you record it you might be able to have a really cool YouTube channel that's true it is funny how people like out here think that like all of India ████ does that it's like India hates this ████ as much as we do they are also getting scams

7:39 I don't think a local call is cheaper that's why they have to move the buildings because they know that Indian authorities are going to come yeah and they come in hard they they get pissed like that hacker that did that he was watching the webcam when the uh when he swatted them or when he called the the authorities and then they he was watching The Raid go down damn yeah they're quick man there's one guy he um he even traced it back to the States because he was like how are they so you in the states they they have you like send like wads of cash in a box to like a P.O box so he just waited at the PO box and then some Indian dude came to pick it up and not they're not always Indian too they could be like at a guy at an Airbnb just waiting and then so they employed they Outsourcing different steps yeah and then some guy

8:30 would just be there to pick up a package and then he'll he would he wouldn't open up the package he's just waiting at the Airbnb to to pretend like uh like FedEx is here okay and then he gets it and then he goes and then he sends it to India wow yeah you know what's really funny too is that like if you go to any American Business where an Indian guy works he definitely has an Indian name but then these guys all ████ American names with the Microsoft store I am Timmy I'm like you're not ████ like why can't you just have an Indian name yeah yeah it's normal to have an idiot yeah they think they're getting away with it yeah yeah but like he's buying it he's buying it has Indian names but like as if it's more trustworthy that he is named Timothy yeah yeah and you go oh

9:21 wow so I oh Microsoft money I need to pay them with gift cards right like he's Timmy and then we got a guy here who sounds wider than us named ritesh yeah yeah dude it's like sure he's he's the voice that can for God's sakes named dude my mom's neighbor she got she got popped with the um like a water bill one where it's like you have to pay your water bill but you have to go to like a Bitcoin station to pay for it and and she and then and bro this is WP is like you got to pay with Bitcoin they're like we're gonna ████ cut off your water if you don't do this and she this lady's like talking to my mom like can you take me can you take me I have to go and my mom was like please don't do this I don't think this is like legit and then she takes her the whole time and the lady their neighbor tells my mom

10:11 like shut up you don't know what you're talking about as you've paid like like a thousand dollars to this Bitcoin my grandpa almost got scammed like the scam was about how I was in like jail or prison or something and that I needed money for bail and um you know that you know I reached out and I couldn't get a hold of them and needed to send money and I mean he was smart enough to call my mom and be like where is she the funny things he didn't question you being in jail no but it was like straight up that was more plausible than anything he was like Colleen's in jail but like she doesn't need bails yeah this is not the first time yeah she's gonna be okay yeah she deserves this one yeah how much does bail was too much I had a buddy reach out to me on Facebook and I hadn't talked to the guy in like a decade and he's like hey Steve I'm like trapped in ████ South Korea or whatever and like I my money's not
