I am addicted to this stuff. I have always believed in addictions. I have only two: nicotine and caffeine. Now anti-spam pranks. That's all I've been watching most of the day. It's 11:30 and my back hurts.
These two videos are most true to my fantasy of a boomerang weapon that melts or explodes their phones or computers. In this one my anti-scam Heroes identify a call center located in the Scam Call Worldwide Centre, Sector Five in Kolkata (Calcutta). These scammers are located in the Godrej Genesis building there. First, a video by the Captain Marvel of anti-scammers, "Jim Browning" lays out how the anti-scammers identified this building, this floor of the building, these companies, who operate under shell names, and even the owners,
Here's Jim's vid.
Jim, who is Scottish if I know my accents, has a few big advantages here. The scammers floor, and the outside entrance, are all under building CCTV surveillance. Second, Jim has the help of Mark Rober, another anti-scammer. Mark is in charge of pranks. And Jim, through Mark, enlists some Indian nationals to infiltrate the building and plant:
1) live mice who are hidden inside some scammer contraption that when opened releases the rodents.
2) cockroaches, likewise hidden inside something and released.
Needless to say mice running around on the floor of the call center and cockroaches running around are not good for the efficient operation of scams.
3) skunk fart spray, which also inhibits concentration on scamming. I used to own my own very realistic, audible fart machine which I would tape under chairs in my office and remotely activate when, for instance, a new female attorney came to me for consultation on a legal matter.
4) Finally, Glitter Bombs. A person steals a planted package off a doorstep or in anti-scamming the package is delivered to the scammers floor in the Godrej Genesis building and when opened shrieks a siren like noise, includes the useful detail of a "10, 9, 8, 7..." countdown and then explodes glitter all over the scammer.
Here are those two vids but a word of review: These are not as compactly edited as those of Scammer Payback, they are too long in the build-up when we want to get to the fart spray and Glitter Bombs. Still, very, very enjoyable.
This is the companion to Jim's.
And this is another of Mark's based on the theft of a package off his own doorstep.
And now, unless yinz want me to have to seek traction I am going horizontal and 😴.
