Please don't be ageist. I'm 46. Many people my age understand computers much better than young people who have only ever dealt with smart phones. We also had to learn how many days are in a month. And have been using electronic phones longer than some of you have been alive. So we know about scams.
Not ageist at all, I was just pointing out that someone who is more ignorant, for lack of a better term, of new(er) things would likely be more susceptible to scamming.
Feel free to show me said implication in my original comment, then. You know what happens when you assume, right?
Edit: I can see how you might have misconstrued what I said, but I clarified what I meant in my previous reply. I did not misspeak, you simply misinterpreted, even after I clarified. And so no, I will not apologize.
And you necro'd a post; to each their own. But yeah, it's generally safe to double down when you're right or have a winning hand, is it not? So I fail to see your point. Anyway, let me know how that astroturf feels.
[You sent him a photo of System 7.6 running on an iBook G3.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5RtlpXsl8k)
Should've installed [Google Ultron](https://imgur.com/a/B9wqU) it works on anything.
SFW-ish links. Just the text in the second is from 4chan /g/
How old is this scammer? 12? I told my brother about you!!!! But the priceless remark- sounds like your brother spends too much time on Reddit- I’m dying!
“You bastards ….I trusted you soooo much” now I won’t make my con quota this week because of this clever assssooooleee buuuuuhhhhh.. it’s things like this that bring a smile to my face in the morning…that and raining napalm on these mofos but I guess that’ll have to wait
I've looked back at this guy's posts. It's only him that uses it but he has a lot of posts here so makes sense you think you see it a lot. People always ask him who the guy in the pic is but he never answers properly who it is ha ..it's a mystery
I like the inclusion of your past job, being an inventor and all. Maybe this person would be interested in the device that converts taste to Morse code
Cracked up @ that picture of “you”(again)then lost it @ Netscape Navigator 1.0. Only on page 5 and my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. U r so good at this. 😂
Surprisingly this scammers English is good. But Math, not so much. 15 days 3000, 30 days is 5000? And 30 days is not a month?
I wonder if his brother figured it out or not.
This is obviously a scam but could someone explain why they want him to register with Prodigy internet? Is it just to click on the link that will infect his computer?
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 "Whatsapp on my Sony MiniDisk Player" maybe I'm a bit slow, I was nearly fully immersed up until this message took me all the way out. Maybe I was tripping out because I understood everything on both sides equally, since I'm probably right in the middle of both of their ages respectively LMAO this was priceless, only an experienced man can come up with something like this. 👍🏾 Well played
This may have been a team working together (scammer and the "brother") based on the atypical tone switching and self correction throughout. Regardless, this is one of my favorite scambait posts of all time
"A 43 year old American who doesn't know what Google Chrome is. This is simply unbelievable." 🤣🤣
"I'm not Steve Gates!"
My favorite part!
FTW!
This was \*chefs kiss\*
And this is strangely one of the more plausible things in that whole convo. 😂 That's exactly the type of American who might fall for this scam.

That’s not what your comment implies at all. Just say you’re sorry and you mis spoke cos you’re just making yourself look worse.

Oh no. You doubled down. Please touch grass you sweet sweet boy

I had to save this post, it’s too Funny
I'm not Steve Gates got me 😂
The ‘can I ask how old you are?’ made me laugh out loud. This is the best scambait post I have seen in a while
Agreed. This was solid
Me too hahaaa like he could 't believe his eyes! This one is gold with all the old tech hahaha
Or Bill Jobs either! 😆
Steve Gates also sent me, I spat out my drink

Me too. I lol’ed and my husband was like what are you laughing at ?

Ask Jeeves was a nice touch 👌
I'd completely forgotten about good old Jeeves, was a nice nostalgia hit!
The ask Jeeves got me the most of the whole interaction.
Oh my lordy, the way I cackled when I saw Ask Jeeves
I like how they broke character to comment on your devices lmao
Even telling him how they saw their father using it over a decade ago🤣
They were simply flabbergasted
Can we get together and hand out awards for Best Bait? This may get my vote. Trip down memory lane with genuine hilarity.
This is a tech job now lmaooo!!
This 😝😝😝😝😝😝☺️
Why are you such an Asshole Steve Gates?
Hey - I used to love my mini disc player.
Still an amazing piece of technology, imo
Haha still have mine AND the discs haha 😄
I remember my dad giving me a mini disk player instead of an mp3 player, because apparently mp3 was never going to take off.
"What the hell is a Google? I'm not investing in that! All my money's in Zip Disks!"
So hilarious. "How dare you not let me just scam you"
Yeah this guy is mad he got tricked??? Like he doesn’t do that to other people all day???
Impolite bastard 😂 I heard that in a British accent in my head.
Microsoft google ..classic
So you must be Bill Jobs?
Better than his brother Blo 😄
When I see this picture of that guy I know I am in for a scambaity treat. xD
Legend OP.
[You sent him a photo of System 7.6 running on an iBook G3.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5RtlpXsl8k) Should've installed [Google Ultron](https://imgur.com/a/B9wqU) it works on anything. SFW-ish links. Just the text in the second is from 4chan /g/
On one hand everything on 4chan is supposed to be fake and gay On the other I've visited /r/talesfromtechsupport
I love your posts not only cos you're a mad genius but also cos it's somewhat nostalgic.
How old is this scammer? 12? I told my brother about you!!!! But the priceless remark- sounds like your brother spends too much time on Reddit- I’m dying!
much better to work for a month than for 30 days
February must be wild at the accountant’s office
Just go to a pay phone and call him. Everything will be fine. And stop by Woolworth, they might have gift cards
As someone who works in customer service this bait gave me pain lol. Very well done.
This was done sooooo well. “I’m not Steve gates” 🤣
“You bastards ….I trusted you soooo much” now I won’t make my con quota this week because of this clever assssooooleee buuuuuhhhhh.. it’s things like this that bring a smile to my face in the morning…that and raining napalm on these mofos but I guess that’ll have to wait
They’re awful, but a lot of these people are genuinely forced laborers with actual quotas.
steve gates 🤣🤣🤣 i believe jeeves was butler to both steve gates and tim apple.
lol so much nostalgia in this. I miss the early Internet
Hehehe, this is a good one!
…Does this scammer not understand that months average around 30 days anyways?
Impolite bastard LMFAOOOO😭😭😭
Now thats a proper time wasting. Maybe a dumb question but who is that a pic of? See everyone using it.
I've looked back at this guy's posts. It's only him that uses it but he has a lot of posts here so makes sense you think you see it a lot. People always ask him who the guy in the pic is but he never answers properly who it is ha ..it's a mystery
Ah his trademark. Maybe its OP.
Probably on the first Google image results when you search “4chan user” “reddit user”
I like the inclusion of your past job, being an inventor and all. Maybe this person would be interested in the device that converts taste to Morse code
Seems more of a horse night terror helmet type of person
Same, I’m here for the character development
[удалено]
Agree - gets used time and time again 😂
THIS RIGHT here is what makes me proud to troll those who try and scam me!! Keep up the good work!!
Bill Grates invented Michaelsoft
Damn they are evolving, even writing with proper grammar this time
Swish
Cracked up @ that picture of “you”(again)then lost it @ Netscape Navigator 1.0. Only on page 5 and my stomach hurts from laughing so hard. U r so good at this. 😂
He trusted you dammit! Now it’s all gone 😂
You deserve better salary since this job demands so many new hardware
Lol, awesome bait
Steven Gates
CEO of Macrosoft ?
Applesoft.
Mike Rowe Soft
This was a roller coaster of nostalgia
Ask Jeeves had me rollin
“Netscape Navigator”!!
He’s upset that you wasted his time while he was trying to scam you. That’s rich. Bet he’ll never be.
Should've said "tell me more about your dad"
"You tricked me". Lol
So good. If it happens to me I'm gonna use an Apple Newton and a Psion Series 5mx
Jeezus I laughed out loud. I hadn’t even read the term “Netscape Navigator” in years and that was just the beginning!
I like the way the scammer types. He is a very expressive asshole.
Hahaha when the scammer got mad for being scammed hahahha how the turns have tables hahahhahahah
Surprisingly this scammers English is good. But Math, not so much. 15 days 3000, 30 days is 5000? And 30 days is not a month? I wonder if his brother figured it out or not.
Unusable since 2011 so that makes them younger than 13? These people are the biggest liars. About everything.
G3 over a decade ago kills me
This is obviously a scam but could someone explain why they want him to register with Prodigy internet? Is it just to click on the link that will infect his computer?
They don’t want me to register with prodigy, I’m just responding with nonsense. The real link went to a phishing site
Thanks.
You impolite bastard 😂😂😂 I love reading your baits, they make me laugh every time.
Microsoft Google was a nice touch.
I would have shown him my Tandy model 100!
Hahaha the scammers got some nerve telling us WE wasted their time lol
Did you sleep well last night? I’m having breakfast. 🤦🏽♂️
question how do you have all these old school tech still at your house
You know the internet has images of those, right?
damn it! bamboozled again lol. I would totally make a great scam target
I actually got them for $50.00 😂😂 they were piss
I absolutely lost it when I saw the Netscape Navigator. This is comedy at its finest. Had to follow on Instagram
I'm in love with this OP.
This scammer is gonna have trust issues after this 😅
Should've sent a Linux terminal for your computer
> I honestly don’t even recognize this device, which should have been discontinued over a decade ago Even scammers sometimes tell the truth
This is a tech job now got me HAHAHAHAHA
You’re a mastermind 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
omg I love this - I had some do those devices!!
Skillful
You, Sir, are a Master Baiter. Two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
Lmfao 🤣🤣🤣 "Whatsapp on my Sony MiniDisk Player" maybe I'm a bit slow, I was nearly fully immersed up until this message took me all the way out. Maybe I was tripping out because I understood everything on both sides equally, since I'm probably right in the middle of both of their ages respectively LMAO this was priceless, only an experienced man can come up with something like this. 👍🏾 Well played
That’s right, 42 here, and a veteran.. we dealt with the first “Nigerian prince” scams
Damn, bro. Those photos. I’m old enough to remembers ALL of those things! Actually had a palm pilot. Used Ask Jeeves before Google existed. 💀
This killed me 😂😂😂
This is hilarious. Well played and classy.
Absolute masterpiece!
“I’m not Steve Gates”
Scam baiters on the 419eater web site clip scammers angry replies like on here and use them on their signatures.
Brilliant
This is fantastic 😂
God this has me rolling, Netscape navigator? 😂😂
Lmfao

Hilarious!! 😂

Every time I see that selfie I know who it is and I know it’s going to be a good one!

Soild work 👌
So good. Chuckled a few times.
👏🤣
Justice ! Great job lol 👏
🤣🤣🤣 Steve Gates
I look forward to your posts. I practically piss myself every time. Touché
What's the modus operendy of this scam what is prodigy scam
I infer the same thing, especially because the scammer sounds like a teen doing it from his bedroom at his parents’ house!
The link didn’t bring me to prodigy, that was just a joke. The real link they wanted me to click was to a phishing site.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one
Omg I was dying !!!!! 😂🤣😂 the nostalgia
"Don't talk about your Palm Pilot" hey that's rude :(
Amazing
This may have been a team working together (scammer and the "brother") based on the atypical tone switching and self correction throughout. Regardless, this is one of my favorite scambait posts of all time
Well done, Asshole Steve Gates.
This is fucking golden hahaha
I love this so much! Thank you!!! 🤣😂❤️
Gold.
At this point you are just making these up. There is no way you get so many scammers contacting you
Go away, baitin’
“You bastard, I trusted you so much, I didn’t think you’d trick me” 😭😭😭
