mistaken identify
Rinoa received texts prior to stream. “One more thing I have to tell you. Don’t answer any calls whom you don’t know. Once I will call you. Jessica, are you there? I’m trying to call you. Jessica, call me once you’re able to connect.”
Rinoa didn’t recognize the number, so things got a bit confusing when she called. Rinoa starts out thinking that the call is connected to Jack (Jake) Hollow, who she spoke with on June 7. But the scammer mentions Chris Brown, which means that he is affiliated with the call from June 6 with John Hendricks & Jack Davis & Chris Brown & Alex & Steven Williams & Daniel Parker. We didn’t know for sure who he was connected with until well into the conversation, so there was a lot of guesswork early on.
Timer should have started at 2hr 52min 11sec but started at 1hr 10min 55sec
Jessica & Margaret vs Jason Snyder – (said that he works with Chris Brown) & unnamed Coworker
AnyDesk was used.
Jessica: “Would you update me on what’s going on?”
Jason: “I believe your computer is still locked up. Am I right?”
Jessica: “Yeah, it is locked up. Crazy how that happens. Huh?”
Jason says he will call her back because he’s in a meeting right now.
Jessica: “Would you like me to take my business elsewhere?”
Jessica: “I have a concern. I have an issue here. Somebody locked my computer and I can’t access it. How am I supposed to play solitaire?”
Jason says that the password to unlock Jessica’s computer is 786786. But the password doesn’t work. This is the computer that Jessica threw in the dustbin.
Jessica: “I had somebody else fix the computer and I guess they locked the computer.”
Jason: “When they called you? When they called you, did you provide any cards to them?”
Jessica: “It must have been last night. They must have locked the computer.”
Jason: “OK. Did they ask you any about gift cards?”
Jessica: “No, no, no, no. I’m sending some money in the mail to them to unlock my computer.”
Jason: “Sorry?”
Jessica: “I’m sending money in the mail.”
This conversation now creates a connection between this call and the one from yesterday with Peter Smith & Michael Brown (Mr. Brownstain) & Ryan Wilson.
Jessica: “I packaged a box. My mother’s gonna be sending it off here. She’s got the package. She’s gonna be dropping it off at the post office. It’s $9,600 in a box to get the computer unlocked.”
Jason was not happy that she was sending money to the other “repair” people.
Jason: “If you want to get scammed out of $9,600, then go and do it.”
Jessica told Jason to call her mother and tell her mother to stop the package that she is bringing to the post office.
Jessica: “It’s a bundle package. I’m getting the computer unlocked. They’re installing new RAM in my computer, so I’ll have the highest RAM possible. And it upgrades automatically as new hardware comes out. It’s gonna be top-of-the-line HD graphics or something to that nature. I’ll also get a LifeLock policy where they’ll be monitoring my security and social security number and my IP address in real time. […] I’m getting the new CPU fluid added. It’s a turbo charged internet. So, it’s blazing fast. You know what I mean? So, I’ll be able to surf basically, when I click on Facebook, before I even think of clicking on Facebook, it’ll already be there. They said it’s that fast. It’s just instantaneous. So, I have that coming for me. It’s a bundle package. They’re gonna send me a list of everything. I get like 109 things included in this bundle package. It’s a really, really good deal. There’s gonna be so many graphics and colors, they said there are so many pixels that there will be pixels on top of pixels. Like each pixel will have so many pixels. You know what I mean?”
Jason: “Did they give you your computer password?”
Jessica: “Not yet. It’s only when the payment is complete that they’ll give me my password.”
Jessica: “They said they are master hackers and they can get the password in the blink of an eye.”
We booped so that Jason could call Jessica’s mother.
Jason called back immediately because he wants Jessica to talk to her mother instead of him.
Jessica: “Call her. Tell her, ‘The package for Mr. Skidmark, cancel that.’”
Jason: “I’m not going to call any person from my end. OK?”
Jessica: “This is what I mean. This is what I’m talking about right now. The other people, the people I’m giving $9,600 to, they would have done something. They would have done it. They would have done it.”
Jason: “Sorry?”
Jessica: “They would have done it. They were much more helpful.”
Jessica: “They promised me on their mother they wouldn’t [steal my money]. They swore on it. Who would do such a thing? No thief would lie, not on their mom. No thief would lie on their mom.”
Jessica: “You don’t understand. You don’t understand! When I call my mom, I can’t get off the phone. I’m locked in a conversation. I love talking to her but it never goes anywhere. You call her. You call her. I don’t know. I don’t know. She talks about her knitting a lot. I don’t know what to say. I mean, I’m happy for her but I can’t be in a four-hour conversation. I gotta go to work. I just can’t do it. You do it. You tell her. She just, she talks. I don’t know what to say. She just talks. You gotta call her or I’ll call her in three hours when I have a lunch break. There’s nothing I can do about it right now.”
Jessica: “I’ll call my mom but you owe me. I’m gonna get stuck in a conversation for 4 hours. It’s gonna be, she talks about mittens all the time. Just all the time.”
Jason agrees to add Margaret to the call with Jessica.
Jessica hung up before she could join the call, so Jason had to speak directly with Margaret
Margaret: “Yes, I am the mother of Jessica. Is she in any trouble or something? What’s going on?”
Margaret: “Why am I canceling it? Did she do something wrong again? You know, there was that time that she got in trouble for jaywalking across the street. They busted her. I had to spend a lot of money on lawyers to keep her out of the jail. They were trying to put her behind the bars.”
Margaret: “Cancel the officer? I don’t know that I can do that.”
Margaret [overtalking]: “Who are you? Are you a friend of Jessica? Who are you? I don’t know who you are. Are you that boy she met in the tapdancing class? I’m following your instructions. I’m just wondering if you were that boy that she met in the tapping class. Tap, tap, tap, you remember? You did the dance in front of the kitchen and you knocked over my trashcan and made a mess. That was you, right?”
Margaret: “I’m not naked, honey.”
Margaret: “Would it be possible if you came by the house and did your little tap, tap, tappy dance? It was very entertaining. Tap, tap, tap. Trashcan goes bye-bye. You knocked over the rubbish.”
Jason apparently decided to focus the scam on Margaret instead of worrying about Jessica’s cash.
Margaret: “Did you know I took up a knitting class? No, yes, I opened up the Google Chrome. I just was letting you know that I took up a knitting class. I just wanted to let you know that I took up a knitting class. It’s a knitting class. It’s not a windows anything. You can’t knit a window, I don’t think. I mean, I guess you could knit a blanket for the window. You know what I mean?
Rinoa was stalling for time to change up the VM. He got frustrated and booped. Adjusted timer is 3hr 42min 52sec.
Rinoa: “Adam West was the best Batman.”
The return of Brownstain
Margaret vs Michael Brown (Brownstain / Skidmark) & Kevin
Margaret called Brownstain (Skidmark) but a coworker answered, pretending to be Skidmark. We later learned that this was Kevin.
Timer started at 3hr 29min 24sec
Margaret didn’t send the parcel because she’s going to send a parcel to her son as well, so she was waiting until both parcels were ready to ship..
Margaret: “Is this Mr. Skidmark?”
Kevin: “Yes.”
Margaret [overtalking]: “I wanted to let you know, since we’re basically family. Right? Now, I was gonna send my son a package with a teddy bear in it. You know? Give him the package with a teddy bear. He’s got a new baby on the way and I’m so happy. They announced it a couple weeks ago on Facebook and I saw it and I gave it a little thumbs-up on the picture there. I’m so happy. I’m so happy they’re having a baby. They’ve been together for so long. They’ve been little lovebirds since, yeah, for so long, little lovebugs. And then finally, they’re having the baby. I’ve been telling them since the day they met they’re gonna, you need to have grandchildren. I want them. On the first day I met her, I said, when are the kids coming? And she was like, ‘We’ve only been dating a couple of weeks.’ Finally, ten years later, they’re finally having the kid.”
Margaret: “Why are you in traffic? That’s dangerous.”
Margaret: “Could you beep your horn?”
Kevin said he’d call us back in 5 minutes. Kevin booped. 3hr 35min 41sec
The real Skidmark called. He didn’t know about anything that was just said in the last phone call by “him.” He explained that it was his boss that called just a few minutes before.
Margaret: “Who’s your boss? I just spoke to you, Mr. Skidmark. I don’t understand. Who are you now? I don’t remember a Mr. Michael Brown. I remember talking to a Mr. Skidmark yesterday. I don’t know who you are.”
Margaret: “That’s what I was just telling you. I don’t know how you forgot so soon.”
Margaret didn’t send the package because we had to send a package to her son, who is expecting a baby, so she waited to send both packages at the same time.
Skidmark told Margaret to ship the package immediately and gave her a new shipping address.
Margaret: “I can tell them there’s a large amount of money tucked in a bible in that box.”
Skidmark: “Are you fucking joking with me or what?”
Skidmark: “Because you are fucking dumb. That’s why you don’t understand anything.”
Skidmark said he would call us back in 10 minutes. He booped.
3hr 42min 52sec

Pat-a-cake
Sherry vs Patrick Patway (Patrick Patrick / Pattie-cake) & Steven – Amazon
Order ID number 93046517
iPhone purchase confirmed and shipped out shortly
Refund amount $799.98 using TeamViewer.
Sherry: “What’s your last name, Patrick? Do you have a last name? I met somebody that was named Patrick that never had a last name. It was kinda odd but I thought it was kinda cool at the same time. He only had one first name.”
Sherry: “I ain’t placed that order. No, I ain’t placed that order. Why do you think I placed that order? Why would I call you and tell you I got an order that I need canceling and then tell you I didn’t place that order? Why would I do that? I don’t understand why somebody would call a department, waste their time and call them and say, ‘Hey look, I’ve got an order,’ and they don’t really got an order. Of course, I didn’t place that order. Dangnabbit, why would I call you and tell you I’ve got an order here that was placed that I didn’t order and I wanted to cancel? I don’t understand why you even would think that. Why would that even cross your mind?”
Sherry: “You seem like you have simple thoughts. I don’t understand, though. I don’t understand.”
Rinoa: “You do realize that he’s getting steamrolled. Right?”
Sherry: “Well, I’ve shared my account information with a couple people. Like, I got a roommate and stuff and I’ve given them the password, you know, to my Amazon account. But they have their own setup. It all comes to the same address but they’ve got their own card linked on there. And I’ve never had any trouble like this. Plus, they’re not even the whatchamacallits, the bdabdabdabdabda the iPhone, they’re not even an iPhone user. They’re more of an Android user. So I don’t even understand. I did share my information with my ex, though. That might be a problem but I don’t think, it was a bad breakup. It wasn’t pretty. You know what I mean? I made a game out of it. You know? There was like a treasure hunt but it was kinda like, I tried to make it a little romantic so they didn’t think it was comin’. And the next thing, you know, they found, like I carved it on a tree. It said, ‘I think we should see other people.’ I don’t think they liked that idea. It kinda set them up in the wrong direction. You know what I mean?”
Sherry: “I haven’t used the restroom today at all.”
Sherry: “Do you understand what I’m trying to say here?
Patrick: “Yes, ma’am. I totally understand.”
He didn’t understand.
Transferred to technical dept, Steve Edward.
Steve: “You’re pretty fast, ma’am. Just listen to me. OK?”
Sherry: “Absolutely. I can listen to you. I’m actually really good about listening.”
Sherry: “The weekend’s comin’ fast. You ain’t got nothin’ planned? How you gonna be doin’ that? You’re gonna be, you’re gonna end up comin’ up with nothin’. You’re gonna be like, I wanna go outside the city but you got nothin’ planned. You’re gonna end up standin’ there with your hands in your pocket, starin’ at the floor and you’re gonna be like, ‘Oh my god, the time’s goin’ by,’ and the weekend’s gonna be there and it’s gonna be Monday and you’re gonna be at work and you’re gonna be like I didn’t do anything for the weekend. You had nothin’ planned.”
Sherry: “F as in physics.”
Steve got connected to the computer. He booped but stayed on the computer. 23min 18sec
We called Steve Edward back.
He put up the work securely screen.
Sherry: “What’s this control, alt, the C-T-R-L-A-L-T-D-E-L? What’s all that?”
Steve: “Yeah, it’s restarting, ma’am. So, it’s telling you about the keys. Do not press anything on your keyboard. OK? Because I am working on it.”
Sherry: “Oh. I pressed the keys.”
He said he’d call us back within 48 hours. Told us to get the bubblegum.
He bailed and booped. 26min 51sec
It must have been because Sherry tried to make the work securely screen go away.
Then, he connected back to TeamViewer but disconnected again then connected again.
He deleted Sherry’s Batman wallpaper photo and her download folder.
We called back but they wouldn’t answer.
Brownstain’s supervisor
Kevin called. He is Skidmark’s (Brownstain) supervisor.
He thought Skidmark gave us the second address but he didn’t yet. Kevin booped. 3hr 43min 58sec
Kevin texted an address in Texas. Name: Seymour.
We called Kevin back.
Margaret: “Kevin, the big cheese. Right?”
Kevin says Margaret must send the package right now, UPS, same day.
Margaret: “Mr. Kevin, do you have a baby?”
Kevin asked a favor.
He wants a photo of the package.
Margaret said we’d text him the photo and tracking number later.
Margaret started to ramble about babies.
Kevin booped.

I need a loan
E-loan scam
Email reads: “Congratulations! This is in reference to your personal loan application, which you have been successfully approved upon for a $10,000 loan and it is ready to be sent. So, please call on our direct line number. They will assist you on your future proceedings.”
We got James’ voicemail. Jessica left a message saying that she needs a loan for a new car and she can’t get one from her bank.
David Miller or David Mellor?
Jessica Wilson vs David Miller (Mellor) – Amazon
Order number AM997523712 for an iPhone

AnyDesk was used.
Password Jessica chose for AnyDesk: fatbunnybum13
Boring password that David insisted on using: amazon123
He said he’d call us back from a better line. Too much static and breaking up.
We booped even though he said to wait. 3min 12sec
David called back.
Jessica: “You want me to slap on that big red button?”
Call got disconnected. 9min 37sec
David called back.
Jessica: “I thought you sat on your phone.”
David: “You are so smart.”
The Amazon account is shared with Jessica’s roommate, Nancy.
David wanted to do a Zelle transfer.
Jessica: “Is this typical?”
David: “No, it’s not difficult.”
David: “You just need to open your Chase account.”
Jessica: “I can’t. It says, ‘Please wait. My computer is being updated. I’ve never seen that before in my life.”
Jessica: “Are you saying my computer is in forever updating mode? It doesn’t even have a percentage.”
Jessica tried to give David all the information he needs to send her money via Zelle, but he insisted that she needed to open her Chase account.
Email address is now fatbunnybum69@gmail.com.
Jessica: “Are you stupid? I’m telling you how to get the refund.”
David: “Click on the green box that says, ‘request elevation.’”
Jessica: “What does it do? What does ‘request elevation’ do?”
David: “It will help me give you the refund.”
David wants Jessica to click on this box because it will enable him to hide her screen from her.
Jessica: “I don’t know what that does and I’d rather not click on it.”
Jessica: “What do you mean you’re giving me a refund on my bank account? How does that work? How does that work, David?”
David: “Just sit back and relax.”
Jessica [overtalking]: “I’m not relaxed. OK? I’m not gonna sit back and relax.”
Jessica: “Yeah, show me how you’re giving me the refund because it doesn’t look like it. Everything you’ve done so far does not look like you’re giving me a refund. It looks like you’re trying to take money from me.”
David: “You are speaking with Amazon. We are the world’s number one ecommerce website. Our CEO is the world’s richest man. Do you really think we want to take your money?”
Jessica: “It looks like you’re trying to take my money.”
Jessica [overtalking]: “I think we’re done here. I think we’re done. I think we’re done here.”
Jessica: “You’re an idiot.”
David: “Ma’am, do you really want your money? Yes or no?”
Jessica: “I don’t want my money. I don’t want my money. Keep it. I’ll take the product. Send it to me. I don’t care. I’m not, we’re not doing this anymore. I’m done. I’m done. I’m shutting down the computer. We’re done. I’m outta here. Keep it. Just keep it. Keep the money.”
We bailed and booped.
