This week on The Perfect Scam

I try to just change my voice and do different accents and things just to sort of switch it up or, you know, it started out of almost necessity because if I called the same place a few times with my voice, they would know who I was and they'd just hang up, right? Well, if I called back and

I tried to talk with a little bit different accent or whatever, now they might put up with me.

And then I realized, oh, I can, if I can make my voice sound old, maybe I could pitch shifted a little bit higher and now I, you know, now I sound

turns the tables on criminals.

He wastes their time by pretending to believe their lies.

He's helped return money and hijacked accounts to victims.

And he's taught a lot of viewers how online scams really work.
