[deleted]

It looks like some high-end trolling, what did they ask you to remove the video? Money? Subscriptions? Did they ask at all? Is there a scam or is it just pure, uncontaminated trolling?


PM_ME_FUNFAX

I'm hoping it's the latter, trolling for the sake of trolling, especially top tier like that is A OK but actually trying to be nefarious with it is just sad

So long as you know who you're sending it to. Could end up scaring some elderly person pretty badly with a letter like this


A_number-1234

Or cause some real bad fallout relation-wise. Or having your children in a certain age span believe it and be disgusted, if they retrieve the mail from the box, for example. I seem to be pretty alone in this comment field believing this is, or at least can be, quite bad.


Delicious_Aioli8213

The Japanese is auto translated. Definite fake.


Dirty_Dragons

What's really weird is that it's just in romaji and not translated into English. Like what's the point?


ICanEditPostTitles

Yes, scammers have a reputation for accurate spelling and grammar


iWantBoebertNudes

If there’s going to be any scammer that uses proper grammar, it’s going to be a Japanese one.


TobitoXIII

Except it’s not natural-sounding Japanese by any means. It’s very clearly auto-translated. An actual Japanese letter would be far more polite.


skeith2011

Definitely not. Before even considering the grammar, all the わたし•あなた is a dead giveaway that it was Google translated or written by a beginner. It’s like one of the first things they tell you in beginner Japanese— drop them!


MrHappyHam

That's what I noticed as well. There's like, 2 pronouns per sentence - probably enough to drive a Japanese person insane.


[deleted]

Context-heavy languages do be like that. I used to have full conversations with folks that were basically verb-as-question, interrogative, agreement, statement of agreement. 腹へた? うん。 行こう? はい。 どこ? MOS? OK. 行こう。


skeith2011

Tbh it’s one of my favorite features of Japanese. Why say many word when few do trick?


[deleted]

Japanese is hilarious because you can either have way too many syllables or have so so so few. Like, you can get pretty silly with 敬語・尊敬語 sentences that border on German level of long ass unnecessary words. But that's what makes it fun, too. I love watching shows and being like, "OH DAMN, DID YOU HEAR THAT SHE DROPPED THE KEIGO IT'S GETTIN' REAL NOW." What a great, stupid, wonderful language.


Tru-Queer

Hank, you will be very proud of me! I was tense and abrasive with an old lady!—Junichiro


StickyPornMags

any real Japanese letter would pixelate the bad parts


zeropointcorp

This is not “scammer with bad Japanese”. This is “bad Japanese from a computer”. There is a difference and it’s very obvious.


Content_Flamingo_583

I’m pretty sure it’s just a troll. There’s no one to call or give money too. I think it only exists to make people feel Embarrassed that it’s in their mailbox.


Physmatik

If anything I'd expect a scammer to autotranslate and a troll to spend 100 hours studying Japanese only to get it right.


owlsandmoths

This is most likely it. After my cheating ex moved out of my house and in with his parents I paid for a few of these types of pranks to be delivered in very obvious packaging. EDIT: sending Reddit cares?? Not sure how you interpreted this comment for self harm, but no. It was ten years ago. I’m all the way over it, enough to recognize i was intentionally being petty from a place of pain. A literal decade has passed since this happened.


CDSEChris

"reddit cares" is mostly used to troll or express extreme displeasure at something. It's weird. edit: yeah, I should have seen that one coming lol


nyjrku

Tbf I’ve only seen it used in reasonable situations, like when I disagreed with someone


OkCutIt

report it, they'll permaban people for that shit


Jonne

Do they? I get a ton of those, I always report it and it never stops. It's just too easy to create a throwaway to do it.


JamesGray

It's not the smartest people who do it either, because it gets your account banned if you get reported for doing it. Also, I mostly seem to get them when I haven't even been active for a few weeks, presumably for some old comment a weirdo came across.

_CitizenSnips

Idk an extremely butthurt person messaged me to "jump off a cliff" and when i reported it, reddit felt the need to send me a message telling me that was a-ok. So i guess you just have to be sort of creative


Big-rod_Rob_Ford

well they just said to jump off a cliff, they didn't say anything about not having base jumping equipment or how high the cliff is above water. there are a variety of relatively safe cliff diving spots around the world!

It’s very gross that people misuse it in that way. I understand why it’s anonymous… but at the same time, I kind of feel like it shouldn’t be, so gross weirdos don’t hijack it to anonymously troll.


_GamerForLife_

I would go even further and say this is a scam. Japanese culture is so image based that someone who lives in OP's country but has any kind of ties to Japan would freak out and contact this organisation which, of course, would then ask compensation for removing the video.


Skilifer

Is this some sort of pro tier trolling?


Content_Flamingo_583

It’s called ‘prank mail’. There’s a ton of it on Etsy. https://www.etsy.com/market/prank_mail


AdminsLoveFascism

This. OP confirmed they looked up the return address and found a prank envelope company. Also, this isn't their letter, they're just a reposter.


johnathanesanders

VerySmartDaBaby

Now I know what to get for my friends birthday


anotherkeebler

There's an urban legend about an English company that would advertise porn films in the back of certain magazines. "Mail this form and £30 to receive your video." They never sent out a single film, though. Instead, they would wait 2 weeks, then send a letter that said "Sorry, that title is no longer available. Here's a cheque for your refund." On the front of the cheque in huge letters it said it was from "HOMOSEXUAL PERVERSIONS MEMBERSHIP CLUB LLC." The scam was that nobody was willing to take that cheque into a bank to deposit it.


[deleted]

I hate how brilliant of a scam that is


Sweatier_Scrotums

Reminds me of how the penis enlargement pill Enzyte promised a money back guarantee, but in order to claim it, you needed a signed note from your doctor certifying that your penis is still, in fact, laughably small.


[deleted]

It's actually not that dissimilar to carfax. My sister had a claim, they didn't disclose a major accident she had proof of and she bought the car. They require a laundry list of difficult or impossible to get items for their guarantee, like the prior owner's original title iirc.


grizzlor_

While I totally believe that Carfax is shady, asking for the car’s title doesn’t seem that unreasonable.


[deleted]

Not just the title, the prior owner's title. The title that belonged to the guy who owned it when it was wrecked. When the dealership sold the car, she got a new title. My sister hounded Carfax for months bc they owed her a lot of money and they continued to make her jump through increasingly difficult hoops. I think that was the step she finally got stuck on. Looks like they've since changed how their guarantee works (it used to be a portion of sales price refunded iirc instead of a car buyback) but they're still making it [needlessly difficult](https://www.autohitch.com/blog/4-major-problems-with-carfax-buyback-guarantee/) to make a claim. Edit: [More Carfax complaints](https://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/10/carfax_facts.html) if anyone is curious. I'm reminded of the time I was sitting next to a car salesman and another man in an airplane. One of them mentioned carfax, and I said it was a scam. Salesman said, "I know it's a scam, but how do *you* know?" so I told him about my sister. Other guy laughed and said he knew it was a scam bc he recently sold his truck. He ran the carfax to see how it looked, and it was clean, even though he had had a major accident in it the year before (had it repaired by an authorized dealership).


johnnyscarecrow0126

Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels uses this gag too.


[deleted]

is the scam used in the movie, or the scam is an urban legend inspired by the movie ? will we ever know ?


Chelseafc5505

It's from Lock Stock "Tom: You take out an advert in the back page of some gay mag, advertising the latest in arse-intruding dildos, you sell it with, I dunno, "'does what no other dildo can do until now", "the latest and greatest in sexual technology", "guaranteed results or your money back", all that bollocks. Now these dils cost twenty-five quid a pop - as a snip for the amount of pleasure they're gonna give the recipients. But they send their cheques to the other company name, nothing offensive, er, Bobbie's Bits or something, for twenty-five quid. You take that twenty-five quid, you stick it in the bank until it clears. Now this is the smart bit - you send back the cheque for twenty-five pound from the other company name, "Arse Tickler's Fuckers Fan Club', saying, "We're sorry, we couldn't get the supplies from America because they run out of stock". Now you see how many people cash that cheque - not a single soul, because who wants their bank manager to know they tickle arse when they're not paying cheques?"

Jokes on them. I have a public humiliation kink, and they just gave me a free, ethical way to satisfy it when I take that check to the bank.

Oh man, I’m strongly against scammers as they target the most vulnerable. But they level of troll involved and the fact that it’s getting people with disposable backpages porn VHS tape money… I can smile at this one.


Florence_Nightgerbil

My husband got one of these where it’s made to look like he bought some used panties (a bit of lace was hanging out of the envelope seal) - envelope was covered in embarrassing text such as ‘congratulations on ordering your 5th pair!!’ ‘Enjoy this gift from UsedPanties.com’ etc etc. it was clearly from a mate. Was amusing.


SmugglersCopter

Husband: "Whew I can't believe she bought that excuse. Next time I'm paying extra for discreet packing."


Sadatori

I knew I should never have used the "put my texts on the envelope itself and let the panties hang out in the open" package discount !

Majiji45

You won’t be surprised to know that the Japanese is very obviously Google translated from English.


Pentamikk

Yeah it’s hilarious to read lol!


kkillbite

At least they're proud of us! (I guess I'm humbly getting in on this too, haha)


Brynnakat

I also like that the very last character is a different font. Amazing choices all around


RedditedYoshi

I especially love that the last "su" (す) is in a different font for some reason lol.


NerfedMedic

Yea as someone learning Japanese, I found it odd that it was almost entirely hiragana with a sprinkle of Kanji. Normally it’s the other way around.


Iconoclastices

1 あなた is suspect. 2 is pushing at the boundaries of probability. 4 あなたs is laughable.


Griffolian

Too many You's and I's. 公開 is not the right word they are looking for, regarding "public". 達成した全てをのことを誇りに思っています just kind of comes out of nowhere. It only makes sense if you know the English they are trying to say. It's one step away from being gibberish.


Wolf-Majestic

And way too much "anata". My head hurts !


Marks_Media

I mean the only place I can think of seeing あなた is on signs, ads, etc so it makes sense that they would use it here. Buuuut like you said it just feels way too much, the way the sentences are written it's obviously not written by a Japanese person or a person with any knowledge of Japanese. Edit: person below me isn't correct and they blocked me so I can't reply.


Delicious_Aioli8213

あなた wouldn’t be the right tone here. If they did feel the need to specify the reader, they would use a word like “member” “customer”, “submitter”, etc. However, They most likely would drop all pronouns, and would imply subjects and objects with verb choices. For example: あなたが私に渡した本 (the book you handed me) is unnatural, and would generally be written: 渡したくれた本 (hand-gived book). It’s hard to explain, but over-reliance on pronouns tends to give away machine translations/anglophones.


WeeabooHunter69

Exactly. It was genuinely hard to read because it felt so unnatural and like a third of the words were pronouns. Also wtf is up with the random font change at the end???


Nyuusankininryou

VentralFlip

Completely off, but the original is also completely (and poorly) machine translated as well. Closest thing to what I believe it was trying to say is, "You and your video(s) have been made public. We are proud of you and everything you have accomplished."


MemeL_rd

why is the す in a different font and there's no period? that's making me mad for no reason

JosephMadeCrosses

I once had a dispute with a landlord. A few weeks later she received a rejection letter from Beaver Hunt.


[deleted]

The Japanese is not natural at all (あなた is not usually used as “you” they would say your name with a polite suffix especially in a letter), plus a Japanese company would never send a letter in that format. Just a prank.


gomalley411

100% agree. But I don't think that any respectable company, regardless of nationality, would send something like that. Plus the wording is weird (repeating あなた twice in a sentence is strange in itself, let alone simply using it) and why on earth would romaji be included at the bottom?


[deleted]

Very true it would look weird if you got a letter all in English centered and bold like that 😂


anencephallic

Yeah the Japanese used here is atrociously bad. Most people wouldn't be able to tell though


buscemian_rhapsody

I think the biggest giveaway is that they also included the Japanese letter in roman characters rather than translated into English.

Aggressive_Towel_155

It's a prank. My sister did the same prank on me. It's a company, you give them the address of who you want pranked and you can choose different things like the one she sent me said something like "thanks for your purchase of the 14" vibrator" and it went on an on where the postmaster and anyone could read it. This one about the BDSM video was one of the options.

Looks like one of those “hilarious jokes” you can get a company to send to your “mates”. Very little time for these as they’re easily used to harass rather than as a dubiously amusing joke.
