My absolute favorite is the one where to redeem their money from the transfer agency, the scammers have to navigate through a labyrinthine phone tree maze that never leads anywhere. He releases them to wander their way through it and just keeps statistics on how long they spend.

He ran into someone who had dealt with it before, and started talking about transferring money through this system and the guy started protesting and sounded so defeated. "Oh, it's so easy," he says, and the guy sounds just purely defeated and horrified as he says "No, no ma'am, I do not think it is easy..."
