Honestly I respond and I play their game. It always starts with hi Sarah (whatever name they choose) are we still going out today? To which I respond this isnt Sarah but I'll be ready to go to work. They eventually say sorry I got the wrong person but would you like to be friends? I answer yes, Introduce myself with a backstory (false name, fake pic, fake location, etc). Where I know it's fake is when they want the convo to go to TELEGRAM or similar messaging apps.😂😂
When I video call them, their too busy or they can answer right now 🤣🤣🤣
I honestly say it's fun to run game on them
3:50 funny enough I dated a miss [state] from my state, so at one point you absolutely could’ve convinced me the “prettiest” woman in my area was into me 😂
Crack jokes all you want, as soon as my check clears for the taxes I'll be rich with the Prince of Nigeria
How are you stupid enough to fall for this scam. Come on people no celebrity will message you or fall in love with you. Wake up people!!!!
I got caught in a scam like this because a FRIEND had got hooked by the scammer. And the friend brought me in, and I brought in 2 friends.
It was heart wrenching.
I stopped speaking to my friend
And my 2 friends stopped speaking to me.
😞
0:03 whaaaaaat I thought they are all real but they have 2 pictures on their account and the reverse image search shows some model or b list actor 😮😮😮 damn and I was gonna move and get married to all of them 😂😂😂
I’m currently dating half of Hollywood actresses right now. I know they’re real because they sent me pics and they messaged me first. Boy these actresses sure do need a lot of money all the time. But I’ll do anything my babes.
I met a few of these scammers on dating apps maybe 6 years ago, their pivot to talking about investing wasn’t subtle. They’d continue to steer the conversation towards investing unprompted. When I told them I wasn’t interested they’d stop and later bring it back up again later.
The ad to Coinbase. Embarassing.
Coinbase is a joke to be talking about security 😂. Good no Nigerian this time
Men lmao..
I was talking to Sandra Bullockon line and thought it was a scam but was really her. I helped her out cause her bank was locked.
Idiots 😂
This needs to be another Beekeeper movie.
Laughs in Nigerian Prince 😂😂😂
Had one of these scammers attempt the crypto trading scam on me, it seemed extremely legitimate – my biggest red flag was it just seemed way too easy, so luckily I did my due diligence and found it was a scam, but it is incredibly convincing
Getting scammed into becoming a scammer is quite unfortunate
Your kidding….
“I have a happy thing to share with you” it’s already not legitimate
Don't forget Coinbase used cheap offshore labor that were easily bribed to leak their customer information. But very informative video as well.
Suck for them. I told my gf Scarlett Johansson and she started laughing. We both did.
"…if a random number contacts you, it's probably best to just delete and not respond." But where's the fun in that? I've had 30-minute, even full-hour commutes made much shorter by either scam-baiting the caller or just getting them so pissed off that THEY block ME.
(And scammers, if you see this, no real person sounds like Kevin from The Office or Hank Hill from King of the Hill. I honestly think those two voices work the best because the scammer thinks they're talking to someone stupid.)
18:04 wtf Yakuza in Korea? Ok lady U have zero credibility now
Coinbase does not care they let Goliath funnel millions in retirement funds through their platform. More than 300 m.
Typical suspects 😂
good thing im gay and immune to fake pretty women scam online
Lonely ppl in the United States
so .. back to trying and meet real people locally .. glad the eighties has circled back around
This scam has been around for years .
Ps no famous actors or actresses need anything they are so rich its sickening
These are all Nigeria scamers no general need anything they have everything that they need already they pretend to be famous people and generals
I'm skeptical at first if you reply to one of my comments Spencer. But I fully agree with getting the message out there. Lots of people don't seem to know about reverse image searching etc. Also, how did you get my number? Oh, I missed typed the number I was calling, but can we still be friends?
I guess lonely people are the targets, it's quite sad really.
Here’s how to avoid this type of scam, and this came from my director of security operations: “If she’s a L.A. 9 and you’re a Missouri 7, it’s a scam or a honeypot. You have to know your number, fellas.”
if ANY female messages you out of the blue, she is looking for something and it aint ya dick HAHA
Older white women are the most desperate to give away their life savings. The men they choose as their fake boyfriend always looks like a buff model driving a jet ski in some tropical paradise and the women is like a 70 year old grey haired grandmother who lives in Idaho.
What chaps my crack- is we have the means to know where these fraudsters operate from, down to the very building. AND YET we continue to send them foreign aid, and accept their associates as "students" and "refugees". These associates them roam our country picking up gold bullion from our little old ladies.
Just like in the addiction recovery community, nothing you’ve lost was ever stolen, it was willingly given away. Head on a swivel, people.
How to not get scammed:
1. Don't get thirsty.
2. Go to the strip club.
3. Red light distraction can always fantasize they are your own personal wife.
HOW THE HELL DOES PEOPLE FALL FOR THIS??? THE SECOND MONEY EVEN ENTERS THE CONVERSATION MY SENSES ARE ON HIGH ALERT!! 💀
“I’m in love with you but you gotta send me some money”
instagram is filled with pig butchering scams
My mom fell for one of these. The scammer claimed to be a four star General. Looked him up and there was a whole ass thread on Facebook with hundreds of comments from women who were duped by various scammers using the same name. Hundreds if not thousands of these accounts using the same name and FB doesn’t do anything about it.
I’m curious where the scammers tend to spend their I’ll gotten gains. I highly suspect the majority of this money ends up lost to gambling.
My dad who is 69 yrs old was a victim of the imposters posing as an attractive woman or a well known celebrity woman, which was the case for my dad, they target elderly men and women who is not hip on scams and frauds, please educate your parents and grandparents on this shi. I was so heated when i found out and told the person to never contact my dad again or i'll get the police involved, they haven't reach out since i had to educate my dad on it, luckily they only got 2 xbox cards out of him, thank God they texted him when i was taking a picture for him, who knows how long they would've gotten away with it.
Its not hard to find the scam compounds in Cambodia. There's thousands of people held captive there. From all over. Someone should go free those people and stop the shinnanigans
People are ridiculous.. who gives up money 💰 to a non reputable agency 🤔?!?!
That man really gave them 1 million dollars. That actually was hard to watch.
Man lost a million dollars 😮
For a lot of us, we are just smart enough to see the scam, not because we watched a youtube video. lol
