My son was scammed about 15 years ago. He fell for a story online when he was looking to purchase a used motorcycle. I had a feeling right after it happened but adults don't consult moms. He was given a story about a deceased vet who's wife was selling his beloved motorcycle at a good price just so she didn't have to see it. It was out of state a delivery time and date was arranged after...GET THIS having paid in full over $7,000 by Western Union. I knew he screwed up amd fugured that money he borrowed from his retirement account was forever gone. He contacted the FBI and they have a task force working on this. He was added to a class action lawsuit covering these scans and little by little he received checks as FBI seized assets. He did get it all back eventually.

@Woodstock271 Год назад

@@JB-db4gf, First, understand what the term “defunding the police” actually means. Hint: You won’t find the truth on right-wing propaganda channels. Second, do you really think even the best funded police give a rat’s ass about people in general? Do you think they’d pour resources into stopping scammers when they make a killing on victimizing the public instead? If you got pulled over for forgetting to signal for a turn and you explained to the police that you were on your way to prevent an old lady being scammed and time was of the essence, do you think they’d jump in their cars and help? Or just write you a ticket and call you a liar? Think about that before you think the police are helpful in most situations, and what can be done to change their reputation with the citizenry. There are some exceptionally good cops out there but they are the exception and not the rule.

@vampoftrance Год назад

I have dealt with those they have their own scam going on. They charge me $75 dollars non refundable to do a " background check". They give you a tour, then tell you there's a waiting list. After that collecting $75 all day, they tell the highest price for " the only apartment available" usually tell me only two bedrooms available no cheaper studio. They do it all month every month. I didn't give them the money. I asked to do a background check for free and told the rental office worker that I had so much per month. They used that condescending voice you know what I mean like I don't have credit made me feel like I would not feel at home. So I didn't see the model apartment, I grabbed a free popcorn, protien bar and coffee. My ride was a Mercedes so they probably felt like they were ripping rich people off. That was the second ad I answered. It's a scam. There is no apartment for me or you it's just $75 dollars all day long.

@WeirdVideoGames Год назад

Scams that are "too good to be true" aren't really as effective as scams that play on other emotions such as fear and guilt. Scammers these days don't try to trick you into thinking you have a rare opportunity. They trick you into thinking something terrible will happen or that something did happen and it was your fault, and they're the only person who can help you. Next thing you know you've given them all your money. Hope you and your family stay safe

The leasing office bit is what really ticked me off more than the scam. I get it, I truly do, but for the money we pay these people it never ceases to amaze me how hands off they become regardless of the circumstances. I lived with a violent individual and even after calls to authorities, very little could be done so my only recourse was leave...but they refused. I offered money, I told them I feared for my safety, etc, but they would only evict me or I'd have to magically produce a new tenant. I couldn't kill my credit or else I'd have no where to go. They didn't care one bit and it made me truly feel like a dollar to them instead of a person. What schmucks.

@bassman87 Год назад

These companies intentionally hire people who treat the building and the tenants like it’s their dollar on the line and make it difficult for anyone to get anything they’re entitled to. I’ve had had so many problems with landlords refusing to give services and then had them change their mind later and send the cheapest labourers to meet the bare minimum for quality of services. They even refused to renovate their crumbling underground parking and allowed cars to get damaged by concrete falling from the ceiling for years until the apartment collapsed in Florida. Coincidentally, they’re now scrambling to fix all of the undergrounds in my area and it’s causing a huge nightmare for parking spaces between the four buildings on my side of the road alone. Completely shameless people.

Then they kick you out like you are the problem. When you finally found her at her bank, you understood why she lashed out at you. She was saved by the skin of her teeth and she was scared and angry. It was "shoot the messenger" syndrome. She did not have anyone but you to vent her emotions to. The scammer was not there for her to tell off, so you got yelled at on their behalf. You guys are the only guardian angels these victims have, because the police really can't do anything until a crime has been committed. Once the money has been sent to them, it's gone and there's no getting it back. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for devoting your lives to helping these people. Gods bless you.

Not a tech support one, it was someone who built up trust in a platonic friendship and slowly started asking for money, long story short, one of the pics they sent me (after I had sent money) looked a little too professional so I did a reverse Google Image Search and it turned out this person had been using non-porn pics of a pornstar that they downloaded off Twitter. I managed to send this person over two grand. I make more than that in a month, living in Silicon Valley...but it's the principle of the matter, you know! I was upset, but there was nothing to be done except cut off contact, at that point.

The thing is that many times the account that receive the money is also fraudulent or stolen from someone else - once the money is sent, is really hard to get it back, they instantly get it out elsewhere. They are criminals and they know how to make it harder to track. Bank and police have to do it according to laws, they can't just go online and search for people details like addresses and just rush after them without a mandate. It is much more difficult than it looks like, to prevent crimes from happening we as civilians can also help, they are doing so, we can't always rely on institutions to make things happen - we are part of it.

Since watching these shows I have been made aware of the potential for scammers. I had a call from my bank last week. Call display said unknown number. They wanted to talk about my accounts, and was asking about what kind of accounts, and how much of a balance I have in them. Anyway, the guy had such a strong Indian accent. I don't know if he was from my bank or not. I am in Canada, and yes we do have a lot of immigrants. But his accent scared me that he was a scammer. So I said that I would not deal with him because of his accent, he is likely a scammer, and I will not be scammed. I hung up on him. I was so proud of myself for not falling for a scammer. Now that I think about it, I should have called the bank back to see if he was real or not. But I didn't think about it at the time.

@LiliWhyte Год назад

I'm in Canada too & I know what you mean about the accent. Before, any heavy foreign accent from a local company was a red flag. But now, in my area anyway, a lot of the customer service reps locally, in all areas from banks to fast food are speaking either English or French with a heavy accent. Myself, my cell is my only phone. I'm lucky I have call block feature that I've set to only allow selected people to ring through. All others are sent to voicemail where I can screen the mssgs. If I had a vm msg that said they were my bank, I WOULDN'T call the number they left but instead call my bank directly. Good luck & stay safe!

I got scammed out of 2K during a time I was putting my life back together. I couldn’t afford to lose that kind of money. I had no recourse. These videos and the work your team does makes me happy. Please shut them all down.

This one really got me to tear up. Thank you all for saving these people, and thank you for educating everyone on how deeply people can be affected by this deception.

I am so happy you were able to intervene and prevent Gail from potentially losing a lot of money! One thing that always makes my blood boil is how individuals can be so rude like when the receptionist was saying she was being badgered and nothing she can do. Individuals should be trying to work together to better humanity. If hypothetically she did live there, it would have taken two seconds to look up the apartment and I bet there was some contact information in the system too!

Reminds me of the Bill Murray line: "You could have given us help, but you've given us so much more."

@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley Год назад

As a person in customer service, her rudeness made me want to slap the taste out her mouth. I bet she'd wish for an amazing person like these guys to look after an elderly family member and stop a scam. All she at least had to say was, "I'm truly sorry to hear that but that's not something we can assist with," (even though yes, they could have tried to call her if it was the right location). That rudeness was absolutely unacceptable.

Agreed

@Bonzi_Buddy Год назад

She pretty much openly admitted she didn't want to be bothered by anything.... I hope someone does the same when she's bleeding out at a car accident or other situation where she needs help she'd never give someone else.

@@BewareTheLilyOfTheValley It isn't hard at all to get a name and then say they could relay a message or inform them that there is no resident by that name. That probably violates nothing.

I can't express how much I adore you and the other RU-vidrs just like you (Jim, Trilogy, Kit etc). My mum (64) almost got scammed about a month ago; had I not been introduced to you guys and realised she was getting scammed, things would have gone so very different. Fortunately, I was able to intercept the call and I managed to prevent it, however, she was 100% convinced of them at first

OGM, this is amazing. I always say; "No good deed goes unpunished". I hope this poor woman is able to completely process what an incredible thing you guys have done in her case. I wish you guys much support so you can keep doing what you do, unfortunately, there is an endless supply of victims out there.

@alexfarrell3250 Год назад

That was amazing. Finding out she was local for you and tracking her down to help save her was an insane stroke of luck for both her and you. Usually if you're calling a victim it's as easy as them just hanging up and you can't really do much else but sitting with her face to face in the bank gave you the best possible odds of actually helping her. Can't wait to see the scammer exposed

@nickrobinson5895 Год назад

Tax dollars to some degree should go to this. Any cop that responds to something like this will do nothing. You guys are proactively helping these people. Hats off to you guys, y’all are amazing

@Klonkus Год назад

Cops are there to serve the state, not you or I. Cops are essentially a walking shootout waiting to happen.

@BhappyD Год назад

I agree! Instead of tax dollars going towards pathetic politicians for them to fly on private jets, I would MUCH rather see those tax dollars spent on something like this! It’s incredible how much good they do on a smaller scale, but imagine how much of a difference it could make to have a full task force of 100+ people dedicated to stopping scammers and protecting vulnerable people. Not enough is being done and it’s sickening. Just this past year my grandfather, who lives alone and is in a different state, got scammed out of over $50,000 (which out of shame he didn’t tell anybody until after it happened). He has had to file bankruptcy now. It’s awful what these scammers do to people every single day, destroying lives one by one, not caring about what it does to the people they are hurting. And the fact that nothing can be done about it is just plain wrong on so many levels.

@AverytheCubanAmerican Год назад

Honestly can't fault the lady at the apartment too much, she doesn't know you, three guys show up asking about personal information about what is apparently an old lady. I know you were trying to do good, but she doesn't know that. If you're responsible for the private information of people, like who lives in what building and room etc, you can't be giving that out to anybody with an altruistic story. That's how people get identities stolen and get scammed in the first place. You could feel the emotional reaction through the video. I'm so glad she understood that you guys were helping her and making this video will help others to not have to go through what she went through.
