Dashcam Scam From Instagram Ad - Update (Still A Scam) 

Glad life is better :) Strange to see you 1 hour ago on a 2018 video but perhaps a good chance to tell you - I am now going through a truly shit time, and having found your channel about a week ago, you have brought me pleasure and inspiration as I've binged your videos! All the best to you :) x

I noticed it right away and immediately understood that it was probably a point in time that was just a low period. Good on you for reflecting on it and updating your viewers :)

Get well soon!

14 hours ago.. on 2018 video? Uh And wish you’ll be ok!

Huh?

Hehe. Yeah - here I go again, getting scammed on purpose!

@@AtomicShrimp did they refund this one?

I literally went to the comments to quote this...

@@AtomicShrimp Just another day for Atomic Shrimp

1,000th like

Lmao

Underrated comment

Lol

Oh yeah yeah

Le Bro I s e e y o u a r e a m a n o f c u l t u r e a s w e l l

Sharp eyes. Now you point it out it is obvious but from the small bit it shows I did not notice

I still use Widows 2k3 LOL. Looks alot like XP, just as stable as one can get out of a winderz platform.

@@PatrickBaptist are you talking about server 2003? if so, i would ditch that it is on a network that is touching the internet. No longer supported by microsoft and open to all sorts of exploits.

It looks like something they tell to tourists in a 3rd world country😂

Oh, I actually didn't notice that!

I mean, it was only a few pounds of disposable income, not a kidney

@@AtomicShrimp pffft, not even willing to give up a kidney for your craft

Have you watched good mythical morning ever they litteraly eat bull testicles and say "were eating this so you dont have to" lmao

@@brannongillespie8722 I haven't tbh but they are honourable too

Eddie Miller, well said, I agree!

Words of wisdom

Sets real shit

If it's on wish, it's a scam

@@martynanstis1620 Yeah but at least on wish you're paying fair market prices for cheap crap. If I pay $10 for a TV I'm not upset when it turns out to be junk. Kind of expected that.

Not always.

How do you know which one is the original seller?

@@mrsomebody5087 Of course the one that says "100% Original"

In many cases you will have to pass then. Not every halfway reputable seller takes his own pictures of every item.

@@ulfmusskacken That's the lazy seller's loss, not mine

I think they use the same inage because they are dropshipping, if thats the case you can usually find the best price at AliExpress, sometimes even the original product.

Meh, that was merly a dizzel.

One of those is not like another

In the UK, the right side is the wrong side, it's the left side that's the right side.

@Liam fairly certain this is a joke

@@wolfdragon4176 yeah it’s def a joke. Those people aren’t so bright

@@HO-bndk it's a joke you nitwit

@Liam oi mate Issa joke you bugar

20181110 Could "Brushing" be describing a way of brushing the patina of corruption off what they are really up to? This isn't the first video I've seen where someone was trying to understand why they were sent items they didn't order. Amazon.com is polluted with mis labeled and horribly inaccurately constructed postings. I saw one where a replacement part (handlebars and top tube with accessories pre-installed) is advertised as being an entire bicycle. It's listed as a "model choice" in a list of 5 models two of which are out of stock and others that look too good to be true claiming $500-$700 quality at a sub $150 price.

I got free stuff because someone brushed me, im not complaining 😂

@thememer plays At this point so many ‘trusted’ companies have sold/leaked our details already its really not too much of a downside 😂

@@twkgrim What is the personal info that they gather, exactly? I mean, like an address, a phone number and so on? I'm genuinely interested

Frank Roberts lol

Tee hee

But hEs In EnGlAnD

I’ve always wondered, if you go from like the US to the UK or vice versa, is it easy to forget which side of the road to drive on? Since it kinda is instinct to just know which side.

@@Ilikeminecraft57 I can actually answer that one from experience. When I became old enough to drive, I was the son of a US Air Force officer, living in Japan. Japan, like Great Britain, drives on the wrong... err, left... side of the road. I spent nearly two years blissfully driving on the left side, until my family was transferred back stateside, exactly fifty years ago tomorrow. All I can say is that the Summer of 1970 was very 'interesting'. For the first few weeks I constantly found myself drifting across the dividing line and turning into oncoming traffic at intersections. It culminated with me finding myself going up the wrong side of Interstate 65 in Mobile, Alabama one night. Luckily, I just pulled over and waited for a cop to escort me to the next exit. He wasn't nasty about it at all. He told me that it happens a lot more often than you'd think, mostly with drivers from the English Commonwealth countries. He made a suggestion that I followed up on, find myself a good driving school and unlearn the past 18 months. I did, and had no issues after that.

blasphemy

There is some factory somewhere shitting these things out at a rate of 100 every second

@@Bugsfuckingbunny lel you're funny

@@becauseimapotato7599 no also did you fly around my room before you came in

@@Bugsfuckingbunny Well I am a potato so I have that power

Totally agree. A underrated but very wholesome and high-effort channel with a dedicated and knowledgable creator.

just want to make sure the playlist is correct hehe

True Words of wisdom

Sorry about that - really fidgety hands. Won't happen again. Probably

...which he only does about one and a half times....but people really seem to be bent about it.

@@maxwellbrand Six times... weird that you missed the other about five and a half times.

@@curiousabout1 that would be another four and a half times, but I know math is hard.

@@maxwellbrand i said about lol, as did you. However, 1 and 1/2 is vastly dif than 6. Yeah? Yeah, counting is super hard. But what's really super weird is that you keep saying this in response to other ppl too. Very strange behavior indeed.

Yeah right? I would have expected some kind of literal child's toy or a plain replacement rearview mirror.

@@jonashelmke2564 Or a cardboard cutout of the mirror with it's image printed on.

For sure, I mean is awful and probably would break in 3 days but I know some people that would pay 10 bucks for that and feel ok with what they got

Exactly. They are not supposed to run on battery at all, in fact it's probably a capacitor in there.

you hit it on your first sentence. it's likely a capacitor and not a battery at all. this way they are less likely to fail due to heat issues sitting in the sun all day.

@Yvan Chu Well why do actual research on a product when negativity and blind cynicism gets more views?

When he plugged it in, it didn't work

@@roberthajovsky2064 sometimes you are lucky and get a bad device.

Judging by the audio, this rear camera is fitted to an ice cream van, in orbit

@@AtomicShrimp i must have missed an SpaceX launch then. musk never disappoints

I'd gladly sign up to a mailing list for something like this. I've ordered tons of crap from China and haven't had this happen yet -- but I'd love getting free stuff, even if it's useless, just for the thrill of getting to open surprise packages.

I would too no matter what the item is, as long it's free.

Luke Watson it doesn't work like that, brushing is done just to Polish up the image of a site /seller by using legit details. If it was the case of what you claim that would be phishing and totally different. Yes anyone can get your PayPal address but the pass is a different matter.

@@Hinoserm Subscribe to a box service

@@Hinoserm SURPRISE! Anthrax! :D

I think you're right, however that fact is overshadowed by the thing being generally a piece of junk

You could always install it upside down and get the correct camera angle. Just watch the replay on your phone upside down.

@@AtomicShrimp for 32 pound its quite good actually.

Perhaps so, however it is very different from the marketed product

Yes, it's a for a left-hand drive. A right-hand drive version would have the camera on the right. However this whitelabled product doesn't have a right-hand driver version.

Yeah, fidgety hands. Sorry about that. It was really bad

Christopher Leamons unboxing sickness is real

"father away" yeah same.

haha i got so damn irritated myself.. im like OPEN THE DAMN BOX ALREADY!! JUST DO SOMETHING!!

LMFAOOOOO JIGGLE JIGGLE JIGGLE

same as when we watch Americans drive haha i live in the UK too

Eric Scott mate the USA drives on the wrong side of the road not the UK

It's not the wrong side

I knew there'd be a "wrong side" comment lmao

I drive in the middle so no wrong side.. but I still get highbeam from both side. WHY?

Weird. Thanks for spotting that - I have fixed it

I myself never do it. Takes up too much time and kinda awkward having to stare yourself in the mirror for so long.

@@MrSharkBait561 humorous! would you like to play minecraft bedrock with me?!

I love your pfp, my friend has it on a sticker

Did you get your money back?

My face is not a secret

@@AtomicShrimp it should be 😂

Francisco Sousa dick head

@@FranciscoSousa-mj3bv damn 😂😂😂

@@FranciscoSousa-mj3bv You're a prick I love it. Genuinely fucking made me laugh

Carlo Bravo same but items came from amazon while i never purchased anything from them before

At least you know where the items came from, I still don't know where my items came from, 🤔

I got a sweater my size this way. I was confused but its one of my favorite sweaters

Asjad Ali 😂😂😂😂😂

HAHAHAHA

Yeah, I didn't notice how fidgety my hands were until the edit

@@AtomicShrimp get a fidget cube it's great

I should make one. Or maybe when I am just talking on a video, I should let my hands do some origami or something. That might be cool

@@AtomicShrimp anything that you can fidget with can really useful because I do the same thing

I doodle in meetings at work. Drives my boss crazy, but it genuinely helps me focus

Thank you - I usually just play it by ear, but if you want some masterclasses in scambaiting, check out kitboga and Jim Browming

@@AtomicShrimp okay, thanks, I'll check it out

@@AtomicShrimp I love Jim Browning, I found you while watching him!

@@AnnoyingAsianWitch me too

@@AtomicShrimp Yes. Kitboga is terrific at phone scam baiting. Clever and funny.

Same in Australia! I forgot a few times!!!

No shit

Literally made want me want to do the same Take out the small box and put it back, take out, put back

@@cheezorger Interesting name.

@@jd_the_cat cheers mate

The power supply didn't work, so I had no way to do that

@9600GTMAN It worked with a spare cable when connected to USB power, but I did not have a long enough spare cable to use it in the car. Sending it back to China to get a refund is often nearly as expensive as the price of the item - this is part of what makes the scam effective for the scammers.

Hi there! Hope you have a great day!

@@AtomicShrimp thank you

Facebook advertisements elected a president. You overestimate people.

"deserve"

@Turbo Charged No shit sherlock. Why do you guys keep bringing her up?

I bought shoes from JustFab from an instagram ad. Wasn't scammed, though I agree their pricing, and site using policies can be a bit gimmicky.

I bought a parka from a JCrew ad on IG for 400 bucks and it was the best 400 bucks I've spent on a Parka

wish is actually safe. wish is a middle man for sellers. if you get scammed WISH will refund your money and TAKE the money from the sellers account or whatever it is they do nothing to do with you. IE I trust wish. not that I won't get bullcrap but wish will protect you and refund your money. at least in my experience.

dont try to contact the seller. a scammer wont reply. contact wish through the app. I have gotten a few scummy orders and they were very fast to make it right with a full refund. @@sabssabs

If you want to see a scam site, go to Geek. 100% of the items I received were not as advertised.
