I Got a Scammer to Fall for His Own Trick! 

1st class deconstruction of this scam!

The way you describe this it's like a bedtime story for adults, thanks for exposing them 😁

I like how he said he wasn't able to talk well due to his terrible accident in the snow, yet he is speaking clear and concise sentences when his scam is in jeopardy.

Mike & Ben’s new found friendship is awesome!

As a realtor, I appreciate you shedding light on this specific scam! I’m reporting posts daily on marketplace and smaller county-specific groups that are exactly like the first one you showed. I’m also about 90% positive that I was in direct contact with “Du Rick” at one point as well. That name is extremely familiar.

I’ve watched other scam baiters on here, but your videos are my absolute favorite! Not only do you expose these people but you also open your mind and heart to help them. You’re a good man and we are lucky to have you and your content! 🙌

Gotta “love” the sarcasm in his voice. He doesn’t sound surprised about what happens next it’s kinda like “we’re back at it again” Thanks for everything you do Ben!!❤

every scam thats been sent to me (hundreds) has had spelling mistakes or grammar problems - they are so easy to pick

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My good friend lost her sister to scammers. She had severe PTSD from being in the Gulf War (she was a surgeon) and had mental heath issues as a result. They stole all of her children's college savings and when she realized it was a scam, she killed herself. TRAGIC, TRAGIC, TRAGIC. You have no idea the positive impact you are making by exposing these killers!

There's that "kindly" again....

I genuinly love how pleasant green goes along with the scammers’ spelling misstakes

Scamming the scammers. This video has so much entertainment value besides being a valuable lesson on how to avoid being scammed. Honestly, I think this would be a great half hour television series. I'd watch it.

Congratulations on the Advertising Manager job!

All these fake names are hilarious 😂 next fake name should be Max E. Pad

I was recommended your channel on my home page last night and I gotta say I haven't invested this much time into watching RU-vid videos in a very, very long time. I started watching last night around 9pm and ended up binge watching until 5am lmao. You're doing an amazing job, I know more people than I care to admit who have fallen for so many of these scams you speak of. My cousin almost fell for the fake cheque scam just a few months ago. Sorry for the long comment, I just had to say thank you for all the hard work and what I'm sure are long hours that you put in dealing with these clowns. Amazing work, much love from Canada 🙏🤙🇨🇦

I love how he describes the scam, goes through the details and tips on how to spot.

This is a dangerous one, I think alot of people could potentially fall for something like this.

I been through a "rental scam" a few years ago. But it was a bit different. When they sent me an obviously fake ID / passport and gave me a story of why they are out of state, my gut started warning me. I had a feeling of too good to be true. There and then, decided to block him and not go through with it.

Thanks for posting this. I worked as a leasing agent for homes 10 years ago and this is what we ran into a lot. Sometimes these scammers would say they are doctors who left the country on a mission trip, were in an accident and seeking medical help somewhere else, they need someone to just take care of their house temporarily, etc. They often would have an excuse of why they are no longer using a realtor and sometimes will tell people to ignore the lock box on the door or just cut it off. I have even ran into somebody who sent a large security deposit and first months rent to a scammer and we’re living in one of our houses that we were getting ready to do construction on. We couldn’t get their money back, but we gave them some money to help them out. These guys are jerks and will always try and make it quick buck. I always tell renters to never give money to anyone they have not met in person. There are also ways to check to make sure who is actually the owner of the home.

I love how easy you explain things. It sure makes things easier for me to explain to family who I am trying to teach on keeping themselves safe, how to not fall for scams, and also why it is important to use a different password everywhere and not just simple words but really sentences that will only make sense to them.

This was great! The tangled web you made was awesome! Why is Mike Rafone such a G? 😂😂😂

I am going to buy myself something nice😂😂 I couldn't stop laughing

It’s really sad. It’s already incredibly hard finding a place to rent. Having to worry about scams like this is so vile

Scammer tracking is my favorite. I love it when the scammers are caught and jailed.

Really like the way this guy does his videos and even after catching scammers he goes on to HELP them. I lived in africa for a while and when someone is to scam another person that action is very unforgivable so it really shows the kind heart "Ben" has

You can tell Du Rick was so shocked that he was able to talk normally

I remember receiving an email about a job right after I finished college. The prospective “employers” asked me to print and fill a form, which now that i think about it, looked just like the form you printed in this video 😂.. I really thought it was real… thank God I was broke then, and didn’t have the $300 fee they asked for. 😅

Thank God for you and Parogie!!! Love both you guys channel's and awesome that you have both been able to work in his scamer hq! Keep up the good fight to both you awesome amazing bad ass dudes! You guys have both taught me alot and to be very careful and Cautious when dealing with questionable stuff online and the image search reverse has been a life saver as well.

I've been watching Pleasant Green for awhile and this has to be one of my favorites. The way he played both parts and revealed it at the end was hilarious!!

If you make your resume public on websites like Careerbuilder or Monster, these scammers are the only people you will hear from. You will not get contacted by legit employers, only idiot scammers pushing two types of scams: the ones in this video that involve money laundering OR pyramid scheme type scams involving insurance or some other kind of rip off product. Great job, Ben!! I found this video thoroughly entertaining and educational, and I hope those who are job searching right now are aware of how these scams work so they don't fall for them. God bless!

Dude that Aura plug was so smooth…. You tied it in so smooth it took me a second to realize it was an ad

So much detail and entertaining, this is awesome! Thanks for exposing these people!

I'm not even done with the video yet, and I'm gasping for air laughing. 😂

I really like your editing style. it has a lot of character. I dont know how you keep up making such great videos so often. also, you are so close to 1M subscribers! I cant wait.

We have so much fun watching your videos!! Looking forward to The People's Call Center this summer!! Can't wait to see all the shanigans there!! Thank you for all ya do! The short and entertaining videos that you and Deyo do are perfect for us to show some of our "older"(than me) friends and neighbors. Keep up the great work! 😊

This episode was hilarious. Love how you ended with Ben and Mike partying with the money 😂😂😂

Love when you can change the script on scammers and have them fall for their own scam. You rule

Thank you for doing this. I'm a property Manager and have had several people call to check on the units being available after they were scammed on Facebook Marketplace. Luckily the ones I have talked to did thier homework before they paid.

I absolutely love your channel keeping us informed all while showing us as you do. Keep up the great hard honest work.

The "Mike Rafone" PFP is amazing LOL!!

This is one of your best videos, could not stop laughing at the end when you said Bend Over and Mike went partying and spent all the money😂

“I get you arrested” absolutely got me 😂😂😂😂

Great video. These scams are starting to get scary. Keep up the great work.

I thought he couldn’t talk due to his accident 😅😅.

I just came out to realise your videos through Facebook and i can confirm you are doing great work. Scammers should be exposed completely plus their contacts.

all i gotta say this video is amazing the ammount of editing and comdey Pleasant Green puts into it is just amazing its halirous how these scammers will react keep up the good work, and keep the scammers away! love the work you do!

My friend TY 4 sharing , OMG this was a learning experience cuz these scammers are good but u are 5 steps ahead of them. U rock my friend, wow EPIC

Wow, brilliant job Ben!! Thanks for all you do. I look forward to some more great collabs in 2023! Sending love to you and your amazing family! Thanks for a great 2022!

I love how you ""reads"" the info exactly as it is so poorly written..you provide excellent info along with laughs. Thank you!!

Love how you nail these scammers.

You’re awesome! I love these stories of sticking it to these crooks.

That's why I'm always looking up to your next video, I don't know if I come here to see you baiting scammers or to watch a movie. I'm even eating popcorn 🍿 😅😂😂

Dang, the way you handled the scam is fabulous and very well thought!

That was the best sponsor advertising I’ve ever seen in my life 🤣🤣🤣 I been looking for a password manager to. Thanks Green! 🙏

This video has such good pacing. You really kept things moving quickly, which kept me watching! Good job!

Your characters make me laugh every time. Hugh Jass is my personal favorite 🤣

This was an interesting one! 😂😂 Thanks for the content as always Ben.

I was very naive around 2 years ago when I wanted to lease a house for my family and I unfortunately fell for this scam. Thank you for brining awareness

Great video.. always good for some afternoon entertainment and a good laugh. Happy new year man.

I had the Nigerian music in my head right from the start 😄You are so clever in the way you handle theses scams ,and you always have something to show us that may not be known by a lot of people. All your videos and great without all the yelling and swearing. (I don't mean by you)

I just watched you on a Spotlight (Exposing Worldwide Scammers) episode in Australia tonight and found this video and absolutely love it…definitely subscribing to your channel😁 Thankyou for getting back at these “Scummers” and giving us a laugh too😂 Keep up the great work🙌🏾

Lol @ how Ben Dover made the scammers bend over! Hilarious! 😂

Scams are like a never ending bag of rotten treats, throw one, the next shows up. Nigeria and other countries surely have legal, legit job these scammers could work, even with a low/er income, but they're too lazy to do it. Their excuses for scamming are lame and pathetic. If ill and disabled people can work, so can they. Also shame on the willing mules around the world, greed and money hunger cloud people's minds and hearts. As usual, the scambaiting community doing a service for everyone. Wishing you a Happy New Year, Mr. Ben!

This is better then watching a movie 😂😂😂🤣

You did very well putting all of this together. Great content 👍🏻

Thought his accident left him not being able to speak properly lmOoo😂😂I enjoy watching your videos so much so much thankyou so much for all you do and Ll the time you put into making videos to not only keep us informed but making usme laugh

This just happened to my girlfriends close friend and she lost 5k doing this, it looks real and feels real because everything is done online, but talk to your friends that are moving or close relatives because some people aren’t on RU-vid!!

We need a "kindly" counter

omg thank you so much for providing subtitles when these dudes speak to you

Thank you for doing this! So good!

Every one of your videos is a gem of a story! If you ever bundle them in a book, I'll be first in line to buy it!

Would definitely report Michelle to the authorities. I doubt she will stop now

I can't wait for you to go to the Peoples Call Center!!! I love what you do!!!

First of your videos I've seen. Thanks for educating the public about criminal con techniques. When I was way younger, I ran into my first conman -- con woman, actually. She had a plausible story about immediately needing a significant amount of money in a crisis. Out of compassion I was willing to help her, but she kept adding conditions to giving that help. They escalated to her wanting me to get money and meet her at a semi-secluded place. Alone. Her growing conditions raised my suspicions, and I withdrew my willingness to help. She changed tactics and tried a range of manipulations from promises of sex to threats. I called police instead. A couple years later I saw the same woman on TV. She'd been arrested and was later convicted of multiple murders.

Absolutely hilariously handled, would have loved to be the fly on the wall when they were confronted. 😂

Always know it’s a scam when they say kindly……they always use that word right before they ask the victim to do something for them

I like watching these videos, I might be inspired to start messing around with scammers myself.

This one was absolutely brilliant me and Mike are going to spend it all 😂😂😂😂

I love that you’re scamming the scammers!! Give them a taste of their medicine so richly deserved! 😂

It’s always a great day when Pleasant Green uploads!!!

Pleasant Green; I ❤❤❤ your work… A big wake up for people!

This is the funniest of all I've seen on your channel 😂

This will help many people explain and understand complex concers i had to deal with 20plus years ago and i couldn't be mote appreciative

You are a legend. Keep up the good work 👏

🤔 I thought Du couldn't talk because of the shock in his body from the accident in the snow in Texas

I was this close to falling for this exact scam 8 years ago. Sad to see it’s still going on!

Beautiful work ! Hilarious conclusion !

The is the best transition that I’ve ever seen 4:36

The owners of the house are also victims of this scam, if the house is actually real. I've heard stories of people showing up to vacation rentals, just to see the house is already occupied for months.

Ijust gotta say as a 29 yr old veteran in computer science, you guys rock. Thank you so much for helping these scammed folks keep their hard earned savings. God Bless! Unbelievable verses dude . It doesn't get much better than this, this is as top tier as it gets. Seriously, this is one of the strongest person I've heard in a long ass time. Incredible. *Nova cyber* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing format boss Really appreciate 🙏

I think it would be a good idea to keep in touch with this Michelle lady. Maybe you already are, but I think most of us would be curious to see how that situation started and how it ends up now that you’ve shared this info with her.

The reason you couldn’t post the ad on marketplace is because your account was too new. They make sure your account is at least a couple of weeks old before you can post on marketplace.

This is funny. Thank you for dealing with these scammers

You are an excellent narrator

Oh, what a tangled web we weave, when we choose to scam Ben Dover and Mike Rafone

For me, this is your BEST episode that I have seen yet! COOL, keep up the good work.

thank you for exposing these scumbags

Great video!! You are a good person, doing God's work on the internet. I love your channel because the good guys always win. Peace out.

I'm from Texas, north Texas might get snow but south Texas would not
