No and if your in the U.K. they make you buy 4 boxes minimum at a total of $46.99 including postage (that’s about £40.50) With a box of kellogs cornflakes cereal in the U.K. costing £2 for a 500g box that’s like about 20 boxes for the same price Seems Pleasant Green is trying to scam us with his cereal
As a Nigerian, no, you're not mean to Nigerians. We're sick and tired of scammers and their BS here. When the rest of us try to get honest work, this "scammer" reputation puts a lot of people off and they don't want to work with us anymore. With all my heart, I support what you do. Keep exposing them.
I thought u where going to say as a Nigerian.. I can't say I do this it's horrible.. But we have been trying to reach u about your cars extended warranty
As a Nigerian, I endorse this. It's weary and disturbing. These guys want no honest living. I don't know why anyone would be so invested in stealing people's fortune or wealth.
Magic spoon is expensive, tastes bad, and not as “healthy” as advertised. Edit: I’m not trying to shame Pleasantgreen, I would do it too for a check. But the ads are slightly misleading
Exposing a scammer is exposing a scsmmer, it's really not your problem if 95% of them come from one place, that's on the scammer. Just keep doing what your doing, ignore the naysayers.
It’s not really “exposing and embarrassing” him if he blurs out his face and all his information. I would honestly love to see these people really get exposed, for REAL.
Anyone saying you're being mean to these scammers can get stuffed. A very good friend I've known for almost thirty years now, had his identity stolen about fifteen years back. The scammers racked up over $100,000 in fraudulent loans, money laundering, theft, and a number of other things, and my friend was left holding the bag. Even now, fifteen years later, he STILL has to deal with scammers calling him at all hours of the day, trying to get money and information out of him. It got so bad that two scammers with NIGERIAN phone numbers showed up ON HIS DOORSTEP trying to extort money out of him. To hell with anyone that thinks these scammers deserve to be treated nicely. They are breaking laws, stealing money, and literally ruining peoples lives. F*ck scammers.
It's not the scammer's fault, it's the poor countries they are living in's fault. Sometimes they have no other choice, try to look from a scammer's point of view. A very poor person that maybe has a family that is starving, trying to make enough money so they won't die, the living conditions they endure is something you can't even imagine. The only way you can get the full picture is by seeing things from different perspectives.
@@lonelylama5222 I'm sorry, but are you trying to defend scammers who are literally stealing money from other people? Many of whom turn around and then brag about it on social media by posting pictures of their ill gotten gains bought with stolen money? Are you unfamiliar with the kind of destruction and devastation they leave in their wake from the people who are fooled by this? Don't you DARE try to say that living in a poor country is any kind of excuse for taking advantage of vulnerable people. Living in a poor country is no excuse for this kind of CRIMINAL behavior. "It's okay to steal from someone else and maybe make them starve to death just so i don't starve to death." That's some great logic you're using there. Get the hell out of here with that bullshit.
@@PleasantGreen Thanks for the awesome content, I like the way you tell stories. Recently got a random whatsapp that can make money fast with Forex and Bitcoin. I proceeded to tell them I use to make some money with bitcoin. When asked why I don't do it anymore I said my friend Ben Dover Scammed me. Best of all is she heard of you. Maybe do a video of whatsapp scamming in South Africa?
I love how a lot of people are dogging on him for his magic spoon ad. Don’t blame them. The cereal has an awful, dry taste to them and they cost way too much.
That’s usually how it is. They want more money because it’s healthy cereal, and then they just never get the same taste as added sugar cereals lol. I’d rather get kashi or the Kellogg cereal at a mart for a fraction of the price lmao
How can people complain about "being mean" to scammers? Why would anyone care about their feelings? They're human garbage. Keep doing what you're doing, I'm a huge fan. :-)
Because ultimately these videos, while amusing, do nothing to really address the root issue which is that the poverty and conditions of living in the countries that do these are so bad that they are forced to take these jobs, some of them not even smart enough to realize that they are scamming people but fooled into believing they are actually providing useful services to people with damaged machines. It's one thing to say you would never be a scammer, its another thing to not take the job if your family is actually starving. Yes they are doing bad things, and they are getting what's coming to them. It's understandable that seeing revenge on them would be relieving. However it can be easy to forget that we are all human beings at the end of the day, in a lot of cases just doing our best to provide for our families.
I'm able to kindly tell who a scammer is each and every time, due to the words they choose to use, kindly, each and every time. It puts some smile into my face all the times.
Really? People comment about how you are mean to these scammers? I think you are too easy on them. Screw them all. Do your worst. Hell I’d send money to see that.
Hey Pleasant Green! NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology actually no longer recommends that people frequently change passwords. As this typically makes it so that weaker passwords are stored. Instead, they suggest having strong passwords, using a password manager to generate random passwords, and of course a different password on each site.
Hey pleasant green! A lot of text message scammers seem to watch your videos, as now they are scared to click links. This just shows how much you are impacting the scammers, keep on doing what you do!
Happened to me last night, I got hit up by the Facebook Marketplace/Google Voice scam and tried to send them a link instead of the 6 digit code. They wouldn't click it no matter how many links/explanations I gave
Stumbled across your channel, and my wife and I are fans of yours!! For the record, this world needs more people like you, Ben Dover!! Watching your videos, we've been very aware of scammers and the simple games they play. Thank you for making time to create these fantastic videos and fanz 4 life!!
Thank you so much for doing this, I'm Nigerian and it pisses me off when they do this. I started a cybersecurity Bootcamp this year to help catch this criminal. Can't wait to have the amount of skillset to be able to expose this jobless youth. Thanks again
0:16 DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH MAGIC SPOON IF YOUR IN THE U.K. they make you buy 4 boxes minimum at a total of $46.99 including postage (that’s about £40.50) With a box of kellogs cornflakes cereal in the U.K. costing £2 for a 500g box that’s like about 20 boxes for the same price Looks like Ben Dover is trying to scam us with his cereal
@@Tim-007 yea even their single serve ( pack of 8 ) is like $19/£16.38 that’s like £2.47 per portion and that’s not including postage on top It’s a total SCAM
@@heddlestenphotography3189 yea but he is pushing it on nearly every videos and when his ads are like 1.5 mins in an 8 min video, that says he is trying to push it to everyone
Magic spoon contains crickets its misleading the public by hiding this using another name that is not commonly known. People whom are allergic to shell fish can also have a reaction to crickets. Please warn your viewers.
another great video! thank you, Pleasant Green! my gf and I recently watched your live stream at the anti-scam call center, and it's awesome to see that you, scammer payback, Jim Browning, and others were helping victims fight the war on scamming! hats off to you and your heroic team, ridding the world of scammers! not all superheros wear capes 😉 greetings from Canada
I'm pretty sure they sell the claim code at the bottom of the eGift card email, and that's why he wasn't worried that you were sending him an eGift card
I don't know how Pleasant Green is being mean to scammers in Nigeria. They deserve what comes to them. I think it is pretty funny how he deals with scammers, it is more entertaining then watching tv.
PG highlighted in the video Nigerians graphic designers who are honest and do good work. So, exposing one bad character while crediting good guys is an excellent example. 👍
Magic spoon = rich ppl cereal. It might be the healthiest and kids might like it, but their website has it at $9.75 / box, 4 boxes required. “Regular” cereal is 1/2 or less and you can just buy one.
Different countries seem to specialize in different kinds of scams. For instance Kitboga and Jim Browning (both on RU-vid) deal mostly with Indian call center scammers.
I had exactly this happen with a doggy waste pickup service I deal with, their email got compromised and was in back and forth convo with the scammer... but obviously with this and many other great scambait channels I follow, it was an easy conversation to thwart. Keep it up!
Another great job messing around with those scum bag scammers and of course teasing them about the money that the scum bags are never going to get. 🤡😂🤣💯
I had the same thing happen when my online E-mail account got hacked. Fortunately I caught it within 20 minutes, but it still took a good 6 -8 hrs to get everything squared away. The Script the hacker used was almost identical!
@@ilsevanderbij7179 Ya Know im not a Scambaiter YET but i can see in my mind you giaying word sandwitch with this Guy and im internally Laughing I wish to be Like Oue friend Ben here and Pierogi Trilogy Media, Kitboga, and Rinoa Poison and IRLRosie Some really Great talent thosr lads and Lasses are OH Your one of em Great shit i bet it was
Nigeria does have a horrible reputation for scammers and it's not undeserved however the editor for my book is also from Nigeria and she's done an amazing job at reasonable rates.
Hi, I'm your big fan here. While it's not kind of related to your video, I just want to say thank you for your amazing works. Last week someone from Grindr pretended to be a sugar daddy and ask me to be a sugar baby. We have a conversation until he said he would sent me $2500 but with a twist, he said that his bank needed $40 Steam gift card to process the transaction. I was very suspicious since the bank would never ask my Steam gift card so I decide to grab his IP like you did in your video, surprisingly they were in Nigeria. I exposed them and also reported them to Grindr mods. Again, thank you for your amazing videos, it's actually a lesson for me to beware of those scams
Since watching scam bait channels I have realized how many scams there actually are everywhere. I have ben getting so many messages from those extremely hot doctors who work in third world country’s or they work in the army or something and then they go on on how sad and lonely they are and stuff even saying he loves me within the first 30 min talking( I knew it was fake but I was bored so I just played along😂) and then I say how sad and broke I am and then they suddenly disappear 😂
Since watching your channel I've been using grabify to catch so called guys that want to send money to girls. Once they ask for a picture of account information I send them the link. So far all of them have been from Nigeria and when I say this they stop talking or block me...lol
I'm nigerian and anyone who commits fraudulent activities should be called out and rightly so. Its just so painful for some of us who engage in legal activities because they give the whole nation a bad reputation. I can even share my own personal experience. After spending months studying and passing exams in Salesforce and AWS, I have been applying to entry level jobs on sites like Upwork and Freelance to no avail. I totally understand that entry level jobs are hard to come by but it breaks my heart when the few opportunites have tags like "candidates from countries like Nigeria" aren't welcome. So yeah, go after every scumbag who steals from innocent people but never forget, we are NOT all like that. Rant over. Thanks.
A lot of Uber drivers in my area are Nigerian and I tell them "your cousin sent me an email the other day" and most of them get a kick out of it. Others don't get the joke. But it's all in good fun. I also ask them about the Chinese back home and they say "how do you know about that?" and we start having good talks
Ummm it's not our problem, they are racist for no reason I doubt even if no one in Nigeria scams they would still behave like that, we already started the scamming we are known for it, can't stop now can we because if we did stop we'd still get called scammers.
Had the exact same thing happen to a family member. Remember to check the email rules on your email - whoever hacked my family member's email set for every inbound email to be forwarded to a third party, and then sent to Trash (this is so the scammer can intercept every inbound email, but to the user it just looks like there are none).
This was a bit different because the scammer was using a different email address than the person they were pretending to be. So probably they did steal the password and get into the account, but then all they did after that was grab the contacts.
Thank you for doing this man because just today I got scammed and honestly it was pretty clever i had just ordered a covid test from usps before they stopped doing free ones and I got this text message saying I put in my address wrong and me not thinking I gave them my card and address again... big mistake they took out 50 dollars and I couldn't even get it back! But yeah. I hope those scammer get jail time or something
Hi! I’ve asked some other scambaiters but no one has replied to my question. Maybe you can help? My husband and I get a ton of phishing texts. We block them and have an app on our phones, but they just get new numbers and continue. Any tips to get them to go away besides just changing numbers? 😩
@@LordmonkeyTRM they can raise their prices as much as they want to be able to afford sponsoring, doesnt change our budget or willingness to spend a sane amount of money on cereal.
People comment that YOU are mean to these SOB's! You are kind, willing to help them, & just call them out on their crap. Keep up the great work Pleasant bc you're definitely pleasant to me! All my respect...❤️ from Staten Island, NY USA.
I get friend requests from people I already on in my friends list. I usually send a message to the real friend first to let them know they may have been hacked. The last one let me know that it was him as he opened a second account. I did check first to make sure it was his original count before sending the info. I also got a request one time from my sister who, of course, was already on my list of friends. But this time I accepted the request and waited. Sure enough there was a request for money. My engaging with this one did not last long as I asked if the person if she wanted me to feed her dogs when she left for vacation (my sister was not going on vacation nor does she have dogs). I never got a response from the scammer so that was the end of that except I did unfriend after that (no response) response. After that I reported the fake account. Did not do the things that you do as I did not care where he or she was from but was just checking to see if I was correct that it was a stolen account. Thank you for showing us this type of scam.
Nigerians who scam are mean to us so what in the world are they talking about. Anyone scamming instead of trying to do something real with your life is just twisted.
Absolutely love your channel and I look forward to each post. I genuinely smile when I see a new post from you, and the amazing work you do, and the collaboration with the scammer community (10/10 mate) An observation, and NOT a criticism..... Do we have to watch 20% of you posts based on selling breakfast cereal ? Forgive my innocence, but I'm new to RU-vid. An 'Influencer' sells stuff yes ? Like a celebrity endorsing make up or beer or an airline ? Or a footballer during the World Cup drinking coke (other brands available) It's all very interesting to a newbie on RU-vid that you would sell internet security one week and then breakfast cereal the next. Mind you, my friend on Facebook used to sell bath bombs, scented candles on that app however during covid she became an expert on global viruses. Funny world...... Funny world Anyway Love you spam baiting mate please keep them coming
I think the real scam here is the Magic Spoon cereal. I never tried it, but after seeing some comments about people hating the cereal, I don't think it's worth buying it.
As always, great video Green! I love your channel and have been watching you for about two months now. Your videos are really fun and have helped me recognize more scams. thanks for what you and all the scambaiters do!
I love grabify. U can have a lot of fun when u grab their IP Address e.g. waste their time. I don't think Ben is being mean to nigerian scammers. He's just giving scammers a taste of their own medicine.
Not only no one is more “kindly” than scammers, there is also no one more “kindly” than Indians! Why do they use this word so much and think everyone, who speaks English, does that?
Ugh. Magic Spoon is not all what it’s cracked up to be. Has junky ingredients and highly inflammatory oils. Sorry PG but just an FYI before you stand behind a product on your channel that is not only sub par but very costly.
It’s a complete SCAM if your in the U.K. as they make you buy 4 boxes minimum at a total of $46.99 including postage (that’s about £40.50) With a box of kellogs cornflakes cereal in the U.K. costing £2 for a 500g box that’s like about 20 boxes for the same price Seems Pleasant Green is trying to scam us with his cereal
@@CricketEngland Give him some credit. He is not trying to scam us. Affordability is subjective. That said, if you cant afford it, don't buy it. Ben is an affiliate and he gets a little bit of money for anyone who uses his link to buy it. And that's perfectly ok. This is what America is about. :-)
Wasting a scammer's time is actually heroic, i personally don't have that much patience i almost immediately give them shit but mr hugh jass here is saving people
A conversation from decades ago: Me: (feeding the pets) I wish there was a form of food we could just pour out of a bag, into a trough, and eat. Feeding the dog is so much easier. Bf: What do you think cereal is?
I've watched enough PG that when he said "And guess where the IP was located?" and I immediately out loud did his nigerian song he plays right on cue 😂😂😂😂
