I made a safe FB GROUP: facebook.com/groups/prettyingreen

@Planty-Mandy 23 дня назад

One thing that I HATE is these people make me suspicious of anyone who types with bad English. Lots of local people have other first languages and I don’t want to treat them any differently, but it’s such a huge red flag for recognizing scammers. 😢

@jackiewhitney5031 22 дня назад

It's a red flag of a scammer like everything else...most telemarketers who call as well.

@SAA-hr9gr 22 дня назад

I literally don't trust ANYONE from the French speaking part of Switzerland because of this same reason too. I have been scammed once and come across so many that all have their location set to the French speaking part. So as soon as it says that area, I ignore the post.

@ohemmygee216 23 дня назад

First of all- thank you for the censor bar on the male nipples. 10/10 for editing! Yes to your fb group! The big ones give me the icks these days- all you have to do is post an ISO and you get dozens of scammers showing up. Ive gotten really lucky so far but definitely changing how I buy in groups the more I pay attention to the PISS group! The Alocasia USA BST group is my favorite one at the moment- the admins actually go out of their way to post about current scam trends when they arise. Also I had no idea ppl bought animals in FB groups 😂😭😬 and why do they all look like extras from Tiger King?

@woowooone 23 дня назад

How scary! I joined a group for people who want to adopt chichuahuas. I found the price quoted to be to be too good to be true. My brain said "yeah, but they are in West Virginia so maybe the price there is different". But I really think it's a scam group

@carolstuff 23 дня назад

I really appreciate all the research you do for the plant community Chris; thanks!

@dafnesaenz1617 19 дней назад

Holy crap… I love your plants and shop but wow.. I NEED more of your videos! They are so well made and informative because of your long background in plants, sales and trends in the plant community. I really hope you keep doing this and you explode on RU-vid. Best channel ever 💯

@prettyingreen 18 дней назад

Damn. This makes my day!! Thank you for the kind words 😊

@AlexandriaFryer 22 дня назад

Now I understand why I wasn’t accepted into a lot of groups when I first made my Facebook account (it’s about a year old or less now), I was never interested in the app but my hobbies called for it so I made an account (but with a fake name and a profile picture of one of my pets since I know Facebook isn’t exactly safe). I joined a bunch of groups but a lot of them didn’t accept me, either for no reason or my account age but I couldn’t understand why because I had answered the questions to let you in. But now I get it, my account probably looked hella suspicious, brand new, plausibly fake name, profile picture not including my face and nothing to prove i wasn’t a scammer like a friends list or at the very least, a bio. I wasn’t aware scamming was such a big thing since I’m too suspicious of people to even entertain the idea of buying anything from there

@sunflowerhillhomesteadaust7887 21 день назад

One of those Cameroon outfits stole money from me a couple of years ago when I was going through a horrifically bad time. They are RUTHLESS. Thanks for these sorts of exposes, anything that helps combat these arseholes is welcome!

@joyfulgirlrecovery7526 20 дней назад

Omg seeing a popular FB group scammer that has gotten me in the last 2 years on this video was WILD!!! Beltine!!!

@daytona1295 20 дней назад

My best advice to avoid these scams. Stick to local groups and local pickups they might not have as many options, but the chances of getting are a lot less likely scammed. Also I'd love to be a part of any group you may create. Keep up the great work love your videos.

@shannonjohnson891 23 дня назад

Omg, Beltine Bright scammed me! 2 monsteras. It was 155. At least it wasn’t more. I tried to get my money back from the bank. But I charged it. 😔

@joyfulgirlrecovery7526 20 дней назад

They scammed me too!

@annafink2245 23 дня назад

Always so stoked when you post a new video. And this is horrifying - it's almost like you can only buy from trusted sellers/breeders at this point, which screws the individual small seller. With all the time and effort they put into this, they could literally have a real job. I stick with Anthurium Addicts.

@sarahg2665 23 дня назад

I shop exclusively through PPUSA (Plant Purge USA) and if I’m buying from a new seller I cross reference their name in Plant Inspectors Scammer Shoutout (PISS - lol) and Plant Purge USA Plant Patrol. If nothing comes up for their name under those groups, I try to use PayPal or Venmo gifts and services (not friends and family) that way I can get my money back if it turns out to be a scam.

@prettyingreen 18 дней назад

Thank you for the words! Yes -- Anthurium Addicts is a GREAT group!!

@hefoxed 23 дня назад

Generative AI is making spotting the scammers harder. The AI detection tools aren't reliable. Most of the probably-scam posts I've seen lately don't re-use existing photos but are probably ai-generated, and smart enough to not have hands or the more obvious tells.

@Plantlady77 23 дня назад

Absolutely YES to the FB group!! I’d join right now! I’ve bought from you several times now and I know I for SURE you ain’t gonna let no funny business go on! 😆🤣

@1faithchick7 23 дня назад

Thank you for all the hard work on this. Scams are a big fear of mine. Yes to your FB group!

@iamclaudiaq 20 дней назад

Thank you for including that phone call 😂 In all seriousness, thank you for bringing awareness to this!!!

@wandashaw3551 23 дня назад

Omg. These people are destined for plants, kittens, and teacup pig hell. And yes, I'm down for our own FB page. Please keep these informative videos coming. ❤

@lorenzopowell9137 9 дней назад

You always put out great content. Which are extremely helpful and informative. You help keep us updated with the plant world.... Great job!

@kindallnight1615 23 дня назад

Yes of course we want a plant group

@noora7773 21 день назад

I'm so glad I'm not on Facebook. I don't like to get scammed. I'd only buy or sell plants when meeting face to face or buying from a real online plant shop. I generally only would buy with money I could lose without losing my sleep, because you could get a bad looking plant or have pests with it... I appreciate if sellers sell that exact plant which they have a picture of and not just photograph the nicest specimen and then send the ugly ones to their customers!

@GreenWitch1 21 день назад

I’m no longer on Facebook, but I have planty friends that are in several plant groups. I’ll share this video with them. Good work!!

@CassyAthena 21 день назад

@elizabethlacey7708 23 дня назад

Absolutely down for a plant group. Love your channel and love your content!!!!!! Have a great weekend!!! Can't wait for your next video!!!

@braukorpshomebrew6039 20 дней назад

I only join local groups where you have to meet the person. The amount of scammers and lack of trust in larger groups deter me.

@l.cussenot3633 22 дня назад

Thank you so much to raise the awareness, I had no clue scam FB groups could exist and become so wide. I will be super careful and will know what to check as of now.

@dillonkentworth6718 12 дней назад

"Hello please. Join my rare plant group 'Monstera #1 Lucky Happiness Friendship'." Hahaha, these group names are like something from Family Guy or South Park.

@CraigSakada 23 дня назад

Oh yes. These are not amateurs at all. They’re smart conmen. I’ve been scammed a few times. I don’t buy anything off Facebook anymore.

I sometimes write to the people in Swiss German (easy give away but obviously not 100% that you won't discard foreigners that don't speak the languahe) and always try and pick and pay in person.

Genuinely not sure if you're being facetious/sarcastic or not. The emoji is throwin' me off. I'm gonna give ya the benefit of the doubt and assume you are.
