#1 rule of scamming. Never scam professional scammers (insurance companies)
True. Not worth it. Also this was in taiwan? I had a bit of frostbite driving on -35c on moped (I was 15y and drove 2.5km with headcover and helmet). Does taiwan ever have colder than 0c?
@SamiJuntunen1 He said at night and in areas with mountains which are around its possible, it was poorly thought out though because they can tell a chemical burn like dry ice vs frostbite very easily you don't even need a doctor a nurse can tell.
And make sure it's at least some months between taking out the policy and acting on it.
lmao facts
Unless you can get away with it 🙂↔️.. twice
Imagine getting convinced to split the money for your own legs. If im losing my legs, im not splitting shit
Well, you will be splitting from your legs
Lol actually this
you know what's crazy is that no one, and I mean no one understands how nerve pain works.. If you lose a part of your body that part will hurt forever until the day you d1e
I mean, once it happens it's not like you're going to be able to stand up for yourself.
@@echolow5928 heh
Dude was literally tied down so he couldn't back out...As stupid as this whole thing is, I feel like that should be considered. The other guy is a damn psychopath.
good point. i'm trying to think of a word that's more extreme than what he actually is, but i can't so i'll just say that's bdsm+necrophile behavior. not one or the other, specifically both.
I do not know the laws of their country but ik in the USA they'd probably consider a lot of different things, such as being tied down. Reminds me of how the slender man case went because 1 person planned it and the other did it but they were charged differently according to their part in the event.
Not to mention that the friend had lied that he was threatened by gangs, rather than just in normal debt. So the dude may have only gone along out of fear for the friend's life.
Yeah fr, it's kinda like with the Rotenburg Cannibal where the victim fully consented to being killed and eaten. One has to wonder whether it's possible someone is even fit to consent in situations like these..
My thoughts too, the dude who didnt do anything probably manipulated the other dude. BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY that dude gave up his legs for a mil. They should study his brain if thats the case, if there even is something in there
Not only was this poorly thought out, it had to be horrifically painful to go through as well. Dry ice is so cold it literally BURNS and freezes at the same time. Just a small area of contact hurts like hell. I couldn't imagine letting the entirety of BOTH feet be exposed like that
One time in winter I accidentally sprayed butane all over my hand while trying to refill my blowtorch , that was probably the most painful coldness I’ve ever experienced.
That don’t even begin to compare what happened to this guy , bloody hell

Scams are so common, that people with legitimate injuries have to jump through ridiculous hoops and often times have to sue the insurance company to get what they are entitled to through insurance. Screw these people.
At the end of the day, if they're stealing from the innocents for no purposes and no gains but their own's, they scammed nobody but themselves.
@@ozenthelewdable5427 ?? If they stole from the innocent solely for their own gain, they didn’t scam anyone??
Even worse are people that will drain someone's bank account, and their response is, "The bank will just refund them anyways."
I hate when people act like money is infinite. It really isn't. You're just inspiring policy changes and making it harder for normal people to live.
Makes me feel bad when someone needs an item from a locked case and their only option is to wait 15+ minutes for maybe someone to show up and help.
I mean, you have to sue because the insurance companies just don't want to pay out.
@@ozenthelewdable5427 What are you trying to say?
Some of us are actual amputees and the thought of doing that on-purpose for some "payday" is bizarre. If you succeed, then you live the rest of your life without your limbs & looking over your shoulder, waiting to be caught because you know you broke the law. That kind of money isn't even enough to disappear into a better life & the odds of you getting that "payday" are slim. Insurance companies are notorious for not paying out like they're suppose to & they also investigate claims that they find suspicious with a fine-toothed comb. It took 3 months for a car insurance company to pay out my totaled car payment due to full-coverage. They investigated TWICE before finally releasing a $3000 check. What a weird scam to damage your good health permanently for a POSSIBLE payout. I have no pity for someone who DECIDES to become an amputee for money. That's disgusting & disturbing. Shameful.
A women ran a red light and took off the front of my car, totaled it of course, I had a police report putting her entirely at fault so my insurance company wasn't involved at all. After a week if radio silence and taking either my sister's car or the bus to and from work I had to threaten legal action against her stupid insurers just to get a damn rental to get back and forth to work while they investigated how much they maybe would pay out. They paid pretty quickly after that though
@@christopherjones8448 Car insurance companies never seem to care that you need a vehicle in the meantime! Even your own insurance when it's an accident not involving anyone else.
It wasn't even enough money to get robot legs smh. Like maybe if it was for a billion but one million isn't enough.

As somebody who is currently on worker’s comp for an injury, you get NOTHING for an injury. So if you’re considering faking an injury or staging an injury, actually just don’t. The insurance company actively works to pay you less than you deserve, too. So you have to fight to get a livable salary.
TLDR: Don’t fake it or purposefully get injured for the money. It’ll always be less. Just get a better job.

As a Taiwanese, I have to say despite our health care are pretty good, but even though the dude got the money it won't even be enough to cover all the medical treatment. Also, to get a frostbite in Taiwan during Spring is almost as rare as getting a five star rating from Grodon Ramsay.
Didn't it say the $10,000 got seized?
The guy took pictures to use as blackmail in case his buddy didn't want to pay up. In fraud, just as in finance, you have to cover your bases.

"Insurance companies HATE this one simple trick!"
As a Taiwanese, I’m so glad my country’s finally getting some exposure on Charlie’s channel. But at the same time I feel so ashamed to be from the same country as that idiot who lost both legs for a insurance scam.
This was on Taiwanese news last week and when my friends and I saw it we just couldn’t believe it at first. How could anyone be so incredibly stupid 😅
Note that Taiwan isn’t too far from the equator and we don’t get any snow at sea level. Going to see snow on the mountain is actually considered somewhat of a popular activity for family, friends and couples because it’s rare.
There’s absolutely no way you could get frostbite that bad simply by riding a motorcycle at night. It’s literally a minuscule brain scheme.
Don't worry, individuals don't represent an entire nation!
That's about it, cya

Crazy how I am stronger than 3 kids as a girl 😜
I can’t help feel bad for the guy.
I am currently studying insurance pre licensing, and there are a lot of regulations and laws put into place when you sign with a policy, most of which, protect the customer and some that protect the insurer. Any big claim is looked into by a whole underwriting department, in instances of death the company has a right to know information about an autopsy and if they are alive and get dismembered or an accident happens they have a right to know what happened and conduct their own investigation on the matter if i remember correctly. Example if you take out a life insurance policy for 1 million dollars and you try to commit suicide, your claim will be denied within the first two years of the activation of your policy. There are multiple clauses in the contracts that will attempt to minimize the scamming of the insured and the insurer so in short yes, it is really damn hard to scam insurance companies.
Spongbob: Am I the biggest loser on the beach?!
Chang: No, I am. I gave my legs frostbite to the point of amputation to scam the insurance company. Then I got caught.
He doesn't deserve to be at the beach
When big Lao came round just to put him, Chang turned into a clown
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say these idiots won't be trying that again.

Crazy how I am stronger than 3 kids as a girl 😢
Kinda sad when you look at the greater picture here. These people are struggling for money, they value the money of their limbs
Even a few seconds of contact with dry ice on bare skin is enough to cause serious injury. 10+ hours was total overkill, and definitely torture. Honestly the whole thing reads a bit like coercion/manipulation rather than one man willfully putting himself through something he has to be zip tied into place for so he didn’t bail and losing both of his legs for the sake of .. another man’s debt? Especially suspicious that his friend photographed it when it happened. I am speculating I know, but it seems like the more likely option in my mind-
That friend must have ungodly charisma
I respect the effort of at least trying to scam an insurance company, rather than innocent individuals
The cost for insurers to deal with and pay out fraudsters is baked into innocent individual's insurance rates. The money always comes from somewhere. It's just like how shoplifters raise the price for all goods in the grocery store.
Idiots like them are the reason why people with actual injuries have such a difficult time claiming insurance
I would like to point out that he claimed he got frostbite severe enough to where he required amputation, from riding a scooter at night... *in Taiwan.*
Quite literally the only places in Taiwan that break freezing at all are the mountains, and even then the very top of the highest mountain in Taiwan (Yu Shan) only *just barely* breaks freezing during the Winter months. So unless he rode his scooter at the top of a literal mountain in the middle of the night, the claim makes legitimately *zero* sense. And they live there! How on Earth did they think this would work??
This looks like an extreme case of "One step forward and two steps back."
Unfortunately, he was unable to take two steps back
Worst part is he didnt do it for himself, he did it because of a friend ask him to.
Peer presure is one hella drug.
I'd say that circular saw woman was singlehandedly the dumbest plan I've heard, but that dry ice plan doesn't have a leg to stand on
This comment may or may not be underrated

The compensation for pain and suffering only makes you whole again. It’s never really worth the pain suffered. It just tries to return what was taken from you

My farts are better than Charlie's farts.
I just looked it up. I order to get frostbite in 30 minutes, it would have to be 0 degrees fahrenheit. So in order for his scooter plan to be believable it would have to be extremely cold out. And thats just one issue.

When i hear stories like this.. I just feel sad... The sheer stupidity is mind blowing.
I used to be a medic in the IDF.
There are plenty of stories on how to get sick leave. Many involve faking being sick in numerous ways, but too many involve how to actually get yourself sick/hurt. Such as using a potato to weaken a bone so it breaks. You then end up with a broken bone, of course.
Likewise, some girls would put the gunk from their teeth into their eyes to create an infection. They ended up with sick days, which they needed... not quite a scam.
An old story from the US during Vietnam was to eat cotton balls, so on the X Ray it looks like a tumor. I hadn't heard about using a potato to break a bone. I am curious why that weakens the bones!
Explain the potato and bone, please
I need you to elaborate on the specifics of the potato bone hidden jitsu.
@@rabidrabbitshuggersIt is possible it is an urban legend, googling only shows a reddit thread from 2010 (I was a medic between 2004 and 2007) - but the explanation is that the sliced potato you wrap around an arm or leg drain it of fluids and then it just snaps.
Other methods of faking/getting sick I've heard of and can't confirm efficacy of include drinking chalk dust or cigarette ashes to increase your body temperature.
I can confirm that smearing gunk on your eyes does in fact lead to eye infections though.
Did have one soldier who drank hot coffee just before coming in, and then put the thermostat immediately on the hot spot. We all laughed out loud when it said his body temperature was 60C (140F). Can't remember if we shooed him out or got him martialed.
