QuadAir Drone Review and Scam, Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 гру 2024
- It is the night of Dec. 27, 2022, and Google users are looking for reviews about a supposed QuadAir drone scam (or QuadAir drone pro). Here’s what I found, and first, please click the like button, the thumbs up button. It’ll help me out.
The QuadAir drone scam search performed by Google users appeared to be an attempt to find out if there were any real reviews about the product. I can tell you right off the top that the QuadAir drone has all the makings of being a scam. Basically, it appears to be the same as a Eachine E58 drone, but marked way up in price. Scammers appear to be hiding this fact from listings. I might be wrong about that, but other users came to the same conclusion.
In this video, I start out looking at Google to see what comes up when I search for QuadAir drone, and what I found were the terms reviews, Amazon, website, reviews 2022, price, app, review Reddit, review UA-cam, and complaints. They all popped up.
First off, when searching for the QuadAir drone scam and reviews, I noticed that a number of search results at the top were ads from fake review websites that were nothing more than sponsored content. I also saw a lot of content from India, which was a bit of a red flag to me.
Second, I noticed that some QuadAir drone pages on Facebook claimed to feature reviews of the scam, and had Photoshopped out the words Emotion Drone from the product, which was scammy. I reviewed other Facebook pages and found links to other countries, which wasn’t a good sign.
And third, basically, if you see enough people searching around to find out if something is a scam, and you see links to foreign countries, and wild claims that don’t make sense like the ads that are going around that claim the QuadAir drone is really a military drone that cost $5,000 but has been marked down for the general public… there are too many red flags to feel confident in a purchase here.
My opinion, my personal recommendation… I would shop elsewhere.
Separate from this QuadAir drone scam that people were looking for reviews about, if you did fall for any scam out there and you’re worried that you gave the scammers too much of your information, call your bank or credit card company and ask them what steps you can take to secure your account, just as a precaution. Also, if you gave the scammers any access to your Paypal, Venmo, Cash App, Zelle, or any other account like that, contact the company and secure your account. Enable two-factor authentication. Search Google for how to do that. Take extra measures to ensure the scammers can’t get in.
I hope you got something out of this video. I’m making all of these videos on my own time on nights and weekends to help people. There’s just not enough time during the day to publish reporting about all of the potential scams out there, so I am spending my free time to help people out, so again, please click the Like button, the thumbs up button, and that will tell Google and UA-cam my video has some value, and maybe then it’ll rank highly, and therefore someone might be able to receive answers.
Feel free to share your story in the comments below and check out my creative projects, which cover subjects such as New York history and abandoned places. Thanks so much for watching.
If you would like to support me, especially if I saved you from a scam or helped you get out of one, you can give via PayPal, Venmo or Zelle using my email address: jordanliles@gmail.com. Feel free to include a note as to which video it was that you found helpful. Thanks!
Thank you. That saved me from ordering the drone. I was very close to buying it, but something seemed way too flashy, on the landing page, plus as soon as I wanted to navigate to a different tab a pop with a 5 min count down timer came out, essentially trying to pressure me to buy within 5 min. That was really a red flag. A few quick searches got me to your video. I would upvote you 5 times, if I could, but I can only do it once.
Thank you so much for this! I was quite close to buying one of these as a gift for my adult son. He's been working in film for a couple years, so I thought this would be a great addition for him. Thank for helping me not lose my money, and potentially my identity!
😂 That drone commercial was at the beginning of this video lmAo
Oh God. Come on, UA-cam.
@@jordanliles Sorry, but God is on his coffee break and is on the phone with Jesus. Expect it will be awhile!
Me to 🤦🏾♂️
Same XD
Thanks Jordan. I’m getting bombed with ads for similar scammie products on UA-cam lately. This video will save folks like me time and money. Kudos!
I wish I had seen your video earlier. I had scanned the QR code on an ad for plug-in pest control gadget. Placed an order using my credit card then shortly thereafter, my bank me sent a notification of a charge by a different merchant that does not sell the exact or similar gadget. I cancelled my credit card. The merchant sent me a text stating the charge did not go through. Thanks for what you do.
My first clue was trying to find a honest UA-cam review on the product. Every review said buy it. Thanks for the review, I figured to good to be true.
Absolutely horrifying when you google something and every result is… like this. It’s almost Orwellian. It scares me that they were able to throttle the search results so hard.
@@matthewfanous8468 This is business Darwinism, same rules apply and this is created by an organic brain! Kind of like people believe this God guy is very creative.
Great job Jordan. You have educated me beyond anything I expected from this video.
Stupid me fell for the scam reviews and I bought one. What a waste of money. It won't calibrate to do what u want , camera is absolute crap as well as the stupid app. Battery lasts 8 mins. Do not buy this .
Plastic flimsy waste of money
Upon turning the unit on for the first time, you hear a tinny voice announcing that this unit will self-destruct in 60 seconds. Mission Impossible?
HOORAY! A review from someone who actually purchased the drone. Thank you for the warning!
Awesome walk-through of the scamming mechanisms! This is the best video I've seen about Quadair.
I completely fell for this when making a rushed decision to get a drone without doing proper research, so getting your analysis of how they pull it off was incredibly interesting.
I can actually share my story about this, as I just completed a video about buying this drone and what happened afterwards.
I'm trying to learn how to produce videos, so making a "subjective review" of falling for this and what happened afterwards was a golden opportunity for me.

Just saw that comercial and anytime one of those scam comercials telling you to scan the QR code I alway look up reviews and thats how I found your video and the comercial played again before your video!! 🙃
The ad for quadair drone played right before this video
Not surprised.
Is it a good Drone for the Lower Price from other brand vendors?
Does it actually have all the features listed?
Thanks a million Jordan for your help in stopping myself and many others getting ripped off. 😊
I have a drone that was given to me that happens to look just like it!...its ok for a kids toy ,but not 4k or as good as they claim for the quad air...im actually wondering if thats what mine is because its nearly identicle...do u have a safe email address or any way i can send pics or vids of it functioning and close up pics of its details so i can figure out what brand it is? Or any info on it u might know? Because im not sure what app to use with it...i clicked on the quad air ad to see if it was better,but after your vid im not sure i want to buy it...thanx
Thank you for your research. I almost purchased one. So then which drone do you recommend at an average price? I am looking into getting one but after watching your video I am more confused. One thing for sure is I do not want to get scammed and doing the research is so very confusing. Scams are around every corner...lol but true. Looking forward to your recommendation. Thanks!
Thank you so much I nearly took the plunge to buy this, but somehow has something telling me not to. And I am so relieved now, having watched your video, affirming my suspicions are legit. Thank you very much once again for making videos like this to help people avoid scams.🙏
Thanks so much for your very informative channel, I had actually ordered a Quadair before finding your presentation. This is my first drone, so I got sucked in. But when I saw those E58 drones for 50 bucks, I thought, bugger. But the good news is they'll refund no questions asked which I did as soon as it arrived. By the way I bought a DJI mini 3 after that. Go with the good brands I reckon. Cheers.
I wonder if George Santos is one of the QuadAir developers/promoters ?
This is nickel & dime scaming.

When compared to Donald Trump et al ???
Maybe but nothing is too low for greedy Republican con-artists ...
Ha! Thanks for the laugh stranger.
At 7:04-7:12 when showing the FB page there’s a picture of the drone without the IMotion Drone wording shopped out 😂
I find that any ad that has a side story is usually going to wind up being a scam
Thanks for the heads up on this product. I have been on the verge of buying one and keep looking at reviews and say they are good.
Then I have looked into further and saw your video and I am now convinced NOT to buy one.
😊
ANY drone without GPS to fix its location is essentially trash or a toy and will prove to be very difficult to fly. I saw in the ad reference to "headless" mode - which is a feature found in no real drone of even entry level quality, only in toy/trash rubbish. And that's not the worst possible. Any drone can fail. If it fails on the ground, no big issue. BUT if it fails at 400ft high (the legal height limit in most countries) then by the time it hits whatever was underneath it, it could injure or kill a child or maybe cause an RTAccident. Massive fines or prison or both.
But since it'll be idiots in the main who'll buy this rubbish device chances are they'll not bother about getting qualified to fly it. Or learn what's allowed and what's not.
A great shortcut to a courthouse trial.
And Google is fostering these pirates, happily accepting their dirty money received for showing their idiot-hooking ads.
And Google must be aware of what they're selling... They're quick enough to pick up on music or video infringements! So to Google, all moneys received are very welcome. "Don't raise the nature of the product, that's counter productive." Like all giant mega-corporations, it measures success by the balance sheet baseline. Big number good, bigger numbers = better!
So basically this is a video about how to filter web sites which are scams, but not about the "drone"
Thank you Mr. Liles for this information. Much appreciated 🙏
Here's my channel with my creative projects: ua-cam.com/channels/pkARz4a6YE6rFUrZfRqOWQ.html
Thanks Jordan - very helpful. Am looking at buying a drone but not this one!
Most useful to see how these scammers work and as you say, if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is 😁
Thanks Graham!
Thank you, I almost fell for this. The cheap price raised enormous alarm bells, @80 for 2 drones.
Excellent thank you, was almost buying the Qinux K8 drone, massively advertised but hard to find any real reviews anywhere, probably same scammy type of drone for less than £100 😢
Thanks!
Thank you for contributing!
Ok all that info is great but you didn’t even use it so is it worth anything does it do anything it claims or not
Your video was great. Thanks for explaining and saving a lot of people from these scams. I just seen an advertisement on UA-cam about this drone.
Sure thing. Thanks for watching!
So no military grade drone for me?😮
😭😭😭
I just saw a new ad for it said best drone for 2023 and that no guarantee they can make more because they trying to be shut down by another company. So I googled are they trying to be shut down and these scam videos popped up lmao oh and the new add still had the word on it that was photo shopped out on what you showed I'm definitely not buying one from them so glad I watched this thanks.
I almost bought is drone but with what they claimed seemed too good for the price and when i went to leave offered me more and more discounts but went in to pay on PayPal and price was different so got out and they offered a bigger discount so went back to PAYPAL again and again price different so went looking around and found this review. So thank you for your review i need look no further.this is August 2023
Is this the drone made for US military but just now available to civilians?
Yep, that's the one. The advertisers who are paying to show ads that claim that are doing their best to hide.
I suspected that this drone could be a scam! Thank you for confirming my suspicions.
Happy to help, Jack.
I saw it branded as shadow x drone
Yes I knew this had to be a scam….
Question is is illegal to fly and record videos for UA-cam with a drone?????
Super helpful and enlightening information on the ad front. I was going to buy it, but now I'm not.
Have you actually flown the Quad Air Drone & proved this product is a"fake" & does not perform as advertised?
Unfortunately I ordered one before seeing this. I'm now feeling ripped off.
Sorry, Ivan. Unlike what it says in some UA-cam ads, this drone was never used by the military or anything like that, nor did it cost $5,000 originally. The only good news is the drone should work, but unfortunately you overpaid according to other prices that I've seen online. Thanks for watching.
everything that looks too good to be true is always a scam
Yo! When are you going to talk about the actual unit?? You are going on and on about the ads, etc. Where is the actual product review??
Thankfully your video was the first that popped up. Awesome info Thank you 👍
I'm so glad to have helped so many people. Thanks for commenting.
It’s a scam u are so right I bought one it’s a scam 😊😊😊😊 don’t buy it
I found the UA-cam ad many of you may have seen and copied the link: ua-cam.com/video/aZNfuzZKLSQ/v-deo.html
thanks dude, I was about to buy one
Hi Mahdi. So glad I could help! Feel free to tap the "Thanks" button below if you'd like. If you're on mobile, it's one of the buttons just below the video, which you might need to scroll left or right to see. Have a good one.
What about the review of the drone?
Drone is a cosmetically altered drone of a really cheap one off amazon
Its good to train is right.
Thank you for doing what I WAS going to do. Appreciated 👍
They just saturate the web w diff't "sponsered" reviews, they're all paid for & will be all the top picks.
keep scrolling.
I was tempted to buy 3 and get 2 for free after not just the 10% but 15% discount!😅
The only thing missing from your review is an actual review of the product itself. You pointed out how scams are done, and the red flags with the marketing. You also point out that the drone looks like a $20 product on Amazon. But the nail in the coffin would have been if you had actually purchased the drone, tested it for yourself, and then actually reviewed the product and not just the marketing of the product. Not to disregard anything you said in the video, I am just saying that in that respect, your review was disappointing. I still don't have a review from a legitimate actual user.
Thankyou for your honest review.
It really helped me, thanks😅
I know advertisement is deliberately made to be deceptive they literally teach you in ad school how to be deceptive in your ads 😒 but some ads these days like this ad being discussed are just to much I don't like being lied to and they are blatantly lying on everything about this this drone I'm actually passed lmao kinda want to find the guy and kick his ass 😂🤣
Thank you! Not all heroes wear capes ❤
I guess I missed the review......
Ok.
Thanks. I love you, man. Awesome review.
Many thanks for an excellent job!!!
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Thank you. Was going to buy one.
great review ! ❤ You are correct 👍
Foreign back door firmware/ software that probably sends info back to it origin
Thanks
Thank you! Great video.
Thank you but it's too late for me. I bought it and tried it. It's uncontrollable by their own controller. It's like buying a cheap drone for kids. Don't buy #Quad air drone. It is a big scam.
So sorry.
Thank you!
Hey friend n or friends I've never owned a drone yet I like the first person view concept I'm not trying to spend anything more than a hundred bucks on something simple and just something I can use for some can someone point me in a direction of something around $100 I know I should spend more but this is what I got
You da man chap
Its def a scam.
Yep.
thanks for info
Nice one 👍
🥰
Great job debunker this arnaq
Excellent
Thank you - you saved me! :D
But, but, but you can ride it like the woman on the beginning of the UA-cam video, right!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Awesome video. Subscribed.
