Don't feel too bad. I recently went through the same thing. We were planning on meeting up and then she started talking about bringing music gift cards to the hang out. Also had some weird story about being a model traveling through California. You can usually spot them pretty quickly. Don't ever send pics or personal info or money to someone you've just met online. Best way to stay safe.
LOL. Not too long ago the same thing happened to me. A scammer also threatened to send pictures on social media and to friends and family. So all I did was tell the to go ahead. I told them that there are people who don't like me, and it won't bother me if one or two are added to that list, plus people might mock me for while, but as it is a common thing these days, they will get over it in a few months or so. Then I reported them, blocked them and guess what, nothing ever came from it. I know all the tricks scammers have. From their ways, to their speach and even certain words they use. They are not as clever as they think they used to be.

I actually fell for the sextortion scam. It was hilarious when she said she was going to get the photo's I sent her published in my local paper, and send them to my family as well if I didn't pay her. I replied: "That's GREAT, I am an aspiring porn star seeking exposure, how soon will they be published?"
They tried that with me and tried to blackmail me saying all that nonsense and all that garbage I totally go ahead and do it I've already posted all that stuff online they're never going to do it did he say they're going to do it do nothing but children just kids in over their heads because they're eventually they're going to come across somebody that's not playing the fucking game and that's actually going to find them and hurt them and that's horrible these kids have no idea what they're doing they don't know the reality of the world and some of the people that are in it
Man, to anyone reading this who may have also fallen into this trap and is concerned - I can tell you right now that a newspaper isn't going to publish those photos. Trust. That's how you can tell these guys are full of it. This is a great response, I bet it ruined their day 😅
Wow. I'm pretty shocked by the lengths this scammers go. As a Nigerian, I know that if Mr. G gets caught by fellow scammers, he'll be killed. Please tell him to stay safe.
He is definitely loosing his life and probably a loved one when they watch this video I'm sure of that Nigerian cultist are deadly and have no human sympathy
Haha I got tricked into this before. but when they tried to blackmail me little did they know that I'm not shy or insecure about my body so I told them to go ahead and send the pics to everyone they could think of.. they didn't like that and got angry so they switched to trying to make me think it was illegal and they were actually the fbi and were going to arrest me if I didn't pay😂 all they got was more pics. As I watched this again I realized mine wasn't quite the same. It wasn't ever a pay for sex conversation and they didn't talk with broken English. More just went straight to being NSFW then just tried the shame blackmail thing. They actually spoke so normal I just assumed it was a someone from at least America..
I guess I was a little embarrassed about getting caught up in something as stupid as that.. This is the only time I've told anyone.. Not even friends.. But now it's online 😂

LOLOL. Just had a scammer threatening to tell my boss that I’m a woman married to a woman unless I gave him $300. I retired two years ago and the company I worked for was very liberal. Next?
One thing we should keep in mind is this: how often have you received pictures from someone who is the victim of the scam? In other words how often have they followed through on their threat to send revealing photos to “everyone in your contacts“? This ends up being a paper tiger 🐅 (an empty threat). It’s far easier for them to make such a threat - and much more profitable - than it is to follow through on it. There’s no financial incentive for them to punish you by following through, Also, once they have followed through on their extortion scheme, they have then made themselves prime targets for legal action. And they have motivated their victim and their victim’s friends and family to take every legal action against them.
Good point. However it's still possible for those pictures to end up on the internet and most people wouldn't want that. I don't understand sending them to anyone ever but that's different.
Heh, had someone try to say they had webcam footage of me... Which was funny cause I haven't used a webcam in about 20 years. When they said they were going to send it to my family unless I paid, I said "Sure! go ahead. Mom has been real worried I haven't been social enough." .... Never heard back from them. Mom is still waiting on the footage.
exaggeration? 20 years ago people were trading pics not webcam videos im pretty sure, IDK maybe im thinking about the late 90's not 2001, shit im getting old
@@gopherhole8341 I had a webcam nearly 20 yrs ago, in high school. Definitely not too off base! Of course I was too scared to ever use it because "internet stranger danger" was so deeply ingrained into me. For the best, honestly!
I ran afoul of one of those sextortion scammers. They threatened to send incriminating material to my Facebook list. They got very mad at me when I refused to pay and told them to do it. I even started suggesting who would enjoy it most. They eventually just gave up and blocked me.
The end of the video could be some of the best content I’ve ever seen on any channel!!!! Just kidding! Thanks for the Chris Farley memories and keep up the great work against those scammers
I almost fell victim to something similar where I went to meet a woman off a "dating app" a few years ago, not far from my home luckily I was on a motorbike because when I sent the text to let her know I was near her house a group of guys got out of a car parked outside the stated address looking around.
Lol but u would of been wrong if you would of shot at them right ? Scamming at its finest they wanna play stupid games be prepared for the outcome not everyone plays like this smh
Thank you Ben, I ended up getting texts messages though my phone with so scammers and they sent me pictures just like the one you shown us on your UA-cam channel. I don't recognize the number try to block ending up opening the message by accident, I end up blocking the number and this happened who ever the scammer may be sends me a nother text message on a different number and text again started causing at me for blocking there other number. It's scary I knowing how many people are there in the world like this. You are a life saver Ben... Thank you again.
I was on OKCupid a couple years ago and I'm good at spotting trolls and scammers, so this Russian girl messages me saying we should email instead since she wanted to delete her profile because of all the pervs she said. I said okay and in the back of my mind I was just wanting to see if this was fake not taking it seriously. So we started exchanging emails for 3 months if I asked for a picture she would send it, if I asked for a video her face wouldn't be in it and she would have excuses about her phone not working. She called me twice and all I could think of, "This might be real" until she asked for money. Then I used another email address to message her and she used the same copy and paste message she sent me in her first email. These romance scams I can see how people fall for some of them, I hate scammers!
One time I met a girl on tinder who sent nudes and tried to get me to as well but I figured it was fishy so I asked her to send a pic holding a spoon up to her face and she never did it. Definitely one of those scams. I knew what was up and didn't send anything lol
It happened to me too once..but a different way . I was stupid and send Money ...Went on for almost 7 month . After that i tried to kill myself . I lost all My confidence and at that time i started My own Business . I was totally lost .
This is the most dumbest Scammer I ever see he really believed that's really him😂😂😂 I guess they never watch American movie in the world about it why they need another man naked picture that's pretty gay to be honest
TBH this happens a lot over Facebook as well. Random people will add you and try to have a similar conversation and then try to video chat you. I’ve been warned never to video chat with them by friends but I’ve definitely had my fun leading these people on 😂
Yeah it happened to me but the person messaging me was friends with me for a long time but they had been hacked ig, thats why I didn’t suspect anything🙄
I know someone who thought an online young hot Russian woman was in love with him, despite him being old and quite overweight. The sad part is he kept sending 'her' money, even after repeated warnings that it's a scam. When someone is in love all logic and reason flies out the window.
Once, I was online looking for someone to share my life with. Never again. Two ladies at the same time did the very two things that made me decide single life over the internet attempt. One, strung me along occasionally asking for 'help', though she never got any, her long game was she needed "time" but we'd be together.... after years of not giving her money, and not being with her, I blocked that one. All the while the other lady, supposedly from Ghana... asked for money to get her passport, (I never sent it, I suggested she apply for asylum, and then come to my address), she sent a photo... to entice.. and suddenly I realized I had seen her before. HOW? How did I know this picture?? She had sent a photo from a magazine cover I had recently passed in the grocery store... blocked...Online relationships are almost always an attempt at futility. Save your sanity and emotion, and believe you only need you... if that partner comes along, be happy, if not.. oh well I guess.
I know the feeling too well but its what I get for being naive and not sure if you heard of the new twists of dating scams such as using sex crimes accusations till the mask falls which always ends up as money fale law firms fake police department calls fake private investigators calls fake angry father calls that whole thing

@@brianbills3745 I didn't know it was a scam at the time so I unfortunately did have to buy an itunes gift card for the person and then when they wouldn't stop I just blocked them but every once in awhile I get a message request from somebody and I always have a feeling that it's the same person.

I have had a few guys on Facebook trying to scam me. I normally dont except messages from people I dont know if I do I am bored and want to talk usually in 5 to 10 mins I report them and block them. Plus I work to hard for my money and I don't even send money to my friends or family.

Wow if anyone tried blackmailing me with nudes threatening to send them to my employer I'd laugh and say go ahead. The fact the people can be blackmailed with that says just as much about employers as it does about the scammers. Everyone (some exceptions) likes sex, has wants needs and interests. If they are able to be blackmaile its ridiculous, only time that should be frowned upon is if their desires were criminal in nature.

Mom is still waiting on the footage.
exaggeration? 20 years ago people were trading pics not webcam videos im pretty sure, IDK maybe im thinking about the late 90's not 2001, shit im getting old
I'm recommending*rekohack* on instàgràm he safe me from a scammer that was black mailing me ..
@@gopherhole8341 I had a webcam nearly 20 yrs ago, in high school. Definitely not too off base! Of course I was too scared to ever use it because "internet stranger danger" was so deeply ingrained into me. For the best, honestly!

The way you tell these stories is so great that i started following you
If CIA doesn't recruit this guy after this video it will be a mistake
(Even the scammer asked if he isn't from CIA or something xd)
He isn't woke enough.

They already tried and they weren't impressed by his detective skills =D
CIA leaders don't care about "small" people's problems...
@@petittoto7433 i do know that, this comment is just a joke but iam not saying that he isn't good at solving problems like this
I ran afoul of one of those sextortion scammers. They threatened to send incriminating material to my Facebook list. They got very mad at me when I refused to pay and told them to do it. I even started suggesting who would enjoy it most. They eventually just gave up and blocked me.
The boy that killed himself because he thought his life was over and all the others. They could of done so much keep resting ❤
So horrible l. These criminals are murderers of human souls and lives.
The end of the video could be some of the best content I’ve ever seen on any channel!!!! Just kidding! Thanks for the Chris Farley memories and keep up the great work against those scammers
bro that Nigeria music always gets me lol
thank you for the video Ben!
I fell for something similar to this. Then I found your channel shortly after. I couldn’t believe what I had gotten myself into
I almost fell victim to something similar where I went to meet a woman off a "dating app" a few years ago, not far from my home luckily I was on a motorbike because when I sent the text to let her know I was near her house a group of guys got out of a car parked outside the stated address looking around.
Lol but u would of been wrong if you would of shot at them right ? Scamming at its finest they wanna play stupid games be prepared for the outcome not everyone plays like this smh
Scary. Glad you were ok
She still there?
Got the address and her contact info?
Want to go hunting,...for the punks?
After we're done they'll give up her address.
He's backkk
It is so awesome to see Chris Farley still helping others.
Scammer didn't learn anything, they'll just move on to the next one
The fact she asked for a STEAM gift card should’ve already been suspicious.
what, you saying there are no gamer -girls?

Thank you for educating people about these types of SCAMS!! ❤️
Thank you Ben, I ended up getting texts messages though my phone with so scammers and they sent me pictures just like the one you shown us on your UA-cam channel. I don't recognize the number try to block ending up opening the message by accident, I end up blocking the number and this happened who ever the scammer may be sends me a nother text message on a different number and text again started causing at me for blocking there other number. It's scary I knowing how many people are there in the world like this. You are a life saver Ben... Thank you again.
I was on OKCupid a couple years ago and I'm good at spotting trolls and scammers, so this Russian girl messages me saying we should email instead since she wanted to delete her profile because of all the pervs she said. I said okay and in the back of my mind I was just wanting to see if this was fake not taking it seriously. So we started exchanging emails for 3 months if I asked for a picture she would send it, if I asked for a video her face wouldn't be in it and she would have excuses about her phone not working. She called me twice and all I could think of, "This might be real" until she asked for money. Then I used another email address to message her and she used the same copy and paste message she sent me in her first email. These romance scams I can see how people fall for some of them, I hate scammers!
One time I met a girl on tinder who sent nudes and tried to get me to as well but I figured it was fishy so I asked her to send a pic holding a spoon up to her face and she never did it. Definitely one of those scams. I knew what was up and didn't send anything lol
same but with her fingers the number 3
Smart
Same but with shoe on head.
Same but with a claw hammer sticking out of her head.
You haven't someone smart yet.
People take their lives over these scams, that's so sad :(
I want to rn but I won’t. No matter what
It happened to me too once..but a different way .
I was stupid and send Money ...Went on for almost 7 month .
After that i tried to kill myself .
I lost all My confidence and at that time i started My own Business .
I was totally lost .
@@hikhak6504 they got me too in a much darker way than this
@@danlee1835 you and me both
You should've sent him a Ron Jeremy pic and gave him the "workplace" info for another scammer company.
🤣
This is the most dumbest Scammer I ever see he really believed that's really him😂😂😂 I guess they never watch American movie in the world about it why they need another man naked picture that's pretty gay to be honest
I love the consistency of these videos
The thumbnail got me here on this one..... great work!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
You know its going to be a good day when you receive a notification from pleasant green
TBH this happens a lot over Facebook as well. Random people will add you and try to have a similar conversation and then try to video chat you. I’ve been warned never to video chat with them by friends but I’ve definitely had my fun leading these people on 😂
And they always call you "Dear". It's like... WTF?
And there's an actual girl in the video chat ? she stripped first ?
Yeah it happened to me but the person messaging me was friends with me for a long time but they had been hacked ig, thats why I didn’t suspect anything🙄
@@alexc8253 Ye apparently they use prerecorded videos for it
Another great video mate got loads of people watching from the UK learning how not to get scammed and how’s Chikaoderry hope she’s ok
I know someone who thought an online young hot Russian woman was in love with him, despite him being old and quite overweight. The sad part is he kept sending 'her' money, even after repeated warnings that it's a scam. When someone is in love all logic and reason flies out the window.
I have had scammers take my photos and use them to steal thousands of dollars from poor unsuspecting men.
It's happened so many times.
It sucks.
Do you know if the photos they use appear in the reverse image search?
Every video do I impatiently wait for the Nigerian sound
Yep, FY seems to be the standard response from scammers (romance or otherwise) when they don't get their way.
Once, I was online looking for someone to share my life with. Never again. Two ladies at the same time did the very two things that made me decide single life over the internet attempt. One, strung me along occasionally asking for 'help', though she never got any, her long game was she needed "time" but we'd be together.... after years of not giving her money, and not being with her, I blocked that one. All the while the other lady, supposedly from Ghana... asked for money to get her passport, (I never sent it, I suggested she apply for asylum, and then come to my address), she sent a photo... to entice.. and suddenly I realized I had seen her before. HOW? How did I know this picture?? She had sent a photo from a magazine cover I had recently passed in the grocery store... blocked...Online relationships are almost always an attempt at futility. Save your sanity and emotion, and believe you only need you... if that partner comes along, be happy, if not.. oh well I guess.
I don’t know why I’m addicted to watching you. 🙂
Great job messing with these a**holes! I'm so sick and tired of stories of people getting taken advantage of! 🤬😡😠
I know the feeling too well but its what I get for being naive and not sure if you heard of the new twists of dating scams such as using sex crimes accusations till the mask falls which always ends up as money fale law firms fake police department calls fake private investigators calls fake angry father calls that whole thing
A guy at work looses half his paycheck every week . The last 3 years he’s been sending “ women “ money every week. Won’t listen
Poor guy, hopefully he will open his eyes one day and stop wasting his money.
I was looking for you. I don't ever go online. I only believe in meeting people in person. I don't ever deal with gift card.
Play the Nigerian song a little longer😬😆
I found you in my fyp and I DO NOT REGRET clicking on that video
Got myself into the same situation a few years ago but I'm never again accepting random friend requests from people so I changed all my accounts to private, I'm glad there are people like you out there putting a stop to these kind of things.
Did they ever follow through? I’m currently fell for the pics I sent. I didn’t pay I blocked them and reported to FB
@@brianbills3745 I didn't know it was a scam at the time so I unfortunately did have to buy an itunes gift card for the person and then when they wouldn't stop I just blocked them but every once in awhile I get a message request from somebody and I always have a feeling that it's the same person. These people have nothing better to do then scam and blackmail other people out of their money, they need to go out and get real jobs.

so true. if i ever go to Nigeria i fully expect this music to play the second the plane touches down.

I hate and think of scammers in Nigeria
I would not want to go there. Don't give money to anyone you don't know.
@@margaretduszak660 don't be ignorant Nigeria is a nice country with great culture and rich food if you ever visit you would enjoy yourself as long as you stay in the main cities you make it seem like scammers are just roaming the streets freely or something I would have you know that the treatment they get is even worse here if you don't believe you can check online and see that many of them are arrested as soon as evidence is found of their scamming.
I guess I am being too hard on that country . sorry if I didn't know all my facts lol
Holy shit dude this just happend to me and I wish I found this earlier. Ya know before my scam. You have given me clarity because I thought for real about suicide. And attempting to kill myself because this was such a scary experience. But I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re a freaking hero.
I love everything you do thank you 🙏.
I know a victim of scam hoping you could hear and share it thru your channel for people awareness.
Those Chris Farley pics had me laughing hysterically
I have had a few guys on Facebook trying to scam me. I normally dont except messages from people I dont know if I do I am bored and want to talk usually in 5 to 10 mins I report them and block them.
Plus I work to hard for my money and I don't even send money to my friends or family.

What a wonderful video. Fake dating profiles prey on the loneliness of men and women, and blackmail or robbery at a meet up is their plan. I hope millions of viewers watch your videos, take notes and read them every so often so scammers will give up and look for a different victim.

Wow if anyone tried blackmailing me with nudes threatening to send them to my employer I'd laugh and say go ahead. The fact the people can be blackmailed with that says just as much about employers as it does about the scammers.
Everyone (some exceptions) likes sex, has wants needs and interests. If they are able to be blackmaile its ridiculous, only time that should be frowned upon is if their desires were criminal in nature.
The problem is if you hold a public position and don't take precautions. This video is very clear. PPL learn from it
