Brah! You clearly don't understand how the blockchain works. I mean, I don't understand how it works either... but I just watched a 5 minute YT video and have decided to put all my money in NFT's because the future is Meta.
I mean Bitcoin is not that hard to understand how it works tbh, it's just a public ledger where you can see all the peer to peer transactions on it. Monkey NFTs or shitcoins like Will Smith Inu coin (that's a real scamcoin btw) however should be avoided at all costs.
Even with supposed contracts in freelancing, its not easy to do anything about it. Keep in mind, there is international clients involved. Domestically, it may be an option, but when its on a global scale, you're not going to get your dues for small amounts. I've lost a whole month of work with no pay early on. This is why you see freelancers having payment models that are shorter. Like, pay per item of work or simply per hour but payable at the end of every day.

Related to job applicant fraud. Though using the Teams application is normal for conducting interviews, your personal Office 365 (or Microsoft 365) login credentials should NOT be required for either confirming a calendar appointment, nor accessing the meeting. The normal procedure is that you are sent a link by the employer, which will either begin a browser-based session, and/or prompt you to launch the Teams application (provided that you had previously installed this).
You should have mentioned how little jail time these people typically get if at all and then when they get out they still have millions they hid in offshore or crypto accounts. Get paid to sit in jail, not a bad job!

When I clicked the video, I thought the "why that is a good thing" was going to involve something of the lines: "the government being ineffective in containing all scams is on its own a close part of a free market. After all, scammers and security providers need to keep competing all the time." or "scammers doing more money just shows the growth that the overall economy has had."
Considering how incredibly un-empathetic people are these days...... Yeah... Between fraud/scams and just straight out legal grifts....we're kinda fucked.

This is unacceptable, knowing that it could have been prevented. This is why the finance industry needs to know the importance of using such fraud-prevention tools such as Phone validator APIs in their systems. Phone validation is crucial to ensuring database is protected from fraud. Someone needs to make sure that the phone number you’re accepting or giving out is correct because an incorrect number can lead to security breaches and other problems.
The worst kind of scam I run into is homeless people asking for money. I actually want to help the people who have legit problems so they can't work. Some of the common scams is the guy pretending to be deaf or the guy holding medical papers who just needs a few more dollars to buy his medicine.
I had a guy come up to me in a truck with a sob story about he couldn't afford gas and would I buy his ring. And I'm thinking, you shouldn't be driving around so much if you're hard up on gas.
Just be careful with deaf people. Real deafness is complicated and someone who is deaf still has residual hearing. Not only that, but person can also hear sounds perfectly loud, but don't have clarity. So don't forget that and be careful what you claim as scams. Good news is that, there's usually not much that you can do if you are deaf. Unless there's something obvious like ripped eardrum or similar, there most likely won't be a complete fix. Their only options are hearing aids or cohlear implants, both of which cost way more than you would want to give to beggar (a pair of hearing aids starts at 1k USD, with more normal price being 4k USD for pair, meanwhile cohlear implants do cost tens of thousand dollars and require surgery). The only thing you can do for deaf person is to ask if they are aware of local shelters and employment centers for disabled people. Source: I'm deaf.

One thing that should be part of this video, which is too short anyway, is the actual condition of most currencies and federal banking policies. One reason for the great inflation of Stock markets and the abundant amount of private equity money is the vast expansion of available money for the markets. Since the financial crisis started in 2008 (and it never factually ended btw) estimates about the increase of money in circulation put it somewhere between 5-10 trillion dollars (in Euros and other currencies as well) for the first six years of the crisis, so up to 2014. This went all seperate from the usual and normal increase by taking out loans and thereby increasing the amount of money circulating. These were only the easily trackable bailouts and quantitative easing policies being accounted for in which failing or bancrupt investments got a public reimbursement if you will. So you have over ten trillion dollars, that should have been actually losses, that are now running amok in stock markets and property markets (which in turn fuel the sky rocketing housing costs). Great parts of that money went to private equity companies, which already proved they are morons by having federal banks bail out their bad investments, and now can take out loans based on their earnings (which actually were losses) and then start to invest (without having any clue) in other things with a leverage based on their current balance. Incompetent investment companies like these are the reason why companies like Theranos, Nikola, Tesla, SpaceX and many others just did not go bancrupt when their time was long overdue. Too many gullible and greedy investors with basically free money at their disposal to throw it at Vaporware and Scammers.
@@randomvideogameracoon8358 SpaceX is also backed by the liquidity at the hands of Musk. Which in turn comes from a stock that used to be 40 $, for good reason. Then rised to over 800$, for no good reason actually against all the problems they had at the same time. That is what happens to stocks if you have massive amount of rampant liquidity in the hands of incompetent people.
The crisis DID end; it's just that the post-dotcom era (up to 2008) was also riding on massive bubbles and government spending, and that the crappy 2009 living is what our economy should have been.
@@auraguard0212 The central bank policies stayed in full on, red-alert crisis mode, so the central banks have a different opinion on the end of the crisis. Sure, they *say* the crisis ended, but they act like it is still ongoing full force. Believe their words or their policies ? It is up to you. The only difference now, the inflation finally gained momentum after flooding the markets with liquidity for 14 years without a single break. Now they have to cut back on QE and increase interest rates, they have no other choice, even though the crisis is still going on and soon old enough to get a drivers license in the US.
There is an anecdote about a Japanese leader (prime minister, mayor of Tokyo, etc etc) that was told his rule has improved the situation and economy of post war Japan. Who told him? A diplomat?

I was scammed by a biotech company called GATACA based in Newport, VA. The CEO hired me as a 1099 contractor to do some bioinformatics work for them. I did the work, complete with executive summaries of everything I did (in nice html markdown style, written in layman’s terms specifically for a CEO) and posted the work to their AWS bucket. When I emailed her the detailed invoice, which included the agreed-upon hours (I actually did a bit more but only billed what we agreed to and specifically delineated how every hour was spent), she ghosted me and never paid. I could have taken her to small claims court with my contract in hand, but I likely would have broken even since it was only one month’s work. I can only assume she does this over and over and gets a lot of free work that way.
Says a lot about the morality of small business owners when they complain about people not wanting to work only to turn around and beg the government for bailouts

Check your billing statements even if you are using autopay. I found a slew of charges that seemed legit. I've had double charges from legit purchases/bills post but several days apart. I get two alerts when my card is charged; one for pending charges and one for posted charges. I wasn't paying close attention and charges I thought were just posting were actually new charges. Then I've been charged for add on services I didn't even have access to. Most of us lose money from legit companies and they get away with it because they know we all are not paying attention.

So you have over ten trillion dollars, that should have been actually losses, that are now running amok in stock markets and property markets (which in turn fuel the sky rocketing housing costs).
Great parts of that money went to private equity companies, which already proved they are morons by having federal banks bail out their bad investments, and now can take out loans based on their earnings (which actually were losses) and then start to invest (without having any clue) in other things with a leverage based on their current balance.
Incompetent investment companies like these are the reason why companies like Theranos, Nikola, Tesla, SpaceX and many others just did not go bancrupt when their time was long overdue. Too many gullible and greedy investors with basically free money at their disposal to throw it at Vaporware and Scammers.
Why spaceX? They survived due to contracts
@@randomvideogameracoon8358 SpaceX is also backed by the liquidity at the hands of Musk. Which in turn comes from a stock that used to be 40 $, for good reason. Then rised to over 800$, for no good reason actually against all the problems they had at the same time.
That is what happens to stocks if you have massive amount of rampant liquidity in the hands of incompetent people.
The crisis DID end; it's just that the post-dotcom era (up to 2008) was also riding on massive bubbles and government spending, and that the crappy 2009 living is what our economy should have been.
@@auraguard0212 The central bank policies stayed in full on, red-alert crisis mode, so the central banks have a different opinion on the end of the crisis. Sure, they *say* the crisis ended, but they act like it is still ongoing full force. Believe their words or their policies ? It is up to you.
The only difference now, the inflation finally gained momentum after flooding the markets with liquidity for 14 years without a single break. Now they have to cut back on QE and increase interest rates, they have no other choice, even though the crisis is still going on and soon old enough to get a drivers license in the US.
There is an anecdote about a Japanese leader (prime minister, mayor of Tokyo, etc etc) that was told his rule has improved the situation and economy of post war Japan. Who told him? A diplomat? Journalist? American leaders?
No, the one who told him is a chief of police, because the rate of burglary and thievery has risen.
Putting GameStop and Tesla on the thumbnail only reduces your creditability.
How so?

They are actual legitimate companies that sell physical products.
@@georgesteffey8375 What makes you think they are fraudulent companies?
@@That-Guy_ Exactly.
Also the complexity and the cleverness of scams are increasing alot, some scams are becoming harder to discover and not fall to
Yea, that’s what happens when people expose scams. they think they’re doing more good than harm. But in reality, they’re doing more harms, because now the scammers are becoming more creative because of it
The irony of getting "the simplest way to make money online" ads before this video.
Even Amazon is fraudulent
"You have a unused Prime feature" advertising that i can get Audible in my Primemembership as if it was inclusive(it isnt) and then when i saw some adds "hear over 10000 Audiobooks non-stop with Audible for only 8,99€ a Month" i wanted to sub till a Friend told me i can ONLY CHOOSE ONE per Month or pay extra. Amazon = Fraud. False Advertisment twice on the same Product.
Falsd advertising is actually taken very seriously, you should report this and amazon might get a big fine.
@@teemumiettinen7250 I bet they have a loophole. But it doesn't hurt to try.
All of your content is so good
How much is lost on "read my book or watch a short video and you will become a billionaire with your own marketing company"?
I just found this channel. I immediately noticed the sing song .. it's like a trademark. :-). You could tone down the tones a bit to make a more even flow. Lol :-). But great content!
Didn't expect my country to mentioned for big message scam, but even here various phone call or message scams are super common. So much that basically everyone is already aware of them.
Greed and stupidity has never worked. Eventually people get caught money is lost.
I almost feel for one of those employment scams. Luckily I looked at the website and realized it was just a jpeg and nothing was clickable. I didn’t lose $200.
Why do people commit fraud? Why do they scam and lie and want to harm others?
Why work honestly when they can talk their way out of a free lunch, or set themselves up for life?
I know _I_ couldn't do it, but... on paper, it does have a certain appeal.
I love this channel! Thanks!
Was expecting a video about horrible and useless memecoins
Sir this scam happened to me last week they said come at our office with resume and I'd proof
And I did go they said I passed the interview then next day they said I need to deposit 2000 rupees . I simply said no and saved myself.
We have exponential growth in sketchy recruiters scams here in the Philippines since 2013 and 2014, we had that highiest in the world here first. And at present still at high volumes here, locally, as with financial markets and multi-level marketing scams.

"It doesn't end well if you never fall for any of these schemes yourself."
Uh... Don't you mean "if you *ever* fall for any of these schemes"?
I thought he meant “it does end well even if you never fall for any of these schemes.”
Record high financial fraud is one of Burry's indicators of financial doom
I'm curious to see what you think of his theories on Schiller P and the Index Bubble.
Even if the index bubble bursts it's a great index to be a part of as it will rise
Speaking of! .... I can't get Skillshare to stop charging my card monthly.
going to have to get a new card, or possibly tell the bank not to accept charges from them
Came to hear about the marijuana stocks that Congress is buying rn.
So possible legalization at the federal level ?
They're so high up, it makes sense that they want to get higher.
Oh shit I didn't hear about that
7% increase in fraud when NFTs became trendy? Hmmm
“Only appeals to nerds and geeks … I’m sure you’ll love it” LMAOO
Nice work
Another more than decent video. Keep it up!
Are younger people truly the majority of victims? Or are they the majority of REPORTED cases?
it depends on the scam. older folks, aged 65 and up, are the target demographic for call center scams. they constitute about 90% of all the victims in those scenarios.
Pretty sure everybody eventually gets scammed. It's a learning lesson. The only difference is by how much.
Linus from linus tech tips actually just was hit by a variation of that invoice scam example. The whole story was super interesting and I'm sure there are clips talking about.
Been getting a LOT of those at work these days. Thing is we only have about 6 companies we deal with, so I check the email addresses and if it's not a vendor name I know....
It's "ply their trade", not "play"
The first half of this discribed every propfirm.
Anybody else find it funny that hackers are always portrayed with a hoodie over their head and something covering their face like a mask or sun glasses?😂
well when you start calling scammers, influencers, it's bound to happen
I lost over $700 to a good old fashioned send the money for a product and it never ships scam. Got lazy and used a mobile payment app instead of Paypal. Still mad at myself about it
Hey can you link the videos you mention at the end? I want to watch them but you have to go searching for it
And wage theft still overshadows this tenfold. Oof this is wack x.x one of many ways we stay steping on each other
what the hell is that stock footage at 2:15 😂😂😂
It’s not “even the government falls for scams”, it’s ESPECIALLY 🤣
Freelancers who don't demand payment upfront are not good freelancers.
Greed. Plain and simple.
I told myself I would never get scammed and lost $90 from a kid that I went to high school with.
It seems like the reason is because we're at the top of a bubble and it's time for a great crash.
Crypto-Depression is very real.
NFT’s are the CDO’s or junk bonds of the 2020’s.
Title reminds me of the lyrics:
"The sale of pills are at an all time high"
from the Temptations' song Ball of Confusion.
That's what the world is today, hey, hey...
I was scammed by a biotech company called GATACA based in Newport, VA. The CEO hired me as a 1099 contractor to do some bioinformatics work for them. I did the work, complete with executive summaries of everything I did (in nice html markdown style, written in layman’s terms specifically for a CEO) and posted the work to their AWS bucket. When I emailed her the detailed invoice, which included the agreed-upon hours (I actually did a bit more but only billed what we agreed to and specifically delineated how every hour was spent), she ghosted me and never paid. I could have taken her to small claims court with my contract in hand, but I likely would have broken even since it was only one month’s work. I can only assume she does this over and over and gets a lot of free work that way.
Isn't a movie Gataca?
Thanks for talking about this sad things. You just made my day more miserable. I want to see more about this downsides.
Lol
You didn't leave the link to the video in the description
Says a lot about the morality of small business owners when they complain about people not wanting to work only to turn around and beg the government for bailouts
“Here’s why this is 9 minutes of clickbait and 20 seconds of explaining”
At work we have received all kinds of scammy emails some pretending to be from banks trying to send us a form, funnily enough the bank doesn't even exist in our country. Also we receive proof of payment scams where someone is trying to send you a proof of payment attachment. When you open the attachment you will receive a log in form saying that the attachment is 'secured' and needs your email address and password to log in to view the attachment.
You should include a link to the video you recommend at the end. Takes too much work for most people to scroll through all your videos to find the wolf of wallstreet one
Check your billing statements even if you are using autopay. I found a slew of charges that seemed legit. I've had double charges from legit purchases/bills post but several days apart. I get two alerts when my card is charged; one for pending charges and one for posted charges. I wasn't paying close attention and charges I thought were just posting were actually new charges. Then I've been charged for add on services I didn't even have access to. Most of us lose money from legit companies and they get away with it because they know we all are not paying attention.
Hey mate, could you add a link to that video of yours you are mentioning at the end?
I watched all 10 min and at no point did you explain how this is a good thing
Fraud itself is not good. The good thing is that it's reported and people are more aware of it.
Honestly if you are buying nft or crypto. If you get scammed you deserve the reward of failure. You tried to gamble and lost but instead of buying a lotto ticket you invested your money. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
Eliminate mlm companies
The guy at 9:39 looks like Ne-Yo lol
that feeling when you watching "How Money Works" and it reminds you on every singe supermarket or retailer store 😎besides everything in between 🙄
🧐Fiduciary Responsible: if you sell people crypto and NFT - you will kill the market. It’s over.
😎Crypto Currency: I understand.
🧐Fiduciary Responsible: And you are selling something which you know has no value.
🤬Crypto currency: we are selling to willing buyers at the fair market price so that WE MAY SURVIVE.
We do not live in a free market
I mean, number 1 rule::: you should never have to pay money to earn money if there’s a role where you have to report to anybody.
Unless you’re opening a legit small business
I find it quite funny that the ad I had to watch for this video was an obvious crypto trading scam 😄
My garage is ripping me off.
