One of the perks of getting older (for me) is realizing the paramount importance of vetting carefully with whom you associate. Two minutes into a conversation with this guy and I would've wished him the best of luck and moved on.
sleep a couple of months out on the street with no protection and no food in a foreign poor country thats extremly hot - and lets see how much sense you make if a you tube gives you a chance to get out of this mess
A great lesson in why you don’t go into business with regular Joe’s. Keep your money safe from friends, family, and “investments”. Instead give them “thoughts and prayers” 😂and send them on their way.
Some people like to fidget. It's a bad habit, but not usually an indicator of anything serious. Some people twiddle their thumbs. And hand movement when talking has always been common and normal. I do animation, and I make a lot of my characters move their hands when talking to give them more life. Look at animation or movies and see how common hand movement is when people talk. I can't believe I have to explain this to an adult.
Don’t rely on your phone to keep all your important data, either, unless you can get like n IPhone that keeps it in the cloud where you can transfer to your new one.
@@smashy_smasherton All Android and iOS-based phones have a cloud backup. That's about 99.9% of the global smartphone market (around 30% IOS, and about about 70% Android) - so you don't need an “iPhone” for that 😊
@@smashy_smasherton Sadly, even iPhones are easily broken by the criminals. Many videos about people, including Philly in the Philippines wife, had their phone's stolen and within an hour, the crooks had changed passwords to their bank accounts, email and social media accounts.
Exactly, all the distractions about a fight don't matter. They are just part of the attempt to cement his place as victim. The guy lost his bag, end of story.
@@teresitasagorsor7438 the young guy did not engage the old guy. They don't usually engage people who are obviously have a distant or unempathetic look about them.
You don't just come out to the Philippines or any other country unless you have regular money coming into your account you can access if things go bad!
1) You have no business being out of your own home country. 2) Contact a family member. Have them send you some $$$ via western union or moneygram. 3) buy a one way ticket back home. 4) No. No more BS, excuses, etc. Just do it. 5) Good Luck and Good Bye.
@@johnlacey3857pretty sure they’re referring specifically to this guy, in this circumstance. PH doesn’t need more poverty. This guy is destitute. He isn’t any other nation’s responsibility.
Scott, I really commend you for feeling for this guy and his situation. I myself am a sensitive guy and feel for people like this all the time. I have also learned the hard way that people like this are also like land mines that blow up and incapacitate anyone around them without a second thought. Tread carefully, buddy.
Let's get real. Every other day, there's some UK expat broke and trying to get home. Some American expat in trouble with the law. Some Aussi expat broken up from a bar fight. And don't forget the Filapino with a ukulele begging for food while the Brit tells his tale. Sure makes me want to drop everything and go to the PI.... NOT. I'll stay home.
these foreigner types are on the fringe in the Philippines .. easy to avoid and not get involved with .. usually alcoholism is the big factor with these individuals
When I was in the Philippines I always used a hidden wallet that was hung around my neck and under my clothes. I also had secret pockets sewn into my pants. It's really just common sense to keep your money and your passport safe, which he did not. He was was probably drinking and getting drunk and that's probably what happened to him.
You can make excuses for the PI all you want, but it doesn't measure up. I live better and just as cheap in one of the most scenic and cleanest states in the country. The last thing I need is a 25 yr old sweet but simple young thing cluttering up my life. And you can bet I won't live in a 3rd world country just to have one.
What he's saying doesn't make sense pertaining to his bank app. If he forgot his password, he can reset it. Surely he has access to his email address listed on the app. An account?? He would then receive the access code through his email address. Listed on his account, an app. And then be able to reset his password.. Two many excuses from the guy, I wouldn't trust him..
Nope--both of my bank accounts require my local (USA) cell # (T-mobile) for receiving the access code. If the original cell phone was stolen, then there will be no access to bank accounts. Only my 401k account used email for access codes. This is an issue for a lot of people traveling overseas who get stuff stolen (laptop, cell phone, ID's) and get locked out of accessing their money even if they purchase a new cell phone at their overseas location.
@@napoleonmdusa8877 Yes, try to set up your banking business so you can use a VPN, verify with email, a Voip Phone number (like Magicjack, Google voice, etc), and use a virtual mailbox as your home address. Not foolproof, but test it before you move. You will need to access your financial accounts! Another possible way is to have a friend back home host a cell number and relay the access codes. It can be tricky living here!
From personal experience some banks will only use a phone text and not email validation due to security protection. I was trying to transfer money from my United Staes bank accounts to a Phillipine account for a Permanent Visa bank deposit. It was impossible bwcause my US phone was out of the US network I chose by mistake ( Cricket Wireless does not have sevice in PI). Finally had a family member make the deposit for me. My bank accounts are so "secure" that I cant even access them😂.
Being british myself....What is true is that if he doesnt have his phone with a british sim card, he cant enter his british bank account because he cant receive the verification code on SMS.
This is exactly the kind of guy you want to steer clear of in the Philippines I ran across a couple of them just like this one there's maybe a 10% chance he's telling the truth and I'm being generous because if I was in that situation I have a 100 people I could call and I would be in good shape again within hours
Scotty Boy, This is a sad story at face value. But the first Red Flag was the part when Chis said he had been to several bars drinking! I am sure that excessive alcohol played a big part in this story! I wish him all the best and maybe he will learn from his mistakes. Wishing You all the best on your Journey to Angeles. Keep up the great work my friend and stay safe out there!👍
I stayed at the Parklane hotel. It was nice, pool was a joke but good food at the restaurant was good. A block from Ayala mall. So this guy bought a phone but doesn't have a sim. Should have used the money to Manila. So many holes in his story.
Nice to see you out and about Scotty, I like Cantonese people, almost married a lovely girl from Hong Kong, ( I met her here in Australia) But the Girl from iloilo ( the one I married ) is very Special ( there are no words..You would have to meet her, ) together 35 years on the 19 th june
And the locals don't tell you a bunch of malarkey of why you should give them money? You do not sound very experienced in life in the Philippines - not in life in general.
@@edwinholcombe2741You sound bitter. No Filipino ever told me I should give them money. There was a propensity for some to want to hang out with me just because I was Cano. Never did I feel used. That's on you, if you got used.
Of course I had to go to his page and check it out. Looks like he has been there since March 22. Post shows, "goodbye crue l world, see you in a couple of weeks." Doesn't say anything about a girlfriend, business partner, or anything else. Then on March 23 he posted, "way colder, no longer hot hot hot." That was posted from Chester-le-Street, United Kingdom. April 5 "With my brother Happy Christopher" then Apr 5 "Mind clear, back to work." Last post May 4.
@6:10 if he card was stolen in the Philippines, they blocked it there. He just needs to use it in the UK to unblock it. Doesn't make a lot if sense if it was stolen because he can't use it in the UK.
His story sounds complicated but as a human being, I would assist him in getting back to the embassy. It’s not like he’s just sitting there begging for money. He actually wants a ticket back to Manila so he can go to his embassy and get back home. I’ve been to the Philippines a couple of times and I’m always worried the same thing is going to happen to me because I carry a good amount of cash. I usually try to lock it in the safe in my room, but I know that’s not even safe.
A month ago I stumbled across across middle aged man at the jollybee close to the VA facility on Roxas. He had on new tennis shoes, new hat. Had a backpack. fat, overweight. said he lost his phone, and his wallet was stolen with IDs. said he was a vet, but had a very noticeable lazy eye. needed to get back to Cebu via ferry for 2000 pesos. told him sorry for his situation, gave him 200 pesos and siad get to the US embassy and hopefully they can help. He took the money but acted pissed off I didnt help him more. Like as if I totally needed to fix his problem. gf felt he was sketchy. idk.
I know that guy with the glasses, I saw him in Nanning China. I had a girlfriend in Nanning for two years when I worked off and on in China. I worked in China for eight years until November 2019. I would work there for two months at a time, three times a year. I had many beautiful girlfriends in China. I have a filapina girlfriend now twenty years younger than me, Im 58 ,shes 38. I had girlfriends in China anywhere from 12 to 18 years younger than me. Big difference between Chinese and Filapina women. Chinese women mostly all have money where as your filapina girlfriend you will most likely have to give money to and her family sometimes. Chinese women dress very nice all the time, almost to the point of over dressing sometimes. Its hard to explain, they definitely take care of there man. There much quieter in public and no PDA. There completely different when the doors ade closed. Its just a completely different society. I will say there are so many beautiful women in China, with a population of 1.4 billion, its no wonder.
I've learned over the years when some type of people get confronted with a tough question, they tend to not only put blame on others, they prop themselves up as a victim
There might be some mental issues here . I sense something is not right . Just my humble opinion. I hope 🤞 the guy gets back to his home country. Broke in the Philippines 🇵🇭 is a dangerous situation !!!!!
Alana i'm so sorry for replying to you late... so so so sorry... you made the extra effort and I didn't i'm sorry. I'm settled into angeles city now for 6 months so its kind of a dream come true. just kinda wish I didn't choose angeles but oh well. I came here because my friend got me an unit next to his unit and he made everything easy for me... but Alana thanks again
I lived in China for 7 years, Its a great place , Only the Americans complained about the Language Barrier, Visa is easier, opening a bank account no problem, I have been to the Philippines many times, The people are not the most energetic, Takes forever to get anything done, As for old retired Foreigners Their money goes further and they can get a very young girl , live on their pension, That would never happen in China. They also have the best infrastructure in the world,
@@philmcleod111hi, Phil. Different product. Plastic coated rebar is a legit product. Chinese made Tofu Dreg rebar is made from plastic and is only plastic. Apparently the contracts have fixed prices that are too low, so the contractors have to cheat to cut corners to make a profit. My source is The China Show channel. I seem to remember that the plastic coated rebar was found to be substandard due to not gripping the concrete sufficiently. Can't remember my source for that.
8.5K PHP for a shared room (8pax) just a bed and communal CR....sounds a bit expensive to me....I know people paying less for a private place in makati....hmm
Being british myself....What is true is that if he doesnt have his phone with a british sim card, he cant enter his british bank account because he cant receive the verification code on SMS.
Hey Scotty you look well.😊I have heard this guys story on so many channels. Not really his story, but identical stories. Drinking is usually involved. Same story in the US as there.
I'm confused as he said his hostel has great WiFi and then he says he can't use his phone as he has no WiFi because he has no SIM but I've used WiFi in Cebu on my phone which had no SIM. What he said about the UK embassy is partially true. They will pay for your flight but only for extreme cases, apart from that they will just help your family by passing on money but also he claims to have friends like a actor, a general yet he is asking for help on yt. None of it makes sense.
I wear a sling bag, with the bag in front! I never remove it in public! Basic security there ... With that ID, he should be able to receive through PayPal?
Don't waste your money frivolously. If he needs mental health, sure, get him the help he needs. But, it seems like he is just going to sell the same story to another expat tomorrow.
A bit of advice... Stay independent in the Philippines Stay private in the Philippines Never start or attempt business in the Philippines Your duty to the Philippines, as you are a guest is to be a legal tourist and nothing more or less
haha I've talked with this guy in the blue t-shirt. He sat down next to me in a bar in mango square area. Piss drunk, started talking weird stuff and wanted my shirt for some reason. He started ordering lots of drinks for the both of us, I kept saying no. I talked with the bartenders as i found it weird, they said he probably wouldn't pay the bill. Guess what, he didn't, he just walked out. He gave me a sobby story as well about how unlucky he had been but that nothing was his fault. That was several months ago.
Sad story. The fella is a bit touched but that isn't his fault. There should be services from embassies to help their stranded and down and out citizens but that doesn't seem to be the reality.

Hey man sorry i'm late to reply... i've had a busy trip up north but i'm all settled in now... thanks a lot for the breakfast and dinner my friend
😬 I bet this guy had big issues before he left his home country 🙀
Probably sold them as well
Anyone who talks that much, and that fast, isn't to be trusted!
Three sides to every story. You hit the nail on head, SB!
Poor Pinocchio….Reminds me of a saying we would use in Elementary School…”Liar, Liar, pants on fire. Nose is as long as a telephone wire.” 🤥
He is sus.......... Do not trust him.
guy tell truth... its special place..
I find it hillarious that the guy in the white shirt was just sitting there for half the interview lol
Yes I like waking up to a Regular Guy Video! 😅😊
Missed your travel video's. Learned so much about the Philippines through you traveling around.
Agreed 💯👍
Someone needs to get to the Consulate in Manila. TRUST NO ONE. I wish him the best.
This guy sounds insane. He was about to tell us he got abducted by aliens 😂
I've learned over the years when some type of people get confronted with a tough question, they tend to not only put blame on others, they prop themselves up as a victim
There might be some mental issues here . I sense something is not right . Just my humble opinion. I hope 🤞 the guy gets back to his home country. Broke in the Philippines 🇵🇭 is a dangerous situation !!!!!
The only thing I’d give this guy is distance between the two of us.
great line I will remember it thanks
Thanks! Safe travels! Have some fun wherever you go!
Alana i'm so sorry for replying to you late... so so so sorry... you made the extra effort and I didn't i'm sorry. I'm settled into angeles city now for 6 months so its kind of a dream come true. just kinda wish I didn't choose angeles but oh well. I came here because my friend got me an unit next to his unit and he made everything easy for me... but Alana thanks again
@@Regular_Guyph my “thanks” are unconditional Scotty. Curious to see how your 6 months in one place works out for you. I hope you find your niche.
I'm the same as everybody else, trouble with people like him is that his troubles are infectious, walk the feck away
Great Vid Scottie !! Glad to have you back !! You are necessary to "the community"...
Obviously I don't know this guy but I think he's lying through his teeth
I lived in China for 7 years, Its a great place , Only the Americans complained about the Language Barrier, Visa is easier, opening a bank account no problem, I have been to the Philippines many times, The people are not the most energetic, Takes forever to get anything done, As for old retired Foreigners Their money goes further and they can get a very young girl , live on their pension, That would never happen in China. They also have the best infrastructure in the world,
Dunno if the infrastructure is good in China, lots of Tofu Dreg stuff, like imitation plastic rebar!
@@johngreen1907 As for the plastic rebar, its plastic coated keeps it from rusting ,Its used all around the world . Look it up.
@@philmcleod111hi, Phil.
Different product.
Plastic coated rebar is a legit product.
Chinese made Tofu Dreg rebar is made from plastic and is only plastic.
Apparently the contracts have fixed prices that are too low, so the contractors have to cheat to cut corners to make a profit.
My source is The China Show channel.
I seem to remember that the plastic coated rebar was found to be substandard due to not gripping the concrete sufficiently. Can't remember my source for that.
@@johngreen1907 if you get your information from Sepentza ,your getting false information,
8.5K PHP for a shared room (8pax) just a bed and communal CR....sounds a bit expensive to me....I know people paying less for a private place in makati....hmm
Amazing what Guinness can do to brain cells.
Yeah we sold the English a dummy loll
Being british myself....What is true is that if he doesnt have his phone with a british sim card, he cant enter his british bank account because he cant receive the verification code on SMS.
I go by one rule, every person who comes to you with a sob story or plays the violin for you is in all likely hood a scammer
For great content about the Philippines 🇵🇭…. Watch “ Regular Guy “ Scotty is our man in the Philippines ❤
Hey Scotty you look well.😊I have heard this guys story on so many channels. Not really his story, but identical stories. Drinking is usually involved. Same story in the US as there.
Hey Scotty. I don't normally comment but I'm just happy to see you back. You're doing some good stuff over there.
Sometimes trouble follows some people......those people tend to be trouble also.
Old farmer's rule: Stay away especially from expats of your own nationality when your are abroad. And from the others you better stay away as well. 😜
Great to see a post finally Scotty Boy. We missed you. Don’t have time for your marathon live shows so glad to see this post. Interesting.
I'm confused as he said his hostel has great WiFi and then he says he can't use his phone as he has no WiFi because he has no SIM but I've used WiFi in Cebu on my phone which had no SIM. What he said about the UK embassy is partially true. They will pay for your flight but only for extreme cases, apart from that they will just help your family by passing on money but also he claims to have friends like a actor, a general yet he is asking for help on yt. None of it makes sense.
I thought Scotty-Boy told good stories. This guy has outdone even Scotty-Boy!
Patiently waiting for next vid going to start rewatching old vids this is the best channel on UA-cam 🎉🎉🎉
All the best...and thanks for bonus footage
“I lost me lucky charms!”
I would put him on a ferry to Luzon.
And go with him to make sure he gets there.
Just say NO to drugs 👍🏼
Make Regular Guy great again.. stay well Scotty.
Not once did Scotty Boy's expression look like he believed this guy,..because he doesn't and he shouldn't.
I wear a sling bag, with the bag in front! I never remove it in public! Basic security there ... With that ID, he should be able to receive through PayPal?
Scotty you see the black cat next to him. he needs help
🙀🙀🙀
Don't forget to feed the cat!🐈⬛👍
What cat?
He’s really friendly and he’s being fed 🙂
you dont have any IDEA about philippines.
Don't waste your money frivolously. If he needs mental health, sure, get him the help he needs. But, it seems like he is just going to sell the same story to another expat tomorrow.
RUN .
I'm poor can someone please send me a ticket to the Philippines?
😂
A bit of advice...
Stay independent in the Philippines
Stay private in the Philippines
Never start or attempt business in the Philippines
Your duty to the Philippines, as you are a guest is to be a legal tourist and nothing more or less
Or Spouse
Lesson to be learned from this is, always keep everything of value on your person .
If what he says is even true
I don’t need to watch or listen to this guy to learn anything. He needs to go home and never leave again.
@@Ujara HaHa, so true
I LIVE FOR THIS OKAY 💯🤣🤣
Scotty... Great interview. Thanks for posting the video and helping. We are missing you. We wish you great health and safe passage. Great job.
haha I've talked with this guy in the blue t-shirt. He sat down next to me in a bar in mango square area. Piss drunk, started talking weird stuff and wanted my shirt for some reason. He started ordering lots of drinks for the both of us, I kept saying no. I talked with the bartenders as i found it weird, they said he probably wouldn't pay the bill. Guess what, he didn't, he just walked out. He gave me a sobby story as well about how unlucky he had been but that nothing was his fault. That was several months ago.
Love that music, voice, personality, charm, presentation. Look forward to more. You’re a diamond 💎
He lies in five languages.
Heading back to Angeles …nice. Enjoy the trip .. wishing you good weather and a safe ride.
wow a local guy stopped by with only a small guitar in hand, seems he had everything taken as well but the instrument was spared.... 😄
Sad story. The fella is a bit touched but that isn't his fault. There should be services from embassies to help their stranded and down and out citizens but that doesn't seem to be the reality.
