I've been teaching my family about scams to protect them, and my uncle actually kept a scammer busy on the phone for almost an hour just for fun. I'm kinda proud of him. It was a "help me grandpa, I'm in jail" call but he doesn't have kids.
"Help me grandpa, I'm in jail"... How is this even supposed to work? Doesn't it set off alarm bells for almost anyone when their grandkid suddenly has a heavy foreign accent and the bail bondsman wants gift cards and not something normal like a check?
@@joemck85 Well to be honest THAT Scam, many other Grandparent Scams and actually all Scams target elder People. Many unfortunately mentally degenerate over Time und become a lot more gullible and easier to manipulate.
Someone said something like,"A Scammer called my phone claiming to be my Grandson in financial trouble. I said to the Scammer,"I'm a 13 year old Virgin. Nice try, Scammer!" The Scammer hung up. Interesting. LOL! 🤣"
The amount of times this scammer has said “the FedEx delivery driver is going to deliver your package 📦 to you today” and “I swear to god almighty” is mind blowing
It's hilarious that they think someone would believe that FedEx is going to hand deliver $62,000 in a box lmao like come on, do these scammers seriously not understand how dumb that sounds? Like why wouldn't they just mail a check? Lmao
@@CleanupKrew7 You actually have to be careful because allot of these scams involve sending you a check usually for allot more than they said and ask you to please send back the extra Okay 😂😂 Of course the check will be accepted at your bank just in time for the fake check to bounce and cost you allot.
I was a customer service manager at Walmart for a few years. We as well as all cashiers receive actual training about these scams. All cashiers are entitled to refuse transactions if they think it's a scam.
Good. Front line awareness is awesome and sharing with your friends and relatives is important. So many people have been hurt by these scams, we need to make it normal when you pick up the phone, you need to be on guard.
He stuck with his lie until the bitter end even when called out.. and with a story so full of holes it could hold no water.. Great work calling out these scams..
They probably can't speak good enough English to go off script, I bet it's the only English some of these scammers speak and they don't know what they are saying, or they use the old excuse of 'you rich, me poor'.
You have the best anti scammer videos out there, hands down. This time I was actually laughing out loud, I couldn't help it. The little musical notes playing in the back round makes these so good to watch.Entertainment and informative extraordinaire.
How Ben did this without laughing is beyond me. My ribs hurt. Surely, surely Jenkins hasn’t scammed anyone despite his incredible personality and business skills.
I've had these scams tried on me too, and I drove the scammer OUT OF HIS MIND. By the end of our little conversation he was cursing like a sailor at me. It was such fun. =)
What a COMPLETE MORON the guy claiming to be Jenkins IS!!!!! He blew a MASSIVE opportunity to turn his life around by earning an honest day's wages!!! Seeing as there is NO WAY IN HELL an English speaking company would make THAT MANY grammatical errors, the wording in the messages is another way you way you can tell automatically whether or not someone's trying to rip you off!!!!

I once had a scammer call me. When he asked for my name, I told him it was Freddy Kruger (from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies). I then asked him if his information showed that I still live on Elm Street, and he said yes. I then said, "I am just asking, because living on Elm Street is a nightmare!" He was totally clueless...lol!!! 😂😂😂
You’ve influenced me to scambait as well, on a much smaller scale lol but the satisfaction gained from showing them their IP address from grabify is amazing. I’ve also tried the tactic of asking them to admit it’s a scam when the convo comes close to an end and offer them $20 if they just admit it. I get blocked every single time at that point 😂😂😂
Ohh nice! If you upload vids I'll have to check them out. My one bit of advice would be to offer the 20 dollars first by saying something like "Hey, would you like 20 dollars?" and *then* you call them out as a scammer and offer them the 20 if they admit it. That way they haven't hung up on you before you've made the offer which it seems like they keep doing lol

I have watched your channel, and a couple of other anti-scammer channels for at least a year now. I was always hoping I would get one of these calls, so I could string them along and make a game of it. I finally got a call that was clearly an Indian call center a couple months ago. I could hear all the foreign chatter in the background, as he explained to me that he was from the IRS and saw that there was a significant error in my refund amount, and that he was calling me to correct the error and refund the money I deserved. He, of course had a heavily Indian accent, but his name was Mike. I tried, I really tried to quickly think of some persona and story like you guys do, but knowing it was a scammer, and I was at my work, and he actually asked if I was in front of my home computer or my work computer, I couldn't do it. I should have prepared for that kind of call, but only ever got fake bank calls on my cell phone, this was a new one. I tried to talk to him, but kept laughing as I tried to make something up, then I just gave up and hung up on him. Lesson learned. If you want to mess with them, have a cover story, a name, an occupation and all the rest prepared in advance, so you can be believable. I thought with my creativity I could make it up all on the fly, but that is wrong for most people, since you are not expecting the call. You must think like a spy and already have all that stuff thought out in advance and can reply without hesitation. I don't know if I have the time for that, but I'm glad people like you and the other anti-scammers do!!!
It's actually really easy lol but it's okay your next one will go better. You just have to be good at communication. But obviously lie your heart out 🤣
@@shannondavies2405 And I don’t think you understand the word ‘only’. Even if most ‘Americans’ spell the word okay just as ok, most English speakers do not live in the USA. In other words just because most Americans spell it that way doesn’t mean most English speakers do.

I bet that's due to people letting their guard down and just writing off a couple hundred bucks as a bad experience, the scammers know this and that's how they get rich, also a hundred for you is probably equivalent to a thousand for them.
@@saigyl9149 i always thought ppl wld OBVIOUSLY realise the Lord/lady thing was a scam ... but was so surprised when I found out that a few ppl i met in UK actually fell for it AND still to this day believe it! I just did not have the heart to break their bubble...also met someone who still struggles to accept that Johnny Depp scam she fell for was not real. "Johnny's agent" was setting up a meet and greet with "full service" after (u know what I mean) ...for payment ... gift cards ofc ... but fortunately the person i met was not able to afford it. Many ppl told her its a scam but she really really believes JD is in love with her.
The bible a few verses later also talk about what types of people its completely okay to take and enslave someone for life as the slave owners property and they can be not only passed onto your children but that you can beat them so much that if the slave dies within a day or two the slave owner doesnt get punished because the slave is his money his property then theres ways to trick indentured Jewish servants into being your slave for life by giving the indentured Jewish servant a wife with them having a kid and after the year of jubilee is up which is every 50 years the indentured Jewish servant can leave but the kids and wife stay and if the indentured Jewish servant wishes to stay with his family the indentured Jewish servant will be taken to the religious leaders of the town and have an oar pierced in his ear marking the indentured Jewish servant as his now permanent slave for life.... You'd think jesus in the new testament would say not to own slaves but he says absolutely nothing. The best we get is when jesus says all 635+ laws and commandments are perfect in his eyes and he did not come to change a jot or tittle of the law until the second coming plus Paul formally Saul more or less the founder of Christianity said slaves obey your masters especially the cruel ones soo...... Yeah......

I was interested in trying the cereal. It looks good. Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending $10 on a box of cereal. Max I would be willing to spend is about $5 per box.
He is like to Paul Harvey on UA-cam. One minute you are listening to a scam half a world away, and the next you are suddenly hungry for Magic Spoon cereal and don't know why. Mrs. Dover needs to keep an eye on this slick guy.
It be nice if we can hold phone companies, email providers, as well businesses accountable for not warning their customers enough or simply just hosting/providing scam numbers/communications
Are you serious? If that's the case, then we should start holding Walmart and Target accountable for selling the kitchen knives that people use to murder other people. 🤦🏽♂️

There is another scam going on from Nigeria and Las Vegas, Nevada. There is someone claiming to be Rory Feek, who is a country singer from Tennessee. He is scamming people by asking for money for a supposed, "lifetime membership" to his supposed fan club. He is telling people that they need to pay $530.00 for this membership. He was also asking for people's bank account info. There are scammers now pretending to be celebrities. How far will these scammers go? It's disgusting.
I had this exact same scam happen to me. They showed boxes of cash. And tried to make it seem real. I didn't buy into it. So fake. Keep it up the good work you do Ben.
These scammers repeat the same lies over and over enough that they started to believe in them. There is no doubt in his mind that he is not scamming you.
I really enjoy your videos because they’re so well done. Thank you for the work that you’re doing and not only dealing with the scammers but providing us with this information so we can learn to protect ourselves. Thank you and God bless.
I'm a Nigerian and at 7:28, you could tell he's a Nigerian, what he spoke is one of our many languages (Yoruba). The person who said it was trying to say "You are Mad" 😂😂😂 Keep doing your good work Pleasant Green. Love your videos....by the way someone emailed me concerning $30M inheritance 😂😂I've watched one of your videos addressing those kind of scams so I knew right away!!
Hello Ben, you are doing a nice work bro, please keep it up. From the dude's dictions I knew he was from Nigeria because I'm a Nigerian. Too bad he wants the $200 but he is not willing to work or be truthful to himself, he is a lazy fellow. It pains me to hear how they give my country a bad... I love your channel❤
I am so glad that there are people who are willing to put up with the BS that these scammers try to pull. I would be using very bad language on those idiots and hanging up in a matter of seconds!
First he's in New York then he says he's in California. hahahahaha I've gotten so many scam calls it's ridiculous. I've never sent them money but I was nervous as to if they were real or not, at first. But then like this guy, they start sounding too desperate and then I know. But now I've got my phone set up to block most scam calls. It's really cool seeing your videos and knowing that I made the right call to call out those stupid people. Several times I would pick up on certain things in the call and then hang up. I never knew who I could report them to, though.
Always so reassuring when people insist on telling me they're not running a scam but are in fact totally legit! They never have a back up plan, or the ability to make up a reasonable explanation.
Dear Mr. Green. Thank you for your videos. I'm a bit uninitiated with scams and you saved me from all but one. I got scammed out of 20$ once, started watching your videos, and now I have not fallen for any scams since! Thank you again for providing an educational service to the UA-cam community. PS: I'm one of those people who have a bunch of college degrees and graduate with honors but lack street smarts so this channel has helped me develop a foundation to learn some street smarts upon.
Love how ben offers to actually pay these clowns if they will do some real work. Keep up the good work Mr ben! Also, okay. Also I would love to work for you! :)

@@SFlare2 I enjoyed your facetious reply to that comment! Very well played 🤣
I bet that's due to people letting their guard down and just writing off a couple hundred bucks as a bad experience, the scammers know this and that's how they get rich, also a hundred for you is probably equivalent to a thousand for them.
$10 a box for breakfast food? They must have seen you coming! smh 🤣
Box? That emplies its full
Are they not usually about half full
they're charging $10 for a box of cereal!? that's almost as bad as the 1ft² plot of land for a title scam
@@saigyl9149 i always thought ppl wld OBVIOUSLY realise the Lord/lady thing was a scam ... but was so surprised when I found out that a few ppl i met in UK actually fell for it AND still to this day believe it! I just did not have the heart to break their bubble...also met someone who still struggles to accept that Johnny Depp scam she fell for was not real. "Johnny's agent" was setting up a meet and greet with "full service" after (u know what I mean) ...for payment ... gift cards ofc ... but fortunately the person i met was not able to afford it. Many ppl told her its a scam but she really really believes JD is in love with her.
@@saigyl9149 at least this is just overpriced and not a scam. Also someone somewhere may actually find this cereal enjoyable.
The voice he put on as the Walmart customer service 😂 thanks Ben
That scammer broke the Commandments: “Thou shalt not steal” & “Thou shalt not lie”
😂😂
@ISCARI0T It is though. If you ask someone to give you $200 for something you will never deliver, then you have stolen $200.
@ISCARI0T
Very interesting name the LORD rebuke you
Also "Thou shall not take the Lord's name in vain". All that swearing on the Lord that everything was real and true.
The bible a few verses later also talk about what types of people its completely okay to take and enslave someone for life as the slave owners property and they can be not only passed onto your children but that you can beat them so much that if the slave dies within a day or two the slave owner doesnt get punished because the slave is his money his property then theres ways to trick indentured Jewish servants into being your slave for life by giving the indentured Jewish servant a wife with them having a kid and after the year of jubilee is up which is every 50 years the indentured Jewish servant can leave but the kids and wife stay and if the indentured Jewish servant wishes to stay with his family the indentured Jewish servant will be taken to the religious leaders of the town and have an oar pierced in his ear marking the indentured Jewish servant as his now permanent slave for life....
You'd think jesus in the new testament would say not to own slaves but he says absolutely nothing. The best we get is when jesus says all 635+ laws and commandments are perfect in his eyes and he did not come to change a jot or tittle of the law until the second coming plus Paul formally Saul more or less the founder of Christianity said slaves obey your masters especially the cruel ones soo...... Yeah......
I am African, and no African person with the name Jenkins 🤣🤣 and background noise is local west African language 😂
Could you imagine the store employee being like “mm it’s probably a scam” & then you say “well he swears to god almighty” & the employee is like “ok nice, go ahead” lmfao
I get these lottery winnings all the time or some dying person is contacting me to inherit their wealth or I can claim some special benefits for US American citizens. When I tell them I’m in Germany the whole thing is all of a sudden international. You really made fun of this guy - thank you for sharing this, it was hilarious!
I have been watching these all day and each one makes me want to mess with scammers more and more.
He's ending every message with "okay", those are some red flags right there
Most scammers always say okay
M.kay.M.kay
okay
most Americans don't even spell it that way.
The horrible grammar as well.
I can tell he was Nigerian. Just by ending every sentence with “okay”. 😭😭😂
I also love playing along till its time to expose them across all media. Trust me I also make them BendOver 😂 great job Ben 👏🏼
You know it’s a great video when you even enjoy the sponsored content. Great stuff, Ben
Ik
Didn't even have to do a grabify link for this one 😂😂😂
Why bother xD
@@LouisianaBurns IKR it was too obvious lol
Lmao fr I’m Nigerian and this one was so obvious from the moment he started saying okay with each sentence
I always reply to them "just take the fee from my winnings, I don't mind"
I love the way you glide into an ad for cereal. You are always funny.
Love how you break down the scammers you bait... great job 👏 👍
The use of “okay” is always funny to me
I like how they always add 'okay', that's how you know it's legit
certainly🤣😂😅
Thank you 🙏🏽 Pleasant Green for walking us through on how to avoid being scammed.
This scammer's voice annoyed the HELL out of me. It sounded like he was talking with his mouth full while also being drunk. lol
I admire you always staying calm and respectful
I was interested in trying the cereal. It looks good. Unfortunately, I cannot justify spending $10 on a box of cereal. Max I would be willing to spend is about $5 per box.
Same
Honestly 🤣
And that's probably disgusting, I'll stick to my sugar filled cereals
@@timsworld9342 lots of healthy cereals available for about $3.
It’s a scam 😅
“I’m from New York, I swear to God”…”No,
I’m not in Nigeria, I already told you I’m from California” 😂
Wow, that segue to magic spoon was smooth :D
He is like to Paul Harvey on UA-cam. One minute you are listening to a scam half a world away, and the next you are suddenly hungry for Magic Spoon cereal and don't know why. Mrs. Dover needs to keep an eye on this slick guy.
Love the way you transition Ben! No one does it the way you do. So effortless and sleek.
It be nice if we can hold phone companies, email providers, as well businesses accountable for not warning their customers enough or simply just hosting/providing scam numbers/communications
Are you serious? If that's the case, then we should start holding Walmart and Target accountable for selling the kitchen knives that people use to murder other people. 🤦🏽♂️
Such a cool channel! I love these turn-around videos. I wish he would have accepted the work from you, Ben.
lol, Magic Spoon Cereal - and $5 off? Damn that must be some expensive cereal! That's better than the lottery scam. I'll stick to the Dollar Tree $1.25 goodness! Thanks for the chuckle, dude! Subbed and thumbs-up for that one!
Wait - let me guess - shipping is at least $15.00! It doesn't get any better than this! Gold flakes too? LOL!
@@billstill1794 Don't want it? Don't order it. Simple.
$40 for 4 boxes.
@@SmoloTHEKloWn What a rip off, the fact that I was considering buying this is terrible until I saw the price
@@andysstuff1 and it’s not even big boxes either. Just small standard ones.
There is another scam going on from Nigeria and Las Vegas, Nevada. There is someone claiming to be Rory Feek, who is a country singer from Tennessee. He is scamming people by asking for money for a supposed, "lifetime membership" to his supposed fan club. He is telling people that they need to pay $530.00 for this membership. He was also asking for people's bank account info. There are scammers now pretending to be celebrities. How far will these scammers go? It's disgusting.
How do you know that it's from Nigeria?
I had this exact same scam happen to me. They showed boxes of cash. And tried to make it seem real.
I didn't buy into it.
So fake.
Keep it up the good work you do Ben.
Love the videos, thanks for enjoying us while bored and teaching some people how to avoid scams :)
I love how he says “oh-kay” every time, it’s great
These scammers repeat the same lies over and over enough that they started to believe in them. There is no doubt in his mind that he is not scamming you.
His Walmart manager impression is top tier XD.
Your response of "As soon as I see the Fed Ex person of unspecified gender" is hilarious!
I really enjoy your videos because they’re so well done. Thank you for the work that you’re doing and not only dealing with the scammers but providing us with this information so we can learn to protect ourselves. Thank you and God bless.
I just love how you are with these scammers! Thanks!
Can I get help from you?
So while he is tellin us about the Scam he is scamming us with the CORNFLAKES🤣😂
Should’ve told him to take the fee from the money you won lol 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I'm a Nigerian and at 7:28, you could tell he's a Nigerian, what he spoke is one of our many languages (Yoruba). The person who said it was trying to say "You are Mad" 😂😂😂
Keep doing your good work Pleasant Green. Love your videos....by the way someone emailed me concerning $30M inheritance 😂😂I've watched one of your videos addressing those kind of scams so I knew right away!!
I love that not a single one of these scammers have been able to type a proper sentence.
Just like you.
Hello Ben, you are doing a nice work bro, please keep it up. From the dude's dictions I knew he was from Nigeria because I'm a Nigerian. Too bad he wants the $200 but he is not willing to work or be truthful to himself, he is a lazy fellow. It pains me to hear how they give my country a bad... I love your channel❤
The way he just kept saying “Yes because we have the fed ex delivery man that is going to deliver your winning package to you okay” LOL 😂
I love your vids and the sense of humor throughout the videos 😃
It's always a Pleasant day when PG uploads!
I love how he always says "okay" 😅😅
I am so glad that there are people who are willing to put up with the BS that these scammers try to pull. I would be using very bad language on those idiots and hanging up in a matter of seconds!
First he's in New York then he says he's in California. hahahahaha
I've gotten so many scam calls it's ridiculous. I've never sent them money but I was nervous as to if they were real or not, at first. But then like this guy, they start sounding too desperate and then I know. But now I've got my phone set up to block most scam calls. It's really cool seeing your videos and knowing that I made the right call to call out those stupid people.
Several times I would pick up on certain things in the call and then hang up. I never knew who I could report them to, though.
some of the major companies such as Amazon have their own reporting lines, so you can report scams to them and they can warn their customers.
How to know it's a scam. Every sentence ends with okay lol
8:56 lol as a nigerian, the inaudible parts were him saying: "I can't hurt a human being like me..."
Boy, the audacity! 😂
7:28 the guy screamed 'are you mad' in the native language of Yoruba.😄😄😄😄
"okay shut up and listen to me" lmfao
Always so reassuring when people insist on telling me they're not running a scam but are in fact totally legit!
They never have a back up plan, or the ability to make up a reasonable explanation.
Dear Mr. Green. Thank you for your videos. I'm a bit uninitiated with scams and you saved me from all but one. I got scammed out of 20$ once, started watching your videos, and now I have not fallen for any scams since! Thank you again for providing an educational service to the UA-cam community.
PS: I'm one of those people who have a bunch of college degrees and graduate with honors but lack street smarts so this channel has helped me develop a foundation to learn some street smarts upon.
hi
Love how ben offers to actually pay these clowns if they will do some real work. Keep up the good work Mr ben! Also, okay. Also I would love to work for you! :)
Jenkins Clifton sounds like the name of a Scooby Doo villian
😂 Happen to me last week! I knew right away that it’s a scam. Beware everyone.
