The Bar Girls Scam | American Greed
One of the oldest scam in the books. Pretty women being extra "nice" to a gentleman who looks like he has money. Not only one, but 2 young women looking to offer a good time in one way or another. Obvious red flags. Its' very rare for a young pretty lady to approach a middle-aged man looking for companionship. It is always the other way around.
Well, they spike drinks too, even with young guys, but yeah what you say is true.
I beg to differ a great night turned into a great weekend!
@@raylopez99 That's why you don't drink anything unless you saw the bartender pour it yourself and hand it straight to you.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Very true. Was talking to a bartender in Greece who says you can ask for the spiked drink (and many do) or a straight drink, and it makes no difference to him, he pours whatever you want (the laws are not really enforced during tourist season).
I thought she was trying to fleece me but it turned out she really liked me
i go clubbing with a cheap burner phone with $100 and a prepaid cc loaded with $100
Smart but you're still dancing with the devil.
The fact you go to a club is an issue in itself.
LOL. Me too, except that I am now too old to go clubbing. Love this show though. :-)
Scammers in Miami Beach 🏖️? You don’t say 🤣
Yea imagine our surprise!😂🤣✌️
Like I’ve always said, just because you have money doesn’t mean you’re smart.
PREACH THOSE FACTS, LOVE!!!!
He was business and financial smart possibly book smart but not STREET smart it's a differenxe
Hopefully he had a good time!
Nope. Fools Money for Nothing? Chicks like this are not cheap or free FOOLS.
@@kartierjones6835a big one! Really, to me, street smart equals common sense. That can't be taught!
It’s all these old guys believing they still “got it” lol. If a deal seems too good to be true it is
Yup
The more you hold on to permanence the more suffering you invite
Buddha
Do you know why some successful people are single? They have a hard time trusting 🐕
Don't go to go go clubs, it's simple
your sooooo right…
Never deal with 2 girls at the same time that know each other. Rookie mistake
Big mistake 😔
unless you roofie them before they roofie you teehehe
@@ghostspiritride correct 👍
Probably 2 more guys near them watching
I think the reason why he was an easy target is because he's in the public eye and is used to people being friendly with him. So he probably thought nothing of these two women showing interest in him. I'm not a good looking dude and can probably count on one hand the number of times a woman showed interest in me, so the moment they do, I'm on guard.
For example, many years ago I was leaving work and this BMW pulls up maybe 10 car spaces away from me and this pretty black girl comes out and starts walking to me. I thought she might have been lost, but she starts telling me about investing and I should show up to this invest strategy seminar happening later that night. She told me that's how she was able to afford her BMW. I hated that I was once again proven right. Ain't no pretty woman talking to me unless it's about money, mainly how she's going to get the money in my pocket into hers. I told her no thanks and drove home!
I live in Nashville, TN and this same kind of scam happens to the male tourists down on Lower Broadway also. When the NFL draft came to town, they actually had an organized ring of ladies come down from Miami and scout for men in bars who looked like they had money (ie expensive clothing, wearing Rolex watch or other expensive jewelry, etc). You wouldn't believe how many people get sh$% faced drunk and lose their money, phones, and other valuables.
I was young & dumb once,as Marines we traveled abroad & were ripe for the picking. But this guy looks Worldly.
I think those guys are the easiest targets because they're used to women showing interest in them, so they wouldn't think anything of pretty women being aggressive with them. It's the ugly dudes like me that won't get caught in schemes like this. If you're approaching me, I KNOW you're after my money and maybe my life, so I'd immediately be on guard.
Isn’t Nashville north of Miami? So wouldn’t they be going up to Nashville, not down to Nashville? Just trying to understand, English is not my first language. Thank you!😊
DUDE THINKS HE'S GETTIN' LAID, BUT HE'S REALLY GETTIN' PLAYED, WHILE THE BIOTCHES ARE GETTIN' PAID!😂😂😂
He definitely didn't forecast that
I know I'm not the best looking guy
I am also Asian man
So any girl who give me attention I start being suspicious lol
I am a white guy, and yeah, same here lol
😂
😂
You must think that being an Asian male is a dating handicap. Well it's not. That's left wing Asian propaganda.
And not too mention have a little pee peep 😂
When im in Vegas girls like this approach me constantly. You must understand that girls are very nice to you WHEN THEY WANT YOUR $$$$$
And like a magic show they disappear when your broke. Ta Da.
I am sure he understood that and was willing to be hospitable. That is not the same as being drugged.
And you must also recognize that pretty girls don't need to approach anybody. THEY get approached. So if you have two pretty young girls approaching you, even if you're Brad Pitt, you should at least be on guard. NEVER drink something you didn't see the bartender pour himself.
@@jamess7315 Actually, schemes like this work easier on guys like him. 1. He's moderately good looking. 2. He's in the public eye and people know him. 3. Since he's used to people approaching him, he probably thought nothing of these women approaching him. The only thing that should have caught his attention was that they didn't know him, so now he's just a middle aged dude being approached by two 20 something young girls. 90% of the time, if you have a good looking girl and a good looking guy, it's the guy who has to make the first move. Heck, even if the guy is better looking than the girl, usually no woman is going to throw themselves at the guy. The most they'll do is maybe stare and let the guy know, hey, if you approach me I won't turn you down.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 Truth!
Happened to me once when 18 in the Combat Zone in Boston in the early 1970s. Lady rubbed up against me and asked if I would buy her a drink. My beer cost a buck so I said sure. Her drink cost 7 bucks? With 2 bucks left I got out of there.
How did you ever recover from such a financial loss?
@@NoelBullerLOL, I had to wait to collect from my paper route. Seriously, it was a cheap lesson for a young trusting guy new to the adult world.
Yeah I never buy women drinks at bars, even when asked. Especially these days when they can make more money than me, why would they be asking? 😂
If I was a well known weatherman I def wouldn’t be airing this out on live tv. Lol
It's public knowledge. Might as well set the record straight.
To any girl or guy, don’t trust people just handing you shots. I used to do it and thankfully no one drugged me that way but I got drugged one night when a bartender handed me water which I’m sure said bartender spiked. It’s a cruel cruel world out there and you have to be super vigilant and if anyone is being overly anxious or aggressive or even being super agreeable, don’t trust them. As a female who has travelled alone for many years, you learn that you gotta be super vigilant and don’t trust. Don’t take what people give you, don’t take a ride with someone, don’t give too many details of where you’re staying or living, or how much you make, and always check in with someone you trust. It’s best to give a friend or two access to your location just in case.
What happened after you were drugged , did they do anything to you?
You give some really great advice. It’s unfortunate that so many people have to be educated about this stuff. ✌️
People that get scammed always say how good or smart the scammers were as opposed to the alternative.
I’ve done traveled on business to a dozen countries or so. The standard rule was, “Just because you’re in a different country, doesn’t make you more handsome, funny or intelligent.” Similar scams were tried on me multiple times, but I saw them coming. Unfortunately, some of my co-workers were not as fortunate and got taken for hundreds and one was assaulted.
Maybe not more handsome, funny, or intelligent, but you have American citizenship. Girls may be looking to marry an American, but that does not mean that they are the same as the ones trying to roll you.
@@donsab-xz4so One may take you for a couple of hundred and the other may take you for a couple hundred thousand. In either case, a traveler should be wary at all times.
Oh s*** my credit cards maxed😂
I’m in Tokyo, Japan and this happens a lot in the Kabuki-cho, Roppongi and Ginza districts. That’s why I don’t even go to clubs or bars. One of my friends got taken for almost a thousand dollars but only remembers spending $10 for one big drink.
If you are in a Hot Spot with glamor girls and you look around the club and don't see the pawn or sucker , that is because you are the sucker.
"This is great. Hot pretty woman are totally interested in my tonight. This NEVER happens!" Major red flag.
I’m from Philly and moved to Miami! I remember this. I’m in Athens ga now. Town is fit for scams but I’m full kingdom bound now
Being approached by 2 of our eastern girls who know each other? Do love your naïveté
I was waiting for him to notice one of his kidneys are missing too.
Wouldn't work on me. Only drinks 🍸 I consume are the ones I witness being poured/made.
In addition, women don't usually approach men in America at bars/clubs unless they are harlots or trying to set you up. 😳
Remember they will open up the bottles drug them and reseal them up.
Yep,whenever someone seems over ambitious to get you to have a shot you know something is up. I'm surprised this dude fell for that. I don't drink so it would not work on me.
@@richardmorris7063 He must not have a'lot of experience. But yeah I've got more than enough experience to know that no hot woman, pretty much no woman period, is going to be overly friendly unless something is wanted ($)
I was roofied at a club with water. I wouldn’t even trust it if I saw it being made at this point. Especially after I heard of this Korean story that has been blowing up for a while now that this one club in Korea was drugging girls with water and selling them. I’m pretty sure whatever drug they used on them was what they gave me.
Also, not a Harlot but I used to hang out at jazz and blues clubs alone. I traveled for work or just because I had days off and no one else was free. It’s dangerous for anyone really… but till this day I still travel and because I’m by myself a lot I sit at the bars of my favorite restaurants. But I only drink bottled water now 😂
Well, he shouldn't have been so desperate. However, his ego of wanting to feel like a king led to his demise.
Cmon guys - how stupid are we ? Anyone who can afford to blow that much cash at a club is bound to get ripped off, and this scam happens in every nightlife precinct in the world.

If you are a single Man and two Women in a bar are randomly acting towards you in a way like in this video?Be SUSPICIOUS and exit pronto
The thing is, he was a celebrity and a handsome man about town. Women were always coming up to him.
Stacy Keach ,love that voice !
Interested in the weather man😂 hilariously big ego.
If that happened to me there's no way I'm doing a interview on the whole situation to be aired on tv.
So you'd allow others to go through it knowing what they did hmm... Remember that next time you get scammed.
She seems type to hire sugar babies
Lol any girl who hits on me
Red flag for me lol
Most girls just want a free drink so calm down and treat yourself to something nice this coming weekend.
😂 basically
Don't nobody like me, either
Shes gotta be a GUY or some kind of rip off girls dont even approach guys usually
@@ghostspiritrideI am 39 and did not ask one time for a drink or begun a conversation to get drinks paid. I couldn’t do that
This happens in a lot of vacation spots. It’s very dangerous.
So it’s the same as it’s always been, men manipulated out of their money by pretty women. Some have to learn the hard way.
Small street hustle.
Never take your wallet just what you think you're going to spend in cash. Problem solved.
Or maybe pay a bodyguard to protect you from them mean street hookers.
This would never happen to me because i cant afford to drink at a bar.
I met a dancer in Orlando in 2014. By 2021 we were married and living in a waterfront Fort Lauderdale mansion with a 135' dock in the backyard. A Yacht, a Captain and two Nannies for the 3 babies under 3 years old. I was attacked 8 times in all. 18 lawyers, 3 CPA's, 1 Judge, 2 $20 million dollar corporations in on the crimes. It all started with my first lawyer, Ronald. Like the Bank Manager. You know.
In short he got scam trying to pak those girls 😂😂😂
How embarrassing... but I'm glad he told his story on this show. He probably saved a lot of guys.
Hustlers (film)
Still cheaper than getting married or letting a woman move in with ya. He’s still ahead. By alot
Got skinned without a wingman.
Weather man didn't predict major storm clouds coming in.
Why does this documentary called it American Greed when they point out the Russian mafia was involved in this crime?
Never buy drinks for women.
Don’t wanna do a shot but he’ll sleep with them. Lol
Boy gots morels
Lames gonna be Lame
😂 bingo
You can be a tall and muscular dude, and good, honest, pretty girls STILL won't approach you. It's just not the way the world works.
dear weather man next time dress like a homeless person with a hat on and they will leave you alone.but you have to drink mad dog 20/20. you will wake up feeling the same way with all your money and no bad paintings
It is not just eastern european - it is every where
My friend met a girl in USA ( American girl) - next day she asked him to pay for her food delivery
Another friend had a one night stand
next day girl took him to mall and have him buy her $1200 Coat
This is why I don't buy drinks for girls at bars, scammers
That had to be the biggest red flag "" constantly nagging you to take a shot "" NO IS NO
Oldest business in history; just modified for today’s plastic money and vulgar conspicuous consumption by vainglorious weak willed men… “Twas ever thus”
Getting scammed by 20 year old immigrants is a lesson for a 40 year old man😂
What episode
He should have just paid cash , dummy

💃Young girl, old Fool 🥴
More proof that having money doesn't make you smart or gives you an ounce of common sense. This guy needs to truly look in the mirror and know there is no way two girls like would be seeking his company without a quid pro quo arrangement.
But he didn't even get the quo, unless you count the lousy painting
So how much for the painting?
I would never trust any woman
When approached by beautiful women or beautiful women are involved in something pertaining to you, there is almost always some kind of deception going on. This is the oldest trick in the world and one that men never get wise to.
Love the Dubstep
Where do I start. Bolaris lost his job after interviews on ABC and NBC, effectively publicizing his gullible stupidity. It’s possible he thought he would appear free-spending, or be able to disingenuously call the experience a public service. Hardly desirable qualities in a weatherman. I’m sure it took him years to perhaps admit his part in it.
American Greed has been one of my favorite shows for years. Big crime in the USA moved from Epstein Island to the Judlges chambers. It's fascinating.
Makes the rest of these criminals seem like small change. Wow.
How were they brought here "illegally"?? All they needed was a tourist visa, and they were able to pass thru customs like any tourist visiting Disney World. And getting deported doesn't seem like much of a punishment without any hard time.
They made their money, and the story doens't say if John Bolaris ever got his money back, or if he still has the painting to always remind him of the wild and crazy time he had in Miami.
Stupid, their a dime a dozen. Book a flight you can have all night $100.
😂
This takes place in Miami and not Thailand... I'd bet you've been to Pattaya region you dirty bird.
Sad
That’s not American greed - that’s an American lightweight lol. He’s lucky they even called back! I think the blame is 50-50 at best and his punishment should be forcefully watching the movie HANGOVER 37 times in a row till he learns his lesson!
lol good one
Yes you right
Something simillar happened to me without the paintings of course
Much like Vegas casinos they keep the free drinks going and you keep raising the bets and losing. You never get what you deserve.
He had a great night and the CC company will refund him . What is the problem ? 😂😂😂
Guy looks smarter than that,of course man or woman never take the drink. In fact if I don't know the person well I wouldn't even leave my drink to go to the rest room.
7:20 Epic vibes!!!
We go to two different Miami beaches, because I go to the poor part. And my credit card would not approve a high transaction 😂
What I don’t understand is why the girls would call him back about his lost sunglasses? Also wondering how much he paid in the end
The Hangover documentary.
Those girls should spend their rest of their lives in prison.
Feel bad for him but being drugged is no joke
Get your bag girls!!! I love it!
Seriously? How would you like to be drugged and taken advantage of?
Surely, trying the push the "shot" on him must have made him suspicious ... it must have been drugged. But even if it wasn't, it's not to go down well on top of white wine =)
I'm from Philly and he was on TV everyday there for year. He was as famous as an eagle or Phillies baseball player
Thank you 😮
those accents are a big turnoff for me
Two beautiful women telling you that you're the only one nice to us red flag
Beauty fades!!! Remember that ladies, those of you who make a living doing these kind of things.
Any guy drinking Pinot Grigio at the Clevelander is red flag weirdo status
Would he nice too if it was a 50 year old regular woman ?
nope!!!
@@potato32salad👍🏾
i see nothing wrong with a good scam personally
What'd they get him with? Was he roofied? Was this a Scopolamine incident?
This is why I spend my spare time fishing in the Eastern Sierras...
It's a jungle out there and it's crawling with STD's and Grizzly bears
Giggling Marlin in Cabo was famous for "spiked drinks" and spanked customers
Dumb men getting played 😂
He has enough money 💰
Easy target
What a BS - where are the facts "after" ? What happens exactly ?
He is acting like he is innocent lmao
This guy with his “enjoying” indulging is a cringe cheese ball
Deserved to get hustled. First thing he was worried about was “Finding the receipt for the tax write off”. Bet he wouldn’t have prude the issue if they would have left him one.
He got drugged and hustled out of thousands and he had the balls to share his story so others can learn from it.
You come off as to justify the wrong doings of them slutwhores with a oh he should have known better and because he was thinking about a tax write off receipt, you think he deserved it. I guarantee you're poor and possible scam people.
