The "Con" in ConMan is short for Confidence. The best Con Men tend to be either very Good Looking, Charming, Tall, Dominant and or Charismatic. A great voice, great personality and great looks can work wonders for Con Men. Even meek and humble looking people can con you because they look harmless. Basically appearance and an air of legitamacy.
Nah - best ones are just average nondescript (with the charisma) Instagram has the six-packs and a Lambo - but Bernie Madoff, at $65Billion, I'll wager he's taken more than the top 1000 put together.
@@goldcd Bernie Madoff actually had a real reputation on Wall St. so he leveraged that do build his billion dollar Ponzi scheme. He had the social proof and expertise to warrant initial trust.
@@EughGetBack yes it does. If you book ads, you pay for each click (and views) and if you're a creator you get paid for each click with a part of that money, the rest goes to the bank (youtube hahaha)

I followed Grant Cardone since about 2013, I suffered serverd depression and anxiety. One of his mantras was to say you don’t need medicine for anxiety and other mental health conditions. I listened to this advice and became very sick for many years. Please everyone do not follow this type of advice from ‘Gurus’ the consequences can mean your happiness, life or even an early death.
That's because Grant Cardone is deep into Scientology, a cult that believes all psychiatrists and psych meds are evil and bad for you. He's pushing the beliefs of the cult he belongs to onto the victims of the success cult he started.
Con men attract the desperate. And when you have this charismatic, happy, friendly good speaker tell you all your dreams will come true then its easy to see why it works.
The relationship between scammer and scammed feels a lot like the relationship between a cult leader and their followers, it's kind of like a relationship between a narcissist and a codependent.
I got scammed for a few years in an MLM. Worst point in my life and I got recruited by a girl I had a crush on... she only wanted me for her recruiting bonus. Almost 3,000$ in I finally realized this was a cult scheme and I was quickly losing friends and family due to my brainwashing. I appreciate the work you do by exposing these scummy salesmen. Keep up the great work, you got my sub
Sorry that happened to you. You sound totally awake now though and innocculated against future scams. We all get scammed in some way in life the important thing is to learn from it and still be willing to take some chances when the time and situation is right.
"Give me a tin of mackerel today, and I'll train you how to sell a mackerel trading-course, that'll double your tinned fish in two weeks" I suspect the scam won't end as well as it does on the outside though.
“Here in my cell and I’ve got the Lamborghini of a toilet in the back, but today I want to talk about some knowledge I’ve acquired lately... the value of bartering. Did you know spicy chicken ramen is worth double of any other flavor? The more you learn the more you earn.”
Bernie Madoff looked like a kindly old rich uncle. I think about that every time I see his photo. He doesn't look like someone that could destroy so many lives.
I never trusted these guys. There’s always something about them that’s off and idk how other people can’t read them. Chances are if you feel something isn’t right, TRUST YOUR GUT

Well said man . I myself am a victim of people with con traits. The sad thing is that even when my instincts screams red flag I still go along with the person with a benefits of doubt.
Brian Rose once responded to criticisms by saying losers focus on winners, winners focus on winning. It could be summed up as: Scammers focus on losers.
I love that line: many, many years ago, some might not remember, I had a program called Mega Memory... I guess only those who bought Mega Memory can remember.
The whole looking trustworthy thing is true. When I took part in a life insurance class I was invited to (it's one that they invite folks to to sell Life Insurance as an investment) one of the first things they told me was that I look and sound honest and relatable. They actually took me to the side and wanted me to start selling Life Insurance based off of this. The whole thing wasn't to my liking honestly, and being told this was honestly very disconcerting. It makes since that these traits make a good liar, but to actually hear it from folks selling Life Insurance as an investment option just sounded bad. I never started. All I can say is they had a good cheese and wine selection for free. Got a free class on selling Life Insurance too. Oh, and some pretty hot ladies to be perfectly honest. They were collecting people in customer service and other client facing positions that were low pay and promising a future of big bucks.
... shit, I had the same experience. A "friend" said I'd do well as an insurance agent because I have s "cute, guileless smile" that makes "people fall in love and old people happy to see". And then proceeded to say, "It would make them feel bad not to buy packages from you!"
Keep pushing boi I used to watch these guys growing up to be successful but even as a young lad I knew they were bogus good to see my gut feeling was right

I've been binge watching a bunch of coffeezilla and have to agree, these con artists always have a charismatic "well they seem like a nice guy" attitude. The surprising thing I keep seeing is on small time grifters trying to sell gaming universities to people trying to push almost cult like social networks is how their followers just blindly follow with those excuses: "Well you'll see if you join the discord they are all really are a nice person/people" "Oh they don't see like the type to lie" "You just need to try it to see it work" "Oh, it doesn't always work if you don't try hard enough" I just wish there was more that you could do to inform. these days, these con groups have media teams to downvote videos, sockpuppet accounts to harass people, & dox critics. It happens from the biggest names to the smaller ones, but it seems there is no real way to stop some of these people, they ALWAYS come back.
Kind of like how serial killers can be charismatic because they lack a coherent personality, lack a large part of their humanity, and are able to put on any mask they want because of it.
Better Call Saul deals with this exact problem. Saul may be slimy, but he’s naturally funny and people like him. That’s why his scams are so successful and it’s why his straight-faced brother, who has problems dealing with people, is so jealous
Thank you for sharing this awareness, Coffee! I'm not a psychology student, and I learnt about narcissism via conselling session and videos/podcasts that are made by some psychologists. Narcissism is so real. In workplace settings, most companies' owners are not aware that narcissists can deceive others by making use of their charisma to manipulate others Hopefully the awareness of scam will rise

Bro, I am seeing so-called “educated people” get caught to these snake oil sellers every day. I believe people need to start not only to think about themselves but also about others when deciding on something. Most people only think about benefits they going to get instead of others who are going to suffer from that.

Hi Coffeezilla, Why most folks become victims to anything is Feeling desperate, a person usually get in a financial mess and trying to figure how to get out of it. Way, back in my 30's that what trap me, but I got out of it. Usually if one get in a desperate situation if you slow down you can get out of it as well. Thanks for sharing this video.
I thought i became scam proof until the last couple years but fortunately buying into these scams has taught huge lessons on what gets people to buy with a legitimate business
One of the best UA-cam channels I've subbed to in years Coffee! I look forward to you becoming a household name in the years to come. You're work is awesome. Keep it up!
to appeal to his audience, brian rose recently posted a video saying that "hospitals are no busier than this time last year". glad nobody in his family is currently in an ICU to test that statement. also, actions have consequences. brian posted lots of pictures on his community of him riding the tube without wearing a mask. because he knew his followers would like that. a bit later, i found myself on a tube train where everybody was wearing a mask. all except one person - and that person had a londonreal t shirt on. and like some bad movie, that person was coughing into his hands every now and then {eyeroll}. thanks brian, we appreciate your work ;D
I agree. Charisma, rapport and likability are actually the Staples of scammers. It's because of their personality that they're actually able to sucker so many. AND might I add that many of them actually believe their own scam which makes them a lot more believable. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I had a german business partner who moved from city to city ending up in my region. He admitted several business problems in his past. He was very charming. He believed his own fantasy and lies... the rest is history 🤣
great video, man! it feels really good to find other people that see these things, so i don't feel that i'm crazy. keep them coming, your work is appreciated.
While "con" is often used abbreviated like this in terms like con-man, and it makes we think of someone more obviously and even cartoonishly scammy, like with a suitcase of snake oil, the word is really the shortening of "confidence" in the expression "confidence trick," a trick based on earning the mark/target's confidence. The more likable one seems, the more likely one is to succeed in this line of dishonest "career."
I'm about to leave for work but you need to know about something I call this effect the "silver tongue" and although you may not believe me, there are people who when they talk can literally cause your mind to release endorphins and feel good...I had a friend who could do this and when I realized the effect it scared the c### out of me...be very careful when you are listening to someone and you start to fell tooo good.
There's a mystery with these scammers: Their psychology, The "how" question has been answered, they're likeable, and seemingly they're completely shameless.deliberately trying to delude others - simply for cash.The rest of my answer was truncated by UA-cam
"They don't stop!" Just like a TV evangelist like Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, Jim Baker, Robin (Bullshit) Bullock, Paula White etc. etc. add INFINITUDE.
I’ve met two genuine con men in my life, and I can attest to their likability. Confident, relaxed, witty… if you like someone immediately, that’s not a good sign.
If it was possibile to smash that like button the times that I would like,I would certainly smash it during all the video of Coffeezilla! You are the best guys!🤗
I also signed up for the emails with Trump, so I could understand what information he was sending to his supporters which the general public was not seeing. It's horrific

Honestly, in Terry Pratchett's Going Postal the main character is great for helping understand the way these people think.
I’m not surprised that charismatic scammers have fans, so did attractive serial killers (didn’t one marry a fan?).
First there was Coffeezilla, then by manipulating the playback speed we get a more evolved protagonist, Cocainezilla.
I thought i became scam proof until the last couple years but fortunately buying into these scams has taught huge lessons on what gets people to buy with a legitimate business
Who else feels like they're getting 2 for the price of one when you get a youtube furu (fake guru) ad on coffeezilla vid
That echoey “hell no” scared the shit out of me, sitting way to close to my phone.
Napoleon Hill is really good at being likeable. I fell for this bs 27 years ago. Still feeling stupid for that.
One of the best UA-cam channels I've subbed to in years Coffee! I look forward to you becoming a household name in the years to come. You're work is awesome. Keep it up!
to appeal to his audience, brian rose recently posted a video saying that "hospitals are no busier than this time last year". glad nobody in his family is currently in an ICU to test that statement.
also, actions have consequences. brian posted lots of pictures on his community of him riding the tube without wearing a mask. because he knew his followers would like that.
a bit later, i found myself on a tube train where everybody was wearing a mask. all except one person - and that person had a londonreal t shirt on.
and like some bad movie, that person was coughing into his hands every now and then {eyeroll}. thanks brian, we appreciate your work ;D
Bullshit story
You're conning me into watching your videos with your likeability.
I agree. Charisma, rapport and likability are actually the Staples of scammers. It's because of their personality that they're actually able to sucker so many. AND might I add that many of them actually believe their own scam which makes them a lot more believable. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
It's funny to me, these type of people and their personalities that send up all my red flags
I had a german business partner who moved from city to city ending up in my region. He admitted several business problems in his past. He was very charming. He believed his own fantasy and lies... the rest is history 🤣
great video, man! it feels really good to find other people that see these things, so i don't feel that i'm crazy. keep them coming, your work is appreciated.
Cult of personality? Oh we are headed back to the 90s....
That “hell no” at 12:11 really spooked me lol
While "con" is often used abbreviated like this in terms like con-man, and it makes we think of someone more obviously and even cartoonishly scammy, like with a suitcase of snake oil, the word is really the shortening of "confidence" in the expression "confidence trick," a trick based on earning the mark/target's confidence. The more likable one seems, the more likely one is to succeed in this line of dishonest "career."
Glad to see this channel's growth. Been here since 85k
I'm about to leave for work but you need to know about something I call this effect the "silver tongue" and although you may not believe me, there are people who when they talk can literally cause your mind to release endorphins and feel good...I had a friend who could do this and when I realized the effect it scared the c### out of me...be very careful when you are listening to someone and you start to fell tooo good.
There's a mystery with these scammers: Their psychology, The "how" question has been answered, they're likeable, and seemingly they're completely shameless.deliberately trying to delude others - simply for cash.The rest of my answer was truncated by UA-cam
Big business has been selling crap and continue to do so after they pay fines, so this is the same just on a smaller scale.
That School of Trade thing sounds interesting, I might just try it out! Thanks for making a video on it! 😂
"They don't stop!" Just like a TV evangelist like Kenneth Copeland, Joel Osteen, Jim Baker, Robin (Bullshit) Bullock, Paula White etc. etc. add INFINITUDE.
It’s pissing me off seing Ross Camereon and all fake guru’s still selling fake shits, but your videos make it hilarous, I love what you do!
I’ve met two genuine con men in my life, and I can attest to their likability. Confident, relaxed, witty… if you like someone immediately, that’s not a good sign.
YOUR NETWORK IS SIMPLY INVALUABLE .....KEEP IT UP FOREVER, COFFEE!!!!
I have called Brian a scammer on one of his Facebook posts and now I am permanently banned from commenting on his posts !
This is also why we enjoy YOUR show, Coffee ;)
"This is something that is hard for people to accept". Until you realize the "con" in "con artist" is short for confidence.
If it was possibile to smash that like button the times that I would like,I would certainly smash it during all the video of Coffeezilla! You are the best guys!🤗
I also signed up for the emails with Trump, so I could understand what information he was sending to his supporters which the general public was not seeing. It's horrific
Dude going back through your timeline. Your growth is astronomical.
He looks better with a beard, too.
the "wealthiest" person of the planet is a conman.
Suspenders + wonderful full beard = the FINAL Coffeezilla form
I consider myself very lucky because I spot scammers very easily as I get second hand embarrassment from these kind of people 😂
Hey man it is very sad People still falling on scamming, but Coffeezilla will continue in the game, greetings from Mexico
So basically you’re saying all politicians are scammers?? Lol exactly.
Always has been 🔫
Politicians promise the world and deliver sh*t so yes, all of them are to some degree scammers.
No, he's not saying THAT, exactly. Some, like Trump, stand out as markedly psychopathic. But not all.

@@taofist you guys have such a weird fixation on trump. Dude seems less like a psychopath and more like a narcissistic egotistical idiot who says whatever enters his head, I think the left gives him a bit too much credit.
Democrats… Republicans..
i missed the old music when you finish your video, great stuff as always
Exception to the rule... Pena. That guy is a #"&%
3.5% of the population engages in masochistic activities.
Ah but his brand is that he has over 9000 ng/L testosterone and somehow hasnt died of a heart attack
Imagine growing up with one, watching them trying all their tricks on you but you still give them the benefit of the doubt. I think some are just born this way because it doesn't matter how much you can try show a person the right way, their mind always drift to the possibilities of quick millions and how easy it should be.
That thumbnail is epic 😄
