When I was younger I worked grocery and had to talk an older gentlemen out of spending thousands on visa gift cards to “mail to someone for a refund”, this is way more common then people might think
The way the elder lady’s voice broke as she spoke shattered my heart. How can people be so heartless? Edit: I’m talking about the ACTUAL elder lady, not the guy with the voice changer. I thought people would catch that…

You really get the impression from watching scammer exposed channels that they not only don't think of the people they're scamming as people, but they don't even have the concept that anything they're doing is wrong. To them this is just work and they're just earning money.
Yep, pretty cool. Sad for the people who did stuff like this before, but don’t get the same recognition because of UA-cam’s favoritism. Mark Rober is truly laying down the foundation
Ok, I'm normally a pretty calm and unbothered person, but the audio recording of the scammer scamming that woman litteraly made me sick. The pure manipulation and lies disgusted me completely. I cannot be more grateful for Mark to have helped put people like this behind bars, noone deserves to be treated like this, and those who willingly do these kinds of actions towards other people are really really despicable human beings.
Yeah totally I literally wanted to cry because of him just manipulating a innocent woman. I can only image how horrible it feels to be a victim in one of these scams.
I agree. Just horrible. Disgusting. I can't even believe that people would manipulate others like this. Especially the woman. She was basically being harassed by the man. It's just really really sad. I'm just angry right now. I don't know who would do this, especially for an amount like 20,000 dollars. It seems like she needed that money, and I feel bad. I don't have anything to do with this phone scamming, but I still feel bad.
My great grandma got a call from a scammer and she was going along with what the scammer was telling her to do for about 20 minutes. then the scammer told her to click on an icon on the screen. she told the scammer that she didn’t see the icon on her screen. The scammer was confused about why she didn’t see the icon until my great grandma said “maybe its because I don’t have a computer.” So basically my great grandma had wasted more than 20 minutes of the scammer’s time, which i think is great.
I'll literally buy it in a heartbeat. My neighbourhood is filled with porch pirates. I ordered a mic for recording audio for my channel and someone stole it yesterday from my porch.
I love how this all started with a prank against porch pirates and is now a full blown operation of taking down legitimate scammers! NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES!!!
this sounds like every single big thing in the world today like: "some kids were bored and made a video sharing platform called youtube and now it's a multimillion dollar corporation" Who knows? Maybe Mark will stop all scams in the future!
I relate. After my bike was stolen, I really wanted to get a GPS tracker and put it on cheap bikes in the same location and hunt down the thieves. But the cash investment was more than I could really justify. Would be way easier and cheaper to pull off than this though... I don't know why police don't just always have like 50 bait bikes around town waiting to get stolen.
Thats insane Mark. I would never have courage to catch golpists or even exposing them. Thats crazyyy asf. Youre brave! I would be scare to put myself or my family in risk.
My 5-yr-old wants you to know that you are a true superhero. Helping people and catching/punishing the bad guys. Also, she loves that you're sweet to squirrels and hopes you build another maze for them this year.
Jim does that all time you should really check out his channel if you like that. he doesn't have fancy glitter boxes but he stops a lot of scams and reports a lot to authorities.
I love the progression of this series. Mark built a glitter bomb because he was angry with porch pirates and now he’s helping the FBI and Homeland Security take down scammers😂
I am 74 and get frequent scammers calling me.. Sometimes I play with them for awhile and then tell them to get a real job and stop stealing money. It is sad how so many people fall for their scams.
I love how Mark has evolved from “ let’s do some cool ridiculous science!” To “let’s burn the scamming industry down to the ground through the power of glitter!”
I may just be being overemotional here, but I cried a little bit when the scammer told Phyllis she reminded him of his grandmother. The fact that a person could build the trust of such a sweet, innocent old lady just so they can steal her life savings and ruin her life is just heartbreaking.
I would do spray adhesive right before the glitter and that way all of it is glued in place and you're not getting it off Or do some sort of dye that stains the skin
Это невероятно, что хоть кто-то пытается изменить в хорошую сторону этот утопающий во лжи огромный мир. Этот парень с большим сердцем и ангельской душой. Дай бог ему сил и терпения.
She wasnt actually a victim. He's a youtuber who pretends to be an old lady/guy to mess with scammers which is why the conversation was being recorded. He was also mentioned in this video.
@@wut490 no, that call was monitored by another youtuber who had achieved access to the scammers' systems. Thats why they had to intercept the fedex driver.
that heartless scammer who kept saying how she was like his grandmother and proceeded to manipulate her and make her cry really broke my heart especially given her situation
I feel so utterly bad for bessie. This honestly makes me so sad. You can tell she was so upset and that makes me so mad that some people have the audacity to do this.
I swear, hearing that guy guilty tripping that old lady into sending him 20000 dollars AS she cried and apologized makes my blood boil. I really hope you guys can get them caught. There's no justice in the world if these heartless bastards don't pay for what they're doing.
The scammers are keeping track and watching for obituaries for couples over 65 .. then closing in on these old ladies within a week of the funeral like bug eyed vultures feasting on the dead while they are still in mourning .. some people do deserve harsh retribution .. I am not going to say what I would like to do to them if this was my mother or grandmother
The problem isn't that they don't have emotions or empathy, the problem is that they're just apathetic. It's extremely easy to "press the button," so to speak, when the victim is confirmed to be on the other side of the world and have no relation to you what so ever. Some of the guys in that video could easily have been your friend online. Everybody here in the comment section could wax poetic all day and night about what we could do to deter things like this, but the cheapest thing we can do is spread awareness. Stay safe Hammies!
Woooowww that one guy scamming the old lady for $20K and making her cry made me so angry. I hope everyone in that office that is scamming goes hungry. That is just messed up.
Just showed this video to an elderly lady who was certain that a refund had gone wrong and she owed her bank $10,000 in target gift cards. She was so convinced until she saw the video, thank you for saving her money.
@@catinthehat5140 I believe the explanation she was given was that Target, Walmart and [insert large company that sells gift cards here] is a partner with the bank, so they can recoup the funds that way.
@@catinthehat5140 They wouldn't. But scammers target people who are easily overwhelmed and confused. Often it's older people who are starting to suffer from senility, or who are having emotional problems. I loved my grandma, and she was very intelligent in her day. But near the end for her, if she didn't check with my dad before every financial decision, she might have fallen for something like this. She was trusting of people she thought were authority figures, and very anxious a lot of the time. They take advantage of that.
Me neither, I feel like him getting a package stolen has made a positive impact on his life overall. After getting just one package stolen, he has gotten revenge on many package thieves and now a scammer.
My grandmother was called by a scammer saying there was an issue with windows on her laptop and she led them on for 45 minutes pretending she thought they were talking about the windows on her house.

@@Roadent1241 Go and watch his squirrel obstacle course video, it's hilarious. And while you're at it, go ahead and watch every other of his videos.
This is like a movie plot, incredible quality!
Not as great as mine
Yoo, Hawks! I litterally had the same thought, lol. BTW, are you gonna update your site?
Yeah I thought that as well Hawk!

Lol its hawks
I'm really impressed by the empathy for the victims that you show here. Well done.

Love that you guys are working together for maximum impact (and a little entertainment for us). Keep it up!
This has gone from simple pranks on people who steal packages to a full-on scamming takedown. This is truly incredible. MASTA-PIECE
This saga is a true masterpiece
True
I hope there's no revenge arc from the scammers
Jim does that all time you should really check out his channel if you like that. he doesn't have fancy glitter boxes but he stops a lot of scams and reports a lot to authorities.
I love the progression of this series. Mark built a glitter bomb because he was angry with porch pirates and now he’s helping the FBI and Homeland Security take down scammers😂

True, Jim Browning played a huge part as well.

*international scammers. Nonetheless.
I honestly can’t see how a scammer can sit there and guilt an old lady like that, it genuinely made me feel really sorry for her.
And to think she was already grieving over her lost husband... It hurts my soul.

I am 74 and get frequent scammers calling me.. Sometimes I play with them for awhile and then tell them to get a real job and stop stealing money. It is sad how so many people fall for their scams.
I'm glad to hear you are aware of these types of scammers and I chuckled a little bit when reading you have fun messing with them
Lol
@@MtDew-ci6gp 👽👺
I'm happy to hear that you are aware of scammers ma'am 😁
Awesome!
I love how Mark has evolved from “ let’s do some cool ridiculous science!” To “let’s burn the scamming industry down to the ground through the power of glitter!”
Indeed, im loving this series so far! haha, I cant wait for him to say that he finally took down the scamming business in india
@@AncientBart here
Thanks for scrolling
Wow this comment is doing well
What is your idea behind it
I hear that Graze on the roof theme from pvz imao
never underestimate the power of Mark, and the almighty Power of glitter
I may just be being overemotional here, but I cried a little bit when the scammer told Phyllis she reminded him of his grandmother. The fact that a person could build the trust of such a sweet, innocent old lady just so they can steal her life savings and ruin her life is just heartbreaking.
same, i teared up a bit :/
You uh you want to dawn a certain set of armour and weapons and head over to india?
100% i nearly cried
Sad she trusted him so much
@@faddedreality6885 sure!
Let's go kill some scammers!
There are also a lot of scammers in Marruecos, might as well head there as well.
Thanks!
This is probably the best UA-cam video I've ever seen. Thank you Mark!
Wow you're verified so have this comment
Yes
spencer
Wowow early to a verified comment
Ah
This is just incredible how much you damaged the scammers in just one video
Yesss
8 do the same but in stead of farts spray it's acid and boiling water instead of. Glitter
@@antonymaged6030 I like that idea
Right he damaged one or two people when there's millions of them doing it every day
I would do spray adhesive right before the glitter and that way all of it is glued in place and you're not getting it off
Or do some sort of dye that stains the skin
Ugh, its absolutely disgusting what these scammers are doing. What hurts the most is, they target the most vulnerable.
Ik rlly sad
If racists and other bigots walked the walk, _these_ would be their targets.
Not moms and teen boys.
It honestly is disgusting.
Who would give your comment a thumbs down???? Unless it's other scammers hating on justice being served.

Mark's running a full on FBI investigation here.
He legit said, "We have informants working in these call centers."
He's onto something
its jim doing all the technical work
The people in the call centers gonna look at their workers like 👀
he is sus

It makes me so sad the way you can hear how stressed she was when they typed 20000
It takes a truly evil person to torture and use someone so helpless and innocent.
@@search4wisdom I guess I'm not the only one who had a massive urge to knock the scammer's light bulbs out in that moment.
She wasnt actually a victim. He's a youtuber who pretends to be an old lady/guy to mess with scammers which is why the conversation was being recorded. He was also mentioned in this video.
@@wut490 no, that call was monitored by another youtuber who had achieved access to the scammers' systems. Thats why they had to intercept the fedex driver.
@@wut490 watch the video before commenting bro
Thank you for doing this, Mark!
that heartless scammer who kept saying how she was like his grandmother and proceeded to manipulate her and make her cry really broke my heart especially given her situation
i felt the same way
Yeah, he deserved to be arrested
yeah i commented the same thing :’(
If you go and listen to the some of the calls it's amazing how entitled these people are.

Amazing detective work. So sad for these victims.
Scammers are the bottom feeders and leeches of the world. Nothing lower.
Agreed
That's an insult to bottom feeders and leeches. They have important roles in their respective ecosystems. These people don't.
Sorry to say the government are the leeches and scammers.
They are right alongside of politicians and lobbyists. In my opinion.
safe to just call them worthless
I swear, hearing that guy guilty tripping that old lady into sending him 20000 dollars AS she cried and apologized makes my blood boil.
I really hope you guys can get them caught. There's no justice in the world if these heartless bastards don't pay for what they're doing.
The scammers are keeping track and watching for obituaries for couples over 65 .. then closing in on these old ladies within a week of the funeral like bug eyed vultures feasting on the dead while they are still in mourning .. some people do deserve harsh retribution .. I am not going to say what I would like to do to them if this was my mother or grandmother
Unfortunately, there is no justice in this world.
I couldnt finish watching it i had to skip foward it made me feel so sick
I was so furious and heartbroken
I love how Jay-Z is just a normal contact on Mark’s recent calls list.

Eres un héroe no solo un genio Mark, deberías tener más vistas, estoy poniendome al día con todos los videos que tienes en mi idioma 😊
I can’t believe these scammers don’t have emotions or empathy when the victim is crying in sadness!
The problem isn't that they don't have emotions or empathy, the problem is that they're just apathetic. It's extremely easy to "press the button," so to speak, when the victim is confirmed to be on the other side of the world and have no relation to you what so ever. Some of the guys in that video could easily have been your friend online.
Everybody here in the comment section could wax poetic all day and night about what we could do to deter things like this, but the cheapest thing we can do is spread awareness. Stay safe Hammies!
I would show them the same empathy when torturing them for months until they died.
@Nicholas Abenroth duh. Its how the world works.
I've experienced it, they have no emotions except for wanting you to hurry with the money
Woooowww that one guy scamming the old lady for $20K and making her cry made me so angry. I hope everyone in that office that is scamming goes hungry. That is just messed up.
Saying they should go hungry is taking it a little too far I'd say...
im HELLA tilted bro this wack af
@@Nosirrbro Maybe for like a week haha. Scamming people for a living is messed up.
@@Nosirrbro why? they made her go hungry, that was her life savings. she isnt making more money at that age.
@@holybanana2376 it was way to far, no one should suffer that much!
Just showed this video to an elderly lady who was certain that a refund had gone wrong and she owed her bank $10,000 in target gift cards. She was so convinced until she saw the video, thank you for saving her money.
10K IN TARGET GIFT CARDS 🤣
sorry that was funny i had to laugh SORRY
Why would a bank want target gift cards?
@@catinthehat5140 I believe the explanation she was given was that Target, Walmart and [insert large company that sells gift cards here] is a partner with the bank, so they can recoup the funds that way.
@@catinthehat5140 They wouldn't. But scammers target people who are easily overwhelmed and confused. Often it's older people who are starting to suffer from senility, or who are having emotional problems. I loved my grandma, and she was very intelligent in her day. But near the end for her, if she didn't check with my dad before every financial decision, she might have fallen for something like this. She was trusting of people she thought were authority figures, and very anxious a lot of the time. They take advantage of that.
Truly shocked that all these chains for scams. And surprised that how professional you guys seem to be! Big👍👍👍

I would not be mad if this became your entire channel from now on
Me neither, I feel like him getting a package stolen has made a positive impact on his life overall. After getting just one package stolen, he has gotten revenge on many package thieves and now a scammer.
No another channel
He should create a company that sends glitter bombs to scammers
