  • I nearly fell for a check scam when selling some furniture online. I decided to dig deeper and learned that the scammer was actually from Nigeria. In this video I actually go undercover and work for the Nigerian scammers to see how they do what they do.

      This is awesome! You should keep doing this under different names with the same scammer group and others you can find. The scammers never saw any of your real identity, so you can just keep creating new fake identities and re-applying for the job, and they can never know who they are actually interacting with.

      @@Sarge92 he did in the series of this video. basically the people get more money then promised and they are to use the remaining amount for various things. thats the "earnings" for the scammers. when the falty check is realised the bank deducts the funds from the bank holder but they not only spend the money for whatever they were told tod o, but they might have also spend some of the money that was supposed to be for them (which wont help the scammer but can make recovering from it even worse)

    I enjoyed this video a lot, but I wish you would have made a dummy email account and written some more details in those packages. Something along the lines of " I am a third party being told to mail out these cheques. I just printed this cheque from my home office and do not work for this oil company. I suspect you are being scammed and I am sending you this warning. If you would like to follow up with me to talk about this here's my email".
    Then you could start a back and forth correspondence with the scam victims. Learn why they believed they were receiving these cheques. What was the backstory the scammers gave them? What was their reaction when they found out the truth? You could call, email, video conference them, maybe get their permission to include that portion in the video. It would have been all the more interesting!

    So based on the quick map image, that address is 12321 6th Street, Santa Fe, TX. They're either part of the scam or someone who is also "employed" by the scammer. It may be that someone is working at the post office in that rural area and basically intercepts these when they come in with that address or maybe they fill out a redirect form at the post office every month or so and have it redirect to another address for a while as if they moved elsewhere and still have mail coming to the address. The person at the address may just be some innocent, random person who happened to live in the middle of nowhere and was picked as a random target. I'd be curious to know if they're having any issues with their mail not showing up. I have been pondering how this scam would finish. If they theoretically got the check and the account number isn't valid and the check is found to be fake, I'm not seeing how the scammer would get their money or how even the company placed on the check would "lose" money. I don't think a bank would process a $130K check just deposited into an ATM or even in-person via the bank. The person might be temporarily detained by police to figure out where the check came from, but I don't think that their account would bounce for $130K. I'm not seeing how the person getting the check would benefit or get paid OR how the scammer themselves would get paid unless they were redirecting to that address to have them redirect to yet another address. It may be that the scammer has a contact at both of those companies who is actually employed at each company and would use the check to embezzle from the company somehow. Or there may be someone working at the post office in the rural area looking for that specific address to come through and somehow reroute it or intercept it.
    There needs to be an international task force that specifically goes after scammers like this and permanently jails them, sells everything that they have and uses the money to fund itself and/or help out people who have been scammed by these people. They should get 30-40 years in prison for this.

    • @RyanWenner
      @RyanWenner 5 років тому +8

      So I've been a 'victim' of this type of scam before... I started getting UPS overnight envelopes that were "return to sender" and when I opened them, there were large checks inside. When I called UPS to complain they didn't seem to care to pursue the scammers (generally because they're overseas and next to impossible to prosecute. They did explain the scam to me though...
      What typically happens is an overseas scammer makes a deal with party A to buy something or complete some type of transaction where they pay "extra" for the item with the condition that part of the money be returned, or given to a courier who picks up the item, etc. The scammer then has party B (the payroll clerk) print and send a check... often using stolen ups or fedex account numbers. Sometimes Party A is asked to deposit the check and paypal or transfer money to the scammer... other times there's a Party C (hired from craigslist under false pretense in the same way the payroll clerk is hired) that will come pickup the item. The scam has several variants but the end game is to get someone in the states to deposit a fake check and transfer goods or money back to the scammer, sometimes through another party. The result will be that party A is on the hook for the money after the fake check bounces.

    • @kelirecords
      @kelirecords 5 років тому +7

      Let me explain it to you like this. A scammer contacts a genuine seller, asks to buy their items. Agree on price, then they send a fake check " from wherever source and usually ridiculously more than the actual value of the item in question". Upon receipt of the check, the scammer forces the seller to deposit the check in an account, knowing that the check will eventually bounce. Here comes the interesting part. The Scammer will then start to pressure the seller (now victim) to transfer the balance of the sum on the check upront (before the check even clears) to a shipper (the scammer's own network). So how the scammers make money is pressuring the victim to send his or her own money upfront based on their trust (gullibility) in the legal tender (fake check). Do you now understand it?

If they really ARE little old ladies, it might be out of desperation. I know my relatives have gotten legit offers of over one million dollars on a particular piece of land (it's a very in-demand area nowadays, even though it was cheap when they got there) so they might think $130,000 for some of their land is reasonable, and it might help cover some medical bills (neither medicare nor medicaid cover 100% of medical costs for all recipients). Not trying to argue or anything, just trying to shed some light on the situation. I know if my family didn't subsidize my grandmother's income, then she would certainly be living below the poverty line.

    Great video! I hope you really did this.
    Am I the only one that noticed you were putting FedEx Express shipping labels on USPS Priority Envelopes then dropping them off at the Post Office?
    I am sure some of the footage was taken afterwards just so you could make this video.
    If you really put a FedEx Express Shipping Label on a USPS Priority Envelope and then dropped them off at the Post Office then these would have never made it to the destination.
    Anyways, keep it up! I hate all these scammers! The more that can be done to make their life harder and take time away from them scamming people the better!

    So some of the idiots that were about to be scammed actually warned scammers about your actions.
    FFS, they deserve to be scammed.

      No... he was clearly being tested. At least one of the addresses was another employee of theirs. They were seeing if he could be trusted and also probably collecting evidence of his crime for blackmail purposes.
