- A California man says he lost $200,000 of his family’s savings in an alleged scam that’s so bizarre -- it’s hard to imagine that anyone could fall for it. But he did. FOX 11's Phil Shuman reports.
He got duped outta 200K and then snitches on himself on national television. This guys a legend
Lmao
😂😂
It's money laundering plain and simple. He smarter then he lets on to be. He just got greedy is all
It's like buying crack and getting ripped off and calling the cops and saying. He ripped me off while I'm doing it something illegal.
That’s what I’m thinking. Dude was laundering money?? Doing something I’m sure was illegal otherwise it wouldn’t be colored in white.
Here is a Ferrarri. It costs $1000000. I know it looks like a wooden box with garbage can lids for wheels but we just need to add a special chemical to turn it back into a real car!
seriously, here look at all the money, it looks like cut up printer paper but we washed it with special chemicals to pass threw customs to avoid taxes, we will pay you with this money after you give us 200k to buy dawn liquid soap to turn it back to cash.
Here take my monies! Gimme those chemicals! I'm gonna flip that car and sell it and be rich!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Hahahahahha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
thats fucked up 😂 thats a real chemical bro lol
these guys found that one person, on this planet that could fall for this is amazing
How much was he selling his restaurant for? And he needed to pay 200k for that chemical I for the white cash to turn normal
Its not the first, ive seen another one with a woman on Dr. Phil.
Probably they offered him say $300,000 in exchange for $200,000 in cash.
@@cat-lw6kq they offered him $300,000 and to buy that chemical was for $200,000? You know that doesnt make a lot of sense chemical at $159 would have been reasonable
@@tinvo368 That's my guess they conned him into believing it was an expensive process to convert the bills.
His mullet is the giveaway. They saw the mullet and knew it was going to be easy.
😂😂😂😭
when you're selling a restaurant and you pay the buyers
LMAO.............!
yeah thats what im not getting, it cost 200k to buy the chemicals to turn the money back???
Bizket Butt he puts the restaurant up for sale on Craigslist for, lets say, one million dollars.
scammers respond saying "we will give you TWO million dollars, but there's a catch. we dyed the cash white to sneak it in, all you have to do is give us $200k for the chemicals to turn it back and it's yours!"
victims greed does the rest....
Thats impossible NO one I mean NO one is that dumb right? This just has too be fake news.
@@pilgrim666butters sadly it's not fake news, dozens of cases like this happens here in Europe. Like Jon Doe said, greed always speaks louder.
A fool and his money are soon parted....
Like me 😂.lost 18 k on stock market 😥

I've also heard the female version, a fool and her legs are soon parted.
True and this is a fool by any means first off Craiglist No. MOney is not real but can be made real No, Cant you wire me the money directly into my account no? Get the Fuck out of here.
@@gelbusherpa1947 wow what stocks?
That’s hilarious. He’s like, “how dare he cheat me and not be a real money launderer.”
Well said you are hillarious
Well said Kesayo. He was willing to do money laundering to sell his restaurant.
Damage
Is that where the term money laundering comes from? Laundry...launder....hmmm
lol funny, not money laundering though
He should win an award for the biggest embarrassment of the decade
His spouse is never going to let him live this down.
For the situation he’s in or the mullet on his head?
Apparently this guy is easily impressed.
We'll look at his hair cut.. Obviously he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.
I would debate that; You felt you needed to impress a stranger with your mental prowess while having long hair?......You may be a hair smarter but it's not much hair................................

How do you know
Heres my civic , if you give it a wash with shampoo it will turn into a lamborghini , believe me this
YUGO BOSS I have a feeling that dude voted for TRUMP.😉
How about a demonstration? I will pay for the chemicals up to $5k. I give you the money, and you go buy the chemicals. I'll wait here. I trust you because you dress so nice
Actually, I'd say both candidates were horrible. We're stuck with a bombastic, pathological liar, after we voted him over another pathological liar.
Joseph Lee Always go with the adult.
I would have played these scammers and have them buy me clothes and all kinds of stuff!!!Then turn them to the police at the restaurant!!!
Pay for SMUGGLED MONEY??? You got what you deserved, dude!
That’s exactly what should have triggered alarm bells
They admitted to committing or attempting to commit money laundering
SMEAGLE WANTS HIS PRECIOUS BACKKK!
Exactly. I didn't catch that it was smuggled illegally, but my thought was, why would they have this amt in cash and not a bank acct. Makes no sense.
The grass is not always greener on the other side.
i can 100% get his money back for 400k.
Lol
I'll have the Sheriff do it for $375,000.
Fuck it , I'll do it cheap .... 10k
His luck is about to change for the better when I inform him that he has just won 8 million on the lottery. All that's needed for instant access to this windfall is a processing fee of 40k.
It just might work
I feel bad for him but I can't stop laughing. How tf did he fall for that?
Cuz it's sad and hilarious at the same time
Lol
If you felt bad you wouldn't have made the comment
@@triggerfingersguyyead4423 how would you know
I'm surprised he lived to be however old he is, you'd think with this logic he'd have won a Darwin Award by now. "The crosswalk says to go but some cars are still coming, maybe the walking symbol turns the cars holographic so they can't hurt me, here I go!".
dang this is a courageous man to expose himself. Thank you
Hey Ross loves your vids , I’m just laying in bed looking at random vids 😂😂
My favorite video of you is the poop in the chain 😂😂
You could see he wasn't smart by looking into his eyes. Selling the family business, never thought to use a lawyer. His family is just as dumb for letting him arrange the sale..
This guy has a lot of balls to tell this story
yeah and no brains for falling for the sucker play!

First bad move: CraigsList
Second bad move: Believing elaborate plot
First red flag: Here's your money, but it's going to cost you to get it.
craigslist is not a bad move at all. People buy and sell there all the time. I've bought all my cars on craigslist. You can be scammed in a store, in a parking lot, on ebay, on Amazon and many other platforms.
@@mwendia I like craigslist but theres no real recourse if someone gets ripped off. It's no good for high dollar deals. Too risky.
@@johnnytakisawa Agreed. I bought an $80 monitor years ago from Craigslist, which was easy to prove it was legit. I made him prove to me it worked by plugging it in and seeing the display on. I would never buy huge ticket items, or items that I cannot see prior to buying.
his second bad move was to go on youtubes to talk about his first bad move
@@shanefsr6609 If it saves one other sucker from getting scammed, then he did a good thing. It's bad only because it causes him an awful lot of embarrassment.
Before the video: That poor guy
Halfway through the video: Idiot
After the video: "I write to you on behalf of our Royal Prince"
😭😭😭🤡
Haha!! Good one!
yeah, Im with you....that was just damn dumb!!! he shoulda known better.....what a dumb ass!! lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Go get that money, champ.
EXACTLY!!!!!
He wouldn't have been scammed if he wasn't a thief himself . He's also mind bogglingly stupid . What kind of family trusted him with money?
Exactly. Who would trust people who ‘smuggled ‘ that much cash into the country?
"I wanted to avoid paying taxes by taking payment in cash and lying about the sales price and I got ripped off" - that is the correct title of this video.
RIGHT! Who posts an ad to sell a restaurant on Craigslist anyway?! Shady all the way around
Yep, pretty much! I can't help but wonder if this was really a drug deal gone bad, and this was his way of covering!
Nothing wrong with trying to avoid government THEFT
@@orangeblood307 but plenty wrong making others pay more so you won't. That's why people pay more.
@@dodgeplow i dont get your point. are you saying it shouldnt be legal to sell items on craigslist?
I almost fell for this too. It was about 27 yrs ago when I was 5 years old
Great way of putting it.

😂
yeah, I'll give you 2 pennies for your 1 dollar
He probably thought Nigeria was in Europe
billy nomates 😂
So who said they were Nigerians?
Yeah this guy doesn’t seem like the brightest tool in the shed. I don’t know what’s worse, the fact that he literally thought blank notes would magically turn into money or the fact that he thought two black guys were from France.
Aegon Adie I honestly hope your joking right now, but in case you don’t understand I’ll explain. The comment was a joke about the guy who got scammed, insulting his intelligence. The comment was not intended to be racist.
Yep!!! Lol
I’m happy that I got scammed out of $40 as a kid at a city bus stop because ever since that day I have been suspicious of strangers and their sob stories about needing money or whatever the scam is. Since that time I’ve been approached numerous times. One time they attempted the white van scam. Another time was the gold jewelry scam, gas scams, gift card scams. I’m proud to say I’ve only fallen for the very first one at age 14 or 15.
Very true. Got to teach them young.
Happened to me in college. Some guy said he had hubcaps to sell me for $35. Asked for payment up front which I gave him never to see him again
He even conned me for a ride miles away
Best $35 bucks I ever wasted
"we have the money, but its dyed white and you need to buy chemicals to turn it back into money"
"....... OK sounds legit, heres the keys!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bet his family members will not let him do any more dealings with the business..
😂
What a dumb ass 😂😂😂
Lol yea he is a real country bumkin
This guy needs a TV show. I can't imagine how often he falls for shit like this.
He'll have to sell his house in case he owns one.
I bet his credit is completely ruined
Was he once duped in other scams?
just imagine how it went down in the finance room
That's a good idea, imma sell it to him.
He didn't fall for it, it's a B.S. story for attention, the News Station even knows it's B.S.
Me: I'm selling a Roll Royce !!
Dumb ponytail guy: How much?
Me: $450K but it looks like a Corolla
I did that to bring it from England
To get the Phantom, just wash the car. 😂
But this scenario is different. He gets a Corolla of value for $450k. He got white paper that was perfectly cut.

What a genius. "There are a couple of black fellas here with lots of invisible money and I'm agonna get me some!" His family must be so proud....
I'm black I'm laughing at your comment
Why be racist, especially on a public platform? Their ethnicity dosen't matter. If they had been white it would have still a transparent scam. Obviously you have some issues with bigotry you need to deal with.
Idc if you’re white, black or whatever if you come to me with white paper and tell me it’s money I’m laughing at you 😂😂
@@aliyusuf6552 same lmfao
I personally think he’s being funny,. If this type of humor hurts you in anyway maybe don’t read the comments. There was a club in Brooklyn New York called the crazy country club where they were brutal on everyone.back in the eighty we brought a new guy at work there, he was black. One Comedian in the middle of his act Made an announcement that a pocketbook was missing from one of the customers. They turned on the lights and all the bounces were around the black guy stood them up and power them down while everybody laughed and so did he. He told his mother take dealt with real racism most of her life and she brought different groups of her friends and church members almo every week. They were told to sit in the back, security would make Announcements while shining the light on the table to watch your valuables tonight as we have some unsavory characters here. She said her friends could not get enough of it. I miss the good all days

A five year old could spot this scam. This guy has done way too many drugs.
I have seen this scam in turkish tv series
So basically they asked for 200k 'up front' for some white paper, and he wasn't even a bit suspicious?
How stupid would you have to be?? Words fail me!
no, this guy looks like a Hilary voter
The dude claiming to be scammed was in on counterfeiting money. And is mad he got played.
The scam works based on the other guy´s greed. He was expecting like $1.6MM of the 5 MM they were gong to smuggle, or something like that.
"You selling your restaurant? Let me pay you with these white dollar bills... just give me 200k for soap to wash the money I'm paying you with."
That's not a scam, that's a Three Stooges skit.
i feel bad if other family members were affected by him being so stupid
He´s the only one in the family that can read and write..
Lmaooooo 💯🍜😂
😭😭
They probably offered to buy the business for $300,000. The catch was they needed $200,000 up front they would convert the bills and he would end up with $300,000 for the sale of his resturant.
I definitely wouldn't eat at this dudes restaurant. You'd order a pizza from him, he'd come back with a strawberry banana smoothie instead
That's why he's trying to sell it lol
You order a pizza. He serves you a round cardboard box. For $50 you can purchase chemicals to turn this in a real pizza. To me it still taste like cardboard with a chemical after taste.
@teddytac253 💀💀💀💀💀
He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed
I would have just let them wine and dine me over the course of several weeks acting interested in the deal and then taken off after that.
Makes you wonder how long he tried dyeing the money before he realised they had scammed him , im thinking he tried for a long while .

i had to pause it while i finished laughing.

The worst part is that scammers NEVER GET CAUGHT. You can scare them off but I have never heard of a scammer getting caught and being sent to prison for life.

This is extreme but most average people believe in crazy shit.
Religion doesnt need proof.
Laws like age where if 2 17 year olds agree to fuck most Americans are cool with it or dont care but if a 17 year old has sex with someone over 18 and both agree they have a problem with it when they could have a problem with both or neither.
If a 17 year old said they wanted to fuck a 5 year old most Americans would have a problem with that but not with 2 17 year olds fucking each other when they could view them both as the same thing.
These examples just promote humans are stupid.
For that amount best to have the bankers exchange the money.
avoiding taxes
when have bankers stole money?
Since when do you involve a bank in a scam?
The Mafia won't allow you to pay your monthly protection money via direct debit .... because it's traceable, and your local street-corner drug dealer doesn't accept MasterCard for the same reason.
The scammers in this case aren't going to deal with banks, and they make their target wary of using a bank by making them complicit in the 'crime' of receiving illegally smuggled money.
@Johnson Black Ha ha ha ha ha ha snort cough snort. Joking right?
American with basic education meet two Africans with PhD from the University of Crime Hustle and Hardship. This should been made into a movie.😅😅😅
LOL, I love how he thought the money was "illegally brought into the country" & still went with the scheme but once he knew he was scammed he cries that the government should do something!
Yea, part of his rationale for going along with this scheme appears to be because it's supposedly sticking it to the govt.
you guys act like he was trying to evade taxes. not at all the case. the guy was just stupid.
Crooked, the scammers' rationale was that they were avoiding declaring the "money" they were bringing (supposedly illegally), which suggests that it was about avoiding currency import duties (aka taxes). That the idiot 'knowingly' went along with this shows that he was complicit in their illegal scheme to avoid taxes ... therefore "he was trying to evade taxes".
It's that simple.
not at all. learn the law before you speak.
lol ... what Diploma Mill issued your law degree?
Scam only works if you are greedy, if it seems to be too good to be true, avoid it like the plague.
I wish this scamming would be on the US news daily for the elderly faithfully watch the news every day. My grandparents don’t watch UA-cam. I thank this young man for sharing his story and the news for sharing on UA-cam for the younger people. I really hope this gets investigated more seriously. My son told me about it and the stories break my heart!
They wined and dined him for weeks and he never once thought to google it?

I hate getting scammed, happens to me every week when the government takes money out of my paycheck...
and gives it to israel for no. reason. at. all.
SkillsComps™ technically the Government owns the IRS
... really then who pays for your insurances, security, roads?
Anon T The ignorance is real with this one. Do u also believe in the illuminati?
That's what's call legal scamm lol
I respect him for being willing to go public with getting scammed to help others, but who would fall for something so ridiculous? You want to buy my restaurant? I'd say great, put the money in my bank account and when the bank confirms it's cleared, you get the title.
Man I can’t believe this guy was so gullible.
But good on him for coming forward, and letting others know
Perhaps he’s only attempting to place himself above suspicion by “coming forward”.
He got scammed $200k while I am here struggling for every penny to feed me and my kids.

I LOVE the fact that the victims were able to leave that message to the assistance team. They were ables to tell that guy, they are no longer victims! you are such an awesome force *VortexTrace* be reckoned and that is why I watch you!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!
I think we must note that the big reason they tricked him is because he was blinded by the way these people carried themselves and how they treated him.
I don't get it... he paid them to get the chemicals to wash the cash and the payment was $200,000 that wouldn't be economical if it was true.
I think he paid them a lesser amount for the chemicals & the greater amount of "cash" that needed to be mixed w chemicals.
I agree, took me while to figure that out. What I don't get is why couldn't he just ask the "buyers" to treat the bleached white money first then make the exchange. More simple for everyone and less work for him. Also I think some of the money may legit have been white colored and they demonstrated the process with a few bills to increase his confidence that the rest was legit (not sure about this however).
The Menagerie K . Unfortunately for dummies doesn’t say anything - easy comes-easy goes
It says his parents owned a shop in Cali so I assume the shop, being in Cali, was worth a few million. Even just for the space.
They say they will reimburse you once the money is washed. So it would cost 200k but once its done he would get that 200k back. I think you are the type of people that would be scammed by this since none of you even thought to think about that. WOW!
when I saw the title, I thought maybe it actually was a clever scam, boy was I wrong
For Fox viewers, it is.
I'm surprised they didn't sell him some magic beans that grow into a giant beanstalk
If this was a movie, I'd quickly turn it off cause I would never believe a human to be so dumb.
Imagine when he told his family that story
Kudos. Good point. 👏 😎👍
lmfao...like dad he said like the money was gonna come back then disappear dude
dude they're gone..they moved....locked him out, left no forwarding address!! lol
Dad smacked him I hope
If he even had a family.
Ha! ha! ha! ha! This is honestly killing me! Damn son...... Thats some next level dumb there.
reminds me of when i sent 90k to Nigerian lawyers who were looking for a relative of a far distant uncle i never knew existed who had millions of dollars and no heir....
Dang, yet another 'clever scam' with these brilliant criminals never stop?
HAHA and he was in charge of selling the family business.
Exactly, what a sucker haha
Cannot imagine someone could be that naive. Or call it stupid.
Just because he's dumb Doesn't mean he deserved to be robbed. Think of the hackers out there that could ruin you just because you're not as smart when it comes to cyber security and computer code. The people that should be catching the hate are the scammers.
The people who ridicule the man do so to conceal their own blatant insecurities. Instead of simply improving themselves, they would instead drag down those who are already lower than them in a given characteristic. Anyone with common sense would realize that the scam was probably more elaborate than it was recalled, and the man was probably brought up in a sheltered environment. Thank you for being one of the few people in this comment section who can actually analyze the situation beyond face value.
Well no-one deserves to be scammed but honestly, you do have to be pretty dumb to pay 200k for blank paper. Even if it was this magic money, it should still sound sketchy AF anyway....
+ClimberGreg
People often call others "stupid", where oftentimes the answer is "naive". Everyone will go through life merely to learn something new every day, and some of that knowledge would have never been imagined by the individual prior to witnessing it for themselves. The inability to differentiate between legitimate knowledge and falsified knowledge is gained through experience in dealing with human nature. Someone without that experience risks naive gullibility.
Everyone experiences naivety throughout their lives, as everyone must be born at some point, and growth is a process. However, not everyone is fortunate enough to be born into circumstances which allow for them to understand the true nature of the world. Some parents are obsessive and shelter their children until they are adults, whereas others grow up in environments which do not reflect the harsher realities of the world.
If someone is continuously sheltered throughout their entire lives up until adulthood, then each time that someone provides an unprecedented piece of insight, then it is a given that they are going to believe that such knowledge is sincere. It is once the individual witnesses the nature of true exploitation that they develop the ability to discern truth from deception. Add that onto a clouded judgement, deluded by the prospect of riches, and the scam is surprisingly realistic. Idiocy is not always the answer to the abnormal.
+ClimberGreg
Again, you are making assumptions based on your own interpretation of this video. This video does not provide insight into the full situation, nor does it account for the nature of the social interactions. Automatically claiming that he is "dumb" is no better than a psychologist diagnosing an individual of a mental illness in blatant violation of the Goldwater Rule.
The man may have never had any former issues with scammers, and they might have even been quite decent with his funding. However, this is an isolated incident in which viewers possess foresight, due to the incident having already occurred. Like I stated, combine that fact along with a sheltered upbringing, the individual social circumstances of the scam, and the delusion created by the prospect of financial gain, then the scam becomes significantly more believable.
No one is claiming that what he did was wise by any means, but an individual is not automatically stupid, simply because you project your limited understanding of the situation onto them. For example, in my city there was an individual who transported goods in large trucks from place to place. One day, he swerved into several cars, and I believe multiple were killed in the process. From this information alone, one could say that he was a terrible driver. However, if someone were to look further into the situation, rather than making automatic assumptions of his inherent "flaw" of poor driving, then they would have known that the man actually had a stroke, which resulted in the accident. A number of circumstances can ultimately result in a situation occurring, both external and internal factors.
That's totally different cuz they just take....this dumb fuck actually believed he could change paper to money lmao
So...Joe Dirt does exist!

Why would he buy the money? I dont get what he lost?
@@mysteryman2219 I was confused too but I think the scammers told him that they need $200k for the chemicals to turn their $200k into real money. So he gave them $200k of his own money
It's good that he came forward. Years ago, my boss at work borrowed $1000 and then quit and took off with my money- I told everyone at work but everyone told me that they also gave him money - but told me not to tell anyone because they were embarrassed. I was like "NO"! People need to know so this doesn't happen again. Now when anyone asks me to borrow money i tell them to "ask Joe (with his last name) - my ex-boss - He's got the $1000 for you".
"Secret service needs to do something" yeah, call the avengers I'm sure you believe they are real
The secret service is original purpose and still to this day is to ensure the security of the US dollar ie counterfeit bills and even people saying white slips of paper are money that just need to be treated that does fall on under their jurisdiction I don't know if he knew that but that is facts.
@@ceterfo they consider white paper as counterfeit money?
@@drogonkarma Yes.

Seems to me this guy wanted cash to avoid taxes.
Same guy went to a travel agency to book a trip for his family. His initial concerns about taking his family on a trip to the sun were alleviated when the travel agent explained that they would be going at night.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
This why scammers have no remorse when playing on peoples greed , because the “love” of money, is the “root” of all evil ! When you accept the premise in the name of greed, from that point on its you !
No cure for stupidity
Now, even a baby wouldn’t have fell for that 🤦🏽♀️
What a idiot he prolly believes in the 🎅 and the Easter bunny
White dyed bills? Tell this guy to call me, I have the real black dyed bills.
He looks like the trucker version of Oliver Queen.

Craigslist? Isn't that what brokers are for?
Abunai One Craisins is fine this dude is just an idiot
Sorry to hear this happened to you man. At least you had the courage to come out and go public for others to see, maybe it'll help others. I know when it comes to big transactions people don't have the same insight as they would if they weren't part of that conversation.
TransHerring help others from what? their own fucktardness? who the fuck would beleive that???
I Like Turtles I'm sorry but you're right how and why the fuck would you ever beleive that.
I Like Turtles only a drug addict. Or someone who has no common sense, literally none at all.
TransHerring big transaction? conversation? they should of tools him it's 500 dollar bills and he probably would of believed them cuz they dress nice. take him out to eat. talk great. look good. drive nice cars. 😂😂😂
tandanman1 they could have probably told him they where rare 5,000 dollar bills.😂😂😂😂
This man needs a financial guardian for life.
not even the elderly would fall for this lmao
The funniest part of this is that he though they would bring American bills from Europe. What fucking sense does that make?
EXACTLY lmfaooo
He's probably the same sort of idiot that doesn't realise they use different money in Europe.
Dumbass Guy: "Yurop? ... that's in Paris, right?"
Nigerian scammer 1: "I can see you must be well-travelled sir"
Nigerian scammer 2: "We are acting on behalf on the King of Europe, who needs to invest his money in America before the government takes it all in taxes."
Dumbass Guy: "I hate taxes, and I can see by your accents and shiny-ass suits that you must be serious businessmen."
Nigerian scammer 1: "... indeed sir - now if you can just wire your payment to Kraphole, Nigeria ... because, you know, taxes."
Dumbass Guy: "My grandpappy sed never trust them wire companies - how about I jest give you this here suitcase full of money?"
Nigerian scammers: "That will also be acceptable, it's a pleasure doing business here in the land of the free."
LOL
The old Magic Beans trick.
what they were proposing was illegal, that should have been your first clue. greed is a terrible thing
My feelings when I heard this guy was scammed out of family’s savings: 😱😠. My feelings when I heard how: 😑.
I would love the scammers to wine and dine me and then I'm gone 🤣🤣🙏
The suspects think they're blessed by ripping this man off no they're not blessed they may think they are but their thrill will be gone and then they have to answer to God
this seem like a scam within itself..scamception?
