I totally just got a text from a scam company like this two days ago! Good to know! I do have info set up with legit temp referral companies, so I was sus but curious. The obvious red flag was being replied to by a whole other number â˜ ï¸ time to block/report these guys for sure!
15 years ago I was doing these kinda jobs for a quick buck, most weren't scams. Crazy how fast things changed.
This is excellent, we need a team of people like the peoples call centre to scam the scammers out of $50 and put it in a fund to help scammed people get repaid.
so.. if you hit up a new account every hour then 50 buck per hour isn't that bad.
I think this is the first time I've seen you make money out of a scam, You usually allow yourself to get scammed voluntarily for the sake of saving other people, But I guess you deserve a treat once in a while for your efforts.
This was almost me . I got an email from my school email and almost deposited a fake check into my bank but thanks to watching your videos I took the information I learned from you and decided not to do it and come to find out it was a scam . Thank u pleasant green !

At some point you just gotta think if you're dumb enough to fall for this shit you deserve it.
THE COUCH IS BACK!! 😀
pig butchering.
Tech scams we will keep scamming americans😂
11:06 this succulent chinese meal is what they call 'democracy manifest'
There are websites where automated replys by AI and stuff are forbidden, but if a human presses the "send" button, the AI reply counts as done by a human. Because i know that, and i am sure i am not the only one, it seems likely to get paid for clicking a button. Sure those tasks are mostly done by third world contrtries for 1$ an hour, but still.
The last time u got in this type of scam, you actually reinvested. I am glad u hv learnt ur lesson. 😂
I hate these task scams. A lot of old people here are easily duped and they even held mass gatherings to "celebrate" their "hiring"
I was wondering if the fake review thing could be connected to actual fake reviews in e-commerce sites.
In other words, they could double dip by scamming people as well as getting money from fake reviews.
Probably this is not the case, but I wouldn't be too surprised if that will happen
Ha 😅, I literally got a text like this an hour prior 2 watching this.
The job market it's becoming tough for scammers too, if they are ready to risk losing real money to catch victims /s
Jokes apart, in my view, this is a way to get people deeper into the scam, trust it, and spend all.they have into it.
Those 50 bucks are an investment for these scammers… They know that most people will not cash out immediately.
They took the scam website down before I could make my 50 dollars lol😂
07:15 what a beautiful and creative language. We all need to learn from the Chinese
Didn't you already do something like this?? 🤔
So you're telling me I can make 58 bucks a pop? How do I get scammers to reach out to me?
The Aina person's a dude. They called themselves "è€å“ which is what dudes will say when they're trying to talk down to others (I can't think of a good equivalent in english cuz I don't think there really is one) but females will usually use "è€å¨˜" instead of "è€å“.
Remember to write your fake info down, so you don't make a mistake telling you are from Denver instead of Californien in the future 😉
They couldn’t even spell Stagwell correctly in the messages sent (STAGWEL), if that alone wasn’t a red flag, then nothing would be.
Yesterday I saw a report on a woman who sent these type of scammers almost 100k in eight days. She thought she was working for Letterboxd reviewing videos and video clips. Bitcoin was involved, her account went into a minus credit, they may have let her cash out twice. So she got the money she put in plus commission on top, but the third time she tried to cash out. There was a cliche in the system what they were fixing, but she kept sending them money, because she was getting the commissions on her account. Yes it's greed, no job will ask you to credit your account in bitcoin in order to get a high commission for doing almost nothing. It was only on the 8th day she realised she was not working for letterboxd and she had sent $100k to scammers.
Easiest way to get scam text messages is to sign up for a text now number, then reverse the scam on them
Pretty much every single time these people want me to contact them on Whatsapp/signal/teams/skype then I already know there's a 99% chance that they're trying to scam me and just block them
when the scammer is swearing at you in Chinese and saying some really messed up things that they shouldn't say you know they are mad and how did she look up your ip address? cuz you never mentioned surfshark once what a disappointment
Ben Dover scammed the scammer
Scamming a scammer! Well played. Whenever a new scam shows up, you always find a way to beat them at their own game. I love that.
Out of curiosity, I put the text at 10:37 through Google Translate and now I wish I didn't. What the scammer said to you is so evil and freakish that one can only hope she ends up going to hell for it…
That’s crazy you got paid by them to waste their time
The sound after he says “Chinese†😂😂😂😂
This "work" feels like the "macrodata refinement" the workers do in Severance.
I use WhatsApp quite a bit and I get these at least once every month, I have played along with several and they are all identical to what you are seeing but they always have different products (never run into the same people twice). Its amazing how many there must be out there.
I want to do this. Scam a scammer.
I once found one of this scams. It was not the same but it was quite similar. When they asked me to reload my account I created a fake screenshot and it worked. Then I got around $15-20 and I tried to push them to see how far I could get. They realized it and left after I sent them back around $10 to see if they bought it. At least I got to keep $5 😅
They tried the same thing with me too. 😂
Someone share the links 😅
Please how can I get to "Anna lucas"
Finally u uploaded 🔥
Great video !! â¤ðŸŽ‰ thank you for sharing
was nice to see you colab with kitboga today on his twitch stream….. thanks Mike Rafone…..
I have a way to stop this one if everyone just dose the first part and gets paid then quit and make a new account and do it again we will be taking the scammers money and if we do this over and over there end up having to quit bc there's run out of money
Hmmm 🤔 this could be a potentially viable way for scam baiters to robin hood money to scam victims the only issue is that it would take hundreds of hours and hundreds of accounts to help even small percentage of victims
You said the only reason they would have you do this is to scam you but actually thats only 99% correct. It's actually either to scam you, or to use you to scam others.
Because the old version of this scam is getting people to make purchases and leave fake reviews. A amazon or youtube seller can sell a bunch of cheap items and then start selling expensive items and running with the money. However, you cant easily or cheaply get a bot to do this for you because a lot of websites will track IP addresses and other identifying factors specifically to prevent people from using bots. You would need a proxy for every user, and then to reconfigure time on your pc, browser, etc.. However, if you get real users doing it, it looks like more authentic traffic.
So basically they are either scamming you, or using you to scam others. Either way not something people should be doing.
Hi Ben my uncle just got scammed by people pretending to be his internet provider I called the number he gave me and they answered immediately and then I called the real customer service number and they called the number and said that is most definitely not them
This type is very common in India and lot of people fall prey given the temptation of easy money.
Its an additional risk in india given the scammers use online payment modes for cashing out, putting people in trouble with law enforcement
This type of scam been popular in Malaysia for quite some time. Personally got people around me got scammed because of initial payment. Easy manipulation to non tech savvy people.
