My parents used to be SO pedantic when it came to buying stuff on eBay back in the day. I would buy stuff like used CDs and handmade crafts and they would lecture about how I didn't know the quality of the item, I didn't know if I would be scammed, this person may keep your address for nefarious reasons, etc. etc. The worst that ever happened on eBay is that I got a scratched copy of "London Calling" while my oh-so careful parents purchased a CAR, sight unseen, no test drives, and ended up spending more on repairs than they did for the car itself. I didn't point out the irony to them because they were already mad enough.
same. parents can be dumb like that, my parents did the same thing again and again. they talk about how taking on debt is bad and then buy a junk car that uses really much fuel and breaks immediately "to save money" and spend way way more than they ever would have paid in interest. I eventually convinced my dad that buying a more expensive car is cheaper in the long run however his execution was terrible, he bought a junked Mercedes and spend thousands fixing it up Taking a year doing it and spending so much he could have just bought it from a dealership with warranty as a perfect condition 1st hand car instead.. parents never learn

I've watched almost every Business Blaze video searching for what makes a Business Blaze video a Business Blaze video. It has always eluded me, until today. I had an epiphany! There are two things, and only two things, that are common threads through every Business Blaze video. The MAIN defining attribute: Simon whining about how long the script is!

I’m pretty sure the day ETA trips him with its power cord and he smacks his head, everything is going to get jumbled up in there. Then all the cocaine before each different show will make him just spout out random facts he’s read over the past 10 years like some sort of Encyclopedic Tourette’s.

My aunt has fallen for 5 Of those dating scams. She sent thousands of dollars to 2 different "Nigerian Princes", a "man" from Uganda, a "man" from Ghana and a guy from right here in the US...
Back when I was dating I met tons of romance scammers once a guy asked for money he was reported and I moved on their first message always starts off with hello dear or hello beautiful. I recently fell for a scam that ended with the guy hacking my Facebook page and locking me out of it completely. He was supposedly from Kenya and needed a card for $100 to pay his phone bill. I felt incredibly stupid once I realized he was a scammer. Now I just don't talk to anyone I don't already know.

xXNightmareXx28 I’ve been watching Simon since he used to apologize for mispronunciations. I defended him then, and told them stfu basically. Then he would apologize in advance. Now, he tells them to F off. 👏👏👍. My boy’s come a long way!
Any time you learn something new, even if it is completely useless trivia like the fact that Nigeria has a space program, your day has not been wasted, even if *you* are. 😄
Simon, something tells me you might want to bring up that drone issue with the Prague police and see if the Czech government could return the drone to the British cops for you.
8:19 Flashback to Simon Whistler, 8 years old. Also, should be obvious by now we come here precisely because of Danny's rambling style rather than the usual more or less concise style of the writers on Simon's other channels.
I feel like it only seems like Danny has a rambling style because Simon stops to comment every three sentences. This is most certainly not a bad thing.
I kinda thought Danny wrote for all the channels and they just edited out all Simon's rants. Then on this one by the time Simon figured out that Danny knows NOTHING about business, the channel had a following of people who are learning nothing about business. Then he only mentioned Danny being locked in the basement on this channel so he could deflect blame for the lack of educational content.
A buddy of mine just barely escaped being scammed. He answered a job listing, and after a few way-too-good-to-be-true emails, was sent a check for several thousand dollars, instructed to take an unreasonable first week's pay out and send the rest to a third party to 'fast track' a delivery. He ended up taking the check to the bank it was apparently drawn on, and was told it was as fake as could be, and in fact, the FBI had so many complaints there wasn't any point in calling them, but the check was worthless, and they wouldn't cash or deposit it. Had he deposited it into his personal bank account, he would have been on the hook for thousands of dollars when the check bounced.
@@MashMonster69 😂. Well great I'll sign. Simon could just clone himself or make less videos for other channels. That TIFO has 2 5 m subs and BB has 177k is not our problem 😂
My sister got an email from someone claiming to be me who was stranded in a different country and needing money to get home, it worried her enough to call me and ask if I was in trouble. The amusing part of that scam is that I don't even have a passport. For a short while some alternate version of me was have a far more exciting life than I've ever had. Just glad my sister has a good head on her shoulders and called me before doing anything else.
I love how Simon has so many channels, he's quickly becoming my favorite personality on TH-cam, and this channel specifically is probably my favorite, right after Biographics which is how I first heard of him lol.
Charles is highly intelligent. He's not allowed to speak unless "Simon says". Simon is terribly controlling and abusive, and Charles suffers awful punishments for daring to express himself. Common tactics of abusers, cult leaders... That's also why Simon continually calls him ETA instead of Charles, denial of and theft of his identity #FreeCharles
I once saw a TH-cam Video in which a guy reported how he had ordered an expensive digital camera, and received the original box, filled with a brick. He complained, and the company was quite irritated, but finally sent a replacement. He turned his video camera on, filmed how he opened the shrinkwrapped - suspicially heavy - package, and again held some basic construction material in his hands. Turned out, the company had a worker that opened the boxes while they were kept in the storage, took the cameras out in order to sell them on the black market, and filled the boxes with rubble. Then he would shrink wrap them again, and return them to the shelves. Regarding the flood of COVID-related domain names: A good deal of these phishing pages imitate legit ones, in order to divert funds that were meant to help small business owners out. Over here in Germany it even happened that they had their pages up faster than the real public services.

NO you are correct! I myself like the irony of how Trump and Johnston BOTH have such nice hair. Though, I haven't noticed if Boris' hair changes from white to yellow like Trump's does.
Simon I've seen that Mitchell & Webb skit before and found it amusing, but your cocaine fueled rant about the skit is what made me actually laugh out loud.
*Drug drone:* ETA's younger step brother that nobody talks to because he's kinda sketchy ya know? But nothing's been proven so they can't in good conscience cut contact so he's just put into the corner to sulk.
When you get annoyed at the adverts and tell them to "shut the fuck up" and then the video starts with Simon also screaming "shut the fuck up". Legendary.
Why does it make me sad when Simon says he isn't funny, like it feels like self consciousness more than self awareness and I just wanna give him a pat on the back and say 'you're doin good lad, keep it up'😭
This actually happened to my s.o.'s grandma. She recieved an email saying that her grandson ( my s.o.) was in another country and was in legal trouble and in prison ( which all sounds ludicrous if you know him ), but she fell for it. Naively she ended up sending over 2k before actually contacting the family and finding out if he was actually in trouble, which, of course he wasn't. These scams are evil, but are especially heinous if they are exploiting little old ladies who think they are rescuing their grandbabies.
In Denmark has the same tv licens, but its called media licens so you have to pay if you have a device(you pay by household not per device) that can connect to the internet, because its possible to watch our broadcaster TV (DR) its around 130 pounds a year. It used to rely on you telling them when you have such a device, but now you pay via taxes.
Few years ago we went on Craigslist to look for an apartment. Damned if the Nigerians hadn't latched onto that. They look through real estate listings of homes for sale placing ads for rentals with a said house's listing copy. When someone bites, they'll say something they're a local priest who's been transferred to Africa (which was where we bailed out because we were familiar with advance-fee rental scams). To complete this for the unfamiliar, the scam is that in order to get the keys you were supposed to wire them first months rent and deposit. You're out money and you don't get keys. Luckily the house we'd been interested in was only a few blocks from the one we were thinking of leaving (we never did, BTW) so we could wander over for a look-see. There was no 'for rent' sign out front. We figured out they were cribbing real estate listing for potential 'houses' by googling the text from another one of their listings and finding that it matched a house for sale. Found a few of those. So if you put a house on offer, Nigerians are ready to lease it out for you - only without your knowing about it...
The TV license thing is still a thing in Japan as well. Every other month I get mail in my mailbox with a blank form and a pamphlet about taxes and other stuff about the NHK and the contribution it asks you to pay and stuff. Whenever I see one, to the bin it goes.
Danny, you can escape. Fix the drug drone and attach ETA. Fly him out a open window. If you need help I'm certain Raid: Shadow Legends will fund your escape. Note: Charles/ ETA dies at the end.

I gotta say long time watcher trying to catch up on the backlog I've missed over the years. Gotta love Simon going ballistic on an 8 minute intro and immediately waning and waxing on shit and apologizing for the tangent.
My uncle has been scammed so many times, once going so far as to give the scammers posing as Microsoft his bank info and went to Walmart to buy gift certificates that he was supposed to send to the "company" as payment. The manager of Walmart was alerted since he was asking for $200 in gift certificates and not a simple $25 card. They asked him why so many certs, he told them about the emails, and they explained to him it's a scam and he had better freeze his bank account ASAP. Instead he called me, still asking if he should pay because "it looks real." I was so frustrated and told him to freeze literally everything: credit cards, bank account, freeze it all now!!! This was maybe the 10th time he had fallen for email scams, he's lost hundreds of dollars at a time yet never learns, but this time he was VERY lucky that the scammers had not wiped him out, probably stupidly waiting for the gift certificates to be purchased, rather than take the bank info and drain the account right away.
AAH, it's the plot of the count of Monte Cristo. Abé Fariah: I know of a treasure, hidden. Only I know where it lies! Edmond Dantes: GUARD!!!! There's a scammer in my cell!
Between putting people in and getting people out of space(assuming a preexisting station), getting someone out of space would be far harder.

I grew up in foster care, that way I came across countless of middle-aged to elderly people with mental issues. I know one middle-aged guy that was actively sending money to scammers, his caretakers weren't trying to stop him and he wouldn't listen to me. It's really sad.
I’m Nigerian and this was embarrassing to watch. You can’t begin to imagine how many opportunities honest, hardworking and brilliant youths lost because of these menace.....you have no idea how difficult it is to do the simplest of things, like freelancing and you have to hide your Country to avoid not getting hired!
LMAO!!! I clicked the business blaze episode. Immediately a content warning consumed the screen. First thought...'Simon, you Legend, what could you and Danny have possibly cooked up to deserve that?' Laughing as I'm thinking it. Then it turns out to be an ad for something else....My slight disappointment makes me laugh harder.
I'm sure somebody else has already responded to it, but the "Superman scheme" to which Simon refers is officially referred to as "Salami Slicing", and it involves not just pennies but fractions of pennies. It was used most famously as the plot of "Superman III", as well as "Office Space" (in which Superman III was even referenced as the source). The scam generally involves taking fractions of cents that are ignored/lost due to rounding of percentages.
"this is making me never want to buy anything on Ebay again. . ." . . . . i came to that conclusion 15 years ago. . . with the power sellers ripping you off , taking your money and then sending you the wrong product or not sending it at all or giving you a fake tracking number or people buying your shit and then lying and claiming that they never received it etc. . .
That's what feedback research and tracking numbers are for. I've dealt with eBay for something like two decades now, and only twice had to send a claim through eBay's fraud department to get my money back. Out of literally several hundreds of transactions, that's not bad at all.
There actually was a former soviet cosmonaut who was stranded in the mir space station when the soviet union dissolved. He did get down several months after he was supposed to, becoming a citizen of a country that didn't exist the last time he was on earth. He was also one of the first cosmonauts in the international space station when it was made years later
I used to work in a bank call center. Once an older man called me for he's banking details because he got an e-mail from the UN that he had won 1 million dollars in a raffle. Now he had to send he's banking details to their South African department to receive the money. I had to tell him the bad news that this was most definitely a scam. A long sigh on the other end of the line and "Yeah.. I kind of guessed." Dont ever give any of your banking details to anyone people! 😂
My dear, sweet, old aunt fell for the Microsoft scam. Some foreign dude called her up and told her that he could see that she had a computer virus. At first, she tried telling them she'd have to take care of it at another time because she couldn't afford to deal with it then (she's VERY poor). Of course, they don't take no for an answer. Eventually, they convince her that SWAT has surrounded her apartment due to some mystery, unpaid IRS debt she had no idea she owed, but they would leave her alone if she paid (it was something over $300) immediately. So, she gives them her emergency credit card information and they call off the SWAT team. Afterwards, she calls up all her relatives to relay the crazy incident that just happened to her. Of course, we ALL told her what really just happened and that she needed to cancel the transaction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her credit card company told her she was shit out of luck because she willingly gave them her credit card info.
I attempted to buy an L shaped desk for my computer needs for a price that was rather low. After waiting for a few weeks I started emailing the "seller" asking what was the delay because I should have gotten the tracking info for the package. Then the "seller's" website became unreachable. I took the matter up with PayPal who got a document from the "seller" with a USPS tracking number showing the package as delivered to my city and based on that document ruled in favor of the "seller". I live in an ALF and would have been informed if the package had actually been delivered to this location because it would have been left with the receptionist. I contacted the USPS and after some conversations about what they couldn't tell me about the supposed delivery they sent me an email showing that while they couldn't say what address the package with the tracking number in question was delivered to it wasn't my address. Aside from the address being not mine the desk was supposed to weigh over 50 pounds but the package delivered didn't even weigh a full ounce. After I supplied the information to PayPal they reversed their finding and refunded my money. The purpose of me sharing this story is to advise everyone to make sure to do all you can working with the powers that be to try to be sure you recover your money. BTW, if PayPal hadn't come through I still could have gone to my bank who could have investigated my claim locally.
Man I am NOT surprised that scams based on internet dating exist. I was being harassed on MSN back in the day by random dudes who somehow got my handle and would just be like "I LOVE YOU" out of nowhere. I never could figure out what they thought they were going to get with that shit but maybe it was an early attempt, IDEK.
I enjoy stringing scammers along. I enjoy tormenting them and baiting them and feel no remorse whatsoever. The way I see it, the longer I can keep them preoccupied with me, the less time they’ll have to scam somebody else.
My recently widowed mother-in-law has been suckered into the lonely hearts scams. Multiple times now by different perpetrators. No amount of talking to her will make her understand, and she is running out of things to sell to fund her stupidity.

Sometimes big businesses and corrupt governments get scammed into helping donate to charity or provide for the community - it'd be a good video.
Getting in early on a pyramid scheme?
@@brainblaze6526 That was awesome.
SImon: No one is here to learn
Also Simon: Nigeria has a space program!
I don't know about you all, but I learned something.
True.
Any time you learn something new, even if it is completely useless trivia like the fact that Nigeria has a space program, your day has not been wasted, even if *you* are. 😄
Simon, something tells me you might want to bring up that drone issue with the Prague police and see if the Czech government could return the drone to the British cops for you.
That sounds like something I absolutely don't want to do. Lol.
Welp, we've found where Simon gets his cocaine from..... *Allegedly*
ALEGENDLY
And how he kept himself supplied through lockdown!
@@DoverNDollysMom Time to start a new channel called "Blaze Business"?
8:19 Flashback to Simon Whistler, 8 years old.
Also, should be obvious by now we come here precisely because of Danny's rambling style rather than the usual more or less concise style of the writers on Simon's other channels.
I feel like it only seems like Danny has a rambling style because Simon stops to comment every three sentences. This is most certainly not a bad thing.
@@Cetega lol indeed
I kinda thought Danny wrote for all the channels and they just edited out all Simon's rants. Then on this one by the time Simon figured out that Danny knows NOTHING about business, the channel had a following of people who are learning nothing about business. Then he only mentioned Danny being locked in the basement on this channel so he could deflect blame for the lack of educational content.
A buddy of mine just barely escaped being scammed. He answered a job listing, and after a few way-too-good-to-be-true emails, was sent a check for several thousand dollars, instructed to take an unreasonable first week's pay out and send the rest to a third party to 'fast track' a delivery.
He ended up taking the check to the bank it was apparently drawn on, and was told it was as fake as could be, and in fact, the FBI had so many complaints there wasn't any point in calling them, but the check was worthless, and they wouldn't cash or deposit it.
Had he deposited it into his personal bank account, he would have been on the hook for thousands of dollars when the check bounced.
I’d like to begin a formal petition for business blaze episodes to be released daily
I'll sign 😂. But than when will Simon sleep?
@@stephjovi not our problem.
@@MashMonster69 😂. Well great I'll sign. Simon could just clone himself or make less videos for other channels. That TIFO has 2

BLAZE
@@jonnunn4196 the covid pandemic quite literally saved my life. Id be dead now if it didnt happen. Gave me the opportunity to clean up my life.
My sister got an email from someone claiming to be me who was stranded in a different country and needing money to get home, it worried her enough to call me and ask if I was in trouble. The amusing part of that scam is that I don't even have a passport. For a short while some alternate version of me was have a far more exciting life than I've ever had. Just glad my sister has a good head on her shoulders and called me before doing anything else.
Haven’t watched yet but I bet raid shadow legends is going to get mentioned a lot.
Edit: Surprised.
Simon basically gives them free advertising
I had never heard about Raid Shadow Legends before Simon mentioned them.
Nope, not a single raid mention. No legend for you.
I SWEAR AS I SIT HERE TYPING THIS THERE WAS A RAID SHADOW LEGENDS AD AT THE END OF THE VIDEO. SIMON WHY?!
I love how Simon has so many channels, he's quickly becoming my favorite personality on TH-cam, and this channel specifically is probably my favorite, right after Biographics which is how I first heard of him lol.
Siri is about as useful as ETA when it comes to answering questions.
Charles is highly intelligent. He's not allowed to speak unless "Simon says". Simon is terribly controlling and abusive, and Charles suffers awful punishments for daring to express himself. Common tactics of abusers, cult leaders... That's also why Simon continually calls him ETA instead of Charles, denial of and theft of his identity
#FreeCharles
I once saw a TH-cam Video in which a guy reported how he had ordered an expensive digital camera, and received the original box, filled with a brick. He complained, and the company was quite irritated, but finally sent a replacement. He turned his video camera on, filmed how he opened the shrinkwrapped - suspicially heavy - package, and again held some basic construction material in his hands. Turned out, the company had a worker that opened the boxes while they were kept in the storage, took the cameras out in order to sell them on the black market, and filled the boxes with rubble. Then he would shrink wrap them again, and return them to the shelves.
Regarding the flood of COVID-related domain names: A good deal of these phishing pages imitate legit ones, in order to divert funds that were meant to help small business owners out. Over here in Germany it even happened that they had their pages up faster than the real public services.
When are we getting an SC Johnson Raid Insecticide ad read in the style of Raid Shadow Legends?
honestly i live in a basement and raid is so vital to my existence also this would be hilarious
"Smith & Weston"
"Barnes & Nobles"
"Zero & Fucksgiven"
@@brainblaze6526 Fucksgiven sounds more British than I would have imagined for some reason...allegedly.
You can't watch Simon the same way on his serious channels after watching multiple Business Blaze episodes.
Can you please have an array of mugs sitting on your desk, out of shot, and each time you take a sip, pick up a different mug? Bonus points if the mug is somehow related to the content!
Well technically I do... in the kitchen,
@@brainblaze6526 UH hello... show us the kitchen!
Is it me or does Boris Johnston look alot like Gary Busey ?!?!?!?!
NO you are correct! I myself like the irony of how Trump and Johnston BOTH have such nice hair. Though, I haven't noticed if Boris' hair changes from white to yellow like Trump's does.
Simon I've seen that Mitchell & Webb skit before and found it amusing, but your cocaine fueled rant about the skit is what made me actually laugh out loud.
*Drug drone:* ETA's younger step brother that nobody talks to because he's kinda sketchy ya know? But nothing's been proven so they can't in good conscience cut contact so he's just put into the corner to sulk.
When you get annoyed at the adverts and tell them to "shut the fuck up" and then the video starts with Simon also screaming "shut the fuck up". Legendary.
Seems like this is the "Coming to America" meme episode.... 😂
thank you for the name of the film dear sir ☺️
I adore the fact that I got ad-roll right in the middle of Simon's Jesus and Christ in regards to Danny's long introductions.
This could be renamed to: how to scam on ebay

Guess we just heard the origin story of Simons cocaine addiction.
Found so much drugs inside the engines. It was awesome.
@@brainblaze6526 You did check inside of it for drugs?
@@brainblaze6526 Oh, I assumed they meant you got them in prison. Not IN the drone.
This is serendipitous - I recently got into scam busting videos lol. Jim Browning is a legend.
When people ate tide pods no one had covid...... just saying
Big Facts
Lollollol
The math works out
ETA mentioned this a lot.
Walmart has all the detergent pods in locked glass cases. Want to by some, find a Keymaster.
This actually happened to my s.o.'s grandma. She recieved an email saying that her grandson ( my s.o.) was in another country and was in legal trouble and in prison ( which all sounds ludicrous if you know him ), but she fell for it. Naively she ended up sending over 2k before actually contacting the family and finding out if he was actually in trouble, which, of course he wasn't. These scams are evil, but are especially heinous if they are exploiting little old ladies who think they are rescuing their grandbabies.
Did anyone else get a tad bit irritated when he said “Smith and WesTon”?
Let Weston sort it out.
Lol I know right everyone knows it's western
So pull out your Heckler and Kooch and go sort it out.
Came here looking for this comment
Simon's hard work during Corona is appreciated, keep up the good work
New video and stuff, hi
In Denmark has the same tv licens, but its called media licens so you have to pay if you have a device(you pay by household not per device) that can connect to the internet, because its possible to watch our broadcaster TV (DR) its around 130 pounds a year. It used to rely on you telling them when you have such a device, but now you pay via taxes.
Simon rabbit-holing about the Nigerian space program: priceless. You are LEGEND.
Few years ago we went on Craigslist to look for an apartment. Damned if the Nigerians hadn't latched onto that. They look through real estate listings of homes for sale placing ads for rentals with a said house's listing copy.
When someone bites, they'll say something they're a local priest who's been transferred to Africa (which was where we bailed out because we were familiar with advance-fee rental scams). To complete this for the unfamiliar, the scam is that in order to get the keys you were supposed to wire them first months rent and deposit. You're out money and you don't get keys.
Luckily the house we'd been interested in was only a few blocks from the one we were thinking of leaving (we never did, BTW) so we could wander over for a look-see. There was no 'for rent' sign out front.
We figured out they were cribbing real estate listing for potential 'houses' by googling the text from another one of their listings and finding that it matched a house for sale. Found a few of those. So if you put a house on offer, Nigerians are ready to lease it out for you - only without your knowing about it...
The TV license thing is still a thing in Japan as well. Every other month I get mail in my mailbox with a blank form and a pamphlet about taxes and other stuff about the NHK and the contribution it asks you to pay and stuff. Whenever I see one, to the bin it goes.
Danny, you can escape. Fix the drug drone and attach ETA. Fly him out a open window. If you need help I'm certain Raid: Shadow Legends will fund your escape.
Note: Charles/ ETA dies at the end.
"Fascinating stuff! Wtf are we talking about?" Gold.
Me playing this video at breakfast, on the first morning of my 3 weeks vacation...
First 2 seconds didn't disappoint me...
I also wish you a good morning Simon...
I gotta say long time watcher trying to catch up on the backlog I've missed over the years. Gotta love Simon going ballistic on an 8 minute intro and immediately waning and waxing on shit and apologizing for the tangent.
My uncle has been scammed so many times, once going so far as to give the scammers posing as Microsoft his bank info and went to Walmart to buy gift certificates that he was supposed to send to the "company" as payment. The manager of Walmart was alerted since he was asking for $200 in gift certificates and not a simple $25 card. They asked him why so many certs, he told them about the emails, and they explained to him it's a scam and he had better freeze his bank account ASAP. Instead he called me, still asking if he should pay because "it looks real." I was so frustrated and told him to freeze literally everything: credit cards, bank account, freeze it all now!!! This was maybe the 10th time he had fallen for email scams, he's lost hundreds of dollars at a time yet never learns, but this time he was VERY lucky that the scammers had not wiped him out, probably stupidly waiting for the gift certificates to be purchased, rather than take the bank info and drain the account right away.
AAH, it's the plot of the count of Monte Cristo.
Abé Fariah: I know of a treasure, hidden. Only I know where it lies!
Edmond Dantes: GUARD!!!! There's a scammer in my cell!
Between putting people in and getting people out of space(assuming a preexisting station), getting someone out of space would be far harder. In both, ya gotta actually get a capsule to space and dock with the station intact, but to get someone back, you gotta have a spacecraft that can survive reentry.
I grew up in foster care, that way I came across countless of middle-aged to elderly people with mental issues.
I know one middle-aged guy that was actively sending money to scammers, his caretakers weren't trying to stop him and he wouldn't listen to me.
It's really sad.
It's nice to see that ETA the heater is back. Gives me a warm feeling. 😉
I’m Nigerian and this was embarrassing to watch. You can’t begin to imagine how many opportunities honest, hardworking and brilliant youths lost because of these menace.....you have no idea how difficult it is to do the simplest of things, like freelancing and you have to hide your Country to avoid not getting hired!
LMAO!!! I clicked the business blaze episode. Immediately a content warning consumed the screen. First thought...'Simon, you Legend, what could you and Danny have possibly cooked up to deserve that?' Laughing as I'm thinking it. Then it turns out to be an ad for something else....My slight disappointment makes me laugh harder.
Love watching and listening to all your many channels. ETA needs a co-host partner. Like a "you'll never catch me" *DRUG DRONE*
"I've got other channels for that."
Love that line!
>Guy is selling drugs in prison with drones
>Simon allegedly likes drones
>Maybe Simon is the one supplying drones and drugs
It makes me incredibly happy, to hear Simon mention Mitchell and Webb.
I'm sure somebody else has already responded to it, but the "Superman scheme" to which Simon refers is officially referred to as "Salami Slicing", and it involves not just pennies but fractions of pennies. It was used most famously as the plot of "Superman III", as well as "Office Space" (in which Superman III was even referenced as the source). The scam generally involves taking fractions of cents that are ignored/lost due to rounding of percentages.
"this is making me never want to buy anything on Ebay again. . ."
.
.
.

i came to that conclusion 15 years ago. . .
with the power sellers ripping you off , taking your money and then sending you the wrong product or not sending it at all or giving you a fake tracking number or people buying your shit and then lying and claiming that they never received it etc. . .
That's what feedback research and tracking numbers are for. I've dealt with eBay for something like two decades now, and only twice had to send a claim through eBay's fraud department to get my money back. Out of literally several hundreds of transactions, that's not bad at all.
The drone story is Your best story so far 😂😂😂
Y'know, if you were to brew something else in that mug, it could indeed be Three Wolf Tea.
The video starts: *"Shut The F%ck Up."*
Ah, classic Simon. That's the type of blaze that keeps me coming back for more 🔥 😂
There actually was a former soviet cosmonaut who was stranded in the mir space station when the soviet union dissolved. He did get down several months after he was supposed to, becoming a citizen of a country that didn't exist the last time he was on earth. He was also one of the first cosmonauts in the international space station when it was made years later
I used to work in a bank call center. Once an older man called me for he's banking details because he got an e-mail from the UN that he had won 1 million dollars in a raffle. Now he had to send he's banking details to their South African department to receive the money. I had to tell him the bad news that this was most definitely a scam. A long sigh on the other end of the line and "Yeah.. I kind of guessed." Dont ever give any of your banking details to anyone people! 😂
Totally my favorite channel on TH-cam!
My dear, sweet, old aunt fell for the Microsoft scam. Some foreign dude called her up and told her that he could see that she had a computer virus. At first, she tried telling them she'd have to take care of it at another time because she couldn't afford to deal with it then (she's VERY poor). Of course, they don't take no for an answer. Eventually, they convince her that SWAT has surrounded her apartment due to some mystery, unpaid IRS debt she had no idea she owed, but they would leave her alone if she paid (it was something over $300) immediately. So, she gives them her emergency credit card information and they call off the SWAT team.
Afterwards, she calls up all her relatives to relay the crazy incident that just happened to her. Of course, we ALL told her what really just happened and that she needed to cancel the transaction as soon as possible. Unfortunately, her credit card company told her she was shit out of luck because she willingly gave them her credit card info.
I attempted to buy an L shaped desk for my computer needs for a price that was rather low. After waiting for a few weeks I started emailing the "seller" asking what was the delay because I should have gotten the tracking info for the package. Then the "seller's" website became unreachable. I took the matter up with PayPal who got a document from the "seller" with a USPS tracking number showing the package as delivered to my city and based on that document ruled in favor of the "seller". I live in an ALF and would have been informed if the package had actually been delivered to this location because it would have been left with the receptionist. I contacted the USPS and after some conversations about what they couldn't tell me about the supposed delivery they sent me an email showing that while they couldn't say what address the package with the tracking number in question was delivered to it wasn't my address. Aside from the address being not mine the desk was supposed to weigh over 50 pounds but the package delivered didn't even weigh a full ounce. After I supplied the information to PayPal they reversed their finding and refunded my money.
The purpose of me sharing this story is to advise everyone to make sure to do all you can working with the powers that be to try to be sure you recover your money.
BTW, if PayPal hadn't come through I still could have gone to my bank who could have investigated my claim locally.
"Smith and Weston"... LOL.. Just messing with you, though. You're the man, Simon!
Simon: "Welcome back to a brand new Business Blaze"
me (who has never seen a brand new one before): How does he know?!
Man I am NOT surprised that scams based on internet dating exist. I was being harassed on MSN back in the day by random dudes who somehow got my handle and would just be like "I LOVE YOU" out of nowhere. I never could figure out what they thought they were going to get with that shit but maybe it was an early attempt, IDEK.
Sam's memes makes these videos even better than they already are
Imagine being new to the channel and the first thing that greets you is "shut the f*** up"... Gawd I love this channel 😅
I do enjoy rambling Simon. Doing great guys.
20:03 I don't have any kids but I'm sure that would be a very worrying sight for any parent, like "oh shit what now?"
I love this channel, so good to simon on these vibes
I enjoy stringing scammers along. I enjoy tormenting them and baiting them and feel no remorse whatsoever. The way I see it, the longer I can keep them preoccupied with me, the less time they’ll have to scam somebody else.
The Mitchell and Web sketches always get me, that and the Armstrong and Miller show
My recently widowed mother-in-law has been suckered into the lonely hearts scams. Multiple times now by different perpetrators. No amount of talking to her will make her understand, and she is running out of things to sell to fund her stupidity.
