It's sort of funny. My younger sister came into town, she moved clear to the other side of the country. I still live in the same town where we grew up. We went to the house where we used to live. We were just standing outside, not on the property, talking and looking at the house. The owner came out and we explained we live in his house when we were kids. He offered to let us see. He showed us around from the basement all the way to the second floor bedrooms we used to have. We marveled at how much things had changed in the house. Same thing happened when my aunt came up from Florida and we went to Maine (where she was born and grew up). We went to her parents' (my grandparents) gravesites. Went over to the house she was born and lived in until she moved away. We were parked on the street outside and were looking at the house. The owner came home from grocery shopping. We introduced ourselves. The owner offered to show us around. So little had actually changed in that house other than the lady adding a second bathroom upstairs where one of my uncles bedroom had been
I love how scammers go through the trouble of trying to illegally scam you and can't even do it properly. Like if you're gonna try to scam someone you could at least not paint a neon sign on yourself that says "I am scammer."
11:35 reminds me of that one episode of Family Guy where some burglars hold Meg hostage and hold up a sign to the security camera that says "We have your son." Lois in the security mic: "Meg's our daughter." Burglar holds up another sign: "Really?"
8:00 this happened to me once when an old lady tried this on me, we watched her get arrested. Apparently saying you’re the previous owner is hard to prove when my grandfather LITERALLY BUILT IT.
Someone tried to pull the pet scam on me too. Our dog was gone for a month and I was posting everywhere. Someone messaged me saying they had her. They would not send me a pic nor would they confirm her collar or her scar. They kept wanting to “send me a code” to verify ny identity. Fucking pricks.
@@blackrose3217 we did. About 6 miles from home on some back roads. She was skinny and skittish but overall ok. Someone saw her around their property and posted a pic to a fb page for lost or found pets. Needless to say we where very grateful.
The same thing happened with my brothers cat. The cat was found later on but the person was a complete jerk. We didn't know it was a scam at the time and my brother sent the code. The entire time my brother was asking for a picture or to get on call to talk over the phone. My brother was crying the entire time.
My grandmother was called by the cops telling her that I needed 10k for bail. The problem? I had just walked into her front door to take her grocery shopping.
At 10:09. I had that exact thing happen when my kitty went missing. I posted everywhere to try to find her. And so naturally, OFC, I got scam texters. I would get a message saying "I found your cat" or then "I found your pet" and...at first I did believe them that they had her. But at absolutely no point would I give them the 6 digit BS. F them people, seriously. Also, I did get my kitty back. She was really skinny since she went missing but now it's been about 8 months since then, and she has gained her weight back and is now a healthy kitty again. I love her soo much, and she's just our little survivor. She's the best thing in the universe.
The scam at 9:35 is a scam I see all the time at my job. They end up asking if they can write a check for more than the cost. They want you to pay the "delivery driver" the extra they would "pay" with cash and even as a "thank you" let you "keep" $100 or so. The scam is the check bounces and you just gave them a could hundred bucks, plus cupcakes I guess...
I have had that pet scam with a bird of mine. Wanted a reward. When I refused to give him gift cards he started threatening to kill my bird (which he didn’t have) and said he was “leaving it behind.”
What bird? What country? What city? I found a bird 2 months ago and bought some accompanies for her. If you're in Berlin and it's a female budgie and green, i found her. We still haven't found the owner.
@@kaiclyre9227 If it's been gone for a week or longer, probably. A flightless bird can't get very far and if you're in the countryside something will have likely eaten it.
Only scammers that use 200 IQ methods kinda deserve the money, like the guy who somehow got his way into a mobile plan company, and finding out the number of the credit card, then telling the bank that he "lost" it and he got to his address, stealing over 3,000 credit cards before he got caught. However, he was sent to a Canadian prison, and there he legit called the prison, and in an british accent told them he needed to be deported to the United Kingdom. They believed it, and got him a ticket there, thinking once he got off guards would be here, but he called the prison himself, there was no guards and he got away successfully.

14:10 Oh my god, my grandparents literally got this one too. This exact scam. Luckily, I don't call them grandma and grandpa, and they were smart enough to text me too.
Both me and my grandma got something similar. My dad's a truck driver and "he" called us saying that he'd been in a terrible car accident and arrested in South Carolina. I knew it was BS because my mom was on the phone with my dad in the other room at the time, but if my uncle hadn't been visiting my grandma and said "let's call Ken first" she might have actually sent the money.
So fun fact about the cat one, cats-the one non-selfish thing they ever do-is when their about to die is try their best to escape the house, I’m not kidding, even indoor cats. I know someone who had this happen, they never found the body. They just leave so you aren’t sad they died, unlike dogs they stay by your side ‘till their or your last moments.
When I was young, we had a pet cat. He was an outdoor cat, almost certainly fathered some of the neighborhood strays. However, we wouldn't let him out of the house after he taught our dog how to leap into the air and decimate multiple crows at once. He usually slept under my bed, to then wake me up in the morning. Well, one day he hadn't eaten breakfast or woken me up and we couldn't find him in his usual daytime resting spots... So, as one of the few times my preteen self had a good idea, I looked under my bed. Let's just say if the cat's idea was to not make me sad, he completely failed.
@@onijester56 If it makes you feel better, I think that they probably want to find a nice and peaceful place. And I feel that it's sweet your cat was most at peace when he was near you.
Cats also will look for a place to die; my old cat was hiding under the sink or the bathtub and wouldn't let me pick her up. Indoor cat, so she didn't get outside, the vet helped her pass peacefully. Pets are lovely little family members.
Oh man the people losing their pets one really gets me so mad I also cant stand it. I have two cats and they mean so much to me. I grew up with them, loved them, took care of them, and they provided me with emotional support, fun, and overall snuggle buddies, I've had them since they were kittens (over 8 years) and if they went missing I'd be worried and sad, if someone pulled this on me I would add some emotions to the list: furious. I wanna find out how scammers work so I can track down those types of scanners via hacking, steal something they care about and ransom it to see how they feel
Honestly the guy at 10:07 reminds me of the time I was ordering a pc from a second-hand website and the seller called me to confirm it wasn't a scam, even going so far as to ask for half the cash out front to make sure I wasn't gonna just order the PC and leave it at the post office because I apparently seemed eager when we spoke over the phone the first time. And the fact my voice was a bit high-pitched for a then-22yo didn't help
Seeing these actually makes me scared and sad. I personally know when its a scammer but i always think about my family who are on social media aswell. I always tell them about such scams and how it works but people always get new ideas. Wish someday we could handle such situations easier and faster.
We need to bring back burning at the stake specifically for people who try to scam others over their lost pets. I'm serious, people who try to scam others over their lost pets deserve the death penalty. That is about as low as you can get as a human.

Vancouver proper is often referred to as “downtown” because the Metro Vancouver area covers a large number of smaller districts like Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, Surrey, West Vancouver, etc. There are two Ikeas in the Metro Vancouver area, none of them in Vancouver proper, North Vancouver, west Vancouver, or Burnaby.

14:11 you can already tell this is a scam because it doesn't matter if the driver blames the drugs on you, because the driver will always be responsible.
This pains me, I remember getting a call from a scammer pretending to be a car dealership, I said the usual " hello?" and he started going on about "bought a car and didn't pay full up fronto ", sadistic nature kicks in and my response to that 10 minute talk he had "joke, buddy, I know you are mad I rejected your feelings after you completed my assassination request, but I don't swing that way and I said after my brother is dead we don't know each other, please jake, understand, I'm straight, plus no way I'm gonna go out with someone I hired to end my bro, sorry, hope this is the last time you call", they hung up and never got another scam call, only sms now
Scammer:I sent you money Me: ok Scammer it's opposite day! Me: then ok doesn't mean no, what wasn't my first reply? Scammer:😠😡🤬 Me:I see you're having a nice day
If you think any of these were bad/weird police in a small town in northern England had seen crime rates go up significantly . To combat the problem they sent every criminal in their database , over drinking age , a letter informing them of a free beer testing at a pub just outside town all they had to do was bring the letter and enclosed coupon to said pub to receive the beer . 30 thirsty offenders showed up and were swiftly arrested .
Okay so I’ve never been scammed like this and I’d like to know before it comes up in my life, what makes 9:39 a scam? Why is someone other then the buyer picking up the order a scam if they’ve already sent you the money? Why is that something that should set off a red flag? Genuinely curious because I haven’t experienced it and am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
Sometimes scammers will say that they will buy something but they need to send somebody else to pick it up. They say they will wire you the money, because they aren't going to be there to pay cash. Then what they do is send you a request for money, hoping that you will only pay attention to the dollar amount and not realize that you are accepting a request rather than a payment.
I've reported so many scam copy accounts on facebook and was told the same thing. HOWEVER... when I shared a pic of their message to the real version of the account and said maybe THEY have to report them it was ME that got flagged for spam.
I gave up reporting them on Facebook. So many times Facebook would say ‘we see no wrong doing’ or whatever. Also because the scammers all work in a big call center or something, they can actually get your account banned if they mass report you. Facebook doesn’t bother stopping them.
1 time they almost did get me. I got a text and they pretended to be the government and said I owed €15,88 in taxes and came with a link to just deposit it. Lucky for me the website was poorly designed and required more numbers from a card than my card actually has. I then checked the link on pc and it said that the website was unsafe and wouldn't open it. And that's when I noticed that the "government" texted me from a personal phone number, not an official 4 digit number.
I have a plan for a scammer. If I get a phone call from a human scam call, I will try and get them to turn their volume up and maybe put on a pair of headphones. Then blast an airhorn into the phone. It is on my bucket list.
Sure … if your definition of “downtown Vancouver” stretches to include Richmond and Coquitlam. I generally wouldn’t consider something 20km away in a different city to be in the same location, but you do you.
We get scam calls multiple times a day , it's always the same guy with an Indian accent , always gives a different name. Most of the time he claims to be with senior Medicare services. Dad has begun answering the phone with a British accent that slowly switches to an Indian accent. "Oh , no I'm sorry , he moved to Scotland, aye he's off wandering the highlands right now ..." It's hilarious and they always hang up on him.
@@shyguy85 don't say that about Lexi in the comments. Or do, if you like baiting people. Someone's Preferred Gender™ isn't something you can pick out of thin air just from the sound of one's voice. This whole multiple gender thing isn't really for me, but I'll still respect people's choice to live their life how they want. However if your gender can't immediately be ascertained from context clues, don't blame other people for not knowing and especially for not changing their whole way of speaking just for you. I'll respect your existence and not ask you to change only if you'll do the same for me. Everyone who refuses to use your pronouns aren't phobic, some are just not willing to learn a whole new way of speaking about someone because of their preferences. If you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community and make a huge deal that everyone use your preferences, you're denying other people's preferences just as much as others do to you. Let's just work on being less shit of a human being and enjoy life individually and only concern ourselves with those closest to us. It doesn't matter what someone who you wouldn't give a shit about otherwise refers to you as. If you suddenly give a shit when they call you the wrong thing then you just enjoy correcting people and ensuring everyone knows you're special. Don't be a twat.

5:36 My mom just told me about something like this that happened to her, one of her coworkers sent her an email that she had setup a new bank account and to get her paycheck sent to that one, my mom does it and then later that coworker asked why they haven’t gotten their paycheck
8:14 this has actually happened to me, some guy, short, black, wearing a neon coat knocked on my door with his phone out saying he had to come inside to fix something/find something, although I never scheduled a person to come to my house
One of the biggest red flags for a scam that I've seen is if the message says what they're offering is legitimate. No truly legitimate offer would go out of their way to say that.
I've had scammers call once offering "free online education" and the man talking to me said his name was Jason Buchanan....he had the thickest Indian accent I've personally ever heard. I was like, ok, maybe he was adopted. The he said he'd transfer me to someone and didn't even bother muting me so I couldn't clearly here his office chair roll back and someone else sit down. Then this new guy gave me the SAME. NAME. Jason Buchanan. Like, dude....with all due respect, I could've believed Jason. But...Buchanan?? It still has me laughing.
2:14 Sadly, the person who posted that probably got their account taken down for writing keywords that trigger watsapp. Happened to my mom and she had to get a new account because they didn’t respond for half a year when she tried to get them to tell her why they took it down.
16:32 Ah I was messaged this one before but with the Mars brand instead! I joked about it in a discord group im in and everyone just started spamming "MARS CARS!" in the chat and now I wish I could message that scammer back thanking them for making my day.

(This didn't happen to me but I have a co-worker whose friend does the scam for a living lol)
Also who would ever want 250 cupcakes 💀
@@tylern6420 I don't know My school tried to get my mom to bake 300 cupcakes for a bake sale and she laughed at them lol. But they don't just do it with food, I've had people try to do the scam on me when I was selling baby clothes and a microwave. They will do anything to get your bank account#

I want to live in Ikea!

14:11 you can already tell this is a scam because it doesn't matter if the driver blames the drugs on you, because the driver will always be responsible.
This pains me, I remember getting a call from a scammer pretending to be a car dealership, I said the usual " hello?" and he started going on about "bought a car and didn't pay full up fronto ", sadistic nature kicks in and my response to that 10 minute talk he had "joke, buddy, I know you are mad I rejected your feelings after you completed my assassination request, but I don't swing that way and I said after my brother is dead we don't know each other, please jake, understand, I'm straight, plus no way I'm gonna go out with someone I hired to end my bro, sorry, hope this is the last time you call", they hung up and never got another scam call, only sms now
Ok I honestly cannot understand a word you're saying.

As a Vancouverian, I can confirm there is probably an Ikea downtown.

If you think any of these were bad/weird police in a small town in northern England had seen crime rates go up significantly . To combat the problem they sent every criminal in their database , over drinking age , a letter informing them of a free beer testing at a pub just outside town all they had to do was bring the letter and enclosed coupon to said pub to receive the beer . 30 thirsty offenders showed up and were swiftly arrested .

Okay so I’ve never been scammed like this and I’d like to know before it comes up in my life, what makes 9:39 a scam? Why is someone other then the buyer picking up the order a scam if they’ve already sent you the money? Why is that something that should set off a red flag? Genuinely curious because I haven’t experienced it and am having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
Sometimes scammers will say that they will buy something but they need to send somebody else to pick it up. They say they will wire you the money, because they aren't going to be there to pay cash. Then what they do is send you a request for money, hoping that you will only pay attention to the dollar amount and not realize that you are accepting a request rather than a payment.
@@valerierodger7700 Thank you! That’s very helpful. Makes total sense. Will be keeping that in mind in the future
If you're ever doing a transaction for a private sell do it in person and with cash. That's the most secure way to do it.
I, a man who was born and raised in Vancouver, can confirm that there is no ikea and never has been one in downtown Vancouver

@@north6927 but I still have to see my gyno because I don’t want to have massive surgeries to remove my bits (she also prescribed my hormones).

I've reported so many scam copy accounts on facebook and was told the same thing. HOWEVER... when I shared a pic of their message to the real version of the account and said maybe THEY have to report them it was ME that got flagged for spam.
I gave up reporting them on Facebook. So many times Facebook would say ‘we see no wrong doing’ or whatever.
Also because the scammers all work in a big call center or something, they can actually get your account banned if they mass report you.
Facebook doesn’t bother stopping them.

1 time they almost did get me. I got a text and they pretended to be the government and said I owed €15,88 in taxes and came with a link to just deposit it. Lucky for me the website was poorly designed and required more numbers from a card than my card actually has. I then checked the link on pc and it said that the website was unsafe and wouldn't open it. And that's when I noticed that the "government" texted me from a personal phone number, not an official 4 digit number.
1:29 when you fall down the stairs and you try to say something but you speak like

Yup. A scammer sent me a text and said my credit card was charged or some shit. I don't have a credit card....so I just went "send the scam" they did.

The Ellen scam reporting thing happened to me. Only I got a 24hr ban for telling the scam account off.

Yes, there is in fact an IKEA in downtown Vancouver.
What’s Vancouver like?
Isn't it in Richmond?
Pretty sure it's in Richmond, which is kinda downtown adjacent but not downtown.
Sure … if your definition of “downtown Vancouver” stretches to include Richmond and Coquitlam. I generally wouldn’t consider something 20km away in a different city to be in the same location, but you do you.

We get scam calls multiple times a day , it's always the same guy with an Indian accent , always gives a different name. Most of the time he claims to be with senior Medicare services. Dad has begun answering the phone with a British accent that slowly switches to an Indian accent. "Oh , no I'm sorry , he moved to Scotland, aye he's off wandering the highlands right now ..."
It's hilarious and they always hang up on him.
Robin should apply himself or herself and be a nurse instead of reading memes. His/her initials is R.N.
clearly a dude
@@shyguy85 don't say that about Lexi in the comments. Or do, if you like baiting people.
Someone's Preferred Gender™ isn't something you can pick out of thin air just from the sound of one's voice.
This whole multiple gender thing isn't really for me, but I'll still respect people's choice to live their life how they want. However if your gender can't immediately be ascertained from context clues, don't blame other people for not knowing and especially for not changing their whole way of speaking just for you.
I'll respect your existence and not ask you to change only if you'll do the same for me. Everyone who refuses to use your pronouns aren't phobic, some are just not willing to learn a whole new way of speaking about someone because of their preferences.
If you're a part of the LGBTQ+ community and make a huge deal that everyone use your preferences, you're denying other people's preferences just as much as others do to you. Let's just work on being less shit of a human being and enjoy life individually and only concern ourselves with those closest to us. It doesn't matter what someone who you wouldn't give a shit about otherwise refers to you as. If you suddenly give a shit when they call you the wrong thing then you just enjoy correcting people and ensuring everyone knows you're special.
Don't be a twat.

I never thought I would be able to get a bad reception phone call IN TEXT FORM
One of the biggest red flags for a scam that I've seen is if the message says what they're offering is legitimate. No truly legitimate offer would go out of their way to say that.

I've had scammers call once offering "free online education" and the man talking to me said his name was Jason Buchanan....he had the thickest Indian accent I've personally ever heard. I was like, ok, maybe he was adopted. The he said he'd transfer me to someone and didn't even bother muting me so I couldn't clearly here his office chair roll back and someone else sit down. Then this new guy gave me the SAME. NAME. Jason Buchanan. Like, dude....with all due respect, I could've believed Jason. But...Buchanan?? It still has me laughing.
