$20 says this guy already gave these people some information or money.
I agree.
How are we gonna find out? I want that 20
It blows my mind that people still fall for this in 2022.
I thought the exact same thing, but then this guy right here is the perfect example of why scammers still try it.
The sad thing is that the guy probably got off the phone with Dave and still entertained the idea that "it's worth a shot".
@@dixcn Unfortunately, I think you're right. I didn't hear much confidence that he thought for sure Dave was right. It was more like he was looking for Dave to justify his bad decision.
Of course they do. People are getting stupider, not smarter.
This guy needs to get out from underneath his rock once in a while.
What's sad is the caller keeps trying to justify it throughout the call. He will fall for it regardless of what Ramsey told him.
When he said “oh”…..I CANNOT BREATHE!!!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂 this guy cannot be for real. On no planet, in no universe, in no realm would this be legit.
Who describes a random email as being “approached”?
People that are easily scammed.
He was obviously trying to give it more credibility than it was worth to not have them immediately dismiss it, but they did anyway because obviously
I LOVE these guys HOWLING in laughter. I know they felt like rolling on the floor. The caller sounds deflated.
More people need to accept the fact that-
"If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!"
As a life insurance agent, I can attest that everything Dave said is true. Lawyers do not get part of your life insurance benefit. It all goes directly to your beneficiaries.
Do you also agree with his statement that whole-life policies are a rip off and we should only buy term?
actually, lawyers can get part of a claim if they sue the insurance company for a claim and win.
@@AlexPerazaTV Not in the example presented here, even if it was legitimate. Lawyers do not get compensated with death benefits. If something is amiss with the claim and it's denied or under investigation, that is a different story. For example, if someone dies by suicide within the first two years of the policy being in force, that can be reason for a denial. And, like I said, there are some bad players out there. It takes just a quick Google search. Within my company, I know a story of someone who was going through underwriting, he went out for a hike, got bitten by a snake, and died. His family received the death benefit even though the underwriting process was ongoing. Find a company that values you for more than the potential commission. Just because the premium may be less costly doesn't mean it's better coverage.
@@krogdog They are a rip-off.
It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them, that they have been fooled.
"A scammer with a heart." - Ken Lol
The lawyer gets 50% of the inheritance?
Yikes🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I knew that was bull 💩
before Dave even opened his mouth!
Even if the inheritance were legitimate-
A lawyer charging that much should Never be hired!
Imagine if your parents left you a car in their will but the lawyer said you had to split it with him/her🤣
Haha yes they don’t get part of the inheritance!! Oh my gosh lol
His nervous laugh at 2:35 says he most likely gave in
Sounds like he already did pay.
💯
"There's a sucker born every minute." P.T. Barnum
Or is it second?
He's probably going to learn the hard way what it's like to get scammed.
Next question Dave, what if I already gave them the money?
then you just paid your Stupid tax
As a Canadian I can confirm Dave is right. No insurance policy works like that. Either you're the beneficiary or not.
The fact that he actually was considering it.
But…It’s an absurd amount of money that gets the best of your judgement.
Am I the only one thinking he still was gonna do it?
@@socketyellow3 He didn't sound like he wanted to believe them.
@@charlessnyder9684 I had a co-worker that wouldn’t believe when we told him he got scammed
It was the “hmmm” for me when Dave told him not even Canada 😂 😂
Oh man Dave had me going with that quip 😅
good on the caller for calling in about many people (mostly the old) fall for these scams. Hope more people are aware of it.
Man had his dreams crushed
Would say he already sent money
Hopefully JUST his dreams and not his bank account.
I got the same letter from Canada!!! The same story a law firm said a distant cousin died in car accident with a life insurance policy over 13 million. I threw it in the trash
Dude that could've been real! 🤣
i got the same one too
wouldn't u just be able to call the law firm to confirm (if law firm is even legit)?? 🤔
Mine was only 12.9M, I had cheap arse relatives
I wish they would have asked him if he sent the money already. It sounds like he bought into it already
I was thinking the same thing
I think he did as well. I mean maybe he just really had his hopes up but part of me thinks he gave them money
I agree
@@LaMaiStyle nobody cares what you think
@@nunyabidnes6010 I care
🤦♂️Some People are “Wise” & Some People are 👉 “Other Wise” 🤷♂️😂😂😂
And you wonder "who falls for this stuff?"
“Not even in Canada” Dave why you being so brutal to us? 😂😂😂🇨🇦🇨🇦
I thought I was imagining this call! Poor guy is a scammer's dream. Don't even waste your time reporting it. There are 20 more calls coming.
This is why so many people get scammed . Greed outweighs logic . Not it maybe worth it to turn it over to the authorities . Easy sting operation for the police
Yessss my pastor says its all to do with their greed. 👏
Probably not even all that easy, they are careful and operate from countries that don't enforce the law. Many Indian call scammers have entire businesses that nobody does anything about.
Exactly. They can't actually be that stupid can they?
Even if a person of the same name had a policy, that’s not YOU. Even if true, Taking someone else’s inheritance is theft.
Sounds like he still is thinking about doing it, with the “I’ll be liable to give him half after”remark
To ring up with this question - he shouldn’t be allowed out on his own…😂
I am guessing he didn’t ride a regular school bus.
And wear a helmet
Man. A random email. Thats what always gets me my mom keeps giving her bank account away over the phone and im like MOM WHEN HAS A BANK EVER CALLED YOU. Seriously. They send letters. ALWAYS. I was never called or emailed by a real institution.
Scams always have an element of greed built in.
And by the way that Canadian lawyer is from Nigeria.
Dudes totally going forward with this, oh well.
I have a feeling the caller is gonna move forward with it 😂😂😂
In high school, one of my teachers spent a week teaching us about potential scams. I wonder if they still do that in schools today.
I doubt it. They’re too busy teaching kids CRT and transitioning
Nope
Hey Dave some New York developer called and told me I can have the Brooklyn Bridge for just 10% of 500 million dollars, what do you think I should do
buy stock in the building material of said bridge
I honestly don't know how people this gullible make it through life as far as they do.
dude must really be down on his luck. he need that 13 mil. me too! 😂
I'm not sure that Dave convinced him to be honest.
The fact that someone is dumb enough to believe this is scary... like wow. I am guessing this guy has bought extended car warranty multiple times
He needs his own lawyer on it. Impossible to know what is real.
The FBI won't care. Just ignore them. What is really sad is this guy thought it was legit. Ever think to yourself who falls for this junk? I show you exhibit A and the reason why scammers still try it.
@@somethingfunny6867 do they split it 50/50 and require you to donate 10%?
Agreed. The FBI doesn't do squat about mass shooters, why would they care about a scammer?
People need to call a radio show to understand this 🤦🏻
...then he called to get his job back.
Some people are so naive. This guy actually thought he could get that. lol
Sad thing is the heat broken sound in his voice I can almost say for certain he already sent money to them
Clement's sheepish reaction indicates he's already been had😨
I rarely see a Dave Ramsey question that the call screener could've handled for him.
Lawyer from "Canada" with a Nigerian accent.
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHA
I'm in. Send me the cashiers check and we will go from there. After that, we can take care of the fees.
The Michael Scott of Florida?
In all seriousness I'm glad he called-in and didn't get scammed by these clowns.
100% real but I'll do it for a 40% cut. Must have 5k to get the paperwork started of course 😂
Of course
I always tell scammers, I am sitting in the dark with no money for my next meal. How soon can i get your money?
I can't believe people actually fall for this...omg.
Florida man says - I was approached.....um....no.....spam is not the same as someone approaching you.
If it comes from nothing……then you should expect nothing from it.
I have magic beans to sell this caller. Just need him to send me his social security and bank account information
" If the son of the disposed Nigerian king asks for help, you help"-- or something similar on 'the office' LOL
If it seems too good to be true... it probably is.
I just got a letter today...same scenario. They're going to make it easy for me to get 11.8M USD as the heir to a stranger with the same last name in Canada. This is probably so common the FBI won't be interested.
My mother got a call from Canada saying he was my son and needed her help. She was elderly and almost fell for it.
The guy on the left's facial expression in the beginning 😂
I guess being in Nigeria didn't work so now they try Canada. It is actually pretty smart of them. Canadians are more believed.
Half these calls are from Tampa FL 🤣🤣🤣
“Scammer with a heart”,,,,,,,,that’s good.
RUN don’t walk from this. Now call the authorities and the FBI in your state. GO!
Lol I think I got hit with this same scam recently. I also received a letter from a law firm in Canada also claiming I had a dead relative with the same last name who left behind a $13 million life insurance policy. All it took was a Google search of the “law firm’s” name to see all sorts of stuff reporting it as a scam 😂
Poor guy 🤣 Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to go through life so dumb.
This scammer probably doesn't even live in north America
Scams like this prey on people's greedines..it clouds your judgment...how they work so well for the scammers.
Caller went quite. I hope it wasn’t too late.
Wait, wat "Not even in Canada" lol
I was so sure that Dave was going to drag we Nigerians into this 🤓
Oh my goodness
Oh lord....the Dave Ramsey callers are a special breed.
Correction: AMERICANS are a special breed.
I got a email like that they claimed to be in London and I replied back to the email What a surprise because I'm going to be in London next week give me your office address and we will set an appointment for me to come in and get the check, I never heard from them again, and no I wasn't actually going to London.
Holy cow! How naive can you be!
$13million "insurance policy" that went to NO direct family or friend, so it had to go to some long lost relative in Florida?
yea
I received the exact same letter this week in the mail. It was funny. Scammers committing some kind of fraud. Should be illegal if it isn't already
Not even in Canada 🍁 danggg Dav 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Be NICE to us Canadians 🇨🇦 yo !!!
(We pay more for gas than you do)
I get a good laugh out of emails that claim I have a multimillion dollar chunk coming to me. The word usage and grammar are sometimes clumsy, so you know it’s from some place where English is not their first language. Delete!
Open a bank account and ask them to deposit a small fee in good faith lol
Imma put in my will and 10 million dollars to my son and the other 10 million to my daughter. Then have them search for this money for years lol. Cause I don’t have but 20 thousand.
I got a similar email about a month ago. I just laughed, deleted it and moved on with my life. The fact that this adult needed to call the show about this tells me he is not very intelligent.
Did this guy really call and ask if this is legit 😣
prince of Nigeria has competition
Usually, those e-mails are full of grammatical errors.
Exactly! This is why it’s good to do well in school. You can spot these badly worded emails and chalk them up as scams from overseas.
😂 people are so gullible
That's why it's so easy to make money in America. Makes average people look like geniuses.
Greed causes people to lose their common sense. Greed = Victims (On both ends).
"Yeah? Oh."
Repeat after me to get your inheritance: ‘ I am - sofa king - we - Todd - Ed.
I've gotten dozens of these throughout the years due to my uncommon name. It is BS!
Same thing!
Ditto
Clement is so sad to hear this.
If the FBI has any interest it would be an occupational endeavor for them. Otherwise don't give them a reason to target you. States AG office might be more feasible to catch them.
what an idiotic call lol
I'm willing to bet he already gave them good information 🤦🏽♂️
Dishonest, scared, greedy, or desperate.
Those are the characteristics of a good mark.
The “lawyer” is looking for someone desperate/greedy enough to want/need the money asap, BUT the mark also needs to be scared of losing the money or dishonest enough to take the money despite never knowing this “relative”
As a result, the mark will be in such a rush that they will pay whatever bogus fees the “lawyer” throws at them. Of course the money isnt real, and the “lawyer” is looking to make a couple hundred on the quick through fees.
Is the attorney’s name Lionel Hutz? Saul Goodman perhaps?
A person who is honest, on stable finances (not scared or desperate), and not greedy, takes the time to question the premise as this fellow did.
He should tell them he's homeless and has no money, so can they send him a check to his post office box or something.
Idk Dave look what happened on Mr Deeds
