I worked for GeekSquad for a year in tech support. Many times have old folks called me for help. The only thing i could do is take the scammers off their PC but all that money would be gone. One time a old fellow got hit for 12k and my heart sunk when i had to tell him that all that money was gone with no way to get it back. Fuck all of them scammers.
No offense, but hopefully they didn't take your word for it. We are not responsible for any fraudulent charges. They can't break in to a bank, and steal your money. They can only steal the bank's money. No matter what the circumstances are, if money is fraudulently taken from your account, banks have to immediately return the money to you, and THEN investigate. They can't wait. They can't say you did it. They can't do any of that. They have to give the money back immediately. Now, if you did have a part in it, you of course would be prosecuted. But the burden is on THEM, to pay fraud, not you.
I worked for MS customer service lines a few years ago, had lots of calls of elderly people asking about the Bill Gates lottery, or asking when were we going to release their computer (ransomware). usually when they contacted us it was too late.
@@sungodniku They certainly think that of themselves, that is for sure. 🤩🤩

They tried to get my 73 year-old mom with this type of scam. Luckily, she caught on before it was too late. The youtubers (and there are several of them) that go after these scammers are saints.
I’m not a TH-camr but they tried to scam my Moms office for data and I ended up sending them in a loop and calling them back all day it was so funny 😂😂. It’s actually fun fucking with them
Sad that they don't go after the corpos for exploitation and foreign lobbying to have zero labor laws in India with the same energy.
Only if these corpos paid fair wage, the call center problem wouldn't exist. Rockstar, a multi-billion dollar gaming company pays all it's QA testers in India the "fair market value wage" of 3k USD a year and apparently this is supposed to be "more than the market value". So ofcourse they're gonna pivot to something like joining a scamming call center in order to be able to afford a house in their lifetimes and actually put some food on the table for themselves.
So they scammed tens of thousands of dollars from each and they stained their hands and released cockroaches? How does that have any effect on their scam operation? If you really want to avenge them, shut them down and either steal their money or send them to jail.
effing yikes. totally terrible people that needs prison
I remember running into my Grandma's room diving at her phone because she was half-way done reading her SSN to a scammer. I remember she got a call once too, the scammer claimed to be my brother, had all his information, and was telling my Grandma he (pretending to be my brother) was in a car accident in New Mexico and needed money for medical expenses. It was fortunate I was there to stop all of it, but these scammers are serious pieces of shit. Whenever my Grandma gets a call, she can't tell if it's a scammer or a real call about her doctor appointments or insurance, etc. I hate that these scammer target the elderly. It's good to see that some scammers are getting karma and much love to those who are fighting them.
do insurances and hospitals actually call clients directly in America? Seems like a serious liability
The BS detector is the fist thing to go, so folks don't realize it. They can have all their other faculties, but still see a huge reduction in this skill. My mom is sharp as a tack, and not that old really (still working), but we already are involving me in anything big financial, because she has realized she can't detect BS the way she used to.
just now i got a call from my doc and i thought it was a scammer so i ignored it. its really annoying tbh scammers are idiots.
@@Tijuanabill It's mostly because to detect BS, you have to be aware of what is possible and older people usualy don't know that. Also, you tend to rely on stuff that you've learned and if you were not scammed before, you won't think about it.
@@mrkv4k Actually, no. I'm speaking of a very common medical condition, that has nothing to do with knowledge of technology. This can and WILL happen to us all eventually, no matter how tech savvy we are. This is science, not conjecture.
There’s a special place in hell for someone who would proceed to scam an old lady with cancer
Except they don't go to hell; they get reincarnated.
That's just straight up attempted murder, and should be treated as such
@Okurka. They will reincarnated and will be burdened with carrying on with the suffering never reaching enlightment and breaking the cycle. Unless of curse they seek guidance if given the opportunity.

@@klausdieter8283 wait till you see that irl, traumatizing stuff
One flew into the inner opening of our coffee table right in front of me, it really fucked me up since no one else waa home at the time and I was ready to resort to pest control 😭
Being from Kolkata where these offices are located, I feel ashamed of these people. Me and my friends who worked in the IT sector quite close to these offices had often tipped the authorities about such practices. Like the video said, the police basically knows what's going on. But the Government is inept and refuses to take any action.
The locals here with any sort of internet knowledge also dislike the scammers. Just a bunch of scumbags.
If those call centers are raking in _that_ much money - odds are the officials are being bribed. I doubt officials and cops being bribed is just something that happens here in the U.S. - and my fellow Americans are naive as hell if they think it doesn't happen here. It does. Every day. It's called a "soft money" campaign contribution in most cases.
Don't worry, most people understand that these people don't represent where you live, and are a minority of bad people. Sadly, every country and culture has a few messed up people, but also loads of good people
Scammers are paying the police.
Maybe the govt is like " it's not our country men that got scammed, so there is no incentives for us to take action"
@@irmvai more like there is active monetary incentive for them to look the other way. It happens just the same in America it's just that massive corporations have the facade of legitimacy.

@@blakelegrice8219 I’m not sure what it means but it telling them “mother toad” seems to anger them
People in comments screaming "THAT'S KITBOGA!" when they were talking about Bessie. No, that was an actual scam call made with an elderly person named Bessie, and they saved her from losing money.
And Kitboga's character is Rose.
But Kitboga does show exactly how scammy they are. He does troll them hard, but sometimes his characters are quite sympathetic, and I've never seen it stop one of the scammers. Some of them become even meaner even. Wild.
Kitboga, Jim Browning, ScammingPayback, and Trilogy Media are some of the best scam baiters I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and learn from.

One time I was doing a dungeon with some people (in an MMORPG called Dofus) and something touched my foot, so I looked down and screamed because it was a pretty big scorpion, but I still had to help in the dungeon. I had moved my foot so the scorpion started walking around and I had to stop it before it went where I couldn't find it. I grabbed the nearest item (a plastic fork) and stabbed at it, pinning it to the floor. The fork wasn't IN the scorpion because it wasn't sharp, and the scorpion had a pretty strong back exoskeleton. So now I have 1 hand holding a fork on the ground, and the other hand needs to be finishing the dungeon. If I move the fork, the scorpion will run. So I'm sitting there for 45 minutes playing my game with 1 hand on the table and my other hand down towards the ground. After the dungeon was done, I finnaly.had time to think about how to fix the problem, and somehow I got the scorpion into a ziplock bag, and the next morning I took it into a store where some of the other people in the dungeon worked and showed it to them.
where do u live where scorpions r just running aroung
I had a similar story. It was summer vacation and I was playing Counter-Strike 1.5 wearing only underwear. During a gunfight I felt something was crawling on my foot/calf/leg. I looked down and saw a big German cockroach climbing up my leg. I quickly pat it off and focus back into the intense gunfight. I didn't scream or do any radical reaction. But MY GOD! The incoming ADRENALINE was so REAL. I felt my heart pumping so hard after my brain realized that "hey! a big cockroach just climbed my leg!"
Good thing is that, after this "close encounter incident", I kind of not afraid of cockroach anymore.
Sooo, important question...did you keep it?

There's a dude with a voice changer who keeps these guys talking as long as possible. Sometimes in excess of 10 hours. The rage when they figure that out is hilarious
Yeah that's it. It's hilarious.
His channel is called "scam baiter" and i am pretty sure that bessie mark was talking about is scam baiter i think he was also the one who hacked the cameras for mark because pretty much in all his vids he hacks the cameras of the scammers
His name's Kitboga and he's hilarious! Scambaiter is Perogi, different channel, who hacks into scammers' systems and deletes their files. Also funny to listen to how passed off they get.

when I was in the military, a friend of mine came to work one day telling me about a part-time job he had gotten. This guy didn’t seem like a particular dumb guy, but after asking him some questions it was obvious that he was involved in a check cashing scam. When I told him, he thought I was wrong. I took him to a computer and pulled up a web page that described the scam he was involved with and finally was able to talk some sense into him.
Good for you and your friend. Though, what kind of scam is check cashing one? Check isn't used as much around here to have a scam sadly.
@@TempestaDominus Basically, all check cashing scams work on this principle:
Your bank trusts you (to some extent), so when you come in with a check, they give you the money.
They don't actually know whether the check is good yet. Will any money come? No idea, but they expect it to.
Now, you've cashed your check, you've gotten the money out, and you're now supposed to send some of that money elsewhere.
So maybe they send you a check for 20k, and ask you to take out 15k and send it, you keep 5k as a money handling fee.
You do that, and you think that you now have 5k more than you did when you started and they have moved their money or w/e.
Except those 20k that are in your account from the check? It's fake money. Once they vanish, you find that the only "real" transaction done is the part where you withdrew 15k of your money and sent it.
@@XCC23 ....People actually fall for that? Huh.
@@TempestaDominus it's a legit position I can show you if you want to CHECK it out
@@TempestaDominus yep. Sometimes it's "do this minor task for us, we'll pay you in check, oh no, we put a 0 too much, can you withdraw the amount that's too much and send it back to us?"
They deliberately target credulous old folks or people down on their luck for this, because yeah, 99% of the population does not fall for this
Bruh hearing the victim's voices broke my heart man how can these scammers be so heartless

@@nolp2898 LMFAO!!!!!!
No
Probably a scam even if you do know them
LOL
My grandpa gets these scam calls all the time, but he's smart enough to never fall for them. If anything, when he's bored, he will answer and just mess with them to see how long they will stay on the line. It's usually not long.
Per example: He gets A LOT of Amazon scam calls. While I've ordered things on Amazon for him (send it to his house), he doesn't have an Amazon account so he knows it's an instant scam.
Many times he will say to them "I'm having trouble hearing you as I have 2 hearing aids. Can you speak louder and in English so I can understand you better?" Most times, they hang up right here.
One scam call was somebody trying to sell him Viagra. Yeah, he loved messing with them.
Grandpa: "You want to sell me Viagra? What's that for?" (He knew just wanted them to say it)
Scammer: "Well it's for sex."
Grandpa: "Well, I'm a widower and so I won't need any Viagra, unless you're going to come and give me some sex."
* They hang up *
I think over the years, the spam calls have decreased.
My guess he's annoyed many of them that they removed him from their call list as they know he will never fall for it.
(Edit: Had to fix the line breaks since TH-cam screwed them up and put A LOT of extra lines.)
Lol same here. My grandad is half native American and he trolls scammers by speaking random phrases
Lmao love the viagra
You know, that means that Amazon sold them the shipping data....
@@gabrielclark1425 Source?
@@arshiaaghaei Deductive reasoning.
I live in the Philippines and I used to work for a call center that had an account (department) for different QuickBooks services/products. It is extremely exhausting to fight off these scammers. They often target QuickBooks users with Payroll services and then they call us to gain access. Unfortunately, as long as they have all the basic info and SSN, they can easily obtain and infiltrate your QuickBooks files and such.
Yes, these scammers are from India.
Every person associated with a scam center should have their personal info displayed publicly so people that lost everything to them can make their own justice.

I'm a Westerner who's been living in India for 10 years now. I'm looking at the young people sitting in those offices and got a pretty good idea of what kind of people they are. Relatively recent grads, unmarried, from low repute colleges - the max their parents could afford to send them to. They are educated enough to qualify for a job that requires English, but their schools don't carry the names to enable them for placement in any proper decent paying company. There are plenty of such young people in India and they often end up working as store clerks in malls or even as security guards (my building's security guard has an engineering degree from a small town college). Many families put huge pressure though on their kids to get an 'office job' which is technically seen above sales clerks and security guards. Why do they put that pressure? Because they aim to marry their kids off latest by age 25 and for that your kid - regardless of gender - better be earning and placed in a 'proper job' aka 'office job'. This is how some young people end up in offices like that. What you see here are bottom-of-the-barrel folks that couldn't be placed anywhere else and with their families sitting in their necks about getting a job fast so they can marry.
Doesn't make any of this shit right, of course. These companies need to be brought down. It's a joke the government turns such a blind eye to it. I'm pretty sure I know why too. India tends to have no issues whatsoever with any entity generating cash flow into the country. It's ridiculously easy to transfer money here. But god forbid you want to transfer anything out, even if it's your own money to your own foreign account. It's a huge headache. I guess if they acknowledged the problem, they fear they might actually have to reimburse people abroad. Though I'm really not sure about the legalities concerning the prosecution of international fraud.
But such videos are super important, cause if there's one thing the Indian government fears it's bad international press. They are super self-conscious about their reputation, especially in front of the West. Spread that shit far and wide and tag concerning Indian government officials if possible. They won't lift a finger for justice's sake or for moral reason, but if it's about their image suddenly a lot of things can happen.
About the call centers they couldn't manage to shut down despite informing the authorities... well... you know those call centers already pulled enough money to pay off the right people on a regular basis. Once you figure that, there is no point in contacting that layer or authority. You need to go one step up. But even then it can happen that whoever you contact will just go and attempt to collect 'their share' and if successful act as if nothing happened. So you'll need to continue going steps up until that guy's bribe level is above their pay grade.

"It'd be cool if banks could review large transfers and suspicious financial decisions"
Bro that's just called banking in Canada.... I haven't heard of a single bank that doesn't do that for much smaller amounts. I commissioned art from a guy in Mexico and they froze my account until they figured out what it was for.
A lot of countries have better bank security than the us.
In Germany for example, no legitimate actor will ever talk to you through the phone due to privacy laws, making scam calls incredibly obvious. Most banks offer free chargeback, where the customer is always right. For the chargeback to be reversed, the other party has to file a legal complaint and prove their case as well.
To bad Indian banks probably don't allow charge backs, or this issue could be nonexistent.
Cockroaches aren’t a big deal until those fckers start flying at you lol
It's like God gave them the ability to fly, but didn't give them the knowledge on HOW to fly. Pure chaos incarnate.

It's just so damn disgusting and sad to hear these poor old people be manipulated like that. Don't they stop to think how they would feel if someone did this to their parents or grandparents.. Maybe they think that everyone in the west is living in luxury and has all the money in the world so it doesn't matter or something. I'm just trying to understand how they can do this and sleep at night.

"I think I just had a $20B idea, guys!" You going to open your own scam call center? Sounds like a moneymaker to me.
the reason why the indian government isnt cracking down on this even if they could is simply because this is actually developing the country you take foreign money and convert it into indian money so it is a benefit as a while
21:32 "theyre farming old people" fucking killed me
27:45 banks actually have that; there've been some cases when the tellers actually try to stop the transaction and explain the person that this amount of money is suspicious, or ask them what is this for to try and assist them, but if you as the owner of your account insist to withdraw that money they can't do anything else more than give you advise.
Or hear me out we use technology to help them.
Example you do 100% of your shopping in the USA you have never shopped outside of the USA or even your state in the last 7 years. Then all of a sudden you're trying to donate $2,000 to some company over in India?? get real.
I must applaud this guy. His antics will clearly give a loud warning call to all the people who decided to call me and beg me to send them money pretending to be my energy company or Amazon Prime because I am almost 50 years old so they think they can get me.

Scamers pretended to be my older friends mobile company, told him he had to pay $90 a month for this mobile account or they would fine him, they almost got him to he was so stressed they would take the money out of his bank account but like its a prepaid sim the man pays with cash he never gave them his bank details he never had to. Abvously sus right so I looked into it turned out that his provider doesnt even have a $90 plan.. Guy is close to 90yrs old, these older generations are so easyly scammed because people didnt used to be so f king evil its that simple the world is getting more and more cruel and twisted sadly.
It just hit 1 mil likes, I love this connected world we now live in, 29 years ago when these scam centres started you'd NEVER be able to get viral attention on taking one down like this, let alone be able to connect with anyone in the world who could help with such endeavors
I believe Mark Rober said "29 years combined", which would mean sum of the time they are operational now is 29 years... one is 12 years, another 11 if I remember correctly, which leaves third one to 6 years.
mark sends a packet to them. internet: "WAOOWWWW" jim hacks their infrastructure for years and years. internet: "who is jim browning?"
I like that those dudes were ready to eat bullets so they could plant stink bombs and roaches xD
The evolution of all this is just incredible. The guy was just tired of people stealing his Amazon packages so he made a glitter bomb with a camera. Few years later and he's pranking an international crime ring.
Funny, just yesterday my mother was called by one of them. As she was willing to go through with the call, I overheard what was going on. I was tempted to grab the phone out of her hand shout some insults and hang off, but instead i just made her hang up. But it didn't end there, they called her like 4 times. She had to block the number, then she got called by a new number, and another new one. She had to block 4 numbers in the end just to end it.
Kinda shows you how fucking desperate they are to get some money out of you
Mark Rober's other giltter bomb videos are a great watch. Also, they may not always do it, but there are banks that do inform older people of scams if they try to withdraw large amounts of money since they are suspicious.
There is actually an easy way to stop this, but the phone companies make to much money allowing it, so it won't happen. Give the option to block calls from incoming calls that the caller-id doesn't match the actual source number. All incoming calls to a company have essentially metadata. This is source information, flags like caller-id block, caller-id etc. This is especially easier now versus 10 or 20 years ago since almost all carrier traffic is SIP based anymore. These companies spoof caller-id often of local known numbers and that is why they get through and blocking numbers doesn't work. Most phone systems actually have options like this built in, they just aren't used. The catch is phone companies turn around and can bill incoming carriers for calls they deliver from their systems. So Verizon is making millions billing the phone company in India that is sending the calls.
So much this. Only let real phones on the phone lines. If Twitter can verify, then so can the phone companies. It should just be that you can't fake your number...it has to be real. It can't be that hard. Also, these people aren't very smart, sometimes it says it me calling me. Surely that can't help their cause.
This is already a thing. My cell does this automatically. It'll show the local number and throw the real number in parentheses and block it.
Scammer Payback is a good guy i frequently watch
As I was watching this video I got a call from scammers pretending they're HMRC (in the UK), and I told them my name is Jim Browning. They hung up.

Simple case of: „if you ever hear an indian accenton the phone, hang up”.
When I was in my first year of highschool after the school day had ended we got on the bus to head home and there was this dude panicking like crazy at the back of the bus turns out he "owed 50,000 to the IRS" which we don't have in NZ it was clearly a scam but the guy had no idea, we convinced him it was a scam but it was too late he had already sent 10,000 to these scammers, guy broke down crying when he found out it was a scam.
As someone who has worked for a bank for a long time, I can tell you that the banks don't want their customers to get scammed either. Unfortunately because of federal regulation they can not withhold money from their clients for any reason. What's really sad about these situations is the phycological warfare going on during these interaction. These people getting scammed are truly convinced this is real, to the point of aggression. Its really cool to see people doing things like this, and Asmond's commentary is legendary!
Banks want to keep your money not have you spend it they want the old people to die so they can kept their money and keep getting interest on it by loaning it out they consider it their money,
Kitboga is awesome at trolling these scammed.
Kitboga trolls them. Jim Browning makes them shit themselves.
All scambaiters working together
At that time Rober's video had 13.6 million views, a million likes and no dislikes, that is fucking amazing. Now it has 52.6 million with over 2 million likes and 20 thousand dislikes because the scammers finally found the video. That is so cool.
Love Mark Rober videos seen almost all of them. YT scammers the one that bothers me most is Logan Paul with his crypto game then he joined partner in crime from Britain KSI got got the majority of the world especially the USA to fork over their cash for a hyped up energy drink in PRIME.
I LOVE playing with these scam callers! I've been yelled at and threatened with jail time. Its hilarious to see how angry they get!
Same. Lol. There is one from Tennessee that tells you that you owe three thousand dollars on a credit card from 2 yrs ago. Scary part is they had all my info. I am on disability for a chronic illness and have no credit card. I told them I knew they were scammers and they had over 500 complaints online and warning people about them. Which was true. The guy freaked out. Threatening to SA me, call me 10 times a day, said I deserved my illness. I told him Thanks I recorded what he said, I didn't. Then he tried to apologize and I hung up and blocked them. Next day new number different person. Just hung up. It's really terrible and I bet older people fell for it and paid the money. They wouldn't even tell you what credit card it was or what the charge was. I don't know how they can live with themselves.
Even a rat wouldn't bug me Hahahaaa!!! Wasps or hornets are a whole different thing though!
These scammers make my life hell as well. I work for the enrollment dept of one of the largest Medicare Advantage companies in the U.S. and so often these ppl think I'm fraud because of these terrible people.
If you or someone you know is in Medicare here's some tips, a. Ask me to prove myself. I will not be offended, in fact I LOVE these people because you are protecting yourself as you should be and not blindly accepting. Things you can ask me are for the Application Tracking Number, also called ATN or Confirmation number. (You will also need to be sure you gather this information from your broker to ensure mine matches yours.) The only people who will have this information are the people handling your application and this number is totally random with multiple possible formats. I can also tell you who your broker was (but will need a moment to pull that up as only paper applications may have the agents name written on it, and even that's not for sure. They ask will have the agents NPN or national producer number though, so I can look this up if you give me a moment.) I know the instinct is to hang up if I can't immediately answer but that just hurts yourself because I'm at the mercy of a database and if they are updating it, it could be slow at that moment.
I CANNOT validate my identity by telling you your date of birth, address, or anything ride about yourself. I can see it sure, but let's say I mis-dialed and called the wrong #, I would then be providing your protected information to a stranger and risking your identity be stolen, which I'm not willing to do. You do have the option of calling in yourself, but then your going to get a general customer service rep who will not be a knowledgeable about your issue as I am, especially if the issue is special enrollment periods or medicaid benefits. Before you fault them, those poor folks have to be helpful on far too many topics, claims, billing, enrollment, benefit coverage, demographic updates, provider listing, and 10,000 more topics. They are jacks of all trades but masters of none, whereas all I do all day every day is call people and resolve enrollment issues so I am a master of my corner of the Medicare universe
Also, be patient and not offended in the occasions we do call on a weekend. Weekends calls do not equal fraud, they equal we are in a busy enrollment period and I'm working EVERY DAY, ALL DAY to ensure you or your loved one has coverage when you need it, and try to get to you in time to submit a correction if needed. Before you tell at me for calling during dinner please understand I'm surviving on junk working hour 15 of my shift today and have 4 months more of the same in front of me. Sorry your dinner is interrupted but I haven't seen my nephews or eaten a proper meal in months, all to help YOU. Same with calling on the weekends. We don't work weekends unless it's a busy enrolment period like AEP, just be glad I'm calling you in time to resolve an issue before AEP ends and you lose your chance to apply for a plan your eligible for. Between October and April, be wary, ask questions, but also please be nice to your enrollment reps, until Medicare changes their system it sucks for all of us.
Maccaulay should really do more youtube. Not that he has to, but it's just fun to see him.
Mesi is an absolute legend risking his wellbeing doing this hat's off to him!
Thank you 💓
It's good to know someone's doing something about this horrible stuff! Thank you for this video!
these people chose to sneak pranks in, if other groups were this passionate about getting at these people we all know much worse could have been snuck in
Asmongold - you do give us something - you make us smile and laugh - keep up your GREAT work
Most banks do have systems in place that will alert both the bank and the account holder when an unusual amount is removed from the account, or if said amount is transferred or withdrawn from unusual locations or sources. The issue there, though, is that a lot of times the account holder has to actually manually activate these systems in their account, which isn’t gonna be done very often by elderly with no knowledge or experience with such technology.
Government let it happen because it's in the bad side of India, You know every country has that one state where crimes are rampant, North east side of India is that place.
Hearing those calls is just breaking my heart...
I bet as soon as they took the “arrest photos” they went right back to the office.
These men are heros with no capes
The way he says "cock-a-roach" and "woaasps" really captivates the viewer.
My grandparents are very tech savvy. At least my grandmother was and my grandfather is in the know. He's like those youtubers that string the scammers along. My grandmother isn't with us anymore, but ironically her mother was very susceptible to these things.
"Every animal preys on the weakest"
Very true. What's also true though is that the prey in question tend to protect their weakest members to the best of their ability even when they are unrelated.
thanks for sharing this with your community, this really needs to get out there everywhere because its really sad to hear about someone you know or family member fall for this sort of stuff.
0:04 and now I can’t eat my lunch😭
Give it to me
Not to make light of the situation but I can't wait to see how my generation will handle scammers when we get old. After years dealing with mmo scammers, pyramid schemes, multi level marketing, nft and crypto pump and dumps I'm hoping we'll at least be harder targets.
This makes me feel like there are good people in this world.
So glad people are watching this video. Everytime I open youtube now I see someone reacting to it

I've delved into anti-scammer shenanigans and I love it intersecting with Mark Rober via his package-theft countering Glitter bomb series.
Already watched Mark's video, so I look forward to Asmon's reactions and commentary. I can tell it'll be good based on the thumbnail reaction to the rats. 🤣
"There's a lot of things you can do about it, but what are you willing to do?"- Dangerous Words.
It's sad that someone like Mark Rober has to take on the duty a corrupt, paid off government couldn't. As long as these dogs make money through this, and the government gets their share, nothing will happen. Props to all of the people who are willing to do what's right, with their own flair.
Love your reaction videos 🤣. You often get me to check others channels out. You got some great commentary always a good laugh. Also your very well spoken, no holding back 😁👍
be careful guys i thought i will never get scammed on the internet, but i almost got scammed by an indian selling a rtx 3090 gpu for 300$ :3 i was so gullible. thinking i had a good deal from a wholesaler. be careful dont let what you love blind you :3
Bro never buy anything online from an Indian, you crazy?
Always stick to reputable sites for PC parts and steer clear from “wholesalers”. I wouldn’t even use eBay at this point for a GPU given how wild the market is due to the demand. Even Amazon gets sketchy at time with it if you don’t pay attention to the seller, if it’s legit, and/or where their store is located.
I’ve known scammers to keep the boxes and even the plastic wrap/sleeve their GPU originally came in with all the little books, twist ties, foam padding, etc. They’ll use it extensively for mining and run it into the ground, clean it, then turn and repackage it online as “bought new, turned out it was the wrong product” type of stuff and sell it to some schmuck for market value.
If the price seems too good to be true, it definitley is.
@@JimC607 i didnt know he was an indian dude, i thought he was someone from my country, using same country code. i knew he was an indian when he told me to send money to a bank located in india
Mark Rober is the man!
We get scammers calling for duct cleaning. I tell them we only harbour geese.
They are punishing Some Ordinary Gamers.
This crew deserve a medal. Real honorable men.
