"Journalist" doesn't have the same status it used to. Maybe we can use the term used for hackers. PG would be a "White Hat Journalist". Most of the 'MSM' are black hat gerbilists.
HEY you didn't tell me Tina would also be joining the lunch!!! 😜 Thanks for having me on - keep fighting the good fight and keep people safe from scammers!
@@PleasantGreen Am a Nigerian, BEC scam is the most devastating scam, only big time scammers can pull it off.... Most small time scammers don't do BEC
Thank you, LironSegev, for the great advice. "It's not if, but when." We all need to be alert about scammers and new scams. Thanks, Pleasent Green, for all you do.
Yeah, scammers come up with new techniques all the time. Even someone you're dating can be a "scammer" just from taking advantage of you. So, just stay diligent.
WOW. I am very surprised at how much work these scammers put into their schemes! I’m curious why they can’t find work doing some reputable IT jobs. This guy really did his research. Thank you, Ben !!
I don't own a business but there is one thing you taught me awhile ago and that was to look carefully at the email address. And I have gotten emails that look legit but then I carefully look at the email address and a couple of times they were very suspicious. So, I immediately marked them as spam and never received another email from them. I am always on the lookout for this type of crap!! Thanks for the vids and for helping us!!
Thank you for your service to humanity... I have three young adult kids who I've turned on to your channel - they have learned a TON and won't be victims. I do appreciate all you do - please keep them scammers buzy and not scamming others !
I'm so glad I took that cyber security class in high school. It helps me understand the terms like social engineering and phishing which really helps to be more invested in these videos.
Great job, Ben. I loved the "Best Western" bank. I'm assuming, like the hotel, it is a no-frills bank. Looking forward to doing another project with you, my friend. Thank you for all your hard work educating the masses.
They almost got me. Very clever. It made it thru our accounting dept and everything. They sent me a link that looked just like an outlook link to reset my password and I fell for it. Only reason I noticed is they were sending emails back and forth and had the emails going to my archive folder. I just happened to look in folder and caught them before it was too late.
@@nr289EFCC isn’t doing jack they’re alleged frauds as well 😂. Nigeria is way too dysfunctional & corrupt to an extent that it’s beyond your imagination.
Heyy I'm from Nigeria and I love watching your videos! I'm sure lots of other Nigerians have already said this but sorry about the guys making the rest of us look bad :/
Fairly common scam. This happens a lot in the lending industry, where mortgage lending companies email accounts get compromised. The scammers watch closely real estate transactions then jump in right at the moment where wire transfers are happening for down payments and boom they send fake wire details to the buyer. The entire downpayment can be stolen pretty easily in this manner.
Pleasant Green should talk about Spear Phishing and Whaling next. It's such a bold and desperate move because they can't get anyone to click on links in their regular Phishing emails they send a company that they go all Captain Phillips, "Look at me. I'm the CEO now." Of course, it raises the biggest, red flag and the whole company knows about it once it happens.
Im currently investigating scams because if these channels such as pleasant greens I even showed my nanna on how scams work I’m currently looking into a cyber security school because if this keep it up 👍
You are southern. I want a little troll about good southern food. They pretend to know the area, they have to pretend to know the food. I love that turtle lobster gopher ratatouille that Popeyes makes 😂
I love all of your videos, Ben. I signed up to Incogni with your link as you deserve a little something back (and I deserve for my data to be treated seriously!). Keep up the good fight.
No TH-cam. I don't think Face the Lag tablets for jet lag is going to help stop scammers....wrong place there...but another great video. This sort of thing is an eye opener and quite scary.
A ver similar incident happened at my job. Our Bookkeepers email was hacked and the scammers weee trying to get us to send funds to a bank in Nigeria. My email was also looped in and they tried to get me as well. Thankful for bank account managers who are on the lookout!
bro this is funny i just got hacked 2 days ago at night, i suddenly got logged out of yt and stuff, so i checked my gmail and i saw that he had compromised my epic games account by putting it in spam so i dont get notifications and he logged me out of my session, i just went to recover the account and if they dont give it back with my gmails, i will send screenshots of id/bank transfers that i did to buy virtual items
Thanks to you I used what you posted to stop a scammer from scamming my good friend who tried to pull a Vtuber Avatar scam . Just say I step in and just say he didn't like what I did just say I act as his dad xD
Thank you for all the work that you do, i always share your videos to my family and friends, especially my grandparents. You've helped us avoid countless scams. Keep doing what you're cause helping millions of us stay safe.
Now I'm imagiging them targeting a training company, having no idea what that even means, messaging us and then getting some fake money or asked to finally pay off their due invoices.
I worked for a Fortune 200 company, and we talked about things like this a lot. We would get social engineering hackers trying to get any information they could from individual employees. Eventually, the company (after I left) was hacked by Russian hackers, who demanded ransom, word is, the company paid it, and they still wouldn't release the files. In the end, I understand it cost tens of millions of dollars to rebuild the programs and systems that were hijacked.
Pleasant has become a full on journalist. Victim interviews, expert testimony, public service announcements. I love it

The best chairs that money can buy. 😉
Probably Tina's persona is the best improvement to the channel in 2024!
i sense some Scammer Payback influence, i love Tina!
There is no more easy money. Scammers are evolving. Good work
Did you hear that quality VO work from Ben? He's evolving just as the scammers are!!
LMAO, the self conversation was spot on, you're definitely a pro!
we need more of Tina NOW!!!!

That's why they think they work, because they are called jobs..... The thing is they aren't reputable

When Tina asked to come to lunch, I about died laughing!
I love to listen to your videos like a podcast. Tina sounds really cute too, can't wait to see her!
OH MY GOD YES NEW PLEASANT GREEN VIDEO IM SO HAPPY
Ben’s hungry. He just wants to have lunch. FEED BEN!
Great job, Ben. I loved the "Best Western" bank. I'm assuming, like the hotel, it is a no-frills bank. Looking forward to doing another project with you, my friend. Thank you for all your hard work educating the masses.
Wow. This is good to know. Jacob missed a fun lunch with you, Ben and Tina 😄😄😄
I loved when you make up a name and the scammer agrees with you like the dope that he/she is!😅😅😅😅
Why do scammers have so much confidence? 😂😂😂
Omg I’m dying! 😂 You doing a woman’s voice was hilarious!

yup they make an inbox rule to immediately move everything to deleted items and mark them as read so you don't see them, happens ALL THE TIME.
Scammers are getting "smarter," aren't they? But if we are smarter, then they'll never win.
Too late as people are dumber these days. Lol
That pretty clever for playing two different voices and made the scammer a little nervous. Ha love it 😂😂🤣🤣😜😜
I just love watching your channel when you screw with these people.
Liron is the rockstar of fraud …
Nicely done with the change in voice Tina!! LOL
Hahaha 😂lmao. Thank you 👍. Awesome video 🎉
I managed to get some info and locations on some scammers thanks to you I’ve been watching you for 2 years
😂😂😂 No lunch? Great job 👏
Always love your content. Thank you for exposing theses scammers.

Or even in Katsina, Nigeria, where there are many lactozora plantations.
I heard that funny song he plays after I read this comment
That's actually so wild! Thanks ben for bringing this to everyone's attention!
Thanks again for all you do team👍
I hope you get a chance to post more often one day. You’re great!
Aww Jacob missed out on a super cool lunch break😂
