      They always have some flimsy justification to fool themselves into thinking they aren't being horrible bastards. "The people I'm scamming have too much money anyway, what they would waste will keep me fed for weeks", or "the only people who fall for this are greedy and trying to swindle me. Just imagine if this was a real offer, I would be fleeced!"
      They also often don't have and can't find a real job, doing these scams can actually take a lot of time and work, there aren't all that many people willing to do this crap all day if they have alternatives.
      The worst are the ones who run scam offices, where they actually get a whole bunch of people to work for them trying to rip people off and of course take a good chunk of the profit

    You can actually tell when the scammer is writing personally and when he's copy&pasting stuff.
    Windows Notepad is stupid and will copy line wraps, even if it's an automatic wrap due to limited screen space. If sentences are awkwardly cut (see 1:19), that's why.

      @KHTimeProtecter 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@danielch6662 If your country is small enough that it only has a few banks, then that’s probably why the checks clear so quickly. We have a large number of different banks and credit unions, but LOTS of customers and money coming and going between these institutions. And that’s not taking account of some banks coming from different states with different banking jurisdictions. We also have to keep in mind how much the check actually is, i.e. if the check is $200 then it should clear quickly if there aren’t any problems. A check over $1,000 may take longer (On the rare occasion, I handle checks well into the mid-to-high five digit range, and even six-digit). Because of this, coupled with not-so-fast programs and internet, it takes a while to process and clear the checks.

Also my husband’s grandparents had money taken when they got gas because there was a chip reader.

We've developed a few tricks to help suss out these bastards as they'll try to hide themselves with a VPN, but without even needing to be told by our supervisors, we've gotten to work listing ways they stick out. Usually they want to update the payment method to a different bank account to launder the money. As of today, all payment method changes must have a photo ID submitted. That was music to my ears! We're also mandating claimants refile a new claim every three months so as to throw them off from receiving money from an account that may have passed under the radar.

    Us in the Pressure washing community have a very common scam where they want us to take a cashiers check of like 10k and pay off somebody then take the rest for ourselves. We would love to see you track these people down.

    Thanks for putting this out there, I almost got scammed while trying to sell my fifth wheel trailer.
    I wanted $18000 he sent me a cheque for $24500. I texted why so much. He replied that was to pay the trucker and he is picking up other things on the way back. If I would have followed through I would have been out $18000 for the trailer plus $6500 to the driver. I also got a second one similar but not as much money. I took the cheque to the bank.
    The manager checked it out and it was phoney. In fact she read back the letters at the top left and said their credit union gets about eight of those a week. The police department said just rip it up we can’t help you. Thanks a lot coppers.
    Thanks again Pleasant Green you saved me!
