- There's a lot of romance scammers out there but the absolute WORST ones resort to sextortion techniques. They'll get you to send them pictures and then blackmail you with them. In this video I try to teach them a lesson.

Golden rule is never send money to someone you've never met.
Always insist on chat via webcam.
Best yet go to a bar and find a girl like why pay for sex when u can get it for free !
@@Grumpy_Englishman I see you believe relationships are a form of prostitution..... I think you some issues
@@michaeldunham3385 He's advocating something other than prostitution. It's you some issues.
@@michaeldunham3385 where do I talk about a relationship go to bar find a woman one night stand both go your separate ways, you're the one talking about relationships here.
@@fluxington thanks
Love how scammers forget English grammar when they get caught 😂
Of course cause they’re following a script.
Their English sucks before they're caught.
U noe da wae
No they're Nigerians. They're speaking pidgin English
they don't have English grammar. First clue. hang up on Ghandi.
LOL. Not too long ago the same thing happened to me. A scammer also threatened to send pictures on social media and to friends and family. So all I did was tell the to go ahead. I told them that there are people who don't like me, and it won't bother me if one or two are added to that list, plus people might mock me for while, but as it is a common thing these days, they will get over it in a few months or so. Then I reported them, blocked them and guess what, nothing ever came from it. I know all the tricks scammers have. From their ways, to their speach and even certain words they use. They are not as clever as they think they used to be.
same, but i told them they should send it so world can see my anaconda
*Johnson spy* , I really admire how you stay focused and always remember there are victims, real people, losing their money and even killing themselves because they are ashamed at falling for these scams. God bless you and keep you,Damn it feels good when you expose these guys, for some reason, other TH-camrs are nervous to do so. You're the king!
It's the old 'don't pay until you see the goods' lesson, if they ask for payment before you even meet then you know there's something not right, it's common sense.
People are desperate and dumb.
@@helios8369 they sure are and the scammers know this, unfortunately.
@@TheGreg6466 not to mention the odds that someone is going to report the scam is next to zero. "Hi police I got scammed trying to get a prostitute can you look into this?"
@@tysshed5807 yeah i didn't think of that, it's perfect for the scammer when the victim is embarrassed and doesn't want to report it, thanks
Or maybe stop being desperate and inept and try to have a normal human relationship instead of simping for bitmaps, I bet that's an option too, and it doesn't require any pre-payments to random nigerians XD
Poured my heart out to a woman online. She was such a good listener! Then she asked if I could get her some Apple gift cards.
You should have sent her pictures of different varieties of apples.
But how was her grammar bruh? 🙄🙄
Why would they do it for free?
@@channelthree9424 That's something my friend would suggest, you have the same type of humor. love it. lol.
Don't feel too bad. I recently went through the same thing. We were planning on meeting up and then she started talking about bringing music gift cards to the hang out. Also had some weird story about being a model traveling through California. You can usually spot them pretty quickly. Don't ever send pics or personal info or money to someone you've just met online. Best way to stay safe.
Wow. I'm pretty shocked by the lengths this scammers go. As a Nigerian, I know that if Mr. G gets caught by fellow scammers, he'll be killed. Please tell him to stay safe.
Really? That’s crazy.
My Nigerian friend seen this with me and almost threw hands at my screen hahaha
Yeah they will travel to Canada to kill him. Sure.........
He is definitely loosing his life and probably a loved one when they watch this video I'm sure of that Nigerian cultist are deadly and have no human sympathy
@@victorazubuike49 kamaru usman is the leader of the nigerian scam squad
I will always admire Chris Farley for doing that skit. That guy was AWESOME!
That little song that he plays whenever he mentions Nigeria gets me every time haha!
It's the Nigerian national anthem.
I do a little shimmy 🕺
@@mathewmclean9128 don't be a racist. That isn't the national anthem
That Austin Powers moment was perfectly placed loool
Huh? Your high
Yeah baby, yeah!
Liked the Napoleon Dynamite scene with Kip, too. It always get serious online.
Now I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was intentionally placed at that precise moment. 🙄🤦🏻♂️😐
these romance scammers are the worst. i almost fell for one
I love how I watch this guy for my entire lunch break because I love just being like SCAMMERS GET SCAMMED
I actually fell for the sextortion scam. It was hilarious when she said she was going to get the photo's I sent her published in my local paper, and send them to my family as well if I didn't pay her.
I replied: "That's GREAT, I am an aspiring porn star seeking exposure, how soon will they be published?"
i fell for one of these, i should have done the same
i didn't pay, just blocked and reported and also told my followers to do the same
They tried that with me and tried to blackmail me saying all that nonsense and all that garbage I totally go ahead and do it I've already posted all that stuff online they're never going to do it did he say they're going to do it do nothing but children just kids in over their heads because they're eventually they're going to come across somebody that's not playing the fucking game and that's actually going to find them and hurt them and that's horrible these kids have no idea what they're doing they don't know the reality of the world and some of the people that are in it
@@altaica3522 same
Man, to anyone reading this who may have also fallen into this trap and is concerned - I can tell you right now that a newspaper isn't going to publish those photos. Trust. That's how you can tell these guys are full of it.
This is a great response, I bet it ruined their day 😅
Lol, can you imagine a local newspaper agreeing to publish nudes from some random guy from Nigeria?
How clueless are these scammers? 😂
I love seeing you waste a scammer's time, it's gold
I've been doing it on craigslist by telling them call,can't wait to see you,special deal if you get here soon!!
I can't imagine how hard it would be to decide to take a re-coveryagent role of an scammed persons. The history needs to be remembered though and the help that was born through such pain and suffering. Mad respect to these *brian hacks online* that take on these role to help traumatized victims all over the world.
Words alone are not enough to describe how happy I am towards the great job and how you completely got me free from sextortion, you accomplished for me and my family love you dude, keep up the great contacts and thanks *brian hacks online* for helping those who have been victim.
Pleasant Green: I fully appreciate you doing these kind of YT videos; not necessarily for me, but for the gullible and computer challenged. Thank you.
This guy is funny & I really enjoy watching him get under scammers skin
You should watch scammer payback and kitboga
they do longer form content actually conversing with the scammers
@@gidd I'll check it out
Yeaaa babyy!!
@@JasonBeeneistheLordGod yea man it's worth checking them out
@@gidd ok, thanks.
Cia gotta recruit this guy and give him an ever better Token logger
They have already tried 🤣
this guy can probably take on the whole cia
and the ccp
and north korea
Bruh I think he’s really from CIA but he’s not exposing it for security purposes hehe 😉 Just my two cents.
I found this channel during the 1st lockdown and I love it. Now I'm back watching the videos for a second time
the 1st lockdown was in the 14th century which youtube didn't exist then
Just want to say…
I love the music you add to your videos. Great job, seriously - it adds so much.
I really feel bad for anyone desperate enough to send someone money for potential sex, even if it wasn't a scam. 🤷♂️
no shit..
like when i was single before and i was that thirsty, i would just go check out the bars.. there are bars everywhere!!
U tripping probably ain’t no fun to chill with escorts is where it’s at
@@Gotem905 I don't pay for sex my man. I get that shit free.
Right, and it's a really stupid thing to do even if it isn't a scam although I do feel bad for them.
Haha I got tricked into this before. but when they tried to blackmail me little did they know that I'm not shy or insecure about my body so I told them to go ahead and send the pics to everyone they could think of.. they didn't like that and got angry so they switched to trying to make me think it was illegal and they were actually the fbi and were going to arrest me if I didn't pay😂 all they got was more pics.
As I watched this again I realized mine wasn't quite the same. It wasn't ever a pay for sex conversation and they didn't talk with broken English. More just went straight to being NSFW then just tried the shame blackmail thing. They actually spoke so normal I just assumed it was a someone from at least America..
Lmao you're kind of clever
Very good
Ahahaha dude, you are real savage 🤣
Awesome
I guess I was a little embarrassed about getting caught up in something as stupid as that.. This is the only time I've told anyone.. Not even friends.. But now it's online 😂
🤣🤣
Smart Ethics is really the good therapist for this issues we are facing
Thanks for his good brilliant job
Not sure what to admire more, you’re crusade against scammers while simultaneously teaching the world how to not be their victim OR the way you SFW’ed this kind of conversations turning them hilarious af😂
Also read my other comment on the flipside of the humor this guy puts in the topic. Disclaimer: I’m not saying that he’s doing something wrong or should do something different nor am I in any way, shape or form negative or against the content. I enjoy it and laugh as hard as y’all do about the stupid ass scammers he’s taking on and if anything I take my hat (SnapBack tbc) off for what he’s doing. This helps, all around I want to say and I would even go as far as saying this should be in educational programs by default to learn our youngest about and protect them from this.
Just wanted to let the flipside know a bit more in depth, is all. Please don’t @ me hating for hating because I’m really really not. (And yes it’s ridiculous I have to make a disclaimer like this but on this internet I do.)
You got her/him. Sad thing is they just moved on to the next victim.
I've been trying dating apps and it's so unreal how many scammers there are.
There are probably more scammers than real people at this point unfortunately.
Dating apps have all sorts of liars, not just scammers. The tamer liars who aren't looking into stealing money are simply just lying about themselves to get a date. I tell everyone to never use these dating apps, they are dangerous!
Almost every person who asks you to add them on snapchat is a scammer. I mess with them all the time using 2 different snap accounts. Funny how there location is always right near your town and they use GPS spoofing to "prove they are near you" on the map
Not judging, but Dating apps have always seemed like a real bad way to find an actual relationship.
@@TomOostenrijk I do agree, but it's where I met my fiance and we have been happy together for 7 years. Sometimes you get lucky. I just know of specific apps that I use to scambait when bored, funny how the IP always comes back from Nigeria lol
One thing we should keep in mind is this: how often have you received pictures from someone who is the victim of the scam? In other words how often have they followed through on their threat to send revealing photos to “everyone in your contacts“? This ends up being a paper tiger 🐅 (an empty threat). It’s far easier for them to make such a threat - and much more profitable - than it is to follow through on it. There’s no financial incentive for them to punish you by following through, Also, once they have followed through on their extortion scheme, they have then made themselves prime targets for legal action. And they have motivated their victim and their victim’s friends and family to take every legal action against them.
Good point. However it's still possible for those pictures to end up on the internet and most people wouldn't want that. I don't understand sending them to anyone ever but that's different.
Pleasant Green is doing great work, educating people about these scammers.
I just love this guy. He is so humble and always keeping us in the loop.
that SNL skit is one of the best ever! I can't believe Chris AND Patrick are both gone 😥 and one of the judges too I think.
It is so awesome to see Chris Farley still helping others.
The end of the video could be some of the best content I’ve ever seen on any channel!!!! Just kidding! Thanks for the Chris Farley memories and keep up the great work against those scammers
LOLOL. Just had a scammer threatening to tell my boss that I’m a woman married to a woman unless I gave him $300. I retired two years ago and the company I worked for was very liberal. Next?
should have given him the name of a gay bar and said thats where you work
You can dm *rekohack* on instàgràm to help you locate the scammer
@@janejames8443 scammer riding off the back of scammers
🤣😂🤣😂
Did you get fired? Please update lmao
This is exactly what I needed to start my Monday. 😄💜
For me its nice to start the evening
Smart Ethics is too Glaring and the best
Thank you Ben, I ended up getting texts messages though my phone with so scammers and they sent me pictures just like the one you shown us on your TH-cam channel. I don't recognize the number try to block ending up opening the message by accident, I end up blocking the number and this happened who ever the scammer may be sends me a nother text message on a different number and text again started causing at me for blocking there other number. It's scary I knowing how many people are there in the world like this. You are a life saver Ben... Thank you again.
Heh, had someone try to say they had webcam footage of me... Which was funny cause I haven't used a webcam in about 20 years. When they said they were going to send it to my family unless I paid, I said "Sure! go ahead. Mom has been real worried I haven't been social enough." .... Never heard back from them. Mom is still waiting on the footage.
exaggeration? 20 years ago people were trading pics not webcam videos im pretty sure, IDK maybe im thinking about the late 90's not 2001, shit im getting old
I'm recommending*rekohack* on instàgràm he safe me from a scammer that was black mailing me ..
@@gopherhole8341 I had a webcam nearly 20 yrs ago, in high school. Definitely not too off base! Of course I was too scared to ever use it because "internet stranger danger" was so deeply ingrained into me. For the best, honestly!
I died when I found out you sent them a pic of Chris Farley 😂😭😂😭💀💀💀💀
I have had scammers take my photos and use them to steal thousands of dollars from poor unsuspecting men.
It's happened so many times.
It sucks.
Do you know if the photos they use appear in the reverse image search?
The way you tell these stories is so great that i started following you
FBI while watching: "Write this down John!!!"
@@amishparadise1924 Smell like bullshit to me but if this true you're more gullible than these Sextortion victim
I ran afoul of one of those sextortion scammers. They threatened to send incriminating material to my Facebook list. They got very mad at me when I refused to pay and told them to do it. I even started suggesting who would enjoy it most. They eventually just gave up and blocked me.
Great job messing with these a**holes! I'm so sick and tired of stories of people getting taken advantage of! 🤬😡😠
I know the feeling too well but its what I get for being naive and not sure if you heard of the new twists of dating scams such as using sex crimes accusations till the mask falls which always ends up as money fale law firms fake police department calls fake private investigators calls fake angry father calls that whole thing
I love everything you do thank you 🙏.
I know a victim of scam hoping you could hear and share it thru your channel for people awareness.
If CIA doesn't recruit this guy after this video it will be a mistake
(Even the scammer asked if he isn't from CIA or something xd)
He isn't woke enough.
@@M1America lmao
They already tried and they weren't impressed by his detective skills =D

@@petittoto7433 i do know that, this comment is just a joke but iam not saying that he isn't good at solving problems like this
One time I met a girl on tinder who sent nudes and tried to get me to as well but I figured it was fishy so I asked her to send a pic holding a spoon up to her face and she never did it. Definitely one of those scams. I knew what was up and didn't send anything lol
same but with her fingers the number 3
Smart
Same but with shoe on head.
Same but with a claw hammer sticking out of her head.
You haven't someone smart yet.
Thanks. I have had many people from Tumblr try the exact same thing with me. Unfortunately it took me quite a long time to realize how many scammers are operating online. I just realized there is someone else I need to block as well.
I love the consistency of these videos
The boy that killed himself because he thought his life was over and all the others. They could of done so much keep resting ❤
So horrible l. These criminals are murderers of human souls and lives.
People take their lives over these scams, that's so sad :(
I want to rn but I won’t. No matter what
It happened to me too once..but a different way .
I was stupid and send Money ...Went on for almost 7 month .
After that i tried to kill myself .

Man I love this channel, is so entertaining, I just keep smiling by how well these videos are made, the background sounds/songs just matching exactly at the point but most especially,
*the drums when Nigeria is there*
just gets me every time 😂
I almost fell victim to something similar where I went to meet a woman off a "dating app" a few years ago, not far from my home luckily I was on a motorbike because when I sent the text to let her know I was near her house a group of guys got out of a car parked outside the stated address looking around.
Lol but u would of been wrong if you would of shot at them right ? Scamming at its finest they wanna play stupid games be prepared for the outcome not everyone plays like this smh
Scary. Glad you were ok
She still there?
Got the address and her contact info?
Want to go hunting,...for the punks?
After we're done they'll give up her address.

Awesome!! Thank You for your Informative, Educational, and Humorous video! Loved the Austin Powers and Napoleon Dynamite clips, of course! Gosh! I have stopped telling people I don't know very well where I work, and I always follow the rule of never sending anyone a picture that I wouldn't send to my Grandma.

I got one of these on Facebook the other day. I ended up creating a grabify link and got his location and sent it to him. The account was then deactivated 😂
I wonder why they don’t use vpns?
I know someone who thought an online young hot Russian woman was in love with him, despite him being old and quite overweight. The sad part is he kept sending 'her' money, even after repeated warnings that it's a scam. When someone is in love all logic and reason flies out the window.
Dude. Your vids are so freakin entertaining 😂😂😂
You know its going to be a good day when you receive a notification from pleasant green
I love watching your videos. I am a fraud investigator myself, so I really enjoy learning from you. Thank you for the content. I actually just purchased Chikaordery's book and it is an inspiration, thank you for helping her.
Greetings. I am a victim of this. I have seen a video where he says not to just do nothing to not get money back. The bank can actually get back some money if things are still up I reckon. What does the bank need from me in terms of proof it is scam?
It should be told I am suicidal.

I am always impressed how those scammers dont even feel like using a VPN is necessary.
Just subscribed to this guy today but I am enjoying. The story telling is perfect.
Thank you for educating people about these types of SCAMS!! ❤️
TBH this happens a lot over Facebook as well. Random people will add you and try to have a similar conversation and then try to video chat you. I’ve been warned never to video chat with them by friends but I’ve definitely had my fun leading these people on 😂
And they always call you "Dear". It's like... WTF?

I was looking for you. I don't ever go online. I only believe in meeting people in person. I don't ever deal with gift card.
Play the Nigerian song a little longer😬😆
I love your videos they are really educational and filled with great advice 😁
I put your video on my watch later after watching it the first time for reference and share with my friends. Very fascinating. I’m Asian who came to this country 40 years ago and married an African professional. We’re now retired after working this long. He thinks these scams are so gross it didnt matter which country it originates from. But more confounding is why is it that so many Americans I mean those who are native born have the proclivity to be suckered into these scams when it’s clear that they are. Just ask anyone who came into this country from somewhere especially if they are like us who came from third world origins. Ask any immigrant and find out if he/she would subject himself to trust someone on the phone or internet claiming anything that involves money being separated from them. LOL! The whole point of us coming to the US is because we have a pandemic of this type of fraud and corruption where we hailed from in the first place. So we never learned to trust anyone beyond the shadow of doubt ever especially in finance. Trust but verify twice and some first like Reagan said. Raising out two boys who are now in their 30s and are professionals in their own right, we taught them one thing if their lives depended on it. Only trust mom and dad and each other. No one else outside of our family unit deserves trust until its verified as true and factual. They still to this day practice it.
Holy shit dude this just happend to me and I wish I found this earlier. Ya know before my scam. You have given me clarity because I thought for real about suicide. And attempting to kill myself because this was such a scary experience. But I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You’re a freaking hero.
Another great video mate got loads of people watching from the UK learning how not to get scammed and how’s Chikaoderry hope she’s ok
Once, I was online looking for someone to share my life with. Never again. Two ladies at the same time did the very two things that made me decide single life over the internet attempt. One, strung me along occasionally asking for 'help', though she never got any, her long game was she needed "time" but we'd be together.... after years of not giving her money, and not being with her, I blocked that one. All the while the other lady, supposedly from Ghana... asked for money to get her passport, (I never sent it, I suggested she apply for asylum, and then come to my address), she sent a photo... to entice.. and suddenly I realized I had seen her before. HOW? How did I know this picture?? She had sent a photo from a magazine cover I had recently passed in the grocery store... blocked...Online relationships are almost always an attempt at futility. Save your sanity and emotion, and believe you only need you... if that partner comes along, be happy, if not.. oh well I guess.
The scammers who drive some of their victims to commit suicide because of endless extortion should be trialed for murder.
No mercy for those human waste.
Its your fault that everytime i hear the word Nigeria i hear drums ....
so true. if i ever go to Nigeria i fully expect this music to play the second the plane touches down.

I hate and think of scammers in Nigeria
I would not want to go there. Don't give money to anyone you don't know.
@@margaretduszak660 don't be ignorant Nigeria is a nice country with great culture and rich food if you ever visit you would enjoy yourself as long as you stay in the main cities you make it seem like scammers are just roaming the streets freely or something I would have you know that the treatment they get is even worse here if you don't believe you can check online and see that many of them are arrested as soon as evidence is found of their scamming.
I guess I am being too hard on that country . sorry if I didn't know all my facts lol
