There's an Alexa scam that could end up costing you way more than an Alexa! So in this video I'm going after the scammers behind it!
For those curious, Bostoy's address in Deleware. It is a Registered Agent who likely knows nothing. They help LLC's register business documents and sometimes receive their mail. They do not deserve to be spammed or harassed.

"She's giving me the silent treatment!" 😂😂😂
She was!!! lol
This was SO fun! Thanks for letting us be a part of the mission
Yes
Ur videos are so good!
Trilogy! Tall are my second favorite channel next to pleasant green! You all are GREAT!!
Nice to see Trilogy Media still baiting the scammers!
So awesome to see you with PG, can't wait to watch your video now!!
Google should be liable for allowing them to advertise. To advertise on Google, there should be a background check to ensure the business is legit.
I was just thinking this.
Nope, that would be unfair for starters.
Easier said than done fam. Google is a multi-billion dollar company and they don't have time to check on every songle Advertisement.
@@aliakar025 they definitely have the time and money😂
@@christinademps374 Bro I think you don't understand that they would have to control 100 millions of ads which would cost them money. And you are right, they have enough money. But why waste it ya know? I don't like Google nor do I like those fake websites and fake scamming ads but we have to look at things from an objective perspective.
"As an IT analyst, I punched this into Google."
Lovely. Love it.
Google helps everyone
nlg ronnie was did nothing lmao
Thanks for the opportunity to expose some of the shadiest scammers, Mr. Ben!
Love ur work!
You’re so good at scambaiting too Garry
@@abdulniceguy5148 Thanks so much!
About 2 weeks after the first time I watched this video & then watched both versions of it on Trilogy’s & Deyo’s pages I went to see the new Spider Man movie & I literally laughed outloud when Toby “Mag-wire” made his debut in the film. I couldn’t contain myself & did a horrible job whispering to my boyfriend referencing these videos.
Such a great job & super informative!! Love seeing you guys collaborating & each taking on a piece that best fits your strengths. Thanks for everything you guys are doing!!
Mr bean
Broke my heart when that victim said "I'm a quadriplegic so I need my voice for things" :(
I’ve fallen down the “let’s scam the scammers!” TH-cam rabbit hole and I’m pretty happy about it. Not only is every channel with this type of content endlessly entertaining, but also super informative and man it’s great to see y’all helping victims or keeping people from becoming victims.
Watch kitboga. Best one.
I like Music is a Rainbow. She scams scammers and is funny.
Scam sandwich is good too. His character that he portrays to catch these scammers is totally awesome
I like how while they were scamming a "old man" they had the time to discuss about Spider Man, professionals have standards man.
lol
It's easy to forget that criminals are people too. They have the same hobbies and interests that we have. It's a little unsettling.
@@Solaceon It's unsettling that criminals have hobbies?
My favorite superhero, "Professionals have standards Man"

Hearing the real voices of victims made my stomach clench up. That really upset me, deeply. You, Deyo and TM and other baiters are doing heroic work. Pple have been known to commit suicide after losing everything to these bastards and they need to be held accountable for ruining lives. 😑
Had the same reaction... And emmediatly made me kind of nervous about my mom, she would be the type that might fall for these things... Its sad how people take advantage of people's vulnerabilities...
you can get it 😎

We genuinely need a video titled "Scambaiters Assemble" where the likes of Pleasant Green, Jim Browning and Atomic Shrimp unite to stop scammers
No Kitboga is like no Iron Man, man! How can the scambaiters assemble without Iron Kitboga!?
@@calcramer Kitboga is like Cap in Endgame and everyone comes around him
@@TyroneBruinsmaFilms I appreciate your considered response and I’ve given it some thought.
Atomic Shrimp is The Winter Soldier. Pleasant Green is Black Widow, obviously, and jim Browning is Captain America.
Kitboga remains Tony Stark AKA Iron Man.
And The Hoax Hotel, it needs more Gretelyn/Brumbulys Murphy-Grumpus

Part of this problem falls on both Amazon AND Google. It's incredibly difficult to find the actual customer service number for Amazon. And when someone Googles for Amazon Customer Service, Google should not be providing scam websites. Anyone that has fallen victim to these scams should file a class action lawsuit against Google. They 100% have control over what results populate.
Google sent me to a scam site when I searched for Spectrum Customer Service. They said I needed to use my credit card and pay a dollar to speak with a technician who could help me. Luckily my husband found our monthly receipt where the real Customer Service number was. I didn't even think it was a scam; I was just too p.o. to pay them a dollar when they already get over $200 from me every month. It wasn't until I talked to a true rep that I was told "We would never ask you for a dollar. I'm old and not tech savvy.
I've had this thought as well, Google especially feels complicit in being so mild about obvious scams that are seo driven to the top of web searches.
Ye.. but the sites pay Google. The scam sites are paying for Google ads.
@@reymarckessaguirre5082 right, and that is A PROBLEM. What's stopping Google from accepting payment for ads for drugs or CSAM sites? The supply of victims lies in the hands of Google. Those phone numbers should never make it to Google results, MUCH LESS at the top of the first page.
@@3_up_moon Google ads are still ads! Ffs.
Why don't you or anyone else actually flag/report this with them!?! Thousands/millions adds go through their sites. Its ppl like us help them filtering the bad apples out!
If you're smart enough, you'll rely on friends & family to hp guide you to the right source.
With alexa app, you go to amazon to source it, download it. Even the alexa, alexa echo dot would tell you to go to the app or the amazon site

Of course -_- Scammers are so desperate for money so they LITERALLY have to help you setup a device that is very easy to setup with full instructions from the official company 🤩
Exactly
"She keeps giving me the silent treatment and won't listen; just like my ex-wife, Louise" This line is comedy gold! Pure comedy gold!
😂 spit my coffee all over my room. Now I gotta clean it up
My mom is a bit older and almost got scammed by some scammers impersonating our local power company once, these scammers taking advantage of people is so infuriating
So proud to share your "namesake" way to go Ben Dover!

@@CaitlynDover yes, we are
@@BruhMoment-gm8zc he uses the the alias Benjamin or Ben Dover a lot in these scam stopper type videos. My last name actually being Dover I think it's funny because I've been asked all my life is my dad or brother named Ben Dover. Hope that helps!
I think my mother fell for this a couple years ago. She gets so overwhelmed by technology that she just gave in. I started to tell her it was a scam but didn't have the heart to go into details. Just made sure her computer was secure and let it go.
These scamming aholes need to be reigned in by authority. Glad to see an authority like you (and your friends) taking action.
Keep giving them hell green!
Am I hearing u right? U let your mother be scammed??? That’s aweful
@@roxanne2881 she told me about it after the fact

@@roxanne2881 yea no from the first time reading it it was after it happened and he checked to see if her computer was still secured. So quite the opposite 😂
Nope, authorities can’t save you from anything. It’s called common sense
I loved how "Damon" explained spiderman to his scam victim lol
I love this man and the best part is
he’s such a gentleman! AND love DEYO channel! Refreshing to not have to hear sweat words from scammers! Thank you!
I just love how everyone is banding together to bust these scammers! Going to watch Trilogy Media's now.
Like Mr. Beast and Mark Rober going after package stealing porch pirates. I think Glitterbomb is up to 4.0
l just love how everyone is banding together to bust these scammers! Going to watch Trilogy Media's now.
When Ben says "They're gonna be sorry that they messed with Pleasant Green", you know shit's gonna go down
You are amazing Ben, thank you so much sharing this. We all need to know about these awful scammers. There's so many of them
The faces of scammers shouldn't be blurred. They should be exposed.
Pleasent Green some scammers just invaded my country. South Africa, I wanted to send you their details, they have been annoying a lot of us lately. Mostly forex scammers
Also, tbh shares scammers in the UK and the US. I've been getting calls for years, from people pretending to be from major banks whilst having either some form of English or American accent.
Pleasant green you are killing us making us waiting this long .you know your the best stories teller ever man .
I heartily concur !!
I love how all you awesome people work together! Thank you for doing what you do. Great video!
I love how you cooperate with other content creators to make your story more interesting! Well done 👍
Ty for you work and scam busting. This also works on teens. My niece almost fell for one of these posing as Microsoft. Thank goodness her mom intervened.
When Pleasant Green is chatting with the women, he just sounds like a scammer and says: "I can't talk right now"
glad you are bring these to light, bringing an end to these people and showing them they need to stop
Yo this is the coolest form of informative media, the way you’ve collabed with people around the globe is awesome
What a "tangled web" these scammers weave! We love these collabs & so glad you all are exposing them & educating the public. Thank you to all of you.

This was a really great watch. Really enjoyed it. Great investigative journalism too.
I absolutely love when scambaiters work together, each working to their own strength. These collaborations create some formidable teams.
Hey bro thanks to you I was able to help my friend not get scammed. It was someone trying a claim your prize and cash app scam on him.
For the algo
A rock should know about that one lol, oldest trick in the book.

Man, I love it when there is a crossover event with scambaiters! It really makes for an enjoyable time watching these thieves get exposed. Definitely more power in numbers, and now time to watch Trilogy Media's video on the Alexa scam!
I’m a young in her 50s lady and I love technology! I’d love to learn it but I don’t think I have the brain for it. That’s why since I found your channel I’m hooked! Please continue to help us be alert against these scum bags!
You and the other “scam busters” are amazing and awesome! God bless you all!
Yep, they're AMAZING
Hi Plesant Green, this scam reminds me of the time I was scammed into wearing my brother's soiled underpants. Thanks for helping expose these scams. Take care.
same man i hate when that happens man like
Your videos are very informative and really helpful for making people understand those different scams.
12:15 that is such a badass line omg
Incredible team work on this one! Thanks for ALL you are doing in the fight against scammers!!
Great! You and Deyo are my heroes! Love you both and I am so proud of you all. Trilogy Media was the very first channel I watched and was instantly hooked on scambaiting videos. Since then I have spent hours and many nights and days in live chats and watching all levels of scambaiters. From very small sub channels to Jim Browning. Going to go watch TM right now! I've been waiting for this since they first announced their plans for this multi-city trip. So glad everyone got back safely from this trip.
Amazing work sir! Love your videos. This needs to be shared
Its pretty cool how you have this insider power to get info that really scares them. Glad you use it for good.
Being an Indian I can agree with this as there are lot of people around looking for easy money by scamming. I feel sad for the people who get scammed. I wish I could help you guys out to hell shut down few of this place. The dollars that they get have made them blind...I am sorry for this being an Indian I feel ashamed. Most of the employees mostly don't know what they are doing as they are given a script so they mostly end up scamming unknowingly.
They have the ability to make a business, but they can't make a legitimate one...that's what really makes no sense. The time they take to scam people that could be time they're learning how to program software and do real support.
@@The_Gallowglass I wish they could do something better with and others life
@@abyvarghese9128 sometimes the bosses are corrupt and they hire good people who have learned legit computer skills and they make them do bad things, because people need money. Hard to find a job sometimes.
@@The_Gallowglass I know it as I am from India and I feel sad for the elderly people there getting scammed by one of us. I wish I could stop this some how from my end.
How is “Damon” American accent so good?
Always satisfying to see these scammer get a wrench thrown in their plans. Great work as always!
I certainly have a notion to second that emotion !!
Happy to have found a new scambaiter (new to me, I came here via a recommendation in the comments of Atomic Shrimp, another with cool scambaiting videos, in that case all email based, so funny.) You are doing great work as well as entertaining us all. A vulnerable, elderly family member was scammed for who-knows how much via letter-based scams until other members of the family realised and had her mail diverted. Just awful, it seems she was sending money to them all.
That was awesome. Thanks pleasant Green, DEYO and the Trilogy Media ❤❤❤

THANK YOU BEN !! YOU AND YOUR CONTENT IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! I've watched every video and showed my fiancé and she loves you as well!!!!!
Your networking must be very pleasant, it's great to have good friends out there, good job guys🤙
What a great collaboration with the other "greats"! Love it!!! The scammers will soon have no where to hide. :)
i love how people come together for this cause
Loved this video!!! Totally enjoy when you collab with Trilogy Media!
Love your videos and work, best regards from Portugal.
Hello!
I just subbed.
The first anti-scammer I watched was Jim Browning, I've been hooked ever since, I love to see more and more anti-scammers popup on my youtube suggestions.
It's strange, I love watching videos like this, but in a perfect world they would not be needed, the world is not perfect so they are needed.
Keep up the good job!
I started watching the trilogy media video yesterday. Looking forward to finishing it today. You guys do great jobs bringing awareness of scams to people. I’ve been getting Medicare calls and I try to waste their time as much as I can. Good job
Great team work! Great to see everyone working together. Need more people like this! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Scam the scammers - I love it. It's a shame it's so difficult to result in criminal charges, but at least you increase awareness and waste their time = less people get scammed. Keep up the good work!
Lmao the discussion on spiderman cracked me up! Really enjoy the videos!
"its giving me the silent treatment"
"its like my ex-wife loise"
Between y’all, coffeezilla and SomeOrdinaryGamer, I hope you guys keep up the good work. Investigative reporting is not an easy job but society needs you
What about Jim browning

""Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled spiders" ! The whole video was awesome and very much appreciated, but that one comment had me laughing so hard. Thank you all around.
Thank you for these videos! They are really good 😊
This is the most coolest crossover ever, one of your best work yet :)
I can't say how much I appreciate your work even though we are on the opposite sides of the globe. Seeing these makes me happy thinking my grandparents don't even use a smartphone.
I love how all the scammers also fall for the "Ben dover", "Mike Rotch" and "Hugh Jass" names
its hilarious how hard such scammers try to hide their real accent
you definitly got a new sub here
😘
This was such a great video. Collaborating with others really made for a fun video! Hope to see more of these videos in the future!
Can’t wait for the next installment. Keep up the good work and thank you for helping to make this online world a little safer.
I could not agree more !!
Great collaboration, guys. 👍👍
You guys rock!!! God bless you!! Keep educating us ❤
I love these scambaiter collaborations! Awesome job!!!
Lol this took all kinds of twists and turns and this is the collab that I’m so here for!
I was waiting for this collab!
Hi mate firstly thank you very much for all the work you do I love all your stuff very entertaining very informative secondly I would like to wish you a happy New year this was a particularly good video I hope everyone takes heed from it a lot of people would’ve heard Alexa is for Christmas and I bet the scammers are having great fun they’re not difficult to set up I’m a blind person and I settles up no problems but people will get drawn into especially elderly people it’s good hopefully they’ll watch this first
Setting their building logo as the desktop background is such a power move. I love it.
10:15 "And if you google them you'll see plenty of complaints" *shows both of 2 complaints*
Love your work, man, but that one made me chuckle.
What a compact video buddy. Excellent work
Well done hope you save lots of people . What sickens me is they love taking advantage of elderly people and have no compassion. I have spoken to a scam victim online, and other people on the site were calling her stupid and its her own fault. So wrong, as anyone can be scammed or duped, there are plenty of different ones about to choose from. Hope you get these scammers stopped and eventually do enough damage to them to make sure they cannot trade like this ever again.
Thank you for this! Love to see these scammers get called out and punished. :-)
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !
Brilliant and eye opening.
This was gripping. Good job Ben! 🎉
I'm really surprised that "Damon" knows who Peter Parker is or who played him in a movie. Usually these scammers don't have the first freaking idea and use the most absurd names that show they don't know how to do even the most basic research into creating a fake name or have any idea what is or is not a famous person's name.
honestly, scammers likely work due to a lack of other options, especially in less developed states, maybe his fondness and talk about spiderman was because that was a legitimate interest, something that could hide both the lack of wealth and guilt. They speak with scripts, but behind each script is just another human.
I was talking to a "Vincent" from India who true to scam me using a Manchester number, whilst using a London address.
I said to him "You've obviously said my name not in the way I say it, because it isn't an English name" (They said it the same way an older relative from Pakistan might say it), and said to him "It isn't a secret that we've got a lot of Indian people in the UK too. Stop pretending you're white when you're not"
I'd be more likely to trust an Indian scammer who uses their real Indian name than someone who pretends they're white, especially when people call legitimate companies in the UK and the US, those with Pakistani and Indian heritage use their own bloody real names.
You do get the odd "John" or "Paul" in India given Christian Indians existing. The ones that have those names either have biblical names or British names because of the whole empire thing. Not bloody Vincent
That, and most Christians in India live in Goa. Most scammers in India aren't from Goa
That talk about spiderman was so wholesome
I found this guy in tiktok and I'm up all night binge watching 😅 THIS IS AMAZING!!
Thank you. I wanted to check Nord out. I will definitely check privacy.
