Romanian here, most definitely Romanian accent 100%. Contact the Romanian police give them all the info you have and the phone number, you'll be surprised.
Totally agree, you should contact romanian police and they will give you a hand for sure. A friend recovered a stolen motorbike that months later he found it was being sold in Romania. He went to the local police station in the romanian town where the bike was being sold (yes, he took a flight to Romania) and 2 hours later the police arrived with the bike in a truck like if it was a magic trick. The police didn't explain too much about where it was or who had it and he didn't ask either, but he recovered his bike
dublin native here, this guy lived in /lives in dublin (he is definetly from romania) id say dublin north west maybe(south of ireland). he says at least 5 expresions of pure dublin. I noticed a dublin post code on one of the documents you showed (dublin 15) that links up with the accent. thats part of the scam, is bouncing between the differnt jurisdictions, republic of ireland (eu) and northern ireland (uk) thats why no police will touch it, but europol would if you get a name and picture, easy to pass it around the dublin romanian community
i once saw a talk on the last chaos communication congress, where they showed how to use chatgpt for generating plausible/common gmail aliases ("what would be possible aliases for Name Familyname on a webmailservice like gmail?") and then just pasting all fifty options into their gmail, that has a nice automatic discover accounts-functionality, so if "Alex" by any chance would use a google account - which he probably needed for the gmaps business - you could maybe get more info/credentials from that...
You should use a letter of credit from your bank to pay for your next excavator. This is a little bit more expensive but it guarantees that the payment is made only when the goods are received. Ask your bank about an LC. Good luck
Dave's got a crazy excess of chill to be able to talk to a scammer like that super calm and level-headed. It's inspirational. His fake accent, not so much, but his emotional control is amazing.

Hey, I'm a lawyer. The crime took place in Ireland, the bank is in Ireland, not in Portugal, which makes Ireland the most likely jurisdiction. You should do everything by email (and document it) so you have proof of the interaction and also that - in this case - Barclays - refuses to cooperate and clearly does not have compliance checks or scam hurdles in place. Also, the websites they use to scam could be liable. Also, you should start any email conversation you have online with your name, your channel, the number of followers. I can look over any letters/emails you need to send to make it deadly 🗡️. This should stop.
@@mcburnski A bit of a "crowbar separation" please. I would imagine it is quite a difference dealing with the UK authorities compared with the Irish authorities.
Hopefully the Portuguese police are doing something to help. I guess they were informed of your channel, so can also use this information too. As you say, next time go and see the physical digger before purchasing.
In the US it’s useless to report scams to the police - especially international scams because those type of acts are not within their jurisdiction. It’s best to take scams like this to the federal level where they have authority to conduct international investigations. Also, crimes like this should be reported to the victims bank. They’re in a better position to assist.
Romanian here. As someone that worked as a telecom engineer, I would say that the telephone number is your best bet. The email host will have to provide the whole number and with the number is pretty easy to locate the scammer. You could also try this with their new email address as well to see if they are still using the same phone numbers, but that doesn't matter too much as the telecom operator can extract precise data on the person using the number based on the reported time. The problem is that you can't do anything without the police as all of this is protected personal information, thus it can be obtained only when the authorities are involved.
@@chickadeeacres3864 stolen ID complicates things but the disposable phone is not relevant. The telecom servers keep the location of the number. It doesn't even has to perform calls. As long as it is turned on they are being tracked. This feature is used at all times for emergency services.
Something that’s plagued my thoughts for a while about removing the mimosas, with the stripping bark technique, it leaves a lot of deadwood which for wildfire prevention is almost scarier than a live tree because you’re not removing the fuel for the fire and you’re making it dryer. I understand the balance of removing trees to prevent wildfires versus preventing mudslides. But if the main priority is fire, leaving deadwood, and lots of it is not the best solution.
True. But also, if the fire doesn’t come the soil will start to get humid and like that turning the land more resilient Although do agree rather removing a good part of it and reuse it, give at away, sell it… it’s a smart move beneficial to all parts
Maybe an idea to inform the auction company that some Romanian scammers stole their pictures to "sell" the diggers while using their photo's. Maybe they can file a report at the police for that. While using all the information you have gathered.
I dont think that pictures are property of auction website. And i dont see a reason why they should care if the crime is not commited on their site. And i dont see how it would help to anything. They can just download different pictures or just rent some machinery and make their own pics/videos. Its not that hard to ask for rental and then take pics so you have material for internet
@@milliondollarart Many sites like this at the very least put their name stamped into the photo. This would be a simple fix for them. edit went back to look, could see the stamp bottom right - was this cropped/removed, or was it the original?
For the office.... have you thought of building a solar chimney? Basically a long black pipe leading from a high point in the building, syphoning hot air away. If you then add an intake pipe on the cool side of the building that leads through the cool soil (you'll need to take care of condensation catchmdnt though) and then ends up at a low point in the building, you'll have a natural airconditioning
would love an update on your fruit trees and your vegetable garden. How is everything growing? Any challenges in the heat? Are you harvesting? How is your food prep team enjoying having their own produce?
On the excavator subject, Have you tried to get in touch with some anti-scammers youtubers? You give them an idea for content and maybe they can found out something new.
I love the idea of having a separate, quieter living area. I personally get super over stimulated when I'm around people for too long, so living in an open camping area would drive me insane. It might be a good future project to create some more quiet spaces for relaxing away from the noise of work. But the comment about it being harder to have access to people when you need their help is a fair criticism. If you can set up a non-urgent line of communication, like a discord server, that lets you be in contact while allowing personal distance, that might mitigate some issues
As someone who suffers from WAD (whiplash associated disorders) it is very relatable to have your brain in a quiet place at least a few times a day and sometimes more days in a row. I have met people talking about that same need without them suffering from injuries. Some people need more quiet times than others. Cheers
Everybody knows about extroverts and introverts - let alone other kinds of neurospicy - some people thrive in extremely social spaces and others don’t. Expecting introverts to be successful in an extroverted space is asking for trouble and simply isn’t fair. Would you demand that somebody who didn’t have legs walk upstairs? Of course not.
The way I understood the criticism is that the living in separate spaces recreates/enforces certain hierarchy structures (i.e. the separate living spaces are for people you live there year around) vs. it's being need based. I agree that this should be looked at critically, because solitude can be a basic human need. If it's good for the goose, it good for the gander. And if a certain status (I.e. year around resident) should give you certain privileges or not. After all, this is also a social experiment for community living, right?
I really like it that the beginners of this project still can say that they don't know a lot about what they are aiming for. Things are going to develop in one way or another. They are just trying out things. They do not present themselves as gurus, know it alls, they are always investigating, trying, asking. I like that.
I personally would prefer it if they just sold iron on patches. Then we could put them on the clothes or textiles we already have and it would benefit them instead of a random print on demand service..
i think their idea is more sustainable. i imagine you have some shirt lying around that you can put it on : ) i like that they think about what the most sustainable option is, rather than the most convenient. fashion has gotten way too convenient imo!
this is exactly what i thought from when they first learned it was a scam. But maybe it's not straight forward to get interpol involved? I would suspect that this falls under both cyber crime and organized crime. Perhaps it's a case of convincing the local police this is an international issue hat may require Interpol resources/databases? I dunno. I don't totally understand.
Good luck on finding the scammer, we had experience with this once and the Police actually did an investigation but suddenly they disappeared. The lucky part for us was we actually got the car so in the end we lost time and gained some grey hairs but financially we didn't suffer too much. We even met the scammers in real life when buying the car 😅
I remember last year starting to register on the site before remembering I'm just a programmer and not knowing what I'd even do there, but now seeing the very obvious scam in my trained eyes that would have definitely saved the project a painful 15k...
About the merch, FINALLY someone that did what I've been thinking for years. I don't want your tshirts, I already have them. I want the print, so I can let it get printed on a shirt that I already own or so that I can put it on the millions of tote bags that get gifted to me every single time. I try the "refuse" method, but this mostly gets ignored.
Goats are good to keep the land tight and you don’t have to be constantly cutting bushes and grass. You can always speak to neighbours and they use your land where you need. Many farms do that when they have small pasture.
Anyone who has owned goats knows that getting them to eat what you want them to eat and stay where you want the to stay is, to put it mildly and with utmost respect, IMPOSSIBLE!! Stop suggesting goats unless you are willing to come herd them yourself!
@@ananunez8374 have any of you who suggest goats ever HAD goats yourself?? My goats refused the brambles and were impossible to keep in. Total nuisance!!
I don't know if you know this. When you get your excavator there is an attachment for grinding and mulching trees. You can just grind all that stuff up and mulch it up. And with that attachment, if you find one that would fit the S the grater that you buy, you can literally mulch, grind all them briars all them. Momosa trees and everything, and instead of having to cut them down and cut 'em up into logs and all that, it's another ideal for your project camp
Need hydraulics that can handle a mulcher though, don't know if a 3-5 t machine could handle that... never seen any on anything smaller than 10T myself...
Well, that too, but the lack of official response is dispiriting. Honestly, this collective sleuthing may yield the best results up to - handing authorities the proof and hoping they follow through.
About the goats, they eat spikey bushes, provide milk, mostly friendly. One bad thing, they like to escape ! But you guys do not live the whole year on the land... So i think having animals is quite a challenge, but would be great for providing a food source and overall experience. For the next Q and A, would you consider having a small livestock farm in the future? And for the whole team, witch animals would they prefer to have in this kind of set up.
I believe the project is vegan/vegetarian, so having "livestock" would be against their ideals. Though I'm not entirely sure if they are officially veg*n.
@@thewiseturtle Yeah, i know they are partly vegan/vegetarian, thats why i am eager to know how they think about it. I do believe that the best way of living could be self sustainable, that includes animals for clearing grass, bushes, wool, leather and even a source of food. Also the space they have is big enough to be a fully free roaming area, any type of animal that gets to live there would be lucky.
Tell him that you are in Northern Ireland and will pick up the digger yourself and see what reaction you get. You have a subscriber that can go past his address

Love your channel.
I've lived for years in Romania, and speak the language reasonably well. This looks very much like a Romanian, speaking English, yes. Pity that a few crooks give the people a bad name. I can assure you that most Romanians are honest and very hospitable people. Hopefully they will be caught; Romanian prisons aren't really nice.
Yeah when I saw that the guy might be from Romania my heart sinked 😢 I dont blame anyone from Europe that calls us bad names because the evidence is there, whenever bad things happen we are there, makes me sad because normal Romanians are one of the most welcoming people imo, ah well, hope they manage to catch whoever is doing this
@@bolinfan1519 nah, meant normal people that dont do bad things, even tho gypsies contribute they not the only ones ruining the country reputation, actual romanians do bad things too, all countries have their bad apples
As a Romanian myself, I can confirm also the Romanian accent. but at the same time, I am sorry that some of our people are doing these types of things :(. So sorry from Romania guys. Still following this though !

I’ve noticed that there are a number of flies buzzing around in the video. I’m wondering how much the “poop palace” contributes to this and is there an overall health risk to the community. You have an open kitchen and no doubt the flies are landing on food . Thoughts?
Goats for what?! For eating mimosa and spikey booshes! Maybe you could just borrow the goats? In the US, some people rent out their goats to people who want to use them to decimate the invasives
but goats eat everything, not only what you want them to eat. And they eat mimosa sprouts not the full blown trees. might not be a bad idea, im just sayng that it would require some fencing/herding , which is more effort/time on the kampers
If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest that you pass along the information you found to the police. At least that way they can have it. In the previous video you said that the Irish police have someone looking into a case where they scammed someone there. If that's the case, then you might also call the local police in Ireland and find out the detective there working on that case and pass the information you found out to him or her so they can make use of it. In the latter case, you wouldn't be filing a complaint, but rather providing information to the police for their investigation. Hope this helps.
Thats def a Romanian I can tell from the accent and I’m from there too, I’m so sorry to hear that he might be from here, not the way I wanted to hear my country name in one of your videos but oh well, we doing it to ourselves sadly 😢
It's only a small percentage. Don't worry, intelligent people don't generalise. I've lived for years in Oradea, speak the language and encountered no more problems than in the Netherlands. We have these criminals as well, like every other country.
The refection in the digger window is unlikely to be the "Scammer" If the image came from another source it is more likely to be the original owner or someone hired to photograph the equipment for the original owner
It shocks me a bit that the dynamic between people is a bit more negative (compared to the seasons before). Of course could be because there are a lot of people. Hopefully all goes well. Be communicative with each other.
The bank will not give you the info, however, if you make a formal written complaint, with Barkley, including the police report and the banking details their compliance team will HAVE to check, and increase the chances of the account being investigated. I work in a financial institution, written formal complaints (as those need to be reported to the regulators) get far more attention than a call or chat contact.
Great video, I love to see elements of the people stuff and people challenges because it’s something I just never could manage myself, and so I love to see people handling things I can’t imagine, it’s like watching and imagining a special magic power! You are all doing an amazing job, I am loving being able to watch and follow along with everything :D
if you ever hear someone with an accent when buying/using money from anyone online/over phone say " ah yes yes yes yes " in that greedy business man voice to anything you ask, its almost always a scam lol
You can to to the police website in Ireland and report the scam. There you download the documents from police in Portugal and who to contact and if you can translate even better. They’ll get in contact for sure. The “company” is based there and they’re supposed to investigate when reported as it was a big amount!
Maybe it's possible to have a chat with the TH-cam channel Scammer Payback or a similar one. With the size of your channel, they might respond and offer some help or ideas on what to do.
Dude sounds romanian, but his romanian accent english sounds like its from ireland, not the standard english everyone gets in school in central/eastern europe. If you're that good at english and live in romania you're probably quite well educated and don't need to scam someone. Wasn't there some dublin post code on some document. Maybe he migrated from romania to ireland.
You all are amazing ❤❤❤I just love want your doing with your camp and you all seem like such lovely humans! Always rooting for you and wish you all the best in future projects around camp❤❤❤
The only problem I forsee with the scammer is that the business is a LTD business. All they have to do is declare the company bankrupt and walk away laughing with the cash because no doubt the business has zero assets or money. The scammers will be up and running today under a new LTD business name.
@@stefben9325 Didn't you notice the scammer said they got scammed? All they have to say is they thought the paperwork they recieved was legit. They have all those emails that look legit after all with the buyer to show the investigators all was above board. Sneaky scammers know how to play all the loopholes.
@@anibaldamiao In Aluminium Fabricators Ltd[1], in imposing personal liability on directors, O’Hanlon J. held: “The privilege of limitation of liability which is afforded by the Companies Act in relation to companies incorporated under the Act with limited liability, cannot be afforded to those who use a limited company as a cloak or shield beneath which they seek to operate a fraudulent system of carrying on business for their own personal enrichment and advantage.” this is a ruling that was made in the past by a judge, i think in our case this would be classified as Fraudolent trading. which if proven would mean the company officers could have liability even if behind an LTD. what matters here mostly is intent
@@anibaldamiao this would be classified as fraudulent trading since they only had the intention of taking the money and never giving any excavator. which if proven would mean the officers would be liable beyond the LTD. if an LTD was a complete cover from criminal liability they wouldn't even have to hide their identity, scamming with an LTD in that case would be legal since there are no consequences for the person
Based on the experience you had with these scammers, it might be worth it to do a reverse google search and see if the same photos show up before making a purchase. It is amazing how easy it is to get scammed on the internet and what a complicated web it is to try and find the source.
Definitely sounds like a romanian (the scammer). It's such a shame, it's full of them here in Romania. I tried to lookup the phone number from your information (nowadays every phone number is assigned to an ID of a real person), but it's quite hard to find anything. Will keep on looking
Try to reach out to the embassies/consulates of the countries involved in Portugal to ask for the legal actions you should take or can take. They usually have law units which probably have more knowledge than most of us.

I agree that this should be looked at critically, because solitude can be a basic human need. If it's good for the goose, it good for the gander. And if a certain status (I.e. year around resident) should give you certain privileges or not. After all, this is also a social experiment for community living, right?
Great update. Looks like the editing team had a blast on this one. Very nice.
Great story telling style. I loved it too!
I really like it that the beginners of this project still can say that they don't know a lot about what they are aiming for. Things are going to develop in one way or another. They are just trying out things. They do not present themselves as gurus, know it alls, they are always investigating, trying, asking. I like that.
Loved the new approach to the spikey booshes merch!
I personally would prefer it if they just sold iron on patches. Then we could put them on the clothes or textiles we already have and it would benefit them instead of a random print on demand service..
for the next round, i would recommend to put project kamp and their social handles on it, so that it becomes advertising for your great content
i think their idea is more sustainable. i imagine you have some shirt lying around that you can put it on : ) i like that they think about what the most sustainable option is, rather than the most convenient. fashion has gotten way too convenient imo!
this is a case for INTERPOL!
More like a case for @Jim Browning if u ask me
I think last month, the Interpol took out at huge online scam Romanian scam network (it was on the Dutch news)
@@karuzo4116 Or for @KitbogaShow
@@karuzo4116hell yeah
this is exactly what i thought from when they first learned it was a scam. But maybe it's not straight forward to get interpol involved? I would suspect that this falls under both cyber crime and organized crime. Perhaps it's a case of convincing the local police this is an international issue hat may require Interpol resources/databases? I dunno. I don't totally understand.
Dave’s incognito accent made my day 🤣
THANK YOU FOR THE SPIKEY BOOSHES!!! Love Fixing Fashion (and Precious Plastic)! One Army for the Future! 🥰🥰🥰
Best tattoo? Dave: No tattoo?! LOL!! Totally agree!!
Good luck on finding the scammer, we had experience with this once and the Police actually did an investigation but suddenly they disappeared. The lucky part for us was we actually got the car so in the end we lost time and gained some grey hairs but financially we didn't suffer too much. We even met the scammers in real life when buying the car 😅
JAIME'S BACK!!!!
Spikey booshes drawing on a fixing fashion shirt would be a cool collaboration to create merch from old broken t-shirts
I remember last year starting to register on the site before remembering I'm just a programmer and not knowing what I'd even do there, but now seeing the very obvious scam in my trained eyes that would have definitely saved the project a painful 15k...
About the merch, FINALLY someone that did what I've been thinking for years. I don't want your tshirts, I already have them. I want the print, so I can let it get printed on a shirt that I already own or so that I can put it on the millions of tote bags that get gifted to me every single time. I try the "refuse" method, but this mostly gets ignored.
Goats are good to keep the land tight and you don’t have to be constantly cutting bushes and grass. You can always speak to neighbours and they use your land where you need. Many farms do that when they have small pasture.
Anyone who has owned goats knows that getting them to eat what you want them to eat and stay where you want the to stay is, to put it mildly and with utmost respect, IMPOSSIBLE!! Stop suggesting goats unless you are willing to come herd them yourself!
...totally agree - and they also eat Spikey stuff!
@@ananunez8374 have any of you who suggest goats ever HAD goats yourself?? My goats refused the brambles and were impossible to keep in. Total nuisance!!
@@Barbaralee1205 it depends the type. That’s why is always good to speak with neighbours, they know the best for their type of land.
@@ananunez8374 just checking … have you ever owned goats yourself??
I don't know if you know this. When you get your excavator there is an attachment for grinding and mulching trees. You can just grind all that stuff up and mulch it up. And with that attachment, if you find one that would fit the S the grater that you buy, you can literally mulch, grind all them briars all them. Momosa trees and everything, and instead of having to cut them down and cut 'em up into logs and all that, it's another ideal for your project camp
Need hydraulics that can handle a mulcher though, don't know if a 3-5 t machine could handle that... never seen any on anything smaller than 10T myself...
Instead of calling the scammer you should notify the portuguese police that it must be the same scammer.
Well, that too, but the lack of official response is dispiriting. Honestly, this collective sleuthing may yield the best results up to - handing authorities the proof and hoping they follow through.
Brilliant idea with the download of spikey booshes, well done!
James, happy to see you 😊 again hanging arround in project camp. Say hello to Kévin I miss him.
About the goats, they eat spikey bushes, provide milk, mostly friendly.
One bad thing, they like to escape !
But you guys do not live the whole year on the land... So i think having animals is quite a challenge, but would be great for providing a food source and overall experience.
For the next Q and A, would you consider having a small livestock farm in the future? And for the whole team, witch animals would they prefer to have in this kind of set up.
I believe the project is vegan/vegetarian, so having "livestock" would be against their ideals. Though I'm not entirely sure if they are officially veg*n.
@@thewiseturtle
Yeah, i know they are partly vegan/vegetarian, thats why i am eager to know how they think about it.
I do believe that the best way of living could be self sustainable, that includes animals for clearing grass, bushes, wool, leather and even a source of food.
Also the space they have is big enough to be a fully free roaming area, any type of animal that gets to live there would be lucky.
Stay hydrated! That's some advice I can definitely support!
I really love this storytelling!
YAY Spiky booshes merch!!!
Happy to be part of this community, even just the ones watching on youtube :)
Tell him that you are in Northern Ireland and will pick up the digger yourself and see what reaction you get. You have a subscriber that can go past his address
YES! I would volunteer to go.
Omg spikey booshes!!! 🎉 Great way to do it, I know you’d not feel comfortable with the merch route, this is an awesome alternative. And thanks :D
Should hire a phone tracker to know where they are exactly. This really sucks that you are dealing with this.
I suppose note to self....NEVER BUY SOMETHING THAT YOU CANNOT SEE IN PERSON AND NEVER DO THOSE HUGE SALES BY PHONE.
The world is FULL of crooked people. I know you've learned your lesson. Love your channel.
I've lived for years in Romania, and speak the language reasonably well. This looks very much like a Romanian, speaking English, yes.
Pity that a few crooks give the people a bad name. I can assure you that most Romanians are honest and very hospitable people. Hopefully they will be caught; Romanian prisons aren't really nice.
Yeah when I saw that the guy might be from Romania my heart sinked 😢 I dont blame anyone from Europe that calls us bad names because the evidence is there, whenever bad things happen we are there, makes me sad because normal Romanians are one of the most welcoming people imo, ah well, hope they manage to catch whoever is doing this
@@Darx97 Not a normal Romanian? Do you mean the crook is a Gypsy?
@@bolinfan1519 nah, meant normal people that dont do bad things, even tho gypsies contribute they not the only ones ruining the country reputation, actual romanians do bad things too, all countries have their bad apples
37:03 incredible ending🎉🎉🎉 you could put in a pickleball court! The team did an outstanding job on this video 😊
Tell the truth and communicate, lovely answer to how we should live
This episode became a Detective show😅😅
As a Romanian myself, I can confirm also the Romanian accent. but at the same time, I am sorry that some of our people are doing these types of things :(. So sorry from Romania guys. Still following this though !
Romanian here. Romanian accent for sure, but minimal chance to find by mobile number, here you can buy prepaid sim without id.
Lol nu-i adevărat, de prin 2018 nu mai poți cumpăra sim-uri fără buletin.
@@bolbarazvan ai o astfel de experienta recenta? eu am, acum 3 luni am cumparat o cartela de la Orange si nu am prezentat nici-un document, magazinul era chiar in mall!
@@cznarts5887 da, acum cateva luni a trebuit sa iau niste sim-uri pentru fostul job si mi s-a cerut buletinul. De asemenea, la reincarcare prepay, la orange cel putin nu poti sa iti reincarci contul fara datele personale.
I’ve noticed that there are a number of flies buzzing around in the video. I’m wondering how much the “poop palace” contributes to this and is there an overall health risk to the community. You have an open kitchen and no doubt the flies are landing on food . Thoughts?
Love the update on the story!
I love ALL Project Kamp videos!
Spikey booshes? What a wonderful idea!
Good luck catching the digger scammer!
Love how the Video Team Made These one, ITS awesome ❤
Great video, guys! I really enjoyed it, well done to the video making team!
Mandela effect: monopoly man never had a monocle. Minds blown! I personally remember the monocle, but look it up. Down the rabbit hole we go.
Julie is back! Yay!
Lovely to hear that X PK's are starting their own projects . It's a lovely evolution & bring it on !!
Dave is the kind of guy who iniated rolling up one of the largest online scamming networks in Europe #youfkwiththewrongguy
Goats for what?! For eating mimosa and spikey booshes! Maybe you could just borrow the goats? In the US, some people rent out their goats to people who want to use them to decimate the invasives
but goats eat everything, not only what you want them to eat. And they eat mimosa sprouts not the full blown trees. might not be a bad idea, im just sayng that it would require some fencing/herding , which is more effort/time on the kampers
@@inMuro You can put a collar and chain on a goat to limit them to the area you want.

If you haven't already done so, I'd suggest that you pass along the information you found to the police. At least that way they can have it. In the previous video you said that the Irish police have someone looking into a case where they scammed someone there. If that's the case, then you might also call the local police in Ireland and find out the detective there working on that case and pass the information you found out to him or her so they can make use of it. In the latter case, you wouldn't be filing a complaint, but rather providing information to the police for their investigation. Hope this helps.
Absolutely, hope they do it, but doubt it
Romania here. We have good police. Make contact with them.
Thats def a Romanian I can tell from the accent and I’m from there too, I’m so sorry to hear that he might be from here, not the way I wanted to hear my country name in one of your videos but oh well, we doing it to ourselves sadly 😢
It's only a small percentage. Don't worry, intelligent people don't generalise. I've lived for years in Oradea, speak the language and encountered no more problems than in the Netherlands. We have these criminals as well, like every other country.
@@johnvanhal2450 thank you ♥️
Maybe you can call the local police and ask for advice - what projekt camp should do and if romanian police will help?
The refection in the digger window is unlikely to be the "Scammer" If the image came from another source it is more likely to be the original owner or someone hired to photograph the equipment for the original owner
The secret to life? "stay hydrated" Yes sir!
Oh Mummy and Daddy away on holiday, maybe they scout for a new solution to the Digger problem and on return bring good news. Here is hoping!!
It shocks me a bit that the dynamic between people is a bit more negative (compared to the seasons before). Of course could be because there are a lot of people. Hopefully all goes well. Be communicative with each other.
TYSM for answering my question about tattoos! ❤️🥰❤️
I love seeing the differences in the editing as new people arrive. Truly unique.
It would add a lot to these videos if you could add timestamps to the Q&A section as well, even if it's just numbered
If you make it we add it :)
Really good update, you two are such a good duo 😆
The bank will not give you the info, however, if you make a formal written complaint, with Barkley, including the police report and the banking details their compliance team will HAVE to check, and increase the chances of the account being investigated. I work in a financial institution, written formal complaints (as those need to be reported to the regulators) get far more attention than a call or chat contact.
You can use a string curtain in the door so the flies won't enter.
Try to contact interpol and see what happens
Climate Town did a great video on sustainable merch. That might be a win-win.
I am so impressed by everyone here at Project Kamp. Thank you for your mindfulness and dedication to your mission. Cheers!
Great video, I love to see elements of the people stuff and people challenges because it’s something I just never could manage myself, and so I love to see people handling things I can’t imagine, it’s like watching and imagining a special magic power! You are all doing an amazing job, I am loving being able to watch and follow along with everything :D
if you ever hear someone with an accent when buying/using money from anyone online/over phone say " ah yes yes yes yes " in that greedy business man voice to anything you ask, its almost always a scam lol
Please please please use an escrow service when you next buy something big and expensive, that's what they're for.
You can to to the police website in Ireland and report the scam. There you download the documents from police in Portugal and who to contact and if you can translate even better.
They’ll get in contact for sure.
The “company” is based there and they’re supposed to investigate when reported as it was a big amount!
When you get enough recipes you should sell the Project Camp Cookbook!
Maybe it's possible to have a chat with the TH-cam channel Scammer Payback or a similar one. With the size of your channel, they might respond and offer some help or ideas on what to do.
Dude sounds romanian, but his romanian accent english sounds like its from ireland, not the standard english everyone gets in school in central/eastern europe. If you're that good at english and live in romania you're probably quite well educated and don't need to scam someone.
Wasn't there some dublin post code on some document. Maybe he migrated from romania to ireland.
You all are amazing ❤❤❤I just love want your doing with your camp and you all seem like such lovely humans! Always rooting for you and wish you all the best in future projects around camp❤❤❤
Love how you dug into this scam pitty you have to do the cops jobs
The only problem I forsee with the scammer is that the business is a LTD business. All they have to do is declare the company bankrupt and walk away laughing with the cash because no doubt the business has zero assets or money. The scammers will be up and running today under a new LTD business name.
LTDs can't save you from criminal liability, they never had an excavator to sell
That’s not true. Read Irish incorporation and accounting law
@@stefben9325 Didn't you notice the scammer said they got scammed? All they have to say is they thought the paperwork they recieved was legit. They have all those emails that look legit after all with the buyer to show the investigators all was above board. Sneaky scammers know how to play all the loopholes.
@@anibaldamiao In Aluminium Fabricators Ltd[1], in imposing personal liability on directors, O’Hanlon J. held:
“The privilege of limitation of liability which is afforded by the Companies Act in relation to companies incorporated under the Act with limited liability, cannot be afforded to those who use a limited company as a cloak or shield beneath which they seek to operate a fraudulent system of carrying on business for their own personal enrichment and advantage.” this is a ruling that was made in the past by a judge, i think in our case this would be classified as Fraudolent trading. which if proven would mean the company officers could have liability even if behind an LTD. what matters here mostly is intent
@@anibaldamiao this would be classified as fraudulent trading since they only had the intention of taking the money and never giving any excavator. which if proven would mean the officers would be liable beyond the LTD.
if an LTD was a complete cover from criminal liability they wouldn't even have to hide their identity, scamming with an LTD in that case would be legal since there are no consequences for the person
Based on the experience you had with these scammers, it might be worth it to do a reverse google search and see if the same photos show up before making a purchase. It is amazing how easy it is to get scammed on the internet and what a complicated web it is to try and find the source.
Stay hydrated!
Love it
Definitely sounds like a romanian (the scammer). It's such a shame, it's full of them here in Romania. I tried to lookup the phone number from your information (nowadays every phone number is assigned to an ID of a real person), but it's quite hard to find anything. Will keep on looking
damn, u locate the scamer, W for u
I am so sorry you have to go through all this. Scamming is worldwide.
At last! The answer to life, the universe and everything….stay hydrated! 😅😅
If any of you has a Xiaomi cellphone they should work as a remote for the fan too, as most of them have infrared installed
i am romanian, and my english sounds the same
haha oh dear
So happy you got more than you already had . The way you live is amazing . If I was younger I’d join you. You encompass my views on how to try live .
Try to reach out to the embassies/consulates of the countries involved in Portugal to ask for the legal actions you should take or can take. They usually have law units which probably have more knowledge than most of us.
