This is awesome! You should keep doing this under different names with the same scammer group and others you can find. The scammers never saw any of your real identity, so you can just keep creating new fake identities and re-applying for the job, and they can never know who they are actually interacting with.

Nice work. Am a Nigerian and not all of us are Scammers. And Nigeria isn't as bad as "Emmanuel" painted it. Kids these days want fast money so rather than learning a Skill, they chose Fraud and then blame the Country as a reason for being a Scammer.

Just a heads up, those checks never make it to the addresses, those addresses are just fronts and they are diverted to the real address is somewhere else.
@@capcamouflagepatterni6162 makeing fake checks is illegal so the guy who printed the checks in the first place would get in trouble. The account of the employer was a fake one.
@@cristianpopa7454 I am aware the employer is a fake account. Odin AllFather is saying that the people he is shipping the fake checks to is aware of the scam and another worker in it. Even if they didn't print the checks, if they then tried to pass them off as real despite knowing they are fake, that is still illegal.
So based on the quick map image, that address is 12321 6th Street, Santa Fe, TX. They're either part of the scam or someone who is also "employed" by the scammer. It may be that someone is working at the post office in that rural area and basically intercepts these when they come in with that address or maybe they fill out a redirect form at the post office every month or so and have it redirect to another address for a while as if they moved elsewhere and still have mail coming to the address. The person at the address may just be some innocent, random person who happened to live in the middle of nowhere and was picked as a random target. I'd be curious to know if they're having any issues with their mail not showing up. I have been pondering how this scam would finish. If they theoretically got the check and the account number isn't valid and the check is found to be fake, I'm not seeing how the scammer would get their money or how even the company placed on the check would "lose" money. I don't think a bank would process a $130K check just deposited into an ATM or even in-person via the bank. The person might be temporarily detained by police to figure out where the check came from, but I don't think that their account would bounce for $130K. I'm not seeing how the person getting the check would benefit or get paid OR how the scammer themselves would get paid unless they were redirecting to that address to have them redirect to yet another address. It may be that the scammer has a contact at both of those companies who is actually employed at each company and would use the check to embezzle from the company somehow. Or there may be someone working at the post office in the rural area looking for that specific address to come through and somehow reroute it or intercept it. There needs to be an international task force that specifically goes after scammers like this and permanently jails them, sells everything that they have and uses the money to fund itself and/or help out people who have been scammed by these people. They should get 30-40 years in prison for this.
So I've been a 'victim' of this type of scam before... I started getting UPS overnight envelopes that were "return to sender" and when I opened them, there were large checks inside. When I called UPS to complain they didn't seem to care to pursue the scammers (generally because they're overseas and next to impossible to prosecute. They did explain the scam to me though... What typically happens is an overseas scammer makes a deal with party A to buy something or complete some type of transaction where they pay "extra" for the item with the condition that part of the money be returned, or given to a courier who picks up the item, etc. The scammer then has party B (the payroll clerk) print and send a check... often using stolen ups or fedex account numbers. Sometimes Party A is asked to deposit the check and paypal or transfer money to the scammer... other times there's a Party C (hired from craigslist under false pretense in the same way the payroll clerk is hired) that will come pickup the item. The scam has several variants but the end game is to get someone in the states to deposit a fake check and transfer goods or money back to the scammer, sometimes through another party. The result will be that party A is on the hook for the money after the fake check bounces.
Let me explain it to you like this. A scammer contacts a genuine seller, asks to buy their items. Agree on price, then they send a fake check " from wherever source and usually ridiculously more than the actual value of the item in question". Upon receipt of the check, the scammer forces the seller to deposit the check in an account, knowing that the check will eventually bounce. Here comes the interesting part. The Scammer will then start to pressure the seller (now victim) to transfer the balance of the sum on the check upront (before the check even clears) to a shipper (the scammer's own network). So how the scammers make money is pressuring the victim to send his or her own money upfront based on their trust (gullibility) in the legal tender (fake check). Do you now understand it?
likely because they are truly and justifiably emotional. they are just trying to get by. it can be hard sometimes. i dont like what they are doing, but when you are hungry you are willing to do anything )`:
@@morgantran8085 So easy to be sympathetic towards these guys, up until they scam someone you know for everything they've got. There are people much worse off than these scammers who don't result to such terrible acts.
idk if FedEx has something similar, I expect they do, but UPS has something called SurePost where they ship USPS mail and deliver it to the post offices for them to deliver
These replies are true. I ordered a couple of things online, and was told it was going to be serviced to UPS. The majority was, but the last drive was made by USPS.
Alot of companies drop off there mail to USPS when they have to much or its not cost efficient to deliver it, and they just pocket the extra money that was paid for shipping.
dELTA13579111315 it’s not that, these were express labels. He straight up put them in the wrong box, maybe they got there eventually thanks to witty postmen
sagat4 I don't know about that. Here in america, social security (government-funded retirement checks, in case you're not from here) doesn't pay out enough for these people to live above the poverty line. If they really ARE little old ladies, it might be out of desperation. I know my relatives have gotten legit offers of over one million dollars on a particular piece of land (it's a very in-demand area nowadays, even though it was cheap when they got there) so they might think $130,000 for some of their land is reasonable, and it might help cover some medical bills (neither medicare nor medicaid cover 100% of medical costs for all recipients). Not trying to argue or anything, just trying to shed some light on the situation. I know if my family didn't subsidize my grandmother's income, then she would certainly be living below the poverty line.
@@yosoyysoyyo Imagine what it was like when government was not involved at all. Individuals would be left to plan out their own lives and futures and families would have had to take care of each other even more than they do now. The horror!

@ksubliminals There were some notable individuals in the old days in the USA who proposed that the USA should change the way it spells words in English to distinguish itself from England as well as to reflect a simpler and more phonetic spelling. Many of those proposals were implemented into the USA's educational system. Ironically, the USA is *still* using the old British system of measurement even though in the past it wanted to distinguish itself from England 😆
I'm thinking at least one of those envelops were sent to someone testing your loyalty (maybe all of them), thus you're instantly busted. I do hope you continue this/these vids...great story!
I found it weird too. However, after some research on google, it seems that even if you put Fedex package in USPS blue mailbox, it can still be delivered to its destination because of some agreement between these mail service companies.

I think you should have worked with the FBI on this. They (FBI) have connection with Nigeria's financial crime unit, you all would have being able to round them up from Nigeria side. Good job you've done but u saved very few when you could have saved alot by working with the FBI.

Meh he's more exposed than anything but considering his international status and the fact he was probably hiding behind a VPN just anyway... he wasn't "caught" unfortunately and likely is still running the scam to this day.
Your videos educated me on scams and just helped me avoid a scam with a fake check like this, I own a pressure washing company, a man named Mike Graham told me he was at the Kabul base in Afghanistan and wanted a quote for pressure washing. Luckily I can do this via Google maps because he lives a hour and a half from me ... where there are literally ten other established pressure washing companies, I started this year... any ways I give him the quote for 700$ he agrees but says there's a floor guy he'd like me to supervise while there. Weird but okay he was paying 100$ more for that. He says he'll send the check then I can schedule a start day once it clears (cool reduces risk of not getting paid) the check gets sent with a tracking number, arrives same day for 2000, he told me the 'secretary' messed up and sent the floor guys money too. shipped from Jackson Moore in NY, from a bank in GA whose address on the check doesn't match the address on Google, signed by Rick Davis. And the property didn't belong to him.
Not likely the scammers would out themselves like that. I'm guessing none of the envelopes actually went to the addresses printed on them. It's not a coincidence that they were all rural homes. Most likely there is someone working at a rural post office that intercepts these envelopes.
@SidtheKid I guess were just gonna ignore the fact these fuckers could be scamming uour grandparents and just be focused on the guy who just wants to tear them down before they do.
@SidtheKid okay. Well. Let's just agree that so.e of us would rather focus on there pride and than swallow it to stop innocent people from getting scamed. Remind me to not ever say anything when your the one getting robed. After all. I didn't see anything right?
How did you drop off a FedEX pre metered label into a USPS drop box and how did they ship it... what.. The envelopes used in the video should have gone in a Fedex express envelope..
the envelope\pak can be from anywhere all they care about is that it has a USPS label attached. however I ran that tracking number and its definitely a fedex racking number... so I too would like to know the answer to your question... how did a fedex labeled parcel manage to get shipped from a USPS drop box....?
Haven't you considered the possibility that this was staged? Don't get me wrong, either way it's a great video, but don't believe everything you see on TH-cam.
This happens all of the time. Fed Ex and UPS will pickup packages that were put in a USPS drop box from the USPS distribution center. Same goes for all of the other drop boxes.
This video is sooooo true. Sounds like a made for TV movie. But it is for real exactly the way you are revealing it. I know. I didn't get scammed but I did do my homework on this after being contacted. Everything is true. The checks, labels, envelopes. All of it. Be careful how you respond to work from home jobs. It's so sad using people like that. Please keep posting. This is very educational and reality.
This whole video is fake. Not only that, but he put Fedex labels on a USPS envelope and put them in a USPS drop box. This guys is as dumb as nigerian scammers and he just tried to scam youtube viewers.
When you went on your phone and typed in the "account number" you typed in the Routing number, which I checked, is in fact the routing number for SunTrust.
He said that he will pay you weekly. At the end of the video,you said a few weeks later,i lost my job and he blocked me. SOOOO,i have the obvious question here. How will ANT MAN SAVE THE WORLD????
Great video! I hope you really did this. Am I the only one that noticed you were putting FedEx Express shipping labels on USPS Priority Envelopes then dropping them off at the Post Office? I am sure some of the footage was taken afterwards just so you could make this video. If you really put a FedEx Express Shipping Label on a USPS Priority Envelope and then dropped them off at the Post Office then these would have never made it to the destination. Anyways, keep it up! I hate all these scammers! The more that can be done to make their life harder and take time away from them scamming people the better!

The person might be temporarily detained by police to figure out where the check came from, but I don't think that their account would bounce for $130K. I'm not seeing how the person getting the check would benefit or get paid OR how the scammer themselves would get paid unless they were redirecting to that address to have them redirect to yet another address. It may be that the scammer has a contact at both of those companies who is actually employed at each company and would use the check to embezzle from the company somehow. Or there may be someone working at the post office in the rural area looking for that specific address to come through and somehow reroute it or intercept it.
There needs to be an international task force that specifically goes after scammers like this and permanently jails them, sells everything that they have and uses the money to fund itself and/or help out people who have been scammed by these people. They should get 30-40 years in prison for this.
So I've been a 'victim' of this type of scam before... I started getting UPS overnight envelopes that were "return to sender" and when I opened them, there were large checks inside. When I called UPS to complain they didn't seem to care to pursue the scammers (generally because they're overseas and next to impossible to prosecute. They did explain the scam to me though...
What typically happens is an overseas scammer makes a deal with party A to buy something or complete some type of transaction where they pay "extra" for the item with the condition that part of the money be returned, or given to a courier who picks up the item, etc. The scammer then has party B (the payroll clerk) print and send a check... often using stolen ups or fedex account numbers. Sometimes Party A is asked to deposit the check and paypal or transfer money to the scammer... other times there's a Party C (hired from craigslist under false pretense in the same way the payroll clerk is hired) that will come pickup the item. The scam has several variants but the end game is to get someone in the states to deposit a fake check and transfer goods or money back to the scammer, sometimes through another party. The result will be that party A is on the hook for the money after the fake check bounces.
Let me explain it to you like this. A scammer contacts a genuine seller, asks to buy their items. Agree on price, then they send a fake check " from wherever source and usually ridiculously more than the actual value of the item in question". Upon receipt of the check, the scammer forces the seller to deposit the check in an account, knowing that the check will eventually bounce. Here comes the interesting part. The Scammer will then start to pressure the seller (now victim) to transfer the balance of the sum on the check upront (before the check even clears) to a shipper (the scammer's own network). So how the scammers make money is pressuring the victim to send his or her own money upfront based on their trust (gullibility) in the legal tender (fake check). Do you now understand it?

But did you get paid?🤔
Why do they get so pissed off when they're called out for the con artists that they are? They deserved to be exposed.
no they don't. exposing nigerian scammers is racist sexist kkk
likely because they are truly and justifiably emotional. they are just trying to get by. it can be hard sometimes. i dont like what they are doing, but when you are hungry you are willing to do anything )`:

That label a FedEx label, he used USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelopes and shipped them with usps. How?
No wonder he was fired.
Yeah this video has gotta be fake lol
idk if FedEx has something similar, I expect they do, but UPS has something called SurePost where they ship USPS mail and deliver it to the post offices for them to deliver
These replies are true. I ordered a couple of things online, and was told it was going to be serviced to UPS. The majority was, but the last drive was made by USPS.
Alot of companies drop off there mail to USPS when they have to much or its not cost efficient to deliver it, and they just pocket the extra money that was paid for shipping.
dELTA13579111315 it’s not that, these were express labels. He straight up put them in the wrong box, maybe they got there eventually thanks to witty postmen
Can you contact some of the people you sent mails to? We need to hear why they fail for the scam.
sagat4 I don't know about that. Here in america, social security (government-funded retirement checks, in case you're not from here) doesn't pay out enough for these people to live above the poverty line. If they really ARE little old ladies, it might be out of desperation. I know my relatives have gotten legit offers of over one million dollars on a particular piece of land (it's a very in-demand area nowadays, even though it was cheap when they got there) so they might think $130,000 for some of their land is reasonable, and it might help cover some medical bills (neither medicare nor medicaid cover 100% of medical costs for all recipients). Not trying to argue or anything, just trying to shed some light on the situation. I know if my family didn't subsidize my grandmother's income, then she would certainly be living below the poverty line.

You did some wonderful work there. If only these dishonest scammers would stop preying upon the vulnerable people in our society.
These scammers steal ups/fedex account numbers too. So everything you sent was most likely charged to someone fraudulently.
This is the most light hearted counter intelligence operation I have ever seen! 😹😹😹
How did you get paid, and how much??
I am also interested in applying for this job.
Thanks.

@@justafuckinusername He got paid 1.2 million US in fake cheques. The youtuber is now in jail with a sore butt. lol
ksubliminals. USA spelling vs UK + Australia. 🤷🏽♂️ Its weird (Caucasian) Americans are from UK.
Eg. Gaol/Jail.
@ksubliminals There were some notable individuals in the old days in the USA who proposed that the USA should change the way it spells words in English to distinguish itself from England as well as to reflect a simpler and more phonetic spelling. Many of those proposals were implemented into the USA's educational system. Ironically, the USA is *still* using the old British system of measurement even though in the past it wanted to distinguish itself from England 😆
n4wf s4l how do you normally see it spelled?
I'm thinking at least one of those envelops were sent to someone testing your loyalty (maybe all of them), thus you're instantly busted.
I do hope you continue this/these vids...great story!
Wow, your a genius!! We need more people like you in this world
why are you using FedEx labels on USPS packages?
Asking the real questions here? Also did you notice that his US map included "Wyoming "? Weird.
Yes what is the deal, is he scamming us, or really looking for scammers
Not only that, he dropped them off in a USPS Blue Collection box.
I think this is fake.
I found it weird too. However, after some research on google, it seems that even if you put Fedex package in USPS blue mailbox, it can still be delivered to its destination because of some agreement between these mail service companies.
@@qi6 USPS receives FedEx and UPS packages all the time. However, it is illegal to put FedEx shipping label on a USPS envelope.

Okay, I have determined that Ben needs to start a company and start a full scale attack on scammers from multiple angles. Kinda like what perverted justice did on "To Catch A Predator". I would be 1000% on board.

The old ladies probably called them up and told them that all they recieved was a note saying "THIS IS A SCAM" and requested the checks to be resent.
Yeah, he did nothing
@@theFishy_ Maybe, maybe not. Obviously at least one of the recipients reported it to the scammer, or was working for the scammer already, and was acting as an informant, but it's likely that at least some of the recipients was that and walked away from it And if not, at the very least, he is spreading awareness with this video.
This is awesome!!!!! Good on you my friend!!!! TY for doing the right thing!!! YOU ROCK!!!
Probably the best shit I’ll see all week. Thanks.
LOL! Freakin awesome. You just earned yourself a subscription. Well played sir.
I think you should have worked with the FBI on this. They (FBI) have connection with Nigeria's financial crime unit, you all would have being able to round them up from Nigeria side. Good job you've done but u saved very few when you could have saved alot by working with the FBI.
Akinyemi Akinsanmi how would he do that?
@@fudge5598 easy contact the FBI, tell them about his plan and am very sure FBI will work with him to arrest all the scammers from Nigeria side. It as being done and is still ongoing and this plan of pleasant green will also help.

Akinyemi Akinsanmi but I mean how do you just ring up the fbi, like “yello um I need u dudes do help me do a thing pls”
@@fudge5598 i dont live in your country but what i know from here that we've seen many joint operation between FBI and Nigeria law enforcement where scammers were arrested, all there asset confiscated and jailed. So to contact FBI over there is a problem he has solve.

😂😂😂 he says you're stupid once he gets caught lol
Meh he's more exposed than anything but considering his international status and the fact he was probably hiding behind a VPN just anyway... he wasn't "caught" unfortunately and likely is still running the scam to this day.
thank you. we need more people like you everywhere
this video deserves an award!
Your videos educated me on scams and just helped me avoid a scam with a fake check like this, I own a pressure washing company, a man named Mike Graham told me he was at the Kabul base in Afghanistan and wanted a quote for pressure washing. Luckily I can do this via Google maps because he lives a hour and a half from me ... where there are literally ten other established pressure washing companies, I started this year... any ways I give him the quote for 700$ he agrees but says there's a floor guy he'd like me to supervise while there. Weird but okay he was paying 100$ more for that. He says he'll send the check then I can schedule a start day once it clears (cool reduces risk of not getting paid) the check gets sent with a tracking number, arrives same day for 2000, he told me the 'secretary' messed up and sent the floor guys money too. shipped from Jackson Moore in NY, from a bank in GA whose address on the check doesn't match the address on Google, signed by Rick Davis. And the property didn't belong to him.
Thank you for your videos
Didn't need it because it was very obvious but I looked for the this is a scam paper.
He became the man he swore to never become!
I love this guy. Keep doing what you do.
I'm here early without a notification!!
Love how he puts “this is a scam” inside the box lol
One address ,you shipped the cheque to, was of scammer. Report it to the Police.
Not likely the scammers would out themselves like that. I'm guessing none of the envelopes actually went to the addresses printed on them. It's not a coincidence that they were all rural homes. Most likely there is someone working at a rural post office that intercepts these envelopes.
Well to be fair he should of reported this to the police anyway.
Sancholi Why? You want the cops to show up to someone’s rural home who probably has nothing to do with this and shoot their dog?
@SidtheKid I guess were just gonna ignore the fact these fuckers could be scamming uour grandparents and just be focused on the guy who just wants to tear them down before they do.
@SidtheKid okay. Well. Let's just agree that so.e of us would rather focus on there pride and than swallow it to stop innocent people from getting scamed. Remind me to not ever say anything when your the one getting robed. After all. I didn't see anything right?
ooooh mannnn! how will you find a new job now!?
I feel like I have been watching a movie all this while :) it's so interesting
How did you drop off a FedEX pre metered label into a USPS drop box and how did they ship it... what.. The envelopes used in the video should have gone in a Fedex express envelope..
the envelope\pak can be from anywhere all they care about is that it has a USPS label attached. however I ran that tracking number and its definitely a fedex racking number... so I too would like to know the answer to your question... how did a fedex labeled parcel manage to get shipped from a USPS drop box....?
Haven't you considered the possibility that this was staged? Don't get me wrong, either way it's a great video, but don't believe everything you see on TH-cam.

I am sure some of the footage was taken afterwards just so you could make this video.
If you really put a FedEx Express Shipping Label on a USPS Priority Envelope and then dropped them off at the Post Office then these would have never made it to the destination.
Anyways, keep it up! I hate all these scammers! The more that can be done to make their life harder and take time away from them scamming people the better!
