"I committed fraud, but my employer was real strict..." WTH??
Arkansas Greg and this is why car salesmen get bad rap
Totally unethical
Lol right? What about the person buying a car?
"I mean you leave a toilet seat up and get fired" totally not my fault I got canned for lying to customers about the shoddy car, I mean they love me!! =_= This guy has zero empathy and inflated sense of self, likely NPD or psychopathy.
@@jessicaolson490 💯👍👌👏
He'll do it again. He refuses to take responsibility for it.
Basically he scammed buyers. Horrible
He only scammed one guy from what I saw here
Wells Fargo would love to hire him then!
Erik Merales anyone that gets caught scamming didn't get caught on their first scam. That is a rule of life.
If he scammed one odds are he scammed many. This was just the first time he got caught.
@@OatPancake right, one guy, but it was his first 3 months so how many would it be in a few years?
Once you lose your integrity or credibility its a long road coming back.
never had it, was dealing cards for a while, this guy never had a real job
Yes ma’am, you’re right. 🤠
It was obvious he was a car salesman. He dodged questions naturally.
Lol, he really was.
Should be a politician
Uncanny! 😂
I knew a girl who worked at JoAnns fabrics and she always cut corners.
@Jeff Cokenour HAHA 😆 I see what you did there.
So she just went around in circles
🤣🤣🤣
He's blaming the job for being strict, but he left out the car facts. The car could have had multiple accidents or flooded, do you know how much that could cost a person.
Michelle F LOL
Michelle F if the car didn't have problems, he would have shown him the car fax.
Yup, incorrect car facts are as bad no car facts.
this is why people don't trust car salesmen
I'm not American.. what are car facts?
Congratulations, you played yourself.
lol
This is an epic comeback!!!
😂
"They're really strict with everything." You mean things like following rules and laws? No sympathy here. Just another skeezy car salesman. Also, they wouldn't drop you for leaving up a toilet seat, stop being unnecessarily hyperbolic and blaming the company for getting caught.
💯👍👌👏 agree, sounds like he was fired over his dealing's but was using other situations as the reason.
Im sure this wasn't his first cutting corner move at Mercedes...he just finally got caught!
yeap
agree, 💯👍👌👏
I love how they bluntly called him out on his bull but recognized his gift and potential. Perceptive guys with good hearts on there.
Yes. That's love right there.
💯👍👌👏
100% agree. They did.
Mercedes Benz are a high profile prestige brand selling to a lot of wealthy and powerful people. As such they do NOT tolerate effectively scamming buyers, which is what this guy was apparently doing.
definition of a dirty car salesman. It's not even cutting corners, it's being dishonest to climb the corporate ladder.
I drive a forklift. Ask what could happen if I cut corners.
ClawFalcon I meant in terms of safety procedures and what not. Could damage property or even kill someone. Mainly I'm just trying to collaborate Ramsey's point to that young man.
spirals 73 or of people more importantly
There are countless videos of forklift blunders..
Jimmy Strudel you could kill someone.
Depends if your boss is strict LoL
He said he only had the job for 3 months....he never made 100k
michiganre he was probably calculating what it would have been yearly, although I do know someone who make 300-400k a year in equipment sales, so it's possible
michiganre listen to the video genius, he says he hasn't earned 100K but he has the potential
His name is Tony Swedberg and he has been selling cars for years at all kinds of dealerships before he was at Mercedes. He has a TH-cam channel
@@Jake-be9ji how do you know it's the same guy?
Gruuvin1 he made a reaction video to this video
He worked there for 90 days and got canned. Let me guess, the car he's leasing is a Mercedes, the 100k is based on the last few paychecks he received as opposed to his last year's tax return, and most of his customers have no idea they were getting lied to yet. Professional Poker player LOL He's a professional BS artist.
CarolAnn0308 and the 90 days before were during summer and “hot” months so he will definitely not average out what he made the last 3 months.
CarolAnn0308 💯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He’s a $30,000 millionaire. Living beyond his means. clearly he probably is leasing a Mercedes to impress others.
This guy is dishonest and has no integrity.
He, and most of us, are the product of an education system that promotes intelligence above Integrity. Had he been taught the value of Integrity in business as a child/teen in the education system, then he probably wouldn't have made such a huge mistake at age 25. Academically, it's much more valuable that he pass some B.S. standardized test or be able to recall which side won some random battle in the War of 1812 and random other facts that probably won't help him succeed in a career.
I agree partially with your statement. Honesty and integrity are also taught in the home and are a personal choice we make daily. We have to take responsibility for our actions and quit playing the blame game. Our educational system may not be the best, but I know plenty of honest people that are not all about the money, they have integrity and went through the same educational system.
Which is why he was a car sales man! lol
Hopefully Tony will take this experience, learn from it, and have some humility and humbleness in this situation. None of us are perfect, and we all have made mistakes at one point or another.
Bingo! I wouldn't trust him to work the cashier at McDonald's. Probably would skim from the top every night and blame it on random error. By the end of the month, probably give himself another paycheck from the skimming.
"I'm 24 going on 25." That made me laugh
24 & 1/2 😉
Did you hear the Sound of Music playing too? 😁
Sounds like a BS call...says he made 6 figures, only worked there for 3 months, no debt and has 15k for a rainy day. So why did you call again? It sounds like he wanted to justify his unprofessional behavior on the phone because they kicked him out for being a scamming liar. They ask him about debt twice, he repeats the question, pauses and then says I have none? Yea he's a salesman alright, just keeps running his mouth.
Not sure what's wrong with salesman. I work sales. I used to work car sales. I have the highest integrity almost to a fault. I will tell the truth even if it costs me the deal. My customers appreciate that and choose to do business with me. When I make a sale, it means work for the techs and engineers. I hate when people trash sales because there are people like this kid put there. Trust me 99% of people in sales are honest hard working people. The world requires sales, probably your job as well.
@@ZLT_90 I don't need a salesman to purchase a car, you're basically a middleman. With the internet, I can do all the research I need on a vehicle. There was a time when we had salesmen for everything, buying refrigerators, stereos, beds etc. But on modern times, I just need to pick up what i want to purchase and checkout, I don't need to waste time bantering with a salesperson just to add cost (your salary) to what I'm buying.
He called to make a TH-cam video about getting “exposed by Dave Ramsey”. He’s selling a sales course
jeff jackson ur an idiot lol
@@luckymetigaming why is he an idiot? I’m curious, what he said that wasn’t true?
This kid is 24 and dishonest. I'm doubtful he will change. He has no gift. He's a thug and a thief.
That's the world we live in
Some people can change if placed in the right supporting environment.
Wow. I'm surprised the dealership fired him for this instead of promoting him. Nice to see some dealerships have integrity still. Cant find that at a used car place...
oh wow...
I’m not positive this young man will be great at sales. He might have done so well so quickly as he doesn’t mind lying. I’m not convinced this is the first time he did something shady. He simply got caught this time.
I like how they didn't sugar code the response and just call it what it is. Well done!
I follow the sugar code
You can not build your happiness or success, scamming, cheating, abusing others. It's called Karma
Not sure what the sugar code is, but since you like what they said I won't sugar coat this - there is no code, it's supposed to be sugar coat.
Worked for 3 months..he never made six figures...guys a liar. Also cutting corners 3 months into job..might want to go into other field.
Cutting Corners is Putting a cheaper AC in the final sales of the car, this dude fall out lied or avoided the truth.
JAB of LEGENDS 😂
*carfax
Whoa this dude is shady
Dave has the ability to see through the BS. This guy was purposely leaving out the Car Facts, and he compared it to "leaving up the car seat." I love how Dave caught that and dug into his chest about it. He was hustling his customers but he didn't see that way.
Until he's honest with himself, he will continually keep this cycle going wherever he works.
💯👍👌👏
Honesty is a character trait that has to begin with self.
Greatest thing that ever happened to me was getting fired at 18. I was in the same situation, and I'm glad it happened then instead of farther down in my career
Cheating people or withholding information is never a wise business tactic. GET HONEST! Get honest with yourself first! I'm a Printer, I print more so our customers are never cheated. I couldn't live with myself if my prints are subpar or short. We always package in bales so our customers know they got their count. I worked for other Printshop's who wanted me to short the customer, but I never did, not on my honor, not on my watch! I will not risk my values. Fire me, I don't care, I will not be moved. I have an higher authority to answer to, and it's not to any boss on Earth.
Good for you! The Lord says that if you are faithful in small things he will give you greater things to be responsible for. That's why you got a better job and with more responsibility. People think that God is so busy or so big that we haven't his attention, nothing can be further from the Truth.
Not a nice person at all, a flat out scam artist and he will never change.
Dave said he made the same kind of mistakes when he was this guy's age. Dave obviously changed.
Anybody can change.
People can change and sometimes do after a traumatic experience.
The real problem is the pressure Car Dealerships put on salesmen and women to exceed their quotas. Most dealerships don’t care what you do or say as long as you make the sale.
He got caught up thinking about the money he could make without earning a college degree! They (Experienced Salespeople & Dealership Owners) make it sound real possible.
Do what Dave said “Don’t cut corners” in life.
Be true to yourself first and always be true and compassionate towards others.
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking.
You’ll have peace of mind and Karma won’t come after you.
Get rid of that lying spirit.
All the best to you.
He is a scammer but he may change. If you can predict the future, you can make lots and lots of money!
Nothing is absolute.
Always asks for a car fax! I have walked away from a car I really wanted because of bad car fax. I had one dealership tell me they don't pull car fax reports and i told them to have a good day. (They told me to pull it myself)
Rosalynn Weaver Yeah but not all insurance companies report to carfax...so its not going to catch everything.
It's available online for most of car dealership
And make sure you do your own check, I went to a CarMax that gave me an outdated car fax. It stopped short right before an accident the car was in. If I didn't do my own check, I wouldn't have known and would have bought that car.
CarFax's don't always report the truth. Many rental companies are self-insured and do their own repairs in-house which never get reported to a CarFax. Never buy a vehicle that was a rental!
@@AStanton1966 Most vehicle for sale was a rental at some point
I LOVE Dave's honesty!
You had a 5 figure income.
Shame on you Tony! I like the reflection advice. You need to reassess your character. The lack of remorse would be a good place to start.
Dave's comment was on point. Tough love! Tony's poor choices cost him his job and he s/b glad they didn't have him arrested.
💯👍👌👏
Can’t arrest someone for that.
@@malvolio01It’s literally the definition of fraud and you absolutely can be arrested and charged for that.
Dave went out and said it how it is, hell yeah.
I sell cars and never cut corners. I go out of my way to let people know exactly what they are buying and we stand behind the cars we sell.
Robert Spencer this is the bussiness idea muhhmad the prophet of islam give 1400 years ago.
If u r seller then dont hide anything to buyer if you r hiding then its a sin
I know Dave is very diplomatic, but I'm shocked he didn't lay into him way harder...
MarineMike I think he is better when he is just giving non judgemental advice. He did acknowledge the kid was wrong and didn’t act with integrity and he told him what he needed to do
I got fired for committing fraud. My job is strict.
For a guy like this the customers do not "love him". They THINK they do, but they don't know him.
What’s a car facts report? I have no idea about car stuff. What fraud did he commit?
@@SummeRain783 A Carfax is a report on a car that is shown to a customer prior to purchase. It shows how many owners, any reported accidents, maintenance and recall records, essentially its anything to do with that particular car over its life cycle. Not showing someone a Carfax is usually a very clear sign something is wrong with the car and they are hiding it from the customer just so the salesman can sell the car, that is indeed fraud.
@@IHateNicolasCage ok yea glad they fired him. Thank you for explaining 🙂
He clearly don't listen. . . Maybe that's the problem
He sounds like he’s taking responsibility but in reality he’s minimizing his actions. It’s completely wrong what he did.
He sold lemons to hard working people and got fired. Good!!!!
Thank you Dave for keeping it real!! The other guy was tip toeing around the pink elephant....HE LIED TO SELL A CAR. He should be in jail.
"How are you"
"Doing good I just lost my job this morning"
😅
This call was hilarious 😂
A car Dealer with a leased car making 6 figures with 2 thousand a month in total bills with only 15000 saved up.... Wow
SupremeVision It was only in the middle of his third month. This seems pretty accurate. $100,000 / 12 x 2.5 = $20,833.33 - $5,000 = $15,833.33
"You reap what you sow" aren't just words.
Gotta love Dave's blatant honesty!
I worked with a guy like this before. Nothing is ever his fault, or his error. He bounced from job to job, and had major financial problems, but you know everyone is out to get him, according to him.
He sells cars. He can go ANYWHERE and sell cars. They are desperate for staff. Go to a volume seller if you are so good at bringing in customers.
DeathRowToDisneyWorld the ability to sell cars is not the issue. The issue is he was dishonest with a legal document.
I was a service advisor, & I had a service manager that used to be a car salesman for a long time. He was the best salesman I have ever met in my life. He always used to tell me "The truth always stays the same. The truth never changes. The truth will set you free". I still remember it to this day & I use that advice daily.
you can wing it when telling the truth, but you have to be very precise if you lie (and you have to remember all your lies).
This guy... 😐
He's a young guy. Nothing more needs to be said, has much much much to learn
Dave's waiting!!!!!!! and go!!!!!!!!!!
lol yeah he wants to go off on the guy it looks like
Blaming everybody except himself...Mercedes Benz isn’t the problem here ..just saying 🤷🏽♀️
How do you know you had a six figure sales job when you only worked there three months?
The size of the paycheck.
You deserve to get fired for cutting corners. I never cut corners and haven't made 6 figures yet. No sympathy. Learn from he recession of 2008. A job is a privilege not a right.
sophisticated Swanson you're an idiot. Shut up, you make no sense.
sophisticated Swanson maybe you don't make 6 figures because you don't know how to cut corners lmfao
Jello? Go call Bill Cosby.lol. This man makes twice amount as the average American and only saved $15K . So let's jus say he gives $10K to uncle same a year and $2K in life expenses that would be he spends $66K a year. So not only does he have a terrible spending problem but he has the nerve to cut corners. C'mon its 2017 everyone knows you need to have that Car fax report when you are selling or buying a car. I also blame the Lexus customers who weren't smart enough to ask for a carfax report. Money and intelligence are not the same thing.
sophisticated Swanson AMEN
sophisticated Swanson Spot on. I finished HS right in the center of the recession. I applied for over 30 something jobs and was completing with people that had 20+ years experience while I had none. Finally through a friend, I got a retail job and hung in 2 years for my job I went to school for. I cherish my job and will do whatever it takes to stay there.
I love how smart he thinks he is. Smarter than management, customers, college professors, and even Dave and Ken. Nice.
Integrity is hard to find nowadays. It is the key to repeat business, and personal peace of mind.
Great advice!
I love the encouragement they offer to a guy who was pretty much engaged in fraudulent activity; ‘be positive man, maybe your next job won’t notice ‘
Not being truthful is going to lead to a very hard life
Good story. If he learns from it, he'll be successful. All the best to him!
He lied and said he made 100k a year, and he wasn’t even working there half a year. 🙄
Great advice from Dave & Ken here. Young men and young ladies for that matter listen up! 👍
A poker player and used car salesman , wow
Maybe he has some kids he does not pay child support for. To round it off nicely.
Sociopath. No empathy and he probably doesnt even realize he’s lying.
Does the story by this snake sound at all reliable to you ?
I'm sure he was a successful professional poker player snd decided to ditch it to sell cars.
Thank you,
4:55 snakeoil Tony has left the chat.
“I was a scummy used car salesman and I got caught”
Not sure I feel sorry for you, like, at all!
The caller has a TH-cam channel under Tony Swedberg and he reacts to this video.
I needed this.
you're awesome, dave 🧡🧡
Integrity is everything. Former Correctional Sergeant here and I walked away from that job for this reason. Sorry I decided to save myself.
Very very good Dave
Dave is optimistically seeing a future for this man. However, you cannot teach honesty. I've seen children testify in court where the judge verifies that a child knows the difference between right and wrong.
I’ve been in car sales it’s not exactly an integrity driven industry
This dude is a straight up scammer. He basically told on himself with his responses.
I was hoping Dave would also tackle the "after the fact" issue. The guy mentioned he had some emergency money with a car lease plus rent and other stuff.
"My customers love me but I left out the car fax and left the toilet seat up"
This is a really tough call, they handled it very well!
Wow! I love how Dave just called out this snake.
This is Tony Swedburg. He has a TH-cam channel where he talks about how to sell cars... interesting
I think this was one of Dave's best interactions with a guest, and I'm not his biggest fan. It was the perfect amount outs tough love from an objective point of view. I hope this caller took it to heart.
right- so basically he hid the bad Carfax and there was a problem with the buyer after the purchase.
So because his attitude he is where he is 😔
I personally am glad he lost his job. We were scammed when we bought our car. It was priced okay.. but in 2 years put more money into it then it cost in the first place.
Well at least we know Mercedes takes care of their customers and fires scam artists working for them. The caller will just end up working at the local used car lot most likely. And he'll probably make a killing working there.
“I’m doin good, just lost my job this morning” 😂😂😂
This is relatable to my life. ....
Why did Mercedes have a car with a bad fax in their inventory??
That's the question!
It could be that dealership keeps some cars that aren’t too great for those who cant afford a nice one. Some people care more about being seen in one, than having a good car. And when someone wants to spend their money, someone will sell them something.
It was probably a trade in.. but the salesman should have presented the car fax the second.a customer was interested in the vehicle
A trade in - and car mechanics might be interested in getting them to repair them for themselves - and then to flip them.
Amen!
I was laid off unexpectedly and the number one lesson is to ALWAYS ALWAYS plan for the worst! I'm still working on this but I pared down my lifestyle. I became debt free, and now am saving up a ton of money for these exact situations. Firing completely justified. Change your ways and learn from this!
Alert And oriented same here my fired me due, refusing to come to work. I just had major surgery done, they wanted to come to work the next day. I was having dizzy and blackout spells. I even had a MLA, they care about that or my well being. Now I have bunch of high price medical bill sitting on my credit. I went from 600 to down 490 credit score. I didn't like what my did to me. I decided to start my own business , no more companies controlling my future.
We all make mistakes, but like both guys told you.. own it and get your integrity back.
Im glad to hear that about mercedes benz..good publicity for them
"I was committing fraud and I lost my job today"
I just got fired thursday. I spent too little effort perfecting everything because we didn´t have the time to check everything. The company made me an example, everything has to be perfect even though we had to spend 60 hrs if tht´s what it takes
Honesty is the best policy I’ve been a eBay seller forever mostly high end designer clothes any rip or stain I’ll take a photo of so the buyer knows what they’re. Getting never had a issue I’ve never surprised the buyer when they bought of me they got exactly what they paid for that’s why I got 100 percent rating ! He tried to hide the info in hopes of quick sale and instead lost the whole job !
I hate this so much. I've been lied to by a dealer before. This guy doesn't seem to understand how badly he messed up.
"I guess they could get sued or something." LOL typical Millenial. He committed fraud and is shocked he was fired.
Should never sell a car again. He will always have the temptation to lie to keep a sale if given the opportunity.
Didn't you hear Dave say that he made the same type of mistakes when he was 25?
Wow! Made six figures and did a very bad thing. That stings bad!!! But that was his fault. He could have done it by the book (which people should do) and would still be in a job.
It's an expensive lesson to learn. He has to learn from it.
Yes, it is (at least on the receiving end of the expensive lesson).
