I'm so proud of Michael, he gathered the courage to go straight, even though the money from scamming can be very lucrative. I hope he does well in school and can help those in his community. I hope he's safe and doing well.
This dude definitely knew about you and targeted you to try and get some money. I kinda like it more when they’re random but it’s kinda hard when everyone knows about you now
That's what I was thinking. How do we know the first guy wasn't all the guys and just acting like multiple people. Sending a random picture of a house and person. He knows the names her knows what there pictures are so he knows to act defensive...... The whole chat with the "bigger scammer" seemed too open, almost setting up being sent the house photo by saying you're not in Nigeria. I think this was a special scam just for Ben
You know these emotional scammers who switch modes are the best scammers of all. They weaponize your decency and empathy. It's nice you show them other ways of making money.
I have a feeling that Michael, Tunde, Segan and Mrs Pennie are all the same person. With all your videos helping scammers who came clean, I wouldn't be surprised if some of them purposefully try to bump into you. But either way, you're doing great work and helping a lot of people 👍
yes and the pictures are of some random room, dude and house. All these scammers seem to have a similar writing style. Also Michael wouldn't risk his life messing with "rich" nigerian scammers for a $100
Certain things do not add up to that what-if scenario. that Is showing photos - While anyone could get faces from let's say thispersondoesntexist. It would take great work to put the face into a candid photo that is suggested in the blurry images shown. And most scammers would not stop with $100 - they'd run the con till you'd never send them a cent again $100 would be the appetizer. Scammers of this nature are never happy with $100.
As heartwarming as all of this is, I'm worried for Michael's safety here. Because they're certain to go back and analyze the situation, and might realize that Michael was absent at the moment the whole thing blew open, but no one else was. I hope he's safe.
@E.T. Phone Home Penny Jarvis said " Someone might have snitched on me" and "you don't even know my house address" at the perfect times, like he knew Ben had a picture of him. Also, his "mom" he tributed to wasn't really his mom. Mr Ben contacted a woman that called her "Mom" assuming that she was micheal's sister. She said she didn't have a sister named Micheal, showing that the tribute he made was fake, and his "Mother" is alive. Micheal also had an app called DualSpace, which allows you to clone apps, so he was on the "micheal" and "tom" account on 1 device showing that "Micheal" and "Tom" were the same person.

That Michael guy was a genius! Not only did he come clean about trying to scam you, but he took even more steps by pretending to be everyone else that you were supposedly messaging with and he still made money off you! Come on man! I really thought you were better than this! 🤣
Michael is obviously all three guys. The only thing you got wrong is : Ben is not stupid, he also knows that he's talking to the same person. I think at this point he just doesn't care, he's not into busting scammers but more into helping people. And he's okay about helping someone out as far as he gets enough content to make a youtube video. That's not only clever but also kind hearted. This is what makes this channel special.
It's so nice to see a scammer being forced to do his job, and then after trying, even though not wanting to scam someone, quits his job on the spot. And he even helps Pleasant Green with making the other true scammers spooked. You are a good guy, Michael. I hope you have a good life.
Thing is scammers tend to give up easily. Why waste your effort on someone who fights you at every step and probably is on to you, when you can get someone who does what you need with few, if any, questions? Plus, if they were willing to send you some more once, you might be able to double dip.

Assuming that the "boss man" wasn't actually a fall back scam and that "boss" was just some random dude on Facebook where as the original scammer was the only scammer and he pretended to help rat on someone where in reality he just took photos from facebook like creating the fake accounts, and then took a picture of a random house a few blocks away from his day job. There is a real possibility that this "rat" actually just played the scambater doing a scam that he knew he could get at least some money out of because some money is better then no money. Things played out way too... shall we say smoothly to not be suspicious of a veteran scammer who has learned how to scam the scambaiters.
It's true, but his story is possible too. Nigerians, like other countries are extremely poor and ppl must do anything to get $$, scling is a relatively easy way, but some ppl have ethics, and don't like doing bad for ppl, even for they survival
@@DatBoi_TheGudBIAS Michael reasons for scamming was he needed money to go to med school and just with the 100$ of Ben, he said he left the scamming house and is going back to Med school ? Lol, med school cost way more than 100$, even in Nigeria
Michael, if you read this: I am proud of your decision to leave scamming! A lot of good things to you! And to you "Pleasant Green": you are great! You chose to help and not to look away
You could have said that your daughter was kidnapped and told him "If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you" and I bet that he would have just said "Are you prepared for Walmart" 🤣
But he should at least use his common sense and not scam it's dishonest. He should intend to earn money the right way.but yh it's good he decided to stop. If I were him I wouldn't be friends with those people and tell them to piss off and not do this.
I think next time you shouldn't ask the guy to leave there, him leaving will later make them think he's the one and those guys are damn brutal, lots are also cultist which might put the guy life in danger
They were all the same guy anyway. How do you think he knew Ben hadn't reached out the "other" scammers yet? That scammer was pretty slick tbh. I'm kind of surprised Ben fell for that!!
What if this was all Micheal running a super elaborate scam and he is actually all three people since he knew you weren't falling for the first scam lol.
@@worldtrendtv01 worse, he's teaching scammers their new tricks pay!!! I noticed ben glossed over the "ask" by michael for $100 AFTER he "came clean" & claimed to longer be scamming. Why pay the guy at all?
Even if that is the case it was worth $100 alone for the entertainment and the video that stemmed from it. PG easily made the money back by making a video on it.
My guess is they are a group of scammers, and as someone already said, they targeted you knowing who you are. I imagine that the guy that actually managed to scam you on this one is now the OG of that scammer gang. If this was a video game, scamming you was the big final boss fight. haha
Kinda fun video here Ben. Just hope Michael is actually safe and that wasn't his real name. Course when Tunde can't find Michael, who isn't around anymore...seems suspicious...and I'm not a scammer. And if Segun was scamming Tunde...wouldn't he have run away? Things that make you go hmmm..... You're right about those passwords....definitely get a secure password manager and never use the same password for other things online.
@@journeyoflovelight note: U must actually put it on notepad cuz u won't have anything to tell u ur password otherwise Edit: but in a paper note it's better, so it can't be hacked
Yeah, this guy very obviously played you big time. He knew exactly who you were from the moment he messaged you. This was his plan from the very start and Tunde and Segun were probably both him too.
Yeah I think for legitimacy purposes Pleasant green needs to stop focusing on scams that come to his public accounts. He needs to set up fake accounts so that he only gets scammers who are indiscriminately targeting him
I think you got scammed though. He obviously targeted you because he knew he would get money if he gave you the same excuse every other scammer does that you pay for simple tasks. Who’s to say Michael wasn’t all three guys playing you?
Congratulations Michael. It takes real courage to admit when you’ve done something wrong, especially when you’re in a desperate situation. Ben, this video warms my heart. I can tell that Michael is a good person who was in a bad situation. Good for you for your honesty and I hope you succeed at becoming a doctor. I can’t think of a better way of paying it forward than healing the sick.
Plot twist: Michael faked being both Segun and Tunde and scammed Green of 100 bucks with a tearjerking story, some random pics of a random nigerian guy and a random pic of an house.
@@PleasantGreen I got scam in facebook market, but not AD, can you make a video about it? (I got scam about 1000USD) I am only 14 :( That is almost all of my saving. :(
Best scammer video ever, with everything produced by Julie at BBB Wisconsin a close second. Too many scambaiting videos are just self-indulgent. This one actually helped. And was still pretty funny. Great work.
I am just worried about "Segun is finished"... Hope he/she isn't harmed either. I know they are doing something terrible, but just hope they're fine. Everyone has some good in them.
Just my opinion, but I wouldn't worry about anyone's safety, I have the feeling Ben just got scammed and either all 3 of them were involved in it or it's 1 guy playing 3 people.
Possibly, but if they take this opportunity, they only have one shot of this. It's not like them to waste several hours and weeks even not knowing if they could get away with this or not. However, if they knew they could get away with $100, there's a big possibility, regardless of one or more persons involved.
@@ianpaulogonzaga4308 They knew their cover was already blown... A stupid scammer insists on not being a scammer, a smarter scammer tries to get your money with pity.
@@Mobin92 True. Although by the looks of things, I still believe in Ben and the good he does. It still lifts my spirit. However, it's difficult to reconcile how scam-baiters could also be scammed. Still it is a possibility, and a sad reality.
Scammer aren’t allowed to expose themselves like that which is why it’s hard to believe that this is a smarter type of scam when they aren’t supposed to reveal themselves like that knowing that death and torture is the what happens to those who get caught or exposed!!!
Ngl, I almost bursted out laughing when he said "I struggle to put on clothes." I just see an image of someone trying to put on a shirt and struggling, not being able to figure it out. 🤣
Have you figured out, yet, that there are many conditions that make it a struggle to put on clothes? From spinal injuries, to broken limbs, arthritis, degenerative neurological conditions, pulled muscles, slipped discs, scoliosis, medical conditions where one of the symptoms is chronic fatigue, including depression, and co-ordination disorders, such as dyspraxia, to cerebral palsy, etc. etc. Sure, there can be funny times ridiculously wrestling with clothing, but it is also very frustrating, and often painful. It's millions of people's daily reality. Not mine though. I can't even get out of my clothes. It's been months. Too sick and not enough home support. I don't recommend it.
@@daniellamcgee4251 That's not really something you figure out... I would definitely have a hard time not busting out laughing if someone said something as ridiculous as not being able to put on clothes due to depression though.
I love this video. I want to see more like this when scammers think they've been sneaked up by other scammers. That's one way to shut it down, man I love it.
I like these types of videos. Ben always finds the good in scammers. He "abuses" it and turns it for good. If they are honest, he rewards them for their needs, if they lie, he pulls a 10k iq prank and it gets me every time!
I’ve seen comments saying Micheal was playing all 3 people, and tbh as much as I want to think otherwise, I don’t think it’s that far fetched. But if I’m wrong Micheal I hope you’re safe out there buddy
Yeah I think he stretched it a bit here with that guys safety. It would be so easy for them to figure out who that is if any of them ever saw this video.
Yo you're the MVP of all scambaiting. I watch Pierogi, Kitboga, Rinoa, and Jim Browning and YOU sir, have definitely upped the ante. Proud new follower.
Idk, the cynic in me thinks scammers did their homework on pleasant green by watching his youtube and bait him with these sad stories just to profit off him 🤷♀️
This is exactly what happened. Scammers are starting to do this now; the good ones anyway. HE EVEB ASKED FOR $100 IN THE THREAD AFTER HE "CAME CLEAN." Ben just taught scammers that this "new" tactic works!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Exactly what I was thinking of. He straight away told that he is scamming him and then came the sad story asking for money. Ben got scammed or maybe We got scammed because Ben got a sponsored video out of it.
Am I the only one who feels like ben just got scammed and that it was the same guy who did everthing? He probably watches his videos and knows how to approach him
I don't know if was the same guy or not, but 1 scammer or 3, I'm guessing they're coming up with backup plans like this for when they get called out as a scammer.
@@floyd2386 Also nigerian scammers dont live togheter in a big house lol, this is not a Dota or Lol gaming house, they all work from internet caffe, because it's the only place where they can find reliable and fast internet. Michael knew who Pleasent green was and he knee and came up with a plan to snatch a 100 bucks from him by doing a good "deed" like he saw other scammers do in Ben's youtube videos.
This is just a common "plan B" scam, after the victim realizes that it's a scammer. Ben just gave him some easy story to get scammed by. Otherwise they just guilt you more and more, i.e. needing the money to escape from there otherwise the will be killed or whatever.
Trust me Mr Pleasant Green, they finally played you. Hopefully though, they'll remember your noble intentions and quit eventually. No matter what, don't send money to someone who tried to scam you. They strike when you're most vulnerable (due to fables that they cook up) Good job all the same. And all the best
Even if this was a scam then that person earned their pay. It’s a pretty big gamble to try and scam money outta someone who tries to catch scammers. It’s really a victimless crime because mr Pleasant Green got a good video for his channel out of it regardless.
You know I watched this channel because I enjoy busting scammers and scam rings, and even when others do it. But it's also a good reminder of how desperate some are behind the scenes. Granted most are just dbags, but sometimes there's that chance it's some desperate schmuck gooned in to it out of desperation. That's our chance at scambaiters to make a difference, one of the ultimate goals of scambaiting. Life is so much better when your not stealing from others!
Good Job Micheal... sometimes you gotta trust the process even if it involves a stranger. All it takes is talking to the right person, or making the right move to change your life.
Micheal I hope wherever you are I hope your living a good life and I’m glad your no longer scamming but I hope you can use your smarts to have a brilliant high paying job. enjoy your life k
Dude🤣 my husband loves to mess with scammers- but they usually just end up cussing him out in the end.. you take it to a whole new level! An old friend from high school hit me up on face book lastnight asking me for my cash app hashtag for blessing- I looked it up and found you- I’ve been sharing your videos ever since! Pretty amazing guy- thank you!
Stick it out Michael, You seem like a smart kid, use your smarts for good rather than nonsense, but know this! we all can learn from you young man! Proud of you
This is so funny it’s going in one big circle. So scammers are trying to bump into Ben then trying to scam them so Ben makes a video then the scammer acts all sad and says he can snich on his friends but he is the other people then Ben sends them money.scammers are getting smarter also did you see how much he was asking Ben for money.

Assuming that the "boss man" wasn't actually a fall back scam and that "boss" was just some random dude on Facebook where as the original scammer was the only scammer and he pretended to help rat on someone where in reality he just took photos from facebook like creating the fake accounts, and then took a picture of a random house a few blocks away from his day job. There is a real possibility that this "rat" actually just played the scambater doing a scam that he knew he could get at least some money out of because some money is better then no money. Things played out way too... shall we say smoothly to not be suspicious of a veteran scammer who has learned how to scam the scambaiters.
allez les verts!
@@hockeyhacker97 - What the?
Michael was honest, we need more honest people in this world. Good luck for him!
I'll never ever believe what a scammer has to say... I think they all lie and this guy could've been all three guys.
It's true, but his story is possible too.
Nigerians, like other countries are extremely poor and ppl must do anything to get $$, scling is a relatively easy way, but some ppl have ethics, and don't like doing bad for ppl, even for they survival

@@hakimben8472 He not once mentioned medschool. Hes in highschool in nigeria and $100 sounds about right for a semester

But he should at least use his common sense and not scam it's dishonest. He should intend to earn money the right way.but yh it's good he decided to stop. If I were him I wouldn't be friends with those people and tell them to piss off and not do this.
@@Reflecterr Until he isn't anymore.
@@char9280 did you watch the follow up video?
I think next time you shouldn't ask the guy to leave there, him leaving will later make them think he's the one and those guys are damn brutal, lots are also cultist which might put the guy life in danger
That’s what I was thinking
I really hope pleasant green thought this through because if not they will know who it is within 5 mins of watching
They were all the same guy anyway. How do you think he knew Ben hadn't reached out the "other" scammers yet? That scammer was pretty slick tbh. I'm kind of surprised Ben fell for that!!
They have to find him now tho he could be miles away
It's all part of the scam lol
This made my day and I’m happy that you turned this man’s life around
What if this was all Micheal running a super elaborate scam and he is actually all three people since he knew you weren't falling for the first scam lol.
YEP, EXACTLYY
You got the point. He has been scammed and he doesn't know 😂
@@worldtrendtv01 worse, he's teaching scammers their new tricks pay!!!
I noticed ben glossed over the "ask" by michael for $100 AFTER he "came clean" & claimed to longer be scamming. Why pay the guy at all?
It actually is and this guy's will do and saying anything for a few dollars Ben has been scammed again
@@Vixen522 the Internet FBI has been scammed because of his good heart. 😂 Even the smartest can still fall a victim.
Michael, you did a good thing. I'm happy for you. I wish you nothing but the best.
And then it turns out Michael, Tunde, Segun are all the same person 😂
I’m sure that Michael was everyone.
Also, Michael is every body
🤣
I can't believe he fell for it lmao
What great story. I hope Michael is legit and really did appreciate what you did.
Plot twist: Michael is Tunde & Segun. & that’s not their house 😭😭😭😂🙏🏽
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Likely.
Even if that is the case it was worth $100 alone for the entertainment and the video that stemmed from it. PG easily made the money back by making a video on it.
😂😂😂😂😂
Plot twist of the plot twist: Pleasant green is actually all of them & it's all fake.
My guess is they are a group of scammers, and as someone already said, they targeted you knowing who you are. I imagine that the guy that actually managed to scam you on this one is now the OG of that scammer gang. If this was a video game, scamming you was the big final boss fight. haha

Kinda fun video here Ben. Just hope Michael is actually safe and that wasn't his real name. Course when Tunde can't find Michael, who isn't around anymore...seems suspicious...and I'm not a scammer. And if Segun was scamming Tunde...wouldn't he have run away? Things that make you go hmmm.....
You're right about those passwords....definitely get a secure password manager and never use the same password for other things online.
Im worried about his safety also. These people do terrible thing to others if found.
I hope michael, segun and tunde are all not in on this? Just to make free money and continue scamming

Gullible
Why do i have a feeling Micheal was still scamming him...
100%
i dont like this feeling at all
he needs to reverse google search "michael's mom"
:)))) exactly
Yeah, this guy very obviously played you big time. He knew exactly who you were from the moment he messaged you. This was his plan from the very start and Tunde and Segun were probably both him too.
Wdym
Big facts
Thats exactly what I was thinking
Yeah I think for legitimacy purposes Pleasant green needs to stop focusing on scams that come to his public accounts. He needs to set up fake accounts so that he only gets scammers who are indiscriminately targeting him
So Michael knew that mr green was going to ask for both guys names, a Facebook of a guy named Tunde and a picture of their house?
I think you got scammed though. He obviously targeted you because he knew he would get money if he gave you the same excuse every other scammer does that you pay for simple tasks. Who’s to say Michael wasn’t all three guys playing you?
well i guess 'still makes a good video so worth 100$'?
Better 100 than 10,000. Who knows he might be but Micheal could have asked for more money.
@@izzyortiz503 Asking for more money probably would've been too suspicious.
Congratulations Michael. It takes real courage to admit when you’ve done something wrong, especially when you’re in a desperate situation. Ben, this video warms my heart. I can tell that Michael is a good person who was in a bad situation. Good for you for your honesty and I hope you succeed at becoming a doctor. I can’t think of a better way of paying it forward than healing the sick.
It’s a scam
why would the boss randomly say “you don’t even have my address”. think it could be all michael
Wasn’t random. The federal agents were on their way!
Plot twist: Michael faked being both Segun and Tunde and scammed Green of 100 bucks with a tearjerking story, some random pics of a random nigerian guy and a random pic of an house.
Exactly 😂😂
I don't think it matters if Segun and Tunde were real or not, I mean they could be in on it too. I do think Ben got scammed though.
100%
OR: Green scammed us all for views with a completely made up story 😂
I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes their new back up plan. Guilt trip you into submission.
My thoughts exactly 🤣
You are my hero, you and Michael both! Kudos to him because it took much courage to take the risk that he did to help you. Nice work, both of you!!!
“You know what’s even more fun, doing something nice for someone.” Said the guy that may have just got Segune murdered.
Yeah that can be true
im cry-laughing lmfaooo
lol
Poetic, man.
Thats what I was thinking lol
You could say Michael shows the good in scammers and that they need to do it to survive. I honestly feel bad for those scammers who do it to survive.
I love how he said, “Look for the good in people“ and yet he was scammed by this guy and we are all accusing him 🤣

@@PleasantGreen Hello, Pleasant Green.
@@PleasantGreen
I got scam in facebook market, but not AD, can you make a video about it? (I got scam about 1000USD) I am only 14 :( That is almost all of my saving. :(
Ben: " You thought you've outplayed me but I've outplayed your outplaying! "
Best scammer video ever, with everything produced by Julie at BBB Wisconsin a close second.
Too many scambaiting videos are just self-indulgent. This one actually helped. And was still pretty funny. Great work.
Well done Michael & Ben, scamming is not the answer. Go well all
They knew all these events would turn out this way and they actually scammed you for $100. Next lvl scamming
I am just worried about "Segun is finished"... Hope he/she isn't harmed either. I know they are doing something terrible, but just hope they're fine. Everyone has some good in them.
I'm sure "Michael" will eventually meet his fate once this video makes its way to Tunde.
@@fzigunov Yeesh that's dark
@@WalkmanYT Do you disagree, though?
@@fzigunov Depends on how dedicated he is to catch Michael. Seems like a waist of time, but they will definitely figure out he is involved
Just my opinion, but I wouldn't worry about anyone's safety, I have the feeling Ben just got scammed and either all 3 of them were involved in it or it's 1 guy playing 3 people.
this is the wholesomest thing i've seen for ages, huge props, i hope michael can prosper in life
I think Michael is gone by now..
Plot twist: this whole thing was a scam, damn they are getting good!
Possibly, but if they take this opportunity, they only have one shot of this. It's not like them to waste several hours and weeks even not knowing if they could get away with this or not. However, if they knew they could get away with $100, there's a big possibility, regardless of one or more persons involved.
@@ianpaulogonzaga4308 They knew their cover was already blown... A stupid scammer insists on not being a scammer, a smarter scammer tries to get your money with pity.
@@Mobin92 True. Although by the looks of things, I still believe in Ben and the good he does. It still lifts my spirit. However, it's difficult to reconcile how scam-baiters could also be scammed. Still it is a possibility, and a sad reality.
So he's was a scammer of scammer of a scammer
Scammer aren’t allowed to expose themselves like that which is why it’s hard to believe that this is a smarter type of scam when they aren’t supposed to reveal themselves like that knowing that death and torture is the what happens to those who get caught or exposed!!!
What If this was his plan from the start??!!!??!! He was straight up playing underwater 4d chess with you and won :0
pleasent green is dead
Ngl, I almost bursted out laughing when he said "I struggle to put on clothes." I just see an image of someone trying to put on a shirt and struggling, not being able to figure it out. 🤣
What's so funny huh?! I struggle to put on clothes sometimes! Its not always easy okay!
@@starsapphire2013 I can't take you seriously with that! 🤣🤣🤣
@@lonejohnwolf broke my leg and I couldn’t shower or change for weeks. Shit happens man
Have you figured out, yet, that there are many conditions that make it a struggle to put on clothes? From spinal injuries, to broken limbs, arthritis, degenerative neurological conditions, pulled muscles, slipped discs, scoliosis, medical conditions where one of the symptoms is chronic fatigue, including depression, and co-ordination disorders, such as dyspraxia, to cerebral palsy, etc. etc. Sure, there can be funny times ridiculously wrestling with clothing, but it is also very frustrating, and often painful. It's millions of people's daily reality. Not mine though. I can't even get out of my clothes. It's been months. Too sick and not enough home support. I don't recommend it.
@@daniellamcgee4251 That's not really something you figure out... I would definitely have a hard time not busting out laughing if someone said something as ridiculous as not being able to put on clothes due to depression though.
The fact that he gave up and sympathized with you is heartwarming to me
I love this video. I want to see more like this when scammers think they've been sneaked up by other scammers. That's one way to shut it down, man I love it.
I like these types of videos. Ben always finds the good in scammers. He "abuses" it and turns it for good. If they are honest, he rewards them for their needs, if they lie, he pulls a 10k iq prank and it gets me every time!
I have a feeling these scammers made this whole story up, to get the $100 🤣🤣
Me too, lol
Definitely
It seems legit too, I can't tell if it's part of the scam or if the scammer is actually being honest
That would be the ultimate scam. I would be impressed.
that’s amazing, i’m so glad to see someone change.
I’ve seen comments saying Micheal was playing all 3 people, and tbh as much as I want to think otherwise, I don’t think it’s that far fetched. But if I’m wrong Micheal I hope you’re safe out there buddy
I'm hoping not but waiting for the next video.

Yo you're the MVP of all scambaiting. I watch Pierogi, Kitboga, Rinoa, and Jim Browning and YOU sir, have definitely upped the ante. Proud new follower.
Idk, the cynic in me thinks scammers did their homework on pleasant green by watching his youtube and bait him with these sad stories just to profit off him 🤷♀️
Ikr scammers have evolved too. It is possible.
I think of that too
This is exactly what happened. Scammers are starting to do this now; the good ones anyway. HE EVEB ASKED FOR $100 IN THE THREAD AFTER HE "CAME CLEAN." Ben just taught scammers that this "new" tactic works!! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Exactly what I was thinking of. He straight away told that he is scamming him and then came the sad story asking for money. Ben got scammed or maybe We got scammed because Ben got a sponsored video out of it.
Michal Actually Seems like a reasonable Person. Props To him
This channel bro. Imagine what Ben could do with enough resources.
Micheal you did a good thing by helping people. You’ve definitely made a difference.
Am I the only one who feels like ben just got scammed and that it was the same guy who did everthing? He probably watches his videos and knows how to approach him
I don't know if was the same guy or not, but 1 scammer or 3, I'm guessing they're coming up with backup plans like this for when they get called out as a scammer.
@@floyd2386 Also nigerian scammers dont live togheter in a big house lol, this is not a Dota or Lol gaming house, they all work from internet caffe, because it's the only place where they can find reliable and fast internet. Michael knew who Pleasent green was and he knee and came up with a plan to snatch a 100 bucks from him by doing a good "deed" like he saw other scammers do in Ben's youtube videos.
This is just a common "plan B" scam, after the victim realizes that it's a scammer. Ben just gave him some easy story to get scammed by. Otherwise they just guilt you more and more, i.e. needing the money to escape from there otherwise the will be killed or whatever.
“Mom was the most absolute woman who ever lived” this is extremely funny. Like he said so much yet said nothing. AHAHAHAHAH
She was the most that ever lived
Trust me Mr Pleasant Green, they finally played you. Hopefully though, they'll remember your noble intentions and quit eventually.
No matter what, don't send money to someone who tried to scam you. They strike when you're most vulnerable (due to fables that they cook up)
Good job all the same. And all the best
Even if this was a scam then that person earned their pay. It’s a pretty big gamble to try and scam money outta someone who tries to catch scammers. It’s really a victimless crime because mr Pleasant Green got a good video for his channel out of it regardless.
@@TrevorH89 yeah he definitely earned the money back
I feel the same way...all the warm wishes for "Michael" in the comments, and its very sweet, but he def. Got scammed.
You know I watched this channel because I enjoy busting scammers and scam rings, and even when others do it. But it's also a good reminder of how desperate some are behind the scenes. Granted most are just dbags, but sometimes there's that chance it's some desperate schmuck gooned in to it out of desperation. That's our chance at scambaiters to make a difference, one of the ultimate goals of scambaiting. Life is so much better when your not stealing from others!
Good Job Micheal... sometimes you gotta trust the process even if it involves a stranger. All it takes is talking to the right person, or making the right move to change your life.
Micheal I hope wherever you are I hope your living a good life and I’m glad your no longer scamming but I hope you can use your smarts to have a brilliant high paying job. enjoy your life k
Boy wouldn’t it be crazy if this was all part of the scam? Like, they’ve scammed so many people that scamming scammers is meta they’ve prepared for?
Thats scary
Dude🤣 my husband loves to mess with scammers- but they usually just end up cussing him out in the end.. you take it to a whole new level! An old friend from high school hit me up on face book lastnight asking me for my cash app hashtag for blessing- I looked it up and found you- I’ve been sharing your videos ever since! Pretty amazing guy- thank you!
Meanwhile Segun probably got necklaced.

Stick it out Michael, You seem like a smart kid, use your smarts for good rather than nonsense, but know this! we all can learn from you young man! Proud of you
This is so funny it’s going in one big circle. So scammers are trying to bump into Ben then trying to scam them so Ben makes a video then the scammer acts all sad and says he can snich on his friends but he is the other people then Ben sends them money.scammers are getting smarter also did you see how much he was asking Ben for money.
so true
We are very proud of you, Michael!
Smile and be safe. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏻
Send him a hundred dollars each
Nice job Michael. I couldn't even imagine what the boss was thinking when he saw his own picture.
