      Thing is Americans are prosperous because American society is law abiding in general. Many Americans would not survive in a 3rd world country where they have to look out for themselves. The internet brings in a bit of the third world into America. Hope Americans understand they are prosperous because of the society they were born into and not because they are inherently smarter than 3rd world people. And be thankful. Imagine the folks who can get scammed by a 3rd worlder without a proper education , how badly off such Americans would be if they had the bad luck to be born in the third world and had to actually fend for themselves. And be grateful to the elite in the US who have built a society ruled by law instead of just grabbing all the money like the elites in the 3rd world do.

      @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.

      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.

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.

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.

Granted most are just dbags, but sometimes there's that chance it's some desperate schmuck gooned in to it out of desperation.

    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 🤣

    I wouldn't be surprised if this becomes their new back up plan. Guilt trip you into submission.

    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?

      Better 100 than 10,000. Who knows he might be but Micheal could have asked for more money.

    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.
