@smcdonald9991 as an IT security professional, what advice can you give someone who wants to start a career in cybersecurity in Canada? Having work experience as a network and system admin, worked on a couple of IT security projects for school, and really passionate about cybersecurity
@@floriannsabiyumva9621 Look at what skills people are looking for in your area. Most people are wanting CompTIA Security +, read up about compliance standards like ISO/IEC 18043, ISO 22301, and ISO 28000. Then just practice, practice practice. As a sys/network admin you should have some under your belt but ask your boss to see if you can be part of projects that help build your cyber security. I don't know when you did your school project, but a lot of the stuff you did will be out of date. Build a home lab,, I suggest to build a cloud network on AWS and a build a cloud network in Azure and then simulate attacks against each network and try and defend against those attacks. Use Kali Linux, and Windows clients, get your hands on as many different security systems as you can. Once you get in the industry then focus on the systems you need to do on your job. But still handy to keep those other skills handy. Lastly network, talk to recruitment companies, go to events, speak to industry experts, see if someone can mentor you. Cyber Secuirty is one of the hardest jobs to get into because there is only so many junior roles, but is also one if the most high demand jobs especially the further you go up the ladder. Wish you luck bud.
"Cameron" was definitely one of the most articulate and level-headed scammers I've seen in your videos. It's too bad he's using his skills for dishonest work. I wonder if he had stayed on the phone longer if you would have been able to convert him to the "good" side.
As a small business owner myself, I can't stress the importance of doing due diligence enough to other fellow business owners because these types of scams target us directly! Thanks, Ben! You are doing the Lord's work every day!!
I’m surprised by how forthright the last scammer was (after being called out on the scam). As far as scammers go, he was quite eloquent in his responses. Was not expecting that exchange 😂
About 3:00 in the morning last night got a text from amazon. But the extension was not. AVL or something like that saying that I changed my password. That would be pretty amazing since I haven't bought anything from Amazon and like 9 years! You're really putting these cameras out to dry man this is awesome.
I am glad he's back to doing videos sitting on a couch in front of a camera. I still miss the original setup but this is way better than the one he was just doing.
Thanks for bringing attention to these scams. My company has dealt with these FOREVER now and it started with the scammers pretending to be Universities. Now most of the requests are for ink cartridges (which we don’t even sell) or something super generic like PAPER. Luckily, our IT team is always training on what to watch for.
Even if you missed the mispelled domain name, the frequent use of "kindly" in the emails should be enough of a red flag to know it's a scam. They really love that word.
I'm Gambian and I can tell you with 100% certainty the guy on the phone is not Gambian. Our English accent sounds nothing like that. What we do have is a lot of Nigerians living in the Gambia.
As if you have ZERO scammer in Gambia!. Wake up!. There are scammers in every country worldwide!. Gambia is NOT an angels country and it has its share of scammers and criminals.
Yep. They are all Nigerians. Probably got a strong VPN that fooled PGs IP Grabber or they are in The Gambia for like 6 months before moving to another country. He doesn’t need money, he has a distribution network to sell those cables. Same as car thieves, they get paid for the car and will not let you buy back your car.
He was saying you need to be sharper but he still thought you were a real company. He said, "Make sure you have people like you in your company, some well rounded staff, because I'll be back, too, and you will release some cables to me." lol He still thought he was talking to someone at a real company. So, who's not so sharp now, Cameron?
Why though? Here in Canada it would not raise eyebrows. I see it relatively often, even in official communications. Meriam-Webster and Collins do not consider it dated or archaic when it has that meaning.

Huh. That’s an interesting scam. When I saw this video and you started talking about your friend’s company, I thought the scammers were going to try to take the company bank account. This is a unique one.
There is hardly any copper in those internet cables. It would literally be the worst thing you could ever think of to get copper out of, they are probably about 95% plastic and would be so much work to retrieve the copper. Why order something with such a little amout of copper in if that is the case, when you can make a order with something that is 100% copper.
This last scammer was quite interesting. Reading between the lines, it looks like he is not a "professional scammer". He needed high quality cables and this was the cheapest way to get a good quantity of them. That's why he wasn't so angry about it: he tried, it didn't work out, he will succeed at the next try. He doesn't rely on scams for living, it's just a way to get low cost material for his business activity. He knows the police in the USA or Gambia will ever move a finger for this. Safe crime.
I get e-mails for these scams daily. My impression is that part of the scam is that they want the shipper to use their courier service and for the shipper to pay for that courier service and bill them a combined charge. I've been tempted to come up with some story about how all or our sales are for highly secure equipment covered by export controls and how we can only sell to companies on a pre-approved list issued by the government.

Hey Pleasant Green! I got hit with a new scam I haven't seen yet. These people message you saying there is a outstanding toll balance on the record and to avoid a 50 dollar fee visit a link.
This is definitely one of the more "professional" scams to surface, it seems. The "electiric" email would've probably fooled me, in all seriousness. It's a very subtle typo that would probably go past most people, since the rest of the name looks good enough, and it seems they have lots of the wording down (or at least did a modicum of research on what terms to use to "fit in"), but then it falls apart with the typical "Kindly" and "okay" sentence structures... If they fixed that, it'd be scarily convincing to the average person. Interesting new thumbnail btw. Are you moving away from featuring yourself in the thumbnails?
Couple of years ago someone tried to scam our company in Germany the same way. We knew they were scammers so we called the police and asked if we should go on so they can propably catch them. The police wasn't interested so we didn't proceed but instead informed some of our business partnes about the scam to not fall for it.

Oh wow, a scam I've never heard of before?? Well done Ben! Loving the background scenes!
Just so you know these scammers don’t sound anything like Gambians. They are scattered in countries where they are less likely to be noticed these days.
It's refreshing to hear about scammers from Gambia today. No Nigerian scammers now.
Awesome video, the captions turned out fine. Hopefully, if you ever do another video that requires that much captions, we can set up the auto caption feature from Premiere Pro to make the editing process easier for you.
Yes, we will need to try!
As someone who’s hearing impaired, I appreciate the effort for accurate captions!
It seems that TH-cam's auto captioning works quite fine also.
Pleasant Green just keeps uploading Banger after Banger ‼️‼️bro doesn’t miss
If you hear any African or Indian accent with a name like "John Smith" it's a scam..
It always puts a smile on my face when I see you upload a new video! Keep up the good work!
Hey Pleasant Green! I got hit with a new scam I haven't seen yet. These people message you saying there is a outstanding toll balance on the record and to avoid a 50 dollar fee visit a link.
Kindly, again! You've taught us to beware of that word, Ben. Thanks!
This is definitely one of the more "professional" scams to surface, it seems. The "electiric" email would've probably fooled me, in all seriousness. It's a very subtle typo that would probably go past most people, since the rest of the name looks good enough, and it seems they have lots of the wording down (or at least did a modicum of research on what terms to use to "fit in"), but then it falls apart with the typical "Kindly" and "okay" sentence structures... If they fixed that, it'd be scarily convincing to the average person.
Interesting new thumbnail btw. Are you moving away from featuring yourself in the thumbnails?
Nothing like a good morning laugh to make my day! 😂😂😂 but in all honesty….these scammers are just terrible…..
Just sent a scammer $20 to stop scamming and check out your channel for possible advise. Seems like a good dude, just lost in Nigeria.
Couple of years ago someone tried to scam our company in Germany the same way.
We knew they were scammers so we called the police and asked if we should go on so they can propably catch them.
The police wasn't interested so we didn't proceed but instead informed some of our business partnes about the scam to not fall for it.
I’m from Ghana and I promise you not all west Africans are like this 😭😭😭😭
