I have worked for the post office for over 20 years and I have sent countless numbers of these packages to the postal inspectors in hopes of saving these people from being scammed. I once was able to retrieve a package for an elderly woman who sent an overnight package with thousands of dollars to a scammer, thankfully she told her son what she had done and came back the very next morning and I was able to get her money back and give the address to the postal inspectors. I wish I was able to do more and I’m grateful for all you do. Keep up the fight!
Thanks for doing a great job in stopping these scammers. I appreciate what you said “stop giving Nigeria a bad name.” As a Nigerian who is sick of these individuals, I appreciate you acknowledging that not all Nigerians are scammers. Most of all, I appreciate you stopping them from stealing from these unsuspecting people. Thanks! I am subscribing.
Not all nigerians are scammers. Many of them are princes that have a difficult time accessing their fortunes! Luckily, with a small loan of $1000 US, we can help these poor people access their millions again. Just happy to help a Nigerian prince any way i can!
@@SCUBAdfq Those kinds of people simply can't be helped. They're so consumed by greed, ignorance, or stupidity that they refuse to accept the obvious: that what they're doing is a scam.
It's actually sad and scary that many people get hooked into being victims of scams so deeply that even when someone warns them and explains them exactly the scam and why they shouldn't continue falling for it, they don't believe it and just continue.
it's a common problem, nobody wants to believe that they have been scammed, so some victims will react aggressively when you warn them because they think you are attacking their intelligence
lol I remember reading this story a while back about this guy who fell for that Nigerian 419 email scam, they claimed to have millions for him but kept asking for "fees" to cover transfers, bribes for customs, etc. He ended up giving them tens of thousands of dollars (most of it borrowed from family and friends), then the scammers just stopped contacting him. I think that whole time, he had been lying to friends and family about why he needed to borrow money, they all stopped talking to him afterward.
@@bengonzales1182 That's what happens when we are so addicted to a get rich quick scheme we ignore every bit of logic and sense. And often the person who LET themselves get scammed causes a lot of loss and hurt to those around them, like their family. There should be no pity for these people. Hopefully they will learn from their foolishness, but sadly many don't.

Thank you for bringing awareness this scam. I'm a big fan of your videos in general, they make the world a better place. You're awesome. 😊
Next time please ask them to send you an advancement of $50 to "Buy more ink" to print the rest and when he does so, IF HE DOES, then just donate that money lol
@@56585656587 - Umm, because he would keep up the pretext of needing advance funds to buy more ink. So he would force the scammer to either send him a legitimate cheque, or cut him loose completely. If the scammer sent him a fake cheque, he would try to cash it and say it hadn't worked and there must have been some kind of mistake. Are you following this?
I’ve been a mystery shopper for years with over a dozen clients worldwide. I received one of these checks that they asked me to use to buy gift cards from Walmart to “evaluate” their customer service. Of course I was supposed to immediately give them the gift card numbers, after which the check from them that I deposited would have bounced, leaving me high and dry. But I didn’t bite. I reported it to the authorities who wanted copies of everything. Idk what ended up happening. Keep up the good work!
I was a secret shopper for a fast casual restaurant about 25 years ago. They sent me forms to use to evaluate, I would mail them and the receipt. and they'd send a check. They were based out of Lexington KY, it was 100% legit, and it was kind of fun. I don't think the restaurant ever caught on to me being a secret shopper. Hardest thing was timing time from completion of the order to when they gave me the tray (without being seen to use a stopwatch). But these are rare opportunities, and my only payment was a meal for one every couple weeks.
It blows my mind at how stubborn people are when they're alerted to a scam. It's like they don't want to believe it's a scam, and still continue on until they get burned. Great video as always Mr. Dover.😜 God Bless you and your family! 🙏❤️🙏

i bet you like 90% of them still went on to get scammed, they called the scammer back and he was like oh sorry you got sent the wrong thing and then he resent another one. It takes a special kind of person to fall for something like this in the first place.
If he only sent what he wrote in the video, it probably didn't help much. If these people are already falling for it, it's probably as simple as the scammer sending another text to get them back in it.
I got scammed twice long time ago and almost became a money mule to one of the scammers! fortunately, I was wise enough not to be a money mule and stopped all contacts with the 2 scammers before they took any more money!!!
I got Same issues Dudu lucky enough I got my money recover back from the Nigeria scammer through the help of someone I suggest you send him a request I’m sure he can be of help.

My Uncle once “got a job” shipping merchandise to buyers on eBay that was originally purchased with stolen credit card numbers and shipped to his house. He was not only dumb enough to fall for the scam and think he got a job as an “internet shipper” (he never asked why he was re-shipping items that came to his house by UPS, FedEx and USPS from a domestic address back out to a domestic address) but once he figured out he wasn’t going to get paid he called his local TV News station and they did a news segment about a scam where you ship things out and you don’t get paid for it.. 🙄 Him and the news channel never touched on how the brand new merchandise arriving on his doorstep was originally purchased (stolen). This was like… 20 years ago when eBay was a new thing on the exciting “information super highway” 🤣 To this day he acts smug and thinks he “caught them” by figuring out it was a scam and contacting the police… after re-shipping a bunch of stolen merchandise for like a month. 😂 Did I mention he was on TV ‘n stuff looking really smart? 🤓
LOL 😆🤣 Ok, I’ll pass the magic bean “opportunity” to him ASAP, I’m sure he’ll be interested, just don’t try to rip him off with fake magic beans or else he’ll report the magic bean company themselves to the authorities, he’s to smart to fall for anything fishy…. 😉
You should have let them know it's a scam, vulnerable people who fall for these might not get the message as proven by them sending a pic of what they got back to the scammer
yeah but some people then go arent you the scammer and hang up. only to tell the scammer someone called them pretending to be a person helping. further ruining it.
There is also a chance that one of the recipients was scammer's friend, not a victim. He included him in the list as a quality control measure to make sure checks get mailed
@@habafflof Why not just have that friend do the mailing then? That means they have someone stateside already, so having another mule wouldn't be necessary
I think, you should have put warning in letter to let them know this is a scam, because they will probably have someone else send it and scam them. These are lot of people that could be scammed.
I also think if he had typed in the letter to the potential victims not to repost to the scammer I think he’d got more potential victims It’s all good, a few victims saved
I actually fell for this scam a few years back and got into trouble with my bank and I am more aware now of this. It honestly scary that these things goes unnoticed by gullible folks working long and hard for their money.
I also fell for this scam a few years ago. Didn't get into trouble with my bank, but got screwed financially. Had to declare bankruptcy , was the only way out of my situation.
super clever ideas? when? where? this poor nigerian scammer had too much work and sent an email to wrong person that's all ;-) our hero just used this to make another yt vid, if this is what you ment by clever then yes
Adriannotch thanks for the recoveries No matter how big a crowd may be, a person like you always stands out! No one has worked as hard as you have in the last few years. Now your efforts effort has finally paid off. Congrats!!!
This happened to my mother. The person on Facebook who the scammer was claiming to be, ( my mother's friend ) was ironically scammed herself. I took the phone off my mother and replied to the scammer, asking her how her children were doing, but actually called her children the wrong names. The scammer replied that they where doing fine and didn't question the incorrect names of their children that I gave, so straight away we knew it was a scam so then I told the scammer to go and lick my gooch.
Thank you. These fools will never do this inside of Nigeria because they will be caught, killed or if lucky go to jail. I enjoy your work. Keep it up. I give you lots of credits for your patience and style.
Next time such an opportunity happens it would be good if there was an accompanying letter explaining its a scam and instruct the people to delay the scammer as much as they can by not contacting the scammer again. This would have probably allowed you one or two days extra of saving people.
I seriously think that they have in the first batch of people, maybe a friend or themselves that you send the stuff to, so they will know at the first batch that it's not going to work
@@codex4046 - Yes, quite possibly. Unlike say a massive list of e-mail addresses which are worth relatively little to a scammer, a list of names with postal addresses of people who have (presumably) already shown some degree of falling for the scam is quite valuable. So it's certainly possible that the scammer might have one of those addresses that will report back to them, whether as an actual confederate, or as a potential scam victim who would still trust the scammer over the TH-camr's warning letter. Because gathering those names and postal addresses has taken a not insignificant amount of work for the scammer. So they don't want to risk the 'payroll employee' either not sending the letters at all, or sending the letters with warnings.
@@LHyoutube Yes, thank you for this response while i was away. I also want to add, it wont take no time to already have a friend or someone here that you can just add to the list of first outgoing mail. Like "Hey i just hired this new person, better send my friend Jason a letter as well in the batch to see what happens"
What you post makes me hopeful for the future. I was someone who would be the spearhead of many scams and didn not get scammed, but only because of my agression and intelligence. These videos show me hope for the future gen as they did not exist prior and teach a valuable lesson i wish i had prior
Why didn't you explain the scam in the letter to the victims? You could even include the check, tell them to try cashing it and they will see it will bounce. Show them that they just by luck escaped losing their money, raise awareness to avoid that these people fall for it again.
My mom got scammed through indeed for a job and she ended up losing $500. She gave them my cell # as a reference and I have received texts repeatedly for about 3 weeks offering jobs and pretending to be amazon. I watch Perogi and Trilogy Media and knew they were using my information to try and scam me as well. It sucks because they really do prey on vulnerable people and it sucks. Thank you for all of you scambait youtubers. You guys are bada$$!

Thank you so much for showing us this. I have experienced this before but Fortunately I lost nothing. I would love to volunteer to help you and take down these scammers.
Love this! A few years ago my husband got a call and almost fell for it I said why would they send you a large check then want money back ? I said this is a scam, so he told them forget it don't send a check well they did anyway and sent 2 actually lol! I called the bank it was drawn on and they said they'd been getting a lot of these scams and it was good we didn't fall for it, now me and a couple friends are getting e-mails saying like they're from me saying oh here's some pictures you might like to see click on this, they called me to see if I sent anything I said no I don't even know your e-mail address nor they mine? You have to be so careful now a days 😠
The fact that a victim sent the pic to the scammer makes me convinced that a few of them will still be scammed. Should've sent a warning letter to them about the scam, instead of the fake going out of business.
"Get the right authorities involved?" Fat chance. No one in authority wants to deal with scammers. They all pass it off to some one else. Persons like you are the only justice. Thank you.

To this day he acts smug and thinks he “caught them” by figuring out it was a scam and contacting the police… after re-shipping a bunch of stolen merchandise for like a month. 😂 Did I mention he was on TV ‘n stuff looking really smart? 🤓
@@a-bootiful-mind6648 yup verified vender !!
LOL 😆🤣 Ok, I’ll pass the magic bean “opportunity” to him ASAP, I’m sure he’ll be interested, just don’t try to rip him off with fake magic beans or else he’ll report the magic bean company themselves to the authorities, he’s to smart to fall for anything fishy…. 😉
After playing with scammers I get 10 to 15 scam calls a day. If they are on the phone with me they are not stealing money from a susceptible Seniors.
Thank you for another great video of educating the public about scammers!!! We all have to be diligent and not fall for those crazy scams!!!
This channel should be mandatory viewing to all elderly folk. You'd be saving literally millions of dollars
I love seeing scammer rage. Keep on enraging these scammers! They deserve it!
"Probably you ran away from rehab" killed me 😂 Keep fighting the good fight!
You should have let them know it's a scam, vulnerable people who fall for these might not get the message as proven by them sending a pic of what they got back to the scammer
yeah but some people then go arent you the scammer and hang up.
only to tell the scammer someone called them pretending to be a person helping. further ruining it.
There is also a chance that one of the recipients was scammer's friend, not a victim. He included him in the list as a quality control measure to make sure checks get mailed
@@habafflof that's what I was thinking as well
@@habafflof that wouldn't change anything though, he's busted either way. Better to help all the people he can while he's doing it.
@@habafflof Why not just have that friend do the mailing then? That means they have someone stateside already, so having another mule wouldn't be necessary
I think, you should have put warning in letter to let them know this is a scam, because they will probably have someone else send it and scam them. These are lot of people that could be scammed.
I also think if he had typed in the letter
to the potential victims not to repost
to the scammer I think he’d got more
potential victims
It’s all good, a few victims saved
This was very nice of you to do.
Scammers are a dime a dozen.
They need to be stopped.
Unfortunately there are wayyyy tooo many of them.
Thank you for all you do in exposing these Nigerian scammers.
I actually fell for this scam a few years back and got into trouble with my bank and I am more aware now of this. It honestly scary that these things goes unnoticed by gullible folks working long and hard for their money.
I also fell for this scam a few years ago. Didn't get into trouble with my bank, but got screwed financially. Had to declare bankruptcy , was the only way out of my situation.
@@donamicic4727 Genuinely sorry about what happened to you,Dona. Hope you've recovered from the damage. ✌️
@mac23806 Very sorry this happened to you. Sure hope you were able to recover from the damage. ✌️
You are my favorite because you come up with these super clever ideas. Great job, as usual.
super clever ideas? when? where? this poor nigerian scammer had too much work and sent an email to wrong person that's all ;-) our hero just used this to make another yt vid, if this is what you ment by clever then yes
I love how you still ask him when you get paid :D
Adriannotch thanks for the recoveries No matter how big a crowd may be, a person like you always stands out! No one has worked as hard as you have in the last few years. Now your efforts effort has finally paid off. Congrats!!!
LOL - literally!! Thank you for exposing so many aspects of these low down scammers.
Good job as always ty sir keep up the great work helping people and going after scammers.
That was a joy to watch! The scammer thought his potential victims were suckers - but the only thing they were sucking was Dum-Dums 😂🍭
This happened to my mother. The person on Facebook who the scammer was claiming to be, ( my mother's friend ) was ironically scammed herself. I took the phone off my mother and replied to the scammer, asking her how her children were doing, but actually called her children the wrong names. The scammer replied that they where doing fine and didn't question the incorrect names of their children that I gave, so straight away we knew it was a scam so then I told the scammer to go and lick my gooch.
Thank you. These fools will never do this inside of Nigeria because they will be caught, killed or if lucky go to jail. I enjoy your work. Keep it up. I give you lots of credits for your patience and style.
"have you taken your medication today?"
Lost it. This is the best message a scammer sent to you ngl. 🤣
Thousands? Where did he lose thousands?
Next time such an opportunity happens it would be good if there was an accompanying letter explaining its a scam and instruct the people to delay the scammer as much as they can by not contacting the scammer again.
This would have probably allowed you one or two days extra of saving people.
I seriously think that they have in the first batch of people, maybe a friend or themselves that you send the stuff to, so they will know at the first batch that it's not going to work
@@nostalgicumbry3279 you think they will go through that effort?
@@codex4046 - Yes, quite possibly. Unlike say a massive list of e-mail addresses which are worth relatively little to a scammer, a list of names with postal addresses of people who have (presumably) already shown some degree of falling for the scam is quite valuable. So it's certainly possible that the scammer might have one of those addresses that will report back to them, whether as an actual confederate, or as a potential scam victim who would still trust the scammer over the TH-camr's warning letter. Because gathering those names and postal addresses has taken a not insignificant amount of work for the scammer. So they don't want to risk the 'payroll employee' either not sending the letters at all, or sending the letters with warnings.
@@LHyoutube Yes, thank you for this response while i was away. I also want to add, it wont take no time to already have a friend or someone here that you can just add to the list of first outgoing mail. Like "Hey i just hired this new person, better send my friend Jason a letter as well in the batch to see what happens"
@@nostalgicumbry3279 if that was the case they'd have the friend send the checks and letters
Can you review drop shipping scams or drop shipping sites?
Great video as always. ❤️
A lot of them are not scams just people trying to profit. A lot of the products are cheap
What are drop shipping scams? I don't think they exist
@@PikaRaichupikapika Yeah I don't think they are scams
@David Mozingo Extra fees? I've never heard of that before, so I guess I haven't encountered it before
Thank you Pleasent Green!! I always give my mother the latest tips on "the know" with scams!! Thank you for your hard work!!
What you post makes me hopeful for the future. I was someone who would be the spearhead of many scams and didn not get scammed, but only because of my agression and intelligence. These videos show me hope for the future gen as they did not exist prior and teach a valuable lesson i wish i had prior
Why didn't you explain the scam in the letter to the victims? You could even include the check, tell them to try cashing it and they will see it will bounce. Show them that they just by luck escaped losing their money, raise awareness to avoid that these people fall for it again.
Wow never seen a video 4 sec after release before!
Congrats! You’re the true first comment (unless someone deleted their comment, but I highly doubt it)
Me neither the ink was still damp towards the end
My mom got scammed through indeed for a job and she ended up losing $500. She gave them my cell # as a reference and I have received texts repeatedly for about 3 weeks offering jobs and pretending to be amazon. I watch Perogi and Trilogy Media and knew they were using my information to try and scam me as well. It sucks because they really do prey on vulnerable people and it sucks. Thank you for all of you scambait youtubers. You guys are bada$$!
The line “it’s scary but good job security for me” cracked me up!
2:00 Bend Over or Ben Dover ?
Mrs Christina the bitcoin trader is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy
Wow I' m just shock someone mentioned expert Mrs Christina I thought I'm the only one trading with her
@@jerryjohn6525She's really amazing with her skills. She changed my 0.5btc to 2.1btc.
She helped me recover what I lost trying to trade my self
I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Mrs Christina
I think she is the best broker I ever seen
Having professional mentor you is also very important when it comes to trading, without proper mentorship, one tends to opt out of the market early enough. I do my investment on Mrs Christina platform.
Are you aware of the TikTok scams and more!b
I just started getting calls from "the treasury" again after like 8 months of silence. Glad you guys are sticking it to these turds.
Thank you so much for showing us this. I have experienced this before but Fortunately I lost nothing. I would love to volunteer to help you and take down these scammers.
This was great, loved the Dum Dum candy thing. thanks for the laugh
"What is the meaning of this" , the pic he sent to you with your note and the lollipop..
that´s when i cracked up 🤣
Love this! A few years ago my husband got a call and almost fell for it I said why would they send you a large check then want money back ? I said this is a scam, so he told them forget it don't send a check well they did anyway and sent 2 actually lol! I called the bank it was drawn on and they said they'd been getting a lot of these scams and it was good we didn't fall for it, now me and a couple friends are getting e-mails saying like they're from me saying oh here's some pictures you might like to see click on this, they called me to see if I sent anything I said no I don't even know your e-mail address nor they mine? You have to be so careful now a days 😠
Laff Riot! - You did many people a great service by your time in this project - thank you
I am a Nigerian, and i am very happy with the work you do. Please keep it up.
I want the job of phoning people and telling them they're being scammed. Must be incredible feeling. Great work guys 👍
It feels great that you guys keep exposing scammers everywhere, great job so much appreciated.❤️🤣🤣🥰
You're an authentic genius. Best video I've seen in months.
Ben, you such a horrible troll… please don’t ever change, we need people like you.
3:05 “Now I know this guy is based in Nigeria because he isn’t smart enough to encrypt his data” 👌
The fact that a victim sent the pic to the scammer makes me convinced that a few of them will still be scammed. Should've sent a warning letter to them about the scam, instead of the fake going out of business.
Love your videos, I know it isn't much but wanted to say thank you.
"but at least im not a dum dum" lol that was a good one 🤣
I can’t believe people are falling for this scam and being a “dum dum” without getting a “dum dum”😂
Love it! If only those scammers would start paying you for your time now. Keep up the scam-busting!
😂😂😂 the LOTR clip DESTROY IT is damn funny 😅😅😅😅
"Get the right authorities involved?" Fat chance. No one in authority wants to deal with scammers. They all pass it off to some one else. Persons like you are the only justice. Thank you.
"I know this guy is from Nigeria, because he's not smart enough to encrypt his data."
That's a mad line lmfao
imagine if you carried it out even longer without getting caught.
one of your best videos.
The dum-dum part got me good 😂😂😂
My first time on this channel (Perogi sent me) and the snippet of Lord Elrond saying "Destroy it!" was all I needed for a slap at the old Subscribe-button!
