watermarks are definitely something to consider when selling online. helps keep scammers from stealing your pictures and using them to scam people, which happens A LOT on Facebook
It doesn't always work. They will replace your watermark with theirs or sometimes not even bother because no one really reads the watermarks. I've been that victim. I was selling something on Etsy that became really popular. Someone decided to clone my stuff. One group decided to sell a crap quality of my wares. Another group was scamming customers and taking their money. But they kept hitting me with copyright strikes. So my stuff gets taken down for 3 days at a time while they profit and I have to wait for the copyright strike to be removed from sending disputes. I had backup listings that I used but it's not good for the customer because they think they're getting scammed because the original listing they bought it from is gone. But these idiots lifted my pics and used them for their listings.
The watermark was a great idea! Keep pumping out these awesome videos, man. You're doing inspiring work and really helping people to not fall for this stuff. :)
True story I'm unfortunately a victim of this scam but in a far grosser context....When I was a teenager I was trying to sell my prom dress, and put up the listing on Craigslist. I received a text from someone interested but they wanted to verify that the dress would fit them so they asked for more photos, and spefically photos of me to ensure we were "similar sizes" unfortunately I'm extremely petite and I struggle with finding clothes that fit me so I releated to the scammer. Then "she" proceeded to send me photos of bras and herself in a bra(I can only assume these are photos of victims) and wanted me to do the same, then it got gross real quick and "she" wanted photos of me braless to better ensure we had the same breast size, and then finally said "you can't tell me you've never send nudes before". Obviously this person was a disgusting individual trying to scam young girls into sending inappropriate images to them. I blocked the number. I also never list anything on Craigslist anymore lol.. Hopfully this comment raises awareness about this kind of scam. There's some really disgusting folks out there man, be careful.
oof that's one bitter lesson you learned there. Hopefully you wont experience anymore creeps, but tbh they're everywhere and they pounce when you least expect it.
That is absolutely disgusting. Tbh, I dont think any girl would purchase a used dress online due to suspicion of scams. But idk, im a guy so I cant rlly tell. I never thought scammers would get to the point where they'd be deliberately asking for nudes. Like, it is horrible. I hope you're alright, it's best if you don't ever send photos of yourself holding/wearing something.
@@J_Lynn one of the reasons I think it's more scam in its nature, is because once I interacted with this one, I kept getting texts from other numbers asking the same thing- photos of me in the dress and I knew it would escalate so I kept blocking them. Typically scams work like that, once you interact with one, your number is spread to others. But maybe predators do something similar and share the number with other predators? I dunno. Either way its definitely concerning. I'm doing okay though! This happened years ago and all I can say is it could've been worse.
@@awkwardpotato2793 And had you actually sent explicit photos, they likely would've threatened to send them to friends/family to blackmail you into sending more extreme photos. It's sadly a pretty common creeper tactic... Not to mention the constant stress of knowing those photos are out there in God only knows who's hands...
You had the opportunity to send literally ANYTHING to that address knowing it would be auto forwarded to the scammer in Nigeria and you DIDN’T take advantage of it? Surprised you didn’t get Mark Rober to send a glitter bomb… or pull a classic Pleasant Green and send some poop…
Serious question here. How do you know the shipping company isn't in on it? They could be part of the scam and just told you they'd shut down the account but won't. I guess there's nothing you can do except take their word for it. The only other thing would be to turn it all over to law enforcement who might be able to investigate the shipping company, also.
The fact that the business promotes that they ship to Nigeria, specifically, says it all. Their business model is centered around Nigerian scammer clientele. Its like a drug dealer saying they will keep an eye out for illegal drug sales.
They offer cheaper shipping to Nigeria and they have a warehouse in both Usa and Nigeria. They aren't necessarily in on it, but you know scammers will always want to take advantage of every opportunity.
@@izuchukwuA590 Is it a coincidence that, of the 54 countries in Africa, they just coincidentally specifically onky mail to the one responsible for more mail fraud than the other 53 combined? You are really stretching the benefit of the doubt thin enough to be see through.
I don't think the shipping company would be in on it because if they were, they would have given the scammer a heads up that he's suspicious and the scammer wouldn't have played along for so long
@@featherpony Most countries in Africa don't have 800,000 immigrants from them living in the United States like Nigeria does, the price of basic goods are so high in Africa that its far cheaper for them to send money to relatives in America and have them buy things like diapers or lamps and then ship it to them in Nigeria so being a shipping company that focuses on Nigeria would get a lot of customers
Great video but disappointed that you are promoting a scam sponsor. It is just some Hong Kong based Chinese investors printing worthless certificates. They aren't planting trees. There is no mention of your name on the Land Registry, so even if owning land would get you a title, you don't actually ever own land. They are probably mapping the coordinates of random forests in the Highlands. In the UK, some land/property can come with titles, but as you can imagine they are rare, inherited properties only and titles knock up the price of the property. Usually the titles can only be passed down blood relatives and cease if there is a break for whatever reason. I am staying subscribed - but I am surprised this sponsor got through your due diligence.
@@NTPAmusementsCO For a guy that unearthed all kinds of scam-tactics, the fact that he promotes the old "I have a bridge to sell" kind of scam is unsettling. You might think it's all fun and giggles all you want, but you are not allowed to ask others to be silent about something that bothers them.
I think it must be an oversight of some sort. I will like to hear his response as soon as possible. He especially, needs to be extra careful about what he promotes on his channel as he has built a level of trust he shouldn't misuse. I actually went ahead to their website and i probably would have order it, if not that it was so damn cheap and too good to be true.
dude, i can't believe you are sponsored by a scam company! This title is more of a gimmick than a real title in the UK you need to actually own legal land that this is not there are laws against this to become a lord or lady you need to buy land for yourself and not get a third party like Establishment titles as it just a scam!
Ben would you please check to make sure that Established Titles is not a scam. We bought a couple of these for our girls and they put lords instead of ladies. I did an internet check on the company and I found a lot of information that it was a fraud. The are a Hong Kong company. I also discovered you can not use titles unless you pay a lot of money for a Barrons title.

You’re my favorite TH-camr Mr.Taylor, I really wish you make more videos often because your videos help me escape my depression.I hope some days we meet. With love from Mama Liberia 🇱🇷
Nice, video. I love to watch your videos. Same happened to me multiple times too, when I was selling my camera lens on eBay. Scammers from GB are constantly checking items there and tried to scam me with fake bank accounts, fake transactions and fake emails. They always want to pay the full price instantly instead of trying to get a better offer. Quite funny, but annoying. 😋 If they ask you "will you ship the item, if I send you the money", then you have to answer "yes, as soon as the money arrives at my bank account", because they will use a fake bank account (instead of sending you the money directly, which they never mention before) and tell you that they sent you the money but that this (fake) bank is withholding the money and will send it to your bank AFTER you have sent your item and confirmed it with a tracking number. Classic! 😂
I scrolled back so many times wondering how I missed a promo, then checked the description for it. Shocking, but then comforting that he made a move on it
I'm a Nigerian, I know how life is in Nigeria, scamming is not a good source of livelihood. Well, what do you expect in a country the political class are looting money in billions and taking it to overseas and leaving the common man suffering?. In a country where a foreign company will come and destroy our environment in the name of looking for natural resources and the villagers can't even have good drinking water 💦? . I think we Nigerian youth it is time we need to rise against bad government, they have destroy our reputation, Nigerians are very hardworking people. Internet fraud is not what we are known for. 2023 is coming, we need to rise against bad government. I wish this guy will help us recover all the money our politicians have looted and invested in real estate outside Africa I will be happy. God bless you brother keep it up
Awesome and informative video as Always!! I have actually seen scammers ask for similar videos except they would ask the person to show themselves in the video so they could then turn around and use the video to scam the person's friends and family on social media.
Glad to hear my country being mentioned. I feel like Scotland doesn't get recognised enough. If you're ever in Scotland you should let us all know. Would love to meet Ben Dover in person.
EDIT: Thank you for listening to our concerns regarding this. It shows you actually care about your community. While I would hope you address this in a video (even in a Short), I still appreciate that you made the edit to the video and description. Though I’m now seeing other people promote this scam… 🤦🏼 Original comment: You promoted a scam while outing a scam…? Established Titles is a scam. You don’t “own” the land. It’s more like “adopting” the land, similar to adopting a highway in the States; it doesn’t mean you *own* the highway.
Read this article before you get involved in buying Titles like "Lord" and "Lady" online. That scam has been going on for years: (TH-cam keeps deleting the link, google for Forbes article titled "A Real Game of Thrones: The Big Business of Buying and Selling Royal Titles") Shame on Pleasant Green for promoting an internet scam.
You damn scambaiters got me in this spiral of watching all your videos. They’re so informative and interesting. I hate it. Obviously, I’m joking. I love what you do. I discovered you, Pierogi, Trilogy Media, Jim Browning, etc, about four days ago. I’m completely consumed by the content.
lol sold an Ipad on marketplace yesterday, hand several folks wanting to pay more than the asking price + shipping to ....you guessed it Houston. Granted I saw this AFTERWARDS, but sold local pick up, CASH only. Love the videos
I’m English living in France and enjoy watching your videos I find it amazing how all the scammers seem to be lacking in the brain cell department. I find it amazing how they actually manage to scam anyone
So to comment on the short video request, it's a normal thing for buyers to ask. Photos can be stolen or photoshopped. Videos (especially with a note or voice) is almost impossible to fake. It's just another way for a buyer to see the legitimacy of an advert.
Fun Fact: Titles like lord or lady can't be used in most countries, also you won't actually own the land they sell most people the same amount of land. One of those certificates from Established Titles is worth as much if you just printed it out yourself
Good to see you reacted to plot of land scam and refused payment. I would like to see a video talking about why this was endorsed as it's so crass. Original comment This is truly desperation. Its beyond scrapping the barrel for sponsors. I can't trust any sponsor of this channel, such a shame.
I tried selling my old truck online and someone sent me a check for asking price, plus two grand over, I was to cash the check and send the remaining balance to someone else that was coming with a truck to get my truck, lol! I didn't fall for it, plus any time you have a check written to you for a grand or more, the bank automatically puts a hold on the check for 5 business days, to make sure the check is good
Cashier check scams are common. People think that those checks are always good but they are not. As a computer tech i get in response to ads "hi i have 10 hp laptops that need windows 10 installed and anti virus. Can you take the work? I pay 800 +200 for ship...." They send you a check for 1000. You cash it the bank gives you 1 grand you send the extra to their shipping partner aka them the check bounces you are stuck paying for the bounced check. To us computer shop owners these checks are like most mom and pop shops first buck they frame. We "fall for the scam" every time and see who can collect the most in a year lmao. Actually the real reason we respond is the scammers say they also own a computer shop and need some b2b work done or some will go old school and say farm work done. Farm work is a old term that basically means i or they got to many jobs and can not handle the load so we farm it out to another trusted shop. You pretty much have to respond because well you do not want to pass up on 10 laptops to do a basic windows install on that you charge 50 bucks for per unit. So you respond and when it turns out to be a scam you play along and get a fake check to put on your wall and some times you even get to shut down a mule. And rarely you have a guy who brings you 10 laptops over to do a windows install on them and make a extra 500 bucks for the week because he got hammered with calls. I get 1 or 2 of those each year from 20 to 50 of these calls emails etc like this.
There were Posters who said their Banks automatically allow withdrawals from checks as soon as the Checks are deposited and don't verify that the Checks are legitimate before allowing the funds to be withdrawn. Someone responded something like,"Your Banks allow automatic withdrawals from checks before verifying the checks are legitimate? Your banks are far more trusting than my Bank is. In my Bank, no money is allowed to be withdrawn from check until Check is verified to be legitimate. The check funds are just seen as ,"Pending," for about 10 days until it clears and the hold is removed.
@@toofuking4111 the site he is referring to is a scam. The plot of land "you're buying" isn't yours as it needs to be registered with local authorities by Scottish law. And even if it were the "lordship" would mean absolutely nothing. And they emphasize the land and lordship thing pretty hard and barely mention the tree planting, so that's secondary. You're better off just printing your own certificate and donating the money to an actual charity. Or, if you want the title, legally changing your name to lord or, in your case, king would make more sense and would actually be legally binding.
@@ZAigor88 cut him some slack please he obviously made a mistake and needs to do due diligence next time. No need to post same thing over and over again
Why do scammers get so angry when someone catches on to their scam as if YOU are doing something wrong for being smart & catching on? The “f*** your daddy to” was hilarious 😆
You're testing us, right? You taught us how to spot scams, and your "sponsor" has all the telltale signs of a scam. There's even an "make urgent purchase NOW" timer on their website! Does that mean I passed? Am I worthy?
@@ramimrahman5287 those act affect those who are not involved. All Nigerian cyber domain is been restricted bcuz of this rubbish, you can't get full internet access everywhere
it is a scam. you cant even legally register plots as small as they pretend to sell you. its $50 for a fake piece of paper you could have printed free.
Watched your lost pet scam video and u asked me to watch another this is one of my personal favourites will watch chickeb sandwich review after Love ya channnel and thabks for helping me and family stay safe for internet scams u the man brother Down under love x 🇦🇺
took me only 15 minutes of research that shows that established titles is a scam, you aren't actually buying land, you are buying rights to it but you definitely do not own it, you should probably look more into the companies that give you sponsors so you don't end up promoting scams by accident yourself. Unless of course you already knew. Legally you do not own the land nor does paying the rights for one via established titles actually grant you a title, its pure novelty.
The increased sophistication you have seen over the years is the exact same issue we have in the credit card industry in trying to prevent fraud. We analyze trends, deploy strategies, fraud is reduced, scammers start to realize they aren't stealing as much, scammers develop new tactics to try to circumvent our strategies, fraud increases, we analyze the new trends and around we go. What has changed for us recently is the rate at which scammers are able to change their tactics. In years past a fraud trend may be in effect for years but now it could be as short as a month.
So…three weeks ago you featured a NFT scam and then promoted a NFT at the same time. Now, you are promoting a company by implying you can actually own a one square foot plot of land in Scotland. It sounds much like “get a star named after you” scam. Wow. Doesn’t feel right.
I'm almost 100% sure you can't use this Lord title in official documents too long to explain but good idea for next video do your research! You have been scammed again :D :D
Great video, I love your approach on these scammers. What would have been good is when he asked for a picture you should have sent him a picture of a Hollywood star 🤣
@@kris6682 I don't know if it's a scam but it sounds an awful lot like those companies that let you "buy" a star. I don't think the title will actually mean anything.
@@kris6682 you don't get the lord title legally. it's just a custom printed piece of paper that only you yourself can validate. technically it's a scam.
0:15 I mean, you'd think that, but I've dealt with sellers, and honestly that kind of abrupt, quick, poorly worded question seems to be what they respond to. It's absolutely soured me towards Craigslist and Offer Up.
I have been encouraged by your videos. I am getting about 2-3 calls day mostly for credit card stuff. I set a new personal best yesterday at 28 minutes talking as an 84 year old VERY lonely man whose wife died last week and kids don't come over and use a walker to go get the credit card. Sometimes I hit them with telling them they will never reach Dharma in their religion and are cursing their entire family. All truth. And then tell them they will be reincarnated as someone that loses everything to a scammer. FUN!!
Dear Ted, bravo for your awareness and fighting back the disgusting scammers. I pray for you to overcome your grief loosing your dear wife. It's not easy especially when the children don't see their dad. I wish you reached out to some social workers to get some help and company. All the best to you and stay safe! Greetings from Germany ♥️🍀
I REALLY hate to tell you this, but Ted was only PRETENDING to be an 84 year old Widower to Troll the Scammers. He's probably a 20 something year old who isn't married yet.. 😏😉
I just realized I might’ve been used in a scam… I own a business here in Chihuahua, Mexico and the other day some girl asked me for very specific videos of some smart watches I sell on Facebook marketplace. Wow, I should’ve known! Not doing that again without adding watermarks! Great video Ben! Much love and greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🙏🏼
You should make a discord, I get tons of scammers while I run my business through markets like this, I’m sure tone of other people do too we will be like a unstoppable army against them
I had a similar thing happen when a guy asked for better photos, I thought nothing of it, so I sent them. Then I was checking eBay for a similar item I had and bam, there's my pictures and the price was triple what I was selling it for. Guess if someone bought it from him he was going to just going to be the middle man and make double the money
Thank you for highlighting this. I've had similar here in the UK when selling a motorcycle. (They seem to latch onto higher value items) My scammer was very similar to yours in how they push and appear to be without shame. My scammer had no idea about the UK and thought their own location was near mine - like the next village when the truth was the distance was 240 miles! I retraced my scammer and did background checks. My scammer was using several alias's on eBay and used several of them to contact me. Their true location? Romania!!!!

I'm also going through hard times, but shait needs to stay real, so one can have a real base to lean on in hard times. This clip, feels either like a push of ads, or a blunt disrespect.. based on a YT-uber no longer caring
You’re my favorite TH-camr Mr.Taylor, I really wish you make more videos often because your videos help me escape my depression.I hope some days we meet. With love from Mama Liberia 🇱🇷
Established Titles is quickly becoming a thing similar to RAID. Seeing this one everywhere lately.
this is the second time you do an ad for an scam company, last time was nft, now it is even worst
What a great job Pleasant Green 👏🏽you are very smart 🥰
Nice, video. I love to watch your videos. Same happened to me multiple times too, when I was selling my camera lens on eBay. Scammers from GB are constantly checking items there and tried to scam me with fake bank accounts, fake transactions and fake emails. They always want to pay the full price instantly instead of trying to get a better offer. Quite funny, but annoying. 😋
If they ask you "will you ship the item, if I send you the money", then you have to answer "yes, as soon as the money arrives at my bank account", because they will use a fake bank account (instead of sending you the money directly, which they never mention before) and tell you that they sent you the money but that this (fake) bank is withholding the money and will send it to your bank AFTER you have sent your item and confirmed it with a tracking number. Classic! 😂
You couldn't have found a better sponsor? Scammy as all get out. Video was hilarious though!
this🙄
That’s what I said. Lol. He promotes a scam while outing another. It’s kind of ironic…
I scrolled back so many times wondering how I missed a promo, then checked the description for it. Shocking, but then comforting that he made a move on it
I'm a Nigerian, I know how life is in Nigeria, scamming is not a good source of livelihood. Well, what do you expect in a country the political class are looting money in billions and taking it to overseas and leaving the common man suffering?. In a country where a foreign company will come and destroy our environment in the name of looking for natural resources and the villagers can't even have good drinking water 💦? . I think we Nigerian youth it is time we need to rise against bad government, they have destroy our reputation, Nigerians are very hardworking people. Internet fraud is not what we are known for. 2023 is coming, we need to rise against bad government. I wish this guy will help us recover all the money our politicians have looted and invested in real estate outside Africa I will be happy. God bless you brother keep it up
Awesome and informative video as Always!! I have actually seen scammers ask for similar videos except they would ask the person to show themselves in the video so they could then turn around and use the video to scam the person's friends and family on social media.
Glad to hear my country being mentioned. I feel like Scotland doesn't get recognised enough. If you're ever in Scotland you should let us all know. Would love to meet Ben Dover in person.
EDIT: Thank you for listening to our concerns regarding this. It shows you actually care about your community. While I would hope you address this in a video (even in a Short), I still appreciate that you made the edit to the video and description. Though I’m now seeing other people promote this scam… 🤦🏼
Original comment: You promoted a scam while outing a scam…? Established Titles is a scam. You don’t “own” the land. It’s more like “adopting” the land, similar to adopting a highway in the States; it doesn’t mean you *own* the highway.
And?
I was looking for this comment 👍
I own some land in Scotland. It came with the house that's sitting on it. That doesn't make me a Lord. It makes me a homeowner.
@@M50A1 they're charging $50 for something that you don't even own
@@popsanddais They are charging for the piece of novel paper! It is a scam!!!
Man it's sad that the scammers know most of your tricks but you always find another way to scam the scammer, love you vids btw
Read this article before you get involved in buying Titles like "Lord" and "Lady" online. That scam has been going on for years:
(TH-cam keeps deleting the link, google for Forbes article titled "A Real Game of Thrones: The Big Business of Buying and Selling Royal Titles")
Shame on Pleasant Green for promoting an internet scam.
It's like those companies that name stars right? Seems really silly to me and a total money grab.
disappointed in Green😒🙄
You damn scambaiters got me in this spiral of watching all your videos. They’re so informative and interesting. I hate it.
Obviously, I’m joking. I love what you do. I discovered you, Pierogi, Trilogy Media, Jim Browning, etc, about four days ago. I’m completely consumed by the content.
Kitboga.
lol sold an Ipad on marketplace yesterday, hand several folks wanting to pay more than the asking price + shipping to ....you guessed it Houston. Granted I saw this AFTERWARDS, but sold local pick up, CASH only.
Love the videos
I’m English living in France and enjoy watching your videos
I find it amazing how all the scammers seem to be lacking in the brain cell department. I find it amazing how they actually manage to scam anyone
I’m here from TikTok with the video of tractor harvesting something
Since i watch your videos i learn 2 important things !!
Scammers favourite famous 2 words is
NOW
OK
after every sentence 😅😂😂😂😂
So to comment on the short video request, it's a normal thing for buyers to ask.
Photos can be stolen or photoshopped. Videos (especially with a note or voice) is almost impossible to fake.
It's just another way for a buyer to see the legitimacy of an advert.
Fun Fact: Titles like lord or lady can't be used in most countries, also you won't actually own the land they sell most people the same amount of land. One of those certificates from Established Titles is worth as much if you just printed it out yourself
They say that on their site too
I like how every time he figures out something about the scammer they just keep quiet 🤐
Good to see you reacted to plot of land scam and refused payment. I would like to see a video talking about why this was endorsed as it's so crass.
Original comment This is truly desperation. Its beyond scrapping the barrel for sponsors. I can't trust any sponsor of this channel, such a shame.
I tried selling my old truck online and someone sent me a check for asking price, plus two grand over, I was to cash the check and send the remaining balance to someone else that was coming with a truck to get my truck, lol! I didn't fall for it, plus any time you have a check written to you for a grand or more, the bank automatically puts a hold on the check for 5 business days, to make sure the check is good
Cashier check scams are common. People think that those checks are always good but they are not. As a computer tech i get in response to ads "hi i have 10 hp laptops that need windows 10 installed and anti virus. Can you take the work? I pay 800 +200 for ship...." They send you a check for 1000. You cash it the bank gives you 1 grand you send the extra to their shipping partner aka them the check bounces you are stuck paying for the bounced check.
To us computer shop owners these checks are like most mom and pop shops first buck they frame. We "fall for the scam" every time and see who can collect the most in a year lmao.
Actually the real reason we respond is the scammers say they also own a computer shop and need some b2b work done or some will go old school and say farm work done. Farm work is a old term that basically means i or they got to many jobs and can not handle the load so we farm it out to another trusted shop.
You pretty much have to respond because well you do not want to pass up on 10 laptops to do a basic windows install on that you charge 50 bucks for per unit. So you respond and when it turns out to be a scam you play along and get a fake check to put on your wall and some times you even get to shut down a mule. And rarely you have a guy who brings you 10 laptops over to do a windows install on them and make a extra 500 bucks for the week because he got hammered with calls. I get 1 or 2 of those each year from 20 to 50 of these calls emails etc like this.
There were Posters who said their Banks automatically allow withdrawals from checks as soon as the Checks are deposited and don't verify that the Checks are legitimate before allowing the funds to be withdrawn. Someone responded something like,"Your Banks allow automatic withdrawals from checks before verifying the checks are legitimate? Your banks are far more trusting than my Bank is. In my Bank, no money is allowed to be withdrawn from check until Check is verified to be legitimate. The check funds are just seen as ,"Pending," for about 10 days until it clears and the hold is removed.
Thanks for this public warning! Didn’t know they do that now…
3:59 this is where the tiktok ended
Thanks 😂
Preciate ya😂
The irony that the sponsor of this video is a scam lul.
that awesome moment when an anti-scammer channel is sponsored by a scam.
He was sponsed by a scam?
@@toofuking4111 the site he is referring to is a scam. The plot of land "you're buying" isn't yours as it needs to be registered with local authorities by Scottish law. And even if it were the "lordship" would mean absolutely nothing. And they emphasize the land and lordship thing pretty hard and barely mention the tree planting, so that's secondary. You're better off just printing your own certificate and donating the money to an actual charity. Or, if you want the title, legally changing your name to lord or, in your case, king would make more sense and would actually be legally binding.
@@ZAigor88 ohhh I see
He became the sole thing he swore to destroy.
@@ZAigor88 cut him some slack please he obviously made a mistake and needs to do due diligence next time. No need to post same thing over and over again
Great channel! Enjoyed the video. From that first message I knew it was a Nigerian scammer 😂 Greetings from Africa.
Can we appreciate that he only uploads most of the time but his content is still entertaining and very informative
And in 4K resolution! Sheshh
that’s crazy lmao i just looked it up i stay 15 mins away from there…there’s a lot of scammers out here in texas, especially houston
here because the guy on tiktok isn’t uploading part 3
Same bro
fr😭🙏
Fr😂
Why do scammers get so angry when someone catches on to their scam as if YOU are doing something wrong for being smart & catching on? The “f*** your daddy to” was hilarious 😆
You're testing us, right? You taught us how to spot scams, and your "sponsor" has all the telltale signs of a scam. There's even an "make urgent purchase NOW" timer on their website!
Does that mean I passed? Am I worthy?
I am afraid Mr Green had fallen for this scam himself. He owes an apology to all his viewers for this discusting sponsorship.
@@danielahoti4109 I just watched his video on NFTs. Oh boy, this channel is taking an intersting turn!
Keep the popcorn ready, guys!
Looks like he cut the sponsor part out and talks about it in the description
It's ludicrous how people that live a life of screwing others over call you a bastard. Such an embarrassment.
8:45 😂 your great man 😂 well done 👍
You need more videos! Love the work you explain and mess with people and also help people which is rare. Enjoy it all!! Please keep it up!
"If you are a Scottish lord, then I am Mickey Mouse!"
Bro I have never seen something more meaningless that this video's sponsor. What a silliness, that thing should be considered a scam too
Is quite unfortunate for Nigerian youth. Each time I see this coming from Nigeria it breaks my heart.
Not everyone is the same
@@ramimrahman5287 those act affect those who are not involved. All Nigerian cyber domain is been restricted bcuz of this rubbish, you can't get full internet access everywhere
Imagine being born there and you just want an honest life
I love the fact that scammers that like to use the phrases "right now" and "now"
I googled souvenir plots to find out more on the legal issues but it seems this idea is in itself a scam .. no? Open to be proven wrong though
I don't think it's really legit, more of just a gimmick.
It’s a scam
it is a scam. you cant even legally register plots as small as they pretend to sell you. its $50 for a fake piece of paper you could have printed free.
Watched your lost pet scam video and u asked me to watch another this is one of my personal favourites will watch chickeb sandwich review after
Love ya channnel and thabks for helping me and family stay safe for internet scams u the man brother
Down under love x 🇦🇺
took me only 15 minutes of research that shows that established titles is a scam, you aren't actually buying land, you are buying rights to it but you definitely do not own it, you should probably look more into the companies that give you sponsors so you don't end up promoting scams by accident yourself. Unless of course you already knew. Legally you do not own the land nor does paying the rights for one via established titles actually grant you a title, its pure novelty.
for real😒
The increased sophistication you have seen over the years is the exact same issue we have in the credit card industry in trying to prevent fraud. We analyze trends, deploy strategies, fraud is reduced, scammers start to realize they aren't stealing as much, scammers develop new tactics to try to circumvent our strategies, fraud increases, we analyze the new trends and around we go. What has changed for us recently is the rate at which scammers are able to change their tactics. In years past a fraud trend may be in effect for years but now it could be as short as a month.
Bro the way you present your sponsors in the middle of your video is legendary
To every senior in the world, this video is required watching.
Next video: busting a "Scottish Lord" title selling scam.
You make me think that every foreigner is a scammer....
So…three weeks ago you featured a NFT scam and then promoted a NFT at the same time. Now, you are promoting a company by implying you can actually own a one square foot plot of land in Scotland. It sounds much like “get a star named after you” scam. Wow. Doesn’t feel right.
Hmm sounds like Atlas Earth app
Alternate title: Guy tries to rob a guy AND INSTANTLY REGRETS IT
I'm almost 100% sure you can't use this Lord title in official documents too long to explain but good idea for next video do your research! You have been scammed again :D :D
Great video, I love your approach on these scammers. What would have been good is when he asked for a picture you should have sent him a picture of a Hollywood star 🤣
Come on, really a guy who exposes scammers is promating a scam? Oh Laird
I mean we all know it’s a joke but is it really a scam if I can go by lord on legal documents?
@@kris6682 I don't know if it's a scam but it sounds an awful lot like those companies that let you "buy" a star. I don't think the title will actually mean anything.
@@kris6682 you don't get the lord title legally. it's just a custom printed piece of paper that only you yourself can validate. technically it's a scam.
@@kris6682 The title Lord is legally protected, meaning that this piece of paper won't get you out of jail.
@@nilamelody no one is going to pay $50 for a piece of paper they can make in photoshop or gimp and just print it themselves lmfaoo
I just started watching this guy 2 weeks ago and I can't stop
0:15
I mean, you'd think that, but I've dealt with sellers, and honestly that kind of abrupt, quick, poorly worded question seems to be what they respond to.
It's absolutely soured me towards Craigslist and Offer Up.
My brain autofilled their name as "Payless Shit" based on the first syllable and the bleeping 😂
I have been encouraged by your videos. I am getting about 2-3 calls day mostly for credit card stuff. I set a new personal best yesterday at 28 minutes talking as an 84 year
old VERY lonely man whose wife died last week and kids don't come over and use a walker to go get the credit card. Sometimes I hit them with telling them they will never
reach Dharma in their religion and are cursing their entire family. All truth. And then tell them they will be reincarnated as someone that loses everything to a scammer. FUN!!
Dear Ted, bravo for your awareness and fighting back the disgusting scammers. I pray for you to overcome your grief loosing your dear wife. It's not easy especially when the children don't see their dad. I wish you reached out to some social workers to get some help and company. All the best to you and stay safe!
Greetings from Germany ♥️🍀
I REALLY hate to tell you this, but Ted was only PRETENDING to be an 84 year old Widower to Troll the Scammers. He's probably a 20 something year old who isn't married yet.. 😏😉
I’m glad that I stumbled upon your videos. You be having me cracking up 😂
That sponser seems like a scam
Who came from that TikTok?
Me, I came 😂❤
Me

Meee! 😂😂
@@AstroDude-Pilot😂
You really frustrated this scammer. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I just can’t stop laughing 😂
HI. I'm a bit concerned that you've been scammed regarding land you bought in Scotland. It's a known scam here in England.
Did you pay anything?
poor Green😒
It's nice to see my fellow Utahn's doing some of my favorite type of content
1:07 was literally expecting an ad 😅
Speaking of scams, buy a "plot of land" in Scotland and become royalty. What's next? Name a star after you? Haha
I just realized I might’ve been used in a scam… I own a business here in Chihuahua, Mexico and the other day some girl asked me for very specific videos of some smart watches I sell on Facebook marketplace. Wow, I should’ve known! Not doing that again without adding watermarks! Great video Ben! Much love and greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽🙏🏼
i think that "sick guy with camera in bathroom" would make for some nice wall art in.. well ... the bathroom. lol... merch idea !!!!!!!!
First premiere I ever watch, as always your vids are really good screwing up with the scammers
You should make a discord, I get tons of scammers while I run my business through markets like this, I’m sure tone of other people do too we will be like a unstoppable army against them
I had a similar thing happen when a guy asked for better photos, I thought nothing of it, so I sent them. Then I was checking eBay for a similar item I had and bam, there's my pictures and the price was triple what I was selling it for. Guess if someone bought it from him he was going to just going to be the middle man and make double the money
If they say "kindly" they're a scammer. Good lesson I've learned.
or Sir
Or okay at the end of the sentence.
Has a channel dedicated to busting scams. Advertises for "land" in Scotland......right
Thank you for highlighting this.
I've had similar here in the UK when selling a motorcycle. (They seem to latch onto higher value items)
My scammer was very similar to yours in how they push and appear to be without shame.
My scammer had no idea about the UK and thought their own location was near mine - like the next village when the truth was the distance was 240 miles!
I retraced my scammer and did background checks. My scammer was using several alias's on eBay and used several of them to contact me. Their true location? Romania!!!!
I like how the scammer used George Beard as his name. A subtle Captain Underpants reference!
