This is a video about how I turned the tables on a scammer and tried to get him to work for me! Scammers in Nigeria often scam because they are idle and can't find work. What if we gave them work so they didn't have to scam? - บันเทิง
I very much admire the way you offer the scammers a way out with dignity, an opportunity to do better, and an education for the vulnerable persons. You lead us to be more caring and knowledgeable. You have changed me. I try to be kinder now and more understanding (without allowing them to steal from me) the scammers and spangers. Sometimes the mean me slips out still with the social security scammers.
I agree. I use to be a bit racist about Nigerians just being scummy scammers but watching these videos opened my eyes up to realise they are human too. They live in terrible conditions and even though what they do is extremely wrong I'm glad there are people like "Ben Dover" to give these guys a way out
Very nice take Season
Kindly thank you for watching

The "I'll be your dad" line cracked me up so hard. PG over here making it his life mission to reform an entire scamming culture. Godspeed.
Pg is obviously wealthy and a republican with that bs line about businesses not “finding good employees” is telling. um no. They need to pay more, go back to offering pensions and insurance like our parents and grandparents got to benefit from. I’m unsubbing, he’s literally an out of touch, wealthy person at this point in his TH-cam career.
@@a202goddess4 I'm pretty sensitive to PG's political signals and... no. He's definitely said some ~problematic~ things in the past, but he's not exactly a bootstraps neocon. See: every bit of charity and hang-up helping he's done with his channel.
I think the guy just grew up in a very insular socially conservative mormon community and kudos to him for how far away from the cult mindset he's come.
I wouldn't take the line about finding good employees as anything more than a phrase he hears a hundred times a day from the people around him, and a line he thought people would find amusing.
@@ZephyrGlaze go be sensitive somewhere else. I have had it with him. He's out of touch and rich. Almost a million sub's and AdSense. Yea I noticed you aren't saying "oh no PG hes not a bootstraps neocon at all" its lawyer talk. I said what I said.
@@a202goddess4 being very immature here dude, calm down, this youtuber is a scambaiter that goes the extra mile and has helped dozens of scammers transition to getting legitimate money in many ways and has managed to help one to getting the organ they need legally. What have you done to help?
@@a202goddess4dont act like you are in touch my countrys problems are putting food on the table while you are worrying about republicans democrats and neocots
You're one in a million. The world needs people like you not drugs and guns. Peace, love and light from Nigeria
not guns? now i think your going too far there. drugs i get, but guns? what if someone is trying to rob you? what if someone is trying to break into your house and hes armed? what if someone is trying to attack someone you know? not so easy to stop those threats if you dont have a gun. have some common sense next time when you want to be anti gun.

Labor shortage in the USA= workers realize how much power they have over the system and want to be paid what they are worth
Yeah; it's so funny that when employers could pull the strings they were all "supply and demand" but now the shoe is on the other foot, they are whining about it.
I love what you do. Your compassion towards these scammers is wonderful because maybe it's all they need to stop scamming. Sending good vibes from Newfoundland, Canada
his compassion is what drives me
This is a very powerful video. I love how you said that you’re like their dad and you’re trying to slap some sense into them metaphorically. Great job, Ben!
Scammers: you really need a wake up call. I think Ben Dover is one of the nicest guys here on TH-cam that’s trying to call out your foul play. Other channels and people are not so forgiving of you, so quit your act before Life doesn’t go the way you expect it.
Yes he's definitely more nicer I would've been. Someone tried to scam recently and I played along before blocking and report him. I have no compassion for scammers.
Bro my name is Harville Brown

As someone who’s looking for work. I’ve applied plenty of times to multi jobs. All claiming to be lacking employees.
And they don’t seem particularly interested in hiring dispute the shortage. In fact sometimes they don’t even do interviews. So yeah it feels like shortages are more an employer problem from my angle.
100% I've worked for a few companies and when ever someone in management complains about how hard it is to find people I always ask "How do you plan to overcome this challenge?". I usually get one of two responses "We are going to up the incentives for working here" (aka, work from home and pay increases) or "umm..... nothing?"
If they hire they can’t keep getting loans from the government. They just want robots who can’t afford to live in a house and pay for food.
If you want a job that badly go work At McDonald’s until you here back from that other place you want
@@Julia-uh4li you madam have earned my respect! I shall subscribe to you because you’re awesome! I have done this serval times. It pays bills puts food on the table.
@@KudoShinichikun in my town people have applied to multiple jobs including McDonalds and no one is hiring but they love to complain about having an employee shortage.
The world is in shortage of people like you. I enjoyed this video.
Imagine what the world would be like if we had more leaders like you!
You could perhaps look into such organizations that declare they require workers but aren't physically engaging anyone. It's happening all across Arizona, where everyone pretends they wouldn't have any professionals but just doesn't recruit anyone.
That's less of a scam and more just wasting people's time
Its cos employers refuse to pay employees a good wage
My brother tried to find a part-time job in Dallas and he reached out and applied to at least 20 places who were advertising "help wanted," "now hiring," and such things, but none of them contacted him back
Maybe they're looking for employees with very particular skills?
We're hiring all year long, but only few attandees are even close to fit the job's description...
Greetings from austria...
It's happening all over. In Tennessee, it seems to be decent pay in some places, but it turns out to not be full time or slightly less than 40, meaning no benefits are offered. I've noticed the same jobs by the same companies have been posted on certain job sites for the past two years at least. Is that to fill up the job sites or do employees keep leaving these jobs? Scams are prevalent among these too
Love your vids Pleasant Green. It's cool how you also give these scammers an opportunity to make legit money and help their own community. Keep up the good work
they are low down dirty rats im glad pleasant does what he does
Looking forward to work for You Sir.
Am from Nigeria,and i am always happy watching You.
I am ashamed, you are a disgrace to all hardworking scammers in Nigeria
That good to see 👍
I always love it when you drop a new video!
Hi
It’s my favorite noti on TH-cam hands down.
Me too
Scam baiting is fun, but when you scam bait and give them an ultimatum and they keep trying to scam just shows how far gone some of these guys are
It's a great hobby. I'm dealing with one right now.
I used to do IT contracting work and because of the pandemic, I get these calls and emails EVERY SINGLE DAY
Thank you for being the only TH-camr who is actually addressing this issue.
There's not a shortage of employees, there's a shortage of employers willing to pay a living wage. 😉
Right? Facepalmed the first few seconds in. How uneducated can one be??
You want a living wage? Earn it
U put the nail on the head
And a shortage of people with a work ethic
@@ThomasSimpsonOfficial NPC
The ending was absoluetly on point! Loved it!
But contrary to all the comments saying that employers are searching but don't even do interviews:
I work for a medium sized automotive company in Austria with about 4,800 employees and we're ALWAYS hiring, all year long, everytime!
Just last year we expanded by about 10% in the R&D departement alone! That's a MASSIVE growth considering the overall size of the company!
In my departement alone we now increased capacity by about 25% with loan-workers/part-time-workers (don't know the english term; people that are employed by another company but you can lend them for like 6 months...)
But... And there's always a but: Nowadays companies are looking for highly educated people. With a regular high school diploma you won't get anything that can sustain life...
Yeah, sounds bad, I know, but that's how it is.

@Jim jibroni its actually just harder to find a job without going to college and university so i agree but its like harder
@Jim jibroni crazy how your life reflects millions of Americans. Homeless people must be government actors. Also good portion of the jobs listed you need a license I ain't hiring some hobo to take care of my granny or to fix my plumbing. My GF is perfect in cosmetology but they have denied her once she said she doesn't have her license. They love her portfolio but credentials are a must for certain fields you can't just say "nah bro mr.miyagi taught me"
@@hottamale180 wie gesagt, dauerhaft...
@Jim jibroni different times when you were 19. But I agree college is overrated but if you take the route of not going to college you have to be ready to work your ass of in actual physically demanding jobs with minimal pay at the beginning. The advantage of college is getting a corporate position where you fake working( doing excels, answering emails etc) and get paid just sitting in an office.
I love that you change up your ads and they aren’t repetitive and you make them fun :) thanks for being awesome & one of my favourite TH-camrs 😊
Another fantastic video Daddy Dover! The world is a better place with you in it.
you are the only man on youtube I know of that is willing to hire scammers on purpose. keep up the great content mr dover. maybe Mike Oxlong may know a few scammers for you.
He's awesome! Trilogy Media does this too. They put an entire center out of work in India lately. Love them!
Really? Jim browning has done it, Trilogy Media has done it, as well as many others…
My statement stands as the only man I know of that is willing to hire them. Idk Jim or trilogy media much except the colab they did with pleasent green. Not everyone knows the entire youtuber community.

Hi Ben! Big fan here and I love your videos!! While scamming is wrong on all levels, I truly feel bad for Nigerians as their government is so corrupt and opportunities are pretty limited. That still doesn’t justify scamming other innocent people, and I pray for a positive long-term resolution, as Nigerians are some of the most intelligent people in the world! Thank you for your wonderful videos!!
I'm a Nigerian, and I love what you are doing.
U have a great channel got a new subscriber out of me
@@rocketsnhotrods9022 Thank you so much for the support. I appreciate your support
Employment scammers message me regularly. So I am very familiar with this format. Some of the stuff that I’ve seen in this video is identical or very similar to what I’ve seen, including the justification they have for conducting an interview via text instead of through the phone or through a video call. Also, they always introduce the company name by putting it in parentheses. And people are introduced as Mr. or Mrs., which is very formal and old-fashioned in most industries today, at least in the western world.
I was reading an old Reader's Digest magazine from March of 2019 and there was an article about you and Joel from Liberia. I already knew the story but read it anyway. It was well done. You are a decent, kind man. I pray nothing changes that.
Hi Ben! I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work! When you upload I watch it immediately.
Love your videos Pleasent Green thanks for the wonderful content
After learning about "mud cookies" in Nigeria, seeing your videos have definitely helped.
Hi Ben Dover, love your videos 😂, thank you for spotting those criminals that stain My country Nigeria....
yoh!! if these scammers don’t change after your pep talk there’s no hope. such an amazing talk!!! well done
Well done bro, you are doing a great job. Felt the need to type this, hope it encourages you to do more. peace
Ben, you are so correct about how scammers prey on people posting public resumes. A word to everyone, NEVER post your resume on job boards and make it public. You will NEVER hear from legit employers, only scammers pushing pyramid schemes or fake jobs like this one. If you really want to get a job, you need to network like there's no tomorrow. Companies always hire from internal contacts first (friends and family of current employees) and don't even look at the job boards (why you never hear back when you apply). If someone contacts you claiming they found your resume on (insert job board name here), your phone number or email didn't load up properly, are very vague about the job description, and heavily insist that you come in for an interview then it is most likely for a pyramid scheme selling insurance or something along those lines. If you really want to get a job, your best way is to ask your friends and family to put in a good reference at the companies they work at and not by posting on online job boards.
So nepotism right?
@@NyanyiC Nepotism plagues the job search world, sadly.
Indeed has their own messaging system so it does not show them your email.
Your unique take on scam baiting is so heart warming 🥰
You say nicer things to me/us through your videos than my dad ever did. I'm American and I have a labor intensive job, and never felt I had much to offer, despite hard work and integrity. I love how you even give me the idea that I could offer something valuable
I absolutely love how you went full dad mode on him lol!
Great videos! You help so many people, keep doing what you’re doing. This is so interesting, educational and fun to watch, hopefully one day these scammers will have proper jobs! I get so many scams come thru to do with the Mail- telling me my products will be sent back to the supplier when I haven’t even ordered anything or that they missed me and will be charging me to reschedule a time to deliver - it’s all fake and amazon scams too! 🤣
Ps, I love your videos and I’ve watched like all of them! 😀
Always glad to see your videos. You offer help and information about the scammers and try to help the scammers! One of a kind. 👍💕
Great video. I love the emotion in your voice at the end. Very inspiring.
The thing I love about your videos and the thing I could think probably just who you are in general is you look for the best in people and you try to bring that out because you treat these scammers with a bit more humanity than other people would
One doesn’t experience self transcendence, the illusion of self only dissipates- 🎈
Hi from the comments! I appreciate your brutal honesty! Keep it up
Major thumbs up to you, your heart is in the right place and it shows. Thanks for leading the way in scambaiting 2.0, showing us how it's done with grace and dignity. Great work!! 💕
This guy is a legend
I got called just yesterday from “Amazon” about someone trying to make a couple of purchases worth up to $1,998 ,or whatever, from my account. They wanted my bank info so they can contact the bank themselves and let them know this purchase was fraudulent 😂. I wasted about an hour and a half of their time and it was the most fun I’ve had in a while.
ur time was also wasted. wasn't it?
@@Jeffisme555 How is it wasted if they're having fun?
@@Jeffisme555 no, it wasn't. Saving other people from getting scammed is never a waste of my time.
Great job. Ive learned alot about some of the sneaky scams so thank you!!

Right on Brother, everyone has worth and can make positive changes in their life.
It's NEVER TO LAST.
He's back!!!! thank you so much for your content!
These scams they are doing really stink since the ones they are targeting are people without jobs who really need the money. Thank you for your channel and educating all of us about these scams plus it has been refreshing to see that some of the scammers you have contacted indeed have done honest work for honest pay.
I've been hit by these same scammers! They literally said everything word for word in the same way. Luckily I figured it out pretty early on, but scary how many people they're hitting up with this scam right?
Another great video Ben, I mean Mr Green. You make a great point at the end and I hope some of those scammers really come around.
Well done man!! That was completely different from any of your or others previous videos putting scammers on notice. Keep it up bro!😃
Ben tried to help this man and he just brushes him away. A shame that individuals choose a criminal enterprise over serving a legitimate purpose.
You don't know what it is like
It is very easy to judge from afar.
@@famousbycomments5077 It's still not an excuse to steal from others.
Keep up the good work.
I agree
I have friends who are from Nigeria. They are a married couple who both work in IT. Even they had a Nigerian scammer attempt to con them. They hate the reputation the scammers are giving them, but acknowledge that scamming is out of control in Nigeria. They tell me that Americans are the most popular targets because they don't know anything about the world. When you mentioned Tasmania, I laughed. How many Amricans would know where that is? Tasmanian authorities would crack down on scammers immediately. I blame the education system in the US. It's woefully inadequate on the whole.
Hi Mr Ben. Love what you’re doing and attempting to provide legit employment to scammers. The videos you and other baiters have provide great info and of course great entertainment. Keep up the great work. Thank you
Ben Dover is an incredibly nice guy.😂
Ong😂
You should investigate these employers who claim they need employees but it’s some kind of scam because they’re not actually hiring people it’s all over Omaha everybody claims they have no employees but yet they don’t hire anybody
Maybe they're looking for employees with very particular skills?
We're hiring all year long, but only few attandees are even close to fit the job's description...
Greetings from austria...
Your comment is exactly the same as 'DEZZ SHORTS Official's comment, albeit a few word swaps. Very odd. Either you copied them, or they copied you, or you're the same people.
Once again, you come through with another great video 👍. Keep up the great work
Hello Ben, I have been watching your scam busting shows on youtube for a long time now , and its just fun to watch. I just want you to know I love your shows and other scam baiters. I can assure you that so many Nigerians Enjoy watching these shows.
Nigeria has a population of over 200 million and a few scammers shouldn't make you think we are all into scamming. NO we hate it ,we too get scammed back home.
There’s no shortage of employees, there’s a shortage of good employers
Yea it’s obvious Pg is a wealthy & out of touch republican from that comment.

It’s crazy how tricky these guys can be they even invent new speeches dialog business websites like dudes your smart use that for good prob make a killing at stoping the scammers instead of being them help me Ben and others who are trying to stop these scammers there’s fields for everything from techs to graphic design
Ive watched alot of your videos and not only are they funny but you teach people what to look for in scamms because I was almost scammed a couple of weeks ago and did some of your tips keep up the good work with these idiot scammers!!!
Saw your videos from watching kitboga!! I really love your work 😍
I try apply for work from home jobs but most of them want me to pay for “supplies” before hiring me.
Does anyone see the Veranome profile picture on Harville’s Skype account? He’s running this scam as many legitimate businesses.
Thank you for this video! Just last week, my elderly aunt got scammed with an Amazon scam. She received a text telling her, her Amazon account had suspicious activity in the amount of $450… she doesn’t have an Amazon account 😤 but she clicked the link anyway. The scammer had her download 3 spyware apps with gave them access to see everything she was doing on her phone, so they could walk her through exactly what she needed to do. They directed her to login to her banking app an instructed her to send $500 through Zelle 😫😤😡. She was about to give them even more information, but they got greedy an asked for her debit card number which was suspicious to her, so She ended the call and called me frantically😢 fortunately when I called the bank, the funds were still on hold, so we were able to cancel the transaction. We had to change all of her bank account information and we brought her a new phone since they corrupted her old phone.
Subscribed for the brutal honesty at the end
Every time I meet a Nigerian, I start to feel scammed before our encounter even begins. 🥴 The bad ones are messing it up for everyone else. 😂
Or Indians..
A former co-worker was engaged to one--and in the Nigerian's defense, he was also a co-worker.
Things nonetheless did go south as the guy ended up skipping town for reasons unknown (he also disappeared from the office overnight).

Obviously scamming is not good, but this is a bigger problem than "just stop doing it". Everyone is human, so if you were born in Nigeria there's a high chance you would also be a scammer. Same with anyone else. The fact that people are scamming really shows their desperateness. In a place where lots of people scam, people do not feel too bad about doing this because it's what everyone does. There are so many examples of this throughout the world, it's just human nature. What's even worse than scamming is the wealth difference between people throughout the world. I say this because someons wealth is heavily influenced by where they are born and who their parents are, which are completely uncontrollable. People in the US who cannot afford to go to collage might work at a store, while people in some parts of the world have no choice to do any job their entire life, even if they are the smartest person in the world. There's no clear way to fix this though. But the people who are scamming don't have too many choices on what they do. And of source someone in Nigeria would respond to your tweet, because they know who you are. But to someone who doesn't, why would they trust you? You cannot blame the guy for not wanting a job from you.
Yeah I agree, that last part came off as a bit preachy, I feel like he's developing a bit of an ego, before he seemed a little more emphatic, and now its like "I'm a somewhat popular youtuber, and instead of trying to understand your situation, I'll just pay you to stop scamming!".
Really admire how you always try to bring out the good even from scammers
thx Ben!!! love ur vids been watching since day 1
I think you need to realize that it’s not that employers can’t find good employees it’s that employers don’t want to pay a living wage. It took me 14 months to find a suitable job while everybody’s told me my resume is impressive. I also work in customer service and my job requires a bachelor‘s degree. we do make more money than accountants sometimes for the record. Sheesh. I like your content but those opinions are misguided lol
I hate when people look down upon other profession. Without good customer service, paying customers will leave if they can't get the help they need 🙄
Not everyone can do customer service well. I am one of those who cannot.
I would love to work for you. I have computer software/engineering skills
Thank you for what you are doing, I'm from Nigeria, Keep the good work up
Always love your videos. Best background music around in your videos 😍
You know I would have loved to try magic spoon but it's 10$ a box... I guess I'm sticking with sugary cereals for now.
Drew Gooden did a vid on it where he just reviewed random products and he did not like the taste of it at all
@@Knapperoni That's a shame especially for there price. You would expect the cereal to be very good.
Wow he must think everyone who watches his videos is stinking rich or something. Sad that someone in the comments had to point that out instead of he himself being open and honest about that.
Well, that explains why he poured about two spoonfuls into his bowl.
That's epic I like watching scammers get scammed lol.
Gotta love when Ben gave the Nigerians the dad talk. Great job Ben❤️💕
This man is my favorite channel on TH-cam
Okay first of all Ben, think as they are forced to think. Choices are man-know-man, juju priest, scamming, police job-scamming the public to make up for the police commissioner taking his cut from your salary, armed robbery, or honest to goodness laborer. Some of these kids have college degrees but there is no work in the country. As they say, long-throat catch them as they see their friends driving nice cars, with pretty Nigerian igbo girls, smoking stogie, ear piercing music... they want that too. Not in 10 years, right now.
I am with you giving these Nigerians opportunity to shine. However honest work that comes once every week/month/year vs scam every day... scamming feeds them daily. Thanks for for what you do, I hope you can run a scam-a-thon help Nigerian scammers get honest work.
You sound legit pissed at the end. Respect
Your frustration here is warranted and understandable dude, after dealing with the same crap and offering others a way out, and to see this guy reject it yeah I would start venting too
You are the best thanks for everything may God keep growing your channel ❤️💪🇬🇲
The best scammer name I ever saw was on an employment scam email from a person named Warehouse Gallipoly. No, it wasn’t the faux company’s name. The email opened with, “My name is Warehouse Gallipoly.”
Going back into the job market was very difficult for me after I came back from energy aid because of all the scams and how much I lost real opportunities because I thought they were scams. It’s really disheartening and raid inducing. When people do things like this luckily I did not lose any money but I did lose my trust in putting my application online and that’s hard to do.
It’s very difficult and I don’t think résumé should be out to the public I believe that if they request and ask for it should be a different story but because it’s to the public they are more likely to spam you.
I miss these. Let’s see more. You seem like a really good person
Ben That was a beautiful video!!
