Banks are uniquely in position to stop scams. However, it seems too often banks automatically process funds out of and into customer accounts without checking with the customer to determine the reason. Banks should have customer care employees who are versed in money scams and who can reach out to customers to discuss whether they are victims and inform them of how money scams work. Obviously, due to the enormous amount of money being stolen by thieves right out of people's accounts, people are not savvy enough to spot criminals. Additionally, there should be a firewall against thieves for each account. I cannot even access my account online until I authorize the bank call me to give me an additional code, beyond my password. Everyone should have at least that insurance of a code delivered directly to the customer each time they access the account online.
You are one of the very few baiters who deal with these email scammers that I am aware of. The only other one I know of is Atomic Shrimp...he trolls them for fun, and it's hilarious. The writing 'style' here is exactly the same as other email scam attempts I have seen. You go much further, tracking them down, talking on the phone to play with them...reporting as appropriate....and the final ba-da-boom!. Loved it. Terrific and great work. As always Cheers
I work in finance and... the level of financial scams is disgusting. It's constant and every day. Hoping to work my way into the financial crimes department one days because it's relentless and I've had family members who fell victim. It's everyday and nonstop.
yeah we all do.. the government and the institutions that control the printers are scamming your family and everyone every day, i hope u will bring them down.
I forwarded this to my elderly father before reaching the end of the video (when you asked us to share it with others). I truly wish this is something you did on a for-hire basis. I clicked on this video because I have a bad feeling (I don’t have details) that it was a scam like this that he was duped by. To hear it described it’s such an obvious scam, but somehow he continued to go along with it. And this man has two PhD’s.

@@PleasantGreen I don’t know how to say this but your videos motivated me a lot and I have stopped from trying to scam but work hard. Here is hard and most guys go through a lot.
Ben, thank you for exposing those scammers. They are scrupulous. Sometimes, when I'm bored, I reply to such emails. One scammer tried to convince me that a considerable amount of money had been transferred to my (fictious) account. The transfer was signed by Meghan Markle! Then, I was told that the amount was invisible on my account until I had paid a "fee". So, I sent them a fake transfer receipt signed by Harry of Sussex.
Ben, anytime I see you have uploaded something, then I know it is time to drop each and everything to watch. Every single one of your scambaits is an adventure!
I laughed so hard. I had a letter that was sent to my deceased mother stating she had been left a inheritance from a person in Asia. I knew darn good and well it was a scam. I kept it and LMBO every time I see it. I also turned the scammer into the police.
"Nothing sounds more Nigerian than John Michaels, Roberts James, Taylor wicks, peter Andrew" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but actually I know of a Nigerian who isn't a scammer but his official name is Michael Wilson 🤣 I do troll him tho. Out of 20 Nigerians in Lagos 19 are scammers, I am Nigerian and this saddens me.
Thank you so much Pleasant Green for just realizing and understanding the Nairobi/Naigeria situation with the scammer. I am a Kenyan and it hurts to see all the Nigerian scammers that have moved to Nairobi ( 10 of them will live in one apartment) just fishing and waiting for the bait.
This video was such a great way to be shown how to investigate scammers. Really appreciate your approach! Your channel makes scambaiting worth watching without the vile cursing used on other channels. Keep up the good work!
I've been so well drilled at this point that whenever Ben showed a form asking for details my brain immediately added "you know, the kind you should never share with a stranger on the internet"
I'm glad I don't have to worry about my grandma scam wise, her mental state has been deteriorating these last few months but our family members are over there all the time so if she had to go to a bank or transfer money they'd hear about it since they drive them places.
This is like 2-in1, comedy and reality show all together 🤣 Love this channel. It make us aware of scammers, it make us laugh also. Well done Pleasant Green
Excellent work, *Vortextrace* - I’m grateful that you are out there fighting against these individuals who lack moral principles. We must do everything within our power to spare the elderly and the wider public from these despicable scammers! Congratulations to you!! You deserve the highest honor for your role in keeping us safe, brother.!!!!!!!😊😊
Ahhh, the corrupt Kingdom of Belgium! Being from Belgium myself, it thoroughly enjoyed hearing Mr. Patrick's clearly Flemish accent ;-). Thanks for making these videos! Very entertaining and educational. Cheers!
“Oh, you’re from a Belgian bank? Let’s continue in one of the three official languages then”. Let see them get out of that one when they try to scam a Belgian.
@@JohnKeijzers Een eind, maar genoeg manieren om te checken of iemand een translator gebruikt of niet. Ze worden uiteraard steeds beter, maar het blijft een computer systeem die niet denkt als een mens. (Heb ik dit nou via Translate gedaan of kan ik gewoon echt deze taal?)
This is why I have nothing but pure red hatred for scammers. Their victim could be dying and they still wouldn't care and would take their money anyway.
In countries with free health insurance that would be the best person to be the victim. I guess who will suffer the outcome of the scam the most depends on country.
That is awful, but I kind of feel bad for the scammer too, what a horrible existence. Often they're scamming because they're just stupid and lack the capacity to think about other people.
I was supposed to meet Robert at the ECB HQ after our email chain.... I was going to thank him in person for finding my lost millions, but alas, he didn't show up. And I never left my room across the other side of the world.
I've seen something similar to the whole 'same bank layout' before: after I got a traffic ticket, I had to do an online course and surprisingly a LOT of the site the Department of Transportation had offered had identical site and even addresses.
Ben - As always, GREAT JOB. There are so many people, included well educated, that get sucked into these scams so your hard work, and involving law enforcement is to be commended. Also, I want to again congratulate you on 1,000,000 subscribers and for hosting the party. Enjoyed interacting with you although I am still upset you didn't share the cake with the rest of us. Looking forward to seeing your RUclips plaque on the wall. Lastly, and this may come as a surprise to you, but over the last week I won 23 iPhone 14 Pros. I can't believe my luck! I don't know what I will do with all of them so perhaps when they begin to arrive, which I am sure they will, I'll send them to you to distribute to the poor and needy.
I love your videos. You and Pierogi are the best because you lead them on, mess with them and get results but your shows aren't a series of swearing or beeps. Love Triolgy but I ride city buses and hear "m-fer" a thousand times and then there's the guy who just swears back like a 9 year old who just learned a new word... "You're a benchode, YOU'RE a benchode, no YOU are, uh-uh, YOU are..." So it's great to have actual entertainment while you're doing your job. (BTW, was Eileen a little old lady or the woman on the ID?)
Usually they don't ask for such a large amount as $4000. They know people wouldn't fork up that much. When I scambaited these people they usually ask for a smaller amount like $200 which is more "reasonable".
Classic! Everyone could learn a lot from watching this video and although it is serious and extremely illegal, I love your sense of humor too. It makes it more fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this useful information.
I also work for a bank and I’ve seen a scam almost just like this, I linked the accounts and the people that were scamming a customer for the same bank.
I watch some of Trilogy Media, but most of them I don’t watch. They are now doing “To Catch A Predator” type videos, I’m not sure if I like them, the first one I did not like though.
its often due to how naming systems vary between cultures. most non western it is just a personal name or family name then personal name. so when they try to fake a western name they pick names from a baby name book and are too lazy to look up a family name database
That last question about whether he wants you to send the money to Texas or Nairobi was so good because if he doesn't just hang up it opens up so many opportunities for you to respond in clever ways
True, I got a call from India today. Apparently I created a trading account on some random ass company’s website two days ago at 6 pm. I had some fun with them, I kept asking why I hadn’t received a confirmation email lol.
Not really. Most younger people don't fall for this stuff. It's primarily an old person thing. The scammers will be mostly out of a group to scam in about 10 years. That's if they keep trying this lame scam
@@kitten-whisperer I honestly see plenty of youngish people (30ish) saying they sometimes fall for this kinda thing. You'd be surprised how gullible some people are lol
@@yxgctybgvgfvfvfbh4663 you're definitely not wrong. I'm sure it's primarily older people but hey, at least old people have the excuse of not growing up with technology so the younger ones have zero excuse lol
That's why these scams are so scary. The smartest people still have moments of stupidity. Smart people still sometimes wake up early and miss something because of lack of sleep. Smart people get sick and are out of it because of it.
I almost fell for one of those. I got mad I had to pay for something I didn't know I was getting and stopped there. Later I found out it was a scam. Also, the "tracking number" wasn't even a USPS tracking number. Still have no idea why I disregarded that bit of info.
I second this. I almost fell for it myself as I was expecting a package from USPS at the time, so I thought the message was about my recent order. Luckily I realized it was fake before I started giving them my info.
I work at a bank and have avoided several scams before but the victims always thinks we are lying and the scammers are telling the truth. Its tough to convince some people, but a few have come back another day to thank me.
On multiple sites I have my age about 10 years older than what I actually am. I'm 70 and I get a lot of individuals trying to scam me. If I'm bored, I play the game, and I follow your script, except I don't use the tools, which is actually quite fun.
While I don’t work with scammers like this; I work for a phone company that constantly has people calling up trying to set up contracts in other peoples names, it has gotten to the point that I can spot them straight away because it always seems to be the same few people
Depending with the URL providers, it might be against their TOS to do stuff like that. So that means we can mass report the URLs to the providers and they might get shutdown
Sadly, this is just a slap on the wrist for them. They make way too much money. They'll just open new accounts. Buying new licenses is just a mild inconvenience to them.
I have noticed that scammers often use last names that are just regular first names. Like Robert instead of Roberts, and some that normally aren't used as last names. Like here in this vid we have Robert Peter, Nicole Thomas, and Marc Patrick. I also noticed their use of the word kindly, which is an immediate red flag. Scammers use “kindly” all the time, as in “kindly go get the gift cards”. Other often-used phrases are “each and everything” and “from my side/from your side”, and using “ok” at the end of a sentence even if it makes no sense, and no ? or use of any punctuation.
I'm homeless and I get emails claiming that I shopped at Amazon or Best Buy receand am due a refund... Nahh, I don't think so! Lmao I'm so broke and I'm homeless at that so that's also how I know it's a scam. Plus I always take a look at the email that's sending me stuff and it's just a bunch of random letters and numbers and/or it has the most generic most ridiculous name on it that anyone has ever seen.. Kinda like Mr. Mark Patrick or a Ben Dover or whatever else. Lmfao. But hey, I love these videos man. They definitely cheer me up at a time like this, it's super cold outside, got no warm clothes or anything, right now I'm sitting inside of a McDonald's using the Wi-Fi on this cheap phone I received from the welfare office so I can at least keep myself busy and get to watch cool videos like these!! Love your videos man! They make me happy!.. I lost EVERYTHING I owned when covid hit. My dog, car, job, house, just everything!...
I'm always perplexed by the amount of bank or courier emails I get where the subject line contains a half dozen emojis. Because yaknow, 3 blue lovehearts and 3 sunglasses emojis definitely makes it look like an official UPS notification of a pending package...
And here some of us are in Nigeria, studying, trying to graduate and get a good job locally or internationally only for my own people try to tarnish our image day by day. It's sad 😔
The music whenever Ben says Nigeria will never get old
I always hope the real IP address is in Nigeria too!
trrrrrrrr tun tun😂

I have noticed that scammers often use last names that are just regular first names. Like Robert instead of Roberts, and some that normally aren't used as last names. Like here in this vid we have Robert Peter, Nicole Thomas, and Marc Patrick.
I also noticed their use of the word kindly, which is an immediate red flag. Scammers use “kindly” all the time, as in “kindly go get the gift cards”. Other often-used phrases are “each and everything” and “from my side/from your side”, and using “ok” at the end of a sentence even if it makes no sense, and no ? or use of any punctuation.

GA Ben: Looks like Lionked In is a treasure trov of Nigerian scammers, I'd more then happy to share... Cheers.. J
Watching your videos since 2017
Thank you for creating awareness
Love and Respect 🇮🇳
Congratulations with 1 million subs!
seriously, they need to make a tv show that shows situations like this. There are so many scams out there, and not everyone watches RUclips.
I'm homeless and I get emails claiming that I shopped at Amazon or Best Buy receand am due a refund... Nahh, I don't think so! Lmao I'm so broke and I'm homeless at that so that's also how I know it's a scam. Plus I always take a look at the email that's sending me stuff and it's just a bunch of random letters and numbers and/or it has the most generic most ridiculous name on it that anyone has ever seen.. Kinda like Mr. Mark Patrick or a Ben Dover or whatever else. Lmfao. But hey, I love these videos man. They definitely cheer me up at a time like this, it's super cold outside, got no warm clothes or anything, right now I'm sitting inside of a McDonald's using the Wi-Fi on this cheap phone I received from the welfare office so I can at least keep myself busy and get to watch cool videos like these!! Love your videos man! They make me happy!.. I lost EVERYTHING I owned when covid hit. My dog, car, job, house, just everything!...
I hope you get back on your feet soon man.
Stay safe, I’m rooting for ya.
Woohoo!!! another banger
Thanks!
Finally! A new episode. My pigeon can now sit with hot cocoa and a donut and watch! 😁😁😁😍😍
I'm always perplexed by the amount of bank or courier emails I get where the subject line contains a half dozen emojis. Because yaknow, 3 blue lovehearts and 3 sunglasses emojis definitely makes it look like an official UPS notification of a pending package...
Congrats on 1MIL! These videos are just hillarious like Ben Dover XD
All these Africans end lines with “OK”
Also ‘kindly’
The voice changer is new. I love it. Keep using this.
The only person I trust when it comes to giving money is the great Mr. Beast.
Nah he owns you when you accept his "free money"
That little Nigeria sound bite never gets old.
Why is it always Nigeria💀💀👽
They're all the same anywhere they are from.
Russel Crowe: Makin' movies, makin' music an' BANKIN' ROUND THE WORLD!
And here some of us are in Nigeria, studying, trying to graduate and get a good job locally or internationally only for my own people try to tarnish our image day by day. It's sad 😔
Ohhh you and Kit with the old lady voices, too funny!
This guy is my new favorite RUclipsr after watching only like 5 videos
