Nigerian here. I can assure you the dude is not in school. Doesn't have any school fees to pay. It's just a syrup they feed their marks when they've been caught.
Dude still has to eat and might even have a family to support. I can't imagine anybody wants to scam for a living, sounds nightmarishly boring. However, it's a means to an end. Hopefully the economy over there can flourish and then people won't have to scam to survive.
TBH he would pay him for info. He gave info and he held his word... no matter if he's in school or not. Maybe the guy learned that you can make money being honest and woth a real job as well.
@@fisqual You'd be surprised. There is definitely a scamming culture over there with people making serious bank and flouting their wealth. Just like in the US with MLM executives and in India with Tech Support scam CEOs. Seems to be a lot more ground level with 419 scammers though.

Majority of the youths are into internet fraud.Those who're not in the game and have decided not to be are seen as fools..

You guys should try n switch up they scammer idea from the lower income you target that are struggling like you're self and target the high rollers who are rich and dumb
@@jujujunique5263 high rollers aren't dumb. You must be poor to not understand that. Do you not see how hard money is to make? People that have a lot of it are actually quite intelligent to make a lot of money. Sadly the only people that can be scammed are ignorant and unintelligent people on the bottom of society
Yea I think the gov should employ scam baiters like even if they cant get them arrested anyway. (Which they can’t cause of country borders and jurisdiction) well I guess they can get the money mules arrested. But if they had like an anti scam groups that could do scam baiting , and looking into new way to stop them. And then also have people who do like education and outreach , so more people know how scams works.

Yes what he’s doing is horrible. But when that’s really the only option do you blame them? If my family was starving and that was the only thing I had, I’m sorry but I would do it. Honestly I don’t expect Nigeria to have lots of opportunities like in the the US or UK. Life is rough and we forget that when living here in western countries.
@@kvo3542 Haha hey man. I forgot I commented this 2y ago 😂 but cool that you responded. So if I remember what I was trying to say was that I was explaining why this scammer did what he did. I wasn’t saying the scammer was right or anything I was just trying to explain why someone would do what he did and what kind of situation would be needed to drive someone into crime. The scammer is still wrong but it’s like those court cases where a sexully absured (RUclips will sensor if I type out SA) underage daughter kills her abusive father. It doesn’t make what the kid did but you can understand why she was driven to do what she did. It’s understandable but still wrong.
I'm a Nigerian, i must admit, it's damn difficult to live here because of the government, the citizens see smart, but bad governance has frustrated most of them, although there's hardship, i still haven't tried to even think about scamming 😔 There are many other ways to survive, i create infographics for some Indian projects currently, and it's the same hardship that made me learn that skill, it all depends on the person's mindset though, my opinion
You know what it's hard to live anywhere. Scammers need to burn in hell. Work any where. We all need money. Everyone in the world does but shouldn't scam to make it. America is so fucking expensive and the whole world thinks oh scam Americans they have to have money when 98% don't
Westerners think of Nigerians as poor and dishonest and Nigerians think of Westerners as all being wealthy and not needing the money. Both are extreme stereotypes based on misrepresentation and laziness. A few bad apples, on both sides.
@@KillDozer187 ehhh... I see where your getting at but truthfully there’s a little truth to every stereotype tbh, but unfortunately the job opportunities in certain countries aren’t like ours which would make one think that the other is rich and would make the other (us) think that the other (them) are lazy... so at the end of the day no one agrees with scamming at all, but for some it’s life and death...
What's the difference , a lot of scamming is done in the old good usa. Ironically we are so ignorant to the fact. A few places, your insurance, auto repair or most repairs you paid for are likely to be some kind of scam, I work in the service industry and have seen a lot
To be honest, things are tough for Nigerians.. I am a graduate but I have never got a job with my degree and I decided to develop tech skills so now I'm into Data science and Full stack development. I'm still learning tho. But that's better than scamming people.
Stumbled across your videos tonight while watching coffeezilla, brilliant stuff you do here sir, Thank-you for your hardwork because of people like you the scammers and fake guru's are losing ground, how have you not been on Joe rogan or a similar podcast,
I love how you help out when they are being honest with you. Used to think scammers should get nothing in return but some of them just need help with something. I always get a text from these scammers saying they attempted to deliver a parcel and no one was home. I don’t believe it that someone tried to deliver a parcel because I haven’t ordered nothing in a long time so I know these are scammers.
When I was in school many of my friends did it. So I won't be surprised if he's really a student in school. However, you are right many of them pivot to sob stories when they are caught
@@faa8882 Wait What? Universities are not free in Nigeria. What are you talking about? $200 is still a lot of money to many young people in Nigeria. PS - I went to a private school and although we had much less incentive to scam but some of them have hopes of becoming the next hushpuppi or something
On one hand I kind of do feel bad for them. My family came from a country where there was almost no work. If you didn’t go across border you didn’t really survive.
Scammer: You need to pay 200 dollars for the fee. Me, an intellectual: *Why don't you just subtract the $200 from the $2000 and give me $1800 instead?* Edit: idk why I said and. it was an.
Idk what the best part is "Me, and intellectual", just the "and intellectual" part or the fact that 'And' is a conjunction so you don't even need the comma, I'm glad your intellectual friend is taking the time to help you because you sure do need it.
Logically it is a gamble.. If scammer loses :eh he does it for a channel. Or scammer wins: okay this scam will work on anyone I guess.. More realistically they dont know of his channel
If the authority's say bitcoin isn't real currency and as some call it monopoly money why do they steal it off people saying it is proceeds of crime? Let them play monopoly and most time bitcoin goes down so much they dont make much at all.
@@theweredragon9887 No, he recommended the scammer to me in real life, we used to be coworkers, and he recommended the scammer to me while we were at work. The scammer paid him to "advertise" the business(Idk if he knew it was a scam at the time). He promised me that he knew the person and that they were trustworthy.
Thank you for that awesome tutorial! The most impressive aspect of the video was the advice you gave about staying in school and the $200.00 payment for info. I guess the old saying is right...you can get more accomplished with sugar rather than vinegar. (That’s not it, but you know what I meant.) I’ve worked with eBay...closing down hundred of illegal and counterfeit sites. Thank you partner
It's so hard to feel bad for people who actually fall for this nonsense. Seriously, this isn't even a scam, it's just simps believing ANYTHING someone tells them.
lmfao love these stories, a side of me feels bad for the unfortunate who have no choice but to scam but another side of me keeps saying "its a scam within a scam"
I wouldnt feel sorry for a minute, they chose this life. The simple proof: there are literally hundreds of ways to make money online, most of them are perfectly legal. These a just bad people, blinded by quick money making and growing up in a bad environment in which morale is not highly valued.
I love your channel. You are really helpful teaching us about the different scams out there. I pretty much don’t trust anybody anymore because of how many scams there are out there. I don’t even answer phone calls that I don’t recognize. I figure if they’re legit, they’ll leave a message. I also admire how you are able to talk to some of these scammers and many times figure out that they’re not as bad as some of the heartless scammers out there, and many times you will pay them for giving you some information about how scams work, what the newest ones are, etc. Some of these guys really don’t want to be doing what they’re doing, but are desperate. I feel bad for them, but they’ve got to understand that many of the people they scam aren’t wealthy (just because they live in the U.S.), and may times scammers will take every last dollar these poor people have. Thanks again for all the good information you are passing along to your subscribers. I watch every video you post that I can find. Also, thanks for the kindness you show to people. A lot of other people might not do that today in our society where it seems people are so ready to jump down another person’s throat. I’ve been attacked for just answering a question (I thought) in a helpful way. Makes me less likely to comment on some channels. Keep posting these great videos and I’ll certainly continue to watch. Oh...do you have any idea what percentage of young men in Nigeria are scammers for their job? It seems like 90+% of scammers are from Lagos, Nigeria! Also, some from Ghana, India, and SE Asia (and probably everywhere else in the world to some point).
Same we’ve all been in some financial situations that made us want to give up but doing something illegal like scamming is not the answer ... doing good gives you good karma doing bad gives you bad karma and that’s a fact !
i think of it this way. how many people would steal a loaf of bread (aladin ref) to feed themselves or family? who here wouldnt do anything and everything to get medicine for someone dying that desperately needs it. people over there are suffering like no one in the western world could ever imagine or phathom. those that stick their noses in the air and righteously proclaim "i would never" have never seen or been in a situation that requires you to question or break your morality just to survive. i am a vet who served in Iraq. i have seen just a small sample of the suffering. school might not seem like a life or death situation, but not completing school would mean he would be stuck scammer for the rest of his life. you can FEEL the genuine heartbreak he has over this life, but sees no other option. just stop and think about these things really deeply before coming to such black and white conclusions. this is why i LOVE @Pleasant Green ! i know he sees and feels this.....
I am a Nigerian, i have been watching your video ever since a woman told me about you... i think that should be December when you gave some Nigerian guys some shout-out job in Nigeria... you are so amazing with your skills.. the guy is right, no jobs here, and if you allow the money your guys throw around to motivate you, i swear you wont spend another second without you giving scamming a thought... Thanks for you have been doing for us, God will bless tremendously... "wow who are you lol" you are a God sent that diana never was....
keep up the hard work my friend! beautiful comment. i hope for a day when you all in Nigeria have better opportunities!!! NEVER GIVE UP! YOU HAVE MORE SUPPORT THAN YOU KNOW!

@@AITechTrendspotters no, govt is not stopping you from trading in forex. They only banned cryptocurrency as a result of guys like the one Pleasant Green talked about. Stop giving out wrong information about your country.
When you're so above that you just send money to a scammer for his time and answers. 200 bucks are a lot of money even for America, let alone Nigeria..
If I was born into the same situation as the scammer, I can guarantee I would’ve taken up the horrible practice to pay for school. I feel like a lot of these scambaiting channels have an unintentionally xenophobic quality to them, but yours is an exception, you always extend some pity for the scammers and you’ve highlight all the great Nigerians and Indians who don’t scam granny.
He was lying about the school fees too. That's just an instagram begging tactic they use. If they can't scam you, they will try to manipulate your emotions.
why does the scammer give me vibes of "seen so many rich life styles i want that and dont want to earn it and i hate being surrounded by common class vibe" as life isnt easy as some make it seem as peple go through struggle and issues even if you have money end of day best think is make best of what you got kind of and solve issues your own way but scamming money and lieing isnt one way to face issues.
I think that many of us in the US and the UK especially are very blessed and forget how hard it can be for people in some of these other countries. I don’t feel bad for the scammers who act like they have no soul but when the ones like this man I feel bad for. They don’t want to do it necessarily but it can seem like it’s the only way to get ahead.
No you're not blessed, you have bad too, it's just that in Nigeria they have worse. Just because has it worse dosent mean you automatically have it good

Honestly I don’t expect Nigeria to have lots of opportunities like in the the US or UK. Life is rough and we forget that when living here in western countries.
@@MultiWolf56We don't need your pity.
@@kvo3542 Haha hey man. I forgot I commented this 2y ago 😂 but cool that you responded.
So if I remember what I was trying to say was that I was explaining why this scammer did what he did. I wasn’t saying the scammer was right or anything I was just trying to explain why someone would do what he did and what kind of situation would be needed to drive someone into crime. The scammer is still wrong but it’s like those court cases where a sexully absured (RUclips will sensor if I type out SA) underage daughter kills her abusive father. It doesn’t make what the kid did but you can understand why she was driven to do what she did. It’s understandable but still wrong.
I'm a Nigerian, i must admit, it's damn difficult to live here because of the government, the citizens see smart, but bad governance has frustrated most of them, although there's hardship, i still haven't tried to even think about scamming 😔
There are many other ways to survive, i create infographics for some Indian projects currently, and it's the same hardship that made me learn that skill, it all depends on the person's mindset though, my opinion
@Pleasant Green ok, thank you sir 🙂🙂
@Pleasant Green nice move though, not falling for this, i know you're not there real RUclipsr😂😂
Move on bro
You are very based. Nice
You know what it's hard to live anywhere. Scammers need to burn in hell. Work any where. We all need money. Everyone in the world does but shouldn't scam to make it. America is so fucking expensive and the whole world thinks oh scam Americans they have to have money when 98% don't
@@ren-px9yl Completely understand your point, but it's kinda hard to compare living in Nigeria with living in the US
If this doesn’t do anything for you it should make you grateful that we live in places where we don’t have to result to scamming to make ends meet...
i live in the u.s. and we're inundated with scammers. where do you live? (btw that's sarcasm)
Westerners think of Nigerians as poor and dishonest and Nigerians think of Westerners as all being wealthy and not needing the money.
Both are extreme stereotypes based on misrepresentation and laziness. A few bad apples, on both sides.
@@petepeter1857 and your telling me this for....? (I’m looking around to see who cares 👀) lol
@@KillDozer187 ehhh... I see where your getting at but truthfully there’s a little truth to every stereotype tbh, but unfortunately the job opportunities in certain countries aren’t like ours which would make one think that the other is rich and would make the other (us) think that the other (them) are lazy... so at the end of the day no one agrees with scamming at all, but for some it’s life and death...
What's the difference , a lot of scamming is done in the old good usa. Ironically we are so ignorant to the fact. A few places, your insurance, auto repair or most repairs you paid for are likely to be some kind of scam, I work in the service industry and have seen a lot
Scammers don't care to take your last cherry to feed your kids.
You made me cry you you kept your promise knowing that he was trying to scam you🙏 You show him that its some real good peoples out here

To be honest, things are tough for Nigerians.. I am a graduate but I have never got a job with my degree and I decided to develop tech skills so now I'm into Data science and Full stack development. I'm still learning tho. But that's better than scamming people.

Stumbled across your videos tonight while watching coffeezilla, brilliant stuff you do here sir, Thank-you for your hardwork because of people like you the scammers and fake guru's are losing ground, how have you not been on Joe rogan or a similar podcast,
I love how you help out when they are being honest with you. Used to think scammers should get nothing in return but some of them just need help with something. I always get a text from these scammers saying they attempted to deliver a parcel and no one was home. I don’t believe it that someone tried to deliver a parcel because I haven’t ordered nothing in a long time so I know these are scammers.
Them telling you a sad story after they’re caught is another scam in itself.
Exactly, cos they would continue afterwards
When I was in school many of my friends did it. So I won't be surprised if he's really a student in school. However, you are right many of them pivot to sob stories when they are caught
@@faa8882 Wait What? Universities are not free in Nigeria. What are you talking about? $200 is still a lot of money to many young people in Nigeria.
PS - I went to a private school and although we had much less incentive to scam but some of them have hopes of becoming the next hushpuppi or something
he also gives them money at end of the day... So who's really scamming who? 😂😂 Nigerians are good with sad stories. Trust me I am one lmao
dont you get its not
about whether his in school or not
he paid him for the information he got
Who is this Ben Tyler? I only know Ben Dover, Ben Tyler sounds like a scamer 😒
I’m Gabe Itch I’m Ben Dover’s best friend
U r such a BLESSING! God bless u. Thank u for helping people.
Dude, you totally deserve to use that Liam Neeson quote! That was cool of you to pay him out.
On one hand I kind of do feel bad for them. My family came from a country where there was almost no work. If you didn’t go across border you didn’t really survive.
Scammer: You need to pay 200 dollars for the fee.
Me, an intellectual: *Why don't you just subtract the $200 from the $2000 and give me $1800 instead?*
Edit: idk why I said and. it was an.
woaah didnt think of dat
Scammer: Okay, you send me $1800 now and its okay.
Wow
@@Samiozd lol how ironic
Idk what the best part is "Me, and intellectual", just the "and intellectual" part or the fact that 'And' is a conjunction so you don't even need the comma, I'm glad your intellectual friend is taking the time to help you because you sure do need it.
I like how scammers try to scam on a dudes channel who exposes scammers. 🤣🤣🤣
Well he did get the money lol even if it was for a different reason

If the authority's say bitcoin isn't real currency and as some call it monopoly money why do they steal it off people saying it is proceeds of crime? Let them play monopoly and most time bitcoin goes down so much they dont make much at all.
$200 is half a salary in Nigeria. That was nice of you
$200 in BTC is about 90,000 Nigerian Naira.
That's about 3 times the minimum wage of civil servants in Nigeria.

I lost $350 to a cashapp scammer. My friend recommended that I buy something from them. Needless to say, I'm no longer friends with that person.
That friend probably was the scammer
Details
@@theweredragon9887 No, he recommended the scammer to me in real life, we used to be coworkers, and he recommended the scammer to me while we were at work. The scammer paid him to "advertise" the business(Idk if he knew it was a scam at the time). He promised me that he knew the person and that they were trustworthy.
Wow, that is tuff, I been scammed for hours of worth of things on a video game once but 350 dollars is more than spending hours grinding on a game.
Was your friend from Nigeria too?
Thank you for that awesome tutorial!
The most impressive aspect of the video was the advice you gave about staying in school and the $200.00 payment for info.
I guess the old saying is right...you can get more accomplished with sugar rather than vinegar. (That’s not it, but you know what I meant.)
I’ve worked with eBay...closing down hundred of illegal and counterfeit sites.
Thank you partner
I would give him 200.00 dollars if RUclips going to cut me a few thousands for video and fews.
It's so hard to feel bad for people who actually fall for this nonsense. Seriously, this isn't even a scam, it's just simps believing ANYTHING someone tells them.
So wholesome of an ending.
Enjoyed this video. Thank you for your integrity and paying him.
lmfao love these stories, a side of me feels bad for the unfortunate who have no choice but to scam but another side of me keeps saying "its a scam within a scam"
I wouldnt feel sorry for a minute, they chose this life. The simple proof: there are literally hundreds of ways to make money online, most of them are perfectly legal. These a just bad people, blinded by quick money making and growing up in a bad environment in which morale is not highly valued.
I really really REALLY appreciate that you also kinda help these people and leaving them with some dignity left.
Thank you!

@@lostfan5054 it’s probably an Italian demo track
I love your channel. You are really helpful teaching us about the different scams out there. I pretty much don’t trust anybody anymore because of how many scams there are out there. I don’t even answer phone calls that I don’t recognize. I figure if they’re legit, they’ll leave a message.
I also admire how you are able to talk to some of these scammers and many times figure out that they’re not as bad as some of the heartless scammers out there, and many times you will pay them for giving you some information about how scams work, what the newest ones are, etc. Some of these guys really don’t want to be doing what they’re doing, but are desperate. I feel bad for them, but they’ve got to understand that many of the people they scam aren’t wealthy (just because they live in the U.S.), and may times scammers will take every last dollar these poor people have.
Thanks again for all the good information you are passing along to your subscribers. I watch every video you post that I can find. Also, thanks for the kindness you show to people. A lot of other people might not do that today in our society where it seems people are so ready to jump down another person’s throat. I’ve been attacked for just answering a question (I thought) in a helpful way. Makes me less likely to comment on some channels.
Keep posting these great videos and I’ll certainly continue to watch. Oh...do you have any idea what percentage of young men in Nigeria are scammers for their job? It seems like 90+% of scammers are from Lagos, Nigeria! Also, some from Ghana, India, and SE Asia (and probably everywhere else in the world to some point).
I feel bad for kids like that but they are going after other poor people. Looses any sympathy from me.
Same we’ve all been in some financial situations that made us want to give up but doing something illegal like scamming is not the answer ... doing good gives you good karma doing bad gives you bad karma and that’s a fact !
i think of it this way. how many people would steal a loaf of bread (aladin ref) to feed themselves or family? who here wouldnt do anything and everything to get medicine for someone dying that desperately needs it. people over there are suffering like no one in the western world could ever imagine or phathom. those that stick their noses in the air and righteously proclaim "i would never" have never seen or been in a situation that requires you to question or break your morality just to survive. i am a vet who served in Iraq. i have seen just a small sample of the suffering. school might not seem like a life or death situation, but not completing school would mean he would be stuck scammer for the rest of his life. you can FEEL the genuine heartbreak he has over this life, but sees no other option. just stop and think about these things really deeply before coming to such black and white conclusions. this is why i LOVE @Pleasant Green ! i know he sees and feels this.....

I've dealt with several whom they swear up and down they're for real. Only had three admit to me.
Same whenever I run into scammers (mainly on selling sites like Depop-Letgo) they ghost me 😶
If I was born into the same situation as the scammer, I can guarantee I would’ve taken up the horrible practice to pay for school. I feel like a lot of these scambaiting channels have an unintentionally xenophobic quality to them, but yours is an exception, you always extend some pity for the scammers and you’ve highlight all the great Nigerians and Indians who don’t scam granny.
Xenophiles get scammed. Xenophobes get saved. Simple.
He was lying about the school fees too. That's just an instagram begging tactic they use. If they can't scam you, they will try to manipulate your emotions.

I think that many of us in the US and the UK especially are very blessed and forget how hard it can be for people in some of these other countries. I don’t feel bad for the scammers who act like they have no soul but when the ones like this man I feel bad for. They don’t want to do it necessarily but it can seem like it’s the only way to get ahead.
No you're not blessed, you have bad too, it's just that in Nigeria they have worse. Just because has it worse dosent mean you automatically have it good
Good thing the central bank of Nigeria has banned such transfer to naira. School is cheap here. With $200 he can pay school fees.
Are you f*ckn kidding me?
