    Good on you for owning up to getting scammed after showing everyone how to not get scammed. It shows humility and takes some real balls to post a video like this in my opinion. I have to say I'm impressed and you have earned a lot of respect from me. I know it may sound dumb to most people but in life or at least in mine it isn't very often that you find people who are humble enough to own up and say that they made a mistake. Mad respect. Love the videos.

    Remember in the 90s when you would see in a Penny Saver Magazines, an Add that said, Make $1000 a week Stuffing Envelopes. Well I had one that said to send. One Dollar to this PO Box. So instead of sending it, I went to that Post Office. I got the Clerk, who probably knew it was a Scam, to give me the Name and Address of the PO Box Owner. So I went to the Address and knocked on the door. A guy in his 20s answered and asked him about the name. He asked why, so I told him. He laughed and called for that person. Then to my Surprise, a 13 year old boy came to the door. When I told him about his add, he was really scared. I think he thought I'm mad that it didn't work. When I never paid. So I asked him what do you do to make this money? He said, just put an Add in a Cheap Classified and wait for the money to roll in. I don't think he Made a DIME. 😆
