    It crazy how much dishonesty is going on these days with sales , dating apps, investments etc. Amazon sells imitation $100 bills for a novelty. They look slightly different and are a little larger. It would be fun to get a couple stacks of them and go through and give these people a taste of their own medicine. I had a phone scammer spinning his head one evening and he finally got so frustrated he hung up. Dip shit couldn’t handle it. Great video as always.

    My wife and I got scammed out of 18700 dollars on an rv scam. It was from a supposed RV dealer from Iowa. I live in California and they were going to deliver it to me. They sent me emails containing their tax I.d. Number, Iowa DOT number, business license, etc. It all looked legit. I wired ( big mistake) them $18700, which for the motorhome listed was a great price. The day it was supposed to be delivered, we received a text saying the motorhome was in a wreck and damaged beyond repair. They said to contact our bank for a refund. Since the money had been wired 5 days prior, and they had cashed it out, there was no recovery. Our bank tried for 2 weeks to reverse the wire but we’re unsuccessful. So, lesson learned. I guess it could have been worse, since they had rigs listed as much as 60,000 dollars. We’ll just hayto chalk it up to life’s lessons.

    It amazes me how many people fall for these obvious scams. I'll grant that some have gotten more sophisticated over the last few years, but this one is so blatantly obvious hearing him over the phone.

    Lots of Facebook scammers in the marketplace section. Facebook does nothing about it. If it’s to good to be true it’s a scam.

  • @dansanpedro5484
    @dansanpedro5484 Год назад +1

    The thing is most of these scammers operate outside of the US so once someone wired the money, it is gone and there's no way to get it back.

  • @lorrieleaver2447
    @lorrieleaver2447 Год назад +1

    Thank goodness you spotted the ad Andrew. Personally I would never buy a coach without meeting either Bradley or yourself and that would be after an inspection and report.
    It’s hard work to create a good reputation in the trade and it’s gone overnight if you are duped by con artists. You need to be vigilant and not part with a penny if you have any doubts. Brad has worked so hard to gain his reputation and I would like to know his reaction if possible.
    Well done and well spotted Andrew 👏👏♥️

    @chucklenz9011 Год назад +2

    I’ve done this with scammers before and I just love screwing over these guys. You know he sounds just like the guy I had who wanted $250.00 for something and he even knew that the local Walmart store had a debt card to cash machine and where it was located. I was about 5 miles from the store and they were going to have someone there to collect the cash and deposit it in the the local Wells Fargo branch where we were staying. A lot of fun screwing them around. Eventually they quit calling me trying to get money.

    Andrew, this has become all to Common in the real estate industry. I am surprised that they’re now attacking RV resales. Please advise your followers never never send any money to anyone for a deposit. And in this case I suggest you see touch and feel the coach that you’re interested in Travel safe. Thomyt

    Don't expect Facebook to do anything about these scams. They've been going on for at least 10 years and Facebook hasn't done a thing. Zucky doesn't care if his users get ripped off. He's just worried about them saying something he something he doesn't like.

    @tiffanystokes2046 Год назад +2

    I almost got scammed around Christmas time, not for a coach, but some of these people who are the scammers are very good at what they do. I came so close to giving my birthdate, my social security number and my phone number. Thank God at the last minute that something just did not seem right with the situation and I hung up on the person. It’s sad to say this, but I found out that a lot of the scammers out there are from India and live in India. But I’m glad you caught that like you did!! The person you guys were talking to definitely has an accent so I’m not sure where they are from but I just can’t believe the nerve of some people! I think the folks at the motor coach store I should have someone investigate that whole situation. God only knows how many victims those scammers have gotten money from. And if not stopped how many more victims will they steal from? 🤦‍♀️Smh!

    I don't know why FB allows this. I've reported this type of scam numerous times to them and always get this reply: We didn't remove the listing thanks again for your report. This information helps us reduce unwanted content for you and others.
    We use a combination of technology and human reviewers to process reports and identify content that goes against our Community Standards. In this case, we did not remove the content you reported."
    It's a shame because there are many that trust FB screening process but I think they mainly use Ai and these scammers have figured out how to use that to their advantage somehow most likely.

    Sadly enough? Listen to the accent of the scammer on the phone; this is happening more and more. These scams are originating overseas, most of them all in the same country. I don't trust ANYONE I don't know on the phone anymore when I hear certain accents.
