Hi guys, thank you for making this video. Just want to clarify a couple of things. First, we are not associated with “Paradise Game” and have been in development for about 1 year now. Our server is a role playing server based on GTA V through the platform Rage. Lastly, we are still alive and kicking. If this team needs any help from us, please feel free to contact us at any time. It’s unfortunate others are stealing our content, but it goes to show how good of a product we created. Best, Paradise Roleplay
Legends. I knew there was no way you guys would associate with this game and sorry you had to find out like this. I appreciate you reaching out here and hope all the best for the server in the future. Cheers!
Hong Kong can no longer be trusted along with anything China since China basically runs HK now. I just watched a former World Bank CEO on the Shawn Ryan Show talking about how Chinese culture is to have no morals. If it isn't bolted down, they are stealing it, period. Never ever invest into anything China.
This game is just The Day Before all over again. A game from no name devs promising AAA graphics off the back of an asset flip, right down to ripping off press images from other games and taking licensed vehicles unaltered. The difference here is that I'd argue this is more openly malicious. A bad game is one thing. This is a potential rug pull wearing the skin of a GTA clone.
@@daniaspri9057 Yeah, that's what I mean by a rug pull. This has the same energy as Bitconnect, or Cryptozoo, or the kinda shit Coffeezilla would cover.
@MyGeniusFriend Yeah, especially as game engines like Unreal get easier to use. We saw this a while ago with Unity. Now it's UE4 and 5. It's not bad that these engines are easier to develop for. It's just a natural side effect that scammers will congregate around that.
Yeah, im a html programmer and I know it’s crazy easy to just steal everything about a website ui, you just copy and paste, and then change some things in css about colors and some text and thats it
Crypto-bros never heard the phrase "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" it seems. Buying into a crypto-scam now a days would be like giving money to that Nigerian Prince in your emails.
Crypto bros genuinely think that the almost entirely deregulated fake money that's exclusively used to buy cocaine on the dark web and scam people is gonna replace actual money. They weren't playing with a full deck to begin with
I'm about to age myself here, but... They prefer the Bush Jr. version: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice... uh, you probably won't be able to fool me again?"
No bro, you don't understand bro, you gotta get in before the rocket takes off bro. No time for critical thinking or learning from history, you gotta make that stack.
The fact that people are getting scammed is beyond my understanding. People will buy anything today, just look at how broken games are getting sold for full price. People will never learn.
70$ + for an online game that doesn’t innovate, and dies within a few months. Now I’m not sure how anyone left in the middle class would be able to consistently buy games like that just for it to die.
people afflicted by FOMO with no actual knowledge about scams + old people who only ever used to touch grass their whole lives being lied to by their "friends" saying something about investing in crypto, spending their money after being lured in there, I answered it for you
knew a dude. like typical bro guy. and he was like i invested 10k. i was like oooo in what? crypto dude. and my dad also invested 20k in it. i was like -,- you damn idiot. and funny enough yes he also played rdr2 and gta5 in both he cheated to get more money. the premium one. as he said he deserved more. and i was like but why? he just said to buy every building he could. to flex on people like me :D
When I heard you stated "Ultra Games don't exist" I was like "yeah they were. They were a company made by Konami to by pass their contract made by Nintendo so they can sell to other Consoles". Konami should sue this "company".
You know what’s weird, the voice actor for Franklin recently said when he was hired to work on GTA V he wasn’t told he was working on GTA but a game called ‘Paradise’
Myself and some others were banned on the steam forums for Paradise for linking to this video and the video showing their headquarters not existing. EDIT: to Jetro, please be prepared for a copywrite strike against your video, these people have no ethics or morals.
Literally the second you mentioned it involves Crypto Currency that's essentially more then enough evidence to call it a scam since there's no such thing as a Crypto game that's not a scam, it's just impossible for one to not be a scam when using Crypto. All that said though good work on finding every red flag with this project.
@anon9469 also because the price being so volitile made it impossible to use for customers to use it effectively to buy things. Also the fees at the time Valve cut support for it added $20 to the cost of the game vs of course the 2.5% fee per transaction that Mastercard & Visa take or the 3+% one AMEX takes.
I’m never worried about Rockstar Games. They already have people copying them off the trailer alone. I can only imagine what gameplay mechanics other developers will try to replicate in their games after gta 6 release
Rockstar have no idea how to make a unified control scheme or decent UI/UX, they have legitimately damaged gaming by other devs trying to copy and leaving us with controls that are not modifiable, uncontrollable characters for "realism" and janky multi menu and multi button systems for things that should be one assignable hotkey. People seem to have just memory holed rockstars anti consumer attitude and hostility towards disabled gamers. I legit hope people *stop* copying them.
Key thing to note on the dangers: kernel level anti cheat can be used to drain your crypto wallets, drain your bank accounts, blackmail you, steal your data/passwords, and also in some cases potentially kidnap you.
Some people seeing this video think we are just gta fan boys hating on other game devs that are trying to copy them. People will never learn from their mistakes.🤦🏾♂️
@@trianglemoebiusthere's also always a good indicator these we're probably bot accounts propped by Ultra Games themselves, just like Fntastic we're using bots to get the The Day Before getting into one of the most wishlisted game on Steam overnight
I laughed way harder than I should've when you said they claimed that their office is in Hong Kong only for the guy at the reception desk to say that he's never heard of it and its not on any legal address 😂
I almost posted on steam about the ''This game can't be considered non-existing or fake, because it will be free to play.'' I mean, that is not only not how logic works, but also about the sketchiest thing I have read in last 3 months.
For all we know, that "game" is probably loaded with malware. Technically malware is... "free-to-play". Probably why those old flash game sites could be dangerous.
It's not surprising that some shady that some shady Russian companies are registered in Hong Kong to make them seem more legit. I might or might not visit their new address (for real this time), cause we all know this is a scam at this point. If I do go there, I will upload a new video. Interestingly, the company directory page was recently updated on 2 November and the company is only registered for only 10 months and 17 days. How could a small unknown company build a GTA 6 rival within 10 months while their biggest 'rival Rockstar Games has been reportedly developing GTA 6 for around 10 years already.
can i be real for a sec... anyone who invests in a crypto game is purely looking for a profit, not play. these people are ignoring every single red flag and only have their eyes on the prize. they kinda... deserve to be scammed? the "company" itself deserves to be sued into oblivion too, but it's one of those situations where i just have 0 sympathy for anyone involved
The reason why they ignore every red flag is, generally speaking, desperation. These people most of the time aren't just millionaires looking to invest in order to multiply their funds (of course, I'm sure there are some, but the majority don't fall into this category). People saw the life-changing money thrown around during the bitcoin and gamestop craze and are trying to replicate it in the hopes of making it big. It's the same as blaming a gambling addict, essentially. It's difficult to blame someone falling for a scam.
Can't sue someone for imitation like this, also if can't find, can't sue, no money, can't cover costs, diff jurisdictions etc., sorry what you suggest makes no sense.
@@diamond_rd Rockstar got all right to sue them, they market the game as Clone of GTA. They used Assests in Trailers from GTA and you tell me they cant sue them ?
The problem is if they're in Russia it's practically impossible for them to face legal consequences for ripping off an American company (especially with what's been going on for the last almost 3 years)
@@diamond_rd They've made direct copies of Rockstar assets and are using rockstar's copyrighted designs in their marketing. That's not legal, regardless of Rockstar using premade assets or not, the name "Sol Sisters" and "Vice Beach" (both on the umbrella) are copyrighted by Rockstar and cannot be used by anybody else. As well as that, you cannot claim to be rival (even if you are) of another product in your marketing, it just doesn't work that way. Rockstar is within their every right to start a lawsuit, but the problem is trying to identify who is behind the scam. They've probably already started on something but I doubt we'll see anything about it for the time being.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even be surprised if it’s the same Yakutian studio behind *The Day Before*-you know, that game everyone called a scam (well, more like they just failed to deliver what they promised). Yakutia’s part of Russia, so you’ll see a lot of comments from people with Russian names. Oh, and recently there was this trending thing with the so-called “hamster” game, where you’d tap on it and supposedly earn money. I’m not saying it’s them, just a guess. By the way, they recently launched another crowdfunding thing where players could create assets, and those might end up in the game. Honestly, it’s just embarrassing at this point.
Anyone remember games like Identity and RAW that scammed people trying to make this big open world life sim? We saw how those games went, this is obviously a scam too. A no named developer creating something as big is this is already a red flag but then you see them using assets from other games and stealing trailer ideas like what the Day Before did. I hope no one falls for anything and gives them money
Ohh yeah I remember both well! I almost fell for Identity back then but "luckily" I had just lost my money on "Of Kings and Men" that was launched on Kickstarter, then Steam and began well but then stalled and disappeared with the team disbanding. So naturally I had learned my lesson and was cautious and decided to wait up on Identity first until it had fully developed. With RAW, which was alledgedly developed by some Russians here in Germany, I was not even hyped but weary right from the start. News about it being one big scam luckily came out quick, so that one was easily avoided.
3:20 you can have a registered agent address that would be considered 'legal' and does have a purpose while having a separate physical address. Im not defending the scam at all but felt it was worth clarification.
Doesn't that mean the security or personells should atleast know about the potential Legal adress. They reacted like they don't know anything about any ULTRA GAMES.
@@Apixelatedhedset I exactly know what your saying 😭 likes the background of the song lyrics, but it's definitely gotta something to do with gta6 miami aesthetic
I used to get shorts for some Russian hampster app where you get stuff for clicking and there were even memes about it and if my memory is correct they have pretty simular ui design
Yeah, it's a real thing. Luckily, you only got a few shorts about it. But in the VKontakte there were (and maybe there are, I rarely use it) tons and tons of ads about it. It's annoying. I won't even be surprised if this project is dead already.
i saw some kids in my school that they wanted to "get rich" so much that they played this game with the hamster every day, and my attempt to tell them that it was a scam failed, the funniest thing that to actually get "money" from that app is to be 18 years old, or else you cant even sell these tokens
Also didn’t know if you pointed out but if you go to the comments on the videos there will be bots(obviously) But I did find that a few of the bots type in english but are subbed to russian accounts and have a lot of russian titles/russian bio.
This reminds me of the scam that scammed many producers for there money. You buy a sample pack for you make a song and put it a contest (The sample pack was 5000 dollars) for a chance to win 10k but the contest didnt even happened so they scammed people to buy their sample packs. I am glad I didnt because the red flags were showing up in the email
I knew this seemed fishy. The was already an ultra games about thirty years ago. There was a shell company owned by Konami that was called ultra games. It released metal gear and both tmnt games on the NES and a bunch of other games. Did Konami not renew the name when they merged, or does adding the word limited make it a new name 🤔
The funny thing about the "Par Token" is that it looks like it's going to be an inflationary nightmare Sure everyone gets hundreds of thousands of tokens with little effort like that looks like a million will be worth one cent of a dollar
Not surprised btw, it's a very evident tactic for stuff like this Hype up everyone's expectations about that coin making it look like everyone can get million of coins and become rich instantly, let people getting in make the value go up, investors look at it, effectively worthless coin becomes temporarily good, they cash in an dip leaving everyone with once again effectively worthless coin
Oh it's going to inflate like GTA$ but almost immediately from the start unlike how GTA$ really only inflated heavily around the time of "The Cayo Perico Heist" (1st Solo-able heist).
I put the website on the way back machine to see the earliest stages of development, in 2003 it was a "holiday/vacation finding website" and in 2013 it was a website for "house cleaning" and thing like that, clearly this isn't their first scam....
Man, I'm not gonna lie. When I first saw the trailer of the game I was excited. But after that I discovered your videos I totally changed my mind. Thank you for all the information!
Thank you for doing this level of research and releasing it to help people avoid getting scammed. I personally would never fall for this because Ill never mess with crypto but i know a few people dying for gta 6 that might overlook some red flags
Kernel level anti cheat, is basically giving all your data to a company. The company not only sees your data, they also can do things in your behalf. It's like allowing someone from a Russian company to next to your computer and be able to also write and do things on your computer.
Same can be said with a certain snail (that I will not say the name of because they don't deserve the clout and/or attention) and the wares they push onto people, also from Russia surprisingly enough and also using the same approach for location obfuscation, only it's Hungary for them.
3:30 something to clarify though. Legal address and physical address are two complete different thing but perfectly lawful, lots of business use forwarding addresses just because they don't want to put a residential address in a public registry. I do it too, it's perfectly normal and fine. Wether that's because it's one man company, or they don't have funds for renting an office or simply because they don't want themselves to be found that's an entirely other thing.
I still can't believe it is listed on Steam. I even reported it for being crypto scam and as you said before Steam doesn't allow crypto games on their platform, so to see this listed there is disgusting.
Also the legal address thing some company’s do that, but it’s mainly sketchy company’s like offshore gambling websites that target us audiences. Although legal address coming up as nothing is common for many online services, mainly people trying to scam, or gambling websites all use off shore addresses with nothing there simply to get licensed.
Man! This is a great video with some extra information that is super helpful! Thank you again for your help with this! Thank you for the shouts! Until the next bit!
Hey there, Ik that the scam is gonna be over soon. And also the fact that someone has already commented about what I'm gonna say, but The voice actor of Michael (GTA V) told in a interview or smthn that when Rockstar games approached him for voice acting, he was told that the game's name is 'Paradise' It might be a coincidence, but a very odd coincidence. And this fact is actually real and not fabricated
It's so sad that video games nowadays have just turned into a cheap cash grab. Like what was wrong with pure content? Pure fun and no stupid scams or lies? This game literally mimics The Day Befoe: produced by an unknown company who claims that their games will be AAA and that it will be a blockbuster. Jetro my man you’re really doing a good job exposing these money hungry jerks. So keep at it! ❤❤❤
In Kai Cenats live stream with Franklin , Franklin states that when he got the job for GTA5 he states rockstar never told him it was GTA5 they told him it was “Paradise” could rockstar be leaving Easter egg or trolling us with Paradise?
Hi, i am in the discord server of "paradise" but when i'm trying to send a comment like: "the paradise company does not exists" automatically the message remove from the server. In my opinion the paradise game is only a scam also the company doesn't exists.
Poor Sims fans, I kept hearing them talk about this game hoping it would scare EA into making good choices. At least Gta fans have something to look forward to, Sim fans have a message saying no new game ever, just play more sims 4 and buy more dlc.

I wanted identity to be real so bad
Ohh yeah I remember both well! I almost fell for Identity back then but "luckily" I had just lost my money on "Of Kings and Men" that was launched on Kickstarter, then Steam and began well but then stalled and disappeared with the team disbanding. So naturally I had learned my lesson and was cautious and decided to wait up on Identity first until it had fully developed. With RAW, which was alledgedly developed by some Russians here in Germany, I was not even hyped but weary right from the start. News about it being one big scam luckily came out quick, so that one was easily avoided.
3:20 you can have a registered agent address that would be considered 'legal' and does have a purpose while having a separate physical address. Im not defending the scam at all but felt it was worth clarification.
Doesn't that mean the security or personells should atleast know about the potential Legal adress. They reacted like they don't know anything about any ULTRA GAMES.
You need more subs, your content is underrated, i definitely wanna see you do more gta videos and cover fake scams or news about gta 6
Thank you. Appreciate the nice words! The regular gta content coming back now.
His profile looks like a music lyric account no joke
@@Apixelatedhedset I exactly know what your saying 😭 likes the background of the song lyrics, but it's definitely gotta something to do with gta6 miami aesthetic
I used to get shorts for some Russian hampster app where you get stuff for clicking and there were even memes about it and if my memory is correct they have pretty simular ui design
Hamster Kombat. People spent months farming it and only got a few dollars each 😂
@eyeballjellyforbreakfast I saw a video where someone was on a toilet with a touchscreen TV on his lap with this app 💀
@@win7best i saw an image of a guy tapping on the Hamster Combat app with his jonhson.
I'm not fucking kidding, it's out there.
Yeah, it's a real thing. Luckily, you only got a few shorts about it. But in the VKontakte there were (and maybe there are, I rarely use it) tons and tons of ads about it. It's annoying. I won't even be surprised if this project is dead already.
i saw some kids in my school that they wanted to "get rich" so much that they played this game with the hamster every day, and my attempt to tell them that it was a scam failed, the funniest thing that to actually get "money" from that app is to be 18 years old, or else you cant even sell these tokens
I'm not even mad they are scamming people. I'm mad that I have to live on the same planet with people stupid enough to fall for these scams.
Blaming the victim is peak scammer mentality.
@@cyxceven545 Come on. This is "nigerian prince wants to send you 8 million dollars" level of stupid. Anyone who falls for this is a complete idiot.
People really believed we'd get GTA 6 before GTA 6... smh
That recipe was fire Jetro 😉Thanks for the watch, looking forward to your next project!
Thank you for all you do! Appreciate it and more coming soon❤️
they just did a ban wave on steam forums of negative comments/people
Well, what does that tell you? Strange how this was never on Kickstarter, with that platform been know to scam people!
Let Crypto-bros get scammed. Seems it's their favorite hobby. Maybe someday they will learn
let's face it, this is never coming out
I hope they all go bankrupt for trying to pull this scam.
I can't stop scratching my head thinking how there are still people who believe in these type of crypto bros and NFT scam.
It’s truly sad that people buy into these scams so easily. Even after all the scams that have been proven over the years
Also didn’t know if you pointed out but if you go to the comments on the videos there will be bots(obviously) But I did find that a few of the bots type in english but are subbed to russian accounts and have a lot of russian titles/russian bio.
Their facade is so thin, I could tell it was a scam from just the GAME DESCRIPTION on Steam. No game that looks like that is free-to-play.
Please report this game on their Steam and Epic Stores.
The game Paradise is giving me flashbacks to the day before.
This reminds me of the scam that scammed many producers for there money. You buy a sample pack for you make a song and put it a contest (The sample pack was 5000 dollars) for a chance to win 10k but the contest didnt even happened so they scammed people to buy their sample packs. I am glad I didnt because the red flags were showing up in the email
Didn't think I'd find u here
@quinnmusic1987 oh shiiii wassup
@MidnightDubstep yoooo
i am very suprised that rockstar hasnt found these people and made them disappear like on some Nintendo level
I knew this seemed fishy. The was already an ultra games about thirty years ago. There was a shell company owned by Konami that was called ultra games. It released metal gear and both tmnt games on the NES and a bunch of other games. Did Konami not renew the name when they merged, or does adding the word limited make it a new name 🤔
The funny thing about the "Par Token" is that it looks like it's going to be an inflationary nightmare
Sure everyone gets hundreds of thousands of tokens with little effort like that looks like a million will be worth one cent of a dollar
Not surprised btw, it's a very evident tactic for stuff like this
Hype up everyone's expectations about that coin making it look like everyone can get million of coins and become rich instantly, let people getting in make the value go up, investors look at it, effectively worthless coin becomes temporarily good, they cash in an dip leaving everyone with once again effectively worthless coin
Oh it's going to inflate like GTA$ but almost immediately from the start unlike how GTA$ really only inflated heavily around the time of "The Cayo Perico Heist" (1st Solo-able heist).
Goat! Appreciated Ur Hard Work and rhe the guy who literally went on that Address! U and ur team is an Absolute Legend!❤❤
BRO THAT'S MY COMMENT 1:21
WWWWWW
Mhhh maybe 🤔
@@estebanod YES IT IS, I REMEMBER THAT I MADE IT
truely a shame these people tried to ruin the reputation of the Konami shell company Ultra Games
I put the website on the way back machine to see the earliest stages of development, in 2003 it was a "holiday/vacation finding website" and in 2013 it was a website for "house cleaning" and thing like that, clearly this isn't their first scam....
Comes to a point where you can't be bothered to feel sorry for people still falling for this crap in 2024
I'm at the point where I want in on one of these scams, fuck'em
Wait if it uses a kernel anti cheat what if it’s just a game that crypto mines in your pc since it says in the steam page it needs a 2070?
Close enough, welcome back The Day Before
This is just The Day Before but with crypto isn't it
this is the day before all over again
Man, I'm not gonna lie. When I first saw the trailer of the game I was excited. But after that I discovered your videos I totally changed my mind. Thank you for all the information!
Thank you for doing this level of research and releasing it to help people avoid getting scammed. I personally would never fall for this because Ill never mess with crypto but i know a few people dying for gta 6 that might overlook some red flags
Kernel level anti cheat, is basically giving all your data to a company.
The company not only sees your data, they also can do things in your behalf.
It's like allowing someone from a Russian company to next to your computer and be able to also write and do things on your computer.
Same can be said with a certain snail (that I will not say the name of because they don't deserve the clout and/or attention) and the wares they push onto people, also from Russia surprisingly enough and also using the same approach for location obfuscation, only it's Hungary for them.
Is the snail the snail I think I am thinking
THE Snail?
You mean the Snail which starts with G? And ends with N?@@martinmethod427
Why does Take Two take legal action against single-player modders when they could be going after scammers?
3:30 something to clarify though. Legal address and physical address are two complete different thing but perfectly lawful, lots of business use forwarding addresses just because they don't want to put a residential address in a public registry. I do it too, it's perfectly normal and fine. Wether that's because it's one man company, or they don't have funds for renting an office or simply because they don't want themselves to be found that's an entirely other thing.
The app being available only through telegram wasn’t a sign in the first place?
I still can't believe it is listed on Steam. I even reported it for being crypto scam and as you said before Steam doesn't allow crypto games on their platform, so to see this listed there is disgusting.
Can't believe GTA 6 was born AND died before GTA 6
that token thing is like hamster combat, that was a scam too
big work & information thx guys !
If they were rivaling Rockstar they definitely would want to stay hidden and secretive. Rockstar is worth billions and could make them disappear 🤫
your conten has been popping up on my feed and every video has been amazing keep on making content
Logan Paul, KSI and Mr. Beast do the exact same things using their own platforms. That's why these guys know they can also get away with it.
thank you so much, i'm really entertained with this topic by you and Cyber😂
6:47 these guns look a exact replica of guns from Call Of Duty
Also the legal address thing some company’s do that, but it’s mainly sketchy company’s like offshore gambling websites that target us audiences. Although legal address coming up as nothing is common for many online services, mainly people trying to scam, or gambling websites all use off shore addresses with nothing there simply to get licensed.
morepegasus ahh title
Ultra games career is finally over!!!
Hey, gta6 is better
ITS OVER
PARADISE JUST RUINED THEIR CAREER
PARADISE SITUATION just got WORSE… ITS OVER
Man! This is a great video with some extra information that is super helpful! Thank you again for your help with this! Thank you for the shouts! Until the next bit!
that dead ops arcade soundtrack got me tripping, thinking of my old days with my big brother on xbox 360
Honestly such a goated soundtrack, good times.
Hey there,
Ik that the scam is gonna be over soon. And also the fact that someone has already commented about what I'm gonna say, but
The voice actor of Michael (GTA V) told in a interview or smthn that when Rockstar games approached him for voice acting, he was told that the game's name is 'Paradise'
It might be a coincidence, but a very odd coincidence.
And this fact is actually real and not fabricated
I bet that there are no game and will never be, not even a playable version
The amount of people watching your videos but not subscribing to your channel is crazy
Appreciate that dude thank you. Honestly though, I'd much rather read comments like this then watch a singular number go up lmao
Well made video, thanks
Great follow-up, appreciated!
It's so sad that video games nowadays have just turned into a cheap cash grab. Like what was wrong with pure content? Pure fun and no stupid scams or lies? This game literally mimics The Day Befoe: produced by an unknown company who claims that their games will be AAA and that it will be a blockbuster. Jetro my man you’re really doing a good job exposing these money hungry jerks. So keep at it! ❤❤❤
another banger video as always! heck yeah
Jetro you got so popular that spam bots are coming into your videos
Had to happen eventually right
In Kai Cenats live stream with Franklin , Franklin states that when he got the job for GTA5 he states rockstar never told him it was GTA5 they told him it was “Paradise” could rockstar be leaving Easter egg or trolling us with Paradise?
Hahaha, you said it again and two times in the video 😂! 0:31 & 10:11 "withewt a dewbt".
What's even worse is that XRP started getting a boost recently, so these scammers made off with a LOT more than what _in_
Hi, i am in the discord server of "paradise" but when i'm trying to send a comment like: "the paradise company does not exists" automatically the message remove from the server.
In my opinion the paradise game is only a scam also the company doesn't exists.
Is this channel has only 22k subscribers!!you guys are kidding you deserve more subscribers 🤷🏻♂️
Keep at it man! Love the work you're doing 🔥
Poor Sims fans, I kept hearing them talk about this game hoping it would scare EA into making good choices. At least Gta fans have something to look forward to, Sim fans have a message saying no new game ever, just play more sims 4 and buy more dlc.
They basically use dead mailboxes as their company address 😂
currently getting the day before flashbacks
This is next-level Russian spyware...
Stereotypical
@@kyoguro_rengoku *factual, the vast majority of the viruses that have infected my computers thus far, were downloaded from Russian websites, torrents, etc.
Russians are not bad. The US and Russia should legitimately form an alliance
@@Phai-US I'm not referring to politics, just spyware.
You should be working with coffee really shut this bs down for good, your investigations are thorough and detailed, well done good to everyone involved👏
The day before really had y’all looking at game trailers huh?
Sad to see all these scams like the day before pop up with "devs" [scammers] from my country, but it's a depressing tendency out here. "Enterprising" mfs will take any opportunity to create a crypto scam, it is, unfortunately, a common practice - the crypto has become a trend among scammers, sadly, and here in Russia almost everybody has already tasted this shit
“what if i told you the crypto app was where the scam was happening the whole time” no way. wait let me pretend to be shocked… no way!
Amazing vid jetro!
I hope this video or topic Gets much more awareness
