You shouldn’t have censored the account of the dude who scammed you. I would have probably tried to move earth and sky to take him down if the guy had scammed me for cash like that.
Fecho, from what I know, (And I don't know much so don't trust me completely on this) A youtube account can be banned for actively sending hate towards a person. Even if they're a horrible person.
Amen to that, I mean not only the scammers but the double standards, one sided political talks of idiots shouting their opinions convinced it’s facts because they are loudly saying them, the Kpoop Stans strangling people for not knowing the difference between the band members, it just sucks
I think you definitely should've revealed his info, I personally wouldn't have done anything but I'd sleep soundly knowing a lot of other people would.
The sad thing is, I once dated a girl who was this stupid/desperate. Then again, she dated me so that should have been a red flag right there. More details in the replies.
Story: She had an iPhone with Boost Mobile that she wanted to switch to my network (Metro by T-Mobile). Phones are locked to the network you brought it from until certain time conditions are met. This prevents someone from getting an iPhone 13 from Verizon and then bring it to Striaght Talk for a cheaper plan. However, she only had the phone for a few months so there was no way in hell Boost was going to unlock it so it could be used on a different network. So after a quick Google search, we found an "Universal SIM Unlock kit" being sold by some random website that only took payment by card only. No PayPal or credit card manager app like Apple Pay. I was ready to throw in the towel but she was dead set on trying to get the damn thing to get her previous iPhone to work again. So she spent $18 (plus international shipping) to get the SIM kit. Shockingly enough, the SIM kit did arrive eventually. But it didn't come with instructions, and neither of us knew what to do with it. Tried multiple RUclips videos to make the damn thing work, but it didn't. She said that she would have asked for a refund for me (since it was my money) but she didn't. I guess she figured since it didn't come out of *her* wallet, that there was no urgency to get a refund. 😑 That is my story sorry if it was long. Watching this brought up old memories of when I was gullible on the internet.

Dude, this is the best possible thing you could've done about a mistake like this. It happens more often than you'd think so glad you turned the situation around into a funne ejucashun veedio for the rest of us knuckle draggers. Keep it up mang
Well, at the very least you did in fact get a hilarious video out of this ordeal Not sure how much of a consolation that is, but something's better than nothing? Eh
The same thing happened to my sister when switches were all out at every store at the start of quarantine. He was selling it for $250, and my sister went through with it and he started flipping out after the payment. Twitter is full of this shit. He was in the same state as us, in a not too far town, so we should have been more sketched out when he said he couldn't do the deal in person. Lesson of today: Twitter is not ebay
This almoooooost happened to me too yesterday, but in the final second I realized it was sketchy and stopped immediately. Lucky me, since I later found out it was actually a scammer indeed.
Thank god Bugsnax is also on the PS4. The game is only $25 on the system, too. I highly recommend it. Young Horses is an awesome company, and this is their best game yet! It even has the voices of Ryuji, Sasuke, Sonic, Morgana, Rita Repulsa, and The Incredible Hulk in it.
You know Uncle AL,Even when you got ripped off and blamed for something he lied about,You kept calm and sound to that guy and didn’t make a fuss about it Seriously what a Chad👌
Can confirm that when someone is trying to rip you off they will themselves act sketch to try to scare you into just obliging to their conditions. I know because something very similar happened to me once and I lost my psn account for a second lol
I work at walmart and I've seen people go into a breakdown because the didn't get a ps5 we literally told these people like 20 times we cannot guarantee a ps5 for everyone
Worse I've ever had is I was scammed out of $20 ten years ago. I'm glad it only took $20 for me to learn the lesson, and hopefully everyone else will learn that lesson from you here!
Good video, Al. Only problem I have is that the ad appears in the middle of the video, and I think that could inadvertently drive people to click off. Maybe in the future, save it for the end?
If buying and selling Trading Cards online has taught me anything, it's never ever send Friends & Family via PayPal, ALWAYS use Goods & Services no matter what
Anyone who says to send money through “friends and family” for PayPal. Is a potential scammer! NEVER SEND THROUGH FRIENDS AND FAMILY, UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT PERSON PERSONALLY!!! I tell all my buyers, purchase protection only!
I'm 99% sure this Same guy/organization scammed me as well,.. same way... found the guy.... in Lagos... Nigeria... He told me about how the scam works. I have all the screenshots and emails. Lesson learned.
I probably should have seen this before I took an offer from a Twitter user that scammed me out of $580 smackers. I'm in the process of demanding my money back now, but yeah, the fact that we both resorted to this just to buy a game console is a sign that right now, it just isn't worth it.
To the people saying he should have shown Clownshoes's identity clearly Al doesn't believe in sending his viewers to harass ANYONE which is HONORABLE and show's hes a better human being than Clownshoes. And better than any of you who would go harass the douchebag whether or not it's deserved.
Why would you give someone a deposit on an unseen product the seller had 100% possession of? Damn dude I don't leave BK (Not an endorsement)without checking the bag....
Oh man, these scammers are getting out of hand... Sorry you had to learn this the hard way. If it makes you feel better, Uncle Al... I got scammed out of $2000 after I joined an MLM (Amway). So... you can roast me, if you like. Also, to anyone who’s never heard of them: Don’t join Amway. I won’t go into details here, but they’re a terrible group of scammers and everything that is precious to you will thank you for avoiding them.
This can even happen on apps like OfferUp. Never pay someone digitally on platforms like that, there'll be literally no way to get your money back if they ask you to pay that way.
I'm still waiting a year or two to get a PlayStation 5, because maybe at that point, they'll have both a consistent supply, and have games that I'd be interested in. In addition, getting new consoles day one is bound to result in a few defective models here and there.
Don't feel bad for me you guys, you win some you lose some lol.
