- Police have arrested a man who, they said, conned people into letting them use their phones to send himself money. Now a victim is speaking out about her encounter with the serial scammer.
Ummm I’d never hand my phone to a stranger.
Yup she fell in that trap quickly
Same here
BUT damn his HOT asf, is hard to say NO
Yes very true but what an arse
@@SFBenjaminK it’s not. 😂
Back in the early 2000s, it was common for someone to beg someone else to use their phone to make a quick emergency call but nowadays with smartphones, there's too much personal stuff on there. You can't let anyone use your phone.
you could set up a guest account for that purpose though
The iPhone didn't even come out until 2007. Before then, the best smartphones could do is record video and send it as an email. Or view webpages as web clippings. Nobody was banking on their phone and things like Venmo didn't even exist.
Today, honestly, your "phone" shouldn't even be called that anymore. It's basically a computer, which also allows you to make calls. There's not a single device I can think of that has more access to my life than my phone. From driving my car to paying for stuff to knowing every workout I did for the last 5 years, my phone is everything. Yeah, unless it's my wife or trusted family member, sorry, you can't have my phone.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 "It's basically a computer"
it's basically a wallet, bank, ATM...
ftfy :)
Not even back then I would rather give them a quarter for a pay phone
I've lived among those conniving grimey😡POS morons from scam county😤!
She don’t want to give her name but her face on blast lol 😂🤦♂️
I thought the same thing. I thought this was really "ingenious"
she's not very bright ... she'll get scammed again.
Her face you cant look up.. her name you can google. People are weird shes protecting herself.
@@Trev_bronco ... you can in fact look up her face, if you know how to do it.
@@vulcan2882 and thats how creepy the world is..
No, he said he was a Magician not a Musician. Watch me make your money disappear 🤣🤭
That's funny 🤣
😂😂
She thought he was going to give her a magical night.
😂😂😂😂 that’s my argument if I’m his lawyer
"And with the push of a button, stealacus yourmoneycus" ✨️ 💸 🤣
The fear of someone running off with my phone is enough reason to never hand over my phone. Scammers rely on good people thinking they're doing the right thing.
STOP LETTING HIM GO !!! ONE NIGHT IN JAIL IS NOT A DETERENT
I don't understand. How are they getting the pass code to the venmo & cash app?
He paid his debt to society in the form of a time out
(deterrent)
And instead of asking why the cops keep letting him go, I would be asking why the fuck people are handing their phones to a complete stranger...
@@Chicago48obviously they don't have any passcode or security features enabled. That's how he gets into their accounts. I thought that was pretty obvious...
@@Kidsollekzno. He didn't...
Any financial app on your phone should be password protected, which included CC's. You can not get past any app on my device without my fingerprint or a password.
Mine is my face. This is why I was confused. Hers was just opened?
Biometrics are a bad idea.
@@dee27206 Because Karens don’t know how to use a smartphone.
Pass protect your apps. Mine even has 2 step verification. .
Mine needs my fingerprint to authorize payments
They are called phones , BUT THEY ARE NOT JUST PHONES . Don't ever let anyone touch your phone .
I don't allow anyone that I don't personally know to use my phone ever. I did that once for a woman to make a quick call. I ended up having to snatch my phone out of her hand so i could leave the premises. Never again!!!
L😂L ie. Loss Of Loot
😂
I don't let people I don't know use my cell phone. Here's a quarter, call someone who cares.
STOPPPP, BUT FACTS😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Lol.
Do payphones still exist? tbh they need to bring it back. The only things i’ve seen at bus stops are emergency help buttons.
I don't own or use a cell phone.
People are idiots!!!
Here take my little gadget that has absolutely all my personal information… I trust you!🤦🏻♂️
🤣
I'm weak right 😂😂
Why do people need to carry a cell phone 24/7? I never had a cell phone in my youth, and I survived. I was in my 40's when celll phone use became popular.
Yes they are!!! There are no victims only volunteers.
Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is what happens when you trust strangers. Say goodbye to your money. Lesson learned. i would never hand my phone to anyone i didn't know.
New euphemism
Exactly
Not just stranger's, fake friends as well.
Empathy is what make people help strangers I use to be like that until I realized that everybody is not good people you can’t have empathy for everyone an the stranger shit I never do idc who you is I tell them no an they do it a lot in Florida they stay asking to see your phone in Florida
Stranger danger has gone to the wayside.
Are people really this slow? No stranger uses my phone.
Never hand your phone to a stranger, even if they ask if they can take a picture of you.
People are to blame. People are very trusting, and your phone is your new wallet, trust no one..
Rule number one when it comes to cell phone.You never ever hand your phone over to a unknown person if This unknown person needs to make a call. Don't hand it over. Do it this way because this is how I've been doing it for the last over 35 years. When somebody needs to make a phone call. My hand is still on my phone. I opened up the download pad and I will dial the number in and throw it on speaker. And then I'm a detailed person. Do not touch my phone, just talk. It is that simple but won. A person said oh no. I meant I need you. I need your phone. I'll make the phone call. Do this, it works with me every time. Walk the hell away from the person and if you know the person it's following you, then you speak out loud and clear and say Hey, why are you following me? You want to get everybody around you to look
💯
You wrote all of that and people are still going to do the exact opposite.
Their easiest target is probably very friendly and tipsy tourists. Stay sober and vigilant people.
1) Don't allow anyone to USE your phone; not even your best friend. 2) Don't store too much money on those money apps. 3) Always lock your phone with passcode or faceID. 4) Watch your surroundings when logging on to your phone, especially while in public. Why was he not in jail as this was not the first time!
No name but on camera 😂
Dumb af probably expected free entry at gigs that weren’t even happening
Right. That’s the same reason why she got scammed. Obviously she’s not that bright
Well so what's her name then, Sherlock?
Never let anyone use your phone !
She handed her phone because he was a good-looking guy.
in whos eyes , the guy is a con artist
He was not cute
Yuuuuup 😂😭😭😭
100%
Guaranteed she wouldn't have let a homeless person use it
Don’t let the sun & the palm trees fool y’all don’t trust no one with your phone no one!.
Sun
Especially in Miami (on South Beach 🏝)
Ive had so many people ask to use my phone for this and that...i always say " you give me your.... And ill do it". Never EVER give up your phone.
I would never hand a stranger my phone.
Don't give anyone your phone and don't use banking apps.
A lot of people have bad security settings on their phone. My password and email associated with my financials. Are not email accounts tied to the ecosystem of my phone. My password manager is not tied to my device. I turn off notifications.
And the basic concept of: Stop staying logged into the damned banking applications.
Especially CashApp. You need to login to access the damn thing. I do not use SMS with my CashApp. The email addresses are not tied to the device. So you would have to have the usernames, passwords, TOTP, and or FIDO Keys. To get into them.
My Screen Blocking app. Which is called a App Locker application. A gross misnomer. So depending on the application. You would not have access to the screen. FYI, I do not know the password the application and the email associated with. Is not tied to my device ecosystem. So again using CashApp as an example. You would have to bypass my 'App Locker'. Then get the login PIN. And since I do not leave any real money on it. Nor do I keep an account tied to it. For most smash and grab thieves. For most muggers. They'd probably get freaked out at all my security and physically destroy the phone.
Also, I do not know damn near all my passwords. So you could blow my brains out. You would still have to hack everything.
Not to mention. I do not use biometrics for my device. My devices require passwords.
You can use banking apps but have it protected by passcode. I use my face. Not sure what’s up with the lady in the video
@@dee27206she was charmed by him xD
Humans can so easily tricked relating to matters of wealth, fame, popularity. Obsessed with success and status. Drugs and alcohol also impair cognitive action.
Exactly 💯.
Excellent comment!! And I’m thankful that I don’t fall into that trap!
Don't forget physical appearance. Many foolishly and naively attribute attractiveness with trustworthiness.
Same thing can happen if you hand over your phone for strangers to take pictures for you.
Why would you give your phone to a complete stranger?
this is why i dont speak to people
😂😭🤣
Glad I don't have those money app or save any pass related
I don’t even touch my own phone
I don't even own or use a cell phone. I don't feel the need to be instantly accessible to other people.
Lol I get scared when my screen is on that I accidentally bought something or called someone so seriously I don't touch it unless I need ot
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dont let nobody use your phone
Thanks for the update. Never knew this can happen.
Last week, I met a guy, and he asked if he could hold my phone to put his contact information in there. He must’ve saw that how little I had on my Cash App because he sent me five bucks because he felt bad.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's what happens when you're gullible, the only time I've ever allowed other people to use my phone is if they need to make a call and I put the phone on speaker and I hold the phone I never would give someone my phone
Only let my mates use mine never a stranger unless I can see a clear emergency
You shouldn't even do that. That person can snatch your unlocked phone and run away.
Beaming with pride, Hey Ma look what I can do..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These women were duped because of how attracted they were to him. Now they're sad that they lost over a thousand dollars. Oh well
Never give you phone to anyone. Even homeless people got phones
Scammers are smarter, than programers, who made those apps. I never trust my phone to anyone for even a second, plus keep strong password on any withdraw….
He only getting probation.
Who gives their phone to a stranger? With how much our phones are now so integrated with our finances, I'd be like nope. Piiss off snd move along.
Where is her common sense?😂😂😂 You don’t let nobody hold your phone for shit😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SHE WAS BLOWING AND SWALLOWING AND SHE DIDN'T PAY UP! YOU KNOW SHE WANTED THAT BROTHA AND GAVE IT TO HIM 😂😂😂😂
I never did this out of fear they would run off with my phone smh. Crazy its common now.
Why would you hand over your phone to some unknown person If you do that and you get scammed you deserve it that's what you get for doing stupid things be smarter next time
Why are you giving your phone to a stranger
Note to self: never hand your phone down to anyone!
I stopped letting people use my phone long time ago.
Someone asks me to let them borrow my phone, I use it to take a picture of them.
Wont they just delete the photo.ifvthey catch you ?
@@COMMANDERHAWK22 They won't have the phone in thier hands.
The photo will be accompanied by a "No, you can't use my phone."
Y’all just hand your phones off to strangers?
One look at him and it’s ‘no’.
NOT FOR HER! IT WAS YAS BABY AND SHE DIDN'T PAY UP! THOSE PALE GALS LOVE THOSE STALLIONS 😂😂😂😂
@@Beoptimistic58Not this one. NEVER.
Successfully apprehended and successfully released. Justice is swerved.
I'll never hand my open phone to anyone (even to a relative or friend), especially to strangers. DUH!!!
I sure wish people would start using the common sense they were born with again instead of being dumb as a rock🙄😒
I'm not letting nobody use my phone. He really think he wouldn't get caught.
If a scammer can zap your information and funds from afar they hit a gold mine when you literally hand them your personal phone.
BS she wanted a date, and now she was scammed she wanted her story out there to warn others of this POS! I bet if it was a homeless guy or a guy she didn't like she wouldn't of gave them the time of day!
Calm down...
I don't know who she was, but she can't hurt you anymore...
@@Amenimunwell he’s right no sane person would give their phone to a stranger unless they got rizzed up
YEA SHE WANTED THAT STALLION AND GANKED HER 😂😂😂😂 AFTERWARD SHE GULP IT UP 😂😂😂😂
He should be placed in prison for as long as possible so that people would be free of him for a while. He will be released and continue with the same crime or even something worse.
That's like some random coming up to you and asking to use your toothbrush... Would you say yes?
Even if I allowed someone to use my phone, they'd have to put in my 4 digit code, before they could make any transaction on the app. Why don't folks have this on their accounts already???
Giving your phone to a complete stranger? you deserve to be scammed plus who dont use thumb print verification on those types of apps? smh
I'm from Tampa and this happens a lot in Ybor City. Our phones have WAY too much info on them and someone can just scam you within minutes. Keep your phones and yourself safe people!
I guess Mama didn't tell her not to talk to strangers
She probably grew up in a small white town where you can trust everyone.
I guess her parents told her to trust people, because they are good people in this world. Which is true, but people need to understand they are evil people in this world as well.
well with that f*n looks he got draw any body in as woman or man ..he looks soo handsome & dreamy 🥰😘
i guess BOB & Bill gonna enjoy him in cell gonna give him some scam bar every day
NOT THAT STALLION THAT GAL SAW THAT BIG FINE STALLION AND ASK TO RIDE 😂😂😂😂 AND HAD TO PAY FOR THAT RIDE AND SWALLOW 😂😂😂
usual suspects would never let these guys "borrow" anything I own
How could you hand your phone over to a stranger and let them just scroll through your phone without actively watching what they are doing though……
Sunshine alcohol 🌼🍷
I been drunk plenty of times and if anything I was even more concerned about what they doing on my phone 😂
@@AaronSmith-my2dh Ditto.🤣✌️
What if I don't have Vemo?
NOBODY TOUCHES MY PHONE, EVER.
That’s why you keep your bank notifications on.
A fool and their money are soon parted!
never hand over your phone to any one you don't know or trust for any reason whatsoever. Jesus, don't you people know what times we are living in.
Never let anyone use your phone.
He should become a politician
Correction. He uses STUPID people's phones to send himself money.
How come her "woman's intuition" didn't kick in to alert/prevent her from becoming a victim this guy whom she probably considered hot (therefore safe) by women's logic.
00:35 that was a huge bong hit !!! 😭
Wanna flurt with roaches?
This what happens 😂😂😂
It’s spelled flirt but yes you’re right.
I was eating breakfast and someone tried to steal it. "Cereal scammer."
How on earth you will give your phone to a estranger ???
Here’s a smart way to handle it. I don’t let people that I don’t know use my phone. So if a stranger comes up to you and ask to borrow your phone, just tell them to go to the place and ask to use their telephone instead of your cellphone because not only do they scam you, they can do anything bad on your phone. Think twice!
#SHE DIDNT WANT TO IDENTIFY HERSELF
BUT SHE DID NEWS INTERVIEWS 😂😂😂😂😂
Do not allow ANYONE TO USE YOUR PHONE
Unless you need me to call 911 don't ask for my phone.
Why would you have to give someone your phone to follow them.. this generation is goofy
common sense isn't common anymore, don't hand your phone over to strangers. let them do everything by mouth
Didn’t want to give her name but showing her face is crazy😂😂😂
I DO NOT LET NOBODY USE MY PHONE NO I DON'T 😠😠😠😠
