I used to work in IT security for a large bank. We constantly scanned for variations of our domain name that would be impersonating our bank. Occasionally we would find one, would contact the Registrar and hosting company, and take the site down. Sometimes we would also buy the domain and park it so that no one else could use it in the future.
@smcdonald9991 as an IT security professional, what advice can you give someone who wants to start a career in cybersecurity in Canada? Having work experience as a network and system admin, worked on a couple of IT security projects for school, and really passionate about cybersecurity
@@floriannsabiyumva9621 Look at what skills people are looking for in your area. Most people are wanting CompTIA Security +, read up about compliance standards like ISO/IEC 18043, ISO 22301, and ISO 28000. Then just practice, practice practice. As a sys/network admin you should have some under your belt but ask your boss to see if you can be part of projects that help build your cyber security. I don't know when you did your school project, but a lot of the stuff you did will be out of date. Build a home lab,, I suggest to build a cloud network on AWS and a build a cloud network in Azure and then simulate attacks against each network and try and defend against those attacks. Use Kali Linux, and Windows clients, get your hands on as many different security systems as you can. Once you get in the industry then focus on the systems you need to do on your job. But still handy to keep those other skills handy. Lastly network, talk to recruitment companies, go to events, speak to industry experts, see if someone can mentor you. Cyber Secuirty is one of the hardest jobs to get into because there is only so many junior roles, but is also one if the most high demand jobs especially the further you go up the ladder. Wish you luck bud.
"Cameron" was definitely one of the most articulate and level-headed scammers I've seen in your videos. It's too bad he's using his skills for dishonest work. I wonder if he had stayed on the phone longer if you would have been able to convert him to the "good" side.
I'm Gambian and I can tell you with 100% certainty the guy on the phone is not Gambian. Our English accent sounds nothing like that. What we do have is a lot of Nigerians living in the Gambia.
As if you have ZERO scammer in Gambia!. Wake up!. There are scammers in every country worldwide!. Gambia is NOT an angels country and it has its share of scammers and criminals.
Yep. They are all Nigerians. Probably got a strong VPN that fooled PGs IP Grabber or they are in The Gambia for like 6 months before moving to another country.

Thanks for bringing attention to these scams. My company has dealt with these FOREVER now and it started with the scammers pretending to be Universities. Now most of the requests are for ink cartridges (which we don’t even sell) or something super generic like PAPER. Luckily, our IT team is always training on what to watch for.

This scam can't possibly be to send 100 boxes of cable to The Gambia. That wouldn't make sense. This has got to be either sell the cables on eBay or strip them for copper.
I think the guy really is trying to make a connection in the Gambia, there is much better cable to strip for copper and they won’t all sell for a long time on eBay
@@Starhawke_Gaming true but somehow I believe his story, why CAT6 cable of all things? I don’t understand, If he wanted scrap then why not try to order copper piping or lead or something
Huh. That’s an interesting scam. When I saw this video and you started talking about your friend’s company, I thought the scammers were going to try to take the company bank account. This is a unique one.
There is hardly any copper in those internet cables. It would literally be the worst thing you could ever think of to get copper out of, they are probably about 95% plastic and would be so much work to retrieve the copper. Why order something with such a little amout of copper in if that is the case, when you can make a order with something that is 100% copper.
This last scammer was quite interesting. Reading between the lines, it looks like he is not a "professional scammer". He needed high quality cables and this was the cheapest way to get a good quantity of them. That's why he wasn't so angry about it: he tried, it didn't work out, he will succeed at the next try. He doesn't rely on scams for living, it's just a way to get low cost material for his business activity. He knows the police in the USA or Gambia will ever move a finger for this. Safe crime.
Ben, Can you show us how we can figure out if something we're ordering from is a website in the US or a website in another country.

I love that you have such a good heart! Thank you, Lisa and Fred
I get e-mails for these scams daily. My impression is that part of the scam is that they want the shipper to use their courier service and for the shipper to pay for that courier service and bill them a combined charge. I've been tempted to come up with some story about how all or our sales are for highly secure equipment covered by export controls and how we can only sell to companies on a pre-approved list issued by the government.
This is definitely one of the more "professional" scams to surface, it seems. The "electiric" email would've probably fooled me, in all seriousness. It's a very subtle typo that would probably go past most people, since the rest of the name looks good enough, and it seems they have lots of the wording down (or at least did a modicum of research on what terms to use to "fit in"), but then it falls apart with the typical "Kindly" and "okay" sentence structures... If they fixed that, it'd be scarily convincing to the average person. Interesting new thumbnail btw. Are you moving away from featuring yourself in the thumbnails?
Awesome video, the captions turned out fine. Hopefully, if you ever do another video that requires that much captions, we can set up the auto caption feature from Premiere Pro to make the editing process easier for you.
Even funnier when West Africans pretend to be Americans. Are they not aware of their accent? Same thing with Indians calling themselves "Alex Wilson" or "Ron Smith".
@@smcdonald9991 I am an African myself, I can't even get an apartment inquiry over the phone with my accent and these guys wanted $30k worth of cables delivered to them on credit?
Just so you know these scammers don’t sound anything like Gambians. They are scattered in countries where they are less likely to be noticed these days.
First two guys are definitely not Gambian but the third guy that was laughing is definitely a Gambian. The quality of the English spoken is a world of difference
Hey Pleasant Green! I got hit with a new scam I haven't seen yet. These people message you saying there is a outstanding toll balance on the record and to avoid a 50 dollar fee visit a link.

If they fixed that, it'd be scarily convincing to the average person.
Interesting new thumbnail btw. Are you moving away from featuring yourself in the thumbnails?
You have one of the most informative channels of all the baiters. Keep un the good work and keep entertaining and educating us ❤👏
3:29 HEY! You copied me i literally just said that😂
Congrats on 12M SUBSCRIBERS
My 72 years old neighbor "bought" a diamond mine from some African scammer for 20.000$. Keep up the good work busting scammers.
It's shocking to hear about the cunning schemes these scammers are coming up with.
Awesome video, the captions turned out fine. Hopefully, if you ever do another video that requires that much captions, we can set up the auto caption feature from Premiere Pro to make the editing process easier for you.
Yes, we will need to try!
As someone who’s hearing impaired, I appreciate the effort for accurate captions!
It seems that RUclips's auto captioning works quite fine also.
The last guy was so well spoken I just wish he used his skills elsewhere instead of scamming
"So I stepped into my detective office"
Really? Because it looks a lot like Coffee Zilla's Million Dollar Studio🤔😆
It always puts a smile on my face when I see you upload a new video! Keep up the good work!
4:36 such a strong Texan accent 😂
Pleasant Green just keeps uploading Banger after Banger ‼️‼️bro doesn’t miss
The crude accent is always a red flag
Even funnier when West Africans pretend to be Americans. Are they not aware of their accent? Same thing with Indians calling themselves "Alex Wilson" or "Ron Smith".
@@smcdonald9991 I am an African myself, I can't even get an apartment inquiry over the phone with my accent and these guys wanted $30k worth of cables delivered to them on credit?
*thick west african accent* "yes am in the united state ok", they mumble and sound half asleep most of the time.
@@nr289 There's a really funny video where a dude from Benin pretends to be John Kelly.
@@smcdonald9991 Have seen the video of the one pretending to be the CEO of Bank of America ?
I just love the work you do. Just wish we could get rid of scammers
Its always the "please kindly" IMMEDIATE flag lol
One of my favourite scam baiting channels!! Hands down!! Get 'em Ben!! 😂😂
If you own a small telecommunications company in Africa and can get your cables for free (minus shipping) than you earn more profit.
“Ayyyy you got me 😂”
-last scammer
Just so you know these scammers don’t sound anything like Gambians. They are scattered in countries where they are less likely to be noticed these days.
First two guys are definitely not Gambian but the third guy that was laughing is definitely a Gambian. The quality of the English spoken is a world of difference
Gambia! In ten years of scam baiting, thats the first Gambia I've seen! Been getting a lot of Thai scammers lately. Great work "Ben"
Some in the comments are saying they’re Gambian and this guy isn’t and they have problems from Nigerians coming in.
If you hear any African or Indian accent with a name like "John Smith" it's a scam..
Right before you hung up, I thought you were going to say I love you.
Seemed like a good moment for it.
Hey Pleasant Green! I got hit with a new scam I haven't seen yet. These people message you saying there is a outstanding toll balance on the record and to avoid a 50 dollar fee visit a link.
Great information to companies out there. If you want to do business, meet people face to face. Let them show you their operations, speak to their other customers. There should be a government budget to allocate resources to clamp down on these money mules.
Has anyone seen Mike Rotch lately?😂😂😂😂
More great work here. Thank you ✔️
I’m from Ghana and I promise you not all west Africans are like this 😭😭😭😭
