money to you okay that's 500 how long your bank is open um it's open till eight raj will i be able to get the cash out and put it into the box and send it like i did the other time with the aluminum foil and everything yeah you can do that okay i'll tell you the address tomorrow they're trying to intercept the package right now who is the scammer this guy's giving us his real name and real address and we have this llc and everything what they're trying to do is have it drop somewhere else they're trying to get it changed so it's being held at like the ups store or something and then that's what they're doing now and then they're going and picking it up what up suckers we're doing it we're gonna try something different this time i think that'll be better than trying to get him to come outside because yeah we're gonna be like neighbors knocking on the door and like hey i just got my package and i saw your package you know you just kind of okay go grab your package calling me or something me off the hook like i need this information and all this stuff because they're 100 trying to reroute it so i don't know if they're spooked or whatever it was supposed to be uh 40 000 but he changed it to the first package supposed to be ten thousand that was the first shipment so they're looking for ten thousand today ten thousand dollars he just created an llc in april to launder money they call it did you put um tape on the box anything like that stands out just in case it doesn't give you guys a photo holding it down will turn it on and off so it's off right now the lens is right here in the center both sides look the same but the left side is a button so you're just gonna if there's no lights on just hold it down for it we'll do this we'll do it yeah we're gonna do it essentially blinking means recording yeah it's blinking it's recording now and we'll just leave it on you look like a cyborg like i just pushed it once mm-hmm see everyone inside it's not recording it's not recording okay so it has to be just make sure it's blinking if for any reason they fall off or whatever just before you put them on make sure they're recording and then i'll just turn them on so this is what the building looks like it's really nice actually yeah it's really do you see with scammers leaves that's where we're going there's a fountain out front there's like a yeah on a corner find a way to get him oh there's three russian terminers wearing 1998 oakley's that i don't know what's going on maybe we can go into the lobby or something and ask about apartments we can't get them outside and we can't get inside without being questioned what are we gonna do yo no matter what we've got to get him outside yeah that's the only way it works there's no plan b even if you go to the office a lot of places wouldn't give tours on the spot you have to make an appointment especially right now wondering if maybe we should make an appointment while we're driving now for later just in case because then if everything else fails we can't get in the building say we have a a 12 30 appointment i can just walk in and say hey my name's ashton uh i have an appointment yeah but dude i have to because they're gonna take my id that's true you know that's the other thing even if we get in the building all goes great he might not even answer the floor because they don't get packages delivered to their doors so if there's a delivery guy at his door he's not gonna he may not answer it you know if he's smart which he's probably not says they do self-guided tours so hi my name is ashton um i am looking at places in the area uh to relocate um i see on your website that you offer self-guided tours is there uh do you have to make an appointment for that or how does that work as well so we can definitely show you around okay appointment for um uh were you looking to stop by today tomorrow today would be great are you flexible with the time like could i give you like a window like if i'm going to be there between like you know i don't know 11 and 1 or something yeah who is coming to your house i mean i'm not really lying i really want to see the place you're not here to waste your time no let him show us around or do whatever he wants to do and then say hey can we just have a few moments to do self guiding so we can talk about it and then we can go to the door and see what happens that could be like a worst case scenario i think you should do that anyways dude i think you should totally do the tour anyways art can just be like hey dude uh is your name i think they've delivered your box to my thing or something yeah you know what i'm saying and you're just a neighbor you wouldn't even need it you're just his neighbor bro you wouldn't even need a box you can just walk up to the door and say hey i grabbed my packages there's one with your name on it is this for you and just kind of like refer to down the hallway even though it's not really there oh but we're just as bad as the scammers because we lied about a phone charger a chapstick right yeah i know we have a break uh if we go in together as uh potential customers i don't think we should both be wearing classes yeah because we look like two terminators they're like ready to conquer that freaking dog so maybe you wear the glasses and i will just use my phone because if i'm actually there looking for an apartment i would be taking pictures good [Music] um [Music] [Music] he's on the no parking spot when there is a spot right next to him maybe right there oh you can't get in i didn't see there was a gate my fault well then what is the ultimate goal then just answer the door do you see his face that's it well what else are we going to what do you want to do we want to mud wrestle him like oh here maybe over here oh wait don't i think this is the same guest oh my god it's a pet spa yes parking lot yeah all right we'll just hang out then i guess until someone knows when we get to the door me and brandon will go out of view a little bit just down like you know 15 feet away from the door so if he looks at the peephole he just sees you knock on the door hopefully he'll open it but he might say who is it either way you're gonna say hey i live down the hall and i have a package for you right uh it was put in my box or something then we're just gonna talk to him as long as we can until he shuts the door in our face give something that like look i have your box it's got drop off by at my unit by accident come get it walk with him and give him package and confront him [Music] i don't know i have zero service really no service so our list is almost over we have to give them notice in um yeah that's fine appreciate it [Music] this pool is amazing [Music] all right thank you so much [Music] wow wow that's what i'm talking about so this comes complete with an apple computer a windows computer and a virtual oh so we have four floors of apartments with six floors apart [Music] uh all right is 13 12. come look at the bathroom beautiful bathroom double sink this is monster bedroom wow question when we do our self-guided are we able do we have access to come back here and just kind of well yeah self-guided i the thing is you won't have access to the amenities or come back and take a look if you want to come back and take a look out there i'll show you everything yeah more welcome you do that so i'm here until six so i'm not going anywhere so if you got any questions or we can't come back we can't spend the time yeah talk about it yeah if you wanna discuss okay uh first week of september will be on the fourth floor they're still occupied so i'm not even sure which sorry next one again now with the fox um you have to scan on the inside uh and get in from the garage doors and the cabinet box closer everything is absolutely so so i have no interest all right [Music] foreign so so this level here so this area here and then i got one more level to show you up here wow deliberate and stuff um um there was like a little seating area on the second floor yeah um is there a way we can just sit there and talk for a little bit like yeah i really liked that view i just wanted to [Music] thank you so much we'll see you in the office uh as you know you need to you'll need me to get back down to the elevator so how long how long do you need um i don't know just uh two minutes yeah so we we're limited with where we can like just explode yeah do you want to do yeah that's fine if we're if we're done early can we just come to the office and meet you uh you'll need me to get that down to the elevator but i'll be able to see you from the leasing office okay so i'll be on the lookout so just wait gotcha okay now come out and say i'll come up again okay perfect you so much um we saw the guy yeah we saw the guy in pink t-shirts yeah there's a stairwell i saw a stairwell over there but it's probably the same yeah okay we missed that opportunity i didn't yet know that we would be uh restricted on going back there i thought this was the perfect plan see anything we do in front of him like [Music] all right talk to the guy to this guy and say look look she says who we are we're looking for his camera and camera live in this place can you you know explain him what's up i know it's tricky but he's not gonna take us to the door there's no way that's why it's plenty yeah perfect thank you awesome thank you thank you so much for your time really appreciate it fudge actually i saw in the garage i don't know about here okay you see there is another way to get in but boom that's um that's stairs those are stairs yeah those are stairs but again i can we can get on the second floor and it's one more thing to accomplish and is that um that that key fob yeah once you start asking questions he's already busted right boom stairs yeah and he's walking up to the stairs but you need a fab to get in the stairs too huh yeah well no not here not here oh maybe you need one to get in but when you approach second floor you need i i i truly yeah that's gonna be the same situation so i'll see you i have no service what a [ __ ] i got nothing yeah dude as soon as i texted you we walked by and the guy's door open and i was like no i worried one of you be like that was him like what that's why i kind of like stopped and turned around and i was i was so close because i was about to be like oh my back hurts let me stop for a second and like kind of delay it but it just didn't it didn't feel right or whatever it didn't feel right it didn't feel like it was a 100 percent the right decision right here and i didn't want to [ __ ] it up right there that's good then no i didn't do it it's okay but yeah i'm gonna check the stairs [Music] yeah that's what i thought you need a key fob to get on the second floor you need keep up to get into the building so two clicks i can go outside and um i can walk outside and get this service okay we'll i'll keep an eye here and for anyone okay are you texting anything to you should i text him something i was just asking if he got the number yet tell him why never gonna win so okay two things that doesn't make sense i can swear right now that ups just put this box with this big red um orange thing over there yeah in um in a locker in a locker but uh scammer payback texted us and he said they just texted me and said no cash in the box which doesn't make sense because i saw ex like are you sure i was looking at ups guy and he had this size box with um orange on the side so either the bluffing that might be a traditional ups label though so could have been another one but i need to go girls because like i would not know what he's saying because all right just go go do what you gotta do i'm gonna call him and tell him what's up hey brother okay listen the situation is very uh tricky over here the building is so protected we did a tour maybe he's blocking because i swear i swear that i saw um i saw you ups guy uh putting right now with the red with the orange tape putting back the uh package right now in a box maybe they're bluffing okay we will figure out okay but that's what are happening right now okay um i swear ups guy put bugs that belongs to us um he just brought more boxes and on the rest of the boxes there is no orange stage it was orange tape it was exactly like this and i was looking on a pierogi picture and he was holding like this and i got closer and i see orange tape across exactly the same and he opened and put in the locker and i received text message from pierogi uh texas pierogi and said why would you do this there is no cash why are you lying and i said pierogi play alone maybe he's bluffing because i saw the box i was like i might be wrong and i explained him situation that uh everything is protected with a key fob and we're trying to weasel ourselves to the second floor to at least talk to the guy even if he got the package [ __ ] it doesn't matter package is irrelevant right now right but there is a huge possibility what i feel that that can right now show up i'm out come out here come on picture dude walk out any moment now yeah yeah but he specifically had a pink shirt on yeah no i saw it yeah half hour ago and i saw this locker room um the bugs got dropped also and nobody's picked it up since no no because i was like they're closing it from you i can see it from here all right so we have two options right now either you know again maybe they're bluffing and they're just trying to see if he's for real or not is that him behind me that's him that's him i told you yeah that's him let's do it let's go let's do it [Applause] we're going to get this so you we send you that package we send you that package
