save four point five million dollars as a loyal viewer to trilogy media thankfully john was already privy to these kinds of online scams and thankfully did not fall for their tricks but he did send us the email to see if we could take it a step further let's take a closer look at this email and see if we can track down the criminal behind the keyboard brother are you ready i'm ready let's do it [Music] subject line your urgent reply is needed looks like very origin capital origin and everything and it came from western union email contact western.union.money.transfer11 outlook.com email reads welcome to western union uae address dubai fast easy reliable moneygram fast dot is moneygram a different company why would they put money gram in their western union description doesn't make any sense it's like it's already fishing it's like uber and leaves right uber sending you but they said hey your sketch line is fast easy reliable lift lift dear beneficiary i have sent you several notices concerning the claim of your benefit that was paid to you as compensation from the united nations board following my petition my petition against the government as a human right human rights activist he's not right he only actually won the right he's only an activist for one right uh to compensate you with the sum of 4.5 million usd go to any nearest western union or moneygram money transfer outlet nearest to you and send the fee to enable you to have full access over your fund note that 99 is the only fee you will pay to start receiving your fund be rest assured that you will receive your first payment today if you make the payment today let's talk about the red flags because even before we've done anything with this we already can spot that this is a scam right off the bat in many different shapes and forms first of all the urgency that's a big red flag for them to push you to act fast you you you owe me um second is the email address this is a dead giveaway and you should always anytime you get an email that you think may possibly not be legitimate is don't take their word for it when they put like this right here says western union uh is the name but anyone can put whatever name of their of their sender right what you always want to do is make sure you expand all the information and see the actual email address it's coming from is in this case it's it's not western union at all it's something at outlook anybody can open outlook anyone can open gmail so they're posing as another company so that's another big red flag most importantly is the fact that you're being promised money um and that they're asking you for money to receive that money so always be on the lookout give me your money before i'm gonna give my money so i sent a reply from my ryan benson email account um very very short just inquiring so i emailed to perfect example you can see my from is ryan benson but i can change this to be anything i want but then this is my gmail ryan b so i can't change that so you always want to do the drop down arrow and see who is sending you an email what the actual email address is so anyway i sent an email to western.union blah blah blah blah outlook.com i love them very simple hi there how long will it take to get my payment so we gotta reply welcome again welcome to western union uae in dubai in dubai is the western union even located in dubai uh where is actually what you say what is headquarters of western union uh denver colorado so they're not in dubai so that's another dead giveaway is that american company yeah that's what i thought before we proceed you are required to send us your information to enable you start receiving your payments immediately space period when you see this many grammatical errors in an email from official company look nothing against anyone it isn't english their first language but if they're claiming to be a company that you're very familiar with in the united states and their grammar is this bad um red flag be very careful so be advised to send us your full information now to avoid wrong transfer of your fund such as so many things wrong with that sentence who's wrong so they want my name address country phone number occupation and a lot of times they do this because they want to make it feel legitimate and then also the more information they have about you the more social they can convince you that it's actually real congrats to you in advance dr robert walton western union head office united arab emirates raw oh it's not robert i read it wrong robson robson walton dr robson walton who the hell is dr robson walton is this a real person oh well s robson walton is one of the waltons the heir to the walmart fortune so let's take it a step further this is ryan thank you for

examination i can provide you my cell phone number to for texting i don't check my emails as often as i check my butt yeah name ryan benson address 55 um moonlight lane phone number occupation i like when we did when you actually go under the boat and you clean the dirt from people yachts on the bottom of the like you know like you you you know that those why would i do that because you're getting paid for that that's irrelevant i feel like when you live by the ocean you know like we we saw it from our balcony if it is a little boy you know what the job is i'm just asking why would this guy do it i'm a boat scraper please send me a text message at your earliest convenience talk soon dr robson walton western union head office replied to my email dear ryan benson we have received your information in your grant compensation fund of 4.5 why apostrophes on the top why it's not wrong everything about this is wrong so you are to obtain an itunes card of 100 only with the fee for easy collection and speeding up transferring of your fund now best regards dr robson walton now i had happened to notice earlier when i checked my phone what happened i also had a text message because if you remember uh i said please send me a text message at the earliest convenience so we can settle this up from a 606 number hi ryan benton good morning to you this is dr robson walton from western union head office the text now subscriber you are trying to reach is not available another thing to mention um text now it's something very much uh worth explaining text now is a very legitimate app it's a free app that you can use for sending text messages uh from a different phone number however text now is used by scammers all the time so if you're calling a phone number and they're claiming to be like a legitimate company and you get a voicemail that says the text now number is not it's not available huge red flags nothing against the company no but it's good it's just but they are somehow not doing a good enough job about mitigating and keeping track of who's actually using their service because scammers use this all the time it was later that night that dr robson reached out to me via text message it's very common for them to communicate late at night because oftentimes they're overseas this one felt a little bit different however as dr robson was very patient and very willing to put in the time to actually get to know me we can already tell that this guy has been scamming for a long time he's got charm charisma and works very hard to earn my trust in order for this scam bait to work i have to match his patience and keep him on the hook so that he fully believes that i'm ready to pay up for my winnings i can also make in the meantime a tracking link a little ip grabber and then he wants itunes cards maybe i tell him i got the apple card yeah we'll see let's just leave it at that and see what he says and then okay got his attention i will show you come uh talk to me here zoom link so i can show you in person the back of the card let's proceed immediately before our office close that's another red flag they always always want you to act fast okay i'm ready come see me on zoom i have an exam in one hour so we can finish this now i'm already at the office yeah with you yeah but you're going to examine me in an hour and then you're going to show me how to examine someone else yeah maybe yeah i don't know [Music] okay that's threefold okay what is that you sent i don't have such time please link to zoom so we can talk and i can give you the card snap the apple card and send i don't have a camera on my phone i think he's getting a little more irritated he was very chill last night when we were talking now he was very like oh what are you studying you know now he's just like exactly [Music] so we can proceed and finalize everything now yes i'm waiting if anything the good thing here the victory here is that i've actually even just with what i was texting him late last night he's distracted and he's his time is being wasted wasting his time and he's going from a possible victim to less time that he's spending with an actual victim so the more that we can egg this on the better now it's time to dive in deeper we're going to create an ip grabber tracking link and if we can get scammerman md to click it we'll be able to see his ip address and real location is he actually in dubai or maybe another continent entirely let's find out i'm gonna take the photo and make it really really small put it in the email and then i'll put like a text that says click to expand yeah it's linked to the ip grabber hopefully he won't think about it he'll just click it and that way we'll know his ip and where he actually is okay so i'm going to first add a little blur and then i'm going to make it much smaller like 10 i'm gonna drag it into the email and we're gonna make this real tiny photo um click to enlarge and we're going to link it to the ip grabber i'm not going to send it yet though the text now subscriber you are trying to read oh he's calling me [Music] [Music] hello uh put money hundred dollars in uh itunes yeah hundred dollar item it's beautiful click it send it okay i received it but the picture is not clear enough so he locked he looked at the email he hasn't tried to expand it yet okay he's working it's a cat and mouse game it's always like this it's always come with jerry a lot of back and forth a lot of just what seems like nothing happening until you get it and then it's like it's worth it did you get it i need to go for the director of western union you're not so good at text now technology you are trying to reach is not available please leave your message after the tone hi doctor uh it's ryan um i'm trying to call you i sent you the photo i'm not sure if why you can't see it i got to go to my appointment but maybe we can talk in a little bit just let me know call me back please thank you no luck yet but it's all about patience and persistence later that night presumably when he woke up in his time zone he texted me again the zoom link didn't work however i was able to convince him to download skype and open an account there after sending me his skype email username we can now pretty much assume he has many of these fake western union email addresses let's dive in [Music] do all right here we go [Music] here we go [Music] hello hello dr robson how are you i'm fine no um that's good you're all the way in uh dubai yeah where was wow how long have you worked for the uh western union i've worked
