I Worked for a Nigerian Scam!

the other day I tried to sell my old couches on a website called ASL classifieds where are you Nigeria he said we create fake employment for people to work as dispatcher and lure them to ship check for us I might be dealing with the Edward Snowden of Nigeria so Emanuel told me that the way these Nigerian scammers send their fake checks is by recruiting unemployed Americans by making them think that they're working as payroll agents and if I was gonna bring this operation down I needed to infiltrate the company so I contacted the recruiting manager Raymond Scott to see if they were hiring and he said yes I thought if I could get them to hire me then maybe I could find out exactly how this all works and burn it down from the inside so he said where did you see our post from and when will you like to get started I said later tonight or sometime tomorrow I found the web site on Google and he believed me he said we have three positions available may I ask which one you're interested in it said I saw one regarding payroll and sending checks okay great and that's when Raymond started to explain my duties he said what you will be doing is printing and mailing out a payroll check sent to you via email at your home with the client information our organization information also the signature on them and print them on Varitek paper also printing out the postage shipping labels sent to you on whippersnapper and glue them at the back of each envelope and put each checks inside their envelopes and take them to the nearest USPS around.you with our postage been paid already and drop them to the drop box or have them scan with our information given to you each week and you will be getting paid bi-weekly via direct deposit so let us know if you're interested wow it all sounds very familiar but I said very interested okay great do you have a computer printer and scanner I do okay do you have a Google hangout account so you can chat with the recruiting manager well I thought I was chatting with the recruiting manager but I go to Google hangout apparently this is their preferred method of communication okay so I'm here editing this video and here's the weird thing about this Raymond Scott guy I do a Google image search for his picture and it leads me to an Instagram account for a Robert Collins and here's what's even more weird all of his friends accounts were created on the same day and they all follow the zoosk dating app so not only as he ripped off some guy's profile and images but he's also involved in romance scams so here I was chatting with Raymond Scott and he said he would send me an application where I could formally apply for the job so after getting it in my email I just entered a bunch of crap including some random stock photo and I emailed it back to them to see if they would fall for it and if I qualified for the job and the next morning I got an email informing me that I had been hired and my first assignment was to go and buy some blank cheque paper and envelopes but the cheque paper was like $40.00 and I was like forget that but Raymond wasn't gonna give me any work unless he knew that I had the materials so I went through a manuals materials and I found a picture that he had set me up some blank checks and I sent it to Raymond and it looks like he fell for it so Raymond sent me my first two checks to print out he said download them and print them on each cheque paper then scan it back when you printed them on check paper so we can see how it looks or if your printer need adjustment okay so these two checks were from Valero Energy and Metro petroleum for a hundred and thirty thousand dollars holy crap someone's gonna get scammed out of a ton of money please say or enter the full account number as it appears on the check sorry but we could not verify the account number so here is my test and I knew that if I didn't do it he asked if I didn't print out these checks and take a picture I was gonna get fired on the spot and I would never get the information that I needed but printing checks like this is illegal so I thought how am I gonna do this how am I going to make him think that he can trust me so I went and googled and found a template of the check paper then I took his check files and with a little Photoshop I laid the image of his check on the paper to make it look like I had actually printed it then I just took a picture of the check on my Green and I hope that rainy would fall for it and he fell for it he said you will need to cut off the duplicate from the checks while I send you the shipping label so then he sent me to prepaid labels for the two checks these were for two women one was in Texas and the other one was living in Ohio and after Google mapping the address as it looked like they were these little houses in some rural areas now there's no way to know for sure but I suspect that these are two poor little old ladies who think that some big oil companies have reached out to them and are willing to pay them a hundred and thirty thousand dollars for a little piece of their land they're about to lose their entire fortune and I'm not gonna let that happen but if Raymond doesn't see some tracking on his packages soon I'm gonna lose my job so I went to work [Music] [Music] just like that I was sending a warning sign to every check recipient of Iowa's assigns no one is going to be scammed by these guys as long as I was and a couple of days later I think I may have lost my job you are so stupid for putting this is a scam to the check I am blocking you right now [Music]

Shouldn't he contact the FBI and such?

I don't understand.

1. Send people fake check

2. ???

3. Profit

Where does the money come from? How are you scamming them?

[u/SnowflakesAloft]

Kinda lame

I love these kind of videos. I got hooked on them after watching several of James Veitch’s comedy routines regarding scammers. Too funny!

I was confused for half a second when I saw the labels, as those are FedEx labels. Then I looked in to it, and saw FedEx has a program with USPS, so no longer fishy

You must listen to me... you must listen to me.... you must listen to me. Lol.

The label on the package doesn't work here. USPS works with FedEx on some ground parcels but not with Fed-ex express labels, which is in the video. Fed-ex and USPS only work together with certain labels which are Fed-ex smart post and USPS Parcel Select with the FO1 label.

Either this isn't real, or he had to of gotten his package returned but didn't say anything.
