Scamming a Car Wrap Scammer!

well the economy's in the toilet thanks to the pandemic and a lot of people are looking for some extra ways to make money so when i got a text message from john valde telling me that i could make 650 a week just for advertising frito lay on my car i thought well this is my lucky day [Music] so i don't know how i got this text but john said to apply for this job by visiting his link and it's just a custom form that he set up together my name phone number address car make and model and availability date so i filled out the form and i said that my name was ben dover sure enough he fell for it and he sent me a text a day later he said hello ben this is john from frito-lay snacks are you still interested in the car advertisement program let me know and i said yes i am he said you'll be getting a payment from fedex next week i will let you know the tracking number have a good weekend well a couple of days later john informs me that a package has been delivered and i go to pick it up from fedex and to my surprise there was actually a check inside for 2 970 address to ben dover i thought this is going to be the easiest job i've ever had i just drive around with a fria sticker on my car and i let the checks roll in but the email explained to me that the payment you will be receiving will include advanced payments 650 and the specialist fee please note that the check payment will be sent to you to cover advanced payment of 650 also the check will be in the amount of 2870 you will have it deposited and when the check clears which will be in a day or two you are to deduct your 650 and the rest will be going to the specialist that will be responsible for the ad placement on your vehicle we will also send you the information to send it as soon as the check has been delivered to you okay so i have to go cash this check and then i'll get to keep 650 for myself but send the remaining 2 240 bucks to the car wrap guy but i'm not able to cash this check because i put a fake name on it oops and if i were able to cash this check it would likely show the money in my account but it usually takes a couple days for the check to clear so if it's a fake check it'll bounce and the money will disappear from my account which is why you shouldn't spend the money before the check clears or else you're going to end up owing the bank but john is in a hurry for me to cash this thing which has me suspicious so i take a closer look at the check and i see that it's from cec development borrower llc in louisville colorado but when i look at where the check came from it says kaiser permanente which is a health care company in california kaiser permanente thrive and the tracking says that the check was shipped from richmond virginia what in the crap is going on so i decide to see what john has up his sleeve and i tell him that i've cashed the check he says are the funds available now i said i think so do you have zell app on your phone or through your bank and i know what zell is it's a popular money transfer service that a lot of banks use but i play dumb and i say what is zell it's an app you can use to send funds what about cash app do you have cash app i said no do i need it kindly download zell and have it set up and let me know when completed so i can send you the zell information you are to send the money to and get back to me with a confirmation screenshot when completed are you getting my messages please as you can see he's in a hurry because the clock is ticking before his check bounces or until this cec development company realizes that someone is sending out fake checks in their name so i decide to increase his blood pressure by wasting his time i said why am i sending you the money i thought this was for the car wrap yes the money is for the car wrap installer you are to deduct your first week payment and have the rest money sent to the rap specialist so they can schedule the rap appointments and i'm like okay is it a local person in my area who will wrap the car not at all appointment will be fixed as soon as he get paid have you set up the zell are you done with the zell setup this guy apparently doesn't like my questions i say i am doing cash app you said he's not in my area where do i take my car to get rat i even tried to call john but he doesn't pick up he says will you be available on monday for the decal to be done do you have the cash app ready eminem meeting can't talk on phone now the artist needs to get paid do you have the cash app set up i said yes i'm available monday okay are you ready for the cash app and i said how about i go take them to cash if it's nearby i can just drop it off i mean wouldn't that make the most sense apparently not he asked how close is walmart to you and i'm like the cars getting wrapped at walmart no just asking i said just down the street you should go to walmart and purchase walmart gift card worth of 2 300 you will be buying 500 times four and one hundred times three you should scratch the back off the cards and send pictures one by one you can use your debit card to make the purchase let me know if you understood do you understand you will be buying walmart gift cards 500 each in four pieces and 103 places making 2 300 this is the stupidest thing i've ever heard i said so we are paying the wrap specialist with walmart gift cards that is correct since the cash app is not working please go get them now scratch the back off the cards for pin and send the pictures what a waste of time i said can i just take the walmart gift cards to the car wrap place no they have to get paid first trust this process i said why don't you just send me less and pay the guy yourself all the funds for the startup of the program was issued to you once but you will only be getting 650 a weekly after this are you leaving for walmart now no i'm not going to walmart to buy 2 300 worth of gift cards to give to a rap specialist that i don't even know so i said i can pay a different way so i don't have to get gas do you accept bitcoin bitcoin can work too alright two can play at this game i say i just need you to input your wallet id and the amount in my form this is where i keep track of payments and this is my own custom form that i created in hopes that he'll click on it because if he does click on my link then i can grab his ip address and i created this redirect url at grabify.link and hopefully it'll tell me what i need to know but he must be suspicious because he refuses to click he says i will just send the wallet id you will send to and i'm like okay but i need you to enter the amount in my form then he just tells me what i'm asking for without actually visiting my link but i say okay i'm waiting for you to fill out the form but he's still not gonna fall for it i say why don't you go to my link you can do everything from your end maybe i should stop revealing my secrets on youtube if i don't want scammers to catch on what an idiot i said i don't want to pay a scammer who's trying to rip me off i'll pay you if you do something for me i am beginning to get agitated because it's an insult to me by suggesting this is a scam i said okay then tell me the location where my car is going to be wrapped this is not a scam 100 you doing this or not i have other things to do uh you have other people to scam you mean and then he stops responding so i still don't know who this scammer is or where he is or who sent me this stupid fake check and if i let him go then he's just gonna keep scamming more people you can't keep getting away with it though i did successfully cost him three dollars in priority shipping so yay for me but i'm not done so i go back to square one and i fill out this form again this time i say my name is mike roch my crotch my crotch hey has anybody seen my crotch lately you're probably wondering if he actually responded to that one but you're probably also wondering how i haven't lost my hair dealing with all these dumb scammers well it's because i recently started using keeps i was doing my hair every morning and i was freaking out at the amount of hair that was falling out and then i learned that two

john he said hello mike this is john from frito-lay snacks are you still interested in the car advertisement program let me know is the pope catholic i said yes i am okay which bank are you with how many months do you want i said bank of america i can do as long as i'm allowed he said okay you can send your account number routine number and the funds will be sent to you okay this is new why is he asking for my bank details i said the email says you're sending a check yes this will be faster is that okay oh he probably doesn't want to waste another three dollars on priority shipping i said what do you need your online username and password what i said why do you need my password just to be sure when you get the funds well that's not gonna happen so i make up a fake account number and a routing number and i send it to him and i say okay well let me know when you send it and of course he's not going to send it he needs my password so he can get into my bank account and sell himself my money so a day goes by and i write back to john and i say hello he says hi how are you doing i mean i'd be doing better if he would send me the money but i said i am fine i'm just wondering if you are still hiring for the job he said yes you'll be getting the funds next week and we'll let you know i said check yes so a couple of days went by and i got a text from john saying good morning how are you doing you will be receiving the payment tomorrow via usps here's the tracking number another three dollars in priority shipping wasted except when i filled out the form i put the address for kaiser permanente the return address that he listed on his last check to me so right now there's some check on its way to kaiser permanente with a return address to kaiser permanente kaiser permanente and the idiot in richmond virginia who sent this check was too stupid to notice so john later texts me and he says good morning the package was delivered to the mailroom front desk yesterday you should go pick up the package at your mail room somebody in the kaiser permanente's mail room is very confused right now i said all right then what are you going to your bank atm sunday deposits i said i deposited with my mobile phone are the funds available now i think so do you have zell app on your phone or through your bank hey here we go again he tells me to send the money to some guy named kimont dortch and i'm like what kind of my name is keemont dorch i try to google it but the only thing that turns up is an imdb profile for someone who played a guy outside in a short film called preventers i'm like okay but why am i sending the money to kermit you should send fifteen hundred dollars send the screenshot of the confirmation when done and then when do i get the wrap on my car as soon as the funds is confirmed the wrap can be done on thursday if that is convenient for you okay so let's try the grabify thing one more time i tell him done and then i send him a link but he says i am not getting it here can you send to email okay yeah it's not gonna work so now it's time to get creative i create an email that looks like i'm sharing a photo with him through google drive but the open button is actually a link to my redirect url then i hit send and after a few minutes he clicks and he's in nigeria and the redirect link actually takes him to a youtube video of nelson from the simpsons laughing at him for falling for my trick he said are you trying to steal from us i thought you were honest i will be reporting you to the police and our attorney will be contacting you uh i said the united states police or the nigerian police and that's when he went quiet so if he's in nigeria then he must have a money mule in richmond virginia who's working for him who's now six dollars poorer thanks to me so i went to report john to 123 forms and within a few hours his form was removed and he was banned from the site but not before i could submit one final application with the name and the address of the fbi special agent in charge in richmond virginia so hopefully the fbi will soon receive a check and look into who's been involved in aiding nigerian scammers in richmond virginia hey thanks for watching my video today we've got to warn people about scams like this so please share this video with a friend if you do a google search you'll see that a lot of people are falling for this car wrap scam so we've got to spread the word there's a lot of other scams that you should be aware of and if you click on one of these videos here i will tell you all about it so have a wonderful day and i will see you next time
