Scamming a Scammer with His Own Scam!

hey everyone scammers are impersonating your elderly friends on facebook again [Music] so i got a friend request from someone named larry which was weird because i'm already friends with a guy named larry who uses this exact same profile picture oh well whatever you can never have too many friends so i accepted his request and then he later sends me a message saying hello how are you doing hope all is well with you okay i know what's going on here this is a scammer who's impersonating larry and he's hoping that i won't realize that it's the new larry messaging me and not the old larry that i've been friends with all along and then he's gonna shoot the ball with me for a few minutes and then tell me to contact some government agent about some big grant that i should apply for i made a whole video about this scam last year you can click right here and check it out but i decided that i was going to pull that same scam on him before he could pull it on me so i said hi larry yes all is well in fact things are fantastic and he gives me a thumbs up and i said i just benefited from a great sum of money have you heard about the new united states development grant i just qualified for it and i think you might too and larry perks right up and he says how can i get that and i said you just need to apply for it i got mine in under a week i give you the phone number of the agent that helped me and he said okay do that so i said okay here is his number his name is agent hugh jass a huge ass though somebody check the men's room for a huge ass please contact him and let him know i referred you so then i get a text message on the google voice number that i gave larry so yes it's me i am agent hugh jass i'm huge ass telephone i said thanks for the message may i ask who this is larry says i want to apply and i said is this in regards to the development grant and he said again i want to apply i said good to hear i'll just need some personal information to see if you qualify if you'd like you can send me that via text will that work and he said what i said i need some information from you before i can disperse the funds please send over your full name and birthday and i can look you up are you there hello are you still interested and at this point larry probably realizes that he doesn't have any of the information on this guy that he's impersonating other than a profile picture so he just goes quiet so that's when he goes back to the real me and tries to get me with the same scam that i'm getting him with so he says have you heard anything about ggf yet ugh see i told you i said no global grant fund helping everyone with cash they are helping the young old retired citizen workers and non-workers disabled or non-disabled i applied before gotten the money you could also use it and i'm like that's nice but i already received money from the development grant you can also apply for the again whatever i said okay should i share you their agent page okay click on the link and message them he is agent tom white so i click on the link and i see that agent tom white has a grand total of one person that likes him looks official so i do a reverse search on his image and it's a california congressman named buck mckeon these scammers are so dumb why am i wasting my time doing this well because i love you guys and i want you to have some enjoyable content so i message agent white and i say hi agent white can you help me apply for the grant please who is this and how may i help you whoa lay off the caps tom i said my name's ben larry sent me please hold let me run a checkup on our database let me check if your profile name is still available on our grant opportunity list congratulations your name appear on our system names are chosen in an automated random base your name was listed among the winning people this guy's had way too much coffee i said nice let us know when you are ready to claim it and i'm like ready as i'll ever be so he asked me for a bunch of personal info to apply for the money and i just give him a bunch of bs and then i wait to see if my application will go through and that's when my friend larry on the other chat decides to check in on me so this is very confusing we got larry talking to me but we also have larry talking to my made-up agent hugh jass who's also played by me and larry thinks he's fooling me by having me talk to his made-up agent tom white who's most likely the same guy as larry so this is quite a web that we've spun for each other larry says have you messaged him yet i said yes did you message agent hugh jass yes okay great so i guess we'll both just wait for applications to get reviewed and then larry decides to make some small talk and he says what about you what is going on with you and so i just make up a bunch of crap to see how he would respond i say well the co-ed restrictions have been hard on all of us we weren't able to have thanksgiving at aunt karen's this year we still don't know what that means for christmas are you coming into town or staying in boise he says staying in boise larry doesn't live in boise he just lives up the street but good for him for trying to be clever anyway i decide to call him out on going silent with agent jass and i say i just messaged agent jess and he has not heard from you he needs your address to verify so then larry says doing that right now so then larry starts texting agent jas saying hello and then i i mean agent jass says hi larry ben just gave me your address and he gives me his name again and then i say thanks i'll start the process and have more info soon right now the grant has set aside 7 500 for senior citizens as part of the stimulus package passed by congress earlier this year we need to act quick because the funds aren't available after december 31st to speed things up just let me know how you prefer to be paid we can direct deposit into your bank or we can mail a check to the address ben gave and then freaking larry goes quiet because once again he's too dumb to come up with a way to claim his money and that's when he turns into agent tom and writes me back with instructions on how to claim my money you were to pay 500 for the delivery fees and clearance fees to your winning money wow so i go back to larry and i say holy crap they want me to pay 500 larry says i paid 700 to get my money if i knew this is real i would have choosed higher i said well i don't have 500 on me you can tell them how much you can afford and then i come up with a great idea i say well what if you lend me 500 then i pay you back when i get my big money i don't have if i have i will give you can tell them how much you can afford and i thought well if you would just write agent jazz back you'd get your money and then you can lend it to me you idiot i said tell the agent you want direct deposit then you'll get your 7 500 then you can lend me 500 i can't right now i think you should go and borrow it from the bank okay so that's not going to work i go back to agent tom and i say why am i getting this money again and he says is your right my right did you know that you have rights the constitution says you do and then tom says are you ready to make the payment now this is such a stupid scam are there really people out there who send 500 because they think that they're going to get a payment of 140 000 from this idiot i say sure do you have any walmart store in your area there i said i think so go to the store and purchase walmart gift card of 100 and five pieces how many minutes would it take you to reach there okay so since western union has gotten so strict on who you can send money to i guess they've resorted to gift cards which can easily be exchanged for bitcoin which is also really bizarre to think that some people believe that you can pay the government with walmart gift cards anyway i say well it's quite far but i can get gift cards closer will these cards work and what i've done is i've created a link at grabify.link that will snag his ipinfo telling me where he is right now if he clicks on it but facebook doesn't allow me to send this kind of a link so i've got somehow text it to him so i tell agent tom that my battery is dying and i need him to text me so he does and he says are you there with me i said yes he said go to the store and purchase walmart gift card of in five pieces let me know once you get that okay i said i'll have them soon okay no problem let me know once you get it okay so i wait a couple of minutes and then i say what do i do when i get them you will have to scratch the bat code gently and send it to me here with the receipt so then i create another graphify link to an image of a random gift card and i send it to him and the fool does in fact click on my link let's find out where he is oh it's nigeria why is it always nigeria tom says scratch the back code of the card and send it to me here with the receipt and then i said i will do that when you do something for me what's that i said i run a youtube channel and i need to do some marketing since you're in lagos nigeria will you hold up a sign outside on a street that says subscribe to pleasant green on youtube if you do that i'll send you the gift card info and then he plays dumb and he's like what do you mean by lagos nigeria oh this idiot i said look i just hacked your ip address and i sent him an image then a minute later he says kindly send the card and the receipt so that i can use it to confirm your winning money i said if you're not going to send me the picture that i asked for then kindly shut up and leave me alone and then he left me alone but a day later larry writes me back and he says hello i said hi my delivery money i said okay take a picture of where you are and send it to me so he takes a screenshot of some random house he found on google maps i said you stole that from google i can see the google markings you're in nigeria he said what do you mean holy crap these people i said do as i ask or go away my friend told me about this grant i don't understand and i'm like okay let me help you i'm in usa you're in nigeria i need someone in nigeria to hold up a sign that says subscribe to pleasant green on youtube and then i need a picture if you do this i'll pay you 100 if you don't i will find someone else to do it understand and then larry went quiet again so let me just take a minute here and say that i know that i've got a lot of guys in nigeria that watch my videos in fact i've had about 7 000 views from nigeria just in the last few days and if you're in nigeria and you're watching right now i just want to point out how stupid your friend was i offered him a hundred dollars if he would just take a simple picture for me and he just wouldn't do it i don't know if he didn't believe me or what but it's his loss and since he's not going to take me up on my offer i'm going to extend the offer to all of you and so if you're in nigeria or ghana or kenya or somewhere in africa and you want to make some money honestly then do what this idiot didn't do and take a picture for me just go out in the street and have a buddy hold up a sign that says subscribe to pleasant green on youtube you can hide your face but send me a picture you can send it to me on instagram my username is pleasantgrn i couldn't get a handle with the full name so it's just pleasant grn i think some marijuana dealer got the real handle but i'm going to give a 25 walmart gift card to the 10 best pictures i get no questions asked the 10 pictures that i like the most get a gift card except whoever takes the best picture gets a 100 walmart gift card actually make that two 100 walmart gift cards [Music] i'm gonna take all the money that i make off this video and i'm gonna give it to the good people of nigeria but you guys gotta work for it i'm looking for photos that are the highest quality or the most creative or the ones that make me laugh so who out there is gonna give me what i need i'll have these gift cards sitting on my desk and i'll scratch them off and i'll send them to you or whatever you want but only if you've got one of the top 10 best pictures so quit your scamming your goofballs and go do something worthwhile and if you do i'll reward you for it and i'll make another video showing everybody how you did so we're all counting on you guys so go out there with your phones find some poster board and show us what nigeria is capable of [Music] you
