I Got a Scammer to Fall for His Own Trick!

If you're trying to rent a house, make sure the person you're talking to is ACTUALLY the owner and not a scammer!

1st class deconstruction of this scam!

The way you describe this it's like a bedtime story for adults, thanks for exposing them 😁

every scam thats been sent to me (hundreds) has had spelling mistakes or grammar problems - they are so easy to pick

Scamming the scammers. This video has so much entertainment value besides being a valuable lesson on how to avoid being scammed. Honestly, I think this would be a great half hour television series. I'd watch it.

I like how he said he wasn't able to talk well due to his terrible accident in the snow, yet he is speaking clear and concise sentences when his scam is in jeopardy.

As a realtor, I appreciate you shedding light on this specific scam! I’m reporting posts daily on marketplace and smaller county-specific groups that are exactly like the first one you showed. I’m also about 90% positive that I was in direct contact with “Du Rick” at one point as well. That name is extremely familiar.

I love how he describes the scam, goes through the details and tips on how to spot.

I was recommended your channel on my home page last night and I gotta say I haven't invested this much time into watching YouTube videos in a very, very long time. I started watching last night around 9pm and ended up binge watching until 5am lmao. You're doing an amazing job, I know more people than I care to admit who have fallen for so many of these scams you speak of. My cousin almost fell for the fake cheque scam just a few months ago. Sorry for the long comment, I just had to say thank you for all the hard work and what I'm sure are long hours that you put in dealing with these clowns. Amazing work, much love from Canada 🙏🤙🇨🇦

I genuinly love how pleasant green goes along with the scammers’ spelling misstakes

Thanks for posting this. I worked as a leasing agent for homes 10 years ago and this is what we ran into a lot. Sometimes these scammers would say they are doctors who left the country on a mission trip, were in an accident and seeking medical help somewhere else, they need someone to just take care of their house temporarily, etc. They often would have an excuse of why they are no longer using a realtor and sometimes will tell people to ignore the lock box on the door or just cut it off. I have even ran into somebody who sent a large security deposit and first months rent to a scammer and we’re living in one of our houses that we were getting ready to do construction on. We couldn’t get their money back, but we gave them some money to help them out.

These guys are jerks and will always try and make it quick buck. I always tell renters to never give money to anyone they have not met in person. There are also ways to check to make sure who is actually the owner of the home.

I’ve watched other scam baiters on here, but your videos are my absolute favorite! Not only do you expose these people but you also open your mind and heart to help them. You’re a good man and we are lucky to have you and your content! 🙌

[jamesgoines]

All these fake names are hilarious 😂 next fake name should be Max E. Pad

[riverjbleu]

It’s really sad. It’s already incredibly hard finding a place to rent. Having to worry about scams like this is so vile

[vistron]

Michelle's response is real because many who fall for the scammers actually know it's a scammer at the same time. It's like being in a cult or an abusive relationship. You know what is going on but you've created boundaries in your own mind.

There's that "kindly" again....

THANK YOU SO MUCH! My good friend lost her sister to scammers. She had severe PTSD from being in the Gulf War (she was a surgeon) and had mental heath issues as a result. They stole all of her children's college savings and when she realized it was a scam, she killed herself. TRAGIC, TRAGIC, TRAGIC. You have no idea the positive impact you are making by exposing these killers!

[katieismobile]

I love how easy you explain things. It sure makes things easier for me to explain to family who I am trying to teach on keeping themselves safe, how to not fall for scams, and also why it is important to use a different password everywhere and not just simple words but really sentences that will only make sense to them.

Scammer tracking is my favorite. I love it when the scammers are caught and jailed.
