This young man is very talented I just hate the bad reputation rumors and fake allegations but when it comes to money get back he's in his own lane and has his own style and that's what makes *Strong widget* so unique and untouchable‼️..

The amount of bravery this took was INSANE. These people all had their lives in danger, but still decided to go through with the recovery for the sake of busting bad scammers. True respect *Strong widget!*
If the FBI was half as dedicated and ingenious (and honest) as you guys are, the USA would be a much safer country.
Amazing work!

*STRONGWIDGET* you are the inspiration that keeps us vigilant and keeps me teaching other's about these disgusting scammers. Thank you and the team for all the hard work you do. I'm so proud to know that there's people like you who care enough to do what our government won't do. Keep up the great work!!

I've seen the bodycam footage; the guy on the phone kept persisting the lady to continue giving money regardless of the officers presence.
These scammers are absolute scumbags.

Bruh the woman who CALLED 911 to stop the old woman is the true hero. She tried to stop her but the old lady wouldnt stop so she called the cops to help. They're both heros but the women needs some recognition too.

A Indian on the other side of the line how shocking.

[woodstream]

Now the govt needs tools to go after these scammers

[eligebrown]

To the lady at the gas station. Thank you very much for looking out for your fellow person.

Thanks to the lady who called 911 and to the officer for stopping this. Banks should keep an eye out for elderly people withdrawing cash!! Hopefully she has adult children who are trustworthy to watch her money and avoid this in the future.

[phuongha]

Let her call Chase directly so she’ll be convinced that she almost got scammed.

[kevinhornbuckle]

Thank you! to all who stepped in to stop this heist.

[jenn]

HUGE thanks to the younger woman who noticed and Stepped Up and called 911! And to the law enforcement officer. This scamming happens way, way too much!

[xrpmjc]

Everyone in America should pay attention! Elderly citizens need to beware of scams! We all need to help grandma and grandpa right now. Go tell them now.

[rosemary]

This was legitimately so wholesome. You can tell at the ending of getting your money back that it wasn't scripted at all when *Strongwidget* proposed.… This warmed my heart today! Congratulations guys! So happy for y'all!

I worked at Walgreens in 2019 when an old woman asked to buy apple gift cards. Out of curiosity I asked her why and she said it’s to fix her windows laptop. I realized she was being scammed and begged her to not do it. I even got my manager involved and we just pleaded with her to not buy the cards. She got upset saying we didn’t know what we were talking about. She said she would purchase them somewhere else. We even followed her out the store asking her not to do it. All the customers were saying we were heroes but I still felt bad.

I was in a CVS pharmacy one day and the older lady in front of me was trying to buy a cash card. The cashier quizzed her and when the older lady said her grandson was in trouble and she had to send money to someone that called her the cashier refused to sell her the card and told her to call the police. I ask the cashier about it and she said they were trained to recognize such situations. Good on you CVS.
