I'll add the dubbed tracks to this one, you can go back to the original English audio by clicking the gear/settings button on the KZhead player, then going to "Audio Tracks" and "English Original". I'm trying a new "multi-lingual" voice across all of them, so if you've seen any of my previous videos with dubs let me know how this voice compares.
Well, I must say that Polish track is very annoying. I will stick to your orginal voice :D
@@perzyk7720 Is it annoying because of the "talking through a fan" effect is has? I've noticed for a few languages this voice sounds worse with.
For me it was at English already
I can agree, polish is slighty annoying. Original better@@perzyk7720
The ukrainian dub does not work at all. You can barelly understands its even ukrainian.
My Wife and I was scammed twice last year, totaling losses over $120,000. It was a lengthy process involving federal intervention to get our money back. We need more people like Retrievebackteam taking a stand against these criminals. Much love and support from California.
Sorry about that, just don't understand how so many human beings can be so heartless to people like that.
I got scammed out of my retirement money but I was new to it. thanks for sharing will definitely get in touch with them
Thanks for the Info. Got scammed this past week out of 2.25 Bitcoin.
I had one call telling me I would be arrested due to not going to court. He said i could pay the fine over the phone or the police would be there in 20 minutes. I told him I'd put the coffee on and make some donuts. There was silence for a few seconds then he hung up.
3 hots and a cot and lots of interesting friends. Hmmm. Ok send ‘em. LOL
When I first started watching scam-baiting videos, I thought it was ridiculous that scammers would say that there are multiple sheriffs coming to arrest the person they're calling, but since I started watching corrupt-cop videos last year, I now know that cops can't do ANYTHING on their own, not even wipe without half the department for "backup", so that's actually realistic. 🤦
Hilarious reply! I'm laughing picturing the scammer's face.
I have asked them if the police coming to arrest me are good looking! 🤣
Coffee and donuts….🤣 that’s hysterical…
Imagine thinking Meta/Facebook would bother doing something about scam ads...
the advertisers are putting money in their pockets so as long as it's not exposed they are going to let it happen😂
As long as you pay Facebook money or data they dont care about you. Any report is useless af.
Facebook makes a lot of money on scams, so it's fine for them
Zuckerberg once said. "What's good for the world is not necessarily what's good for facebook".
Sadly, unless they are held financially accountable for it they won't. Because most of their responses to reporting is made by bots, I just report them in the hopes that others do the same, even though I just get the same responses that the posts/ads "don't go against our community guidelines".
My uncle who died in 1978 would often say "Believe NOTHING that you read, and HALF of what you see!". How prophetic a statement back then that applies to today.
My father told me to question everything you’re told!
Nothing beats, "Trust No one"...
Its more three quarters what you see these days.
Actually the quote is ,believe non of what u hear and half of what u see
yeah right my grand father use to say that too,
Crazy how some guy on KZhead can find this stuff, but the multi billion dollar company Facebook is too inept to curb this behavior.
• They DO know about it, but don't have the manpower to moderate it all fast enough. • They make money from the scam ads, so as long as they aren't getting enough pressure to stop it, why would they? 🤷
ask yourself how these scammers get through multiple layers and never get caught? They are being enabled by governments and social media like meta.
It's not ineptitude; it's unwillingness. They are a company who care about nothing except profits, and ads (real or fake) pay them to be on the platform
They know and don't care. It is a free infinite money glitch. You are the product
@@I.____.....__...__ All ads on Facebook are manually approved, so they are actively approving all of these ads. The scammers have to pay Facebook for them.
I don't ever answer my phone unless the number shows it is someone I know. I let it go to voice mail and see if they leave me a message that I "might" call back. If all of us would do this...there would be less of these scams going around..
I do that too.
I too do the same thing. Most hang up when they hear a voicemail.
"Hello, this is XXXX. If you think your call is important, please leave a message. If I think your message is important, I'll call you back."
I just posted a similar comment. People should understand that you DON’T have to answer every single call. Specially if you don’t know the number.
Don't use your voice or any info on your voicemail. Keep it generic.
This is why I don’t answer the phone, click on any links in email, nor do I use facebook!
Me too.
Very wise!
Very wise
I hope all scammers' hearts stop beating ASAP
What do you mean? They don't have any "hearts"
Facebook absolutely does not care if you get scammed.
Neither does google & youtube. Almost every ad is a scam
Neither do eBay.... contact the seller Seller says contact eBay
Just as long as you don’t use hurty words!
I only have a land line and a simple mobile phone . The rest at home over a secure internet connection .
How true and when I reported this iwas punished shadowbanned blocked obviously their profiting from scams
A scamer called me during the video 😂
You know their getting worse when that happens! The downward turn in the economy has probably turned product counterfeiters into phone scammers.
Did you play the vid a max to scamer
@@thenoob883 no I did not
xD no way
Should have answered it
These scams be getting out of hand.
Scammers are often so entitled. They do not deserve your money or wallet - they have not worked for it. Scamming is not a real job, despite how it may pay some people; it is a crime that hurts vulnerable people mentally and physically.
as a teen I've spent about 1000 hours on phones and emails driving them crazy with the classic "I'm a dumb American with plenty of money" act
Scams are getting so bad online that I could see more and more people going back to brick and mortar stores
Assuming any brick and mortar stores are left. Have you been to the bank lately? Entry level people using web pages
They'll probably start making scam brick and mortar stores next.
@@clickallnight People get screwed by them as well.
I never left brick and mortar stores!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Support your local business!!
I got the Jury Duty scam call that I would be arrested. I told the guy to send the deputies on over cause I could definitely use 3 hots and a cot 🤣
I like that !
Yeah, tell him you're homeless, so he's saving you having to steal something from the dollarstore to get free room and board for the night.
I had never shown up at any courts. When I was in college, some instructors toll me don't show up if you don't want to. Eversince, I had many letters and I had never responded. I did not see any police show up at my door. Most letters warned you for a fine and being in the jail!
@@TT-dp8qh This corrupt and criminal gov. is ALWAYS putting FEAR in people. We need a rev.ol and we have to govern ourselves.
Next time tell them “thanks for the heads up! I better get this dead body out of my house before they come by! I’ll flash my porch light, 3 times, when it’s ok for them to approach my door.”
Due to the large amount of calls/messages I've been getting from these scammers lately, it's actually became a form of entertainment for me to just mess with them and waste their time, hearing their voice after finding out that they were tricked is priceless! maybe that'll teach some of them a lesson to be a little more useful to the world
These are actually surprisingly good for people who have social-anxiety; at first, it might be stressful, but they keep doing it so much, that it quickly loses the anxiety and the person will be able to get comfortable not just speaking with the scammers, but actually getting hostile with them and using insults at them (especially in the scammer's own language). It can actually be therapeutic, like using ASMR videos to desensitize to eye-contact. Imagine that, scammers HELPING people. 🤯
@@I.____.....__...__ Agreed, it's the very definition of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable!
I aim to do that as well, except, as time went on in the conversation, the person's English deteriorated to the point that I could not understand them.
@@billa1870 To be honest, their English is almost always broken, and assuming they're not natives, I wouldn't really expect them to have good control over any other foreign language, even one as easy as English, I mean if scamming people is the only money making way they could think of, that tells you a lot!
My 88 year old dad got one of those calls recently. Kept the loser on the phone for a good 30 minutes.
The scamming is getting out of control!
Facebook is money hungry.that's why it's not going to block these ads as long as they give them MONEY
It is free to use, I want security, have to pay for it.
Goes for all social media. I saw those ads on KZhead, too. 😡
Omg tonight driving in the "wealthiest Co. In Wisconsin". I'm from Texas. NOT IMPRESSED. One of the Tesla's crossing lanes in front of me in my 19 year old magic winter car. Jerk with Iowa plates were custom. "FB ADS". They drive like legit race drivers. I am irl. These people have not street or track raced. I can tell obviously bc of the suspension non-racers. But they were going less than 130 mph. That would have been painfully hard to experience. Houston rich people,the owner of Darque tan chain I went to. Yellow Lamborghini, custom plates "Obnoxious". That wins over "FB Ads" all day.
HONESTLY, WHO CARES?@@AF_1892
Why dont we go back to the old fashioned days where we actually go shopping in actual shops and actually talk to people...
it's a bliss when one scammer is trying to expose another...
Someone needs to make those cat chairs a reality!
Don't put it past that someone hasn't done this already. Legitimately.
KZhead bad also for celebrity scam adds. These companies (Facebook, KZhead, and more) These companies are basically in cahoots with these thieves.
Instagram is full of those Mr Beast online casinos 😂
Just like banks and bank employees. All scammers. Never give your current phone nr. to a bank.
As long as KZhead continues to allow blatant scammers to advertise on its platform, I feel zero guilt about using an ad blocker.
I’m surprised KZhead have done anything on scam ads
When you put you life on-line, you're putting your life on the line.
Not only online but any information you give to anyone.
Facebook is horrible. I have seen several ads for "fuel filters" which are really firearm suppressors that don't have a hole in the bullet exit end. However they do have a dimple for the drill to be centered. I have heard that people who buy them are getting a call from BATF.
Wait are you serious?
@@Joey856721 yeah they are real, that being said you can make a suppressor out of pretty much any metal can with baffles in it, so even if they get removed people will still make their own suppressors
@@Joey856721 ya. As a member of the liberal gun club I get these ads all the time. I have reported them but Facebook doesn’t care. Now I don’t necessarily agree with the law. Even countries that have strict gun laws like the UK allow suppressors. And you can get them in the US with the right paperwork to the BATF and if your state allows it. Mine does but it is a $200 tax plus the cost of the suppressor your local sheriff has to sign off on it and the wait period is normally close to a year. But it is illegal without the paperwork.
this just proves facebook is the best social media platform

Great work *Briskdeft* - so glad vou are out there fighting these lowlifes. We need to do all we can to spare the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers! Kudos to YOU!! 🎉🎉🎉!!!!❤❤❤
I've had people call me with scams like this. As soon as they try to identify themselves as law enforcement I tell them to stand by... need to stop and activate my trace. "Oh, don't worry, as an employee of the FBI/CIA I've got some perks, hang on a sec." They always hang up.
I bought a house and got mail billing me to register the house with my tax authority. This is done at closing, just a scam
Yes. They get the information from a publically available source on recent home sales.
👏Outstanding job, *Adroitkey* ! I'm so glad you're out there battling these vile scammers. We must take every precaution to protect the general people and the elderly from these vile con artists!! 🙌🏽Bravo to you! You ought to be awarded the Nobel Prize for protecting us. Big up, brother,☮️
i almost fell for one of those fake download buttons
ublock origin is your friend. Even on your phone (android firefox) If you have an iPhone, the malware is part of the experience that you paid extra for. Think different, right?
I found a weird website selling camping gear at ridiculous low prices. I was looking for a canvas spring bar tent... which costs about $600 normally. These were $250 on this site. I searched for reviews and found nothing. I searched for the company by name and found nothing. Obviously, they just wanted me to put my credit card number in there. I'm glad I passed up on the "deal." Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Those cat chairs look amazing. If they were real I'd buy them.
Same here 😭 They could make more money if they would rally build this chairs, they could sell it for for a high price. Many cat lovers would pay a lot for this 🤯🤯🤯
Thank you for keeping us informed!!
We're going to get to a point where you can only trust things that physically exist OFFLINE. And that time can't come soon enough.
So, that's what will save the world!!! Scams. I am serious.
Thanks for keeping us updated. Appreciate it.
the fake app draining your bank is scary. if it's phishing it can be hard to tell.
Thanks for posting this. I’m sharing this on all my social media pages. Really good stuff.
Great report. Thank you!
As a kindred spirit Theo, this is actually heart breaking. The people who do this should receive serious jail time. Andrew from OZ.
Great work, *Vortextrace* - I’m thrilled that you’re actively combatting these scammers. It’s crucial to prioritize the safety of the elderly and the public by taking every necessary measure to protect them. You truly deserve recognition for your efforts!!!!!!!!!!!😊😊😊

Man, having a sixth sense of knowing what is scam or no scam is almost quintessential these days.
"They" finally stopped calling me to extend my car warranty, but within the last year of so I have gotten mail through the USPS about an extended warranty. If they only knew that my 'new' car came off of the production line in 1998. Maybe I should ask fro a 'free sample' to see if their warranty is any good. 🤣
Mine? 1987, 1992, 1993. Warranty? Yeah. Sure. My "warranty" is that I have a buddy who's a really good mechanic.
@@amazing763 The best kind of 'warranty' to have.
Thank you for making this video❤
Thanks for the update
Car owners that have had a scratch repaired in your car's windscreen, WATCH OUT. It could be that some glass repair company calls you to inform you that they have a "recall" on your windscreen and that they need to replace it FREE OF COST. NOT TRUE - They do NOT have a recall order and it will NOT be free but it will cost 10 times the amount of replacing it with an actual windscreen replacement. Some folks got bills for 6000 Dollars and the work order has some weird scribble on it that is not yours.
aka windshield
Small dings caused by stones on the road will be repaired at no cost to you by the car insurance company. It's not hard for an expert to fix the ding and it's a lot cheaper than replacing the whole windshield.
The manufacture or dealer will notify you by postal mail. You can contact your local dealer and they have a list of recalls that they can look up using your vin number.
Don't forget camera alignment for your ADSS systems too in that cost :(
Car Shield is the biggest joke.
Thanks for sharing so important information. Hopefully a lot of people take a note of it.
The domain renewal scam has been going on for decades, I was getting those fake letters 25 years ago.
Thank you for valuable information.
As a crocheter who has seen complaints in various FB/Reddit groups about fake patterns, it's less clothing (although I'm sure that exists) and more amigurumi (3d stuffed creations, like plushies) patterns that we're seeing be AI generated and fake. Some popular crocheting YTers have had AIs generate patterns to try out, with hilarious results, but more frequently you will find an ad for an item pattern, but an experienced crocheter can look closely at the stitches in the "finished product" and tell that the finished result is actually not possible. (For example, yarn colour changes that go beyond perfect to actually invisible, an insane number of colour changes within a small section of the project, etc.)
🥰🥰🥰
Many Thanks ThioJoe for your videos informing people about these scams.
I once called a police department for some questions. People there did not help me much. After a week and several months later, I got the same person kept calling me and pretended to be someone at the police department. He was trying to collect money for the department fund. The last time, I screamed at him and saying, "Hey, you got the federal pay you more than me, why do you still want to get more money". That was the last time for him to call me!
My Cousin fell for a scam and I told him it was a scam. Promised him a $600 bluetooth speaker for $6. He said, what about the reviews. I told him, those were contrived and were fake. They took out the $6 and kept trying to take out more money.
Ah, the white van speaker scam. Variations of that have been going on for decades.
$6 is a cheap price to learn the lesson.
Bless your cousin heart
HOW, HOW, HOW do people fall for that crap?!
Thanks for this! I saw an ad for eye glasses with a screw system that can adjust your power. Total scam. This ad pops up on KZhead.
I'm getting a lot of emails that claim to be from my email provider, saying that I must agree to new terms and conditions and upgrade to their new system or my email would be shutdown. Just ignore these. Nothing will happen.
I get those too, except they say my system has viruses on it and my email will be shut down.
Bravo, *Briskdeft* I'm so glad you're out there fighting these scumbags. We must do everything in our power to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable scammers. You're a true hero, my brother….❤❤😊
Thank you for the scam updates
Good video, when I was younger I received a physical mail saying I won $9,999,999,99 I was so happy until they told me they need my checking account so they can deposit it, 😅 I think if I had a checking account I would done it. 😂
LOL
Thanks for highlighting these TJ. The more we share them, the more muscles we put on everyone's scammon sense.
Outstanding job, *Adroitkey* ! I'm so glad you're out there battling these vile scammers. We must take every precaution to protect the general people and the elderly from these vile con artists!! Bravo to you! You ought to be awarded the Nobel Prize for protecting us. Big up, brother
Thank you for looking out for others.
THANK YOU!
General rules government agencies don't communicate by email. If an arrest warrant is made against you the police won't warn you by email or by phone.
Thanks so much for the video! I'm going to share it because a lot of people older than me aren't up on the most recent scams and I don't want them to get hurt
Thank you for the alerts Thio.
Keep doing what you’re doing! The public needs the education as scammers and bad actors get more sophisticated. Our education is the strongest weapon.
Nice work alerting us to new scams. Thank you Sir ✔️
Fantastic info as always, thank you.
thanks for doing these. good things to share.
When isn't the government doing something?
Really? Our government has become a Corporatocracy, ruled by corporations. The Walton family who owns Walmart is worth a trillion dollars. Those are the people "government" cares for.
I know right?! They hate competition so much, you'd think they'd go after these crooks.
You're awesome, Joe!
Thank you for the update and information. This is super helpful to be able to share to all I know. You explain it quite well, so hopefully this gets stopped but I do see AI taking scamming to a new level more and more. Will be sharing your video and hopefully you get more subscribers. I'm not trying to sell you or make your more money to be honest, but this will possibly save one person I know which is all that matters.
Thank you!🎉
"I'm surprised Facebook hasn't done anything about this" I'm not lol, it's Facebook.
Yeah, I laughed when he said that. Apparently he doesn't now herr zuck & fakebook
I got scammed several times on fb,and u agree they don't care ,but im learning that
On Instagram
This is a good one. Thx for doing this!
Thank for your kindness to do this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, man! Darn them scammers
Google Facebook is a scam
Thank you. Really informative. I’m more aware than ever because of lovely people like you ❤
You guys are great! I love seeing you disable these creeps! *Briskdeft* Keep up the good work, praying for you! 🎉🎉😊
I'd like more info on Sim Swapping and how to avoid it 😅
I kept stumble on people asking "Is this Lego set real?" on an AI image every few days or so. I reckon AI can never create a truly convincing Lego build, at least to a trained Lego fan like me, because Lego only produce so many pieces, therefore only so many possible connections can be made, plus some other stuff. Essentially, it's still those who aren't familiar the most vulnerable.
Thanks. Waiting for more to come
I love this content, especially from you ThioJoe.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT U DO.
I like how this wasn't just tech scams, but just general things to watch out for. Really high quality content you got here!
as a crocheter, i would actually love to see one of those scam patterns. i wonder if they even make anything remotely close to the ai generated image...
It's not even a pattern just a bunch of BS words
They have you make a sweater that says "I was scammed"
Never act upon anything you didn't initiate is my motto.
I love the way u get to the point right away great video
Thank you 😊 MB
I usually pay for my gas inside at the register, which means the pump will stop letting me pump out gas at the amount I paid for. I'd love for one of those pump switch scammers to offer to pump my gas. I'd be like "sure," just so I can see the expression on their face when they realize that they can't get any gas. 😆
I did that too - back in 1982.
I pay inside. Less chance of skimming devices on keypads when there is a ton of cameras inside the store watching everything.
If I were to be potentially scammed, I'd be glad to waste their time as much as possible. 💀💀💀
Thanks for helping me recognize this stuff! Hope to see a video about what to do when your computer gets locked up! 👍
Great insight mate well done
One scam I recently had the pleasure to put an end to: female voice asks, "Hello............don't you remember, you asked me to call you back." I asked, "What country are you calling from?" and they hung up! They are trying to get people to say "Yes" and that "Yes" response will cost you big time. Just say "No" to everyone you do not know and they won't call you again. Most re AI anyway and they a trolling for that "Yes" answer. Also, they are preying on anyone regardless of age.....all they want to hear is "Yes"--------- If you do not know the person, just say "NO"----or you can play with them if you want just to take up their time as long as you don't say yes to anything. When anyone calls that I don't know and they call me by name, my first question to them is, "Who wants to know?" Some hang up when you ask who THEY are.
I'm just amazed people buy anything on Facebook Marketplace or give out their number to non-friends or other essential businesses. The doctor needs your phone number. _The rest of the world does not._
Thanks for shareing👍🏻
