Scammers are posing as employers and targeting students! I’ll share what I learned in this video by applying for one of those jobs myself 🙂
Check out my online course called Smartphone Safety Pro if you have young person who’s getting ready to own a smartphone and you don’t want them getting scammed!

Should have sent his check
Oh my goodness, I just realised, if only people who did the Chase bank "glitch" had seen this beforehand… 🤣🤣
I don’t have a Zelle account but I do have a Cash App and Venmo Account and if I ever get money sent to me that I didn’t ask for. I will tell the person I am keeping it until it clears my checking account.
Yeah I had this same exact thing happen only I got some "real" checks that I did deposit and I wanted to wait. The zoom meeting person asked if I could make a partial payment but I said no and I never heard from them again. Bank confirmed check bounced and I didn't lose any money. Sending money via Zelle, Venmo or cash app is a huge red flag. They will also never send you cash without seeing your face or hearing your voice. I know better now and I lucked out not losing my shirt.
I love your work
My husband almost fell for one of these. One of his friends emailed him about a position under a professor he knew personally. I'm guessing he didn't recognize that he was not actually talking to that professor. My husband reported the scam to the international student office because the "job" was only for them. Intl students can't work much
I've had this happen to me on discord. Someone was going out there looking for some entry position. Played around with it, sent me exactly what he sent you a payment slip, told me to do some researches on couches, etc. How smart these people are man
Typo in the Yahoo email address?
American banking sounds weird. You have to use a third party thing, Zelle, to send money? In the UK and Europe if we want to send money from our bank, we just use our bank and send it to their bank. No Zelle.
I am gonna do tommorow they way you. Did, he already told me he Gona sent a check of 1200 euro, 300 euro is for me , 915 is for vendor 😅😅😅 so i will say i did amazon all the meterials
I am waiting the check tommorow through my mail, thanks for your information
Dang you FORGOT to include your VIDEO EXAMPLES WORKING AS THE TOILET TESTER
Kelly prob is in on the scam and tried to get you off his/her back.
I work with a roofing company and we get emails/messages through our website with folks pretending to be someone who just bought a house in our area and they want us to reroof it and due to some reason, surgery/birthday party/out of country.. some reason they want us to completely replace the roof before they get to the house. I typically catch them before sending my estimator out unnecessarily by checking zillow and tax assessment webpages to view ownership information.
But for the life of me. I can't figure it what the scam would be aside from their payment for the roof not going through and them not actually owning the property.
That's my alma mater!
I just got to Uni and I got something similar. It was a guy pretending to be a professor that had a program connected to my collage. He said he needed and assistant and fleshed out the job in decent detail. I had initially fallen for it and was about to loose a ton of money. He was patient and waited day before doing anything money related. He wanted me to print out a check with some information he sent me and send him a picture to confirm. I at this point I figured out it was a scam. I baited him with a google drive link that I watched one of your videos to figure out, and yea I sent him his location when he asked my why the photo might not be sending. 😂
funny.I got a scam call while I was listening to this.
This happened at John Jay college in nyc me and my friends were victims when we were nineteen such a scary experience
Give me my money trend 😂
Pleasant, I've gotta say that your videos are crazy enjoyable to watch. Many other videos I see online lose my interest so fast but I've watched your videos in a minimized view from start to finish so many times on accident while procrastinating on other things 🙂 keep messing with the scammers
Funny thing, everytime i get an add, its about some guys that make 10.000€ of stonks every month. Would that be real!!???
kelly girl shes into it since she got caught, she just pretend to help you trying to piss off the nigerian guy, i guarantee you once you send the money to kelly you wont be hearing from her anymore
I actually almost fell for this looking for a job as a student and he messed up cuz his weather app said Lagos 😂
I had something similar happen, but since you dont take the time to respond to comments I dont feel like going into detail.
Oh I was almost scammed by this a few years ago after I graduated. I wasn’t exposed to these scams back then but something was off when they mentioned the check and then got mad when I didn’t reply to them quickly. I directly emailed the company they were claiming to be and figured out it was a fraud. Learnt my lesson then.
Unfortunately scammers have zero shame or compassion. They would happily take your last $50 without any remorse.
Proof. Not prove. 😂😂
I want the job as toilet tester…. 😂😂
What is the app/website he uses to make the fake bank transfer things? I’ve looked for it on Google but I can’t find anything.
@Pleasant Green I got a text supposedly from Jenny at Indeed. Can I send you the screen shot? Where can I email it to? ❤
It really bothers me the way certain people in certain countries (Nigeria, India, poss Bangladesh) all try to scam Americans out of hard earned money. They must all think all Americans eat steak and lobster every other day and have money to burn. I think of the BILLIONS of dollars Americans, usually the elderly, loose to these scammers and it makes me really really sad. People loose thousands of dollars that probably took many years to save, it’s gone in an instant.
Nigerians really seem to have huge huge respect for the "board of directors" and the "United Nations"
omg i got this exact email but it told us to fill out a google form. it’s odd bc i got the email after i graduated
A scammer's favorite word kindly
Send him back a fake check for a million dollars.
