Just an FYI – Europe thinks America is weird for still using cheques…😅
If they use the word kindly they are a scammer
I’m sorry but if u have a company and actually fall for this and send money back without waiting for a check to clear, especially now a days where checks get cleared faster, then u probably deserve to be scammed
Kenyan here. First of all thank you for this informative video. Second just a minor correction the pin on your map 12:28 was not on Kenya it was on Sudan instead (Understandable mistake). Third the guy in Kenya (Joseph Evi-Parker) is probably also a Nigerian. They operate a huge scam ring in an area called Roysambu and I have been trying to expose them. They recently scammed my best friend and sadly she ended up unaliving herself due to the financial and emotional turmoil 😞 Thank you for the work you are doing 👏🏼
Claims online that a couple of Scottish soccer clubs were scammed out of a couple of million pounds by something similar.

„…Vermögenseigentümer ist DIE Karl-Heinz Siegler“ 😂😂😂
why is someone playing table tannis in the background? show me the tennis
Funny and entertaining ending, thanks.
I Love ❤you.
Why was the check made out to Pleasant Green? So you are SCAMMING us with a fake video? The blurry address still is legible. Sooory pal
I don't get the scam ? If they send you a check and it's no good, how do you know unless you deposit it into your bank, and trying too deposit a fake check into your bank makes you look like a scammer to the bank. But how do you know if the check is real or fake? They sent it, you didn't make the check.
Great job that you do.
I used to run a karaoke DJ service. One time I was sent a postal money order for $3499. I brought it to the Post office and asked them, hey what is this? Is it real? The next thing I know there are 4 police officers in the post office. They escort me down to the station for a polite private conversation with an FBI guy. Too bad their complaining witness (the Post office) provided me with the only evidence they had against me. They may have had a case. Possession of fake documents is a $20,000 fine and a year in the federal penitentiary. The envelope was post marked. The mail carrier put that in my mailbox. End of story…
10:00 ah. Del Jones as opposed to Dow Jones. Sounds close enough to trick your brain into thinking it’s reputable.
0:45 they look more like photos from the 50's
I'm gonna guess something, the scammer is gonna say kindly in this video.
You should have sent them Magic Spoon cereal.
My son nearly fell for this scam about 10 years ago, ironically?? also out of Toronto (maybe the same guy trying an oldie but a goody). Here's how it went: My son had just moved to Chicago and was looking for a job using Linkedin and other on line sites. At the same time (stupidly) he had posted on Facebook that he was now living in Chicago, looking for work, but was in no hurry as he had just received a lump sum payout from his previous job. The scammer hired my son as an "Advance man" for his Toronto Based investment firm which was opening a new office in Chicago. His first "duties" were to lease office furniture for the new office. The "boss" UPS over-nighted a check ($2,500)to cover the costs. But since the "firm" had no bank account set up my son was directed to deposit the money in his personal account. In the interim my son contacted me about his new job, naming the Toronto firm. I checked their website and found page after page of slick text and photos that didn't say anything about Chicago. I cut and pasted a couple sentences into a search and found the entire website had been lifted from an investment firm in Sacramento, Ca. I called the company in CA and they were amazed that someone had pirated their site. The next day the 'boss' e-mailed my son that he had been injured in an accident and could not complete the move. He told my son to draw a check on his bank and UPS the check (using a prepaid code number that the scammer supplied) to him and that he could keep $200 "for his trouble." That morning my son contacted his bank, told them about the almost certainly fraudulent check, and when the e-mail came ignored it. It just goes to show that a good scam never dies.
its basically just a fake check scam. It was tried on me after a craigslist ad about 15years ago
I'm a self employed professional handyman. My jobs are much smaller than a quarter million. However, once in a while I receive requests from nice ladies who claim they just bought a new home in Edmonton (I live here) and would like it painted. The paint is pre ordered and if I accept a cheque for payment. The last time it turned out the cheque was supposed to cover the materials too and I was supposed to pay for something out of it. I knew it was fake, but they did a very detailed breakdown of the job, including exact dimensions of each room to be painted. The initial message definitely looked legit. Thanks for what you do. I learned a lot from your videos.
You really missed the opportunity to call yourself Mike Olong

1. The Bundesministerium für Arbeit doesn't even exist, there is only the Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales
2. The letterhead is wrongly formatted and contains the word Zu which is a literal translation of the word to but in this context should be translated as An:
3. Projekt Standort is wrong it would be Projektstandort
4. At the projects location is a Sawmill, it would be impossible to build a Hotel there with a proper building permit
5. The first letter of the word Bauunternehmen should be written in uppercase, same thing with Fertigstellung
6. There is a word missing behind "Vermögenseigentümer ist die Karl-Heinz Siegler", ther would be a word showing what type of company it is, a GmbH or an AG or a KG …
7. No one would write "mit Wirkung zum untenstehenden Datum", its not wrong but it does not seem proper
8. Aussetzungsdatum would be a date not a timestamp
9. "Die folgenden Teile" implies that only some Operations would be stopped but just above they write "Alle Operationen" which would be every operation.
10. Below "Arbeit betroffen" they do list work and "Unregelmäßigkeiten …" which would be deficency also Arbeit is singular and they list multiple things.
11. There is the word "am:" missing behind "wird erteilt" and also a timestamp is weird, there really arent that many documents where the time is listed in addition to the date
12. That stamp looks fake
13. Ther is no "Bundesministerium für Arbeit" or "Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales" in Karlstadt
That name would be perfect for a plumbing company 😂😂
the ending!!! lol u scareddd them fursure
It's a scamming mafia called the Black Axe in Nigeria, their operatives operate around the world.
The german PDF is so fakish. Germans bureaucracy wouldn't send out a PDF/letter with so many mistakes. Some parts look like a keyboard warrior on social media wrote it.
