  1. You're doing a fantastic job! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

  2. I can’t believe all the details in these…. Would you like a different type to go for? I have one on email right now. He needs some bids for construction projects?……let me know, I’ll forward his info to your email

  3. I fell victim to a rental scam and lost $600 CAD when trying to rent a room (a room is all I can afford because I'm on a disability income), and I really wish I'd seen this video before giving my money to that scammer.

    Thank you so much for making this; it will help others avoid falling victim by raising awareness of rental scammers' tactics, so that hopefully the same thing that happened to me won't happen to them.

  4. This was pretty genius, a bit complicated and maybe requiring some actual law knowledge to know whether what parts are legal (aside from the scammers falsely claiming to own the property). Scammer A contacts Victim A to help promote a house apparently owned by Scammer B as an advertising manager, and they're contacted by Victim B who is meant to send the money. There's also Michelle who was working for them too to receive some money. But there's the unexpected variable that Victim A's actually planning to scam Victim B through this himself, like here. Green played both "victims", but imagine if this was actually real…

    Probably why most scammers suggest an operation of just themselves and either a friend or alternate account, and you. The more people involved, the more risk of someone calling them out or ending up being a bad actor themself.

  5. 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.

  6. Just a heads up that I had a friend who was banned from marketplace for selling a purse that they claimed was fake but she said was indeed real. After that dispute, she was forever blocked from logging into facebook marketplace. I didn't even know you could report people like that on there!

  7. my partner and i literally got scammed like this. he even went and toured the house. it was then he saw something about the house being for sale, called the company on a card attached and found out it was a scam. this was in 2020/2021
