Those scamer fuckers called my grandmother, age 92, told her that my dad ,her son, needs a special medicine because he is covid stricken . They wanted her to pay 11k $ for a special medicine from germany. If she had not called her sister, because she collapsed and couldnt go to the bank. My grandaunt couldnt go either so she called her son. And he called my dad. My dad called gran and she would not believe him that he is not on his death bed in hospital. He had to drive from France in one go. My dad is 71, so a night drive was not good for him

[@boundless8951]

This happened to my grandparents 5 years ago. The scammers said my brother was arrested in the Dominican Republic. Actually both sets (maternal and parental) of my grandparents these scammers called. One set didn't fall for it because he was taking a nap at my grandparents while they were on the phone trying to scam them. My grandma was dragging them along and then finally said "well I know you're lying because I'm looking at him right now." and of course they hung up. My other grandparents unfortunately fell for it.

I took Mandarin for one year in college. The class was odd because for a class of only about a dozen students, we had two teachers. One from PRC, and one from Taiwan. I had no idea at the time the reason for this. The woman who taught the class was from PRC and was very brash and bossy. The young man from Taiwan, was very subservient, and quiet, helpful when he could be. When we would ask about traditional characters, our teacher, the woman, would just tell us to ignore them, ‘they’re too complicated anyway.’ I didn’t realize until much later how manipulative all of it was. Now, I wish we had been a little more knowledgable all of it or that someone at the university had warned us before we signed up for the class.

After I complained about the first one's English, he said he can use translate software to write. (what kind of logic, so stupid) And after that, he started to use perfect Simplified Chinese to chat. I didn't know that such a perfect translation software exists at all. His Simplified Chinese was just as of a native speaker's. And the second person could not answer any question about country music. And the last one is the stupidest, I asked him to write down " Hi, Gianni, I am Luka" on a paper, and shoot a picture with his face. He did it, but the picture is fake, although he photoshopped the photos perfectly, the name of the star is Luke Bryan, not Luka. How is it possible, that a country singer doesn't know his name. 🤣✌

Fantastic. I'm impressed by how you're able to spot the red flags, I wish I had that kind of knowledge, perception and the ability to connect dots. And the silver tongue ofc.

[@Neal_only1]

Good show Winston, highly entertaining ! Lol You remind me of my Dad in the old days of telemarketing if he received a call from one of those jerks that would never shut up, he would just put the receiver down on his wooden desk and let it vibrate. When i asked him about the call he told me they called me so let them pay for it! Lol thanks Winston your the greatest.

[@cetilly]

Highly Entertaining! I also like to troll these people but they usually catch on after the first week so kudos to you for keeping this one on the line for so long.

[@paidrussiantroll1305]

Yes, agreed. Mine never last past a week. Most just 2 or 3 days.

As always, great content on this channel. I dig everything about Mr Serpentza. Keep doing what you are doing and all the very best.

I really appreciate your content Winston and once I get out of debt I want to support you and c-milk on patreon. You're so intelligent and insightful and I really enjoy your sense of humor.

giving you money away like that is probably related to why you are in debt

You can start at something very low, like $1/month. This is half the price of a coffee. And once you get more money, you can raise it. I currently give $100/month to both C-Milk & Serpentza! I give so that others who are unable to afford it, can still enjoy the content.

28:15 "roll" was probably in response to your "滾/滚" (a direct translation of it). Pretty much an "F off to you, too!" but done lazily. Thanks for your hard work in exposing and creating more awareness of these scamming acts. I'm sure they will all get what's coming to them.

[@timothysands5537]

bro, you are my hero for sticking that out for 2 long months. Thank you for the education and the entertaining story!

Excellent blog, excellent information, Thank you for the warning !

[@benjaminharold5154]

It seems so silly that someone can get pulled into these things. But loneliness can be a real " handicap" in seeing thru them. Not so long ago my good friend went thru a nasty divorce that left him heart broken. One day we were chatting and he started talking about a "lady" he met online. He was so excited . Then he showed me a pic. She was ridiculously gorgeous, and then he stated she needed some help and he had send some gift cards. I felt terrible having to convince him he was being scammed.

[@lilolmecj]

Tough situation, you were a true friend. What these people steal more than $$ is people’s hope, generosity, and even their confidence in their own judgment ( ok the fact that they got sucked in might suggest their judgment is off for whatever reason), but much more than money is fleeced. I hope your friend finds healing of his whole situation.

[@louisep4805]

[@crttsome7504]

I hope he learned his lesson.

[@MyroslavRozum]

It sounds silly to get caught in something like - I always thought so up until I get into situation when I was lonely an desperate and was approached by such scammer. Thankfully didn’t lost too much money then but it was a lesson for me - everyone can fall into such trap.

[@PenTheMighty]

I remember this scam myself. I used some dating apps during covid to try and meet people and roughly once a week I got a chinese scammer. I got wise about it because money always became a subject of conversation and then investment, and usually crypto.

[@anny2855]

I love the way you tell your stories! I was born and raised in Taiwan. In fact, when I was little (around ten years ago), I have heard of the saying, “Women are made of water. 女人是水做的” As I remembered, this sentence is used to describe that women are as clean as clear water and should be treated gently and carefully. Of course, nowadays people don’t really say that to describe women anymore.

I didn't think I'd last through the full half hour, but no, and the last minute's payoff was hilarious. Thanks Winston. My long ago partial study of Chinese allowed me to to be 'rolling' in laughter for some time. Now I'm immunized against another scam from China.

[@carolincloud]

10/10 !! this had me laughing so hard. your storytelling is absolutely fantastic and i am so glad you made this video

[@prieten49]

Priceless! Priceless! There are a lot of scambaiting KZbinrs who are very entertaining while they delete the files of the scammers and otherwise drive them crazy. Your fluency in Chinese probably was a special "twist of the knife" that just ruined "Salad's" day.

The phone number area code of the first scammer is +93 which is Burmese, so you were actually right about that lol.

[@joenorman8320]

I don't watch you often. But I always enjoy your videos. I really enjoyed this one because I was scammed once. My fault. Not greedy. Just stupid. It's nice to see someone (you) giving a scammer their just deserts. My eternal best wishes for you and those you love.

[@Channel66678]

These scammers truly don't have any morals g! It truly pisses me off, that they go after the most vulnerable, the one's that are lonely and just want a friend or a partner. I've seen so many on my countries TV and the people that get taken for a ride are always older. It's such a messed up thing to do!

[@ShidaPenns]

I'm disabled and can't work so obviously pretty poor, scammers don't even blink when they find that out, I think they just see that as making it easier to take from me. If they had morals, they wouldn't be scammers.

[@luming4483]

Really enjoyed your interesting story. One thing you might not know is that “women are made of water and men are made of dirt” is a famous quotation from Jia Baoyu in Hong Lou Meng (The Red Chamber Dreams”, a famous Chinese novel of Ming dynasty. Best wishes to you and your family.
