[@diamondguy-xs4lg]

Usually the busting scammer videos I watch are the ones that puts justice against the scammer. My guy just humbled the scammer and instead of dishing out some payback for scamming he wanted him to learn a lesson and wanted him to do something kind and selfless, I don't think I've ever seen another channel like his who humbles scammers and convince them to change their ways rather than dishing out justice. You have my fullest respect.

[@101Volts]

Quite - payback is not necessary. In life, something's gonna mess with them for them messing about. Payback also often makes a person *NOT* want to change their course of action, they'll just maybe get mad and continue doing the same damn thing, so payback's *not helping* when that's the case.

After falling for that scam we'll still have literally 10,000x his wealth.

[@GL-RTA_SOR]

Perhaps he does that not to protect _them_ but to protect himself. If you reveal faces without consent, that has the possibility of getting him in trouble with KZbin. Also, it protects him from lawsuits. They can claim the most applicable of libel, slander, and defamation. Even if it's not true that he did wrong and it _is_ true the scammer did wrong, he's out the money for a lawyer to fight it. This is the USA. Anybody can file a lawsuit for anything at any time. I once saw a business law meme of a lawyer stepping out of a dark alley and his speech bubble read "You've been served. This is a frivolous law suit. You can either pay thousands in attorney fees to fight it or we can settle now, out of court." It was in the syllabus for that class and the professor, upon reading it said "this is one of those things we laugh at because it's true". I was unable to finish my degree for reasons not relevant here, but I can say with confidence he's not likely doing the blurring for kicks and giggles; there's a valid reason. Which of those hypothesis is correct, I don't know; but there _is_ a valid reason.

Not all heroes wear capes. I will sometimes screw around with these scammers just to waste their time, but I've definitely never taken it this far! And for you to actually get to know the guy behind the scam, that's really incredible. For the most part I really dislike these scammers. It really pisses me off to think of the people they prey on, especially since they are often elderly or otherwise vulnerable. But I do have a little sympathy when I remember that most of them are doing it because they don't have any legal means of feeding themselves or their family. I just want to say that everything about how you handled this, especially getting him to do something nice for $20, was really awesome.

I clicked on your video because I have been seeing these all over Facebook. And I knew they were some kind of scam and I start reporting every single one of them. I’m glad I knew I was right. Too many comments of people having sob stories about wanting to get rid of their PlayStation five

Another one; try explaining to me why YT banned my commenting 4 times in about a month and a half (Late October - December 2023) for either posting links to Wikipedia, or saying "go here to find information about your guitar" or "go here to find an audio recording of that concert you went to."

Facebook also allows ads using celebrities' images to promote some investment or crypto crap. I guess that, like KZbin, if the advertising agent's cheque clears, they accept the advert, no matter who or what the advert is for.

[@kingzach74]

Bullshit. Don't feel sorry for them. Even if their village was given a ton of money it wouldn't help their situation. The problem is their government hasn't used any of the aide relief money provided to them to help their people. The only way to truly help them is dismantle their useless corrupt governments and or go in person to provide supplies. Sadly even if you do that you're likely to be mugged or dupped. They are usually so desperate they will do horrible things to each other and justify it because of their living conditions. People show how evil they can be when they have nothing left to lose.

The ending, especially, is so important and moving. The true cartels, criminal networks, are beyond simply scambaiting vloggers, those criminal networks are the ones that by far do the most damage to their victims. So far, our vast system of law enforcement throughout the world is proving utterly incapable of shutting them down.

[@freshrot420]

Why would countries waste money protecting other countries? As long as they aren't scamming their own citizens or threatened with embargoes, it's a net loss for them to arrest or punish them. One of the better solutions would be getting the big companies to actually protect their users. Google, Facebook, all the telecom companies, etc., are in a much better position to stop this crap. It's crazy this is never addressed and we aren't demanding more action from them.

[@KatieHuni]

Because the internet is a lawless zone unfortunately, these barely get talked about which lets tons of people getting scammed internationally

12:23 "I'm showing you this because I think you should be grateful for what you have and for where you live BECAUSE there's always someone who's a lot worse off than you are." I luv Pleasant Green, BUTT that's faulty logic. Virtually anyone who is able to read this has a LOT to be grateful for, regardless of how every or anyone else is doing. "The race is long and in the end it's only with yourself." Someone else being in a wheelchair does not make my life "better" but it does remind me of one more of ten thousand things I TAKE FOR GRANTED on the daily (working legs; life; humanity; this planet; modern marvels; art; love; colors; CONSCIOUS THOUGHT; food; music; water; trees; animals . . .

@@atrmediaofficial Jesus was actually just a prophet & the servant of God Almighty - he isn’t our Creator and should not be worshipped as such. Worship God alone-who is both Christ’s Lord and your Lord. And works are indeed needed for salvation, but not by boasting-rather through faithfully obeying God & upholding His commandments, as He taught through his prophets. But you are quoting the false words of Paul, who was never a disciple and never met Jesus, and invented a religion _ABOUT_ Jesus, rather than following the actual faith & way OF Jesus, which is both faith AND good works. “The MOST important commandment is this,” Jesus answered: “Hear O Israel!
