What AN awesome collaboration with @ColdFusion

[@NathanielLedeux]

DaGogo is a trusted voice narrator as per ColdFusion documentaries so we trust that voice and your video format,EXCELLENT choice on DaGogo as a NARRATOR

[@markwalker8374]

Except his smooth voice sounds like an AI voice

[@SamyueruHydeo]

11:06 People should avoid setting up 2FA through SMS, since it could potentially leave you vulnerable to sim-swapping attacks. Please use a dedicated 2FA authentication app whenever possible to mitigate such risks. Great video btw.

[@westbccoast]

Problem is most sites don't support an authentication app, it's shameful and disgusting, especially banks. An authentication app just be the minimum standard.

[@eugenetswong]

2FA means giving up a phone number, which can be sold, right?

[@SamyueruHydeo]

​@@eugenetswong Pretty likely, but most probably yes when the service eventually suffers a data breach, then phone numbers could be sold along with other datasets on hacker forums. 2FA apps are the way to go.

[@thecatlady-n3n]

Thanks for the advise. However, platforms that offer 2FA, only offer SMS security, nothing more.

[@aaajp3]

Every single scammer should be jailed for life if they get caught. To make a deterrent for others. It has to be one of the most disgusting crimes on earth.

[@RobertPittman-o6b]

Amen

[@MatCendana]

6:00 Thank You to the woman here, Cathy for her bravery in sharing this experience despite the possibility of small-minded people deriding and laughing at her. She is helping so many others from falling into similar scams.

[@Nessy..]

Reporting scams to Facebook often feels futile, as my reports frequently receive responses stating that no violations were found and the content remains. As long as Facebook profits from sponsored scams, these fraudulent activities will continue unchecked. It's crucial for the government to step in and impose fines to hold the platform accountable.

[@galen__]

Imagine if FB were ordered to fix this via a $100M daily fine until less than 0.1% of users are reporting being scammed, then an ongoing cost per user still being scammed.

[@eugenetswong]

We could build a lot of public transit with that.

[@innobella-cj8rh]

Thankyou, this is an absolutely brilliant series, I hope there is more. My best iPhone tip is to enable “Silence unknown callers”, (I’m sure other phones have similar), if you’re not in my contact list, that call goes straight to message bank, if it’s a legit call, they will leave a voice mail.

[@notahandle109]

This is an absolutely awesome set of videos for my parents... I am sending it to my mum without delay... She can watch and protect my family.

[@almostthere3733]

So governments need to legislate that social media platforms can no longer have it both ways - huge reach with no accountability. They need to be held accountable for DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING. Like KZbin who plead it cannot be held responsible, while at the same time making millions from dirty advertisers.

[@waterwomaninFL]

Absolutely!

[@RAYDEEY17]

I know about all these scams, I hate that most of the youth in my country are doing this to people. They have no empathy

[@ZEPHYRZHANG-mg8zi]

Where do you live?

[@guydreamr]

@@ZEPHYRZHANG-mg8zi My money is with either India or Nigeria.

[@RAYDEEY17]

@@ZEPHYRZHANG-mg8zi Ghana, and 70 percent of Nigerians here are scammers

[@JSM.]

Cold fushion 💯!!

[@waterwomaninFL]

Lawmakers in the US MUST have financial incentive to not come down hard on these scams! It’s disgusting.

[@sp560]

The level of scams these days are getting more deceitful and frightening. It's so disgusting how scammers are ruthless predators.

[@elisam.r.9960]

Not gonna lie when I get a wrong number chat I straight up send them a link to Last Week Tonight's pig butchering segment and express wishes that they can get out of their situation. That shuts things down right away.

[@jaseyarm]

Great work guys! Scammers are being allowed to get away with it too easily

[@Sprinkles-r5y]

More colabs with my boy!!

[@prancer4743]

Thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[@NicolasEmbleton]

This is excellent work. Great job @Dagogo and also super nice to see you in the video. One thing I find missing here is the use of VPNs. While some VPNs are probably not safe and may steal your traffic information, it would protect you when using a public WiFi. Never connect to a public WiFi on Starbucks or else without a trustable VPN.

[@NicolasEmbleton]

And maybe a follow-up video on how to trust your VPN provider.

[@jamesatkinson1048]

there is one sure way to find out if it's real or fake with someone you know to ask the person or persons something you both would know about

[@chrisnewman7281]

Scammers particularly from foreign countries aren’t terribly good with their written grammar or spelling so that can be one good giveaway

[@GeeEee75]

Not so much these days, with the use of Chat GPT and such.

[@arnohofmann8370]

@coldfusion pls make a collab with Adam Curtis, you two are my favourite Documentary film makers ^^

[@Gaia_Project]

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’” Im from the government and im here to store your data, trust me bro. Can I know how you will store it safely? No just trust me bro, im the government and Im here to help.

[@stevene_]

never use public WiFi is a bit of an overkill response... if you don't know about public wifi, don't use it, but mobile data isn't free yet.

[@nino88881]

Gov will still find a way to save Boeing. US cant afford to have this company to crumble. Thats why we will continue seeing this kind of thing happening for a very long long time unfortunately

[@tanyamiller6275]

Well if you knew ANYTHING ABOUT SCAMMING you would not recommend 2 factor I'd

[@MusicByPaulCollier]

Definitely!

[@touchofgrey5372]

Who wants a super-valuable business idea!?!?! Come up with a software program that warns of or protects you from AI voice or image cloning! I would sign up immediately.

[@dondekeeper2943]

Warning: security risk at 0:56

[@RedBloodDragon.]

How?

[@NathanielLedeux]

DAGOGO if you make a second channel like a COLDFUSION twin, we will support you fully, as it took me months to find out you had a podcast not BASED on ColdFusion channel, i was honestly disappointed. SO change the infrastructure of your podcast, i just saw one podcast and you said I MADE THIS PODCAST completely separate from ColdFusion i clicked off and never looked back, WE LIKE COLDFUSION why re-brand a podcast separately FROM COLD FUSION and you dont even advertise it at the end of ColdFusion channel documentaries , you missed sucha a great opportunity for a thriving second channel and income, if u were surprised it failed thats why, we expected maybe a behind the scenes of how a ColdFusion documentaries are made, u fool and ive watvh every ColdFusion video im your fan just honest DAGOGO

[@mattm1686]

seems like if you use a small amount of common sense all these scams are just dead in the water

[@CL-gv2fx]

Google is suspect too. Specifically, this site, KZbin.

[@megblaaa]

Dagogo ftw!

[@moolannaveen]

Great content degogo

[@hamms35]

It's sad that you have to treat every text, emails,and phone calls as potentiall scams.

[@Calamitytoo]

Romance scams: VANITY

[@TioDeive]

That's an excellent public service. Dagogo you make all the difference. A question: If Facebook mentioned in the video knows about scam and fraudulent ads and make money out of them that wouldn't make FB an accomplice of the criminals?

[@Spiritueli]

these kind of scams prove how desperate ppl are for kind and caring relationship, even if its illusional ...

[@yecto1332]

I ve come across many KZbin ad that’s was just a scam

[@sparky1570784]

I keep getting scam phone calls. Went on vacation out of the country for a few weeks and the first day I got back I Recieved 4 scam calls in less than 24 hours. Aura didn't help sadly cus it only screens your calls and sometimes scammers piggyback off of local phone numbers to bypass that. So hopefully delete me will work better

[@ObinnaIlochonwu-zg9jz]

A legitimate company could offer you the option to pay or transact with crypto, just saying. But yea, be careful regardless.

[@KayAteChef]

ATO is the biggest thief.
