'Hero' business owner who saved woman from sending $8,000 to scammer is honored for Feel Good Friday

[@karensummers7851]

I'm a regular customer at ShipPro. This isn't the only time Dane has saved someone from this type of thing. I was in there a few months ago and he was helping another older lady with the same type of problem. I was impressed with how he handled it.

[@thisorthat7626]

Wow, how sad that other people in the area have had the same problem. Glad that some people are paying attention.

[@-greentoad]

My elderly mom got a call saying her oldest grandson was in jail and needed bail money. My mom's oldest grandson had passed away. She hung up but the same guy kept calling. My Dad got on the phone and don't know what he said. But there were no more calls after that.

[@computermech]

No laws in India or China. American Government needs to shame them.

[@debby8428]

My mom got the same call. At first she believed them (even though she hadn't spoken to my son in years). She finally did get suspicious and asked the scammers what his sisters names were. They hung up.

[@ladyjade6446]

Makes me so mad.

[@sassycat6536]

I got the same kind of call from a young man that sounded exactly like my grandson. The first time he called he said he had been arrested and needed bail money. When I questioned the area code on my caller id he hung up immediately. The second time he called, months later, same guy, I played along. I told him that I was really sorry but I wasn't going to bail him out for something stupid he probably did. Tough love. I haven't heard from this guy since.

[@elizabethgrogan8553]

It breaks my heart that so many elderly people fall for these scams. I saw an interview with an ex scammer, who said that Americans are the easiest to scam. This man is a hero

[@zesolodar]

my friend works as a teller at a major bank and he said its horrible when you see first hand how many people get caught up in this everyday. its even worse because he can see their account balances and how much some people need the money their loosing. he always tries to convince people their being scammed. he says working in a bank for three years it becomes pretty easy to tell. some people hes able to convince but alot he cant. he says it also sucks because at the end of the day hes not allowed to deny someone something thats legally theirs so alot of times he cant do anything. ive been on the phone with a scammer before i knew it was a scammer but i wanted to hear what the scam was so i could tell my bank ect... basically what the scam was they would claim your name was being used to send western union but you could help them catch the guy because of course hes a criminal their investigating. they tell you they cant legally ask you to use your money so they will deposit the money. what they end up doing is running a cash advance on your credit card and by the time you notice the moneys already gone. but coming from that they can be very aggresive and convincing and if you dont know your shit or not mentally there its easy to fall for. guy told he was CIA and they had a warrant for my computer. i lived five mons away from a local cia field office. told him i would call him back. called him back told him i was in the parking lot of the field office with my cpu and they were more then welcome to come out and look since i have nothing to hide

Good Job, Dane!! You could've taken the fee, been happy that someone purchased an overnight delivery, but instead you saved that woman lots of money and lost a sale in the process. I appreciate you doing that. I wish you were there when my mom got taken for 400, or my grandma for 8k. F*ckin scammers man.

[@nicholaliu5845]

They should put signs up in places that have gift cards and places like this or bank’s if this is an unusual amount they are taking out

[@julesjames593]

Good business too. Dane now has a loyal customer-for-life. Had he taken the $163, he would have never seen that customer again. Maybe the customer's lawyer, maybe Fed Ex's fraud investigators, but certainly no future earnings. But profits -- one way or another -- seemed very much secondary within Dane's actions. Good Job, Dane!!

And you need to send it to me. I did not give my address, figured if it's real I'll get something, never did. Luckily I also told my brother and sister about it, and they said it was a scam.
