It will always be an endless game of whack-a-mole, but I believe KZbin has the ability to make it increasingly difficult to run those operations that it will no longer worth the scammer's time. In addition to IP ban and special character limitation (for username), IMEI ban and email ban can also be implemented. Give the real KZbin channel (the monetized ones) names a special font (and perhaps larger font and the ability to use emoji) that regular users can't use.

Bud, just wanted to say. Your videos earned my subscription, your character earned my respect. Keep inspiring minds and spirits.

[@Klian159]

Bro this guy is TOO kind dude, I would've solved it very agressively. RESPECT to you man!

[@raijin4867]

This has got to be one of the most heart warming things I've seen/heard from anyone. I commend you for not trying to fight back with the scammers, as that will always end in a lose/lose situation. Not many people have the heart to keep their cool like this.

[@roryoconnell7759]

If I wasn't already a fan, I would have been after seeing this video. Few people, have the capacity to handle the situation you did. Well done. Very well done.

[@Names_Define_Identities]

I have no words for this. Instead of outright being agressive he maintained a calm and collected attitude for the whole video and even showed empathy for the scammer, this guy is truly a good person.

[@thedirtyburger1485]

This is why I have been subscribed for so long. You are calm, and you think about things in a clear way. I aspire to be so reasonable.

[@remyandteddyjet7847]

Loved the comment “just because he is unethical doesn’t mean we need to be unethical back.” You are such a good dude!

[@tobybartlett]

💯

[@wal]

This is a big problem and I have found a way to suppress most of these by filtering out certain words. Thanks for diving deep into the subject and explaining how it works. Great video!

[@denyk142]

that's a very mature way to handle the conversation, didn't fell for his taunt and cool it down quickly. Massive respect sir.

[@hobosarepeopletoo]

First video I've ever watched of your channel the algorithm finally pushed you my way. It's interesting how you got him to open up while he's still trying to scam you. It really is amazing to think that on the other end of the scam is also someone trying to make ends meet. I love how you said someone poor robbing the poor doesn't make them a Robin hood. Great stuff

[@ridmak95]

I’ve never watched any of your videos before this one, but the algorithm did its job here. This is premium content. I can appreciate the way you handled that situation with empathy, respect, and class. Keep doing your thing and I plan on checking the rest of your channel out as a result!

[@hadorstapa]

That was really fascinating, thank you for this. So interesting to see your patience engaging with someone in an open and not angry or belittling way, yet also not compromising your own morals.

[@GymMusic1982]

Wow man are you human or AI to have so much patience and understanding a situation without flipping. You're a dying breed. Great work

[@Robert_Byland]

I'm really impressed with how you're handling that mess. You have my respect sir!

[@danethepane1056]

Dude you almost made me cry bro you’re such a kind hearted person. You weren’t wrong about any of that and I couldn’t argue with even if I wanted to. Thank you for being so kind and amazing

[@evolicious]

lol, he believed that lie sob story from that indian scammer. Jerry is dumb.

[@broniabdul-razak110]

So sad this is happening. I'm Ghanaian myself living in Ghana, and yes it hard in this country but that is never an excuse to scam people. He never makes that sum of money he mentioned, as that is quite a huge sum here. Pitying them and trying to cushion the hardship by donating to them isn't the solution and makes it worse. Majority are making clean honest money here and this act of theirs creates a stereotype about countries like mine.

[@Prep4hereafter]

I really pathetic the kind of reputation this people create for their outside, especially Nigerians are well known in the scamming buisness.

[@nexusyang4832]

Shout out to Wode Maya. 🙂

[@techyrock]

he can probably live off an whole year with 1k for being poor, when he says 1k a day, I have seen people in my country live off 53$ a month and often most bankers and teachers get paid 160$ a month

[@Skuldee]

That's what i thought when I checked how much 1 million was in Ghanaian currency was. (it was 77k in euros)

[@echobeefpv8530]

I agree with your statement, except it does not reflect on your country , or it's people. Just as in all places, there are always a few bad apples.

[@imblackmagic1209]

there's always 2 sides to a coin, and although the scammer might having hard, everyone is u.u thanks for being so kind and explaining everything

[@waynesteed]

That was outstanding! Great to see folks out there with character and respect... I hope the young man who is scamming people learns the value of character and respect.

[@Shakerroo]

Your channel and scammers aside. You are a truly wonderful person and I applaud your compassion

[@johnsherby9130]

Man that was a tough conversation to have. I really respect how you kept your composure

[@levipb1403]

His "act" you meant

[@skyanakinwalker]

I have to tell you I appreciate to know and you’re in my opinion, right attitude, or unmeasured approach to this circumstance. You have my respect.

[@ronalddweynebaleterewa4950]

One time a stumbled upon your video ripping open some phone of some sort and what made me subscribe to your channel was the your calming voice.( like one of those documentary narrators). I never pay attention to whatever phone you rip apart because I can never afford them but to just listen to your voice. Thanks for the hard work and dedication!

[@timhui950]

That was a very calm and wholesome response to the problem. I hope this does raise awareness so your viewers don't fall victim anymore. Keep being awesome!

[@Savethepandabears]

Africans and indians two scam capitals of the world dirty people in general and wonder why no one likes them

[@jean-francoisracineacupunc3484]

That was interesting. I do prefer revenge videos with scammers but compassion is a rarity these days so good work.

[@MustafaAndroid]

Man I cannot tell you enough how much I love your kindness

[@chibuikepeters889]

The fact that zack fulfilled his promise by sending the scammer the $150 balance they both agreed on,even after the harm the scammer guy is causing him and this channel😢❤

[@White742]

Don't you get the business? Even though Zack paid him $150, he will probably earn twice than that from this video itself. Paying money to the scammer was just an investment to make profit with this video.

[@baldisaerodynamic9692]

really? giving a scammer money promised? LOL

[@chibuikepeters889]

@@baldisaerodynamic9692 bro I’m not even justifying the fact that he gave the scammer the $150 balance they both agreed on, I’m only saying he kept to his words by sending him the money afterwards….cus naturally one would be mad at the scammer for all that he has been doing,and wouldn’t want to send anything afterwards.

[@radhakrishnaupadhyayak1684]

Hats Off to you man!! That was such a respectful way, you dealt with the situation. It's us the viewers must be careful not to fall into this type of scamming.

[@whodidit99]

Darn! I always wanted to do this. Fascinating. Great work. More garden updates please.

Emotional Intelligence at its best! You never disappoint Jerry. I can say without a doubt, you are one of the most inspirational people in the whole net.

[@Jezee213]

To be open minded like this and still get the point across is awesome. Thanks for brining more light to this subject I think if more creators did this it would be impossible for YT to ignore. This is what it takes. Your awesome Zach.

[@tricky.pixels]

Man...I am lost for words...not at all what I expected...folks like you give me hope in this messed up world we live in....a truly refreshing & interesting video 🙌

[@jvaheed]

Dude, you got me with this one. I watch a decent amount of youtube and have been here since the beginning and have always believed that individual media and individual credible content creators are the future of information flow. As I've said I've been watching youtube for information and entertainment since the beginning and have seen its ups and downs, great content creators reduced to money-hungry grubs, and Google's own policies downright disrespecting the audience and the creators. I watch videos but I stopped being invested a long time ago and am mainly subscribed to stuff I was 10 years ago. I enjoyed your content and thought it was neat, really you do a great job but I was never going to let myself get invested and let you pass you by as the algorithm took you out of sight and out of mind but today the way you handled this situation and your understanding of the whole situation indicates that behind the eerily calm voice is the heart of a lion. God bless you dude and I know it doesn't mean much but you've earned yourself a fan. Liked, Subscribed, and hope to see you around for a really long time, bud.

[@wattsonthetube]

Thanks for drawing attention to this. I've seen this all across KZbin on other creator's channels and it's really frustrating. I just hope that they don't photoshop and use your verification photo as proof that they're you. It's great that they were willing to talk to you, but it's hard to trust people like that, regardless of circumstances. Hopefully YT figures out how to stop this soon.

[@Arrowed_Sparrow]

Staying level headed along with some empathy can go a long way. I don't know of any other KZbinr that has reached out to one of these people and had a casual conversation about what their doing and how it's done. You're truly an awesome person 😁

[@earlysda]

There are quite a few videos showing this on KZbin. In one, the American guy actually went to western Africa somewhere, and helped the guy buy stationery and stuff for like 100 students in the school where the scammer was teaching at. Really heart-warming!

[@jabezeby]

Man you are a kind human being. It is not easy to have such polite conversation with a person who is stealing in your name... May you live long and prosper Zack...

[@user-op6uv5bx1r]

Thank you! Your attitude is inspiring

[@mdecoo81]

Very good you have made a video about this. Just making people aware is already a very good step. Agree that KZbin should make it more difficult for scammers to hijack other people's trust.

[@liamhoughton]

This guy is the definition of decency and respectfulness. Zack your Chanel (particularly the hummer build) is entertaining and I love your not a wheelchair, having worked in the industry that is one hell of a product. Hats off to you.

[@Oceanborn712]

I'm seriously impressed by the way you approach this. This kind of mindset is incredibly rare to find.

[@alexaadams1738]

This breaks my heart. You said people who fall for this don't have the money to spare, your so right. most people are upset when this happens to them and your so empathetic to his situation if why he says about his situation is true. My sister was scammed by a "friend" on insta and she lost my mom's inheritance and more. I hope KZbin does something to fix this. Or at the very least your viewers become more aware and verify that it's really you before they send money. Thank you for bringing this to our attention wishes more influencers followed your foot steps to protect their subscribers. ❤❤

[@SailorRalph]

You are a truly awesome person. Keep spreading the love and sharing your wisdom!
