I nearly fell for a check scam when selling some furniture online. I decided to dig deeper and learned that the scammer was actually from Nigeria. In this video I actually go undercover and work for the Nigerian scammers to see how they do what they do.

This is awesome! You should keep doing this under different names with the same scammer group and others you can find. The scammers never saw any of your real identity, so you can just keep creating new fake identities and re-applying for the job, and they can never know who they are actually interacting with.

This is said it happens all the time. I work at a bank and you won't believe the things these scammers tell people. What is more surprising is that even after you tell the customer do not deposit these checks you have been scammed, a lot of them look at you in disbelief and are tempted to present the checks.

@@Sarge92 he did in the series of this video. basically the people get more money then promised and they are to use the remaining amount for various things. thats the "earnings" for the scammers. when the falty check is realised the bank deducts the funds from the bank holder but they not only spend the money for whatever they were told tod o, but they might have also spend some of the money that was supposed to be for them (which wont help the scammer but can make recovering from it even worse) also if they received the checks for selling something, they might have already shipped the items, too

I enjoyed this video a lot, but I wish you would have made a dummy email account and written some more details in those packages. Something along the lines of " I am a third party being told to mail out these cheques. I just printed this cheque from my home office and do not work for this oil company. I suspect you are being scammed and I am sending you this warning. If you would like to follow up with me to talk about this here's my email". Then you could start a back and forth correspondence with the scam victims. Learn why they believed they were receiving these cheques. What was the backstory the scammers gave them? What was their reaction when they found out the truth? You could call, email, video conference them, maybe get their permission to include that portion in the video. It would have been all the more interesting!

So based on the quick map image, that address is 12321 6th Street, Santa Fe, TX. They're either part of the scam or someone who is also "employed" by the scammer. It may be that someone is working at the post office in that rural area and basically intercepts these when they come in with that address or maybe they fill out a redirect form at the post office every month or so and have it redirect to another address for a while as if they moved elsewhere and still have mail coming to the address. The person at the address may just be some innocent, random person who happened to live in the middle of nowhere and was picked as a random target. I'd be curious to know if they're having any issues with their mail not showing up. I have been pondering how this scam would finish. If they theoretically got the check and the account number isn't valid and the check is found to be fake, I'm not seeing how the scammer would get their money or how even the company placed on the check would "lose" money. I don't think a bank would process a $130K check just deposited into an ATM or even in-person via the bank. The person might be temporarily detained by police to figure out where the check came from, but I don't think that their account would bounce for $130K. I'm not seeing how the person getting the check would benefit or get paid OR how the scammer themselves would get paid unless they were redirecting to that address to have them redirect to yet another address. It may be that the scammer has a contact at both of those companies who is actually employed at each company and would use the check to embezzle from the company somehow. Or there may be someone working at the post office in the rural area looking for that specific address to come through and somehow reroute it or intercept it. There needs to be an international task force that specifically goes after scammers like this and permanently jails them, sells everything that they have and uses the money to fund itself and/or help out people who have been scammed by these people. They should get 30-40 years in prison for this.

So I've been a 'victim' of this type of scam before... I started getting UPS overnight envelopes that were "return to sender" and when I opened them, there were large checks inside. When I called UPS to complain they didn't seem to care to pursue the scammers (generally because they're overseas and next to impossible to prosecute. They did explain the scam to me though... What typically happens is an overseas scammer makes a deal with party A to buy something or complete some type of transaction where they pay "extra" for the item with the condition that part of the money be returned, or given to a courier who picks up the item, etc. The scammer then has party B (the payroll clerk) print and send a check... often using stolen ups or fedex account numbers. Sometimes Party A is asked to deposit the check and paypal or transfer money to the scammer... other times there's a Party C (hired from craigslist under false pretense in the same way the payroll clerk is hired) that will come pickup the item. The scam has several variants but the end game is to get someone in the states to deposit a fake check and transfer goods or money back to the scammer, sometimes through another party. The result will be that party A is on the hook for the money after the fake check bounces.

Let me explain it to you like this. A scammer contacts a genuine seller, asks to buy their items. Agree on price, then they send a fake check " from wherever source and usually ridiculously more than the actual value of the item in question". Upon receipt of the check, the scammer forces the seller to deposit the check in an account, knowing that the check will eventually bounce. Here comes the interesting part. The Scammer will then start to pressure the seller (now victim) to transfer the balance of the sum on the check upront (before the check even clears) to a shipper (the scammer's own network). So how the scammers make money is pressuring the victim to send his or her own money upfront based on their trust (gullibility) in the legal tender (fake check). Do you now understand it?

sagat4 I don't know about that. Here in america, social security (government-funded retirement checks, in case you're not from here) doesn't pay out enough for these people to live above the poverty line. If they really ARE little old ladies, it might be out of desperation. I know my relatives have gotten legit offers of over one million dollars on a particular piece of land (it's a very in-demand area nowadays, even though it was cheap when they got there) so they might think $130,000 for some of their land is reasonable, and it might help cover some medical bills (neither medicare nor medicaid cover 100% of medical costs for all recipients). Not trying to argue or anything, just trying to shed some light on the situation. I know if my family didn't subsidize my grandmother's income, then she would certainly be living below the poverty line.

Your videos educated me on scams and just helped me avoid a scam with a fake check like this, I own a pressure washing company, a man named Mike Graham told me he was at the Kabul base in Afghanistan and wanted a quote for pressure washing. Luckily I can do this via Google maps because he lives a hour and a half from me ... where there are literally ten other established pressure washing companies, I started this year... any ways I give him the quote for 700$ he agrees but says there's a floor guy he'd like me to supervise while there. Weird but okay he was paying 100$ more for that. He says he'll send the check then I can schedule a start day once it clears (cool reduces risk of not getting paid) the check gets sent with a tracking number, arrives same day for 2000, he told me the 'secretary' messed up and sent the floor guys money too. shipped from Jackson Moore in NY, from a bank in GA whose address on the check doesn't match the address on Google, signed by Rick Davis. And the property didn't belong to him.
