New Scams to Watch Out For (2021)

[@billjamison2877]

Got a call from my "son" say he was arrested and needed bail money. He did sound like my son but I had talked to my real son about an hour before I got the call so I knew it was bogus. I played along for a while and lectured him on personal responsibility! It was hilarious! He finally hung up on me.

As a teenager I almost fell for one of these. I was to be an assistant and they sent me a $5000 check and I was to keep half. I went to my bank and they said honey this is a fraud check and it will bounce. I was so upset I think I was like 16. Glad my bank looked out for me.

[@Chaseniceness]

Yes, my bank is very good.

[@kennethwallace4338]

Got those since 2015, not the check cause it never went that far just the message. 2015 was when I started doing stuff public online site's. Someone dropped me a dm hey u send this to your bank I'll cut u some from it, 17,500 is the amount, just give me your bank info I'll do it from my PC send you a cut after. I screenshot it and wall blasted it person instantly cut bait and ran.

[@tommak6516]

In my experience it does not work that way unless the check is seriously flawed in some way. The way it does work is the bank will take the check and deposit it, it then goes to a clearing house, the clearing house ultimately determines if the the check is good. This process could take 3 weeks. If the check is no good, the bank will take it back out of your account (3 weeks after you deposited it). If you do not have enough funds the bank will go after YOU to collect. That is precisely why the scam works, because of that long processing time.

[@grn1]

@@tommak6516 Chances are they were talking to the bank teller about it and the bank teller recognized it as a scam rather than recognizing the check itself as fake. It's also possible that the company name on the check had been flagged because they used the same bogus name on a previous scam.

The amount of the order was for $ 4999.95 with a discount which left a balance of $ 1400. I was immediately suspicious and went to Amazon to check my account and of course no order for this was there because I hadn’t ordered it. I went back to the email and it looked suspicious so I immediately sent it to my junk mail. I’m always suspicious about phone calls or emails these days and will always check with the company myself to see if it was a real request.

I wonder if someone ever got one of those "grandsons in jail" calls when their grandson was literally right in front of them! Just to be sure about the third one, YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST CHECK YOUR ORDERS ON AMAZON'S SITE!

[@lambornewagner6600]

My favourite way of dealing with spam phone calls is, if I don't recognise the number or it says "international" or just looks suspicious, I pick up the phone and say nothing, just listen. Usually after a few seconds the call will disconnect.

[@fatmanpauluk]

I love the robocalls. I play along and waste their time for 10 to 20 minutes. At least I know that I may well have saved someone for the time I've got them on the line. It also costs them as they use VOIP from third party companies.

[@Hempfuelgroup]

Agree and like it but ima start interviewing them because it might be deeper than someone trying to swindle us might be some lady with hungry kids. So i interview that person

[@gavinthecrafter]

Lol the 3rd one makes zero sense. If Amazon knew the order was unauthorized, then why wouldn't they just cancel it immediately?

[@avidinvestor9409]

Thanks 🙏 This has been a real eye 👁 opener

As I get older, I get more and more of these. Luckily, I have an older sister. They tried with her first. You are fabulous! I learn so much by watching your videos. Blessings.

[@SunRabbit]

I get those package pick-up e-mails all the time. It's always like "we tried delivering a package containing [something] to your home but you weren't home, click here to reschedule shipment." I just laugh, because that's impossible because I'm ALWAYS home and always awake.

[@daviddunmore8415]

I've had quite a few of those, when I hear that recorded female voice, I just hang up and block the number (it's from a different number each time).

I got one a few weeks ago on my voicemail - a contractor discussing the removal of three palm trees in my front yard. First of all I live in an apartment and I have no front yard. Contractor scams in Florida are the worst in the nation.

[@sheilapasquini6232]

Got several calls about social security benefits and twice she asked " can you hear me?". I never answer yes to any stranger and after listening to her for a few minutes, I interrupted to ask if she was interested in buying my old supply of Avon,,never been opened. She snorted in disgust before hanging up. P.S. called my local SS office to ask if they make these types of calls. Answer: NO! They notify by mail.

I called amazon last month just to ask a question; the guy says, you need to add your payment info to your account, I'll wait while you do that. I said NO and hung up, then deleted my membership! Thankfully, I've never ordered from them. Thanks for this video!

[@clickallnight]

I'm starting a new remote job and I just had the thought that the recruiter, interviewers, and everything could have been an elaborate scam to get the information I gave to HR. I don't think that's the case this time, but it would have worked. I wonder how I can protect against that next time.

I have now reconsidered my opposition to the death penalty.

[@Zekrom569]

Well it depends, i mean probably those phone scammers are not going to be prosecuted in the US in any way, as they are commiting the crime from overseas(usually India). So no way to deal with this thing unless there is some action by the international community for India to step up their efforts regarding law enforcement(and the other countries that might host such "scam call centers"), because usually in such countries, law enforcement is virtually non existent, and that's why those scams keep being done.

[@barbaraness4507]

I know of someone who just fell for a scam like that! With them it was a scammer getting their account information and “depositing” money in it, and before it cleared they asked her to send money. It’s both sad, and frustrating to see this happening to someone. Now he has access to all the money in her account.

[@knowthyself2119]

That is so true about the work from home scam. This one in particular happened around this time in 2020 and didn't ask me for a amount to give them, No. She claimed to work for an Art Gallery and what she did is send me checks for $700 or sometimes way more to cash, I would take a percentage, but find somewhere to cash the check and wire the money to a location over in Europe somewhere. Then I would get paid $2000 a month on top of my percentage that I would take out from the checks. Plus, every 6 months that $2000 monthly would increase. Yeah, the checks were not good and till this day my bank goes through extra steps when I have to cash checks there and I have a credit union.
