So Justin, Jess and I are going to back to back to back premieres and the. The livestream starts immediately after. This video is the first one of the night and I’m super excited about how it turned out.

[@benogidan]

As a Nigerian who loves watching your videos, I applaud you for bringing attention to this so that more people can be aware that there are bad people out there. Please these people have no empathy for their victims please don’t try and understand them. Good explanation by Emeka there 👍🏿

[@BlueKinTsukiko]

Since you're from Nigeria can I ask personally how is it there? I know I can't understand the daily struggles but the idea of 2 million people and a majority of them without jobs sounds horrendous. I wanted to ask if there's a way for people to make money outside of scamming or should other countries try to make factories there to provide jobs. And if so how so it doesn't displace or become a 2nd colonization. I'm just genuinely curious because after so much displacement and what was done I'm not sure how other countries can help to fix it without causing harm or more backlash.

[@benogidan]

@@BlueKinTsukiko so the projected unemployment rate in Nigeria for 2023 is about 37% and some sources have estimated this to be more. For me to try and comment on each of the problems of my country would be a great dis-service because there are so many of them. I would say one of the biggest is the political class and corruption, it is very hard to have wealth distributed to the masses when the people that are voted in and responsible for the flow of wealth implement policies which are only designed to keep them in power for as long as possible.

[@Herr_Damit]

@@benogidan 37% is crazy. It's so hard to come up with a good solution apart from "more checks and balances". I really feel for the African people, it's an upward struggle all the time. People tend to think that they are above abusing other people, but history showed us time and again, that humans are pretty quick to forget their idials.

[@Shiftshapercat]

it really boils my blood when scammers come into any equation. It is pretty much the reason why I don't answer the phone anymore unless if I recognize the number.

[@Winterascent]

I like to leave a comment back offering to send them nudes.

[@Fiona2254]

I don’t answer if I don’t recognize the number I’m done with the scams. It’s my phone for my use not for them to abuse.

I love that your shining light on this. KZbin has become inundated with scams. You have fake puppy and kitten rescue channels, spam comment scammers such as your showing, and even spam channels that rip other channel videos off.

[@Valkyrie_71]

yeah I agree.. I started really clueing into the fake kitten puppy rescues and stopped supporting them with any likes or comments. quite possibly you are supporting aweful animal abuse to do so. Just so they can fulfill their narcissitic hero complexes. Animals can't really speak for themselves and tell what really happen. We just assume some "other" aweful invisible abuser threw them onto the roadside for this hero person to find.

[@charlibravo371]

@@Valkyrie_71 yeah it's crazy the level some people will go to. Have you seen those videos where they stick dead ticks, sunflower seeds (they look like large ticks, and even barnacles to turtles, puppies, kittens, and even to people just for views.

[@wendyweaver8749]

Hamidi Maqtal - When you encounter a scammer, go to the scammer's channel and report the channel on the About page. It appears KZbin monitors give more attention to reports through an About page than reports through a comment section. You can also send Morgan the names of scammers as he can bloke them from being able to post comments or replies.

[@murraylangley2449]

Having grown un in South Africa and having spent four years in the DRC, I can attest first hand the level that people have to revert to just to make a buck. It can never be condoned and we all just need to be aware all the time, especially in this digital age. Thank you for the great content.

[@debrafisher7373]

You're a very kind and empathetic person. The scammers are bad enough here on KZbin and as a Meta community manager partner, 90% of what I do anymore is scam/spam prevention and it's frustrating AF nowadays.

[@ohbuddyiliketowatch]

We're so lucky Morgan and his wife bought a farm so he could be free to make awesome, fun and sometimes needed thoughtful content.

[@karenleblanc6634]

Morgan, I appreciate your compassion and willingness to let other voices speak so we can all gain a little deeper understanding and empathy. Love wins.

[@caseyleichter2309]

I appreciate your compassion for the lack of opportunities that attract scammers, but I can't say I share it. What has become clear to me over my 60+ years is that scamming - like shoplifting rings, porch pirates, and other forms of theft - is a profession to them. They're bright, able people without a conscience, and robbing people is their **career**: they devote time, ingenuity, and planning to it. They use sales techniques, intimidation techniques, psychological techniques; they stay up to date on technological and financial changes (crypto and NFTs: I will never get over that these are actual business ventures); they are flexible and innovative and completely parasitic.

[@leertosl]

sounds about right

[@marjnussby8305]

Well said.

[@Aviertje]

I think it is worth remembering that we are all a product of our environments. People in poor places where crime is common are not going to see crime as some unforgivable sin, but rather as a way to make ends meet. Everyone they know does it, so why shouldn't they? I look at a scammer from a third world country or some sort of poor neighborhood considerably nicer than I do one in a rich neighborhood. They are still criminals, but for where they live, it is basically like doing weed. Sure, it is illegal, but it is the kind of illegality the people around them pretty much accept as a part of life.

[@AngelMGordon]

simply solution to avoid most scams, never allow own greed to influence own actions.

[@SharonRepici]

I’ve said before if they used their skills for good they would probably make a more than decent living.

[@jimjones7980]

My colleague's dad committed suicide in the driveway of the farm she and her husband were renovating after losing all of his money to a Nigerian scam. He wanted to get some more money to help them out with their expenses and, instead, lost his life savings. He was so embarrassed and destitute and felt like he couldn't come back from it. It was really sad.

[@GoldShawFarm]

I’m so sorry to hear. That is very sad. My heart goes out to them.

[@OhSoNasty]

If he took himself over that intead of contacting the banks then it really is survival of the fittest and glad he's not suffering

[@yasminali7582]

Well done for addressing this, a lot of ppl are aware of these scammers however there are ppl who also don't know and will lose everything because of the scam. This video also makes those unaware that this does happen and to NEVER give details regardless what they say.

[@MadAcreFarms]

It is pretty cool of you to recognize there is an actual person behind the scam. I'm quilty of this, but we often get fixated on our own life dynamics that we forget what others may be going through some things.

[@maxellis3325]

Anytime that people bring light to these fools (the scammers), I respect it. For several years I lived with my grandmother. She received MANY scam callers trying to rob her. However, since I'm familiar enough with these thieves she knew to hand the phone over to me so I could sniff out their obvious BS. I don't care what their situation is. I loathe these assholes. Attacking the elderly is disgusting.

[@meercatt]

This is the absolute best video you have EVER made Morgan! What a journey .. from laughing at your texting with them and funny convo .. to tearing up at the situation in Africa. Just an amazing video that I believe has made the world a little bit better than it was before. Amazing job❤❤

[@sammaatofafadiid9905]

First of all, wow! You've been to Mbour! That's awsome! Second, I love your understandig of the people doing wrong, but also having a great need. Third, notice how they took you back to the hotel instead of whatever back alley. The Senegalese state really does its best to see to it nothig dangerous happens to foreigners and those kids did not want any real harm to come to you. However, it is good to have a trusted guide instead of those getting to you in the streets. Most are probably ok, but this one showed there are serious crooks. Local knowledge is important to avoid danger, just like in the States. Still feeling so happy about this video: Senegal, and you having such good values and attitudes. Thank you!

I appreciate that you don’t offer a flat perspective. I am so glad you bring in a perspective from someone in Nigeria. I’m trying to help my students find that there are two halves to every story and there are reasons for everything happening. Life is unbalanced and it is different for every single person. You get this amazing lottery ticket to where you’re born in life.

Thanks for this, man. I watch some of the "scambaiting" videos on other channels - they're surprisingly addicting content - and it's always interesting when the scambaiter gets a scammer to break cover and talk as an actual person. I don't really believe there's any excuse for scamming, but I also know there are a lot of people's shoes I haven't walked in. I'm always open to learning about other people's realities, and your video helped me do just that. Kudos, and thank you.

[@ellenl5626]

Thank you for making this video Morgan! I appreciate your expressing empathy but as a senior know that we are often the targets.

[@barbarahouk1983]

Yes, we seniors are the target so I regularly look on the internet for the latest reported scam. Some times I play with them. Most times I avoid them. By playing with them I force them to deal with the German language; I pretend Idk English. They usually give up. I can in English act ever so dumb. I pretend to call over advisers. They usually hang up. Hint: Indian accent is usually a scammer.

[@bkm2797]

Really enjoyed hearing you're sensitive POV, but personally I've had it! The reason this has grown to such a staggering degree has many aspects, but Tech Corporations are not interested in producing safer ways for the customers because it's a big cost to them, besides it creates more businesses in security, so in their head they are doing a good thing by doing nothing. The more you allow such behavior to grow, like a disease it continues to spread, morality slides into no man's land, and you have a free for all. So sorry Morgan, we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

[@ericvulgate]

Scammers don't give a shit if their victims live or die. I have zero empathy for them.

I have hope he maybe went to try and earn money without hurting others.

Amazing that you went through all this. Clearly your best video!!! I'd buy you beer if I could! I get calls all the time and I too keep them on the phone as long as possible and string them along.

There was abusive shouting and endless call backs, she said. Lots of tears and sleepless nights. When the focus is on money and not on character - this is the result - praise the young men who find worthwhile work, or who work hard to make honest changes and support their families. Imagine Morgan, if that was not you, it was another man’s wife and the two guns were real. Empathy for all those who choose light over dark and right over wrong.
