Those scamer fuckers called my grandmother, age 92, told her that my dad ,her son, needs a special medicine because he is covid stricken . They wanted her to pay 11k $ for a special medicine from germany. If she had not called her sister, because she collapsed and couldnt go to the bank. My grandaunt couldnt go either so she called her son. And he called my dad. My dad called gran and she would not believe him that he is not on his death bed in hospital.

[@boundless8951]

This happened to my grandparents 5 years ago. The scammers said my brother was arrested in the Dominican Republic. Actually both sets (maternal and parental) of my grandparents these scammers called. One set didn't fall for it because he was taking a nap at my grandparents while they were on the phone trying to scam them. My grandma was dragging them along and then finally said "well I know you're lying because I'm looking at him right now." and of course they hung up. My other grandparents unfortunately fell for it.

I took Mandarin for one year in college. The class was odd because for a class of only about a dozen students, we had two teachers. One from PRC, and one from Taiwan. I had no idea at the time the reason for this. The woman who taught the class was from PRC and was very brash and bossy. The young man from Taiwan, was very subservient, and quiet, helpful when he could be. When we would ask about traditional characters, our teacher, the woman, would just tell us to ignore them, ‘they’re too complicated anyway.’ I didn’t realize until much later how manipulative all of it was. Now, I wish we had been a little more knowledgable all of it or that someone at the university had warned us before we signed up for the class.

There were many US country singers and famous British singer who wrote to me. After I chatted with the first one, I had known they are from a scam group from China. After I complained about the first one's English, he said he can use translate software to write. (what kind of logic, so stupid) And after that, he started to use perfect Simplified Chinese to chat. I didn't know that such a perfect translation software exists at all. His Simplified Chinese was just as of a native speaker's. And the second person could not answer any question about country music. And the last one is the stupidest, I asked him to write down " Hi, Gianni, I am Luka" on a paper, and shoot a picture with his face. He did it, but the picture is fake, although he photoshopped the photos perfectly, the name of the star is Luke Bryan, not Luka. How is it possible, that a country singer doesn't know his name. 🤣✌

28:15 "roll" was probably in response to your "滾/滚" (a direct translation of it). Pretty much an "F off to you, too!" but done lazily. Thanks for your hard work in exposing and creating more awareness of these scamming acts. I'm sure they will all get what's coming to them.

I love the way you tell your stories! I was born and raised in Taiwan. In fact, when I was little (around ten years ago), I have heard of the saying, “Women are made of water. 女人是水做的” As I remembered, this sentence is used to describe that women are as clean as clear water and should be treated gently and carefully. Of course, nowadays people don’t really say that to describe women anymore.

You can start at something very low, like $1/month. This is half the price of a coffee. And once you get more money, you can raise it. I currently give $100/month to both C-Milk & Serpentza! I give so that others who are unable to afford it, can still enjoy the content.

Good show Winston, highly entertaining ! Lol You remind me of my Dad in the old days of telemarketing if he received a call from one of those jerks that would never shut up, he would just put the receiver down on his wooden desk and let it vibrate. When i asked him about the call he told me they called me so let them pay for it! Lol thanks Winston your the greatest.

[@drorjs]

I'm amazed at her patience for doing this.

[@benjaminharold5154]

It seems so silly that someone can get pulled into these things. But loneliness can be a real " handicap" in seeing thru them. Not so long ago my good friend went thru a nasty divorce that left him heart broken. One day we were chatting and he started talking about a "lady" he met online. He was so excited . Then he showed me a pic. She was ridiculously gorgeous, and then he stated she needed some help and he had send some gift cards. I felt terrible having to convince him he was being scammed.

[@lilolmecj]

Tough situation, you were a true friend. What these people steal more than $$ is people’s hope, generosity, and even their confidence in their own judgment ( ok the fact that they got sucked in might suggest their judgment is off for whatever reason), but much more than money is fleeced. I hope your friend finds healing of his whole situation.

I didn't think I'd last through the full half hour, but no, and the last minute's payoff was hilarious. Thanks Winston. My long ago partial study of Chinese allowed me to to be 'rolling' in laughter for some time. Now I'm immunized against another scam from China.

[@davidmehnert6206]

Back in 1988, in Sichuan, when I was backpacking across China, I was victim of a (simpler) pig-butchering scam that involved the theft of a rented bicycle, against which my passport had been held as collateral. I can remember telling off a crowd of gathered locals - all of whom had apparent knowledge of the scheme - the phrases 邓小平为你感到羞愧 and 你的祖先会为你感到羞耻, which may not have been commonly heard out of the mouth of a 22-year-old American tourist, but honestly attracted a huge, startled crowd who looked genuinely like they had seen a ghost. My Princeton and Middlebury Chinese was never more fluent, I’m ashamed to say, than when I was very angry. 我现在已经忘记了我所有的中文。Thanks for your videos.

These scammers truly don't have any morals g! It truly pisses me off, that they go after the most vulnerable, the one's that are lonely and just want a friend or a partner. I've seen so many on my countries TV and the people that get taken for a ride are always older. It's such a messed up thing to do!

[@ShidaPenns]

I'm disabled and can't work so obviously pretty poor, scammers don't even blink when they find that out, I think they just see that as making it easier to take from me. If they had morals, they wouldn't be scammers.

[@Douglas-vg9hi]

Love that you scammed them for over two months, that's very awesome. I went through a period of getting one or two of these a month for about 7 months. They were fun to mess with and drag along. Even had one end the communication by letting me know that it was all a scam and I shouldn't talk to them.
