Fake Check? | A Scam Story #2
Have you ever tried selling something online and had to deal with scammers? I'm trying to sell my couches and I've got someone texting who seems pretty suspicious. I've decided to document my interactions with him. What do you think? Is this guy for real?

It's probably Musa trying to get revenge on you for not sending those 60$ and electronics

Hey Pleasant Green! These cliff hangers are killing me man! You do such a great job at story telling. You deserve much more recognition for your work. Would love to see you story tell on a TED talk. Keep up the great work.

Dude can't even distinguish between "there" and "their"
Pleasant Green, you are the best at nailing these scammers. I can't wait until these idiots show up at a PO Box and try to figure how to get the couch out of the tiny box.
Movers arrive. "Say hello to my little friend!" BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG!
The point of this scam is that you pay him for the movers and then he just disappears, there won't be even movers coming
I absolutely love your videos! I wish they were longer though 😔
I'm loving the new 'set' 😊 the production quality is awesome and I'm loving following the story! I would get so flustered and angry if I were you! I love how you keep your cool enough to be smart about your replies. Looking forward to the next instalment 😃

I love your videos! Been here since the start!!
Why have I watched/listened to this whole series 4 times???
I absolutely love this channel its so comical, but every time I look at him it reminds me of the show Office Space lol
Dude, Your Channel Is Just Awesome You Smart Asf... Great Videos.!!
WOW this is an amazing story and I watched 1 through 8
All scammers are like, let me take notes 📝 to learn more and get better and better 🤣
My heart was on attack when I saw u have uploaded.
I hope this series goes as well as the other one
Enjoying your videos back in the day when I was living in the condo I got a check in the mail it said deposit this check in the mail and the money's yours I didnt need money that bad at the time I went eeeeh and threw it away your video made me remember that
Yay! Another series!
Scammers are so stupid. When they use you to cash out a check or do any work for them, they expect you to do it immediately even if the bank is closed or you’re busy at the moment but the scammer keeps telling you to do it immediately no matter what.
Hey Ben I love your videos this is helping me a lot dealing with scammers I have gotten
The heck!!! The SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME A COUPLE OF WEEEEEKS AGO!!! He said he was in the Army and stationed in West Virginiaaa! He sent a fraudulent check for about 2000 dollars and was trying to buy some tires that my husband was selling on OfferUp!!!
This activity is real use of KZread great sir keep on going
I like the fact that he adds the text sound effects
I ran into the same thing about a year and a 1/2 ago. I immediately could tell the check was fake. Plus the places where the business was didn't even exist. I called him out on it and they wanted to argue about it.
The movers don’t exist. That is the scam. When the check bounces, they take $800 from ur account.
If it’s that easy to figure out if a cheque is fraudulent or not, why don’t more people do it? I don’t understand this.
I’m making everyone I know watch this. I love it that much
Scammers depends on the sweet trusting nature of people. Parents should caution their kids of being too trusting and when thinks are too good to be true, its probably is.
Woot! WOOT! a new upload 😁
Really love your videos!!!!
The way he talks about money makes everything clear. He need the funds right now, just send it right away cuz its so very urgent.
I won't be back. If I wanted cliff hangers I would pop some old serial tv shows in!
If the check is fraudulent why would the bank cash it? Wouldn't they hold it until it clears ?
I had a similar issue when trying to sell my bike. When i received the check i realized it was faked and so i tore it up and told the guy i had done so and then cut all contact with him.
I live across the street from that check place
This same thing happened to me. Sent me $1800. I figured it was a scam also... but stayed open minded. Actually cashed it. But luckily waited and it didnt clear. But they did close my bank account after lol.
Call Joel, he'll know what to do.
Thanks man,now I did my research.
0:46 "it looks to me more like a Mexican restaurant" it literally says Insurance in Spanish
Man, your videos should have many more views
I've had this happen when I was homeless and 19 in Florida. Someone on Craigslist offered house keeping job, and sent me a check of 3k. To buy the cleaning supplies and pay whatever I didn't spend to a 3rd party "boss". The check came, and it was from a church, not a housekeeping company. Walmart wouldn't even let me cash it lol
I didn’t know about this atm this literally happened to me and the check was 1650 and I ended up believing him. I was selling my old wheels I just really needed the money due to this pandemic of COVID. I’m so pissed and fuckign annoyed I just want my money back and have this dude be locked up.

Same thing happend to me yesterday. I'm so pissed. Did you ever get your money back? How tf does the bank let a fake check get deposited and I then lose the money. I'm trying to get my money back
Lmao dude I am in Palestine, TX I didn't even mean to click on your video it just came on after I was looking for how to tell if a check is fake but I heard you say Palestine, TX so I watched it lol that's crazy lol
Hey guys! I hope you have a nice day and stay safe, God bless you!
The same thing happend to me !! The fake check , the guy rushing me to deposit funds ....i attempted to deposit the funds and the payment was returned so i called the bank and they confirmed it was fradulent ... lost on what to do and hoping my greendot did not file a report on me ...
I fell for this scam and they almost got away with it to, but lucky I held on to the money cause as soon as I withdrew the money the check came back bad!
This is a dead end saga
Omgoodness! Crazy!
I’ve called a Bank that way to see if a check was legit and they were no help.
Wow after Joel, Ben finally got a real scammer (again).
yes me too... i told em i wanted cash cash only.....they tried it on my friend.. i told him tak his check to poliiice station.. police told him dont cash, its a scam that he will have to pay the bank..

Hand movers, Texas. Gotta move them Texas hands, son.
how do they know your address? I am assuming you only provided your PO box information..?
I have already been a victim so I will like to work with you. The question is how
put confetti bombs in the couches
ive been down that road people would send me checks for my old cleaning bussiness i always contacted them told them it was fraud and that i wouldnt cash it i told them to leave me alone
I learned something new today^^ (I didnt know the word fraudulent^^)
Tell them that bank thinks the check looks suspicious and has put a hold on funds for 10 days.
Wow, Americans still use cheques? How very 1970s!
This is a very well known scam.
This happened to me. I tried to sell as set of rims and got scammed the same way. Wish I would have seen this before it happened?

Happend to me also just recently I'm trying to get my money back. Did you get yours back and if so how??
Tell the scammer, that you tried to deposit the check and they immediately called the bank for quality insurance and after a while, you were greeted by the police and teached about scams and more...
The way i see is that if it was a legitimate curator they wouldn't bother trusting someone to split a check between seller and moving company.
Can anyone tell me how to find the rest of thiz story please also does the us really still use checks in nz they are no longer used u cant deposit one or get a book to write for at leadt like 2 years now
That's where I always hit a brick wall I'm interested in how your going to do this.

I get the scammers joke now. HND movers? As in, pay the check and they'll move their HND (or what the autocorrect is suggesting for HND)
I got a fake check from someone saying that same thing
I deposited a fake cheque and I'm so worried.d I was naive . Can the bank return the funds to the sender and I close my account?

I have this crap happen everytime i list on Craigslist. Also a new scam with PayPal, try to get my phone number and PayPal info 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
how do you screen record you phone ? for the mesages
Three minutes a video stinks to high heaven.
So the reason they want u to deposit the check because it take 3 to 7 business days for the check to clear depending on your bank so the faster you deposit the check you can get your funds to.move the couch to.some nigerians scammers and then ur check will bounce after the money has been paid and thats why they choose small banks so u dont call the bank
Leave the couches outside in the rain so the movers don't break in ;)
You were really evil with the end :(
Alright, german guy here who has no idea about paying with checks (extremely unusual these days). What does fraudulent check mean? You said you can cash it but it would be some risk? Don't get it. Can someone explain please?

Hi! It's made on fake account. So if he cashes it, his bank will find out it's fake when the other bank sends it back to them.

I think a lot of people can fall for bad cheques. Can you answer my question about bad cheques? What do the scammers have from it? How do they get money when the cheque bounces? I understood from other videos it looks as if your money is there and then it is gone and the bank charges you for a bounced cheque. I thought you just lose a bit of money like with any bounced cheque. How do you recognize if it is a real one or not?
Was there ever another part?
What actually happens when you don’t take the money out, does somebody arrive or what actually happens
Very simple buddy u do what I did when they mailed me a fake check! I ripped it into pieces and threw it away never worried about the movers because they never existed in the first place!🤷♂️

What do you mean what do you do?.. when they show up you tell them get off your property or you're going to call the cops, the movers are probably in on it too.
