But that other stuff doesn't just lead to people getting bilked of their money. it eats away at the foundation of our society and can lead -- as it has in the recent past -- to war, mass destruction, mass murder.

Yep. This bastardization of the word "guru" really stems from a textbook case of cultural appropriation. That term encompasses a broad category of different acts which involve cherry-picking aspects of someone else's culture with the express purpose of "spicing up" one's own image, without respecting the culture they took it from. Mind you, not every act of using something that came from a different culture is cultural appropriation - it's more specifically when you are doing that with the intent of taking a little slice of the culture itself and using it to, again, spice up aspects of your own image. But if you are using the element from a different culture with the intent of using the thing itself and are willing to respect when people from the culture whose thing it is say it's socially inappropriate within the culture they came from, then it's not cultural appropriation.

Whenever I get scam phonecalls and only if I have the time to waste I usually manage to scam them for my own amusement, here's how I do it : The phone rings with an unknown number which is the first flag(1) If it's a robot voice or recording I hang up and immediately block all future calls from that number(2). If it's a human and they start into their script the fun begins, I say "just a second while I get my cup of tea" with a cheerful quip and put the phone on speaker(3). Now I'm wasting their time. They can hear me rummaging around making noise and patiently wait convinced they have a sucker. ... "Just a moment ..." I say and that's it(4). I've had them holding for as long as 10 minutes before they bail. Harmless to me if I have the time but it cost them time they can't use to scam some senior. When they finally hang up I repeat step (2) 🤣 stay safe people! P.S. what's with all the duct cleaning scams? They're the best to punk! 🥰

not necessarily, scammers just use any pics & videos of "approachable" looking people

Imitation is the best form of flattery. They adore you, James.

I get notified of so many scammers responding to my past comments - so sad honestly!

It’s so nice to have a clean comment section again

the confident they have to reply to james with these accents is outstanding lmaooo

Because they don't care, it's the beauty of it: if it works, it works: free money for little work (and for Africa, 0.5eth is like massive in most places). If it doesn't, who cares, don'tbe ashamed and skip to the next one who gets caught in. So profitable, it's never gonna end. Depending on the lack of education in some places in the world, empathy and consciousness can also be differently managed by individuals than eg. in the western standard.

To expect KZread to do anything about this is like expecting a doctor to start talking to you about healthy eating. It's never gonna happen because there's no money in it. Anyway, another great video, thank you. One of the problem with the scammers is that everyone just ignores their comments: sometimes I think the best solution would be that everybody just jump on them and tell them to F off. Imagine a scammer posting about how Mrs Ubuntu Millawatu has helped them so much and then getting 500 comments, telling them to get lost.

Actually no, there's a lot more that youtube could be doing. These accounts mass comment on a bunch of channels, they seem to have a clear pattern, they also get a bunch of bot likes that youtube could pattern for. KZread could be making a lot more than it's doing.

Actually youtube's AI could see that you aren't watching the videos just commenting like a maniac which is kinda of a dead giveaway. And if people just do this just to get attention well that is also ok, if they get a ban that gives them some time to cool off :D

Thank you James. I’ve seen so many of these posts on other KZread channels lately, I keep reporting them. Unfortunately some people will get scammed 😞

The sad part is, I don't think KZread even _wants_ to eradicate scam comment accounts; they increase the overall interaction on content significantly, which means more people click on the videos they target due to them being recommended more, meaning more watch time overall, which then, in turn, means more money in KZread's pocket.

To this day there is still just a sad, lonely Nigerian Prince, sat on that pile of cash he wanted out safely, wondering why none of his sincere, genuine emails never received any reply...

The guy in the testemony video : “ it’s not a scam i guarantee…” Me : 👁👄👁*it’s a scam

Thank you for this video. So KZread's removal of dislikes can now been seen as mistake as it allows scammers to go unchecked.

The fact that KZread allows these scammers to impersonate any KZreadr they want to as much as they want to makes me suspicious that they get a cut of the profits the scammers bring in.

I started watching you from an anti-MLM page, but you have consistently put out good content, and I really appreciate you shedding light on this aspect of this site. Really glad that you put stuff out like this to protect your followers from scammers. Anyone can fall for a stupid trick if they're in the right position or desperate enough, so it's really important to inform people! Thank you for being that guy.

Same here, started with MLM as I nearly got sucked into one pre-internet.

Unfortunately, this is a huge problem for the content creators right now! Insane quality of the video James! Respect!

Nicely done, and clearly exposed. I do not envy you being misrepresented by these scammers. I always report any that is see in comments. Keep up the seriously good work.🖤🇨🇦

Your videos are so much fun to watch, You story telling is amazing.

You're a journalist, cinematographer, and artist. Once again...well done.

Dude, the video editing in your videos is top notch. Also, It's great to see the creators starting to take this issue into their own hands.

Your documentary style is amazing

The more deceptive ones are the "Omg I made so much money thanks to this XXXX guy, man so thankful I found this guy" and yeah KZread does fucking NOTHING about it I swear.

I can't get over the beautiful editing of this video... A real pleasure to watch.

Wow, I love this! That must have felt like such a rabbit hole to go down, lol. But that's great that you confronted them. I've noticed those comments from multiple fake accounts trying to make it sound legit. It's like fake positive ratings on Amazon products. We're in an age in which we have to assume _at least some_ of what we read from other people's feedback may well be fake.

It ain't just investment channels, seen plenty of these same scams on religious channels. The play book is always about money.

I'm happy someone is doing something about it! And that the scammers get their karma back.

I've often wondered if anyone actually contacts these scammers. You've just answered my question

I had those accounts reply to me on 50% of the comments I leave, and I've always been curious about the scam.
