    I'll add the dubbed tracks to this one, you can go back to the original English audio by clicking the gear/settings button on the KZread player, then going to "Audio Tracks" and "English Original". I'm trying a new "multi-lingual" voice across all of them, so if you've seen any of my previous videos with dubs let me know how this voice compares.

    When I first started watching scam-baiting videos, I thought it was ridiculous that scammers would say that there are multiple sheriffs coming to arrest the person they're calling, but since I started watching corrupt-cop videos last year, I now know that cops can't do ANYTHING on their own, not even wipe without half the department for "backup", so that's actually realistic. 🤦

Even countries that have strict gun laws like the UK allow suppressors. And you can get them in the US with the right paperwork to the BATF and if your state allows it. Mine does but it is a $200 tax plus the cost of the suppressor your local sheriff has to sign off on it and the wait period is normally close to a year. But it is illegal without the paperwork.

    I once called a police department for some questions. People there did not help me much. After a week and several months later, I got the same person kept calling me and pretended to be someone at the police department. He was trying to collect money for the department fund. The last time, I screamed at him and saying, "Hey, you got the federal pay you more than me, why do you still want to get more money". That was the last time for him to call me!

    One scam I recently had the pleasure to put an end to: female voice asks, "Hello............don't you remember, you asked me to call you back." I asked, "What country are you calling from?" and they hung up! They are trying to get people to say "Yes" and that "Yes" response will cost you big time. Just say "No" to everyone you do not know and they won't call you again. Most re AI anyway and they a trolling for that "Yes" answer. Also, they are preying on anyone regardless of age.....all they want to hear is "Yes"--------- If you do not know the person, just say "NO"----or you can play with them if you want just to take up their time as long as you don't say yes to anything. When anyone calls that I don't know and they call me by name, my first question to them is, "Who wants to know?" Some hang up when you ask who THEY are.

    As a crocheter who has seen complaints in various FB/Reddit groups about fake patterns, it's less clothing (although I'm sure that exists) and more amigurumi (3d stuffed creations, like plushies) patterns that we're seeing be AI generated and fake. Some popular crocheting YTers have had AIs generate patterns to try out, with hilarious results, but more frequently you will find an ad for an item pattern, but an experienced crocheter can look closely at the stitches in the "finished product" and tell that the finished result is actually not possible. (For example, yarn colour changes that go beyond perfect to actually invisible, an insane number of colour changes within a small section of the project, etc.)

    Car owners that have had a scratch repaired in your car's windscreen, WATCH OUT. It could be that some glass repair company calls you to inform you that they have a "recall" on your windscreen and that they need to replace it FREE OF COST. NOT TRUE - They do NOT have a recall order and it will NOT be free but it will cost 10 times the amount of replacing it with an actual windscreen replacement. Some folks got bills for 6000 Dollars and the work order has some weird scribble on it that is not yours.

    I kept stumble on people asking "Is this Lego set real?" on an AI image every few days or so. I reckon AI can never create a truly convincing Lego build, at least to a trained Lego fan like me, because Lego only produce so many pieces, therefore only so many possible connections can be made, plus some other stuff. Essentially, it's still those who aren't familiar the most vulnerable.
