I missed the part as to why you had to send him back money. He was buying a car from you and "paid" for it with the phony check so why are you sending him money?

He did mention "shipper". Usually the scammer sends the purchase price plus extra you are supposed to forward on to the shipper. Either the shipper is actually them, or a problem arises where they can't use the shipper so they need you to send them back the extra.

The check is part of the scam. Usually they contain another persons information, so had Mike cashed the check, it might have gone through, but it could later cause a fraud alert and investigation.

He's infact so good at this I thought for a while it was fake or scripted sort of like reality tv Then I saw a video where he mentioned the team that work with him and thought that makes so much more sense now

The way to really make an internet scammer cringe is to send a message saying that you will not close the deal unless the person sends a digital photo of themselves with a plastic bucket full of fresh caught fish balanced on the head while standing on one foot.

That’s so very kind of you of what you’re doing. May God bless you and your business. Many people need help in this time.

Love that you played him at this own game … well done Mike

Hello Mike, That was one of the best instructional videos on how to scam a scammer that I have ever viewed. You Rock. Thanks again.

The sad part is these scams work, I pray it's not a high percentage but they must since they keep going on.

The best video from Chevy Dude for sure.

Way to go C.D.,that was a great public service video! I love it when you can stick it to the bad guy!

This was awesome, I appreciate the effort you went through to get the scammer. They are a dime a dozen as the do not call system the federal government put into place is worthless. Amazing he actually sent you some money!

Love the program! You’re doing good work

As an owner of a detail shop I get texts like this all the time. People will ask prices for high end service on multiple vehicles and then try to “overpay” in advance for these services that never get done and then they want you to refund their money back to them.

That was great! Next time mail him a Dunkin Donut card with 30 cents on it with a note that has his amount he requested on it!🤣😂🤣

Love the Keys to Empower program. Keep up the good work.

Good awareness video! I work in banking and I can tell you that too many people fell for this scam, unfortunately.

thank you for sharing the story about the scamming.. its really educational! keep it up!

This was an awesome twist to your normal videos!

Thanks for the video Mike!

I’m digging your free car program, brother! I like that stuff!

Lol this is amazing to have you do this to one of them and take advantage of others.

..scammer payback.....Great channel 👍

Wow great job putting this together!

I love that you did that. I get scams all the time and I'll do the same thing. I'll play with them and drag it out for the same reason, if they're busy with me, they're not taking advantage of someone else.

Good catch, Mike and Team.I like the way you handled it 😅

So glad you were able to determine he was a scammer. He sounded like he was part of a ring.

Yoooo I've been watching scammer payback for some time now. This is the third video I've seen of you and you mentioned scammer payback. 😅 looking forward to seeing more videos.

I'm enjoying your videos. How would you deal with a salesperson trying to get you to buy a more expensive model. I am in the near future going to buy a 2023 Chevrolet Colorado Work truck. I only want a few extra options. The turbo plus engine is the most expensive option we want. Then the sliding rear window and center console with the AC vents.

The 3 youtubers I watch the most 😊

Great job. Love it.

This is awesome! we have scammers call all the time at work .we let them go threw there nonsense. they we make up credit cars numbers. They come back and say that's not a real number. I assure them yes it is run it again. they get tired of are nonsense and hang up!

The best one is the IRS one...I strung a scammer along for a good hour ( I was bored and wanted to mess with him) and he said his piece and I said " your the IRS....you guys owe me money!...give me my money!...he said F you and hung up. I couldn't stop laughing

good stuff, I have seen that scam a few times

Great job my friend. 😊

Glad you knew about Pleasant Green and involved him. He's the master.

Thank you so much for that bit of exceptional entertainment. Reminds me of when I almost fell for a Kijijji scam to sell two cameras to a scammer. I only picked up on it when his address was a place in Nigeria. So he and I had quite a long discussion about his dishonesty and it was none too friendly. At one point he tried to justify his actions by saying that over there they have nothing and we are so rich here in Canada. Well he go a lesson in profanity (which I learned early in life working with American GI's from the south), and I hung up feeling a little self satisfied....not my greatest moment for sure but it sure made me feel better....:))

Nice work bro!!

🤣🤣 It's a classic, great video 👍

You need the pleasant green sound affect when thr scammer clicks the link

Scammer pay back is the bomb!

Got hit with one of those scams back in 2016, lost over a grand. Was at a low point and wasn't paying attention.

That happens a lot in car business. But that happened to me through my bank. But everything worked itself out. People cramming to be with the bank. That's next level scamming.

Scammers are to easy and friendly to entrap you. Your spidey senses are tingling 😊

I recently had a similar experience selling a vehicle on ebay. After a few emails with the buyer I knew something was amiss. I sold the vehicle to him for $40k. The buyer sends me a check for $45k. Huge red flag there. I called the bank where the check was issued from and within seconds they told me the check was fake. What the buyer wanted me to do was since he wrote the check for 5k more than what he originally paid for it and send him a $5k check via PayPal and a few other companies. He said he made a mistake writing the correct amount. Nobody makes a 5k mistake when buying a vehicle that originally sold for 40k. After playing around with him for a few days I sent him a message saying "game over". I told him I knew what he was doing and should feel ashamed for trying to scam me. I told him he could go to prison for what he did along with a few other things. Funny thing is he replied saying I was right and now felt bad for trying to take advantage of me and other people. I kept in touch with him for awhile and low and behold he got a job with a technology company making fairly good money. He said he got to thinking about what I had told him and decided to turn his life around. That made me feel so good knowing that I helped him to be on the straight and narrow.

those scams are always worded the same - anytime there is cashier check and mover its a scam

Beware of opening these attachments in these emails, the scam might be to have you open that and nothing to do with the car... if the device you are on has permissions to install software then opening an attachment like this could kick off an install in the background silently. If that happen the application could start sending all your data from that PC to them or install a remote tool that allows them to connect remotely without knowing.

Interesting video. Just had a similar exp selling a motorcycle on cycletrader. Guy(Robert Doyle) seemed legit and sent a bank check, above selling price. When I took it to the bank (same bank as check), teller immediately recognized it as illegitimate. I texted him check was invalid and never heard from him again

We had a similar situation. A guy sent my wife a check to be a mystery shopper. The company address on the check, the return address on the envelope and the bank were three different states. Contacted Postal Inspection and FBI. No one cared.

The subject title was sneaky. 😉 At first I thought you were successfully scammed despite getting all the red flags. Made me curious to keep watching to see how it would all play out.

Wait, he, or someone, mailed it via USPS, that means someone committed postal fraud. I'd (not ID, really, I mean I'd) reach out to the USPS with this. Somebody, somewhere, someone working in concert with Ron, committed some serious felonies.

Duh They hire dimwitted Americans to act as the money and mail mules. Where have you been living? Common knowledge

1 question: What happen to the bank check received by the scammer?

Hi, I’m leaving this comment in regards to grammar, in the email you sent to get the drivers licence information, you spelt Drivers Licence incorrectly, was it a mistake or to try to see if the noticed?

Couple points: You do not have to have a license in the US if you are a doctor, nor any other form of ID not required of any other citizen. It is not in any way illegal to mail cash within the US. Overseas, anything over 10k must be declared(may have been lowered to 5k now). At least that is US law, the recipient's nation may have other laws.

Good for you. Those POS deserve to get played. I had one try to scam me.Cant discuss it here but they had my heart thumping in my chest.

Its simple, they send you a check that is for the amount of the car and a delivery service to pick up the car and take ti wherever they want it. The check is for way ove the price of the car and service. Then they tell you after you cash the check to send them the extra money back. I had a guy try it when I sold my old T-Bird for engine only. I was selling car for 400 bucks and got a check for 4000. The name on the check was for an electrian company in Florida, but he was in Colorado suposedly. I googled the company and called them. They informed me there was no way they would use company checks for something like that. Course I knew the scam and was only calling to let them know they were being used in a scam.

Doctors usually buy Hyundai's from small lots sight unseen... 🤣

I work for a credit union and I see tons of Members lose money in so many scams. A lot of times the elderly and a TON of money.

I absolutely LOVE messing with scammers! Keep stringing them along. The longer the better. Their "bosses" will cane them or worse if they don't get money from you.

MIKE YOU LEGEND 💀

Dang they straight up finessed my boy... Caught em lackin' and they handled they business.. come on man you didn't have to do my homie Chevy dude like that...

Epic Phone call. Car running on 1 cylinder and 3 tires 😆

You should have brought the check to the bank. They copy bad checks and send them out to every bank. This keeps the scammers from using that fake check anywhere else. He'll have to make a new fake check to continue the scam.

AI BDC? what app or software is this could help me alot

Mike if you look at the Drivers license it says non driver. Just a state ID. Send him Monopoly Money. Mike I was selling a Like new Cub Cadet tractor on Craigs list and I got an email from somebody that said they lived out of the country and wanted to buy it. Had it listed for $3500. Told me they would send a check for $7000 and wanted me to ship the tractor to Spain and keep whatever was left. Took the check to my bank and they called the bank that it was drawn on and they said the account and the bank codes did t match their bank. Sent an email back to them saying the check bounced and told them to send me another one. Never heard after that.

When we got a scammer check, I called the bank it was drawn on. They told me it was a fraud and knew about it.

Love the work you do. I aim to do similar content like this. The scam looked scammy to begin with

That sounds familiar I had the same thing, but I caught on really quickly.

I do not understand, why would Mike’s car store send money to the buyer? Did the scammer say he no longer wanted the vehicle? Asking to return his purchase money? If the scammer sent you a check and the bank gave Mike’s car store cash, then you should have sent the scammer the car. If you did not either give the scammer a vehicle or his money back, that is called fraud. If the bank rejected the check, then Mike’s car store was just leading the scammer down the path, just to make a video.

I love it man !!!!!!!

I am confused. Why would you send him money back? I missed a step somewhere....you cashed the check....so then the next step was him taking possession of the car, correct??

I reply that is fine, 90 day wait for the check to clear and they pay the shipper direct. I am selling the the vehicle for a person at the local PD and they will verify everything is legit after the check clears. That will be another 90 day wait, total of 6 months wait. Is that OK with you? I never hear back....

Glad you got that scammer

How much for the hoverboard?

yep I almost got scammed by somebody in Nigeria years ago too. the birthplace of scammers

Here’s the best advice. It’s not 1999 anymore. Don’t accept private party cashiers checks. Period. Cash, or ACH only.

Rachel spelled driver's (driers) wrong in the first reply. Maybe she was using scammer spelling lol. Great vidoeo.
