00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:02.120
there are scammers everywhere from

00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:04.520
YouTube comments to phone calls I even

00:00:04.520 --> 00:00:06.680
have scammers pretending to be me at

00:00:06.680 --> 00:00:09.920
this point yeah my name is kid kid buger

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:11.799
doing how many video how many videos

00:00:11.799 --> 00:00:14.120
have you made now kid and my YouTube

00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:16.880
videos are many I don't even know why do

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:18.840
you wear the glasses though the glasses

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.840
are really I think the glasses are like

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:22.680
offputting they're kind of

00:00:22.680 --> 00:00:25.080
ugly if I want to do something to fight

00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:26.920
back there is not enough time in the day

00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:28.720
for me to just talk to all of them

00:00:28.720 --> 00:00:30.880
myself so my team and I built a trap

00:00:30.880 --> 00:00:32.800
that would keep them occupied even while

00:00:32.800 --> 00:00:35.079
I sleep welcome to the easy send

00:00:35.079 --> 00:00:38.079
automated system our award-winning

00:00:38.079 --> 00:00:40.120
platform is set up to allow anyone with

00:00:40.120 --> 00:00:42.200
a code to easily withdraw and manage

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.520
funds the concept's pretty simple I give

00:00:44.520 --> 00:00:47.399
a scammer a fake Bitcoin gift card or

00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:49.280
receipt and they think it's going to be

00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:51.280
easy to redeem in their mind it's a

00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.160
board game with no obstacles or

00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:55.520
challenges and free Bitcoin in the end

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:57.559
they've already won but in reality my

00:00:57.559 --> 00:00:59.280
team and I have designed a series of

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:02.199
challenges and obstacles that make this

00:01:02.199 --> 00:01:05.040
literally impossible just one last thing

00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.119
how would you rate your experience today

00:01:09.119 --> 00:01:12.560
goodbye that guy has spent over 5 days

00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.479
playing I was not expecting that that's

00:01:15.479 --> 00:01:19.640
five time 24 we're talking real life

00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.759
days this scammer is so convinced he's

00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:23.479
going to get this fake Bitcoin that he

00:01:23.479 --> 00:01:26.360
once visited the website 40 days in a

00:01:26.360 --> 00:01:28.119
row because he truly believed he was

00:01:28.119 --> 00:01:31.640
going to get Bitcoin that doesn't exist

00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.280
we we built the ultimate mouse trap well

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:36.520
scammer trap and they're obviously not

00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:38.280
playing a board game like this he's been

00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.399
sucked into to this fake Bitcoin themed

00:01:41.399 --> 00:01:44.159
website where we log every little

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.399
interaction every day when this guy gets

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:48.840
on the website we keep track of exactly

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.119
what he does what support tickets he

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:53.560
tries to open what capses he has to

00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:55.360
solve what loading bars he has to

00:01:55.360 --> 00:01:58.439
painstakingly wait for and at no point

00:01:58.439 --> 00:02:00.799
will he ever receive Bitcoin this isn't

00:02:00.799 --> 00:02:03.640
just one scammer it's hundreds of

00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.200
scammers and over the past few months I

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.319
am happy to report that we've been able

00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:13.640
to waste 60 days worth of their time

00:02:13.640 --> 00:02:17.720
1,440 hours are gone they will never get

00:02:17.720 --> 00:02:19.680
that time back they have been sucked

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.080
into this lie thinking the Bitcoin they

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.080
stole is this close but they are never

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.360
going to get it it literally doesn't

00:02:27.360 --> 00:02:30.160
exist and I want to show this to you but

00:02:30.160 --> 00:02:31.480
I have to give you a little context

00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:33.640
lately scammers have been using Bitcoin

00:02:33.640 --> 00:02:36.040
ATM machines as an easy way to take

00:02:36.040 --> 00:02:38.760
money from their victims once you insert

00:02:38.760 --> 00:02:40.920
cash you can send money directly to

00:02:40.920 --> 00:02:42.720
their wallet and it happens pretty

00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:44.840
quickly at the end they ask you for a

00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.280
receipt because sometimes they have to

00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:48.360
verify a few things it typically has a

00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.640
QR code we've done all kinds of stuff to

00:02:50.640 --> 00:02:52.959
make them angry like pretending we

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:55.440
completed the maze But ultimately the

00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.840
scam ends when they get this receipt and

00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:00.200
that got us wondering what if the 18 00

00:03:00.200 --> 00:03:02.920
number on the back of a gift card or the

00:03:02.920 --> 00:03:05.599
QR code on a receipt took them to our

00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:07.360
website what if we trick them into

00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.560
registering an account with a phone

00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:12.280
system that keeps them on hold forever

00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.519
just because they think they're about to

00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:16.959
get Bitcoin well that's what I told my

00:03:16.959 --> 00:03:19.799
team anyway and then we built it okay

00:03:19.799 --> 00:03:22.519
they you have to on this number won

00:03:22.519 --> 00:03:25.080
receive okay yeah you want me to hang up

00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.040
is that what you said no no I don't want

00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:29.200
you to hang up no no I want you to be

00:03:29.200 --> 00:03:31.319
online hang up don't hang

00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:34.640
up yes okay yes don't hang up oh he's

00:03:34.640 --> 00:03:37.239
we're in nothing just come back home and

00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:38.720
keep me on the line all right he's on

00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:41.480
the website he entered the code keep me

00:03:41.480 --> 00:03:43.680
on the line don't hang up one of the

00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.799
first obstacles we built for scammers

00:03:45.799 --> 00:03:48.439
was this fake capture system that uses

00:03:48.439 --> 00:03:51.200
AI generated art if scammers want to

00:03:51.200 --> 00:03:52.799
claim their Bitcoin they would have to

00:03:52.799 --> 00:03:56.280
pass this test in order to log in 50% of

00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:58.680
the time the scammers would lose

00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:00.599
literally like it's it's just a 50-50

00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.519
shot a scammer pretending to be Keo

00:04:02.519 --> 00:04:04.760
Reeves saw this picture when asked how

00:04:04.760 --> 00:04:08.640
many nuts there were he responded it is

00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:11.040
uncountable or another scammer was asked

00:04:11.040 --> 00:04:13.959
to estimate the wave's height in meters

00:04:13.959 --> 00:04:17.959
and simply responded 32 ft some crypto

00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:19.880
recovery scammer said it was a beam

00:04:19.880 --> 00:04:22.800
balance or or balance beam clearly has

00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:25.160
no idea what this thing is most of these

00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.040
captures are open-ended like which car

00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.600
is the fastest is it the pink one the

00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:35.320
green car the red car which frankly I'm

00:04:35.320 --> 00:04:39.039
not even sure is a car we asked scammers

00:04:39.039 --> 00:04:41.440
what the dice roll was and the fake Elon

00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:45.880
Musk wrote 8 and then

00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:48.720
1,232 then followed by

00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.240
1,322 we accepted that answer but it

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.240
makes no sense how many nuts do you see

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.560
one nut no nut these nuts no I'm kidding

00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:01.960
the scammer wrote two nuts which I don't

00:05:01.960 --> 00:05:04.320
know how you get that answer reminds me

00:05:04.320 --> 00:05:06.680
of this fake crypto scammer who said I

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.320
don't play chess in between the capses

00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:11.400
we would put obnoxiously long loading

00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:13.840
bars and by the time they finally get to

00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:15.720
their online dashboard and their account

00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:17.520
is registered they could have easily

00:05:17.520 --> 00:05:19.720
wasted 10 15 minutes at this point a

00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:21.479
scammer is eager to put in their Bitcoin

00:05:21.479 --> 00:05:23.280
wallet because they're anticipating a

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:26.479
huge payout but every time we tell them

00:05:26.479 --> 00:05:28.800
that there's an error oh man I guess you

00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:31.000
can't withdraw your Bitcoin that easily

00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:33.319
but thankfully we have customer service

00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.919
representative standing by

00:05:35.919 --> 00:05:40.479
247 if you can navigate our phone

00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:43.639
tree option five I didn't understand

00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.120
please listen carefully is five I didn't

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.880
understand option five I didn't

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:51.680
understand to claim

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.520
pH like at one point it asks you to

00:05:54.520 --> 00:05:56.840
verify the code on the receipt and no

00:05:56.840 --> 00:05:59.800
matter what you say we always get it

00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.520
wrong and tell you that you have to talk

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:03.479
to a human your current wait time is

00:06:03.479 --> 00:06:06.039
between 10 and 19 minutes there are 13

00:06:06.039 --> 00:06:08.000
callers ahead of

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.360
you you're then told that you're like

00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:12.479
fifth in line and maybe your estimated

00:06:12.479 --> 00:06:15.160
wait time is 10 minutes but there is no

00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.479
one waiting for you so you enter into

00:06:17.479 --> 00:06:20.960
this queue with whole music really good

hold music and every few minutes in

00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:25.479
order to make sure that they're paying

00:06:25.479 --> 00:06:27.039
attention and not just putting the phone

00:06:27.039 --> 00:06:29.520

received was negative perhaps that's

00:12:41.680 --> 00:12:43.240
because the customer service reps were

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.399
fake and then when I would have answered

00:12:45.399 --> 00:12:48.680

00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:20.720
put him back on hold and he waited 3

00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.320
hours for nothing we recently started

00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:26.959
asking scammers to verify their Human by

00:15:26.959 --> 00:15:30.079
drawing things I'm just curious what do

00:15:30.079 --> 00:15:33.360
you think this is if you guessed a worm

00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.440
lifting up a rock you'd be wrong if you

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.639
guess snake with an afro you'd be close

00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:41.880
it's actually supposed to be snake

00:15:41.880 --> 00:15:44.319
wearing a hat but your few scammers did

00:15:44.319 --> 00:15:47.720
a decent job with they're not terrible

00:15:47.720 --> 00:15:50.040
one's kind of cute we ask them to draw

00:15:50.040 --> 00:15:52.160
these images and it's just a 50/50

00:15:52.160 --> 00:15:54.519
chance to get it right or wrong so this

00:15:54.519 --> 00:15:57.519
guy was supposed to draw a cube I don't

00:15:57.519 --> 00:15:59.319
know what these things are are but

00:15:59.319 --> 00:16:02.319
they're for sure not 3D cubes what do

00:16:02.319 --> 00:16:06.279
you think this is a cute little mouse

00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.519
it's supposed to be a rat remember these

00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.600
are multiple scammers trying to draw a

00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:14.360
rat to prove their human to get Bitcoin

00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.199
that doesn't exist it's absolutely

00:16:18.199 --> 00:16:21.040
absurd this is a crow lifting weights

00:16:21.040 --> 00:16:24.319
and here's some robots you get the idea

00:16:24.319 --> 00:16:26.720
one scammer wrote to us saying that it

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.920
is literally impossible to complete the

00:16:28.920 --> 00:16:31.600
human verification to make things secure

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:33.399
for the scammers we told them they would

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:35.120
have to set up a passphrase that

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:38.079
required random entropy the only way

00:16:38.079 --> 00:16:39.880
that we could generate this P phrase is

00:16:39.880 --> 00:16:43.279
if they complete this maze this maze

00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.000
might look simple but it's very hard I

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.880
spent like 10 minutes trying to do it

00:16:47.880 --> 00:16:49.759
and I could not complete it myself

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:51.079
sometimes we actually have to make it

00:16:51.079 --> 00:16:53.920
easier for the scammers ask him what the

00:16:53.920 --> 00:16:57.319
problem is oh what's the hold up is it a

00:16:57.319 --> 00:17:01.360
server issue is it a courier issue are

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:07.439
they are you seeing an error on the

00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:09.959
page problem could be so right sometimes

00:17:09.959 --> 00:17:11.439
it's happen people don't take their

00:17:11.439 --> 00:17:12.799
security quite as seriously as they

00:17:12.799 --> 00:17:14.480

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:53.640
cheese it took this scammer 127 tries to

00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:56.520
complete the Maze and then we reset it

00:17:56.520 --> 00:17:58.960
so he had to do it again at at one point

00:17:58.960 --> 00:18:01.080
I started telling scammers the best way

00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:02.960
to withdraw their funds was to put their

00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:05.240
phone on airplane mode which if you

00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.200
don't know would just make them hang up

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:08.840
that's what I'm saying if I put it in

00:18:08.840 --> 00:18:11.039
air Prem mode I might lost my connection

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.080
that's why I'm saying not if you do it

00:18:13.080 --> 00:18:15.559
right air Prem mode is it wait cuz I

00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:17.120
don't want to lose it on the phone right

00:18:17.120 --> 00:18:19.799
now sir do you want to follow the steps

00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.360
that I'm trying to help you with or or

00:18:22.360 --> 00:18:24.320
not I'm just here to help a lot of

00:18:24.320 --> 00:18:26.720
customers find success switching to

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:28.400
airplane mode so that they're not

00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.000
interfering with anything um that's the

00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:38.360
first step that

00:18:38.360 --> 00:18:42.080
I'm snorted way to kind of reset all

00:18:42.080 --> 00:18:45.159
your settings in the in the system here

00:18:45.159 --> 00:18:47.760
it should be fine

00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:50.280
okay all

00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:53.600
right I do I know all right just count

00:18:53.600 --> 00:18:55.760
down from 10 10

00:18:55.760 --> 00:18:57.320
[Music]

00:18:57.320 --> 00:18:59.799
nine

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:06.520
you got to say it out loud

00:19:06.520 --> 00:19:10.320
though got him okay when we originally

00:19:10.320 --> 00:19:11.880
designed this it was supposed to be

00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:14.480
funny and just waste scammers time while

00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.760
I sleep and we've definitely met that

00:19:16.760 --> 00:19:19.240
goal but a few unexpected things started

00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.360
happening because they trust the system

00:19:21.360 --> 00:19:23.559
so much they would enter in very

00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:25.679
valuable wallets sometimes the wallets

00:19:25.679 --> 00:19:27.320
had hundreds of thousands of dollars

00:19:27.320 --> 00:19:29.120
passing through them and I would be able

00:19:29.120 --> 00:19:31.240
to work with kraken's fraud team to

00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:32.880
investigate and see if we could get

00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.919
things shut down to give you an idea of

00:19:34.919 --> 00:19:36.840
the scams that were disrupting in

00:19:36.840 --> 00:19:40.360
reporting over 280 Bitcoin have passed

00:19:40.360 --> 00:19:42.000
through some of these wallets that's

00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.039
millions of dollars of fraud but that's

00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:46.200
just the tip of the iceberg one night I

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.799
received a message from Kraken support

00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.240
telling me that someone had called in

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:52.840
asking about their Bitcoin stock and

00:19:52.840 --> 00:19:55.480
seemed really confused this woman gave

00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:58.520
Kraken my email address and username at

00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:00.240
this point we're trying to get in touch

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:02.039
with this individual and explain what's

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.159
going on but she's not answering her

00:20:04.159 --> 00:20:06.799
phone call until one day the scammer had

00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.600
her call the fake Bitcoin

00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:12.200
hotline please note that this call is

00:20:12.200 --> 00:20:14.400
being recorded transfer bit if you not

00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.520
wish to be recorded please hang up at

00:20:16.520 --> 00:20:19.799
this time transfer Bitcoin an old woman

00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.799
who had been scammed for 6 years called

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.120
in our system and we were able to walk

00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:27.400
her through everything that's happened

00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.720
and get her the help that she needed I'm

00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:33.600
happy that that I can help because they

00:20:33.600 --> 00:20:35.679
would just keep doing this we'll make

00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:37.799
sure that none of these guys can get on

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.159
your computer

00:20:39.159 --> 00:20:43.200
again um and then we'll sort through

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:46.480
what we need to do next since then a few

00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.679
dozen victims here in the US have called

00:20:49.679 --> 00:20:51.880
in this system and we've been able to

00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.360
help them we've been able to call and

00:20:54.360 --> 00:20:57.120
explain what's going on with the scams

00:20:57.120 --> 00:20:58.720
and get them connected to the people

00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:00.440
that they need locally to pick their

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.960
lives up

00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.240
again Everything Has Changed what

00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:09.400
started off is a joke has become very

00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:13.039
very real I just gave you the history of

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.840
what's happened with this tool and it

00:21:14.840 --> 00:21:17.000
has far exceeded my

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:19.279
expectations the next handful of videos

00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:20.799
on the channel are going to walk you

00:21:20.799 --> 00:21:23.480
through some of the crazy scenarios of

00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.600
scammers that have been in the system

00:21:25.600 --> 00:21:28.159
and victims that we've been able to save

00:21:28.159 --> 00:21:30.559
and I this is this has been one of the

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:32.080
coolest projects that I've worked on

00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:34.039
over the past handful of years if

00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.200
anything I hope that this has inspired

00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:39.039
you to get out there and try stuff this

00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:41.679
was a random idea that we had that we

00:21:41.679 --> 00:21:43.720
thought might even be funny and now has

00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:45.919
turned in to something much bigger than

00:21:45.919 --> 00:21:47.840
I ever could have imagined and thank you

00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:49.360

00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.400
investigate all of these wallets and

scammers that are are coming in it truly

00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:01.240
