Vložit

- How to Protect Yourself from Scam. Scammers get creative and invent new tricks basically every day to steal your money and personal data. The best way to protect yourself, your family and your money is to be aware of their latest tricks. Remember that forewarned is forearmed, and it's always better to be prepared and ready to face the dangers that may wait for you in the street or online.
How to avoid the dream job scam 0:46
You post your CV on a foreign website and wait for a miracle. And you might really receive a call or a letter where a manager tells that your CV is great, you've got this job, and your salary will be even higher than you have expected. But you'll also be asked to pay additional expenses related to your relocation to another country. Or you'll have to buy job-related tutorials that will be supposedly paid back on your first paycheck. You will pay them and even come to another country where no one is waiting for you. It’s not just about money - such scammers can be after your personal information! They may demand from you your social security number, bank account information, or even credit card information. Remember that no one can make you pay for anything in advance or demand your personal information.
Hot to avoid the dropped money scam 3:20
A boy comes up to you in the street and says that you've dropped your money. You take the money, thank the boy and go away. Suddenly his "parents" come up to you and claim that you've stolen the boy's money when he just wanted to make a change. Never take money or other items (a wallet or a ring) if they're not yours. If this type of thing has still happened to you, go to any public place with security cameras and call the police.
How not to fall for lottery scam 5:20
You're offered a free lottery ticket in a store. You scratch it and realize that you're a winner. To get your prize, you have to call a phone number provided on the ticket and provide your personal data. A bit later you find out that these 4 minutes of the phone call have cost you a fortune.
How to protect yourself from hungry ATM scam 6:35
You probably know that scammers use special devices that can read your card number. At the same time, a tiny camera records your PIN. Robbers have started putting a piece of tape in the card slot and cards get stuck in there. Crooks just take your card and walk away while you're calling the bank. It's better to withdraw cash at a bank where people work. If an ATM has eaten your card, don't leave and call the bank via the hotline.
How to use free Wi-Fi safely 9:03
Scammers create free networks with the name of the mall or hotel that you might try to connect to first. Sometimes such a network requires your personal data so crooks get access to your personal or bank information and passwords. If you're in a public place, ask the help desk if they have any free Wi-Fi networks. If you really need to access the internet, it's better to go to a cafe or a restaurant and use reputable networks.

SUMMARY
-Remember that no one can make you pay for anything in advance or demand your personal information. Always check out information about companies as well as their contact details.
-Never take money or other items (a wallet or a ring) if they're not yours. If this type of thing has still happened to you, go to any public place with security cameras and call the police.
-Check the items you want to buy before you take them away and never leave your purchases with strangers.
-Don't take free lottery cards. If you decide to take one and you win, check the information about this lottery on the internet before calling.
-It's better to withdraw cash at a bank where people work.
-Buy a special electronic wallet that offers scam protection. It's called an RFID wallet.
-Try to avoid strangers' offers to try new perfumes on the streets even if they're really interesting.
-If you really need to access the internet, it's better to go to a cafe or a restaurant and use reputable networks instead of using free Wi-Fi.
-Don't open the door if you're not expecting anyone to come over. If the members of a certain organization do come, you should call the company and clarify whether these people work there or not.

BRIGHT SIDE is really the bright side
BRIGHT SIDE Hi
Gtihffyiんello weird person I’m bored and sleepy so don’t bother tryinh to repfiryqriyozugddihgdugfsutfdihgmkfghfty
That happens to me
Reginald Dov
Woman sprays perfume into eyes, other person steals from you … Heck, that's not a scam, that's assault.
I HATE those "try our latest scent" people in the stores. Last time one approached me, I told her "you spray me with that, you're gonna drink the rest of it." She backed off REAL fast. If I want to try a new scent, I will go to the perfume counter, thankyouverymuch!! I have one scent that I love and usually wear that. Some of the other ones smell skunky to me sometimes.
TRUE!
@@BeLiftedUp 😁
But, imagine that happening to you and you just did a laser surgery O_O
exactly
The more I watch this, the more paranoid I get
Same
I have paranoidia that something bad will happen every 2 seconds
@@budy859 Sometimes same.. O.o
Me to
Me too
Hilarious “would you fall for these scams?” ....[Reverse mortgage ad] 😂
How not to fall for any of these scams: don’t trust ANYONE
@Tom Voke yes. are we both thinking of the same reference, or did this show up somewhere other than what I'm thinking of.
not even yourself?
Heh.. sorry,
i dont trust you
I don't even trust me.
Great video. Thank you! My friend got robbed down south for opening the door to two men that were dressed as city workers. I don't open or stop my car if driving to police officer's until I place a call first to make sure it is a real officer. This too has happened they pretend to be officer's they usually target women. Never stop until you call 911 first and confirm.
John 3:16 III% although those are great tips, and valid warnings, you should never call 911 unless it is an emergency. Instead call the police station directly to verify the officers identity.
M John 3:16 Yes, excellent reply and comment!!
It is illegal to use a cell phone while driving.

@@rickdrysdale892 Noice
I love how the bit where he says "would you fall for any of the following scams" was immediately followed by an ad break for some "make money without having to do anything" scheme.
DUUUUUUUUH
Every one kept calling me Mr. 1950's because I don't have an Iphone, don't use a Credit card and pay with cash.
Who's paranoid Now?
dljprogun Same here, and I'm doing fine!👍.
In the old days robbers would figure out when companies made bank deposits; and, rob them on the way. Now they just tap your phone.
Hate to break it to you, but most of the scams I have encountered from my customers have occurred through a land line or through regular mail.
Try to deposit more than $10,000 and see how funny it is when IRS audits you and ceases your bank accounts until you proved where it comes from. Guilty until proven innocent.
You sound like my narcissist brother
Problem is, EVERYONE asks for personal information; even reputable companies, government, rental places, etc. we have no privacy or recourse when it comes to these types of demands.
When I lived in Las Vegas some guys brought in a fake ATM and set it up in a mall. It had a laptop in it recording card information and wouldn't give out any money. A week or two later the crooks came and took out their ATM.
That free perfume samples has a way to avoid them. 1) avoid narrow and at the same time popular pathways 2) have as aggresive face and attitude as you can. Talking from personal experience twice.
And don't make eye contact
Very helpful. Thanks BRIGHT SIDE for posting this.
NO, you should never check your money infront of suspected criminals!
Now that's a life tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You watched another video of bright side and is telling this right
On the one item, where you suggest checking to see if your money is really missing, I must give you a caution: that may backfire, as that ploy has been used in another form. It was the "helpful hawker" ploy from carnival, fair, and street festival venues. A person dressed appropriately for a staff member would call out for people's attention. Then he would advise them pickpockets had been working the area, and they might want to be sure their wallets and valuables had not been stolen.. Naturally, his associates were in the crowd, watching which pockets people used for their property. So even checking your money could expose you to a different form of crime.
When i was 5 they were tried to sell my mom and I a new prefume. I didn't like how it smelled so really loudly I said,"Ewww that smells gross!!"
I don't regret it!
This one works in group...While walking in public, talking on ur cell phone. One guy really pushes u hard from behind while another guy snatches your phone and hide it in pocket. Until you turn back you never know who pushed you or who snatched your phone. You got strangled in confusion who to blame bcoz everybody seems so relax and minding their own business.
Houses with dogs are less likely to be robbed. Even if you just make it look like you have a dog, ie a beware of dog sign and maybe a water bowl outside in the summer might do the trick to deter people.
I've seen a sign with a dog silhouette saying "I can make it to the gate in 3 seconds. Can you?"
That's smart! Also in winter a mans pair of rubber boots outside the door if you are a single lady.
On the front door of my house I have a sign, "Ex-US Marine lives here. These windows and doors are locked for your safety."
We have one reading "Law Enforcement Make Great Neighbors."
@Mike No one at my house is a cop. Our neighbor's son is. I agree. No sign on Skid Row or in the Bronx. That's like saying "Hey, come shoot 2 my house." I may be nuts, but I'm not crazy!! BTW, my older brother IS a cop.
I once had a sticker on the front window of my apartment that read "Warning: If you're found hanging around here at night, you will be found hanging around here in the morning".
@@paulsinclair3753 now that's dark.
I threatened to sodomise a neighbor's friend when he spat at me one evening, now people don't even knock on my door no more 😂
Blessed are the poor.
Thank you for this, Bright Side. Very useful indeed
Thanks for the warnings!!!
I luv dis channel! So interesting!
These are all really common sense. If something is too good to be true then it probably is. Few things in the world are free now. So, eyes open and common sense.
Hammy Shayaddy Common sense isn't so common these days sadly
Jeni Watkins Sadly. And it's getting worse and worse with every generation. The younger a person is, the less hard they wanna work. But these scams are pretty obvious, at least to me.
Hammy Shayaddy Exactly! They seem obvious to me too. But so many people don't see it
Jeni Watkins They don't see it and then they complain. The job one for example, what are the chances that would happen to someone? One in a trillion? The kid one, why would you take the money if it's not yours, especially from a kid. Not to mention the dating and soccer scams all over the world. People dream too much.
The IRS never calls if you are in trouble. They send mail that must be signed for. The police are not going to do collections for the IRS. The authorities do not call before serving a warrant-and they do not call to confirm your address. A phone number that comes up as ‘unknown’ or your own or totally unknown to you-do not answer. Look it up before you call back and apologize if it is legitimate. If you get a call that claims to be your bank or credit card, you have the right to hang up and initiate the call. Look up the number you have and call back. For physical, there is also the “broken camera” scam. You are asked to take a picture and handed (an expensive looking) camera or phone. After you hand it back they claim it is broken and demand compensation...
Thank u fr uploading such an informative video...👍
Thank you for this video! 😊
"Avoid electronic theft...just use cash." Yes, so you could just get robbed the old fashioned way, right?
Yes that's probably true. May I just point out that the cash carrying people may lose less money if they're robbed than those using digital/electronic ways to pay for their purchases.
One of the scams I've heard of was the congratulations Amazon awards, and iPhone 10 awards. I got these before while browsing the web, and I ignore them, even if it shows people saying they actually got it.
Those scams are kinda annoying tbh, I’ve got them before.
Dude those are viruses 😂 clean your phone
I used to get the Amazon ones. Lately, I've seen a lot of Walgreens and CVS ones. I just delete them. Not worth the time or trouble.
I used to get those. Nothing's free! I even contacted a phone retailer through my employer's partnership program. They offered a free phone. The guy asked for my credit card #. I asked why he needed my credit card # to give me a free phone? He said, "I can't answer that."
I just delete, when I get them. They want u 2 answer a lot of questions, but u never win anything. Same goes 4 the Wal-Mart gift card 👎
Hello. Thanks for the tips. Pretty crazy dangerous world out there.
Very nice information and thank you bright side. 🙏
"Dropped Money" sounds like a modern version of the "dropped wallet" con from "The Flim-Flam Man" movie.
Hawaii's gambling laws forbid Lottery or "The Irish Sweepstakes" activity, period.
If I had a penny for everytime A scammer tried to bs me I would be a millionaire by now 🤔💰
The same goes for me if it was every time my brother and sister argue.
If i had a quarter for everytime i watch a video i'd be a billionaire by now✨💰💎
the same goes to me when i sweat
Thanks for the information ☺.
This video is helpful! Thanks bright side!
You’ve won! Weeeeeeee! Lol
That was funny..
Angelofmusic Wonder 🤣🤣
Whithdraw cash at a Bank where people work? WHAT? Do those really excist today? In Finland we used to have at least half a dozen Banks in every borough but today you must drive to another city if you live in small town.
There are no scams in Finland the most honest place on earth. People say never trust anyone but I will always trust a Finn.
Love you BRIGHT SIDE!😊❤️
It's useful information 👍 Thank you. 🔝
I feel bad for people who doesn't know this
It
I did not
i shared this so that they may know this
Don’t*
Oh
This one time It was early morning, and as I was gonna eat breakfast, I heard someone knocking on the door. I was immediately afraid because if the maintenance guy was supposed to come, our neighborhood would send out a letter saying when they will be coming...they never give us the notice this time. The person actually had a KEY that can open any house in the neighborhood. (He may have pickpocketed the key) he opened the door, but since we had the double lock, he couldn’t get inside and he just left afterwards
The Police Uniform Near Door One Is Amazing Never thought about it! That's Bright!
After the bit about the job scam an ad came on for a job website, no lie. O_o LOL
Well I wouldn't fall for the perfume samples. I'm allergic to perfume.
Well WHICH ONE! Maybe Roses Or Other Stuff Not Just Only Perfume A CERTAIN SCENT
@@catmeows2031plays mostly rose and plumeria. Also any scent that is worn too heavily makes it hard for me to breathe.
Tq for ur advices
Thanks for teaching scammers new tricks, Bright Side..
Someone: Hey wanna be friends? My name's (name). What's yours?
Me: I can't tell.
That's how you should do it
Never take your valuables into the wilderness.
But thanks bright side your are have very good information of everything thanks for sharing with us .😊😊
Thank you bright side
"New Tricks" Seriously!! Some of these have been around longer than you and me.
The one with the kid with found money was new to me; but, I never trust strangers. I would tell him just to keep it. Also, the 'you broke my phone camera,' was one I never heard of.
"Would you fall for the following scams"
* ad plays *
That dropped money tip was awesome. That’s a real smart one.
Many thanks
Using cash is best anyway. You're more cautious about not overspending
Exactly!
Is anyone else not surprised that most of these scams use technology
Nope
Boy: Ma'am, you dropped your money.
Me: You need it more than me, go away please.
Great education!
Bright side: don’t call numbers that start with 1-888
Me: 1-800-888-8888
Imagine criminals see this...
They're thinking about new ways to scam people. At all times. For every scam bypassed, two new ones appear.
Trust me.
they're thinking about new ways to scam people at all times, for every scam debunked three new ones appear
trust me on this one
Someone tells you that your car has an oil leakage from the rear wheel. U get down to check while he distracts you. And other person sneaks from other front door and steals your mobile or wallet or other valuables placed in front.
I love your videos guys. Full of knowledge and always teaching me something or the other. Pl keep releasing this videos and maybe one day even my kids can see it
.... All the best
If you see a Banana on your car, run away and call the police!
lol why?
If you see a poop on your car... check and see if it's from your girlfriend or wife. If so, find her and hug her hard enough to make her poop for you again! If not, then run away, yell for help, and call the police!
If you see a Banana between your legs, congratulations: you're a man!
Candy - or a woman on a horrible, horrible dry spell.
Lolz
WOW!.Scammers are working overtime.Everybody just be careful........
Nice topic 👌👍👍
Checking if you Money is actually gone gives pick pockets a presentation of where you keep your valuables 🤷♂️
.
Buy a POLICE UNIFORM and keep it near your front door ???
You ARE kidding..........RIGHT ???
.
ya lol. where do we buy those?
.
Uniforms-R-Us, of course......
.
I know right? Seriously?
How about... get one of those doorbell cameras, make sure you're recording and converse with them through a locked door. Tell them, "Smile you're on more than one camera. Leave a card and I might get back with you." Pro tip: robbers don't like to be filmed and security systems with cameras are very affordable now.
Or... if you're strapped for cash buy or make a little sign declaring "smile you're on camera no solicitors." Yell through the door, "No solicitors. Leave a card and leave or I will call the police. Oh and smile you're on camera btw." (Lie)
If anyone knocks on your door and claim it's an emergency and you must let them in tell them, "Oh okay I'll call the police hold tight right there." DON'T let them in. DON'T OPEN THE DOOR. If you feel threatened in your home in anyway by someone on your property or someone claims they need help DON'T be afraid to call 911. Better safe than sorry.
Also if you have a peephole you can use it to take a photo of the person with your phone. It's a little tricky but even a poor photo is better than nothing to hand over to the police. If they are blocking the peephole wearing a hat and trying to hide there face that should be a huge red flag they are not who they claim to be.
Everyone should just practice Ninjitsu
I like using cash whenever I can. My next choice would be a check, but when I want to buy something on the internet, which is becoming more and more popular, I have to use some type of card, and that's when I run into a lot of scams.
WOW THATS AMAZING!
By free apartment they mean a jail cell.
Yep
I'm from Nigeria or I'm from England =====> scam
RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN
In my area we are getting calls from what we think are kids saying they are in jail and needs bond money. Then a so call officer gets on the phone and asks for your credit card
Dropped Money: UGH. don't open your wallet to check if it's missing money. That may be what they want so that they can simply grab it or know where you keep your money so that they can pick pocket it later. Also beware that there might be someone trying to pickpocket you while you're distracted by the boy.
All of the dislikers are scammers lol 😂
Or people who followed what he said and got scammed anyways.
Hi.
One of the Tips was not really complete. Jeah, using Cash is very good but You also should make sure that wireless Payment is disabled for your Credit Card. Yes, this has to be said, some People dont get the Connection on their own.
And spraying perfume in someones eyes and grabbing their stuff isnt a scam. Andddd these things also arent new.
Stitches 22, yup
actually it’s people who don’t listen to these content farm
8/10 of your vids are titled “If you see this”

Awesome!
That's why never share personal info online for any purposes.expect for known ."BE SAFE"🤗.
Correct! Social Engineers are rampant nowadays!
Tricky Riddle for you :)
Helen was in her hotel room when suddenly there’s a knock on the door.
She opened the door to see a stranger. A stranger said, “I’m sorry, I have mistaken the floors, I thought this was my room.” He then went down the corridor.
The woman went back and phoned security. Why was Helen so suspicious?
Brainy Riddle the knock at the door if it was their room why would they knock
