  • When an online scammer sent me a bad check, I decided to give him a chance to turn his life around. I've started to document my interactions with him in case it helps someone else in a similar situation. This is the fifth episode in my interactions with "Emmanuel Lucas." Subscribe to see where this goes!
    Some people lose a lot of money falling for Nigerian scams. I figure the more of the scammer's time I can waste, the less time they'll have to rip other people off. Check out www.bydgraceofgod.com for more information.

    Tbh you sound like a scammer yourself. You paid him to pick up a package and take it down the street when you could have just shipped it to him. It does sound like a setup and I would t have went for it either .

      He was about to send him to prison. The uber would've had caught him red handed via GPS. Then it would've been uploaded to this channel where at least one cop is subscribed.

      Don't send real random scams. Go with "____ needs to ______ in Western Union for 1 quintillion dollars. Take your time but tomorrow is the last day." If someone believe in the quintillion scam, just say you don't want money.
