Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
firms show? You know. I'm so sick and tired of
people trying to take advantage of us by sending these
fake emails. But I just got one from American Express.
Congratulations you just got uh a certain amount of money
(00:26):
credited to your account. Click here to find out why.
Click there and they're like, oh, you need to use
your password to sign on. I'm like, no, I don't
sign onto anything unless I go directly to the source.
I gotta scam this week on eBay, which I love.
What did you get? I have something posted for sale
and I got an email from someone through the eBay
and said I will offer you this much money, which
(00:49):
was like thirty dollars lesson I was asking for, right,
So I said, feel free to bid because I said, well,
here's my PayPal you can just pay me. Send me
a PayPal request and I'll pay you for it. Uh,
I'll buy it. So I said, no, you go bid
properly because you can do a side deal on eBay,
and they don't do that. Don't do that because you
don't want to give the three percent. So I said,
just bid. They didn't bid, and then the next day,
(01:11):
I got an email from eBay. It said, our record
show you received an email from like Wakouzi seven or
whatever it was. Do not respond to them. Do not
reply to them. The account has been hacked and any
information you gave them their international crime syndicate. Whatever. You
know what I'm telling you as to the point now,
I don't believe anything. But if I if I get
(01:31):
anything from anyone, I pick up the phone. I pick
up the phone. I called actually talked to a human
being and say hey, I just received it, and nine
times out of ten it's not from them. Never click
the link in your email. If your bank wants you
to go to your account, go to the bank's website.
Don't click the link. Times I have gotten that life
alert from LifeLock, forget about it, saying that this crap
(01:54):
is going on. The other day I got one that
said your UM package has been canceled. Your order has
been canceled, And I'm like, what order? So I clicked
on it and it goes click here to make sure
that your ordered went through. And in my head I'm like, well,
I order a lot of crap, but this doesn't look legit.
And I did not click on it and it was
a fake one, just trying to get all my account information.
(02:15):
It was for Amazon. Well, the best way to do
it without clicking on links is if you click on
the email. Normally the email is it might say Amazon,
but if you click on Amazon in the email in
the subject, it will show you it's like four six
nine x y Z. But this is an Amazon at
a O L. Kind of makes you wonder. Well. No,
the other day, I once again I re shoot a
(02:36):
phone call and I never pick up the phone. Hello. Hello,
I'm here to tell you that your PC computer needs
to be replaced. I'm like, well that's great because I
use Mac. Get off my phone, you asshole. Stop calling me.
(02:56):
Just talking to me, Yes today and then we're a
robot call right, and they said please press one to
connect to representative. They weren't even speaking English. They would
like to talk to me about my car that's out
of warranty. It's not out of warrant, toy, you son
of a bit. My new one is I get calls
for solar panels, you know, to save energy on on
on my my place. So I tell the guy, I
(03:17):
was like, I would love for you to come over
go on top of my roof and then jump off,
and then he goes, what I go, go on my roof,
jump off and let me know how it goes. Let
me know. But the new clever one, though, is the
you pick up Hello, Hi. I can't hear you hello,
and you're like, yes, hello, Hello, and they're like these
phones anyway. The reason I'm calling you today is because
(03:39):
I'm like, it's a it's a freaking recording. But I
was duped into talking to them that I was selected
out of thousands to to receive a five night's stay
at any Hilton hotel in America. Yes, you should stay.
You get these I got. I think you guys will
laugh at this, because of course only I would get this.
I got an email saying that my my account was hacked,
(03:59):
and then it goes on to say you don't know
anything about me, and you're obviously interested, or you wouldn't
be reading. By the way, I know your porn history.
If you don't want me to release it to the world,
pay me one thousand dollars. I've used a key logger.
It gave me authority to access your display in webcam.
I see what you do. I'm like you haven't seen anything.
He got one of those was one of the first
people I knew who got one of those. He actually
called the FBI. He was scared. I just found out
(04:24):
I got hacked and it was a good thing. So
I got an email saying my Fortnight account had been
accessed and that they were trying to change things that
they couldn't change. So I logged in and it turns
out my now my name is now Usef, and all
of my stuff was in Arabic. So I'm like, oh,
this Usef son of a bit. Then I realized he
got me to level thirty seven and won me bonus
(04:45):
skins and all kinds. I'm like a minor champion in
this hood, in this gang. So you keep playing, man. Yeah,
So I got my name back, but I'm still at
level thirty seven. So I wonder if ever in the
history of the world. So when received an email saying, hey,
a prince, a royal prince is going to give you
(05:08):
the total sum of one hundred million dollars. If you
can just help them out by sending in a thousand dollars,
it will help us unlock the account and you can
have it. And it was legit what if it what
if it ever was legit, We'll never find out because
we're never ever gonna believe. You imagine the African kings
and Saudi Prince is like, why don't we send an
(05:29):
emails an idea. Let's get in touch with Elvis Durand
in New York City, ask for a thousand and then okay,
we'll give him a hundred million. That's it. Yeah, so
let's see if he's a good person, if he's trusting.
There's one prince out there that's actually trying to do it,
and it's all these other ones are ruining it for him.
Nobody believes me. But you know what, here's the thing
it gets me, and I know that Danielle have had
this discussion with each other. There are people out there
(05:51):
and this is their livelihood. They wake up in the morning,
they make a cup of coffee, and then they go
to their computer, and they spend the entire day and
night trying to rip people off and that, and they
live with themselves and have no problems. That's what I
don't get, Like when someone steals your identity, like Alex,
your fiance had his identity stolen, and it took so
much and he still probably still has problems. How can
(06:14):
you live with yourself knowing that you took somebody's social
security number and you're charging things and and you're leaving
this person to clean up the map. I'll tell you how.
Here's how they live with with each other. Read the
post on your social media and see how many assholes
are out there, or just read mind the meanest people,
(06:35):
the meanest people. I mean, I feel I read those
posts and I feel I actually feel good about myself
and I think I'm a decent human being compared to
those assholes. Definitely. So I actually got to talk to
some one of those people. So somebody calling ahead like
the assholes. Yes, so somebody called the house right and
uh I I they said, hello, you know this is
so and so whatever. So then I've got a chance
(06:56):
to like get through to them and for them to
level with me. So I said, I just I'm curious, like,
how do you sleep at night knowing that you're working
for a company that you're clearly running a scam on?
And you know what this person said. They had the
balls enough to say to me like a baby in
a cradle, like they were like she was like, like
I sleep just fine. And she was totally honest about it,
(07:21):
as if to say, like they have to be, doesn't
bother me with guilt. But that's what I'm so bizarre, right, Well,
it takes a special person to rip people off. You
have no guiltyhere. The beauty of being scum is you
don't realize your scum or you don't care that your scum.
Because I got tricked just a couple of months ago.
I was from the one that came into your office
and I was actually, I'm trying to hear your story.
(07:44):
What I remember I came into a couple of months
ago when I said, they have to call the FBI. Well,
this is what you were out of the room. But
God got the same one because they're looking at her,
watching her watch porn. That was the one. But but
the thing is they give you your password. They say
in the subject line, here is your password, and we
know it. So that got me to believing that everything
(08:05):
that I was doing on my camera in my living
room computer was on keeping a human being a stranger.
Human being will never figure out your password. A computer will.
So obviously the computer that figured out your password also
is getting in touch with people pretending to be a person.
I can help you out, Scary, I just need to
last four year social You remember Black Mirror, that episode
where the kid is right on the computer and and
(08:28):
it pops up that I know your history, I know
what you did. Blah blah blah. You need to do
this for me and deliver this envelope and go do this.
And they had to do it, and it turned out
like a porn and something that he was looking at
he shouldn't have been looking at. Okay, Scary called me
that night because he wanted advice, and so he and
I were on the phone analyzing, and I was just
asking him crazy questions like, well, have you ever had
(08:50):
sex in your living room and an angle with the
screen would have seen it? I don't know. I usually
just have sex in the bedroom. Now I gotta think
that I have sex in the living room. And what
kind of poorn are you watching? I don't watch one.
I don't think I did. I mean I might have
clicked on a link by accident. You don't click on
a link by accident. At the end of the day.
At the end of the day, these people got me
(09:10):
and they got me scared. But I told you never
ever signed on to doing Grandma dot com. Let no, no,
they're gonna catch a organ. What was your solution? What
they do? Well, the solution was elvis or Brody. Somebody said,
why don't you just take a little bit of the
script they sent you and put it in a Google
(09:30):
search and see what comes up. Sure enough, there thousands
of people got scammed with the same exact story. That
microphone needs to be reset about this one. Okay, I
get to send me five dollars to reset your I
get these emails that's say, hey, Greg just wanted to
follow up with you when we talked about this guest
on the show, and I go, okay, a, I don't
book guests be we never had an email like at all,
(09:52):
and you talked to you, so there is no follow up.
It's clearly a scam from the get go. Well, you
see that happens in in our office. Yeah, Brody pulls
that scam on me all the time. Rody will come
in and say, you remember yesterday you really loved my
idea about putting putting this topic on And I'm like, Brody,
you never asked me about that topic, and he tries
to trip me. You all know you are like an
(10:13):
internal scammer. This has a short term memory problem. He
doesn't remember this stuff. Well, I used to have him
signed stuff. Remember this is this is about people under
your own nose who scam. Can you guys take advantage
of my feeble mind all the time. You're not pointing
at you. You're shopping on Amazon, not even paying attention.
(10:36):
These two, the Brooklyn boys, scam me all the time.
It hasn't happened. Yes, it's they are assholes. I will
tell you that. I will tell you you liked it.
But what scary you'll do is he'll present stuff to
you as if it you've never seen it before, and
they go, no, no, you've never seen his brand new
and it's not new. You've played it before, you've heard
it before. And he'll go, Elvis, this is new you
should listen to. I think you'll like it. And you'll go, oh,
(10:58):
this is great. They'll go, he hated a three weeks,
this is awesome. I thought he was going after the
Good frid the Good Friday scam. That's what I thought.
Always say that, you know we get a day off.
You said you agreed to this a couple of months
Elvis I didn't, and he'll tell you. Yes, the last
seven years we've been off on Flag Day. No, we haven't.
And I know it's not you trying to scam me
(11:19):
to play one of your bad parodies because they're so bad,
they're shitty. Every time, I've won a lot of awards
and the audience knows my parodies are great, to play them.
That's that's what it is. Remember, I did get us
off one one Good Friday. That was that was that
(11:42):
was stupid because my husband was planning on proposing on
Good Friday and he had it all planned with Elvis,
and I insisted the show be off, and so they
had to rearrange the entire proposal. Because I insisted the show.
I learned about it. Since I'm the one of the
show who really I put I put religion this, I
hadn't understand that we need to come to work. So
(12:02):
this year we're working on Christmas, Easter, Sundmaster Sunday. We're
all coming in, we're all coming in. Anyway, when people
under your own nose are scamming you, I think that's sad.
But anyway, but we're living in a world full of
people who like Greg t says they can sleep like
a baby at night, and they can wake up and
scam all the people they want during the day, taking
(12:24):
savings away from people, their life savings, and they don't
lose an ounce of sleep. Those are the people I
feel we should we should fly to the moon, and
we just got to find them. Mostly the people who
scam like older single, sad people. That happens all the time.
Wait are you old single and sad? Well, they'll just
be like, I love you so much, I just need
(12:45):
a plane ticket to get from where I am to
where you are and then it, you know, drains these people. Hey,
what about the scam where someone will call a grandma
and say, hey, I just heard from your granddaughter. She's
stuck in Amsterdam and if you don't send us a
thousand dollars now, she she can't get home. They do that.
I mean, that happens all the time. We have we
have a mutual friend. It's up to you whether you
want to name him. Who got scammed by the I
just need fifty bucks to get back to Philadelphia. Who's
(13:08):
that with Stephen? Yeah? And he paid it? Yeah. Yeah.
The guy's like, I just need to get trained fair
or my cars out of gas. I just need gas.
Stephen gives money to He'll give money to a bird
that flies by. If you're a scammer. For a hundred bucks,
I'll give you his information. He'll give you. He'll give
you a thousand dollars just because you say I can't
get back to Philadelphia. Listen, my grandma used to give
(13:29):
the money to the people that will come to the
door for the religion. And she would just the religion,
you know, money for the religion. They wouldn't even have,
just to get them to go away, to go on
the wallet hand the money religion, you know. Okay, different
hip to the scammers. Just confirmed this is for the religions. Well,
I will tell you when I lived in San Antonio
(13:49):
years ago, i just got out of the shower and
I'm in my bathroom and there's a knock at the
apartment door. I opened the door and there's this really
good looking guy and he said, hey, you know, I'm
selling magazines for whatever. And I went, oh, come in.
I'm standing there, my hair is still wet, I'm in
a in a bathrobe. You know, this is like, this
is a porn in the making. So I'll invite Mr
(14:11):
hot in and he's from Houston. He came to San Antonio.
He selling magazines to raise money for who whatever, the religion,
And I said yeah, and so I gave him cash
right there for you know, two magazines, magazine subscriptions. Very
sweet guy, very very very very you know, attractive whatever.
So I'm like, hey, he said, I'll tell you what.
I'm gonna go out and sell somewe magazines, but later
(14:31):
on if you want to get together for a drink,
and I'm like absolutely. He left, never saw him again,
never received a magazine, So what's it worth it? Though
at the time, yeah, it really was. Did make you
feel pretty? You're upset about the guy in the magazine, Well, no,
I mean I took my curlers out of my hair anyway.
(14:52):

Brodie who are al right there in your own house.
