You have to make a judgment. Who was gonna be

breakfast club bitch. Who's donkey of the day today? Wow
at Sharon donkey today For Thursday, February eleven goes to
two men in the great City of Houston. One's name
is Basil Amadie. The other's name is Uh. I have
no idea. This looks like the line that the doctor's
(00:21):
office play their names for me Basil a Mahdi and
Chin When boy, that's a hell of a name. Now okay,
they are clearly age towns finding scammers. Uh. There for
next game is strong with a capital S and K.
Sleut to everyone who listens to us, by the way
to beat in Houston. Slute to my niece Ashley on
Ashley was happening dropping a clue? BOMs for actually now
(00:41):
Chin Wind in Brazil are reinforcing all stereotypes of Nigerian's
being scammers. Uh, you know what they say, it's not
a stereotype if it's true. Also, between Austin Chains, the
guy that's running for governor of Michigan and wants to
cancel Black History MUF Between those two these three Nigerian's
are not having a great week of a Gianna is
gonna have to win the championship and win another MPP
(01:02):
to get you all back in good standing. Now we've
all gotten contacted out of the blue by Nigerian offering
to share a bunch of cash our payment on the
condition that you helped them transfer money out of their country.
Raise your hand if that's ever happened to you. Never
happened to Nick? Wow? Now, I thought this scam was
reserved for just email, but apparently it's also by letter,
(01:23):
text message and through social media. Okay, these Nigerian scampers
may ask for your bank account details to help them
transfer the money, and then they use this information to
later steal your funds, still rob your as blind. Okay,
I guess that Nigerian four one nine scam isn't working
like it used to. Okay, people used to be on
that four one nine heavy. By the way, it's called
the four one nine scam because the four one nine
(01:43):
is Nigeria's criminal code which outlaws the practice. Okay, they're
not doing the four one nine anymore. Nope, they have evolved. Okay,
they've evolved their hustle and now they are praying on
the weak among us. Who are the weak among us?
The weak among us are people who are still getting
cat fished in one. Yeah, absolutely no reader for someone
(02:04):
to be able to get cat fished in one, Uncle Solo,
what are you talking about? Nobody gets cat fished in one.
Nigerian don't even like catfish, they like stock fish. What
are you talking about, Uncle Salo, Well, let's go to
kPr C NBC two report police. A sixty five year
old North Texas woman is out one hundred thousand dollars
after she fell in love with someone who was pretending
(02:24):
to be Bruno Mars. Cyber crimes prosecutors say he befriended
her on Instagram, convinced her that he was the famous
entertainer and that he needed help with his touring expenses.
According to court papers, a man identifying himself as Bruno
Man promised he was quitting his current tour to be
with her. Authorities say they had help Basil Amadi and
(02:48):
Chin when do asuand Wu, two men in Houston who
opened up the two different bank accounts where she was
instructed to send the money to one check for ten grand,
followed by another for nine dollars. The two men could
face two to ten years behind bars are convicted on
those money laundering charges. Now, keep in mind the alleged
(03:09):
victim is sixty three. But even at sixty three, there
are too many video chat features available for you to
be getting cat fished. In two thousand one, if I
thought I was talking to Bruno Mars, the first thing
I would do is asked to see him. Matter of fact,
pro tip, if you are talking to someone online and
they don't want you to see them via video chat,
they aren't who they say they are. Now, Bruno Mars
(03:31):
has a net worth of a hundred and seventy five
million dollars. It's a lot of artists who over the
past year because of this pandemic, could use an extra
hundred thousand. What Bruno Mars is not wanted him not.
The last time I've been this disappointed in two Nigerian's
was when Juicy smooth A had his whole situation going on.
(03:51):
But this right here, this is just now right despicable. Yes,
I've just been on the microphone. I'm list tongue. This
is despicable. Okay. This sixty three year old woman started
an Instagram account looking for companionship. She told investigated that
Bruno reached out to her, and Bruno was interested in
pursuing a meaningful relationship, and she got got because these
(04:12):
guys were sending her pictures and uh texas of Bruno
allegedly on tour. Alright, this poor woman is so disconnected
from the world and she doesn't even realize they had
no artists on tour right now. And the reason she
even sent the money was because the Nigerian's posing as
Bruno told her they wanted to quit the tour to
be with her, So she fired off two checks, one
(04:32):
to ten k one. You know what, after reading this
story and and that that other Nigerian wanting to cancel
Black History, mof I'm starting to believe Juicy smooth Ya.
Whatever Juicy said those two Nigerians did, they did it.
This is disgusting how you take advantage of this older
woman like that. If they got away with this on
(04:52):
I g imagine what they're doing the older folks on
Facebook scheming, crafty, aggressive, malicious, Those four words can be
turned into an acronym. That acronym is scam. Some folks
say it's morally wrong to allow a sucker to keep
his money. I disagree. I think it's morally wrong and
you're a sucker if you take advantage of people who
(05:15):
don't know any better. Contrary to popular belief, money is
not the same whether you earn it or scam it,
because if you're scam it, then you should get what
comes with that scam, especially if you're scamming an older
person on social media who don't know no better. These
brothers need to go to jail. They need to be
denied jalla frice for a few years, because if we
(05:37):
don't get people like this off the screet, the next
grandma the scam might be yours. Please please give these
two brothers names I can't really pronounce. The sweet sounds
and the hamltones. You dogkey oh, the da yeah, dog
(06:00):
m oh the day. Play our names again, drummers, play
the name again, Basil, Amati and chin when do as
you want? Wi Nigerians, I need you all to do

dogy today is brought to you by the law office
