00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 4: from Eric Lesardo, Friend of the station, friend of all,

11
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: Eric Losarto.

12
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 5: He is an ingenious musician.

13
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: And he provided that drop or that bumper for our

14
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: Deeper Dives segment. It says Deeper Dives on Saturday, because

15
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 4: that's usually when we have it on my Saturday show

16
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 4: from five to seven pm Saturdays with Tiffany. But since

17
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 4: I'm here and we're doing Deeper Dives, I said, you

18
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: know what, let's give all of you who are listening

19
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 4: a sneak preview of what to expect on our Saturday show.

20
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 4: So huge shout out to Eric Lesardo and his masterful

21
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: mind of musicianship being able to put that together. Eric,

22
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 4: you're listening, Thank you so very much, and you'll hear

23
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 4: that on Saturdays, let's get in to our deeper dives segment.

24
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 5: An accidental text.

25
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: Many of us have received a text or sent a

26
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: text if you're that unluss that you didn't intend to

27
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 4: And in most cases it's it's again the word mundane.

28
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: It's normal, it's without any sort of consequence. But in

29
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 4: some cases it can lead to what becomes a real relationship.

30
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 4: That's uncommon. But in this case, it's exactly what happened.

31
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: This is a feel good story, if ever there were one,

32
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: and I think we need one.

33
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 5: I think we need one.

34
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 4: In twenty sixteen, a young man named Jamal Hinton got

35
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 4: a text from an unknown number.

36
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 5: Again not unusual, it happens.

37
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 4: The text read Thanksgiving Dinner is at my house on

38
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: November twenty fourth at three pm. But Jamal didn't know

39
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 4: who that number was assigned to, so he asked who

40
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: he was speaking to.

41
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 5: Who are you?

42
00:02:54,520 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: The mystery messenger replied, your grandma, basically and saying that

43
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 4: the mystery messenger thought that they were texting their grandchild. Now,

44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: Jamal was a teenager at the time, and as teenagers do,

45
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: he said.

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: Can you send a picture?

47
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: And in response he got a picture of someone who

48
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 4: was certainly not his grandmother. Let me paint the picture

49
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 4: for you. Jamal Hinton is young black male. The picture

50
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 4: he got was of a white woman. Now, he texted

51
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: a picture of a photo of himself back and said,

52
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: you're not my grandma, but can I still get a plate?

53
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 5: Though?

54
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 4: Now, this is where many people probably would not have responded.

55
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 4: You may have even gone so far as to block

56
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 4: the number. But this person did respond and it led

57
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: to one of the most wholesome viral moments in social

58
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: media history. The grandmother replied, of course you can. That's

59
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 4: what grandmas do. Feed everyone.

60
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 5: Now.

61
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 4: Jamal, seeing this text response, screenshot it the exchange, posted

62
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: it online and of course it went viral. He even

63
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: decided to take up this mystery grandmother on her offer,

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 4: and she sent her address. These are very trusting people,

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: and Jamal drove from Timpi, Arizona to Mesa, Arizona to

66
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 4: celebrate with the mystery grandma and her family. I guess

67
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 4: she figured she had backups and Jamal was going down

68
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: there as a teenager, and all of this is very atypical,

69
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: but it did in fact happen, and after he celebrated

70
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 4: with her, family, a tradition was born and these two

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 4: have been celebrating ever since. The grandma's name is Wanda Dinch,

72
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 4: and that accidental invitation to Thanksgiving dinner in twenty sixteen

73
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: has been carried out and maintained every year since with Jamal,

74
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: and they post a picture online to chronicle their story.

75
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: Now Jamal has taken these pictures and he posts them online.

76
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: Wanda's not that internet savvy, Jamal's handling all the social media.

77
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 4: Jamal posts and everything goes viral and they share updates

78
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 4: about their relationship and what each other has gone through

79
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: in their lives. Some updates are happy with Jamal. He

80
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 4: started dating a woman named Mikayla, who Wanda said he

81
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 4: could bring to Thanksgiving dinner. So Jamal turned into a

82
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 4: couple and brought his new girlfriend. Some of the updates

83
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: are downright sad. Wanda's husband, Lonnie, who was a part

84
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 4: of the initial invitation and dinner, unfortunately died from COVID

85
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: nineteen and twenty twenty. Still, that same year, they got

86
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: together in a smaller gathering to honor Lonnie's memory. In

87
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three, Jamal announced on Thanksgiving that he and

88
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: Wanda had gone from family to business partners. They launched

89
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 4: a water company, and beyond just Thanksgiving, they started hanging out.

90
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 4: They posted pictures of them enjoying each other's company over

91
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 4: other holidays. So this transition from just Thanksgiving to a

92
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 4: full on friendship, a relationship, a grandmother slash grandson sort

93
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 4: of relationship. They even went on to partner with Airbnb,

94
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 4: the home sharing app, in which they were able to

95
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 4: host a dinner sponsored by Airbnb, where people could pay

96
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: and come and have Thanksgiving dinner with Jamal and Wanda. Now,

97
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: this text sent in twenty sixteen has spawned so much

98
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: for both of them, and it doesn't end there. They're

99
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 4: expecting to have Thanksgiving dinner in a few weeks. But

100
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 4: before they do, there's another development. And I'll share with

101
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 4: you on the other side of the break what Wanda

102
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 4: and Jamal are doing that you can partake in as

103
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 4: well to support this very unlikely relationship born from an

104
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 4: accidental text in twenty sixteen. More of our deeper Dive

115
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 4: adapted for Saturday. But just know that you know it's

116
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 4: it's Deeper Dives. His stuff is great, This stuff is amazing,

117
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 4: and he's great, ready, Mario, Eric Lisardo. Here we go

118
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 4: Deeper Dive segment. Mark's popping along.

119
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 6: As a white person.

120
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: She goes in somethings.

121
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 6: Is that based on any existing song?

122
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 5: Janet Jackson? Okay, something some Chifney's deeper?

123
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 7: So good.

124
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: Eric realized that I am a huge Janet Jackson fan.

125
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: And there's a song by Janet called Go Deep, and

126
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: he modified it to reflect Deeper Dives. Because that's the genius.

127
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,479
Speaker 4: He is brilliant, brilliant.

128
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 6: Janet's better than Michael as well.

129
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: I'm just agreeing with you on that one. Yeah, it's

130
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 5: a toss up for me. It's a toss up for me.

131
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 5: Janet far superior to Michael.

132
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I won't argue that because I love her. She's

133
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 4: my epitome love Janet Jackson, love Eric Lisardo.

134
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 5: So thank you for that, Eric.

135
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: And like I said, we are in our like Eric said,

136
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 4: we are in our Deeper Dives segment. We're concluding it

137
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 4: and we're talking about this accidental text that was sent

138
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 4: about ten years ago now by a grandma who sent

139
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 4: out a text to someone she thought was her grandson

140
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: inviting him to Thanksgiving dinner with specifics time, date, and

141
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 4: the uh. The grandson, who wasn't her grandson, replied and

142
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: basically said, you know, I'm not your grandson, but I'd

143
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 4: still like to come. And Grandma said, you know, we

144
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: everyone around here, that's what grandma's do. And that turned

145
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 4: into a tradition in which each year subsequently these two

146
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: met up with family members and friends. And unfortunately Wanda's husband,

147
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 4: who was a part of this, passed away during this

148
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 4: relationship as well. But it's been a tradition that they've

149
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 4: carried on and it has transitioned from dinner to social

150
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: media phenomenon to Airbnb experience. They partnered with air and

151
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 4: B Jamal and Wanda to offer their own experience of

152
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving dinner to a few people who would purchase that

153
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 4: Netflix was considering making a movie about their text and

154
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: following their relationship. And now they have even partnered this

155
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: year this year with Green Giant canned vegetables. We all

156
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 4: know Green Giant, Green Giant. They Mark feel like there's

157
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 4: judgment coming from the other side of the screen.

158
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 5: I'm not doing that when I do, though, Come on, Green.

159
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 6: Giant, You're not getting me to say.

160
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 4: Ho, Green Giant, Come on, Mark, can't do it one time?

161
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: See me one hole. Okay, here we go. So they're

162
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 4: partnering with Green Giant, and Green Giant is going to

163
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 4: sponsor this year's Thanksgiving dinner for Jamal Hinton and Wanda Dinch,

164
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: And of course that sponsor sponsorship is an invitation for

165
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: all of us to also purchase Green Giant vegetables because

166
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: of the feel good nature of this story. But it

167
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 4: just shows that an accidental text can can can turn

168
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 4: into something great. None of my accidental texts ever do that.

169
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 4: They've not produced this sort of thing, but in this

170
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 4: case for Wanda and Jamal, they did.

171
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 6: They have that rare happy ending for a bad.

172
00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: Text, very rare happy.

173
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: I'm like, you usually see something like this on dateline

174
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 4: or oops, that was.

175
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 6: Meant for someone else.

176
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 5: Yes, please are please, please please please.

177
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 6: Don't look at it, don't delete the photo.

178
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 4: In this case, again it is a very happy ending.

179
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: But there are other accidental texts that have gone viral.

180
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 4: There's one that happened in twenty fourteen. It's called the

181
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 4: We Still Coming Wedding Crashers, and what happened was a

182
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 4: bride mistakingly sent a wedding invitation to a stranger and

183
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 4: at that wedding they were having a barbecue and the

184
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: recipient replied, you have the wrong number, but me and

185
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 4: my boys will be there, and true to their word,

186
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 4: they showed up because the address was included in the text.

187
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 4: This is the cautionary tale. Don't put an address in

188
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 4: a text unless you are certain who you are texting,

189
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 4: because you might be inviting strangers into your space and

190
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't always end nicely. But in this case, they

191
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: showed up to the wedding, they took picture with the

192
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: wedding party, including the bride and groom, and of course

193
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 4: posted the pictures online and they went viral. There was

194
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 4: another example just last year where a person accidentally text

195
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: a police officer asking to smoke now. The officer's reply

196
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: went viral, showcasing the lighthearted reaction between law enforcement and

197
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 4: the public. There was a woman who texts the wrong

198
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 4: number seeking advice on address. The recipient of the text,

199
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 4: who was a father of six, responded with humor, but

200
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 4: it was later revealed that their child, one of the children,

201
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: was in the hospital fighting leukemia. The tweet went viral

202
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 4: and raised awareness and funds for the famili's GoFundMe campaigns.

203
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 4: So accidental texts turned into a go Fundme surge and

204
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 4: allowed for the family involved in the accidental text to

205
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: raise increase funding for their sick child. And then in

206
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, there was a man named Roger Hawkins who

207
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 4: sent motivational messages and a selfie don't do that to

208
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 4: another person named Justin Campbell, who he did not know,

209
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: and the interaction sparked a viral moment and led to

210
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: a lasting friendship between the two men. So, yes, there

211
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 4: are occasions when these things go well, but in most

212
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 4: cases it won't go well for you, don't I know?

213
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 6: You could make friends for life and have selfies, or

214
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 6: you could wind up zip tide on your own living

215
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 6: room floor.

216
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 4: You can be a part of the Monsters series, of

217
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 4: which you do not want to feature in as a victim.

218
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: Be careful with what you send right Mark.

219
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 6: You never know when you're gonna randomly meet an ed geen.

220
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: I feel like there are a lot more ed geans

221
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: walking around than I'm comfortable with.

222
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 6: You never know. He presented as well. I'm not going

223
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 6: to say normal, but not somebody who would wear your

224
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 6: skin for a vest.

225
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 4: But that leads me to believe that there are others

226
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 4: out there amongst us who, if they receive an accidental text,

227
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,520

Speaker 4: sure that you can keep your hard earnings to yourself,

249
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 4: because scammers want your money and they are devising new

250
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 4: ways to try and get your money every day, or

251
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: so it seems.

252
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 5: In this case, these scams hit close to home.

253
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 4: One in fact, is so close to home that there

254
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 4: are five or four cities in which these scammers originated from.

255
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 4: But they found themselves in Germany actually committing these acts

256
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 4: of fraud. So here's what happened. Their five California residents,

257
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: and they were arrested at the request of the Federal

258
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 4: Republic of Germany for an alleged fraud scheme involving fake

259
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: recurring card charges from phony merchants. This, according to US officials.

260
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,360
Speaker 4: Now the suspects this is what they did, allegedly organized

261
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 4: a scheme where they deliberately kept monthly charges below fifty euros,

262
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 4: which is about fifty seven US dollars, and this is

263
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 4: according to German authorities. So they would more or less

264
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: tap into cards digital cards and try and make these purchases.

265
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: The purchases would be small in quantity, about fifty euros

266
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 4: fifty seven US and they would bank on the fact

267
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 4: that people would not notice these charges. Obviously, many people

268
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: in Germany, in the US, all around the world have

269
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 4: subscription services buy things online and there might be charges

270
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 4: that get passed to you. In fact, there are apps

271
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: dedicated to monitoring reoccurring charges so that you don't just

272
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: have your money deducted without without your knowledge or because

273
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: you forgot. But in this case, these scammers were able

274
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: to do this successfully. They would skim off about fifty

275
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 4: seven dollars and the unsuspecting victim would not know. But

276
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 4: the five men, four of them US citizens, were in

277
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:32,879
Speaker 4: fact identified by authorities because their scheme turned into three

278
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: hundred million euros worth of damage, which is about three

279
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty million US dollars.

280
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 5: Because they scammed.

281
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 4: Not two, not twenty, not two thousand people, but multiple

282
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,160
Speaker 4: thousands of victims.

283
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 5: The four men in Germany, but are from.

284
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 4: Woodland Hills, La Agora Hills, and two are from Irvine.

285
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: So these are local boys who went over to Germany

286
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 4: and figured they'd be able to pull the wool over

287
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: the eyes of the German people. But the authorities there

288
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,399
Speaker 4: caught it and fortunately were able to stop it. And

289
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: they are former employees and executives of German payment processors.

290
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 4: Those are some of the people who were arrested. Now

291
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 4: the US Marshall Services arrested these five and will be

292
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 4: extraditing the men to Germany at the request of the country.

293
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 4: So that's one scam that happened in Germany, can happen here,

294
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 4: does happen here? Monitor your digital cards, of course, your accounts. Well,

295
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 4: let's say you're trying to do something the old fashioned way.

296
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 4: You're not even necessarily interested in the digital part of it.

297
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 4: You just want to sell a car. You have a car,

298
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: you want to sell a car. You want to buy

299
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 4: a car, and you want to sell this car online.

300
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 4: Someone told you, hey, it's a quick way. Put it online.

301
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 4: You'll get more interested buyers. And maybe parking it on

302
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 4: the street, maybe more viable buyers, and you decide you're

303
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 4: going to put your car online. It's kind of a

304
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 4: trust fall. You don't know what to expect. You hope

305
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: for the best. But in one situation in plac Air County, California,

306
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 4: just up north, two Fremont men were arrested after pulling

307
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: off an engine oil scheme.

308
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: Which targets private sellers.

309
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 4: What the heck is an engine oil scheme or scam? Well,

310
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 4: in this case, the two suspects, both related, nineteen years

311
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 4: old and thirty six year old, reportedly posed as interested

312
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: buyers for a car. Then when they were looking at

313
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 4: the car away from the seller, you know, you check

314
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 4: the car out and you tell the seller give me

315
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: a minute. I want to check under the hood, I

316
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 4: want to check all around. You do your due diligence. Well,

317
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 4: when they did that, and they had the trust of

318
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 4: the seller enough so that the seller wasn't looking, these

319
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 4: two poured oil into the seller's engine and then told

320
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 4: the seller that, hey, your car has some serious mechanical issues.

321
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: We're test driving it and it's acting up. It's not working.

322
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: And once the car started smoking or making funny noises.

323
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 4: Of course they'd acted out, they'd act concerned, and they'd

324
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 4: offer to take this broken down car, which the seller

325
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: is now surprised they have, and they say, you know what,

326
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 4: we'll take this broken down car off your hands. It's

327
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 4: a piece of junkets, it's not working. You're not gonna

328
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 4: get anything for it anyway. In fact, you know, we'll

329
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 4: just give you a few bucks for it and take

330
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 4: it off your hands. And the seller obliges because to them,

331
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 4: for all intents and purposes, they have a car that

332
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 4: is not working. It's inoperable, but in fact the car

333
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 4: can be fixed. And the these interested buyers have pulled

334
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: off this new scam called an engine oil scam. For

335
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 4: people looking to buy a car for their teenagers, or

336
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 4: for young adults, young people getting into the workforce, or

337
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 4: people commuting to and from work and you're looking for

338
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,640
Speaker 4: a car, these are things you need to be wary

339
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 4: of or selling a car. This is what you need

340
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 4: to be careful about.

341
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: Now.

342
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 4: The engine in the oil trick isn't the only scam

343
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: that's revving up around Southern California, around California or the

344
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 4: United States. In fact, people are now duping others by

345
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 4: posting basically fake ads for cars, cars that look essentially

346
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 4: too good to be true, but interested buyers are falling

347
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 4: for it and sending money via wire and not receiving

348
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 4: the car. So of course experts are saying, do not

349
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,679
Speaker 4: purchase cars that way. Make sure that you do not

350
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 4: purchase cars or anything site unseen.

351
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 5: You want to be able to see it.

352
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: And now you have to be careful that people aren't

353
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 4: putting oil into your vehicle. If you're in Singapore and

354
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 4: you're a scammer, just know that they will now punish

355
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 4: you with six to twenty four strokes of the cane.

356
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 4: And that is not a metaphor, that is a literal thing.

357
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 4: They will hit you with the cane because they say

358
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 4: that sixty percent of all criminal activity is due to

359
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 4: scams and they are trying to cut down. Perhaps that's

360
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: something that we should bring to the United States. Bring

361
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 4: back canings.

362
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 6: Using caine as a verb again.

363
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 4: Cane the people for anything. I think that would help.

364
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 4: When we come back, we are going to get into

365
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: the viral load and we're going to talk about what

366
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 4: Starbucks is doing that's causing absolute mayhem, mayhem mayhem in

367
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: debauchery and violence, Starbucks is at the helm of this.

368
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what it is on the other side

Speaker 4: at Starbucks. And the reason that you may be in

392
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:29,439

Speaker 8: of their holiday line just hours before it was set

Speaker 6: Hands on me.

406
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 8: I have no chats, including this TikTok user who said

407
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 8: several people were already online at nine pm the night before.

408
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 5: Don't I'm so happy that I'm not the only looney tune.

409
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 8: Your VIEI based content creator Rob Peppasino was up at

410
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 8: three point thirty am to get to his local Starbucks

411
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 8: on Staten Island.

412
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 5: Starbucks didn't open until five o'clock.

413
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 9: I waited from four oh eight until five oh one

414
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,120
Speaker 9: when the lady came to the door.

415
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 8: But despite being another line, you have one no luck

416
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 8: behind me.

417
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 9: There was like twenty more people that everyone thought it

418
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 9: like freaking out and nothing comes between me and my fleet.

419
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 9: So for meet I got up at three thirty this morning.

420
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 9: I thought that, you know, if I was the first

421
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 9: five people online, I would have got one.

422
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 8: The cup was sold by Starbucks for twenty nine to

423
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 8: ninety five, but they are now popping up on resale

424
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 8: sites for hundreds of dollars. Guys did just the latest

425
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 8: cup to cause people to flip their lid. Last year,

426
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 8: we saw shoppers storming targets just to get their hands

427
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 8: on Stanley tumblers.

428
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 7: Do you want to establish that this is something that

429
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 7: is rare, exclusive and if somebody gets it there special.

430
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 7: That is kind of how this works and that really

431
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 7: plays well on social media.

432
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 8: From Stanley to Barista, it seems every holiday season comes

433
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 8: with a thirst for a new viral product.

434
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,919
Speaker 7: You can't do a promotion in twenty twenty five without

435
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 7: thinking about how it's going to play on social media.

436
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: All right, okay, okay, look here, don't be like those people.

437
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 4: Do not deduct from your precious sleep to stand in

438
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 4: line to buy a twenty nine dollars and ninety five

439
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 4: cent plastic bear shaped beanie wearing cup because it is

440
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 4: popular and you want to fit in with the Starbucks

441
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:01,120
Speaker 4: in crowd.

442
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 5: Do not do that.

443
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 4: I thought we learned from the tumbler, or from the

444
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 4: Stanley situation, from.

445
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,640
Speaker 5: All of these the lo booboo craze.

446
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 4: All of these things die down and instead of putting

447
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 4: yourself in a situation where you may very well get

448
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 4: into a fight because people are fighting over these things,

449
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 4: Mark Ronnert, like.

450
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 6: Please tell me there's footage of people throwing down over these.

451
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 4: There's so much viral footage of people fighting literally fists

452
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 4: to face because they have limited supplies. And so people

453
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: who are waiting in line at three am or whatever

454
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 4: time they get there and they don't have it, they're

455
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 4: charging at the baristas.

456
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 5: They're fighting each other.

457
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the Tickle Me Elmo of the

458
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: nineties at kmart, when people would trample each other to

459
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 4: get to this stupid singing red stuffed animal now it's

460
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 4: this stupid plastic bear, of.

461
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 5: Which you know you can buy this same thing.

462
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: It may not have the Starbucks insignia, but just you

463
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 4: know those the bear honey. You go to the store

464
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: on the top shelf of any area or any aisle

465
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: where there's honey.

466
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 6: That's the same, that's not the same, especes. They wear

467
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 6: lee jeans too, what do you see? It's easy for

468
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 6: you to mock, but these are people with full and

469
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 6: meaningful lives and iron clad priorities.

470
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:24,880
