WEBVTT - MINI: Sam Fischer lost $14k to a SCAMMER 💰

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:01.359

0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Or is we like to refer to you as

0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:04.240
<v Speaker 2>scam Fisher.

0:00:04.320 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Let's get sech I tag first.

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 2>Sam and I caught up yesterday, which we had really

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:12.399
<v Speaker 2>nice lunch, was beautiful, and Sam was telling me a

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 2>story about how sophisticated scams are these days.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:18.799
<v Speaker 1>Now I want to call bullshit.

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>This is not sophisticated.

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:21.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, but this was the.

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:22.919
<v Speaker 2>Dumbest thing on Sam's behalf.

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Dude.

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 2>Sam's going to tell his story, but this is what

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 2>good friends can do, right. Please, Once you hear it,

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 2>you'll see how unsophisticated this scam. Sam sell it to me,

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.479
<v Speaker 2>because I've almost been scammed myself several times, and those

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 2>text messages that come through at three am in the

0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 2>morning can be convincing.

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so this was like five pm in the afternoon, right,

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.200
<v Speaker 3>so like prime time I'm in the UK. I get

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 3>a text saying, hey, did you spend five hundred and

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 3>forty one dollars and whatever sense at this place in Austin, Texas,

0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, no, no, and it looks so legit,

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 3>and normally I'm on it. Normally I'm like googling the

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 3>anonymous phone number to see where it is. I just

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 3>didn't for some reason because I was in a I

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 3>was in a songwriting session, I was working. I was

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 3>like no, And then they sent another text that was

0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 3>did you did you spend one hundred and whatever dollars

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.760
<v Speaker 3>in this place in Texas escalating now Inexas, And it

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>was like and then it was like call this number

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>to whatever and it was like from my bank, and

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 3>it was like it was and it was it was

0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 3>literally from my bank. And I called and they had

0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.560
<v Speaker 3>the exact same automated voice and so then I was

0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:36.119
<v Speaker 3>literally on the phone for like hours and they were like, oh,

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 3>we know, we need to do security questions.

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>And so it was a real person or was a

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:39.839
<v Speaker 1>a I sam.

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 3>It was a real person, and it was like I

0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 3>spoke to them and they were like, what's your like

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 3>mother's maiden name, what's your what's your dogs name?

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>What's like? And you thought you were verifying answer, But

0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>here's where.

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 3>I should have stopped.

0:01:58.280 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>This was the giveaway.

0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 3>So I would give an answer and then I would

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:04.680
<v Speaker 3>get a security code and they'd be like can you

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>read me the car?

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And I was like yeah, of course, and let me

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>tell you.

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>It was like, oh, that didn't work, so let's try

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>it again, because obviously like the geo tagging or whatever

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 3>was like, oh, ping, this is not where Sam is.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.360
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, they were like, oh that one

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:25.160
<v Speaker 3>didn't work. What about this? And I was like, yeah,

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 3>here's another code. And so they got into my online

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.720
<v Speaker 3>banking and they stole fourteen thousand dollars.

0:02:29.880 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh got fourteen k My god, that hurts.

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 3>And at the time I was when I was discovering

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 3>all this, mind you, I was at like post work

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 3>drinks and I'm out having good time and I'm on

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:42.639
<v Speaker 3>my phone being like.

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.359
<v Speaker 1>Here's a code, babe and bank account.

0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 3>And then finally like it dawned me and I was

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 3>like what am I doing? And so I called the

0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 3>real bank, like called the number on the back of

0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>my card and they were like, oh no, you music

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, so now there is a process to get

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 3>it back, and like do.

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>They get it back for you? Are they able to?

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 3>Well, so you'd think, but because it went to a

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>Bank of America account. Bank of America is like They're like,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, you can't place any blame on us, Like

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 3>We're going to do what we can do. But we

0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.600
<v Speaker 3>can't promise anything and you have to sign this wave

0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 3>of form or whatever.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>And so I got an idea, hold on how much

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>do you make per stream of your songs?

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 3>Zero point zero zero zero three cents everyone in Australia

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:32.880
<v Speaker 3>listening to this, right.

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Parents, And then we can get the money back. Yeah,

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Just be aware of those scams.

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>Some are sophisticated, some like Sam's are not sophisticated, but

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>they can still pay. Now.

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 3>All my money is in cash bags I'll never have.

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>On an island. Listen Sam's performing. Where are you tomorrow night?

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:59.560

<v Speaker 3>Check if they are still tickets. I don't know if

<v Speaker 3>there are, probably not.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>And then he is a seller.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:06.559
<v Speaker 3>And then tomorrow period.
