    It amazes me that by using a name like Richard Anderson and an accent like that, people actually fall for it.

    Omg l almost got scammed on marketplace today. I found a car that was just perfect. Was in terrible accident last year, have been taking busses to doctors even to surgery. I have autistic son who also has alot of appointments. I thought this person was a guardian angel, I was crying happy tears for 2 days. They just wanted a deposit n was gonna let me make few payments. I said great send me your address I'll bring you the deposit and we can sign some paperwork. That's when things got weird. Now I couldn't even come look at the car until they received deposit on cashapp. Hmm who buys a car from a complete stranger and your not even allowed to come see it. I immediately told them I wasn't the one they were gonna scam today. I said you made me think you were my miracle person, my heart was crushed. How do these people look at themselves or their children knowing they are ruining people's hopes n sometimes their lives! Thanks for your videos, feel free to share my story if it could help anyone else!

    Anybody with an Indian accent on the phone should raise red flags. It seems it would be impossible to shut down these call centers, especially when the police are in on the scams. To me, a better way would be to educate people in western countries so that don't fall for it in the first place.

    I block them.

    I have over 100 phone numbers that belong to scammers on my phone. I never delete them so they can never call me ever again.

    I have been blocking them for over 4 years now.
