[00:03] believing someone who tells you they can make money, only to have them take a few bucks and disappear after you get promoted. can make money, only to have them take a few bucks and disappear after you get promoted. Today, I'm here to expose all the scams. I'll try to show you how scams are done,
[00:16] how con artists manage to scam you, so you can understand them instantly. You'll know how they work before you even get involved. As soon as they approach you and offer they work before you even get involved. As soon as they approach you and offer
[00:31] you something that's a scam, you'll be able to catch them easily. Let's start with the basics of how scams work: how they scam you. To scam you, they have to be greedy. If I can be greedy, I can scam you
[00:43] greedy. If I can be greedy, I can scam you easily because greed clouds the mind. For example, when you gamble and you're winning, you can't stop even when you're winning. Why? Because your greed mind is activated. Once your greed kicks in, you're already... I'm trying to manipulate you. Instead of
[01:00] having 5,000 pounds, I want 100,000. You keep playing and lose everything you've earned. The first thing a con artist does is cultivate a greedy mindset. He makes you feel like there's a
[01:16] huge chance you'll get an immeasurable amount of money from him. So he offers you a method or something that, if you do it, will bring you a huge sum of money. You believe him and run after him. For example, there's the investment packages. He tells you to pay 100 pounds and you'll get 1,000 pounds. You give
[01:33] him 100 pounds, he takes it, and says goodbye. He's not greedy, he's not after more than your 100 pounds. He'll take 100 pounds from others too. So, what about the 1,000 pounds you thought you'd get as soon as you gave him the 100 pounds? Notice that the
[01:48] investment packages are one of the simplest methods The scam relies on the idea of exploiting your greed. Let's look at things like airplane scripts and apple scripts, and all that nonsense. You'll find that it also depends on exploiting your greed. They'll approach you and say, "I can give
[02:03] you a script that predicts when a plane will explode, so you can make a fortune," or "I can tell you which apple is faulty," so you feel reassured and think, "Oh, there's a chance I can make a lot of money." So you fall for it, get greedy, and share
[02:19] the script, whether it's priced at 300, 3000, or even 9000 pounds. You expect to make a million or even 100,000 pounds from this script, so the money you pay is worthless compared to what you can make. It's the
[02:33] worthless compared to what you can make. It's the same principle: He's trying to greedily tell you there's something that, if you get it, you can make an immeasurable amount of money. The first principle to dismantle your greed is to ask yourself one question. This question will dismantle 90% or 95% of the
[02:52] scams you encounter daily: Why does n't he do it for himself if he's going to make me pay 3,000, 9,000, or even a million pounds? Why doesn't he do it for himself instead of taking 3,000
[03:06] or 9,000 pounds from me? Why doesn't he just do it himself and earn the 100,000, or a million, or whatever huge amount of money he'd make instead of wasting his time with me, trying to prove it to me, giving me evidence, and sending me screenshots? Why waste his time with me when he
[03:20] can make 100 or 200 times more? The money he'll take from me in much less time... Do people have the time to sit around trying to give you money? If you think about it that way, you'll find that investment packages, airplane scripts, apple scams, and all the
[03:37] money in exchange for getting much more. Why don't you do it for yourself? You, the person offering me money to get much more, why don't you do it for yourself? Do it for yourself and take that much more money for yourself. Do it for your family and relatives, man. At
[03:53] least your family will be rich and have money to solve all their problems instead of going around to some stranger you do n't know online, chasing after them to help them. Are you really that generous that you want to help strangers you don't know? Oh, my brother, you're so kind-hearted! There are also scams
[04:09] The second method relies on your greed, but at first, they give you small amounts. For example, they might tell you to watch an ad, and you'll get 50 Egyptian pounds for it. So you watch
[04:24] the ad, and they actually send you 50 pounds to your Vodafone Cash account. At that point, you get greedy and become convinced that just by watching one or two very simple ads, you can make 50 pounds. If I watch 100 ads a day, I'll make 23,000 pounds! How
[04:38] generous these people are! If that were the case, countries would employ all their young people in this field. So you ask them, "I want to continue with you." They tell you, "No problem, but you have to pay upfront to be able to
[04:52] buy an advertising package that will generate money." You ask, " How much does the advertising package cost?" Then they send you a system that tells you... The first advertising package costs 100 pounds and you get 200 pounds. Then the second advertising package costs 500 pounds and you get 1500 pounds. The
[05:07] third advertising package costs 10,000 pounds and you get 500,000 pounds. You can't believe it, so you think, "Well, since it might be a scam, I'll try the 100-pound package." So you try it, and it actually gives you the 200 pounds. Wow, this is
[05:21] real! Then you decide to gather all your money and buy a larger package for a decent amount. You go in and buy 15 or 200,000 pounds, and you find there's no money left! You realize you've been scammed. The point is, they make you seem
[05:38] legitimate with the small amounts, but as soon as you get a large amount, they say, " I'll miss you, my friend." Imagine that! Imagine if this thing were to work with 1000, 2000, or 5000 people—imagine how
[05:50] work with 1000, 2000, or 5000 people—imagine how much they'd make! This is another scam. You'll find that its much they'd make! This is another scam. You'll find that its foundation is reassurances that build credibility. When you see the idea of easy money, let's talk about something important: no
[06:03] one knows how to make easy money unless they were already a millionaire or someone who made money with great difficulty at first. Then, money became easier. For example, if I spent years on social media and learned how to make money from it, then the process of making money would become
[06:19] easier and easier over time. Eventually, I'd have millions, and millions would generate millions more. This is if I'm a hardworking and persistent person who spent years in a particular field. But the foundation is what comes first: I learned how to edit videos, I learned how to design, and I can create
[06:34] designs. I learned how to stand in front of a camera, I learned how to create suitable video titles, I learned how to enable monetization, and I learned how to comply with YouTube's terms and conditions. It was a very long story. If you're learning at the beginning so that you can eventually make money, it took me
[06:51] about five years without making money in order to start making money. At first, I didn't make much money, but then I started making a lot. The process works like this: to
[07:03] you have to work hard for years in a certain field, learn it very well, and gain a lot of experience. So, anyone who tells you that money is easy from the start and that you should pay to get more money is scamming you. You'll find that scams always work this way: pay to get more. Why don't you pay and get more?
[07:20] You'll also find another scam based on the idea that, for example, a watch sold in the market for Someone will tell you, " This watch costs 5000 pounds, but when you buy it, you'll become a member of our company." I'll ask, "What does that mean?" You'll say, "It
[07:38] others to buy this watch, just like you. We also sell products, like a t-shirt that costs 200 pounds on the market, but we sell it for 10000 pounds. You can market these products, and whoever buys them will get a 25% commission. So, if you sell just four, you'll
[07:53] make your 5000 pounds and get your watch. Plus, you can bring in your watch. Plus, you can bring in more customers and earn 25% on every sale. Imagine how much money you could make!" You'll think, "Wow, that sounds great!" But you've forgotten something
[08:08] very important: you're being scammed. The watch you bought for 100 pounds will be gone. For 5000 pounds, you're being scammed out of 4900 pounds. And for every person you bring in, you become the scammer. Then there's the person who scams people into buying a very symbolic item, only to have them
[08:23] pay a huge price for it, so they too can become scammers. And the pyramid keeps expanding, with people bringing in people, and people bringing in people, until finally, the last group—which could be a million people—are the ones who can't find anyone to market or sell
[08:40] watches, t-shirts, and other items whose value is far below their actual worth and quality. In the end, all these people can't find anyone, and we curse them, and the company shuts down. And who benefited the most from this? The first people to start
[08:56] this scheme were the big scammers who managed to build a huge team to managed to build a huge team to market products worth 100 pounds but sold for 5000 pounds. And these are the ones who... They took very high commissions and percentages from the
[09:11] many people who were scammed and bought a product whose price was much lower than its actual value. They spent a lot of money and were ultimately ripped off. You'll notice that this method is based primarily on greed. You're essentially buying something you might not even want. I might not want a watch, and
[09:27] want. I might want a much nicer watch that costs less than what I'm paying. But I saw an opportunity: when I sell it and become a good salesperson, I can
[09:39] recoup the cost of the watch I bought and even make money. So I start working and scamming my friends and acquaintances with products whose value is much lower than what I'm selling them for. People scam each other until, in the end, the company
[09:55] scam each other until, in the end, the company finds that it has covered the Egyptian market and reached most of the customers. Too many people, and that's it. There are no more people recruiting; everyone is already a member of the company. Then that company shuts down and starts again with a different name and title. The first company to
[10:09] start with this was QNET, and after that, many more companies emerged, QNET, and after that, many more companies emerged, all lasting a year or two before closing down, just like Alpha Clean Energy now. But Alpha Clean Energy is selling you hot air. They tell you
[10:24] to put in money and you'll get daily payouts—a bank-like system, and a bank-like system at that—which is illogical. A bank gives you bank-like system at that—which is illogical. A bank gives you monthly interest, and the annual interest rate doesn't exceed 67%. They monthly interest, and the annual interest rate doesn't exceed 67%. They give you 300%, 400%, and other ridiculous profit figures
[10:38] to make you believe them and put in your money, throwing in more and more until finally they tell you, "We'll miss you, my friend." The scam relies on greed, and when you find yourself becoming greedy, with relies on greed, and when you find yourself becoming greedy, with lots of money and a sense of credibility, become even more suspicious and fearful
[10:53] because the whole thing is more and more meticulously planned. The people who are playing you are people who know exactly what they're doing; they're not just ordinary con artists. They're seasoned scammers with the resources to scam you in a sophisticated way. That's all for now. I hope this video was helpful.
