I'm selling the Xbox on Craigslist and somebody's like, "cool sounds good, can I get it from you?" I'm like "sure"
"Well I will offer you $380 and I'll PayPal you to ship it to me" and I'm like wait,
"Why are you paying me a hundred more dollars than you can do to buy it brand-new on Amazon?"
"Well, actually I'm uh... I'm
currently in Brooklyn purchasing for a colleague outside the state, uh..
I'll provide you the shipping address and transfer the money as soon as I get the request"
"But... you could buy the exact same thing on Amazon for $100 less," it's like well,
"But yours is new and I prefer to buy it from you because, they will charge me more for the shipping and necessary tax."
*Stifled Laugh*
Amazon was like, "$308 with shipping and tax that's still... still $70 less." Why would you...
I'm just constantly asking like, innocent questions about this whole thing.
I'm just really curious about how I can get himself out this whole, "offer me way too much money."
Because he's just going to, the moment I ship it
he's just gonna charge back the PayPal.
Find out whether or not I get scammed, subscribe to *laughs* the sam and niko channel, uh spoiler alert
I won't be. But, other spoiler alert, fun things can still happen because... talking to scammers, is fun!
Yo
I gotta take this. "Hello? okay cool"
Yeah, you know what makes me feel good? you know what makes me feel good?
Dude, check out all that you see, all these URLs right here
You see all those? You know what those are? Facebook. copyright notices.
<*Laughing*>
Yeah, PUGB video came out and,
Over 27 Facebook pages promptly re-uploaded it
I'm just gonna walk you through the argument. Right now, 'cause, the people that are *SUBSCRIBE* at me for doing this, here,
Here's what you're thinkin'. "I gave you guys credit."
"I put Corridor in the link."
"Yeah, and you still ripped our video from YouTube, and re-uploaded it onto your own channel, onto Facebook,"
"Which is probably *SUBSCRIBE*-ing monetized 'cause half Facebook pages are nowadays."
Don't expect me not to get *SUBSCRIBE*-ed about that. We put a lot of work into that video.
And we have a Facebook page. (Yeah)
And we, and I just uploaded it to Facebook or actually, okay. It's don- wait here- hold on holdonholdon
And I just published it to Facebook.
It's just you know it-it-it
started it here, in the States, last year and,
Everybody *SUBSCRIBE*-ing re uploading stuff from YouTube onto Facebook and,
all the YouTube creators were like, "take-down take-down take-down"
And they started yelling at Facebook and Facebook was like, "oh well, uh," [and] Facebook implemented a policy where anytime you get a copyright notice
of takedown on your Facebook page, you can't upload a video for three days. And a lot of these channels upload
10-15 videos a day- that's all they do- they just scan the internet, they steal, re-upload
And they scan the internet, they steal and re-upload. No. Not okay. Guys, I'm not gonna swear
'cause, you know what? You're not even worth a swear out of me. the point is
Who couldn't post for three days anymore?
Now- and no- and now they can't post for three days, and now I see it spreading into other parts of the world.
It's dissipated here, you don't see it as much here.
And now, oh, guess what? People email us and very kindly ask us if they can re-upload our Facebook videos now,
Then we kindly say "no."
For the record, if you'd like to- you know what before we even go down this road
I'm going to show you the epitome of why this fires me up.
My biscuits are getting *SUBSCRIBE*-ing TOASTED, dude.
Okay, Okay. Are you checking? And this is what it is. Actually,
I haven't taken the time to take this down yet, okay? this- this- video
*moment of realization summarized in an amazing sucking of air*
This *censor*-ing guy,
Richard Ford, if you're watching-
Oh, he did, *SUBSCRIBE*. He *SUBSCRIBE*-ing did.
*DAB*
THIS guy,
This guy's a real gem. He's a real gem, because, this is exactly what happens, okay, yeah
Richard Ford over here with his 221 subscribers, and he's just got a YouTube account, he's not bothering anybody
He's just a freaking guy probably a nice guy. If I met him I'd probably have a beer with him
Who knows? Maybe he's a dick. Just like everyone else, he saw, Bohemian Rhapsody, either on our
Facebook where we uploaded it. Or on our YouTube page where
WE uploaded it. And then, just like a bunch of other people, ripped it from YouTube
And they re-uploaded it to Facebook. They were so rampant,
It BECAME so rampant that not everyone knew where the original source of the content was.
THAT is the inherent problem; Is that IF
people take our videos off of YouTube,
And they re-upload them to Facebook, then,
more and more people do that. And then at a certain point no one knows who the original poster was.
That's the point, and then you end up with a situation like, /this/
*Giggle*
I see this on Casey Niestat's comment section a lot.
But apparently, someone took our name, and our avatar, and is commenting as us,
In bold as spam
And they're linking to a Playstation 4 giveaway. Underscore.
Hey, Christian, are we able to delete their channel?
I mean they're commenting on everyone's stuff
I have seen this before.
It's very difficult because you can start hiding, or marking it as spam, blah-blah-blah
So easy for them to make another display name, another YouTube name if they really want to keep it going.
They more they steal our channel art the easy it is for the takedown
but it's just so easy to just take a display name and
vary it a little bit. This comes with the more and more popularity you get on a channel.
A little bit, for sure.
'Cause, yeah I've dealt with tons of spam accounts going on,
making it look exactly like the poster being like, "click here for an iPhone giveaway" it makes everybody go to this... spam site.
I've sat there for hours before literally clicking hide for- hide for comment stream.
So, I'm gonna hide comments and report spam.
Hide this user
So you can keep doing that and (and then) and that will, that will trigger (Report spam) and that will trigger the algorithm somewhere
Trigger somebody that like "somethings going on" but like
The more you do it and the more people see it also sometimes the more fired up they get and they do it more
Yep
Richard Ford *clears throat* I keep getting odd comments and people deleting them
So let me make this clear corridor shared this along with
CollegeHumor 9gag and pretty much anyone else who thought it would go viral and promote their page so Corridor's
just like everybody else just reposts in somebody else's cool video and
And if there was any copyright infringement
Which there isn't. That's just that's just a flat-out lie. This would monetize directly to the person claiming rights in which it would be
Divided by around 40 people because that's how many people re uploaded it
Duh it gets better
So please keep your shitty comments off of here
Corridor is well aware of my posting and I of them posting it along with the thousands of others who have ripped it and shared
It on Facebook instead of getting credit to everyone in it, and the ones who made it
Wait who made the video hello actually clearly
Clearly it wasn't corridor CollegeHumor 9gag or the thousands of other people who ripped it, and we uploaded it
Given to us by the internet gods
It was like it was like there's like a viral fruit tree Johnny Boz made that video so that that is the that is the?
Epitome of what I'm trying to avoid here, it's one thing to upload it and give us credit, but now that Facebook's monetize
That's not really a thing either. We upload our videos natively to Facebook. Just freak and share the video from the corridor digital page or
I'm gonna send you a copyright notice and you're not gonna be able to upload videos for three days
So that's my remedy if you want to be a dick beyond that like go ahead
We're trying to make a living doing this and it's really frustrating when people like just straight up
Just straight up take your video and reupload it
like you're
Honestly cut out your income and cut your title card so that it doesn't say court or digitally yeah the beginning of the
Court reads it every video at the beginning to say corridor
Yeah You know what we should do it was about to do it before you walked over here with that camera scribe you on camera fine
YouTube copyright reform
Inappropriate content trademark infringement copyright infringement who's affected I am exclamation my company is more accurate

Litoral Litoral Litoral both
In Episode II where does this continent pier entire video dude? I got kids man
You know and Sam's gonna be Sam's gonna say. He's got kids too soon
You know what the funny thing is that when we started making YouTube videos that were based on
Mario and Master Chief and things like that. I have a funny feeling that the major
Movie studios in town who helped popularize some of those characters and now own them probably felt the same way
But this is this is another level. This is just just straight-up. Just taking something and taking Joss
am saying
And being like you know what everyone should shut describe about Stephen steel
we're trying to take this video down because like he just like any everybody else and
Yes, yeah
Has seen it and then put it in a bunch of theaters and like you know
Keeping a bunch of money out of it
we should just guys we should all really just be thankful for the
Classic blockbuster gods for having delivered that to us one day. I don't know why everyone is such a dick about it
Yeah in slow motion they just bounce down a golden stairway from movie heaven I got to come into Facebook though
They're there copyright takedown
It is
Really efficient Robert Ford

So I've been texting back and forth with a scammer trying to get him to
justify why he was going to pay me three hundred eighty dollars for a brand new Xbox that cost two hundred eighty dollars because he
Like you know they try to get you with your greed. You know they like three hundred eighty dollars
I'm gonna be rich shove off your xbox of Nigeria
You know get paid, but it was way too obvious they blew it there should have offered me like three hundred dollars
And then I would be like okay. Well I still win the soul send it because you know we're I'm chip stuff on Craigslist
I'm a PC gamer, bro. I mean why not give it away because I want to use that money to buy a graphics card
I'm sorry, but when you give stuff away one winner and everybody else is a loser
I don't know. I'm a big fan of everybody to be winners, so what happened just seem practical here
Yes, I quit this backing run so anyways this guy's trying to hook me in it's like I wanna pay shipping in taxes
I'm like even with shipping and taxes on amaz. It's 300 bucks. Why are you paying the $80 more?
It's trying to get him to work himself in the hole and little by little I could because grammar is getting worse and worse with
Each leg said you know texted. He's setting me. It's probably different person each time. Anyways eventually Mike okay
Where do you want me to ship it to and sure enough?
He falls right into the cliche and asked me to send it to Nigeria like come on. It's like really
Yeah, you got to change it up a little bit guys like it's been a joke on internet since like 15 years ago
He was not a prince. I think princess need Xboxes
I mean, I don't need to go to ebay for them either way
I followed up with one last question be like look
I've been obviously trying to scam you from the very first time you started talking to me
But before you go, cuz I know you'll never talk to me again at this text
