hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at 10
scams you must know about so if there's a lot of money in the world but for
every dollar that exists there's a scammer trying to get it but these scams
are the newest and most mind-blowing in the world so watch this video as it
could prevent you from falling for one of these tricks but first why not
subscribe and press the notification bell to I promise it's not a scam coming
in at number 10 is fake pregnancy so this is a scam targeting stores this
scam is very simple and mind-blowing simply women make and wear fake pregnant
bellies they do this by putting some kind of round container up their shirts
to when you store God it looks like they're simply pregnant but really
they're not pregnant at all and have a secret storage device hidden under their
shirt in Ontario Canada a woman used this method to steal five thousand
dollars worth of tech she simply walked into a technology shop and took a load
of stuff but the guard said he simply thought she was pregnant so didn't do
anything about it but when they saw the security camera footage they saw she was
opening up her pregnant belly and putting things inside this is the latest
technique used by shoplifters but be warned it could still happen to you if
you don't have a shop for example there have been reports of people
pickpocketing people and then hiding whatever they take in their pregnant
bellies even if you thought they might have taken your stuff you wouldn't be
able to check inside their bellies this is because people simply don't think to
do that and also people are worried about sounding rude if they ask if
someone's pregnant so if you're a store owner than always be careful when
somebody walks in with a pregnant belly it's probably a baby but you never know
so keep an eye out next up is phone call so this one is very crafty anchored
happened to anyone on the street somebody may rush up to you and say
their phones run out of battery but they need to make an important call they'll
then ask to use your phone for just a moment you let them they make the call
and then give it back to you now you probably thought they were going to
steal your phone but that's not the scam in fact you won't find out about the
scam until much later when you check your phone balance what if the scammer
does is make a call to their personal number they then have software on their
number which makes their call very expensive this then puts your entire
phone balance into their account or if your phone balance is hooked up to your
credit card then it will take all of your balance people have lost thousands
of dollars this way and it's very hard to retrieve the money the number
the scammer calls could be located in a different country so it's very difficult
to trace so be very careful of this and politely say no in somebody else to use
your phone next up is fake ATMs so this is a very scary scam as it could lead to
you losing all your money recently a lot of people have been installing fake ATMs
over real ones this could be putting a fake keyboard
over the ATM so it registers your PIN some criminals even hide cameras inside
to take photos of your credit card and another method is putting sticky tape or
glue into the card machine so it swallows your car these are always
scammers get a hold of your credit card info or your credit card itself the best
way to avoid this scam is to be very thorough before using any ATM be sure to
pull the keyboard and if it comes off then it's a fake
also pull where you insert your card as that could be faked too and finally look
up above the keyboard some criminals hide secret tiny cameras above to
register your PIN if you see a camera above you then obviously do not use the
ATM and call 9-1-1 these fake ATMs are very common especially in cities so
always be careful next up is tipping scam have you ever worked as a waiter or
server if so you know it's not exactly the best job in the world the pay is
pretty lousy but the one good thing about it is tips there's nothing better
than getting a great tip from a customer but unfortunately some customers are
using a new scam to avoid paying the full amount let's say the tip should be
$20 but instead somebody takes a $10 bill and then faults it in a way to make
it look like a lot more if they fold it correctly they can make it look like $40
but then after they've left and you go to connect the tip you'll see it's
simply much less but after they leave and you're going to collect the tip
you'll notice it's much less of course people don't have to see it but you
should still be careful of the scam some people get super excited about this and
then a letdown when they see the real amount rumah guys always be sure to tip
your waiters and waiters be vigilant of this scam next up is lottery so this is
a very dangerous scam but it's also very simple to be carried out which makes it
all the more scary you might receive an email or a letter saying that people on
the lottery it will look for official and may even have the official lottery
logo on it but in reality you haven't won anything at all fifty percent of
Americans say they play the lottery so that means fifty percent of people
actually think they have a chance of winning it of course your chances are
slim but when you see an official looking letter you might get your hopes
up some people get caught up in the excitement of being a millionaire
overnight and they respond but in they'll ask for many confidential
questions like your banking information some people email it or send it back to
the address they then soon find out the hard way that this was a scam so they
have no money in their account and sometimes they're not able to get the
money back seeing as they gave away their information willingly you may be
thinking this would never happen to me but I think about your grandparents who
may be less savvy to a scam email you may be surprised how many people fall
for this so always tell your friends and family to watch out next up is Clovis on
your car so you're walking over to your parked car to get in it but you see some
clothing on the windscreen you may be tempted to get it off but instead don't
walk away from your car and call 9-1-1 the reason is because this is a trick
scammers are now using it may sound odd but they simply place a t-shirt or
jacket over your car and they then secure it on the windscreen with your
wind Pipers but why do they do this well most people have got their key out to
get into their car and then see this while their thing grappling to get it
out of the wind why but they're not paying attention to what's around them
this is a great opportunity for a scam to come out and steal your car keys and
then your car this has been happening all over the USA and also Europe too but
it's not long before this spreads to other areas like South America and Asia
so be careful and if you ever see clothing on your car watch out for any
scammers nearby next up is bracelet so this is a popular scam that happens in
many cities and it's a scam which has targeted mostly to tourists someone will
walk up to you and begin tying a bracelet around your arm you may think
this is a nice gift and expect it to only cost a few cents but then after
tying it on to you they'll demand a lot of money this can sometimes be 10 to 20
dollars simply for a piece of string if you say no if he'll make a big public
spectacle and the keys you have stealing this makes many people simply just pay
them to leave them alone if this happens to you what you should do is ask to see
the police and they'll start running in no time next up is ransomware so this is
a very scary hack which happens on computers let's say you click a touchy
link and it sends you to a page which download something automatically well
this can sometimes download something called a ransomware
what ransomware does is locks your computer out they then say you have to
pay them in Bitcoin and then they'll give you a code to unlock your computer
and if you don't do this within a certain time they delete all of your
files many people do this and send them the money but sometimes they don't even
send you a code so you've lost money and all your files the best way to get
around this is to good antivirus software and to not click
any dodgy links unfortunately scammers getting better and better online but at
the same time so our antivirus companies so at least it balances out the worst
case of ransomware was called one a cry which shut down many businesses and even
hospitals in the UK next up is card or penny so if this is yet another way
scammers steal your car many people lock their car doors with an automatic button
on their key but this scam makes this method unsafe criminals simply sneak a
penny into your door handle this means when you press the lock button on your
car key it won't lock that door the scammer can then open that door get into
your car and steal your ride the best thing to do is make sure all of your
tools are thoroughly closed before leaving your car unattended otherwise
