I can't stand scammers, so I try to do something about them. Awareness is key, so I have a YouTube channel exposing them and their scams.

So to prove that anyone can be scammed, I was convinced to delete my @YouTube channel because I was convinced I was talking @YouTubeCreators support. I never lost control of the channel, but the sneaky s**t managed to get me to delete the channel. Hope to recover soon.

I played along with a @Visa scam today and got the details of a money mule. I tried to report this mule to @HSBC_UK and they were not interested. They'd "have to speak to the customer" i.e. the mule. Please train your fraud intelligence people to have some intelligence.
