• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Is there a bitter feeling when you know a good
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Samaritan in the community is coming to help your situation?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Especially if you know they truly are a good Samaritan,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: you know? Well, that's where the story begins and ends, Shannon. Okay,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: so I know what this guy feels like. He's lost
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: his wallet, right? He's lost his wallet. I've lost my
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: wallet now. I know the feeling. I know the anxiety.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: I know the inconvenience. I know the desperation to get
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it back. What is it worth?
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: Priceless, some would say.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Um... For the inconvenience. Oh, the inconvenience. Give me a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: price and we'll negotiate to get the wallet back. I mean,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: think of home affairs queues or banking queues, getting maybe
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: other cards, other loyalty program cards, your bank cards. You've
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: got to get all of this stuff now. All right.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: And the charges for those cards. Exactly.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, that too. So this guy's lost his wallet at
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: In One City.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Aye, aye, aye.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: But he's gone and he's put an advert up on Gumtree. Oh,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he's got hope.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Gumtree.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Brave. Gumtree. He's put it all over. Yeah. He's covered
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: all bases. All right. I'm sure on a lamppost somewhere
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: outside In One City, he's got a picture of the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: wallet and a little thing where you pull the cell
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: phone number off.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So he's put it there. And you probably think, like,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what are the chances that somebody's going to phone you? Yeah.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It's probably, like, probably zero. But, hey, I'm desperate, so
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: let me try. So there's two lessons here. All right.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Two of which you're going to learn and hear firsthand.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: The second lesson is the master of manipulation.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: What's the first? But I'm also a good Samaritan, you know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: So here we go.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Hello, I'm phoning about the lost wallet, the advert in Gumtree.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Was that your wallet? That's right. And you lost it
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: at N1 City.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Well, I've got some good news for you. Okay. I'm
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: going to be looking for it. Oh, no. Okay. Thanks.
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: That would be great.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Just know that you've got somebody on the case.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Fantastic. Where are you based? Where are you going to
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: be looking for it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I'm going to start in one city, and then I'm
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: going to broaden the search.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Start in the parking lot.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Which level?
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: Ground level.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Ground level.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And what is your name?
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You got my number. If you find the wallet, just
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: phone me. I mean, chances are you'll be finding the
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: wallet in the parking lot right now. It's more the
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: advert out there for someone to find it, not for
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: someone to go look for it.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I'm an active citizen, and I'm going to go and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: find it for you. So... I think.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: You're wasting your time phoning me.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I'm just... Hi, Sean.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Sean?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yes, you found it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: It's Peter here. I just wanted to give you an update.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: I haven't found it as yet.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Okay, but just know I'm on the case.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Oh, fantastic.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Just know you've got the best man on the case here.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Okay, cool.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Sean. Okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Ciao.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Bye. Bye.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Bye. Hi, Sean. Yes. Hi.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Sorry.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Sorry.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Did you find it?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. I haven't found it as yet. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: just wanted to give you the good news that I'm
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: still looking.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Okay, great.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Ciao, boss. Ciao, boss. Ciao, boss.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Hello?
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, guy. Hi. So tell me, just give me some details.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: It's a black wallet. Well, what is the name on
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the credit card that I can identify? Sean. Sean? Yeah, Sean. Ah. Sean, okay.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And what type of card is it?
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: What type of card is it?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Bank. What sort of bank?
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: F & B.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: And what are the numbers on the cards? Just so
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I can cross-check exactly.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: You wouldn't need to. It's got my name on it.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but there might be a few Sean's. You know
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Do you know roughly what the expiry
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: date was?
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Probably 2000. I need to know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: What month?
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: Third.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: So if you can just give me the credit card number. Okay.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Give me a second. Give me a second, I'll get
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: those details for you.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Okay. Hello? Hello, yes. Okay.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Okay, here we go.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: 6495.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yep. 7840. Yep.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: Six, five, nine, six.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Seven, eight. Okay, now, in all likelihood, there could be
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: some guy that has the same name, same card number,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: same sparring date, but you can never have the same
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: number at the back. So what are those last three
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: numbers at the back, the CVV numbers?
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: Two, six, seven.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, my gosh. Two, six, seven. Okay, now, I'm going
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: to go and look for this card. and I'll cross-reference everything,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and I'll do you the greatest favor.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Fantastic.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: All right. Okay. Okay.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Ciao.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Ciao.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Bye. Bye. Hello?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Sean, I just wanted to find out something. Do you
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: always give total strangers all your credit card details over
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the phone?
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: My heart is racing. You don't understand how angry you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: making me.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Why am I making you angry? I'm trying to help you.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: And that was that. That was where it ended. I
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: would have bought something. I was blocked.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: No, I got new shoes.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: You know, the first half, it was quite a tender,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: touching service that you were offering.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I was kind of into it. And, like, the daily check-ins.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Because, you see, at one point, I thought, well, look,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: I'm never going to find this wallet because I've already
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: gone through three levels of parking lots. How am I
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: going to get paid? There's only a reward for payment.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It's not a reward for attempt.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: So the only way for me to extract some money
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: out of this is to get the credit card details
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and make a couple purchases on Takealot.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But also you caught that man when he was so vulnerable,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: you know. He just wanted to get his things back
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: and here he is giving.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: His personal info. You're delirious at that point.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: You're not thinking clearly.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: I sympathize. I sympathize.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: You do weird things when you.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Also, you are too smooth as a good Samaritan.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That poor man.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: He was like, what other number do you want?
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: See, one, two, three.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: And if you've ever clicked a dodgy link, shared your
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: detail on dodgy websites, you have no right to judge.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: It happens so quickly. It's so quick.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And you sounded like a simpleton.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So he wasn't thinking this guy's got a scheme. So
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: now you were scammed by that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: That's why the guy, he had to put down the phone.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: He was embarrassed.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Embarrassing.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: You know, Brad, that's so offensive.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: The character.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: The role of. Because my lived experience. You must know
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: what it's like being called Simpson. My whole life.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Oh, now you're going deep now.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I was called by teachers.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Hey, simpleton. Oh, that's triggered me, Brad. Brad.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's for you as the therapist. I'm sorry for your hurt.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I was always called Simpleton and then The Simpsons came
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: out and that saved me because then they all called
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: me bot.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: All Brad wanted to do was compliment your pranking.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Your range as a character. Absolutely. I'm so sorry, Brad.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: No, well, I'm glad Darren's delving into his feelings.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Brad, you know.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: That's where the real work begins.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I feel nothing. I am not offended at all.

  Speaker 1: Please call me Simpleton again. No, just call me Simpleton

  Speaker 1: Tell me I'm wrong. Oh, so good. Tell me I'm wrong.

  Speaker 1: so we've got some messages here from the prank this morning.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Kudos to you, Darren. I don't understand.

• 9:51
  Speaker 1: don't phone me again. Darren, the way you can scam people.

  Speaker 3: My gosh.

  Speaker 2: Yeah.

  Speaker 3: You're not thinking clearly.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: You've got to always be switched on. Yeah. It's not

  Speaker 1: the first time I've extracted all the credit cards, details
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: from somebody.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: And it's not the first time that we've told you
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you would be a brilliant scammer.

  Speaker 1: Which is why scamming has been a … In another life.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: In another life, yeah.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: It's been something that's been done for centuries. It's because

• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Of the scam.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
