- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake Up with a fang, wake Up and the club
- 0:04Speaker 1: on nine four seven.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Now, I'll tell you how this conversation started, right, and
- 0:10Speaker 2: then what it grew into. And now it's the snowball
- 0:13Speaker 2: that's about to land in your car, in your house,
- 0:17Speaker 2: at your office, because I'm pretty sure you have also
- 0:20Speaker 2: given this thought once upon a time in your life.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It started by producer Ryan telling us that when he
- 0:27Speaker 2: went to the rand Easter Show this year, there was
- 0:29Speaker 2: a lady handing out flyers saying, you know, she give
- 0:33Speaker 2: her ten thousand rands, she can make it one hundred
- 0:35Speaker 2: thousand run in three months.
- 0:36Speaker 3: Right, you give her, you.
- 0:38Speaker 2: Know, fifty thousand rands, she can make it half a
- 0:40Speaker 2: million in three months. If you give her one hundred
- 0:43Speaker 2: thousand rands, she can make it one million in three months.
- 0:47Speaker 2: And I'm just like, why didn't you take a fly
- 0:50Speaker 2: because A if you are at the rant Easter show,
- 0:53Speaker 2: surely there's some sort of vating that the organizers have done.
- 0:56Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but well they should do.
- 0:59Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying to me, People like that
- 1:02Speaker 2: are absolute red flags. And I've even tweeted this because
- 1:05Speaker 2: obviously there's somebody who's masquerading is me on TikTok. You
- 1:08Speaker 2: know if you give me ten thousand ran, it'll be
- 1:11Speaker 2: one million.
- 1:11Speaker 3: In three months.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Guys, I want to tell you right now, if I
- 1:14Speaker 2: had the chance to take ten thousand ran and make
- 1:16Speaker 2: it a million run in three months, I wouldn't.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Tell you, know, would I help you? I will take
- 1:20Speaker 3: that and do it for myself.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Exactly, well exactly, And it sounds a good true because
- 1:24Speaker 1: it is. It's not possible, like now I can do
- 1:26Speaker 1: that for you.
- 1:26Speaker 2: The conversation then, is in any deal, what is a
- 1:31Speaker 2: red flag where you just like m M. You know,
- 1:35Speaker 2: things were going fine until they said this, And when
- 1:38Speaker 2: they said that, I just switched off because I knew
- 1:41Speaker 2: this one's gonna take my money and run.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Guys, anything where I have to recruit Frankie, who must
- 1:46Speaker 4: then recruit an La who must then bring in Cindy,
- 1:49Speaker 4: I'm like, all right, thank you very much. I will
- 1:52Speaker 4: have chicken, gizzards and rice for the rest of the year.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Isn't it like when you recommend friends?
- 1:58Speaker 1: What is the machine where they you recommend friends and
- 2:02Speaker 1: then you get a discount, You get a discount, you
- 2:04Speaker 1: get it.
- 2:04Speaker 2: I don't know anyone that has gotten that team thing right.
- 2:08Speaker 3: A fashion triple.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly what it is.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I think it's if it's if.
- 2:15Speaker 5: It's like a good deal on something like, let's say,
- 2:18Speaker 5: for example, a car. Oh, this unique car has come
- 2:21Speaker 5: up and nobody but I'm the only one who knows that.
- 2:24Speaker 3: It exists in a barn. You found something like that?
- 2:29Speaker 5: Oh, I found this this really vintage like rolex online
- 2:33Speaker 5: and somebody is selling it to you know, really really cheap,
- 2:36Speaker 5: because and then if I can, if I can sell it,
- 2:38Speaker 5: I can make more. Yeah, it's probably a folxx roll loox.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Or when an estate agent says, yeah, we're receiving plenty
- 2:49Speaker 2: of offers on this one, then why do you need
- 2:50Speaker 2: to take me? Why don't you go with the plenty
- 2:52Speaker 2: of offers estate agents?
- 2:54Speaker 3: Trust me?
- 2:55Speaker 2: No, trust me. That thing doesn't work.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Stop.
- 2:57Speaker 2: But I immediately walk out and be like, I'll find another house.
- 2:59Speaker 3: You've literally just put me off this house. How I
- 3:02Speaker 3: really know it? The scam though?

- 7:33Speaker 10: was sake, and then we said be not handing it
- 7:35Speaker 10: over and we got the picture of a gun.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Because now what like now, I really wanted to do

- 8:04Speaker 2: And also they don't.
- 8:05Speaker 11: Know where you live.
- 8:06Speaker 2: So what does it matter if they want to threaten you?
- 8:09Speaker 10: Well, I said I can track us, and I fall
- 8:11Speaker 10: for it. But I mean clearly Cat.
- 8:13Speaker 1: No, Sophia. I would also be I would have done
- 8:17Speaker 1: exactly what you did. I would have handled over the
- 8:19Speaker 1: lamonade turn and said it's okay. Maybe you can't track me.
- 8:22Speaker 1: Maybe you can't, but I'm not going to risk it.
- 8:25Speaker 3: You just have your lamonade. It's fine.
- 8:27Speaker 2: What's the comment to nominator you guys Facebook Market?
- 8:31Speaker 3: I told you.
- 8:31Speaker 2: Guys, I'm no naysay, but I've only heard bad things
- 8:35Speaker 2: about Facebook Market. Now you're getting shock over lemonator.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Yeah, now you get threatened with a gun because of
- 8:41Speaker 1: a second and laminade.
- 8:42Speaker 2: And that's why the gun guy needs a leminator, because
- 8:45Speaker 2: he's tired of staining his papers with blood.
- 8:48Speaker 3: He needs a lamonade.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Pop.
- 8:50Speaker 12: See those people who say that I have lost twenty
- 8:55Speaker 12: cages within three months or something, whether we're training the
- 9:00Speaker 12: gym online course or we're buying their tea, you are lying.
- 9:07Speaker 12: You are lying. Nobody gets their dream body within that
- 9:11Speaker 12: period of time.
- 9:12Speaker 3: One huge reference is someone who keeps on like pestering you.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Someone who saw persistent with me.
- 9:19Speaker 12: It's anyone that wants me to make a percent as
- 9:22Speaker 12: a payment.
- 9:23Speaker 9: Is when they say this is a deal only.
- 9:26Speaker 2: For this show, So like you had an expo, or
- 9:29Speaker 2: you had.
- 9:29Speaker 7: A wholes show or somewhere like a market only at
- 9:34Speaker 7: this event.
- 9:36Speaker 3: No, I did need that.
- 9:38Speaker 2: Sometimes we've been taken for a round.
- 9:41Speaker 1: I mean, I can understand that it's this market only.
- 9:45Speaker 1: Are we going to do a discount? She's probably right here.
- 9:48Speaker 1: You could probably get the discout.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Any day of the read guys.
- 9:51Speaker 2: I'm naive then, because I always thought was like, what
- 9:53Speaker 2: this cupcake is only.
- 9:54Speaker 3: Ten round here?
- 9:55Speaker 2: Now give me ten rams even with meet good morning,
- 10:00Speaker 2: morning morning.

- 10:03Speaker 9: Oh, I've seen better days. I've seen better days. So
- 10:06Speaker 9: I hear you. I hear you guys talking about how
- 10:09Speaker 9: you guys you know see red flags And usually it's
- 10:12Speaker 9: what they say. For me, it's a sound that they make.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Right.
- 10:15Speaker 9: So imagine you're taking your car to a local mechanics
- 10:19Speaker 9: and you're explaining everything to them. But this is the problem.
- 10:22Speaker 9: I'm hearing a sound coming from the side here and
- 10:24Speaker 9: everything else, and this guy doesn't say anything. He literally
- 10:27Speaker 9: just goes around the car keeping quiet there looking at you,
- 10:31Speaker 9: and you're explaining what the problem is, and you hope
- 10:33Speaker 9: maybe he might just say, you know, I think there's
- 10:36Speaker 9: a problem. It will charge you this much or whatever.
- 10:37Speaker 9: He doesn't say anything, opens up the bonnets, takes such
- 10:40Speaker 9: a cigarettes and it's just whistle. When the whistle. When
- 10:48Speaker 9: you hear that whistle, flag, you must red flagg, you must.
- 10:53Speaker 2: Know ten thousands, ten thousands, right, that's the starting exactly.
- 10:58Speaker 9: Also doesn't even quote.
- 10:59Speaker 11: You never know, and then it will fix the car.
- 11:01Speaker 9: You will go buy the part where the times it
- 11:03Speaker 9: comes back with the price like eleven thousand, five undred
- 11:06Speaker 9: and five.
- 11:07Speaker 3: Lunch, but you pulled in. I mean, that's that's the
- 11:11Speaker 3: thing with these things.
- 11:11Speaker 1: You brought your opal cadet there, but you're leaving with
- 11:16Speaker 1: afford like your car's completely different.
- 11:23Speaker 9: I've been playing so many times, guys, I have that whistle.
- 11:26Speaker 9: If you haven't whistled anywhere else, you must go. You're
- 11:30Speaker 9: in this trouble. It's origin. You might even replace car seats.
- 11:34Speaker 9: You never know you're from a whistle.
- 11:37Speaker 1: Does that whistle go for any other product? Like if
- 11:40Speaker 1: you I don't know if you're taking in your microwave
- 11:42Speaker 1: and that starts whistling.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Whatever story is happening.
- 11:46Speaker 9: It depends where you go. It depends there's sort of
- 11:48Speaker 9: location that you go. Then the whistle works, right, You
- 11:51Speaker 9: won't get a whistleing sentence, right, what did you go?
- 11:55Speaker 9: There's a whistle there, and when you have a whistle,
- 11:57Speaker 9: you know that you're in for it.
- 12:00Speaker 2: For me and the other million people listening right now,
- 12:03Speaker 2: please can you do the whistle again?
- 12:05Speaker 8: Yeah?
- 12:07Speaker 9: I don't know how to whistle, but it's that it
- 12:12Speaker 9: has to have that large three syllables of at the end. Yeah,
- 12:18Speaker 9: because that whistle is.
- 12:19Speaker 2: The joke, but it's the whistle, and the whistle has
- 12:25Speaker 2: got such respect, right because.
- 12:26Speaker 10: We're just like, oh man.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Every time you say, you must know the amount is increasing.
- 12:33Speaker 11: Yeah right right right.
- 12:34Speaker 9: Yeah, every whistle.
- 12:37Speaker 2: I love it. I love it, We love it, and
- 12:38Speaker 2: we love you rams.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Thanks for the goal.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Let's wrap it up with destiny you and wood meat
- 12:43Speaker 2: as well.
- 12:43Speaker 3: Talk to us. When do you know red flag?
- 12:45Speaker 2: I'm losing money here?
- 12:48Speaker 11: Okay, good morning, morning morning. Okay, So first thing from
- 12:53Speaker 11: the previous topic. If they also make this sound, you
- 12:58Speaker 11: know the price is going the moment they think you know,
- 13:04Speaker 11: red flag, your price is going up.
- 13:06Speaker 2: And and and oh you're adding on or are you
- 13:10Speaker 2: gonna something else?
- 13:11Speaker 3: That's a red flag for you.
- 13:13Speaker 11: No, I was just saying on the previous one. Now,
- 13:15Speaker 11: my personal, my personal red flag is when you go
- 13:19Speaker 11: on the website and the website looks shaky.
- 13:23Speaker 9: Oh there's too.
- 13:25Speaker 11: Many, but it looks a bit more realistic. But if
- 13:31Speaker 11: the website looks shaky or buttons don't work on the website,
- 13:35Speaker 11: immediate red flag. Do not say anything yourself.
- 13:38Speaker 3: And you know what it is?
- 13:40Speaker 2: The website always present like there's something wrong with your connection.
- 13:43Speaker 2: This is why the website is not you know, it's loaded.
- 13:46Speaker 3: This is what it looks like. It's entirety.
- 13:48Speaker 2: It looks like somebody wrote it up with Microsoft word
- 13:51Speaker 2: yeah yeah.
- 13:52Speaker 3: And then like the.
- 13:53Speaker 1: It's then the button and the photos aren't quite You're like,
- 13:56Speaker 1: is this an American photo?
- 13:58Speaker 2: And then it is that the sizing of the photos.
- 14:00Speaker 2: The photos are all not the same size. Some some
- 14:03Speaker 2: is the square, some is the rectangle. Yes, that's when
- 14:05Speaker 2: I'm like, what's going on here? What what amateur hour
- 14:08Speaker 2: is this?
- 14:10Speaker 4: Say?
- 14:10Speaker 2: Again, when the photos as well, they're all dodgy and
- 14:14Speaker 2: they like different sizes.
- 14:17Speaker 3: On the website.
- 14:18Speaker 11: First, the photos will be blurries. Another thing is when
- 14:23Speaker 11: you try to actually play like you're put in your
- 14:25Speaker 11: card details. If the first time it does not go through,
- 14:28Speaker 11: to not do it again it is a scam.
- 14:32Speaker 3: But then sometimes there's no money in my accountant, so.
- 14:36Speaker 1: It happens with me card declined, my fault.
- 14:42Speaker 3: User problems.
- 14:44Speaker 6: Go back to making your morning and and the on
- 14:49Speaker 6: nine four seven
