- 3:18Speaker 3: Like, it's interesting to me.
- 3:19Speaker 4: Um hence loving this podcast but i i was scammed.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Um i i was on on the receiving end of.
- 3:27Speaker 4: A classic craigslist scam no where yeah i mean that's
- 3:32Speaker 4: the og um yeah i basically okay so i it's
- 3:37Speaker 4: this is a very i sound like this is gonna
- 3:39Speaker 4: be a very long story it's actually quite short i
- 3:40Speaker 4: had An apartment on the Upper East Side with roommates
- 3:43Speaker 4: when I was in my 20s. And there were just
- 3:46Speaker 4: like a couple of things that were going on in
- 3:47Speaker 4: the apartment that were super weird. Like one day the
- 3:51Speaker 4: toilet seat was up in our downstairs bathroom with like
- 3:54Speaker 4: pee in it. And like there were no men who
- 3:56Speaker 4: lived in the apartment. It was just like three girls.
- 3:57Speaker 3: And we're like.
- 3:58Speaker 4: What is that from and like no one had a
- 4:00Speaker 4: boyfriend over like we were all just like why is
- 4:03Speaker 4: the toilet sit up and yeah and we were just
- 4:05Speaker 4: kind of like weirded out by that and then there
- 4:06Speaker 4: was another day where like my roommate's towel was like
- 4:09Speaker 4: balled up and soaking wet in the corner of the
- 4:11Speaker 4: bathroom and she was like did you do that and
- 4:13Speaker 4: I was like no and then the other roommate was
- 4:15Speaker 4: like of course not no one's like throwing your towel
- 4:17Speaker 4: on the ground and so we thought we had a
- 4:19Speaker 4: ghost and so as kind of as a ghost yeah
- 4:24Speaker 4: we thought we had a ghost and like almost like
- 4:27Speaker 4: kind of a bit with each other but not we
- 4:30Speaker 4: found this person on craigslist who um claimed to like
- 4:34Speaker 4: come to your house and it was like a ghost
- 4:36Speaker 4: hunter show and they were looking for people to be
- 4:39Speaker 4: on it and i applied and they were like we're
- 4:42Speaker 4: coming over so we so we ended up having this
- 4:45Speaker 4: person say like yeah we want to like have you
- 4:48Speaker 4: on our reality show and we're going to come to
- 4:49Speaker 4: your house and And like film you and talk about
- 4:53Speaker 4: the ghost and like do a whole assessment.
- 4:55Speaker 3: Like like a Ghostbuster. Right.
- 4:57Speaker 4: And the strange thing was, I don't know what they
- 4:59Speaker 4: were getting out of the scam because they just kept
- 5:02Speaker 4: standing us up. So we would be waiting for them
- 5:04Speaker 4: to come over and they're supposed to come over like
- 5:06Speaker 4: 6 p.m. And then. 6.30, 7, 8 would roll around
- 5:09Speaker 4: and they just weren't showing up. And so then we
- 5:11Speaker 4: would email them and we're like, hey, what ended up happening?
- 5:13Speaker 4: They're like, oh, sorry, sorry, sorry. We're coming tomorrow night.
- 5:16Speaker 4: And they just kept not showing up and we kept
- 5:19Speaker 4: falling for it.
- 5:20Speaker 3: And that is- Did they take money from you? No, nothing.
- 5:24Speaker 3: I was like, what is this?
- 5:26Speaker 4: You're like pretending to be a Ghostbuster, but you're not
- 5:29Speaker 4: gaining anything, but just like like kind of fucking with
- 5:33Speaker 4: people's time. I don't understand what you're getting out of this.
- 5:36Speaker 4: But anyways, I felt very scammed.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Right.
- 5:39Speaker 2: Maybe it was kids, you know, and they were just
- 5:41Speaker 2: having a fun trolling or something.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Maybe. The emails were quite sophisticated.
- 5:46Speaker 4: Like they knew sort of like the ins and outs
- 5:48Speaker 4: of production to a degree. So I was like, okay,
- 5:50Speaker 4: like this sounds like maybe it's for a TLC show
- 5:54Speaker 4: or like whatever other channel was doing reality back then.
- 5:57Speaker 3: So yeah, anyways, I don't know what ended up happening, but...
- 6:01Speaker 3: That's so funny to me.
- 6:02Speaker 2: I wish they would have showed up literally with like
- 6:04Speaker 2: no cameras, just doing that like director thing with their hand.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Now stand over there next to the wall. It's just
- 6:08Speaker 3: like a long troll. You're like face the corner. You're like,
- 6:11Speaker 3: oh no, it's Blair Witch. Um, yeah. So yeah. I
- 6:18Speaker 3: want to know why they were doing this.
- 6:20Speaker 2: This is so unfinished to me. I wish that they
- 6:22Speaker 2: had come or at least tried to, you know, spray something.
- 6:25Speaker 3: I would have come.
- 6:25Speaker 2: I feel like ghost extermination is such a great profession.
- 6:28Speaker 2: How are you going to tell me I can get
- 6:29Speaker 2: rid of the ghost?
- 6:29Speaker 3: How do you don't know? You know? Yeah. You don't know.
- 6:32Speaker 3: It's actually, yeah, you're right.
- 6:33Speaker 4: And you could totally be like, I, I, I purged
- 6:36Speaker 4: your house of the spirit.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Like you owe me $ 200. And I'd be like, Well,
- 6:41Speaker 3: I can't really contest that.
- 6:43Speaker 4: I mean, I guess if like the pee doesn't show
- 6:45Speaker 4: up in the toilet with the seat up, that means
- 6:48Speaker 4: the ghost is gone.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Like, I don't know.
- 6:49Speaker 4: It was just that whole apartment was kind of cursed.
- 6:52Speaker 4: I also fell down the stairs at one point.
- 6:55Speaker 3: And yeah, it was. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 6:58Speaker 2: It's funny because psychics like to do that too. But
- 7:00Speaker 2: they'll like, you have a curse on you and it's
- 7:03Speaker 2: going to cost $ 500.
- 7:04Speaker 3: To lift it. And if you don't lift it, then
- 7:06Speaker 3: your mama gonna die. Yeah.
- 7:08Speaker 2: So guys, let's get into our first segment. What's hot
- 7:11Speaker 2: and fraud? I love this dog. Jamie's got a big
- 7:15Speaker 2: dog in the background. What kind of, it's a Labradoodle?
- 7:17Speaker 3: There's two.
- 7:17Speaker 4: There's a Labradoodle and then this like schnauzer poodle mix
- 7:21Speaker 4: that we rescued from China.
- 7:23Speaker 3: Oh, from China.
- 7:24Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Right before the pandemic. He survived two pandemics.
- 7:28Speaker 4: Wow.
- 7:28Speaker 3: He's incredible.
- 7:29Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:30Speaker 3: We love it. They're very noisy. Yeah. He's a survivor.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 7:34Speaker 2: So, guys, let's get into our first segment, What's Hot
- 7:36Speaker 2: and Fraud? This is where we warn our listeners about
- 7:38Speaker 2: popping scams in the street. As always, you can email
- 7:40Speaker 2: scamgoddesspod at gmail.com. Just don't snitch on your friends and
- 7:43Speaker 2: family before the scam is retired. We don't want to
- 7:46Speaker 2: fuck up your bag. But, guys, today— oh, Jamie, I need
- 7:48Speaker 2: a fake name. We don't care about gender on here.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Ooh, okay.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Danica.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Danica. Danica. Okay.
- 7:56Speaker 2: So Danica says, I was scammed and rightfully so. This
- 8:00Speaker 2: is what optimism gets you when you're trying to buy
- 8:02Speaker 2: psychedelics on Instagram.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. My dogs barked at that. They're like, we're listening. Psychedelics.
- 8:10Speaker 2: So it says, I've been going to therapy and my
- 8:12Speaker 2: therapist recommended I look into microdosing.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Wow.
- 8:16Speaker 2: I've never had a therapist.
- 8:17Speaker 3: Okay. Me neither. Okay. I've never had a therapist be like,
- 8:20Speaker 3: and how does that make you feel? Okay, okay. Have
- 8:23Speaker 3: you tried shrooms? Right.
- 8:25Speaker 4: Have you tried staring at the wall and envisioning a portal? Right.
- 8:30Speaker 2: Because I think that could really help with your self-esteem issue.
- 8:34Speaker 3: Yeah, wow.
- 8:35Speaker 4: I mean.
- 8:36Speaker 3: I guess I have.
- 8:37Speaker 4: Heard of microdosing being a thing people are doing, obviously. But, yeah,
- 8:42Speaker 4: I've never heard of a therapist prescribing it in that way.
- 8:45Speaker 4: That is new to me. Right. Yeah.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Like, I'm like, is your therapist also a scam? Because
- 8:49Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I've just never had someone be like, you know, these
- 8:51Speaker 2: issues with your father, they're really making me think of LSD.
- 8:55Speaker 3: Yeah. Right, right. Have you tried tripping? You're like, wait, what?
- 9:01Speaker 3: Have you tried crack? Okay.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I know they say it's whack, but honestly, in moderation,
- 9:06Speaker 2: crack is very energizing.
- 9:09Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like, actually, crack has gotten a really bad reputation,
- 9:12Speaker 4: but there are a lot of things you can do
- 9:14Speaker 4: with it besides lose your home and your family.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Right. Cool, cool. Okay. Just don't get out of control.
- 9:20Speaker 3: A little crack every Tuesday. Yeah, micro crack. Micro crack. Yeah,
- 9:25Speaker 3: no big deal. No big deal. MBD.
- 9:28Speaker 2: So Danica's listening to her therapist. She thought, the therapist said,
- 9:32Speaker 2: I thought that you would like shrooms. But Danica said
- 9:36Speaker 2: that they're pretty hard to find. So I'm going to
- 9:38Speaker 2: have to try to figure it out. So Danica decides
- 9:40Speaker 2: to look on the gram. She says, I have plenty
- 9:43Speaker 2: of pleasant interactions and made plenty of legitimate purchases. So
- 9:47Speaker 2: this can't be much different buying some mushrooms. So after
- 9:50Speaker 2: little to no research, I found a now deleted account
- 9:54Speaker 2: that or maybe it blocked me called Silo Delic.
- 9:57Speaker 4: Wait, can I say one thing really quick? I was
- 9:59Speaker 4: thinking about this therapist. Sorry, I'm not I can't get
- 10:02Speaker 4: past this. If you are a therapist recommending mushrooms to
- 10:05Speaker 4: your clients, you.
- 10:06Speaker 3: Better have a guy here. Call James. That's a good point, Jamie. Like,
- 10:12Speaker 3: send me on a wild goose chase. Exactly. I was
- 10:15Speaker 3: just so stressed as you were talking about this.
- 10:17Speaker 4: I'm like, wait, why didn't he help her find them?
- 10:19Speaker 3: Like, doesn't he know someone? You are right about that.
- 10:24Speaker 3: You're the therapist.
- 10:25Speaker 2: If you prescribe it, you can't give me a script
- 10:27Speaker 2: or at least an alley to go to?
- 10:30Speaker 3: Yeah. Make a connection. Introduce over email. Like, something.
- 10:34Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 10:36Speaker 3: A formal introduction from your therapist to their drug dealer. Yeah, something.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Yeah, it's wild to make somebody go out and hunt
- 10:42Speaker 2: for themselves to find mushrooms.
- 10:44Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Yeah, loop us in. Loop
- 10:46Speaker 3: us in. At least point them to a neighborhood. Like,
- 10:48Speaker 3: they got a lot of Silver Lake. You're right. You're
- 10:51Speaker 3: right about that. So, Psylodelic is the name of the
- 10:54Speaker 3: Instagram site. And it's spelled.
- 10:56Speaker 2: P-S-I-L-O dot D-E-L-I-C.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Allegedly, they maybe sell mushrooms. Let's see.
- 11:02Speaker 2: But I don't know if the page is, they don't
- 11:03Speaker 2: know if it blocked them or if they deleted the page.
- 11:07Speaker 2: So it says, I messaged them and they wanted to
- 11:09Speaker 2: sell me 10 bags of shroom gummies. I talked them
- 11:12Speaker 2: down to two for $ 130. They talked me back up
- 11:15Speaker 2: to five total spent $ 325.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Okay. Right. After the people at the agency in quotes
- 11:22Speaker 3: said they don't deal in small quantities. So fuck it.
- 11:25Speaker 3: I've come this far. I'm in right. You got a
- 11:27Speaker 3: fake prescription from your therapist. Fine.
- 11:30Speaker 2: So it says I sent all this money through cash app. Ooh,
- 11:32Speaker 2: that's a big scam app.
- 11:34Speaker 3: Okay. Cash app is for crime. When it's crime time,
- 11:37Speaker 3: cash app. I hope to have an ad one day.
- 11:41Speaker 3: It's just me like when it's crime time. Police on
- 11:45Speaker 3: your back. Cash app. You know, I got it.
- 11:49Speaker 4: I don't know much about cash app, but yeah, this
- 11:52Speaker 4: whole this whole thing is stressing me out.
- 11:53Speaker 3: OK, keep going.
- 11:54Speaker 2: So it says then the person tells me they need
- 11:56Speaker 2: another hundred fifty dollars for insurance, but it's fully refundable.
- 12:00Speaker 2: They say insurance for what?
- 12:03Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Drug insurance. What are we talking about? That's
- 12:06Speaker 3: like drug receipts. I've never got bought some illegal drugs.
- 12:09Speaker 3: And I was like, thank you. Come again. Here's the
- 12:11Speaker 3: whole point is like there's no trail. Like, well, what
- 12:13Speaker 3: are we? Yeah, I don't even understand that.
- 12:16Speaker 4: Right.
- 12:16Speaker 3: What are you ensuring that it works? Right. Or are
- 12:21Speaker 3: you going to ensure the package?
- 12:22Speaker 2: Because I'm pretty sure you can't call USPS and be like,
- 12:24Speaker 2: somebody lost my box of shrooms and it's worth.
- 12:27Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds like you're making an under the table
- 12:29Speaker 4: deal very over the table. And I don't see how
- 12:31Speaker 4: that's good for either party.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Right. It's a little weird. So they say it's fully refundable, which, honey, okay.
- 12:40Speaker 3: So whatever. I bite.
- 12:41Speaker 2: At this point, Danica's like, I'm down the rabbit hole.
- 12:43Speaker 2: I'm going to get these shrooms gummies.
- 12:46Speaker 3: The goods should arrive in 24 hours, they say. Ten
- 12:48Speaker 3: minutes later, I get another message asking for one more thing. Oh,
- 12:52Speaker 3: my God, no. One more thing. One more thing.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Since you already gave us the insurance money, I need
- 12:59Speaker 2: $ 50 for gas.
- 13:03Speaker 3: Okay. Okay. Wow. Okay. Gas is high. Gas is high.
- 13:10Speaker 3: But I am confusion because is this gas like you
- 13:12Speaker 3: need to drive out to the woods to pick the shrooms?
- 13:14Speaker 2: Or this is gas to go to the post office?
- 13:16Speaker 2: Or are you going to drive the shrooms to me?
- 13:18Speaker 3: I am confusion. Also, you got the $ 150 deposit. You
- 13:21Speaker 3: can't use the deposit to get the gas? Yeah, what
- 13:24Speaker 3: was the deposit for?
- 13:26Speaker 4: And then also it's like if this is really how
- 13:28Speaker 4: you like, let's just like give them the benefit of
- 13:30Speaker 4: the doubt and say this is how they do business.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Like you should just be really clear in what the
- 13:35Speaker 4: money is for. Like I need this for this. I
- 13:37Speaker 4: need $ 50 for this. You should just say it all
- 13:39Speaker 4: up front and like you'll sound way more legit.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Right.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Also, drugs are never something that are prepaid. Like you
- 13:45Speaker 2: may definitely not on a phone. You can prepay, you know,
- 13:49Speaker 2: when you're right.
- 13:50Speaker 4: This isn't like your rent. Like, yeah, you're not. This
- 13:53Speaker 4: is not like you and your landlord with like a deposit.
- 13:56Speaker 4: Like you'll get this back at the end of the year.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Like, what are we talking about? What are you talking about?
- 13:59Speaker 2: Talking about i don't need it like yeah you're absolutely
- 14:01Speaker 2: right about that like what in what case would i
- 14:04Speaker 2: not get the deposit back is my question like what
- 14:07Speaker 2: would i have to do for them to be like
- 14:09Speaker 2: well we got to keep your deposit on the drugs
- 14:12Speaker 2: what but also.
- 14:14Speaker 4: The whole point of getting like i have dealing with
- 14:17Speaker 4: a drug dealer is like they just like give you
- 14:19Speaker 4: the stuff like there are no strings like the whole
- 14:22Speaker 4: point is you're signing up for no strings and now
- 14:24Speaker 4: this person seems to have a lot of strings i
- 14:26Speaker 4: don't know i just yeah i don't right.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Like i gotta send in a rebate i hate it
- 14:31Speaker 2: yeah you made some scams they'd be like if you
- 14:33Speaker 2: mail this it's like i don't have enough time.
- 14:34Speaker 3: To mail this and they know that i don't want
- 14:36Speaker 3: to do stamps no.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Drug rebates this is a lot i i watch the
- 14:41Speaker 2: wire i'm supposed to come to the corner we do
- 14:42Speaker 2: a handshake i got the money you got the drug
- 14:45Speaker 2: exactly i leave yeah it's quick.
- 14:47Speaker 4: And dirty like let's just do it and get out
- 14:51Speaker 4: But I believe, you know, Instagram has, because it's become
- 14:53Speaker 4: this marketplace and they sell so many things, I think
- 14:56Speaker 4: people have become really comfortable with purchasing things on Instagram.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Now they have a whole purchase button on there where
- 15:02Speaker 2: it's like, come here, buy something.
- 15:03Speaker 4: Yeah. The little like purse icon that they send to you. Like, yeah,
- 15:07Speaker 4: they're like, you can have friends and new clothes.
- 15:10Speaker 3: You're like, okay, thanks for caring. Instagram's such a big Amazon.
- 15:13Speaker 3: This is a lot. Yeah. Yeah. I don't need this
- 15:15Speaker 3: from you. So this is when I realized Danica said
- 15:18Speaker 3: that I had been scammed. Okay, baby, it was a
- 15:20Speaker 3: little late.
- 15:22Speaker 2: I would have probably realized at the deposit, you know,
- 15:25Speaker 2: area that you had been scammed, but okay. So despite
- 15:28Speaker 2: the person repeatedly assuring me that they were legit, a
- 15:31Speaker 2: world where you cannot trust drug dealers on Instagram is
- 15:34Speaker 2: not a world I want to live in.
- 15:36Speaker 4: Amen.
- 15:40Speaker 3: Amen.
- 15:40Speaker 2: I don't want to live in that either, Danica. I'm
- 15:42Speaker 2: so sorry that that happened to you. They should have
- 15:44Speaker 2: gave you the drugs. Or at least give you your
- 15:46Speaker 2: deposit back. We're going to take a quick break for
- 15:50Speaker 2: some non-scam advertisements. We'll be right back with historic hoodwinks. Scams!
- 15:59Speaker 2: And we are back, and it's time for my favorite
- 16:01Speaker 2: segment of the show, Historic Hoodwinks.
- 16:03Speaker 3: This is when I will regale Jamie with a famous
- 16:05Speaker 3: con caper, con artiste group of criminals. Who knows? Maybe
- 16:09Speaker 3: we love them. Maybe we hate them.
- 16:11Speaker 2: We'll see, and we'll get her opinions all throughout. So
- 16:14Speaker 2: today we're talking about Bob Ennis of Northern California.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Whoop, whoop. Shout out to Cali. Who runs a website
- 16:22Speaker 3: called rentahitman.com.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I love this, Jamie, because you already told the story
- 16:29Speaker 2: of like going on Craigslist to try to find the Ghostbusters.
- 16:32Speaker 2: And unfortunately, Leslie Jones did not pull up to your
- 16:34Speaker 2: place and eradicate what is surely a male ghost because
- 16:38Speaker 2: they're leaving the toilet seat up and the towel wet
- 16:40Speaker 2: and shit.
- 16:41Speaker 4: Right. Even even even as as vapor, he still has
- 16:45Speaker 4: to put the at least he's a considerate ghost.
- 16:47Speaker 3: I mean, that was really the takeaway. At least he cares. Anyways.
- 16:49Speaker 3: But my thing is, is like.
- 16:51Speaker 2: I don't think men should even be allowed to be ghosts.
- 16:53Speaker 2: Y'all haunt us enough when y'all alive. Like, y'all don't
- 16:55Speaker 2: get to haunt us when you're dead. Y'all got to
- 16:57Speaker 2: go away.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Like, what?
- 16:58Speaker 4: You guys ghost us when you're alive and then you
- 17:01Speaker 4: keep ghosting us when you're dead.
- 17:02Speaker 3: Right. It's like, you've done enough ghosting while you were here.
- 17:05Speaker 4: Too much ghosting.
- 17:05Speaker 3: We don't need that.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Casper was the only male ghost I fucked with. And
- 17:08Speaker 2: even him after a while.
- 17:09Speaker 3: I was like, Casper, go home. Yeah, he was a
- 17:12Speaker 3: little needy. He was needy as fuck.
- 17:14Speaker 2: He was like, let me go to the dance with you, girl.
- 17:16Speaker 3: No, so I can dance with Aaron, look crazy. Like,
- 17:18Speaker 3: get out of here, Casper. He was clingy as fuck.
- 17:21Speaker 2: Show up like regular ghosts at night and do the ooh, boo,
- 17:25Speaker 2: and get out.
- 17:26Speaker 3: Right. Cheat over the head with the eye holes. Like,
- 17:30Speaker 3: just keep it classic, ghosts. Right. We don't need this, like,
- 17:32Speaker 3: you want to go to events now, ghosts? Like, come
- 17:35Speaker 3: on now. I got to get a plus one for
- 17:37Speaker 3: your ghost ass?
- 17:37Speaker 4: No.
- 17:38Speaker 3: So rentahitman.com, which is a very straightforward URL. And I
- 17:43Speaker 3: appreciate that. Yeah, at least they get straight to it. Yeah,
- 17:45Speaker 3: I do too. I do too. There's really, there's nothing
- 17:47Speaker 3: left to the imagination there. Number one on Google. You know,
- 17:51Speaker 3: I put in hitman, rentahitman's right there. There we go.
- 17:54Speaker 2: And I love that it's rentahitman. Like you can't buy one,
- 17:57Speaker 2: but you can rent one for a few hours.
- 18:00Speaker 3: Yeah, on lease.
- 18:02Speaker 2: So he started it with a college friend in 2005
- 18:04Speaker 2: as an IT help site. but it quickly took on
- 18:08Speaker 2: a life of its own. The Renta Hitman site became
- 18:10Speaker 2: an accidental murder-for-hire sting operation. Okay, I don't know if
- 18:15Speaker 2: it was accidental. You did call it basically like murder-your-enemies.com.
- 18:20Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not really a business you fall into. Right.
- 18:23Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like you either initiate it or it
- 18:27Speaker 4: doesn't happen.
- 18:30Speaker 3: It's not like, oops, I'm a hitman. Oops, I'm a hitman.
- 18:35Speaker 3: That's where I went, my brain. Free Brent name. So
- 18:38Speaker 3: how it started.
- 18:39Speaker 2: It started with an IT help website and a cheeky
- 18:42Speaker 2: domain name. So they thought they were being funny with Brentahitman.com,
- 18:45Speaker 2: which I don't. This man, Bob, has to be white
- 18:48Speaker 2: because no black person would ever think it was funny
- 18:50Speaker 2: to name a website URL like.
- 18:53Speaker 3: Crime.com. I love him defending it. He's like, it's not
- 18:56Speaker 3: like funny. Ha ha. It's like, no, man, it's just,
- 18:59Speaker 3: it's just not funny.
- 19:01Speaker 4: Right.
- 19:01Speaker 2: You made a website called murderyourwife.com and then was like,
- 19:05Speaker 2: oh my God, people keep coming over here talking about
- 19:06Speaker 2: they want their wife murdered.
- 19:07Speaker 3: It's so bizarre.
- 19:08Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:08Speaker 3: You're like women get killed by their spouses all the time.
- 19:11Speaker 3: He's like, I didn't know that.
- 19:13Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 19:14Speaker 2: So rent implied hire and hit refers to website clicks
- 19:19Speaker 2: or visitor traffic and analytics. And man implied the team
- 19:24Speaker 2: of professionals behind the site. A few buddies who'd recently
- 19:28Speaker 2: graduated from a California business school with it degrees. I
- 19:31Speaker 2: love how they define the whole name. They're like rent.
- 19:34Speaker 2: It was just like us being like, we going to
- 19:36Speaker 2: help y'all out.
- 19:37Speaker 3: It's a service.
- 19:38Speaker 2: And then hit is like clicks on a website. It's like,
- 19:41Speaker 2: We were supposed to do all that math?
- 19:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:45Speaker 4: No.
- 19:45Speaker 2: Nobody's thinking about that. So Bob registered a domain in
- 19:48Speaker 2: 2005 with the... tagline, your point and click solution.
- 19:53Speaker 3: That still sounds like a hit man to me. You
- 19:55Speaker 3: point the gun. You click the trigger. You click it. Yup.
- 19:58Speaker 4: Yup.
- 19:58Speaker 3: Yup. He's like, no, no, no, no. We're talking about
- 20:00Speaker 3: a mouse. I'm like, I don't know. This is America.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Seems like you're talking about a gun.
- 20:03Speaker 4: Yeah. It sounds a little gunny to me.
- 20:06Speaker 3: Right.
- 20:06Speaker 4: Right.
- 20:07Speaker 2: So the website also says, got a problem that needs solving?
- 20:10Speaker 2: With over 17,985 US-based field operatives, we can find a
- 20:15Speaker 2: solution that's right for you. So you just said you
- 20:18Speaker 2: had 17,000 murderers.
- 20:20Speaker 3: To me, I don't... Right. Field operatives. Yeah. That's also
- 20:26Speaker 3: hella vague.
- 20:27Speaker 2: Like, you could have said IT technicians at that point.
- 20:30Speaker 2: You already got Ren and Hitman as your domain.
- 20:32Speaker 4: Like.
- 20:33Speaker 3: Exactly. Yeah. This is, yeah. It sounds like murder to me. Yeah,
- 20:38Speaker 3: it sounds very much so like murder.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Okay, so it sat on the website collecting dust until
- 20:42Speaker 2: Bob decided to check the website's email address one day
- 20:45Speaker 2: in 2008. Bob said, this is when things got really ugly.
- 20:49Speaker 2: Over the three years, the website sat idle. The domain
- 20:52Speaker 2: received multiple inquiries from people looking to hire hitmen and
- 20:55Speaker 2: not the kind that get your website clicks.
- 20:58Speaker 3: Duh. Oh, yeah. Okay.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Yeah. Okay.
- 21:02Speaker 3: I don't understand. They was like, crime.com. And then they
- 21:05Speaker 3: were like, oh, my God, people keep coming here to
- 21:06Speaker 3: do crime. It's so bizarre.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Like, what do they think we do? Guys, this is
- 21:11Speaker 4: exactly what was going to happen. Everything is exactly as
- 21:14Speaker 4: it should be.
- 21:15Speaker 3: Right.
- 21:16Speaker 2: So Bob said, for clarification, I am not a hitman. Yeah,
- 21:20Speaker 2: you really did need to clear that up because right now, Bob,
- 21:23Speaker 2: I thought you was a hitman. I'm thinking you are.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 3: So it says, I simply play the part of a
- 21:27Speaker 3: matchmaker between the solicitor and field operatives.
- 21:31Speaker 2: Still sounds like you might be coordinating hits.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Oh my God. Yeah. So using the alias Guido Finelli,
- 21:41Speaker 3: Bob responded to- Guido finale. Bob, you a murderer. I
- 21:48Speaker 3: don't like none of this. Guido finale.
- 21:50Speaker 4: That is so, yeah, it sounds so mobster. Like everything
- 21:55Speaker 4: is just very hit man.
- 21:56Speaker 3: How is this man trying to play?
- 21:57Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 21:58Speaker 3: You sound like a soprano and they killed lots of people.
- 22:01Speaker 3: Under the alias Scarface and under the email, say hello
- 22:05Speaker 3: to my little friend. Like what? Bob, you a criminal.
- 22:10Speaker 4: So Bob responded to- I feel like he's definitely like
- 22:12Speaker 4: decapitated some horses and put them in the bed.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Right. But that's a very chill intimidation. Yeah. I think so, too. Yeah, subtle, subtle.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Subtle intimidation. You know, a little horse head here and there.
- 22:23Speaker 2: Ain't nothing wrong with that. It never hurt nobody. So
- 22:27Speaker 2: Bob will respond to these requests, furthering details so a
- 22:30Speaker 2: field operative, in quotes, could be assigned the case.
- 22:33Speaker 3: The clients. The first hit was from a woman by
- 22:35Speaker 3: the name of Helen. She was out of the UK
- 22:37Speaker 3: but stranded in Canada. She'd written a long letter rambling.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Emails saying how she was screwed out of her father's
- 22:43Speaker 2: inheritance by three family members. She had no money and
- 22:46Speaker 2: no place to live. She was stranded in Canada without
- 22:48Speaker 2: a passport, so she can't even leave. She wanted retaliation
- 22:52Speaker 2: against her aunt, uncle, and one other family member and
- 22:54Speaker 2: provided a physical address.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Okay, so here's my thing. You ain't got no money, Helen.
- 22:59Speaker 2: You ain't got no passport, honey. But you got coins
- 23:02Speaker 2: for murder? Because last time I checked, murder was not free.
- 23:04Speaker 2: I don't heard of pro bono murder.
- 23:07Speaker 3: No, there is not. That's not how it works. And
- 23:10Speaker 3: what I know about murder, that's not usually how it goes.
- 23:12Speaker 3: I don't even think you can barter for murder. It's like, look,
- 23:15Speaker 3: I have a peach tree.
- 23:17Speaker 2: So if y'all want these peaches in exchange for murdering
- 23:20Speaker 2: my three relatives, like, I don't think you can do
- 23:22Speaker 2: a bartering system.
- 23:23Speaker 3: Like, honey, you need money.
- 23:25Speaker 2: So Bob said, when I first received the email, I
- 23:27Speaker 2: was helping my brother move from LA back up here
- 23:29Speaker 2: to the Bay Area. So I was loading a U-Haul
- 23:31Speaker 2: truck full of his belongings. I didn't really take time
- 23:33Speaker 2: to read the email in depth. I just thought it
- 23:35Speaker 2: was a troubled person and really didn't give it much thought.
- 23:38Speaker 3: Um, Bob? Hmm.
- 23:40Speaker 2: She said she wanted you to murder her uncle. You
- 23:44Speaker 2: know what's funny? She got cut out of the inheritance.
- 23:46Speaker 2: She's not going to get the inheritance it looks like
- 23:49Speaker 2: even if they die. But she's like, I need revenge.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, poor Helen. Poor Helen.
- 23:57Speaker 2: TV revenge always makes me laugh, though, because it's like,
- 23:59Speaker 2: what do you really get out of revenge?
- 24:01Speaker 4: Nothing. Yeah, it feels maybe great for five seconds, and
- 24:04Speaker 4: then the rest of your life, you're the person who
- 24:07Speaker 4: got revenge, and you're going to go to jail.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Right. So then she sends a second email titled, Urgent. Okay, SOS. Right.
- 24:17Speaker 3: I need these people killed ASAP.
- 24:20Speaker 4: ASAP.
- 24:22Speaker 2: In the subject line with more detail and more cooperating information.
- 24:26Speaker 2: And I responded to the email, this is Bob talking,
- 24:29Speaker 2: and asked two simple questions. Do you still require services?
- 24:32Speaker 2: And would you like me to put you in contact
- 24:34Speaker 2: with the field operatives? Okay, so you're.
- 24:36Speaker 3: Being hella vague as well. I would still think that
- 24:38Speaker 3: Bob is... Bob, what's your angle? Yeah, what is it?
- 24:43Speaker 3: I need to know. It's so confusing. Okay.
- 24:47Speaker 2: So, I'm confused. So, in quotes, Bob says, I have
- 25:01Speaker 2: all these thoughts going through my head. What am I
- 25:03Speaker 2: getting myself into, Helen? You know, this lady is serious.
- 25:07Speaker 3: I need to go.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Home and start Googling and researching this. So this is
- 25:11Speaker 2: also Bob talking. He's like, what am I getting myself into?
- 25:14Speaker 2: This lady really wants murder to happen. I need to
- 25:16Speaker 2: go home and start Googling and research.
- 25:18Speaker 3: Do you need to Google? I feel like you could
- 25:19Speaker 3: just be like, no, we don't do murders. Yeah.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:23Speaker 3: Thanks for your inquiry. But that's not what we do.
- 25:26Speaker 2: Hey, yeah, we- Like, just shut it down, Bob.
- 25:28Speaker 3: Just shut it down. Bob. Like, Bob is a scammer.
- 25:32Speaker 3: So Bob says, Yeah.
- 25:48Speaker 2: They did a welfare check on the person to make
- 25:50Speaker 2: sure that she was okay. And during the course of
- 25:52Speaker 2: their investigation, they found out that she wanted out of
- 25:54Speaker 2: the UK on extradition warrants for serious charges. So basically,
- 25:59Speaker 2: they did a welfare check on her in Canada and
- 26:01Speaker 2: found out that the UK was like, hey, can you
- 26:04Speaker 2: actually bring Helen back here?
- 26:05Speaker 3: Can y'all drop her off? Because we need to put
- 26:07Speaker 3: her in the clink. Yes. Which makes sense. Helen seems
- 26:10Speaker 3: like a criminal.
- 26:11Speaker 4: Yeah, also, like, staying at a hostel in Canada, like,
- 26:14Speaker 4: that just sounds suspicious.
- 26:15Speaker 3: It sounds suspect. Am I correct?
- 26:18Speaker 4: Yeah. Because it's one thing if you're in a hostel
- 26:20Speaker 4: because you're, like, backpacking, you know, after college. But then
- 26:24Speaker 4: I feel like any other reason to be at a
- 26:25Speaker 4: hostel is just shady.
- 26:27Speaker 3: Right, and she's fully.
- 26:28Speaker 2: There on some shady shit because she was like, I'm
- 26:31Speaker 2: trying to murder my relatives.
- 26:33Speaker 4: Yes.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Which is a lot, especially because, like, okay, you already
- 26:37Speaker 2: didn't get inheritance, so now you got to come out
- 26:39Speaker 2: of pocket on they murders as well?
- 26:40Speaker 3: Like, that's a lot. Yeah, it's, yeah. Yeah, it's bad.
- 26:46Speaker 3: It's bad, bad. Right.
- 26:47Speaker 4: Ellen.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Like, I just don't want to be indebted. Like, I
- 26:50Speaker 3: don't want to go on Experian.com and they're like, girl,
- 26:52Speaker 3: you never paid for these murders and now it's done,
- 26:54Speaker 3: hit your credit. So.
- 26:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the thing. It's like the revenge element. It's
- 27:00Speaker 4: such a huge cost.
- 27:02Speaker 2: Sequoia Financial is calling about these overdue murder bills that.
- 27:06Speaker 3: You need to pay. Like, girl... Oh, my God.
- 27:10Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Think we all prefer not going to jail yeah yeah.
- 27:39Speaker 3: A little little little thing a little quirk about me
- 27:41Speaker 3: and my personality I hate jail it's so weird but
- 27:44Speaker 3: I'm just like not a jail person like I know.
- 27:46Speaker 4: I'm the type of person who doesn't love being behind
- 27:50Speaker 4: bars that's just me that's just a me thing.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Like some people I get it but like for me
- 27:53Speaker 2: it's just like oh you know what I mean.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Yeah yeah I'm weird like that it just doesn't gel
- 27:57Speaker 4: with me but for other people great great for you Right.
- 28:01Speaker 2: So had Wendy been paying attention, she would have noticed
- 28:03Speaker 2: a few red flags that the site was not real.
- 28:05Speaker 2: For example, website's HIPAA compliance badge is on the site.
- 28:08Speaker 3: HIPAA is known as the.
- 28:09Speaker 2: Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. It outlaws
- 28:13Speaker 2: the lawful use and disclosure of protected health information. But
- 28:17Speaker 2: the website actually says, HIPPA stands for Hitman Information Privacy
- 28:22Speaker 2: and Protection of 1964.
- 28:23Speaker 3: So if she had.
- 28:24Speaker 2: Known anything about laws, she would have known there's no
- 28:27Speaker 2: Hitman Protection Act.
- 28:28Speaker 4: No.
- 28:30Speaker 2: The government was never like, when you ask for a hitman, that's.
- 28:32Speaker 3: Between you and your hitman, okay?
- 28:35Speaker 4: Yeah, that is the craziest shit I've ever heard. If
- 28:39Speaker 4: you have pre-existing conditions for wanting to murder, that's between
- 28:43Speaker 4: you and your hitman, okay?
- 28:45Speaker 3: They cannot disclose that.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Yeah, she should have known. So that's not a real thing, obviously.
- 28:51Speaker 2: The website also offered group and senior discounts.
- 28:54Speaker 3: Wow. The early bird special.
- 28:57Speaker 2: If you're trying to kill somebody old, you should get
- 29:01Speaker 2: a discount, though. They're not moving this fast.
- 29:02Speaker 3: That's an easier murder.
- 29:04Speaker 4: Yeah, they're like, we kill them between 4 and 6 p.m.
- 29:08Speaker 4: the same time Luby's has their happy hour or whatever.
- 29:13Speaker 3: Their old person happy hour.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Right after they left the Luby's buffet, we got their ass.
- 29:17Speaker 2: They still had Jell-O on their lips. The green kind.
- 29:23Speaker 3: So Bob said, I really didn't think that people were
- 29:25Speaker 3: going to be that stupid. Boy, did they show me.
- 29:28Speaker 4: Wow.
- 29:30Speaker 2: Bob, he alerted the authorities who placed her under arrest.
- 29:32Speaker 2: She was charged with solicitation to commit murder and illegal
- 29:35Speaker 2: use of a computer to commit a crime and is
- 29:37Speaker 2: currently awaiting trial.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Wow.
- 29:40Speaker 3: Okay.
- 29:42Speaker 2: Guys, if you want to do crime, if you really
- 29:44Speaker 2: feel like it's crime time, Google is not your friend
- 29:47Speaker 2: for this.
- 29:47Speaker 3: Don't Google hit man.
- 29:49Speaker 2: You got to just have friends.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Don't involve your computer at all. That should just be
- 29:53Speaker 4: word of mouth. It's a paper trail. Yeah, you cannot.
- 29:57Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 29:58Speaker 4: Yeah, there's no, there's, if you do anything on the
- 30:00Speaker 4: internet related to your hit, like, it will be found.
- 30:03Speaker 3: Just a hot tip. Right. Just a little secret, guys.
- 30:07Speaker 3: Lean in close. If you want to get a hit, man,
- 30:10Speaker 3: don't Google it.
- 30:12Speaker 4: No.
- 30:12Speaker 3: You can't involve Google. Right. It's like, also, like, you
- 30:15Speaker 3: probably just got to do the hit yourself.
- 30:17Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel like you just have to take this
- 30:19Speaker 4: one into your own hands. If you really, like, there's just, yeah,
- 30:22Speaker 4: you can't outsource your murder. is, I think, the moral
- 30:25Speaker 4: of this story. Like, if you're going to murder, you
- 30:27Speaker 4: just have to suck it up and murder. But I
- 30:30Speaker 4: really hope you just don't murder. But if you really must,
- 30:33Speaker 4: I feel like you have to do it.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Right.
- 30:35Speaker 2: It's like, you can't farm this out. And also, like, murder,
- 30:39Speaker 2: not that tight, guys. Like, not that cool.
- 30:41Speaker 3: No, it's kind of bad. Yeah, guys, we have another
- 30:44Speaker 3: hot take. We're not pro. We're actually against murder. Anti-murder.
- 30:49Speaker 3: We hate jail and we hate murder. But that's just, like,
- 30:52Speaker 3: a little quirk about us.
- 30:53Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just like we're kind of weird like that, guys.
- 30:57Speaker 3: So, you know, don't Google murder.
- 31:00Speaker 2: So today, Bob keeps a spreadsheet of the requests that
- 31:03Speaker 2: he's received, about 350 requests on that spreadsheet. Not all
- 31:06Speaker 2: of them are murder for hire. Some of them are
- 31:08Speaker 2: just people looking for assisted suicide options. Some of them
- 31:11Speaker 2: are clearly hoaxes where they're trying to prank their friend.
- 31:14Speaker 2: And some of them are for people who are seeking employment.
- 31:17Speaker 3: As a hitman. Yeah, I don't. What does that mean?
- 31:20Speaker 3: Seeking employment?
- 31:22Speaker 2: I went on Indeed.com and I was like, I'm a
- 31:25Speaker 2: hit man looking for work. Here's my cover letter. I'm
- 31:29Speaker 2: very proficient in murders. I have great attention to detail.
- 31:33Speaker 2: So said murders will not be discovered. What's a good
- 31:38Speaker 2: resume for a hit man?
- 31:39Speaker 3: Right. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. I don't understand. I don't understand
- 31:43Speaker 3: the employment part. I'm unremarkable. Nobody ever remembers what I
- 31:47Speaker 3: look like.
- 31:47Speaker 2: They're trying to be a hit man that you can rent.
- 31:50Speaker 3: Yeah, they are. I'm confusion.
- 31:53Speaker 2: And so basically out of 350 people, about 10% of
- 31:57Speaker 2: these people are from or these emails are from people
- 31:59Speaker 2: who want to cause harm to someone else. That's actually
- 32:02Speaker 2: pretty low for rentahitman.com. And of those 10%, Bob asked
- 32:06Speaker 2: the same two questions he always does. Do you still
- 32:09Speaker 2: require our services? And would you like me to place
- 32:11Speaker 2: you in contact with a field operative? If he never
- 32:14Speaker 2: hears back from them, he assumes that they figured it out.
- 32:17Speaker 2: The website is still up and available. Can we click
- 32:19Speaker 2: on the rentahitman.com website? I just want to see.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Oh, I got to see. What's happening here. So we're
- 32:24Speaker 3: about to look at rentahitman.com. So pumped. I am so,
- 32:29Speaker 3: my body is ready.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Because I'm just like, how do these people not know? Okay,
- 32:32Speaker 2: so we're at a hitman.com. They got a cookie policy.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It says, your privacy is important to us. In order
- 32:39Speaker 2: to maintain 100% compliance with HIPAA, Hitman Information Privacy and
- 32:44Speaker 2: Protection Act of 1964, we must use.
- 32:47Speaker 3: So it says accept and close. Don't accept that. No,
- 32:50Speaker 3: don't accept. Don't accept.
- 32:52Speaker 2: You gonna have the feds knocking at our door like, hello?
- 32:55Speaker 3: Hello?
- 32:57Speaker 4: This is a very, very, like, lo-fi basic website, and
- 33:02Speaker 4: I'm not surprised.
- 33:04Speaker 3: It definitely is.
- 33:05Speaker 4: There's nothing to zhuzh it up. There's no artwork. It's
- 33:09Speaker 4: just text, and that's exactly what I thought it would be.
- 33:12Speaker 3: Right. They don't got no stock photos of satisfied murder customers. Nope.
- 33:17Speaker 4: Oh, wait.
- 33:17Speaker 3: Here's some photos. Here's some photos.
- 33:18Speaker 4: Oh, okay. Hold on. OK, one says global crisis management
- 33:22Speaker 4: and there's a picture of the globe and then there's
- 33:24Speaker 4: something that service inquiries and it's a man's blurry face,
- 33:27Speaker 4: which is also very suspicious.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Right.
- 33:29Speaker 2: And it's also the kind of man who looks like
- 33:32Speaker 2: he would be in celly or like try to shoot
- 33:35Speaker 2: something up.
- 33:36Speaker 3: Definitely. Oh, here we go. Guido Finelli and family. Growing
- 33:40Speaker 3: list of satisfied clients. Really?
- 33:43Speaker 2: Okay, so Guido Finale, let's pause here. It says, and
- 33:45Speaker 2: family have operated RAH, rent a hitman, continuously since 1920
- 33:49Speaker 2: and have proudly served both public and private sectors.
- 33:54Speaker 3: So they're saying they also do hits for the government?
- 33:56Speaker 3: I mean... This does not look.
- 33:59Speaker 4: Like a government official website in any way. So I
- 34:02Speaker 4: don't know what they mean by that. I mean, the
- 34:04Speaker 4: government websites have been looking pretty jank these days.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Oh, that's true, actually. You're right. They're not great. That's true.
- 34:09Speaker 3: That's true. They don't have great web designers in the government.
- 34:13Speaker 2: It says the RH family is consistently growing every day
- 34:16Speaker 2: to keep up with the global market needs.
- 34:19Speaker 3: For murder? Like, this is all so vague.
- 34:21Speaker 4: Want to join? People across the globe want to murder people.
- 34:26Speaker 3: It's international. Would you believe it? Every country has people
- 34:29Speaker 3: who need to be murdered. Every country has people who
- 34:31Speaker 3: are terrible. Yeah, exactly.
- 34:33Speaker 2: The supply is birth and the demand is murder. It says,
- 34:39Speaker 2: want to join the RAH family? Use our web form
- 34:42Speaker 2: to contact us and be sure to include a portrait
- 34:44Speaker 2: headshot and any list of special skills you may have.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Blood, breath, or urine testing may be required depending on
- 34:51Speaker 3: your geographic locations.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Um....
- 34:56Speaker 2: So if you're a hitman, they basically like you can't
- 34:57Speaker 2: smoke weed.
- 34:58Speaker 3: Like, I don't know what. Also, I don't know.
- 35:01Speaker 4: About you, but just seeing this the this sentence that
- 35:04Speaker 4: says blood, comma, breath or urine, like just that sentence
- 35:08Speaker 4: is so creepy to me, like blood, breath or urine.
- 35:10Speaker 4: I don't know why that I just find that to
- 35:12Speaker 4: be a jarring combination of words.
- 35:15Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just such a bodily sentence. Yeah, I just
- 35:18Speaker 3: am creeped out.
- 35:19Speaker 2: How are you going to test my breath? Like I
- 35:20Speaker 2: breathe into something and mail it to you?
- 35:22Speaker 4: I know.
- 35:23Speaker 3: I was wondering that.
- 35:23Speaker 4: I was like, wait, the other two I get because
- 35:26Speaker 4: there's vials of it.
- 35:27Speaker 3: But breath. Yeah. It's like back to the ghost.
- 35:31Speaker 4: It's just there's nothing there.
- 35:32Speaker 3: It's just an absence of something. Right.
- 35:35Speaker 2: It says RAH guarantees 100% satisfaction or your money back.
- 35:40Speaker 3: Wow. I'm sure. This is such a.
- 35:43Speaker 2: This is a setup site for people who want to
- 35:45Speaker 2: get murders done. It says customer and service industry awards.
- 35:48Speaker 2: I got awards for murder.
- 35:51Speaker 4: Okay, this is so funny. These awards, you guys, they
- 35:54Speaker 4: look like lava lamps.
- 35:55Speaker 3: They do.
- 35:56Speaker 2: These aren't real awards. It looks like a flame. What
- 35:59Speaker 2: is this? It's like lava lamp meets like sperm. It
- 36:03Speaker 2: has like a little tail. I don't understand what is happening.
- 36:06Speaker 2: Those are the craziest looking awards. RAH prides itself on
- 36:10Speaker 2: exceptional customer service and satisfaction. We are proud to be
- 36:14Speaker 2: globally recognized as a leader in our industry.
- 36:18Speaker 3: The murder industry.
- 36:19Speaker 4: I mean, also all of the way they're taught, there's
- 36:23Speaker 4: so much text and they're not saying anything.
- 36:26Speaker 3: Like, you know what I mean? It's like such filler.
- 36:28Speaker 4: There's just no information at all.
- 36:31Speaker 3: This is a troll site because otherwise.
- 36:34Speaker 2: Like if they were really doing the whole clicks thing
- 36:36Speaker 2: that they promised, like there would be something about some
- 36:38Speaker 2: damn clicks.
- 36:39Speaker 3: It says business is booming. Hold on. Go back down, Judith.
- 36:42Speaker 2: It says business is booming and we have a special
- 36:44Speaker 2: group and senior discount packages available.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Packages?
- 36:48Speaker 2: To find out if you qualify, simply submit your service
- 36:50Speaker 2: request form and a field operative will contact you shortly.
- 36:54Speaker 3: Oh, wow. And scroll up.
- 36:55Speaker 2: It says we are still open during the COVID-19. COVID
- 37:00Speaker 2: does not stop murderers.
- 37:03Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Rain or shine, we will do it. Rain, shine,
- 37:06Speaker 3: or pandemic. Right. We got PPE. One breath of urine.
- 37:09Speaker 3: We will do it. We got plenty of PPE for
- 37:12Speaker 3: these murders, okay? Oh, my God. Don't worry.
- 37:15Speaker 2: You're not going to get COVID while we're doing the murders.
- 37:17Speaker 4: What? Oh, God.
- 37:19Speaker 3: Wow. This site is.
- 37:22Speaker 2: go to rentahitman.com. Now, don't accept the cookies because the
- 37:25Speaker 2: government might find you.
- 37:27Speaker 4: It almost makes me think, okay, just really quick, the
- 37:30Speaker 4: fact that the thing that says we are still open
- 37:32Speaker 4: during the COVID, it's like the biggest part of the website.
- 37:34Speaker 4: It's huge to the point where I'm like, do you
- 37:37Speaker 4: have someone who has COVID and that's how they're killing people? Like,
- 37:40Speaker 4: they're going to like, have their COVID friend like go
- 37:43Speaker 4: around someone and then that's how they're going to like
- 37:45Speaker 4: take them down.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Do some strategic coughs, lick up your doorknobs. Exactly. Exactly.
- 37:50Speaker 4: Yeah. It's like, I feel like that's a strategy for them,
- 37:53Speaker 4: for them to even care about the pandemic is surprising
- 37:56Speaker 4: to me.
- 37:56Speaker 2: Also, if you're a website that is like doing like
- 38:01Speaker 2: boosting for other pages and clicks and hits, that's all
- 38:04Speaker 2: done remote.
- 38:04Speaker 3: Whether we were in a pandemic or not. Absolutely.
- 38:07Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:08Speaker 3: Y'all doing in-person stuff? I guess the murders. Yeah, you
- 38:13Speaker 3: can't do Zoom murders. Unfortunately, they do it in person.
- 38:16Speaker 3: They don't work. It's really hard to kill someone over Zoom.
- 38:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't... Bob, you seem a little suspect to me.
- 38:24Speaker 2: I don't know what your motivations are, Bob, but... I'm
- 38:27Speaker 2: not into it. I'm not into you, Bob.
- 38:29Speaker 3: I don't know what you're doing. No, not a Bob fan.
- 38:31Speaker 2: But guys, we're going to take a quick break for
- 38:33Speaker 2: some non-scam, non-hitman advertisements.
- 38:36Speaker 3: And we'll be right back for the end of the show.
- 38:38Speaker 1: Robbery!
- 38:43Speaker 2: Guys, we're back for Scammer of the Week. This is
- 38:45Speaker 2: where we'll highlight one famous charlatan that is worthy of
- 38:48Speaker 2: our praise or not.
- 38:49Speaker 3: We'll figure it out as we go.
- 38:51Speaker 2: This Scammer of the Week this week is a Twitter
- 38:54Speaker 2: famous biker known as at Azusa Gakuyuki. And they're actually
- 39:00Speaker 2: revealed to be a 50-year-old old man using FaceApp on
- 39:03Speaker 2: his phone.
- 39:04Speaker 4: Wow.
- 39:05Speaker 3: Let's get a picture up for Jamie so that she
- 39:08Speaker 3: can see. Definitely need a visual for this one.
- 39:11Speaker 2: This 50-year-old man who actually is very handsome is photoshopping
- 39:15Speaker 2: his face to look like a woman. And he has
- 39:18Speaker 2: really long hair. And he's photoshopping his face to look
- 39:22Speaker 2: like a woman on this bike.
- 39:24Speaker 3: I'm like, okay. And FaceApp is a scam. Yes, yes.
- 39:27Speaker 3: FaceApp is 100% a scam.
- 39:30Speaker 4: Facetune, FaceApp, it's so creepy what you can do to
- 39:34Speaker 4: alter your appearance.
- 39:35Speaker 3: Right. And look, I have the apps. I try not to.
- 39:38Speaker 3: I like to whiten my eyes sometimes if I'm tired.
- 39:40Speaker 3: That's what I do. I whiten teeth and eyes sometimes.
- 39:42Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah.
- 39:43Speaker 3: But you still need to look like yourself.
- 39:45Speaker 2: And like, look, have I gotten drunk and edited a
- 39:47Speaker 2: photo too much and had to delete it?
- 39:49Speaker 3: Absolutely.
- 39:50Speaker 2: But, you know, guys, when you're looking at celebrities on
- 39:53Speaker 2: Insta or you're looking at the Kardashians, you're never really
- 39:55Speaker 2: seeing what they actually look like.
- 39:56Speaker 3: There's so much face app. There's so much filtering. So
- 39:59Speaker 3: that's a scam, too.
- 40:00Speaker 2: Don't think that you need to try to aspire to
- 40:02Speaker 2: look like anybody on Instagram because they don't even look
- 40:04Speaker 2: like that.
- 40:05Speaker 4: Oh, I love calling that a scam. That's like, I
- 40:08Speaker 4: don't know. That brings me comfort to refer to that
- 40:10Speaker 4: as a scam.
- 40:11Speaker 3: It is 100% a scam. It is.
- 40:12Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Because the girls love to be like, oh, I put
- 40:14Speaker 2: on this waist trainer and now I have like the
- 40:17Speaker 2: waist the size of like when you put your index
- 40:19Speaker 2: finger and your thumb together.
- 40:21Speaker 4: You're like, it's a corset. You're wearing a corset. Like
- 40:24Speaker 4: women have fought to not have to wear corsets.
- 40:26Speaker 3: Don't go backwards. Come on, ladies.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Move them bones around for sexy. So she was known
- 40:34Speaker 2: to thousands on Twitter followers as a beautiful biker documenting
- 40:37Speaker 2: her life in Japan until recently when the true identity
- 40:40Speaker 2: of this young woman was revealed. He was exposed on
- 40:42Speaker 2: Monday Late Show, a popular Japanese variety show where hosts
- 40:45Speaker 2: discuss the hottest and wackiest topics across the country. The
- 40:48Speaker 2: production team had apparently tracked the biker down and found,
- 40:51Speaker 2: instead of a bright-eyed young woman, an almost equally bright-eyed
- 40:54Speaker 2: middle-aged man. The unnamed 50-year-old admitted at the show that
- 40:58Speaker 2: he uses FaceApp, the photo editing tool that drastically alters
- 41:01Speaker 2: one's appearance, including their age and gender. He has been
- 41:05Speaker 2: using it to turn himself into a Twitter famous biker
- 41:08Speaker 2: chick and even demonstrated his process on TV. Wow, so
- 41:11Speaker 2: he came out and aired himself out.
- 41:13Speaker 3: Okay.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Wow.
- 41:14Speaker 2: He apparently resorted to this kawaii persona for social media
- 41:18Speaker 2: and popularity. He said if a girl like her existed,
- 41:21Speaker 2: anybody would go crazy for her, right?
- 41:23Speaker 3: Because she's a biker, but she's also hot.
- 41:25Speaker 2: It's like that Megan Fox Ducati wet dream of like
- 41:28Speaker 2: just a hot woman on a nice bicycle or motorcycle.
- 41:34Speaker 3: I ride motorcycles. Clearly, I know a lot about it.
- 41:37Speaker 2: So he altered his face to an unrecognizable degree, but
- 41:41Speaker 2: his glorious golden mane is all his. Even before the
- 41:45Speaker 2: shocking reveal on national television, Twitter users had already pointed
- 41:48Speaker 2: out a suspicious detail in the photo that the biker
- 41:51Speaker 2: tweeted on February 11th. The photo, meant to show off
- 41:54Speaker 2: the back view of the motorcycle, also captured in the
- 41:56Speaker 2: reflection the biker's side mirror. And a man who looked
- 41:59Speaker 2: nothing like the woman in front of the Twitter account.
- 42:02Speaker 3: Oh, my God. He didn't edit his face in the mirror.
- 42:06Speaker 2: So they're like, wait a minute. It's a grown ass
- 42:10Speaker 2: man in the mirror. But then it's like a 20
- 42:12Speaker 2: year old woman in the.
- 42:14Speaker 3: Wow.
- 42:15Speaker 4: I guess what I don't get to is like, what
- 42:18Speaker 4: was the end game for him? Like, did he want
- 42:20Speaker 4: to get endorsement deals and stuff?
- 42:22Speaker 3: Is that like. I'm just trying to understand what he
- 42:25Speaker 3: wanted out of it.
- 42:26Speaker 2: Probably, because on Twitter, if you have viral tweets, people
- 42:30Speaker 2: will DM you and ask you to market stuff on
- 42:32Speaker 2: the tweet, and you can get paid for that.
- 42:34Speaker 4: But he must know after a certain point. You can't
- 42:39Speaker 4: really elevate your career if you can't be in person
- 42:42Speaker 4: for things. So it would only take you so far.
- 42:45Speaker 3: Right. Especially because like, even in the pandemic, you got
- 42:48Speaker 3: to get on Zoom. Exactly. Or like Instagram Live or yeah. Oh, God. Well,
- 42:54Speaker 3: there is a filter degree, like a filter. They have
- 42:57Speaker 3: a couple different filters, I think. That's true.
- 43:00Speaker 2: I guess he could get on there and look like
- 43:02Speaker 2: a wombat or something, some kind of filter.
- 43:05Speaker 4: It would just.
- 43:06Speaker 3: Smooth him out.
- 43:06Speaker 4: It wouldn't like completely alter his face.
- 43:09Speaker 3: I don't think they have that.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Although, honestly, if Zoom continues, someone is definitely going to
- 43:13Speaker 4: like come up with a proper filter pack and it's
- 43:16Speaker 4: going to be really creepy.
- 43:18Speaker 2: I'm going to show up and put on the Oprah
- 43:19Speaker 2: filter and try to get more money.
- 43:21Speaker 3: It's me. I love bread.
- 43:25Speaker 2: All she says is, I love bread.
- 43:27Speaker 3: Is this really Oprah? I feel like it might not
- 43:29Speaker 3: be Oprah. It's just a hunch. She just keeps saying,
- 43:32Speaker 3: I love bread. That's all she does. And Weight Watchers? Yeah,
- 43:37Speaker 3: Weight Watchers. Were you silenced? Or were you silent, you know?
- 43:47Speaker 3: Weight Watchers is definitely a scam, side note. Right. Big time.
- 43:51Speaker 3: But listen, if it works for you, work it, okay?
- 43:54Speaker 3: Of course. Count those points.
- 43:57Speaker 4: I listened to this whole podcast about Weight Watchers and
- 44:00Speaker 4: I was like, oh no, this is like so creepy.
- 44:02Speaker 3: Anyway. It truly is. But you know, weight loss in
- 44:06Speaker 3: general is a scam. It's so hard. Yeah, weight loss is, oh,
- 44:09Speaker 3: everything's a scam.
- 44:09Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 44:10Speaker 3: There's no way to just lose weight quickly and healthily.
- 44:14Speaker 3: The dieting industry fully is a scam. Yeah, and it
- 44:17Speaker 3: all depends on making sure that you have low self-esteem.
- 44:19Speaker 3: You know what I mean? They love to target you
- 44:21Speaker 3: late at night.
- 44:22Speaker 2: You'll see more ads for diet commercials at night because
- 44:25Speaker 2: statistically people who have higher BMIs tend to not sleep
- 44:29Speaker 2: as early. And so once scientists found that out, the
- 44:35Speaker 2: industry was like, oh, okay, then.
- 44:36Speaker 3: We'll run like hydroxy cut and.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Lose somebody with a very large pair of pants that
- 44:41Speaker 2: they probably never, ever wore holding them up in front
- 44:43Speaker 2: of the tiny body.
- 44:45Speaker 3: And the funny thing to me is, is that.
- 44:47Speaker 2: There's so many fat people who are way healthier than
- 44:49Speaker 2: skinny people. A lot of health has to do with genetics.
- 44:52Speaker 2: So you can have low blood pressure, be healthy. But
- 44:55Speaker 2: the whole scam of the diet industry is like, we
- 44:57Speaker 2: have to make you feel like bad.
- 44:59Speaker 3: And like so much of America.
- 45:01Speaker 4: Yeah. And also the scam is that they tell you
- 45:04Speaker 4: that skinny automatically equals healthy, which is 100% not true. Yeah.
- 45:09Speaker 2: And it's bad, too, because it's infiltrated our medical industry
- 45:13Speaker 2: in such a pervasive way that doctors are so discriminatory.
- 45:17Speaker 2: If you're black, if you're fat, if you're a person
- 45:19Speaker 2: of color, if you're a woman. Any of these things,
- 45:23Speaker 2: whenever you go to the doctor, you should always be
- 45:25Speaker 2: seeking a second opinion, especially if there's something that you
- 45:28Speaker 2: need to get done or a surgery because.
- 45:30Speaker 3: Doctors are scammers too.
- 45:32Speaker 2: I have fibroids and I had a doctor, you know,
- 45:34Speaker 2: tell me, one, I had a doctor before that who
- 45:36Speaker 2: was like, we're going to get you into early menopause.
- 45:38Speaker 2: And I was like, I'm 25. I don't want to
- 45:40Speaker 2: go into early menopause. Then later in my 20s, now
- 45:43Speaker 2: I've gone to a doctor who was like, okay, so
- 45:45Speaker 2: we're going to take your uterus out and you'll be
- 45:47Speaker 2: in the hospital for two days.
- 45:49Speaker 3: And I was like, okay, but the fibroid isn't in
- 45:50Speaker 3: my uterus, right? He was like, yeah, no, but I'm
- 45:53Speaker 3: really good at that surgery.
- 45:54Speaker 2: I was like, oh, so you're going to get me
- 45:56Speaker 2: to take my pussy out of surgery because you're good
- 45:58Speaker 2: at it?
- 45:58Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Well, that's not what I need. My
- 46:01Speaker 3: coochie don't need to be on the floor of the OR,
- 46:02Speaker 3: but you're going to do it anyway.
- 46:05Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
- 46:05Speaker 3: My mouth is on the floor. That is so horrifying.
- 46:09Speaker 2: He was like, look, this is what I'm good at
- 46:11Speaker 2: is taking the girls' coochies out. Now, you don't need that.
- 46:14Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't like do the surgery you like doing
- 46:17Speaker 3: because it boosts your ego.
- 46:18Speaker 4: Like that's not how surgery works.
- 46:20Speaker 3: You're like, I'm really good at it.
- 46:22Speaker 2: You're like, no, that's– You're going to have a huge
- 46:25Speaker 2: scar and you're going to have to stay in the hospital.
- 46:27Speaker 3: And you don't need it. I want to be clear.
- 46:29Speaker 3: You don't need it. But I am good at it.
- 46:31Speaker 2: But it would just be really good for me and
- 46:33Speaker 2: my self-esteem. If you let me pull your pussy out
- 46:37Speaker 2: just real quick. I feel like a major big shot
- 46:40Speaker 2: when I do that surgery. So if you don't mind
- 46:42Speaker 2: being a guinea pig for me, that would be great.
- 46:44Speaker 3: Cool. Cool. Cool.
- 46:46Speaker 2: But I honestly understand this man because he's right. A
- 46:50Speaker 2: hot woman on a bike is going to sell better
- 46:52Speaker 2: than like an older man on a bike.
- 46:54Speaker 3: And I get this grift. I really do. So he
- 46:57Speaker 3: was altering his face.
- 46:58Speaker 2: And even before the shocking reveal, people, you know, had
- 47:01Speaker 2: picked up on him being in behind one of the
- 47:04Speaker 2: cameras because they saw the mirror, which I love. The
- 47:06Speaker 2: Internet is so thorough. They will be like, what's that
- 47:08Speaker 2: in the back?
- 47:08Speaker 3: Yes.
- 47:10Speaker 4: I love that sleuth mentality of like, hold on, let
- 47:12Speaker 4: me zoom in.
- 47:13Speaker 3: Oh, my God. The zoom in is people are petty
- 47:17Speaker 3: and I love it.
- 47:18Speaker 2: So, and you know what's funny is, like, before Black
- 47:21Speaker 2: Lady Sketch Show came out and I could talk about it,
- 47:24Speaker 2: it was like, HBO was like, it's a big secret.
- 47:25Speaker 3: Like, you can't talk about it. You can't take photos
- 47:27Speaker 3: in your trailer, all this shit.
- 47:28Speaker 2: And one time I was on Twitter and I was saying, like, Issa, like,
- 47:31Speaker 2: Issa Knife, like, 21 Savage or whatever. And someone noticed
- 47:35Speaker 2: that my phone auto-capitalizes Issa. And so they're like, why
- 47:39Speaker 2: does your phone auto-cap Issa? Do you work with Issa Rae?
- 47:41Speaker 2: And I was like, what the hell?
- 47:43Speaker 3: Whoa. That is really impressive attention to detail. Yeah. Wow.
- 47:48Speaker 3: People pay attention on the internet. I love it.
- 47:51Speaker 2: I mean, at this point, after the Capitol insurrection, the
- 47:54Speaker 2: FBI was like, hey, girls, it's us, the F, the B,
- 47:57Speaker 2: and the I.
- 47:57Speaker 3: Do y'all mind getting on Twitter and finding these girls
- 48:00Speaker 3: who came to the Capitol for us? Y'all don't know
- 48:04Speaker 3: how to do that?
- 48:04Speaker 2: Because y'all definitely killed all the Black civil rights leaders.
- 48:07Speaker 2: Y'all know where to find Fred Hampton. But y'all can't
- 48:09Speaker 2: find these insurrectionists?
- 48:11Speaker 3: I gotta look. Yeah, the worst. But it was actually
- 48:13Speaker 3: very easy to find them. Guys, don't film your crimes.
- 48:16Speaker 3: But if you're a racist, film your crimes. Yeah, keep filming.
- 48:20Speaker 3: We love it. We love that for you.
- 48:21Speaker 2: So the photo meant to show off the back view
- 48:23Speaker 2: of the motorcycle also, you know, captured that reflection. And
- 48:27Speaker 2: someone on Twitter said, you're using a cute phone case,
- 48:30Speaker 2: which basically they're being like, we see you in that side.
- 48:32Speaker 3: Mirror, sis. And like, who is this? Who are you?
- 48:35Speaker 3: So how do you feel about Azusa? Do we like Azusa?
- 48:38Speaker 3: He wasn't harming anybody, you know? Yeah. I mean, it
- 48:43Speaker 3: was pretty benign what he did.
- 48:45Speaker 4: Yeah. It's interesting to me that that's like what he
- 48:49Speaker 4: wants to get attention for is like being a hot
- 48:52Speaker 4: girl on a bike and wanting the life of a
- 48:54Speaker 4: hot girl on a bike. I think that says a
- 48:56Speaker 4: lot about Internet culture and like how we glorify influencers
- 49:01Speaker 4: and Instagram and. Right.
- 49:02Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 49:03Speaker 4: And just being like, that is the new frontier.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Like, if you can make money doing that, you've you've
- 49:07Speaker 3: done it. Right.
- 49:08Speaker 2: And you can make good money doing that. It's a
- 49:09Speaker 2: lot of work to constantly be doing photo shoots and shit.
- 49:12Speaker 2: But like, you know, you can make great money. And like,
- 49:14Speaker 2: it doesn't say here if, you know, Azusa, the real guy,
- 49:17Speaker 2: the 50 year old identifies as this.
- 49:19Speaker 4: Gender.
- 49:20Speaker 3: So I'm not going to put that on him.
- 49:22Speaker 2: But I understand being like, oh, hot girls on Instagram
- 49:25Speaker 2: get more likes and get more attention.
- 49:28Speaker 4: So yeah, no, that's that's more what I was thinking
- 49:31Speaker 4: is just like, yeah, I think that the the thought
- 49:34Speaker 4: behind it actually makes a lot of sense.
- 49:36Speaker 3: And I think it says a lot about our culture. Right.
- 49:39Speaker 3: It really does.
- 49:40Speaker 2: But guys, that brings us to the end of another episode.
- 49:43Speaker 2: And Jamie, we always ask, where do you want to
- 49:46Speaker 2: be found? Where do you want people to find you?
- 49:48Speaker 4: Where do I want to be found? I would love
- 49:50Speaker 4: to be found on Netflix. I have a show called
- 49:53Speaker 4: The Wedding Coach and it drops on April 7th. And
- 49:56Speaker 4: then I also would like to be found on Instagram
