He Used a Kid to Scam Me

He Used a Kid to Scam Me. This scammer on Xbox isn’t anything new. I exposed him last year which sparked quite a controversy. By controversy, I mean questions from other people. In this video, I’ll be adding additional context to this scammer as well as answer additional questions some people had because this scammer is not ordinary. How far is a grown man willing to go for $5? This video pretty much answers that question. Out of all the scammers that we caught on this channel, this one is the one I dislike the most.

I first found this scammer by finding a post on Looking for Groups for GTA, of a player who claimed to be selling a modded Xbox account for GTA. We found out that a kid posted this instead of the usual grown man which was uncommon at the time. When I talked to the kid, he said he wasn’t selling the modded account. His “friend” was selling the account. But the “friend” wasn’t really selling, he was scamming. A modded account for $5 was most likely a scam so I went ahead and investigated to uncover the harsh reality of it.

The “friend” who was a scammer, tricked the kid into thinking he will get a modded account is he finds a buyer. Being a kid and wanting a modded account, he accepted and didn’t know the scammer was a scammer. He thought he was just a friend. It turned out, the scammer only used the kid to scam other people. And looking back, I think he was gonna scam the kid but the kid didn’t have any money for the scammer. So he used the kid to work for him for free by promoting a scam. Promoting a scam could’ve gotten the kid banned and it would’ve been unfair. Though, the Xbox Enforcement team is a bit incompetent when it comes to banning and investigating scams.

I always emphasized how I hated scammers who stole from other people. But found it even more disgusting how a person who should know better would use a kid for it. He used a kid because an adult wouldn’t fall for something like this. And this begged the question, how far would a grown man be willing to go to get $5? There are easier and alternative ways of getting only $5. But you must be really pathetic for using kids to get it. I only caught the scammer once and once is all it took to learn what he was doing. The scammer was never banned and his Xbox account is not active anymore. And I think it’s not active because he preferred to make a new account instead of spending $10 to change his gamertag.
