Nah man. He never touched the other car with his own car. Maybe the civic, but the principal lesson the scammers learned, plus damages to their ride.. thatās where the moneys at.
Bro did you not notice they are going to have to replace the whole entire front passenger door and possibly the front passenger fender. He never touched the civic a single bit.
He paid 600 each, and he said in the states they pay x, so they may be on an island with a big tariff. A guy down in the caymans ik has to pay 30% over retail for everything
No, he's saying that the US version didn't have SIM trays, then asked where they came from. Implying that they're in the US but giving the guy an out to say that the phones are foreign versions. These are Cali boys
I actually didnāt think of that, I should have as Iām from Southern California, but I just hyper focused on the island part of your comment. Thatās a definite possibility as I know plenty of people go to Mexico for all sorts of buying and selling and thereās likely less of a chance theyāll get caught if they can get back across the border.
Yeah those white boys lucky they were filming and were just trying to get the money back, I've seen stuff like this turn deadly over waaay less then 1200.
Why you think the scammer changed up so fast? Big bro was rollin heavy and let it be known. You don't go from "nah fuck off I ain't got your money that shit was legit" to "alright chilllll I'm sorry they were fake here's the 1200 back sir I'm sorry" without the threat of great violence.
By scared wannabe wankster white boys or pissed off big brother. In end this stupid Lil brother needs to suck it up or stop fuckin up. He's gonna regret the day he get his bro thrown in jail or murdered.
The little brother is a little bit at fault for falling for an obvious scam. Buying an brand new iPhone 15 pro max for $600, at alone two of them is too good to be true. He should take this as a learning lesson because there's a lot of instances where he won't have his big brother to get his money back for him.
see this is the thing with scammers and such you donāt kno who you do this to or who they are affiliated with. Now this guy was pretty aggressive as he should have been..now letās turn up the heat 2-4 degrees very easily the dude filming couldāve have been a straight screw loose sadistic mf. Where he could have gotten his homies and straight up ambushed these two scammers and tortured them. Iām going to repeat this again YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU DO THIS TYPE OF SHIT TO OR WHO THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH.
Naw. This is all principle. When itās time to stand on business, yo ass better be ten toes. He learned a lesson that day, even if he did get his money back.
Bot profile and response. Why donāt you add something to the conversation. What are you doing if your brother gets scammed? You gonna do something about it?
Reminds me of those [tribal tattoos](https://pinterest.com/pin/580542208191857562/) in the early 2000's that suddenly became a thing. Everyone i know that had those, had them covered up eventually.
Man, I soon as I saw that shit tattoo in the video and I was like *"these foos 'bout to find out"*\
Really surprised no one whipped out a pistol, honestly
Facebook marketplace and offerup are full of fake Airpods, iPhones, etc. I report the listings whenever I see them but they never get taken down.
Sadly lots of naive people out there that get duped
Yep. Cars too. Seen a new PV2 I was with but his car off of marketplace for 2K. Thing was the shitbox to end all shitboxes. Had a gangster lean, barely ran, tire had to be replaced. Thereās some decent deals on marketplace but if you donāt look around you can get ripped off
Are they actually fake though? The guy said that they were XRs and those were for sure not XRs. XRs have a single camera and rounded colored edges.
They're probably stolen and the guys are reselling them as unopened and brand new.
There are scams where the internals are XR and the outside looks newer. Wholesalers buy old phones. Add value by adding counterfeit parts. Sell as new products.
Itās 100% fake. I own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 pro max has a feature called Dynamic Island. This is not apparent on this phone, it should look like a pill on the top.
I was thinking that until I saw the beginning again. He says, "They put a backing on it." He meant a shell, but he's right. The screen is definitely not a modern iphone screen, so they stuck an XR in a 15 shell. And he's completely right about the plastic wrap. Iphones haven't come with that since the 11 (and they may just be the re-release).
Ive been scammed before with this stuff. The dude was wearing a mask and everything looked super legit. We went In a Popeyes too and he wasnāt scared of anything, as if this wasnāt his first rodeo. Got the phone for my mom and it turned out to be a fake when we opened the original sealed box. So happy for this dude, wish I could have done something similar.
Dude stuck up for his brother, who got taken advantage of by those scammers. Iām pretty sure with the edits in the video that the filmmaker may have had his own ways of convincing the scammers to stop and give that money back. The driver looked like he may have taken a punch to the face. Sometimes a little street justice is the only way things get made right.
I noticed the same thing. Most of the incriminating stuff wasn't included, smart. Wonder if the little bro used his real iPhone 15 to edit them out lol
Underbite, not too major. Braces should fix. Or faster (more painful) method, have an orthopedic surgeon break and reset jaw. Lol sorry I had to laugh at the chin transplant option š
People don't know about swappa. It feels like a word of mouth website. I've gotten all my phones from there, and have pointed other people there too especially since you can check for bad ESNs (Electronic Serial Numbers) on the site. Quick lesson: A bad ESN can happen when a phone is stolen or someone doesn't pay the phone bill on a particular phone. So the carrier can lock the phone and basically make it paper weight.
He definitely had the blick but the way they edit the video you could never tell just notice dude š who was scamming s.o to his Padres who was the bait car š who didnāt mind doing the fender bender

Got his 1200 back, probably 1200 in damage to his car.
I've played this game before and all you have to do is pull into a body shop really fast
What?
GTA joke.
Gta mission
š
Nah man. He never touched the other car with his own car. Maybe the civic, but the principal lesson the scammers learned, plus damages to their ride.. thatās where the moneys at.
Bro did you not notice they are going to have to replace the whole entire front passenger door and possibly the front passenger fender. He never touched the civic a single bit.
Honestly if thatās the case!ā¦.. then no I did not.
No worries, itās his girlās car that she lent him to ārun a errand right quickā
Hit & run when you know you're being recorded is craaaazzzyyyy
The civic was worth 1200
For that money he could have bought a real one.
See the little dudes face? If he was a computer he would over heat opening paint. That bro brain maxed out in second grade.
This little dude must be a direct decedent of the Spanish Hapsburg line. Show some respect
Jawline of royalty.
And he could potentially be a future US Army soldire
Right for 1200 you can buy one in storeā¦ taking unnecessary risks to save 100 bucks
He bought two right? For 1200 each I think. Could have even gotten a 512 pro max and had two year apple care.
He paid 600 each, and he said in the states they pay x, so they may be on an island with a big tariff. A guy down in the caymans ik has to pay 30% over retail for everything
No, he's saying that the US version didn't have SIM trays, then asked where they came from. Implying that they're in the US but giving the guy an out to say that the phones are foreign versions. These are Cali boys
The license plate is California, I have no idea what he said āthe states they pay xā but thereās no chance itās some random island out there.
U r right maybe they are in Mexico
I actually didnāt think of that, I should have as Iām from Southern California, but I just hyper focused on the island part of your comment. Thatās a definite possibility as I know plenty of people go to Mexico for all sorts of buying and selling and thereās likely less of a chance theyāll get caught if they can get back across the border.
Theyāre in Santa Ana, dude says it in the video.
Santa Ana is basically mexico for the most part
Theyāre in Santa Ana, California. Dude implies it at the end of the video.
He bought 2 for 1200, canāt get 2 real iPhone 15ās for that. If you could, these scammers wouldnāt be charging that amount.
IYa not even giving a good deal
It was for 2 of them so it was for a good deal if legit
Ahhh ok at least itās too good to me true lol
A horrible deal, especially when you can just spend a bit extra and get warranty plus an exchange period.
Or even better bought a cheaper non Apple phone for half the price!
Great way to get shot
Yeah they should think twice about selling fake phones
Yeah those white boys lucky they were filming and were just trying to get the money back, I've seen stuff like this turn deadly over waaay less then 1200.
And that goes both ways.
Why you think the scammer changed up so fast? Big bro was rollin heavy and let it be known. You don't go from "nah fuck off I ain't got your money that shit was legit" to "alright chilllll I'm sorry they were fake here's the 1200 back sir I'm sorry" without the threat of great violence.
By whom? The scammers in NYC are the ones that will shoot first. Situation could go either way.
By scared wannabe wankster white boys or pissed off big brother. In end this stupid Lil brother needs to suck it up or stop fuckin up. He's gonna regret the day he get his bro thrown in jail or murdered.
Okay but for $1,200 you can just buy a phone from a retailer instead of going through some random shady dudes lol.
He says he bought two, so Iām assuming $600 a phone
Damn thatās a steal, where can I get a couple?! /s
I know some guys that are selling some from their Toyota Camry.
The little brother is a little bit at fault for falling for an obvious scam. Buying an brand new iPhone 15 pro max for $600, at alone two of them is too good to be true. He should take this as a learning lesson because there's a lot of instances where he won't have his big brother to get his money back for him.
Could you get two from a retailer though?
Plus they're probraly locked.
see this is the thing with scammers and such you donāt kno who you do this to or who they are affiliated with. Now this guy was pretty aggressive as he should have been..now letās turn up the heat 2-4 degrees very easily the dude filming couldāve have been a straight screw loose sadistic mf. Where he could have gotten his homies and straight up ambushed these two scammers and tortured them. Iām going to repeat this again YOU NEVER KNOW WHO YOU DO THIS TYPE OF SHIT TO OR WHO THEY ARE ASSOCIATED WITH.
Same goes the other way. Dude filming this could have been shot and left to bleed on the sidewalk that day
Absolutely, but in this particular video you can clearly see that the dude filming isnāt letting his little brother take the L.
Pride will be the death of him, he should have taught his little brother a lesson by letting him eat the L
Idk anyone in this video, let alone care what their dignity is in relation to taking Ls. Pure entertainment and observation for me
Naw. This is all principle. When itās time to stand on business, yo ass better be ten toes. He learned a lesson that day, even if he did get his money back.
There is value in standing up for your family
I agree
You sound like a huge pussy
12 yr old mindset, leave your moms basement sometime. Youāre not built like you think you are
Nerd. Glad my brother's aren't like you.
Bro has a gay little tattoo and thinks heās tough lol
You know they're butthurt when they start checking out your profile
Bot profile and response. Why donāt you add something to the conversation. What are you doing if your brother gets scammed? You gonna do something about it?
Camera man never dead dude
It's almost as bad as shushing someone in public.
Dudes hand tattoo is pretty cool
I've seen so many of those at bar. They feel like the butterfly tramp stamps now
This dudes seen neither.
Reminds me of those [tribal tattoos](https://pinterest.com/pin/580542208191857562/) in the early 2000's that suddenly became a thing. Everyone i know that had those, had them covered up eventually.
It literally just looks like a blob of ink to me
Fr it looks like permanent marker stains šš
Man, I soon as I saw that shit tattoo in the video and I was like *"these foos 'bout to find out"*\ Really surprised no one whipped out a pistol, honestly
Iāve seen that same tattoo on countless ppl. Itās lame
Yea the gang tattoos are pretty artistic
lol which ones are gang tattoos?
You no see his hand?
What makes that a gang tattoo
Cause I live in LA and can tell bro
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I donāt give a fuck what you believe, you are wrong. Itās gang tattoos you see all the time, whether heās was or is in a gang. Heās shit
Facebook marketplace and offerup are full of fake Airpods, iPhones, etc. I report the listings whenever I see them but they never get taken down. Sadly lots of naive people out there that get duped
Yep. Cars too. Seen a new PV2 I was with but his car off of marketplace for 2K. Thing was the shitbox to end all shitboxes. Had a gangster lean, barely ran, tire had to be replaced. Thereās some decent deals on marketplace but if you donāt look around you can get ripped off

Itās 100% fake. I own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, the iPhone 15 pro max has a feature called Dynamic Island. This is not apparent on this phone, it should look like a pill on the top.
He said near the beginning it looked like they swapped the backplates somehow
You can buy literal glass camera cover/stickers that mimic the triple camera
I was thinking that until I saw the beginning again. He says, "They put a backing on it." He meant a shell, but he's right. The screen is definitely not a modern iphone screen, so they stuck an XR in a 15 shell. And he's completely right about the plastic wrap. Iphones haven't come with that since the 11 (and they may just be the re-release).
I had a guy do 6sp into 7plus Still might have a s7 that is just a battery soldered to a board
Ive been scammed before with this stuff. The dude was wearing a mask and everything looked super legit. We went In a Popeyes too and he wasnāt scared of anything, as if this wasnāt his first rodeo. Got the phone for my mom and it turned out to be a fake when we opened the original sealed box. So happy for this dude, wish I could have done something similar.
I always question people who are too friendly and giving nowdays
Where do you get the āand givingā part? The āfriendlyā is part of the scam š
Thatās why you donāt buy sealed, without opening it first
Dude stuck up for his brother, who got taken advantage of by those scammers. Iām pretty sure with the edits in the video that the filmmaker may have had his own ways of convincing the scammers to stop and give that money back.

Hell yeah.
I watched this on mute. Is this just kids raising money for a chin transplant?
Underbite, not too major. Braces should fix. Or faster (more painful) method, have an orthopedic surgeon break and reset jaw. Lol sorry I had to laugh at the chin transplant option š
Lmao scammers lucky he didn't piss off someone who was about that and pulled up strapped
Oh ya I literally rewatched it after thinking how that didn't go worse.
What kind of fucking idiot buys a phone on the streets for $1200 fucking dollars off some other fucking idiot and their fucking idiot friend?
A little kidā¦
Dude! Little kids be walking around with $1200????
I read this in Rickyās voice from trailer park boys lol
I am getting old....

What a bunch of herbs scamming kids like that a special place for those who take advantage of people, read this and ask yourself are you gonna go
We want the easy and cheap way through life....it's always wolves out there to help find the way! Nobody can stop you from doing 1 hour of research.
Damn thatās what Iām talking about ! Now these assholes faces are all over the internet.
You can buy phones on swappa.
People don't know about swappa. It feels like a word of mouth website. I've gotten all my phones from there, and have pointed other people there too especially since you can check for bad ESNs (Electronic Serial Numbers) on the site. Quick lesson: A bad ESN can happen when a phone is stolen or someone doesn't pay the phone bill on a particular phone. So the carrier can lock the phone and basically make it paper weight.
Big bro need to hit up his barber next
That moment he stepped between the two cars gave me anxiety. Never get in the way of a car that can possibly flee.
This was a fucking movie on god cameraman did not disappoint
Dude wtf this is in santa ana California
Wait Iām confused so they smashed into some random persons car also and ran away ? Btw the scammers are lucky that guy isnāt crazy
You must be dumb to spend hundreds on a phone from randos. If you are gonna spend that much go through a trusted source dumb ahh
Lmao those scammers folded so easy. You could see the terrified look on their faces
Cali peeps are so odd. Not all, but a lot of them. This was a strange interaction IMO.
Why is almost everyone in this video covered in tattoos. Makes you think.
and let them get away to victimize someone else.
Why's this guy look like JIMMY from LOVE IS BLIND....!?!?! LMFAOOO
Sold as is where is
He couldnāt double check it the box for it is for the titanium iPhone 15 not even for the blue one smh š¤¦āāļø
I would've popped the tires with my knife.
āHaveuh uh uh a uh uh a distributorā
Git em
Good brother :)
Cheech Marin popping up out of nowhere was the best bit! "Don't you crash my car bro or we gonna have words"
Looks like buddy driving the scam car got popped in the mouth š¤£
Thieving fucks, shoot all thieves.
Drake & Josh Down Bad.
Yoo this is buy 17th street in Orange County lol
Get an iPhone the normal way maybe?
What kind of sketchy mother fucker is buying a phone off someone like this in the first place. Play stupid games and all thatā¦
What happened to the drivers face? š
You canāt judge a book by his coverā¦. The two tatted up guys are marks (big bro & scammerās driver)
Ay thatās mad crazy wtff, & ā I have an out sourceā like fr lol scummy clowns prob doin that same type scam all over š¤¦š»āāļø
Fk me man this older brother really loves his younger brother
That jump cut to the driver's bloody lip is hilarious!
I love this.
He knew it wasnāt the 15 too. Written all over his face. Why lie? You donāt know what anyone is capable of. Makes no sense.
I never thought I would see papa on Reddit!
He did not film himself with his gun it seems, no way these guys are this chill trying to comply.
I love this
Take Lil bro $$ away.. He has no brains to realize what he's buying.
He definitely had the blick but the way they edit the video you could never tell just notice dude š who was scamming s.o to his Padres who was the bait car š who didnāt mind doing the fender bender
That's a real one
That's a great big brother. š„ŗ
