Scammers can then get access to your social media accounts, bank accounts and more AT&T Employee “I work at AT&T and over the last couple days, I've witnessed multiple malicious port-outs, which means that a scammer has tricked your cell phone carrier into allowing them to port your number over into a device that they control, which in turn lets them do the two-factor authentication Allowing them into your bank account, your email, your social media. A way to prevent this from happening, and this isn't just for AT&T, this is for any cell phone carrier that you have. Most of them have a port-out protection that you should turn on because this has been happening quite a bit lately. So just letting you know” Again this could happen on any cell phone carrier you have. I researched and found port-out protection is a free feature offered by major U.S. carriers, including T-Mobile, Metro, and others ]]> Sun 03 May 2026 19:04:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1615038/a-new-scam-is-taking-place-in-america-that-allows-scammers-to-get-your-phone-number-t/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614884/a-woman-spots-a-card-skimmer-on-the-register-with-a-fake-keypad-hidden-underneath-the/

This woman parked her car over the line. The man parked in the parking spot next to her, however he had to park close to her to be in his lines perfectly. When the man came back he saw the woman taking pictures of his car, claiming he hit it and scratched her car. The problem is the damage is higher than his car and there is no damage on his car, the paint transfer doesn’t match the color of his car. ]]> Tue 28 Apr 2026 15:05:11 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614787/he-should-have-called-the-cops-and-reported-her-scam/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614572/woman-proves-amazon-is-robbing-you/
The more you look at the price of items, the more the price increases (just like airline tickets were caught doing) She has 2 items she was looking at last night, she left the screen open In the morning she clicks refresh. The price updates and now the same items cost 28% more There were no ending sales to account for the change. This is just a system jacking up prices because you showed interest ]]> Thu 23 Apr 2026 20:53:06 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614572/woman-proves-amazon-is-robbing-you/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614522/wendy-s-employee-reveals-how-they-make-their-popular-strawberry-lemonade/

They say they have been scammed out of thousands, complain about huge queues for showers and overpriced food. “Getting inside the festival is a nightmare.” “Our original $20,000 reservation we only get $10k back.” “Scammed out of $3k.” ]]> Tue 14 Apr 2026 15:46:03 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1614122/influencers-turn-on-nightmare-coachella/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611945/a-scammer-walks-into-a-bagel-shop-and-orders-a-bagel/
He hands the clerk a $50 and asks for change. Mid-transaction he says, “Actually I have a $5 — can I get my $50 back?” She returns it. Seconds later he pulls out a $1 bill claiming that’s what she gave him and demands the real $50. The goal isn’t the bagel… it’s to overwhelm the cashier until they doubt their own memory. These scams don’t rely on force — they rely on pressure, speed, and human hesitation. When someone controls the conversation, they try to control reality. Should businesses train employees to immediately stop transactions when money changes hands repeatedly — even if it risks upsetting a customer? ]]> Wed 25 Feb 2026 16:34:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611945/a-scammer-walks-into-a-bagel-shop-and-orders-a-bagel/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611123/scammers-get-scammed-by-a-hacker-who-exposed-fake-call-center/
A team of Filipino fraudsters got a brutal reality check when a YouTube vigilante hacked their call center live, hijacking cameras, renaming accounts, and sending their boss into full meltdown mode. ]]> Tue 10 Feb 2026 16:21:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1611123/scammers-get-scammed-by-a-hacker-who-exposed-fake-call-center/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609966/u-haul-figured-out-how-to-charge-you-twice-for-the-same-truck/
A guy walking past a U-Haul lot for over a year finally realizes what he’s actually looking at. When U-Haul retires an old moving truck, they don’t just scrap it. They sell the cab and chassis, remove the cargo box, and then line those same boxes up at their facilities and rent them back out as storage units. The exact metal box you once paid to move your stuff in becomes the thing you later pay monthly to store your stuff inside. It’s the same asset, reused instead of wasted. Paid for once, monetized again. From a business standpoint, it’s efficient, sustainable, and incredibly smart. From a customer perspective, it feels like realizing you’ve been walking past the answer in plain sight the entire time. Nothing hidden. Nothing illegal. Just a strategy most people never stopped to question. ]]> Mon 19 Jan 2026 15:01:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609966/u-haul-figured-out-how-to-charge-you-twice-for-the-same-truck/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609697/this-american-s-mom-just-died-and-was-going-through-her-paperwork/

90% of small businesses fail yet the Samara Adult Day Care still has their lights on without having 1 customer seemingly. Salama Adult Day Care in Minneapolis says online that they “provide care and support services for adults in need of supervision and assistance during the day. The center offers a safe and welcoming environment where individuals can engage in various activities and socialize with others. With a focus on promoting independence and well-being, Salama Adult Daycare C aims to enhance the quality of life for its participants through personalized care plans and meaningful interactions. The center strives to create a nurturing and inclusive community for adults seeking daytime care and companionship.” Soooo even though their business is meant to provide a safe place, the woman there told me they feed them breakfast and lunch that they can take home?? They close at 3pm and yet she said she was waiting for the seniors to arrive at 2:30… No signage outside, no seniors, supposedly only operating after their operating hours, no English, no pictures allowed, old furniture… Even if this was a real business HOW ON EARTH WOULD THEY STAY AFOAT WITHOUT CUSTOMERS?! ]]> Mon 05 Jan 2026 19:28:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1609076/salama-adult-day-care-in-minneapolis-is-one-giant-scam/ https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1608895/another-somali-daycare-was-very-angry-to-see-a-journalist/
