0:00 have you ever had people get wild and try to intimidate you and then they'll be like I want my ████ car man well everybody that needs a toe is generally in a not so great mood [Music] cuz all right I'm going to tell you guys about a a really uh genius scam but don't do it okay don't even think you invented it huh you wild zany guy dude no it's not me Z Ryan but um it's when I read about this I was actually pretty impressed so um whenever there's areas that have like natural disasters like storms floods Quakes anything that requires like a guy to go out there and immediately help with something like whether it's uh drain the water from a house that's flooded or like move Rubble out of the way or something uh there's people very bad people that they will
0:50 create these fake business listings in those areas localize the contact info for like the vulnerable places and um they'll just make like a fake water damage company and then that way when everybody's super slammed and there's like nobody that can come out they'll like they'll be like yeah I can come out I just got to get a upfront fee so that you know cuz to move you up on the list or whatever wow and nobody ever comes and they just it's pretty crazy how do we get into these businesses it doesn't last very long but there's places that have such seasonal Dependable situations that will always happen that they just do it every year yeah so like worldwide they're watching the news like it's stocks and they go fire Maui here he goes a hurricane uh earthquake in Japan yeah exactly so in Davenport Iowa there's a trend that kind it like this
1:41 scam like leveled up slightly and it's with tow companies yay but I thought you would find this interesting cuz the way they did it is that they would do it at these uh they would uh find these places where they know that the snow is going to be so bad that people are going to need to get their you know like their car cars pulled out or moved out of like ditches or places that are two like oh no so people that actually need help they're calling and they're stranded and they're like we'll come pick you up and then they never ████ show up and then they frozen in the car cuz they didn't do willhoff technique that's like a real toe company anyways never show up what an evil laughter yeah that's evil that's evil I know you think you're the authority because you own a toe company but I'm going to let you know right now every time time I call Tria a they
2:31 always come through they do I work with triple A yeah they're great Tria Triple A is not coming Tria a is sending someone to come they're sending me yeah but then their trucks say AAA on it they own zero tow trucks oh that's ████ man zero tow trucks they contract it's not the triple a tow trucks oh man what they do though is if you don't get there in 35 minutes they will cut your contract bro they send caramel Towing every time they're responsive man I like tripa well whatever they do they make sure that the tow truck guys are in line yeah they do good job cuz what do they do if you ████ up we're not giving you the contract and we're not giving you customers is that what happens that's exactly what happens see that's like the mafia they're big on service if we don't get a 90% uh survey rating or higher they they put us on and then if we don't improve they cut us that cut throw and
3:22 if we if we lose our AAA contract we're we're effed cuz they're the only ones that give you they're a major they bring the business I put it on my Ig story I I called a tow truck to pick my car up and then right when the guy got there the Tria guy his truck broke down and a bigger tow truck had to come get him no way yeah dude there's there's some crazy tow trucks out there and I was like dude what if this chain continues and there's just like a giant ass truck a tank that happened to me when I drove into Big Bear Lake oh no way yeah I was uh tow truck broke so I had a truck his truck is Big it's probably to truck probably showed up was like I can't do this I had a truck trck had a truck like this one but it was black uh and then um so I thought the lake is only where it's wet but apparently Big Bear Lake is just the area so when the water receded I was like oh ████ yeah I'm going to ████
4:13 fly through here I go it looks dry but then all of a sudden it's mud and then my truck sinks all the way down so pretty much if I where I open the the door it'll scrape the top of the mud and when I jump out I go into my knees immediately and then so they bring in it's like quick decided to just get off the road because the the water had receded so you're like ████ it I'm going to cut this way that's the attitude what's the point of having a truck if you can't do that right and then I guess the that was illegal so like the ████ San Bernardino PD they called the tow truck to come and then they they uh had a Jeep like a hooked up Jeep they hooked it up to my truck yeah and then they pulled the winch and then as it was pulling the winch the winch pulled the Jeep into the mud oh so then they had to bring this big ass ████ truck that stays on the road that has these like tripod legs
5:05 that come out so it lifts the wheels off the ground and then he comes and then he hooks onto the Jeep and the Jeep hooks onto my car and then he pulled all of this and then the whole time Gio's just like I told you not to drive in there and look what happened what you say back what' you say back I want to hear that part come on I'm a man I make mistakes so so let me tell you about how they leveled up they've leveled up this scam by instead of making fake companies what they do is they go to these areas uh digitally and they just copy the same exact info from the existing companies and just make hella other listings so people are now confused what's the real number so when they'll like they'll uh let's say that they're calling for Monson towing or whatever in Davenport there's going to be like 16 Monson
5:55 Towing and only one of them is real and the rest of them are just like okay yeah just shoot us this upfront B but the real Monson doesn't even take upfront bees yeah see that's why they need to have a verified check mark next to the and then you got to pay for that you know probably be way too much work for like the actual mons anonio or whatever to like ████ put seas in desist or anything like that for all these other it's like nonstop it just keep why people just got to use Yelp or something cuz a lot of these people that are doing this are not even in the area they may not even be in the they might be like Russian even worse might be Russian even worse bunch of Russians have been moving to Idaho there's actually a lot of Russians in the midwest yeah Anthony yeah that's what I said I literally said a bunch of Russian have been moving Idol bet you didn't know that hey you're a
6:45 man I'm a man we make mistakes so it's a crazy Trend that's kind of happening now in every place that has like these uh little things you might start seeing them any area that has something that needs an immediate response is now getting clone that's so sad people need help and you scam the people that need help well I mean if someone asked me for a deposit I'll be like damn yeah all right I'll give it to you when you come here is that a thing where like let's say you're super slammed right and this guy calls and he's like hey man let me just pay a little bit just put me on top of the list and just get here now would you guys even consider bump me up uh we wouldn't consider it but we get offers for that all the time but we do have people pay before we do the service cuz what happens is sometimes you'll do the service and they be like yeah I ain't paying you bye and you do the service for nothing so we actually do have to take prepayment is that when you use knuckle service yeah he like sir I know
7:36 you're a little short on cash but you seem a little hungry so what happens when someone does that when they when they get you tow their car for them and they're just like I got no money what do you do oh we don't get the uh we we don't we keep the car on the truck until until they pay yes we don't even let the car off the truck have you ever had people get wild and try to intimidate you m and then they'll be like I want my ████ car man well every body that needs a toe is generally in a not so great mood cuz they don't expect to meet it so they're already irritated and so and sometimes like they'll have to wait 3 hours I've had people wait like 3 days on the freeway in an RV you know um before somebody would come and help cuz now um there's less tow trucks there's less tow drivers and so everything's impacted um and then so it used to be 35 minutes for Triple A but in some areas they're waiting 3 hours why is there less did all the Armenians go like to Europe or
8:27 something or um the labor force ID is is down people don't want to work as much anymore everybody want to do everybody wants to do their own thing so everyone's driving door Dash or something now yeah everybody's an Uber driver everybody's doing everybody's trying to be an influencer like entrepreneur entrepreneur yeah dude everybody is there's another like the people that would have done tow truck is like out there doing travel Vlogs or something they're ████ dancing on Tik Tok or they're getting government Aid you know that's probably homeless people a lot of them want to stay homeless because they're getting taken care of they have a cell phone they get a monthly stip in yeah they get a cell phone and then a lot of these homeless people have two cell phones they have their personal and they have one from the government bur phon and they they have internet too I get one of these government phones got to give up your home so they're they're not really incentivized to get off of the street yeah it's tough you know um and so the biggest thing is a lot of people are moving now but it's uh it's it's me it's
9:20 it's it's mental mental issues that are keeping them out there like why do you want to live on the street well I mean if you could choose between driving a tow truck and being yelled at every day or living in a tent with two cell phones I choose the camping imag all the scrolling and you make the same amount of money what a strange Choice yeah Tik Tok Instagram Tik Tok is like dude I'm set there's like another story about this one it was like a big rig truck this happened like yesterday where um it was in the snow and the truck had like Jack knifed or something and it was stuck like perpendicular on the road just blocking the whole road so this guy called the tow truck and the police and nobody came he called I think at 7 oh no he called at 1:00 p.m. and nobody came it was 700 a.m. that he's still there by his truck and then these people who were like commuting they stopped and they went hey man do you need help and the guy's like yeah
10:10 man my truck's stuck I'm trying to call no one's coming and they're like okay hang on those people left they came back with more people and they looted the truck no ████ way yeah oh so s where was this at I forgot what what state this was but that's a Mad Mac ████ dude they looted the truck before they went to work I thought they were going to come back with the tow truck like they Heroes I was like oh no the thieves at that point are you allowed to shoot them all I mean he didn't he didn't do anything he just kind of like I guess he tried to fight them off and then but then they had already jacked hell of ████ and then they they left like once they got stuff I mean these days things are interesting huh people be like stealing and then you if you if you beat them up you get in deeper trouble there a lot of people that are like being good citizens like there was that one guy in the train that held down that homeless man and now
11:01 he's going to go to jail and ████ and then you get fired if you help if you help stop theft the guy who like choked that one dude yeah it was it was in Memphis and it was an Amazon truck oh no oh maybe that's why he's like ah you could steal it I don't care it's Amazon truck how would like save some for me dude if I was a plumber that ████ ████ they're taking my tools and ████ I'd be like hell people steal tools yeah I'll ████ eat a mushroom and beat them up dude but why would you be a plumber if you could just have tent with two phones
