EARLY ACCESS: The dumbest scammers of 2018
Added 2018-12-29 00:57:44 +0000 UTCI promised a new version of 'dumbest scammers', so here it is! Early access for my $3+ Patrons. Enjoy!
Once again, thank you all for your continued support on Patreon.
I'm looking closely at how Patreon are kicking out certain creators despite not breaking Patreon's Ts&Cs - It's a worrying trend and I may seek out alternatives. It would be a pain to move, but I'm alarmed at Patreon's lack of principle on this matter. I've lost Patrons as a result and I completely sympathize even though it means I lose money personally.

Mothersheet!

2019-11-14 19:29:25 +0000 UTCMy husband is jealous because the most common remark I make watching your video's at the "Gotcha" moments is that I just love you...lol
2019-11-14 19:23:10 +0000 UTCHilarious! Especially as when I visited India half the TukTuk drivers in Delhi seemed to be United fans lol
2019-08-12 20:06:43 +0000 UTCIt's always satisfying to know where you're getting under a scammer's skin. :)

2019-02-01 11:52:26 +0000 UTCI love how calm you are while they're getting flustered LOL
2019-02-01 07:11:12 +0000 UTCThank you Steve. It really does mean a lot especially when you have limited means. Honestly - thank you for your support.

2019-01-10 13:32:55 +0000 UTCI just signed up for the Silver plan-wish I could do more only have social security for income. I got scammed a few months ago for $299.99 which was devistating. Much appreciate your efforts in combatting the scammer criminals and what a good job you do producing your vidieos which must take countless hours
2019-01-10 12:34:15 +0000 UTCHappy New Year Jim. I look forward to supporting you using whatever funding alternative you choose. In the meantime, I'll continue support on Patreon until you find an alternative but ultimately my support on Patreon for all creators will end permanently this month.
2019-01-02 19:00:47 +0000 UTCHappy New Year Jim. Unfortunately I have decided to not support Patreon due to actions they have taken recently. It kills me that my decision will affect you, and other creators, in a small way. If there is another way to support, please let me know....maybe a anti virus subscription service from your Indian call centre?..all the best, I’ll keep following on ewetube.
2019-01-01 21:58:02 +0000 UTCThanks for another year of great content.
2018-12-30 14:53:27 +0000 UTCWith no rewards. Also Paypal has banned accounts and are now telling Patreon' competitor SubscribeStar, to stop using them. So no.
2018-12-29 20:09:48 +0000 UTCI took a mothersheet, after I ate all that turkey. Worth it though.
2018-12-29 20:04:24 +0000 UTCJust really well done, Jim. All viewers should be Patreons of yours. We owe it to him to keep up the good work.
2018-12-29 19:37:00 +0000 UTCPayPal.me, super easy way to set up recurring direct payments.
2018-12-29 17:29:45 +0000 UTCMothersheet.... sounds like something you have to deal with when going home for Christmas... having to put up with... sheet... from your mother.... Well I thankfully don't, but I know there are plenty of families where not everyone gets along. So they have to deal with... mothersheet among other things. Good God, the thought that people fall for this stuff is... just scary.
2018-12-29 06:51:55 +0000 UTCAnnual 2018 dumbest scammers award? xD xD What did we learn this year? Scammers from Manchester hate football... the mothersheet is part of the motherboard... you can secure a computer with just a few lines of a batch file which echo statements saying it's safe... and TechYogi were that cheap in making their advertisment video they didn't even pay the $29 for one months worth of the premium biteable service to remove the watermark and make it look 'professional'. Oh, and Jim makes more honest advertising videos than they do :-P On another note, I'm glad you mentioned the ongoing Patreon, PayPal and SubscribeStar debacle Jim. I'm sorry to say I'll be cancelling my pledge/closing my Patreon account, as I will not support a service with such lack of integrity and transparency (as I have been following this all the way through since this latest incident occured). I just wish I could move away from PayPal also, as I suspect the issue is more systemic and not just limited to Patreon. I hope to be able to throw some money your way in the future, via a different platform or more directly, if possible in the future.
2018-12-29 04:27:19 +0000 UTCmothersheet had me laughing out loud.
2018-12-29 03:37:41 +0000 UTCLOL The real "brain" of the computer is the CPU!!! Also, the whole mothersheet thing is hilarious!
