TikTok comedian goes viral by \u201cscamming scammers\u201d before reporting them to police YouthPastorRyan \/ TikTokPopular TikToker YouthPastorRyan has found a new way of using his master\u2019s degree, as his new TikTok series sees him scamming scammers before turning them into the authorities. Over the last few years, YouthPastorRyan, whose real name is Ryan Kelly, has gained a sizable following on TikTok of 4.9 million fans thanks to his stories about working at Disney, comedy skits, and collaborations with other creators. But Ryan, who has a master\u2019s degree in homeland security, recently started a new series on his platform where he talks through his process of \u201cscamming the scammers\u201d. In the first video in the series, Ryan showed an email he\u2019d gotten that asked him to invest money into a company. With Gmail flagging the email as \u201cseeming dangerous\u201d, Ryan said: \u201cI don\u2019t wanna seem paranoid, but something with this email just seem a little suspicious. Turns out they want me to sign up for an account and invest some money with them, but also create a video so that I can help other people get into the scam.\u201d The rest of the video shows Ryan gaining the trust of the scammers, before tricking them with fake links to get their IP address and location. He also did send them a video. Since he was fairly certain the scammers didn\u2019t speak English, Ryan took to his comedic talents to make a satiric video about the \u201ccompany\u201d behind the scam, just talking about all of the sketchy things about the company \u2013 but with a sarcastic tone. Ryan Kelly gets revenge on a scammer that scammed another TikToker In a recent video in the scammer series, Ryan replies to a video by TikTok user Kouvr who revealed how she\u2019d been scammed for money after thinking she was getting a dog. In response, Ryan contacted the same dog scammer to express interest in a dog named Milo \u2013 the same dog as Kouvr was interested in. As the scammers requested money for Milo, Ryan sent them a fake CashApp link which allowed him to get the scammer\u2019s IP address and location, and find out what platform and device they were using. \u201cUnless you were expecting your dog to come from Douala, Cameroon, it\u2019s not happening. However I wake up every day wanting puppies and vengeance, and thanks to this person, I\u2019m all out of puppies, so let\u2019s do it,\u201d Ryan said. He then went on to explain how he managed to get more information about the scammer to then use to monitor the account as well as delete all emails which referred to Milo in the hopes of preventing more people from getting scammed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
