So one day in 2020, Pierogi, I guess he gets an email or like a pop-up ad or something telling him that he's owed a refund of $500 from Amazon.

And of course, he knows this is a total scam and he is not going to let this slide.

He's going to try and bust the people who did it.

And Ben claims he's the senior manager in charge of getting her the refund, but in reality, he's just another scumbag scammer.

And now that he has convinced this poor elderly woman that she's made a typo, he starts to manipulate her by telling her that he knows that she's an honest person and he basically says that he knows she'll return the extra money to them.
