When Snitching on Yourself on Instagram Goes Wrong!

Who are some of the most heartless criminals who dont care about any of their crimes? Lets get into it, starting with: 6 - Big Rig Ponzi Rapper BigRigBaby and his business partner allegedly ran a Ponzi scheme to raise millions of dollars from investors in a fake company. BigRigBaby, whose real name is Patrick Earl Williams- a name he should stick with, since his stage name sounds like

hes a giant baby semi-truck-, and his partner, Rolf Max Hirschman, promised high returns on investments for people that invested in their company, WeedGenics. Thinking their money would go toward funding growing facilities in California and Nevada, investors contributed millions of dollars, expecting returns as high as 36 percent. In true Ponzi style, Williams and Hirschman used new investor cash to pay other investors, creating the illusion that the

business venture was generating revenue. WeedGenics Williams kept $8 million in investors' funds, from which he spent $625,000 on dining, adult entertainment, jewelry, and other luxury items. He also used the funds to promote his music career, putting it towards paying producers, iHeartMedia, and DJs. He transferred roughly 1.9 million dollars of investor money into his personal bank accounts. Hirschman used the name 'Max Bergman' when communicating with investors.

He received approximately $15.6 million in investor funds and, like Williams, made many extravagant purchases. Hirschman spent almost $5 million on real estate and $2.4 million on luxury cars. He additionally put $3.2 million toward credit card payments and withdrew $913,000 in cash. False Claims It was easy for investors to believe that everything was legitimate. The website claimed to have a 52,000-square-foot campus in Las Vegas and was

building a new growing facility in California. However, a complaint from the SEC revealed the company was a sham. The filing accused Williams and Hirschman of lying about the existence of an actual company, falsifying its venue, and using investor funds for their own gain rather than for their purported business. The pair also allegedly lied about having the necessary licenses and permits to open the cultivation facility in

California. They showed investors fake financials, locations, and photographs of their facilities. According to the complaint, Williams and Hirschman hid their money in multiple companies in order to not raise any suspicions. They created 16 organizations, most of which were LLCs, to move and transfer funds. In total, Big Rig Baby and his partner scammed investors out of $62 million. 5 - Kidnapped Claims Charlene Carasco told her ex-boyfriend

that a felon kidnapped her so that he would send her money. Carasco, who lived in Nottingham, England, repeatedly called her ex-boyfriend, begging him to send cash as her kidnapper would only release her once he had the ransom. The pair met online in 2011 and soon developed an in-person relationship where they would meet weekly. Although they split in August 2013, they stayed friends. In 2014, Carasco started

asking her ex-boyfriend for money, requesting small sums of $10-$20 to help her pay bills and buy groceries. But in January of 2015, Carasco contacted him again, saying she owed a lot of money to a gangster who was holding her against her will. Carasco claimed the kidnapper locked her in a car and was taking her to an ATM to see if the money was in her account.

Ransoms Carascos ex-boyfriend, trying to be a good guy, transferred $880 into her account and then an extra $378. The kidnapper apparently had an oddly specific amount in mind. Anyway, Carasco called him the next day to say the alleged gangster had injured her. Carasco claimed the only way to get him to stop was if her ex-boyfriend transferred more money. So he sent an additional $378- seriously, why

that amount?- and contacted the police. When law enforcement arrived at her home, Carasco acted confused and claimed she had no idea why her ex would have reported a kidnapping. Although she made it seem like her ex was lying when he spoke to the police, ten days later, Carasco contacted him again. This time, she said that her wallet and bank card were stolen by a man named

Sean, who demanded $1890- sticking with his weirdly specific amounts- before he would give her her things back. The best ex on the planet then received WhatsApp messages from Sean, who threatened to physically hurt Carasco if he didnt get the money. Further, Sean said that he would sell Carasco to a man who would do unspeakable things to her. Like making her listen to BigRigBabys music. Sean then

told the ex to send the money, and if he went to the police, it would make things much worse for Carasco. The ex-boyfriend called Carasco, who cried but insisted she would be okay if he sent the money. He sent over another $389 and afterward called the police again. Authorities deployed multiple officers to find the alleged hostage, eventually locating her at her family home. Arrest They arrested

Carasco after discovering that she lied about the kidnappings. She pleaded guilty to blackmail and fraud and was sentenced to 12 months in jail. You would think alarm bells would be going off when someones demanding a ransom of only $378. Like, normally the ransom is much higher, but he was having a blow out sale on prisoners, its the end of the quarter, and hey, hes got a

boss too, ya know? Gotta hit those numbers. And wouldnt you be mildly offended on some level that he really didnt think he could get much more for you than $1000? Like, hes looking at you and thinking, Well, if I go too high, this guy isnt going to pay it . Well start really low and go from there. Yes, we know its fake, but still 4 -

Scamming Immigrants Norma Ferrer scammed money out of undocumented immigrants with pending cases. Immigration attorney Martin Lester, of Lester Law Firm, received a phone call from a woman who claimed to be a client, and wanted to know what was happening with her case. Her name was unfamiliar to Lester, who searched through his computer to find a record of the callers case. After discussing the situation with other

attorneys, he learned that a scammer had targeted a group of people Lester was trying to help. A woman named Norma Ferrer had been telling undocumented immigrants that she was working with various attorneys in the area. She said that if they paid her, she would coordinate everything that needed to happen for them to win their cases. Ferrers Multiservices Norma called her company Ferrers Multiservices and posted ads

on Facebook, written in Spanish, offering various services like immigration help and tax filings. The ad also included translation services for appointments with lawyers, hospital visits, and court cases. Ferrer also forged documents, including a contract with Lester Law Firms logo. The phone call to Lester resulted in her indictment. Ferrers lawyer required concrete evidence, saying the defense started their own investigation into the case and found discrepancies. However,

the prosecution highlighted that, if found guilty, Ferrer would have denied undocumented immigrants the opportunity to live legally in the United States. 3 - Paying For Employment Leah Wilson, a single Australian mother of three, lost thousands of dollars in an employment scam. Wilson was a victim of the September 2022 Optus data breach, where hackers stole her personal information. Less than a year later, it happened again. Wilson

applied for jobs online, using Tradewind Australia, a legitimate employment agency. Shortly after, Wilson received a text saying she had secured a part-time job. False Agency The scammers asked for her phone number and requested she follow a few links and fill out forms to complete the onboarding process. During the chat, she sent over personal information, such as her bank account details. Instead of starting her new job

and making money, scammers stole $40,000 from her bank account. $34,000 of that money came from a GoFundMe she used to raise funds for her daughters medical bills. Wilson's daughters suffered from mental health conditions and eating disorders, and shed already remortgaged her home three times to cover their current medical bills. She also worked three jobs to make ends meet. In 2022, cyber criminals took her drivers license

details to hack her government account and create fake tax returns in her name. Tradewind Australia confirmed 100 people reported similar scams from people impersonating the company. The website added a notice warning job applicants about the scheme. 2 - Going Undercover Scammers stole a 91-year-old widows life savings by convincing her she was helping track down fraudsters. A fake police officer named Andrew William contacted the great grandmother,

Margaret- whose last name has been kept private- on behalf of the Australian Federal Police to inform her that someone was trying to steal her money. The scammer then convinced Margaret to transfer her savings to another bank so the AFP could track the hackers. The scammers told her she couldnt tell family or friends, which could compromise the police operation. According to William, people were losing large sums

of money to hackers, and some banks handled it better than others. William reached out to the great-grandmother almost daily with instructions to transfer money into Australian and overseas accounts. Withdrawals Since Margaret didnt bank online, she had to go to the bank each time physically. As a longtime customer of the Bank of Queensland, staff grew concerned about the large withdrawals. One of the employees tried to indirectly

ask if Margaret could have fallen victim to a scam, stating that she could be transferring cash to a fraudulent bank. Since William threatened that she could lose her money if she spoke to anyone about the operation, Margaret stayed quiet. William had told her that if anyone wanted to know why she was moving so much cash around that she should give a benign excuse like buying a

new car or doing home renovations. In total, Margaret transferred $399,270 under Williams instruction. Margaret finally realized she was scammed when she tried to withdraw money from one of her new accounts, only to find that the money was gone. Unfortunately, scams impersonating the AFP are common and on the rise. Representatives for the police highlighted that the AFP would never call and ask people to transfer money or

send it to new bank accounts. Having lost her life savings, Margaret had to sell the home her son built for her and her late husband.

- Jailed For Life Hakan Aysal pushed his pregnant wife off a cliff while taking a selfie so that he could collect her life insurance. Aysals wife, Semra, was seven months pregnant when he insisted they take a picture on the side of a cliff. Although she was frightened of heights, he lured her to the edge of the 1,000-foot drop and shoved her. Soon after her passing, he

attempted to collect a $50,000 life insurance payout, alerting police to the suspicious circumstances surrounding Semras passing. In court, Aysal attempted to deny his role in the accident, and after the jury found him guilty, he tried to appeal on the basis of insanity. He quickly dropped the appeal after medics dismissed the claims. In his version of events, he claimed that Semra put her phone in her bag

after they took the photo. A few minutes later, she asked him to grab her phone. As he walked a few steps away, he heard her scream. When he turned around, she was gone. Falling Out However, there were witnesses. Several other people were at the cliffside that day and took pictures and videos of the view. They noticed that Aysal was eerily calm after the future mother of

his child fell. He waved down a driver and said that his wife had fallen. The driver got out of the car and helped him look for her, but they couldnt tell where she landed. While people tried to get closer to the edge to get a better look, Aysal didnt seem all that interested in helping. Aysal appeared carefree as they waited for rescue workers to arrive and

showed no emotion when the rescue crew found his deceased wife. His nonchalance continued when he went with Semras devastated family to collect the body. While the rest of the family was shocked and grieving, Aysal didnt even seem sad. Loans Her family was confused when they learned Semra had taken out loans, as she was always against doing so, and realized that Aysal took them out on her

A jury saw through Aysals lies and found him guilty. He was sentenced to life in prison. Click to watch one of these next videos! Let us know in the comment section whether or not you think its a red flag if the owner or founder of a company wears flashy jewelry or a flashy car!
