Hey, it’s Dan. Welcome back. You’re watching I allegedly and got a good one for you today. I’m out in Alamedos Bay walking amongst the boats, everybody’s working on their boat over there. It’s kind of nice. And man, oh, man, you ever had money put into your account that you weren’t supposed to get? A couple of great stories today. Please, as always, like these videos and subscribe to the channel.

Plus, guys, you better be on the email list because we just announced our big Christmas giveaway. And if you are on the list, check your spam filter. And today we are sponsored by Patriot Gold. And I’ll talk about them a little later, but first things first, hesfa Abadula lives in Malaysia, set up a bank account and went to go check her balance. And she had $86 million put into her account by mistake.

And she was very light hearted about it, thought it was funny. Made a LinkedIn post on it and said, hey, I guess I won the lottery. It’s nice. And the story, you can read it below. Out of the New York Post. It talks about other people that have had this happen to them. And I have a family member who had $23,000 put in their account by mistake one day.

I had it happen once that I made a deposit on a Friday when I was dead broke years ago and went to go use the ATM and couldn’t use it and made online purchases and things like that. And then got hit with all these fees and my deposit wasn’t posted. They put it in somebody else’s account and it took a couple of months to get that back. But this led me to other great stories with this Aleene Spadani.

This woman was a sheriff’s dispatcher who went out and she had $1. 7 million put into her account and she went to town. This was a very famous case where she went and bought herself a new car, family members, things, jewelry, transferred the money. Most of these people that do this transfer the money to a different account. So they tried to take it out of her account through Charles Schwab and there was no money in the account.

So sorry, going to have to find someplace else to collect that from. They end up having to sue her to get the money back. And it took years to get it back. And they ended car getting cars and having to sell cars and things like that so they could settle the case. But this woman spent the money like it was going out of style, which is fantastic. I mean, great story.

It’s also a story in Southern California. Do you remember First Interstate Bank, if you were in California, they had the most ridiculous thing in their branches, which was a kiosk for quick deposits. You want to make a quick deposit, all you have to do is leave your deposit slip here and drop it into this band and punch in what the deposit number is, and it would print you out a receipt saying, we’re going to make a deposit.

And basically, it was just like a memo that you could like, hey, on the 19th, I walked in and I put a check in wells Fargo excuse me. First Interstate Bank sent out these letters that said, wouldn’t you like to get $92,348? And all you have to do is fill out this loan application and this check is as good as yours? Well, one young kid decided he put it through that little automated teller thing in the branch.

And again, somebody that night then credited this guy’s account with $92,000. What did he do? Transferred the money to a different bank. And then he went on a publicity tour and said, I just want to thank Wells I keep saying that. I want to thank First Interstate Bank for giving me 92 grand. It was kind of funny because he made the local news, and they were furious, of course, and they ended up having to sue him and no, you gave me a check.

Look, doesn’t say it’s a loan. And it looked kind of like a check. So anyways, he ended up losing, but they gave him a settlement. They gave him an undisclosed figure, so Gosh knows what he got. And then another one, the most famous one, is the Hotura Family, where they got $5 million from an overdraft in New Zealand and spent it like crazy and transferred the money. And when they went to try to collect it, they were like, there was no money.

Okay. Because, of course, he spent it and traveled. And then what did he do? Stupidly. Went back to New Zealand and then they arrested him. Okay, so have you ever had money put in your account that you weren’t supposed to get? Has that ever happened? Because it’s crazy that these people got this money and the $86 million. She was actually light hearted about it. Read the stories below, but let me know if you’ve ever had anything like that happen, because, again, it’s not your money.

And the lady, the Alene Spadani, that was the one. You can read that story, too, because it’s below talking about how just because this happens, you have to know where it came from, and you have an obligation to pay it back if it’s not yours. So share your thoughts on all that. Let’s talk about our sponsor, patriot Gold Group. With all of the instability in the world, and with our national debt soaring to $34 trillion, we are seeing one thing happen that is not a surprise, and that is gold.

Prices are shooting up like we’ve never seen before. Gold is at an all time high.

Here’s a couple of great real estate stories for you. First one is blackstone. We’ve talked about Blackstone quite a bit, and how they have the world’s largest commercial real estate trust, and it’s for wealthy individuals, peasants like you and I shouldn’t apply for good reason. You wouldn’t want to be part of this, because now, for the 13th consecutive month, they have limited withdrawals out of the fund, and they’re trying to make it sound like it’s no big deal.

But again, commercial real estate is completely upside down, and the rich people cannot get their money out of the real estate trust. So the Blackstone Real Estate Trust. But listen, last year we had $1. 6 billion leave, and in the last quarter, we did everything we could to meet our obligations, but they are making it so that people cannot take money out. That’s serious. Guys, the Chrysler Building in New York is owned 50% by Cigna.

Okay? They just filed for bankruptcy in Vienna. Cigna did. Wait a second. What’s that due to the building? Well, the building’s in trouble, guys. Cigna’s got $26 billion in assets and can’t pay its bills right now. Oh, that’s serious. Okay, what do you do? Well, guys, again, what do you do? Now, another real estate story is Jeff Bezos. His investment fund, which is called Arrived. And Arrived buys single family houses that you and I can invest in.

You can put as little as $100 into it, and they’re expanding this, and they’re going to have more people involved in this, these fractional ownership deals. How does that sound to you? Does it sound great sharing a house with somebody else or owning part of it right now with 14 other people? But if you want to put as little as $100 into that, you can get involved in these investment trusts, which I think is absolutely lunacy.

Another thing is that more banking problems. You have a man that lives in Hawaii that has a Chase Bank account, and they froze his account, and he tried to call customer service, and they said, no, we can’t help you over the phone. You have to visit a branch physically. Well, wait a second. I live in Hawaii, and they have no physical branches on the islands at all. They have ATMs here.

That’s it. Okay, well, if you want to resolve your $200,000 banking problem, you need to go to a physical branch. So he had to fly 2400 miles to go to Los Angeles, which is the closest branch to him, which is crazy, but that’s what he had to do to resolve that. Once again, the banks aren’t there for us guys. This is an absolute mess. I had someone reach out yesterday and say orange County’s Credit Union, which is the name of it, is down and the banking is down.

And I reached out to the company today and I have an account there and you know, do you guys get hacked? And they said, no, we just had maintenance. Well, I got a question for you. Did you issue an email? No. The maintenance they thought was going to be 30 minutes and it turned out to be 8 hours and they didn’t let anybody at the bank know that they didn’t have access to their money.

So that’s a concern. So needless to say, everything’s up and running again I guess, at Orange County’s Credit Union. So once again, they don’t care about you and I understand that. And if you think that they do or that they’re looking out for us and that they’re there for customer service, that’s the last thing that they are there for. So share your thoughts on this, let me know what you’re thinking about all this stuff so far and do you want to invest in, you know, investment fund? I love Christmas, I love the holidays, I love the holiday season.

I like getting together with friends, the parties, the events, the boat parade, all that stuff that just reminds me of this time of the year. What we’re doing here at I, allegedly is we’re going to have a Christmas card giveaway. I thought about many things this year. I thought about having Secret Santa with a thousand people and how we could switch gifts and logistically it’s a nightmare. So here’s what you can do.

Gold shoots up through the roof. The S and P 500 shoots up again. And there’s rumors that we’re building into the stock market the fact that there’s going to be five different rate cuts next year. What are you talking about? Oh, yeah, there’s going to be five rate cuts, Dan. Don’t you know that’s what’s going to happen in 2024, okay? Because the economy is doing so well. We are in a manufacturing crisis right now in this country.

And I love for some reason, I’m getting a lot of people writing me, telling me how great manufacturing is and how we’re making all this stuff and just get out of our way because the United States is back when it comes to manufacturing. And again, I found a great article today about the stagflation of manufacturing. Stagflation is high prices, high unemployment, and low demand is stagflation. Well, that’s what’s happening to manufacturing right now, is that things are not getting made in this country right now and you’re seeing a huge fall off.

I’m telling you this right now. I could do a live stream every day of people writing me, telling me how they cannot get holiday work right now. Their companies are cutting back. I have people like Laura writing me, telling know about how her company is sending people home at 01:00 in the afternoon from the sales department when it’s normally booming this time of the year because it’s the holidays and people are buying stuff before the end of the year.

We just don’t need this many people on the floor. It’s not working. Okay, so share your thoughts on all this stuff, guys. You think things are great? You think they’re going to be massive rate cuts? I love this. I just love know few more banking related business items. First one is if you are a bank of America customer in Florida and you had any collection calls, there is a $500,000 settlement that’s being worked on, but you need to apply for it quickly.

And what this was was this is kind of funny, where they would call people between midnight and 08:00 a. m. , hey girl, what are you wearing right now? Don’t forget to make your car payment. No, I don’t think they said that. But again, they called people at an opportune times. They sent people text at 02:00 in the morning and told them to pay their bills, which I think is funny, but they agreed to pay people 500 grand.

Now, this goes to another story about how all these places are opening up bank accounts and they’re mysteriously having money put in them. Okay, now, I think this is money laundering myself. I think that these are gangsters and things like that that do this. But how do you get an account set up in somebody’s name? There was a guy who had a Wells Fargo account. I did this story about two and a half months ago, and he was just furious because there was one $400 put in this account and all this money kept going in and out of the account, and he had nothing to do with the account.

And he wanted to know how Wells Fargo let this guy social and all this stuff be used. There’s another article below about all these bank accounts that are set up that people knew nothing about, nothing about. And again, I think it’s gangster stuff, but they’re filled with cash, and they were without anybody’s consent, another hack. Think about this $1 tree. I had people last week write me and say, do not sign up for stores conveniences, because they’re both in it.

And they talk about how these places get hacked. Why do you need to sign up for the Dollar Tree customer rewards program? What is the rewards with dollar tree, which should be dollar 25 tree, but what is that? Well, they just got hacked to the tune of 2 million people got their data stolen from not dollar tree, okay, because it’s dollar 25 tree. Okay? But again, what are they hey, listen, we’ve got toothbrushes for a dollar 25.

Got more soap for a dollar. Hey, toothpaste, dollar 25. I mean, what do they give you guys? They don’t give you anything for that. So anyways, they got hacked. So again, nothing but problems. And people don’t want to sit there and don’t want to look at this stuff and don’t want to acknowledge that there’s these problems right now. So Broadcom broadcom just bought a company called VMware. And I have to quote this thing because this is great.

I didn’t know that this was an actual law around the country, but they had to notify the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, which has to tell people that they’ve got 60 days, that they’re going to lose their job in 60 days. So Broadcom just bought VMware, and 1267 people are losing their jobs. Hey, happy New Year, girl. What are you wearing? Okay, again, whenever I do these stories, just inevitably, one person is like, yeah, I got those text messages.

They were 02:00 in the morning. They were awful, and they were mean and that kind of stuff. But this leads to the next thing, which is scams right now in debt collection. You guys, I’m telling you this. Do not click on anything. If you get it on your phone, don’t do it unless you know it’s legit. My friend sent me a text last week or when it was my late girlfriend’s birthday, and it’s like, hey, here’s somebody you should connect with on Facebook.

And had her and somebody had hacked her account, one of her accounts, and had her image and reached out to my it’s not funny, but it’s sick. It’s sick that these degenerates, oh, she’s gone. Let’s use this one. Do you know what I mean? It’s outrageous, but the scams are getting so much better. And what they’re doing right now, which is outrageous, is the utility companies, they’re going after people for their utility bills right now and saying, hey, listen, if you don’t pay this, we’re going to shut you off because you didn’t pay this one fee.

And he’s like, Whoa, whoa, what are you talking about? I want you guys to understand from a guy who has been super broke in his life, the people that will bend over backwards are the utility companies. This time of the year, more so than ever. I don’t care how bad your utility is. If you want to break, this is the other thing. I tell people, hey, what’s your electric bill? Want to break it up into two payments? Call them and tell them you want the electric bill broken up into two payments.

And they’ll do it. They’ll do it all the time. Hey, listen, that payment that’s due in the 19th, can I pay that on the 29th? Oh, sure. There you go. Click. There you go. Southern California edison. When you call the computer, hi, would you like a payment extension? Press number six and you press the button. When would you like to pay? You can recommend a date, or we could recommend the furthest that we can go out.

And I’m telling people that are broke, press that button because they will extend it out. But for the love of God, don’t send somebody payment information and do this over the phone, because people are getting scammed and getting their money taken. It is awful because these scoundrels take these people’s money. If you’re not sure about it, call the company. Just do that. And again, this happens all the time.

And again, for those people that are at that shop at Not Dollar Tree, because it’s not Dollar Tree anymore. It’s Dollar 25 tree just got scammed. 2 million people, 1,987,436 to be exact, got their data compromised. So were you on that list? I wasn’t because I don’t not part of their rewards non rewards program for Non Dollar Tree. Okay, tell me what you think, guys. I’m going to finish this video with these last few stories.

And Josh Altman steps forward and says, everybody’s in panic mode right now when it comes to real estate, and that he’s seen so many millionaires and billionaires, for that matter, that have mansions that they cannot unload, and they’re having to resort to renting them out for $150,000 a month in crazy different things just to get the houses moved. Now, one thing we talked about a couple of years ago is how do you get rid of people? And in the banking industry, what Morgan Stanley did was really simple.

They’re just going to pay horrible bonuses this year. So these bankers are losing their minds. And I mean, it’s fantastic. It really is because they’re expecting a mass exit. They don’t have to fire these guys. They just give them nothing. Give them a handshake, a cheese sandwich and $50 and say, thanks for working here. Now, last year they were promised if you hey, listen, when their 2022 was rough, if you stick around with us.

Come on, John, you’re going to have a huge bonus next year. Okay? Well, guess what? You get to 2022 and there’s no bonus. Final story, which I love. Oh, also the other thing. Let me add something else. I had a lot of people send me stories about car carrier scams where people try to ship their cars and they’re scam companies. Remember, I have that guy Matthew who shipped my son’s car all the way across the country.

He’s fantastic. You guys want Matthew’s number? I’ll leave it below. But if you want to ship a car, don’t rely on some of these scam companies because I did my research. It took me weeks to find Matthew, and a lot of you have used him because he called and thanked me. But call Matthew, and I will leave the phone number below and his contact information. Okay? Okay, this is the last story, and I mean it this time.

This is great. Imani Johnson lives in the Buffalo area. She decided to go to a Walmart supercenter, and she stole $800 worth of the Barbie stuff. $800 worth of Barbies and Barbie stuff and Barbie paraphernalia and then left the store from the Walmart Supercenter. And then the cops, they got a description and they saw the car that left. The cops started chasing her. She went 100 miles an hour to avoid the police and to evade getting arrested.

Okay? They finally pull her over. What did they do? They gave her a ticket and said, here’s your notice to appear. We don’t even know if they got the Barbies back or not, but you have a notice to appear? Is that crazy? What is wrong? That’s New York for you guys, okay? That’s New York for you again.
