VIDEO: CTA scam artists caught on tape?


The next person who plays this game wins a chance to get swindled?!

Allegedly, three African American subjects were caught on tape trying to con the CTA passengers on a northbound Red Line train.

Two burly men, and a woman who looks like a manhandled version of singer Mary J. Blige, were apparently working as a team.

Even though the suspicious trio was being filmed, it didn't deter them from participating in what looked like a confidence trick/scam.

YouTube user Ayokdoe:

A team of three black adults on the CTA have been scamming the public. First, the slight of hand artist will allow his team members to easily win by selecting the correct cap with the ball. Then his team members will blatantly pick the wrong cap and lose making the rest of the train riders think that the game is legit.

    Why do blacks gets so defensive when you call them out on their criminal behavior? Looks like someone struck a raw nerve!

  7. Why are there so many "Anonymous's", and one of you is talking about "hiding behind a keyboard" and hiding behind "anonymous" yourself!!

    And as far as fucking somebody's tunnels - how about the tunnels the three "homies" came out of, so that my old Black ass cannot ride the fucking 'L' home without being fucking harrassed EVERY single fucking day??

    Maybe dousing them with gas like the elevator dude in NY would get rid of them.

  8. That's an old shell game, I'm surprised anyone in this day and age is still doing that or that anyone is still goofy enough to go for it.
    I'm more concerned about all the chimpouts that take place on the CTA day in and day out. Every time I ride something crazy or threatening happens, usually carried out by blacks. They think the CTA is a playground or a hunting ground.

  9. @12:18,

    I am not surprised you threaten people with violence for speaking their minds. It is so typical of your culture. This is why people have such a negative impression of you. Not because they have been raised to hate blacks! You can't come up with a counter argument to prove him wrong, so instead you just threaten to beat his ass.

    Perhaps with age you will realize you act more like an animal than a human. Although it is more likely you will die or go to jail long before that time...

  11. Niggers are subhuman jungle savage animals. The CTA should have separate cattle cars to haul them.

  12. Why are Black people so dumb? The apes in the Lincoln Park zoo are smarter and have better manners than these Black humans. Blacks are also lazy, which is why they only work jobs that do not require any physical labor. They love working at the CTA and parking enforcement because they feel the uniform gives them authority. After all these years, they refuse to act civilized and fit in with everyone else. They can't even make the effort to speak proper English.

  13. The blackies sure don't like to have to work for money, do they?

  14. when Nigerians were given the computer, they used it to develop their phishing scam. When chicago youth were given the sail fone, they've used it to coordinate flash mobs. When given the iPhone, they've used it to document the only known visual (outside of music and sports) history known to the race: Let them self-destruct.

  18. My buddies friend recorded this asshole like 3 years ago. it's the same dude and his 3 friends.
    Here's the scam.

    The showman busts out his caps, and ball. He has his friend guess the cap and wins a 50$
    When people get attracted to this and start to bet, he scams them by palming a ball, and there is no winner. They proceed to lose their money. CTA has been looking for this guy for ever. He rides the Red line all the time up and down looking for tourists going to Cubs games and such. One day somebody is gonna cap this motherfucker.

  19. If they're stupid enough to play, they're stupid enough to lose. He's got a great market that's for sure - drunk sports fans. He doesn't bother me as much as the panhandlers getting into my personal space when I've already answered "no".

  20. To 1:21 - you're absolutely correct. Any half-intelligent adult should know that this is a scam, I've been hearing about these my entire life (and it's not like the "Shell Game" scam hasn't been made fun of in TV & movies for years).

    I'm just shocked that I've never heard of someone jumping & beating him. Every person on that train should know that this is a scam - and if someone is stupid enough to fall for it, well, I have no sypmathy for that person.

  21. This scam happened to me in 1988 when I was 13. They let me win a dollar and then made me feel guilty for taking their dollar. Having just moved here from a small town, I thought that they worked for the CTA or something as entertainment. I played again, and lost $10.

    The game ended, ironically, just as the train was pulling into a stop. The guy hopped out and a concerned bystander (accomplice) told me that it wasn't worth it when I tried to go after him.

    For me, $10 was a cheap lesson. It was the last time that I ever trusted any black person that approached me in Chicago again.

    That $10 probably saved me hundreds of dollars over the years.

  22. That was reason to "never trust a black person again"? Hilarious. Should have went home and slapped your mama for not teaching you better.

    Now having a security guard assist in getting your car stolen or having a black person in Chicago, that you've never even encountered before, throw something at your face from across the street because you're White are some of my reasons.

  23. To Frequent Rider - that stinks to hear that you were a victim, fortunately for you, it was only $10.

    Just a question though - what on earth were your small town parents thinking letting a 13 year old ride the freaking CTA train by himself?!?!?!

    It's incredible that there is documented evidence of this same person doing this for at least four years (and likely, much much longer). Is this his full-time job, or does he do it on the side? And since this income clearly doesn't get reported, is he also collecting on a Link card & getting gov't paid health insurance?

    Finally like I mentioned earlier, it's shocking to me that nobody has just pummeled him for doing this. EVERYBODY knows this is a scam.

  24. Does any adult really fall for this? Come on people. Some of you act like you were born yesterday. This has been going on since the begining of time.

  25. @Big AL: My parents thought that I was at my friend's house. I was actually with a friend, who was a lifelong resident, but that didn't help. We used to take the CTA downtown, to Belmont & Clark, the HIP, the Brickyard, etc. It was an education.

    It was just the first reason to distrust black people in Chicago. By now, I have about 100 other reasons. It sounds racist but actually, I don't really trust anyone that I haven't known for a while. Its a good policy to live by.

  26. Everyone bends over backwards to be PC, but really?
    I think we can all admit that blacks are just vile!

  27. Can't believe this guy still does this!! I remember him from 20 years ago!!

  28. Niggers and wetbacks cannot ride the CTA properly, when the bus is overpacked they just barely get on and stop and let nobody else on. Even yelling "MOVE MOTHERFUCKER!" in spanish doesn't help, they are just inconsiderate down to a genetic level.

  29. I'm whippin ass the next time I see this crew they me for a $100 I'm straight slapping motherfuckers
