| 00:00 - 00:05 | Hello, thank you for inviting me to be on your show today |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | I have something funny to tell you |
| 00:07 - 00:10 | I've been seeing a lot of this on Facebook, recently |
| 00:11 - 00:16 | It is a bit of scam to take all of of your money |
| 00:17 - 00:21 | They're called Oyster Opening Parties |
| 00:21 - 00:24 | It's true! |
| 00:29 - 00:31 | It's true! |
| 00:31 - 00:34 | People are falling over themseves to buy this junk |
| 00:38 - 00:40 | It's true! |
| 00:41 - 00:47 | They take freshwater pearls and stuff them into saltwater oysters |
| 00:47 - 00:50 | Then they give them their credit card |
| 00:50 - 00:56 | They have no idea they're not getting the real thing |
| 00:58 - 00:59 | You can't make this shit up |
| 00:59 - 01:01 | There's a sucker born every minute |
| 01:04 - 01:06 | The hosts say they're selling akoyas |
| 01:06 - 01:08 | But it's just crap from China |
| 01:13 - 01:14 | It's true! |
| 01:14 - 01:16 | They open them up online at these parties |
| 01:16 - 01:20 | And everyone gets all excited |
| 01:21 - 01:27 | And think they found something rare... something rare and valuable |
| 01:35 - 01:39 | Here wanna buy this dead oyster? It has sea grass on it. |
| 01:39 - 01:40 | ...and a barnacle |
| 01:41 - 01:42 | But seriously, there's more |
| 01:44 - 01:47 | If a viewer shares a link, the might win a free gift |
| 01:47 - 01:49 | Something they couldn't sell otherwise |
| 01:50 - 01:53 | Most of them don't even win anything |
| 01:54 - 01:56 | They get nothing |
| 01:56 - 01:58 | For doing their networking for them |
| 01:58 - 02:02 | It's a multi-level marketing scam. The oldest trick in the book |
| 02:05 - 02:07 | It's true |
| 02:10 - 02:11 | I mean really... I mean really |
| 02:15 - 02:20 | I mean really, can you imagine buying something made in a factory in China |
| 02:21 - 02:25 | Being sold as a pearl made naturally by the oyster in the ocean |
| 02:25 - 02:28 | Then mounted in jewelery made from recycled cars |
| 02:28 - 02:29 | And a old bridge? |
| 02:30 - 02:31 | And a old bridge |
| 02:37 - 02:40 | I swear, you can't make this shit up |
| 02:41 - 02:43 | The videos are made in their kitchen |
| 02:51 - 02:55 | And their phone app makes everything appear backwards |
| 02:56 - 02:58 | Do they do appraisals for them? |
| 02:59 - 03:03 | They do appraisals, but they're not experts |
| 03:03 - 03:06 | and know nothing about gems... or precious metals |
| 03:06 - 03:09 | They just make up whatever shit to sound like they are |
| 03:09 - 03:14 | It's the dumbest thing I've ever seen. |
| 03:17 - 03:19 | You should logon sometime. |
| 03:23 - 03:25 | You'll laugh your ass off too, I tell you |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | I think you'll be amazed... |
| 03:33 - 03:36 | Just how ridiculous the whole thing is. |
