Yahoo Boys nearly land in trouble for trying to scam American cop’s wife (Watch video)

A group of online scammers known as the “Yahoo Boys” almost got caught by an American police officer whose wife they tried to rip off.

The young men have been talking to a white woman for a while in order to get money out of her, but they didn’t know that she is married to a police officer.

During their first video call with the woman named Barbara, they found out that her husband is a county sheriff. He was almost able to figure out what they were up to and put an end to their scam.

In a popular online video, Barbara asked one of the Yahoo Boys for his name. He told her he would only tell her if she told him how old she was. She said she was 17 years old.

While they were talking, her husband came home from work and took the phone away from her because he saw that she was talking to some men.

He began asking them questions because he wanted to know what they wanted from his family.

The Yahoo Boy was sure of himself and said that he was just talking to Barbara in a friendly way.

The back-and-forth questioning went on for a while, and then the cop asked the boy his name. The boy said it was Zeus Hercules, which threw the man off and almost made him laugh out loud.

The answer made the police officer feel better about the question-and-answer session, but he decided to end the call right away.
