00:00How many people are out there with the headphones on,
00:02they've got the phone, they're coming out of the gym like this,
00:05phoof, gone.
00:06But let me tell you, when I said to him, I said,
00:09you know, how do you grab them?
00:11He said, put something there in front of me.
00:13So I put my glasses, I didn't trust him with my phone,
00:17put my glasses there.
00:19And I'm not kidding, it was a real stretch away.
00:22And he went, phoof.
00:24And that were quick, but I just didn't see it.
00:27He teaches them to be so quick like that.
00:29So if it's on the desk like that, phoof, gone.
00:32And he runs like there's no tomorrow.
00:34People are on the phones.
00:35But they're on mopeds, of course, or motorbikes.
00:37Some of them can run as fast.
00:39You know, these guys are trained to run.
00:41They're on thousands of pounds a day.
00:43It's their job.
00:44And that's the thing, they think they're an entrepreneur.
00:46They think they've got a job.
00:47It's like somebody setting up a plumbing business.
00:49He was talking to me as if he's got a business.
00:52And he's ripping people off, he's stealing from people.
00:55They look over your shoulder, you're going like this,
00:57you've got your four digits, and then two seconds later, phoof, gone.
