CHATTING WITH AN ONLINE PREDATOR FOR 1.5 YEARS, THEN CONFRONTING HIM LOL

that shirt in the end was absolutely killing me

Maddie M

Old mate thinks that if he says 'what are you up to' and 'lol' enough times, it'll add up to well above the legal age!

MGD

"What do you want" Like he wanted to drop cash to him to delete the footage ! INSANE crazy guy!

Pierrick Dej

That shirt was perfect for the confrontation lol

Ironicbanana

omg, at the end of confrontation with a guy I felt ashamed.

Sara with an H

He did not want the smoke lol

Katelin

It seems like he was probably waiting for the decoy to turn 16

Ward Holsey

The predator looks like the mean guy from Toy Story in the chicken suit that has the Cheetos all over his hand... Al McWhiggin. Keep up the good work Zach! :)

Olivia Lacking

Knew Craig Feldspar was weird but never thought he would turn out to be a NONCE

Sneaky Nuts

Tried to google something in the mall today, so i opened up my browser. Suddenly the vid startet with "would u suck the cum out of me mmmmmh" fuck my life 😂

Tim

This guy looks like 90% of the guys caught on TCAP lol

Jess

“What do you want?” The jig is up, pal.

Chris

Are you turning these chat logs and videos over to the police? Do they prosecute these perverts?

thomas lipinski

Someone that I saw while I was walking in the parking lot of a target looked like this guy

Hayden

He was shitting bricks.

Kris Mish

The two guys you mention were people I confronted before first chatting with this dude. Overall, I've confronted 28 predators since 2013.

Zach Sweers

Are you like 7 feet tall? You seem like a giant.

Geno Perrotti

51:35 you forgot the Santa Claus guy and the one where u acted like a 14-year-old boy for the guy w the dirty car that took u to u into the woods

Aamna Abdallah

Great video as always. but can you link the 8-Bit cover for Black Sabbath Iron Man you used at 56:10? It sounds so smooth.

Emil Demenchuk

Susan and YouTube are enabling pedophiles.

Alex Gravlin

Love the Iron Man beat cut

Lilli Franklin

I’m new here so glad to support you on this platform. Why do preds all have a certain look. Did you involve police

Anna L

1993 Oldsmobile. :-)

Zach Sweers

NGL this has nothing to do with the video but what sort of car do you have

andreas simonsen

You write like a predator

Nathan Perez

Fuggin hero👌😤🙏

Jonathan Rodriguez

CHAINS YOU CAN USE ON WHO AND WHAT ANXIETY WAR 👀👀👀👀💀💀💀💀

Nataliya

Unfortunately, you're right. He does have children.

Zach Sweers

8th grade = middle school = 13 & 14 years old. I'm not sure where you are from or why this seems weird to you.

Zach Sweers

Man. You need to keep a vest in your car brother. Never get caught off guard.

Ron Swartz Anonymous

Wait....you tell people you're 14....and in middle school......wut.....i started middle school when i turned 11....so that seems kind of old...for a middle schooler

Fox Ramirez

Appreciate your content but I would have loved to hear use a little police type manipulation to get his cooperation. “Your life is basically over unless you admit you made a mistake. Which is it? Are you a pedophile or just a nice guy who made a an honest mistake. “ Then he would probably have confessed. Good work overall.

Jason Carruthers

I created a Patreon account just to see his amazing quality content. Honestly worth all the 5 bucks for me.

Angela

Dude My husband and I love you. We bought every sticker and two shirts. Keep up the good work. It almost makes us want to confront predators too. I actually look really young for my age (I'm 22 but I look 12.. does that make my husband a predator? 🤔😆)... so providing fake pictures would be easy. But then again man, you are doing some dangerous work out there! I also have to say it's impressive how you can gather so much information about a person. In one of your old videos you showed a predators crime report and I was like tf how'd he get that? Google? Lmfao.

Dink donk

28:34 would have been the perfect opportunity for you to put on your yoga pants for another photoshoot...give him the sneak peak he so badly wanted lol.

Jeff

I went looking for this comment should of kept count of "lol" too

Noah Robinette

"im not nervous" *frantically jumps in car* 😂

Nikki LeMaire

I’m not into underage “women” 🙄🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Mariah Daynell

That big ass van you know he has kids smh

Alasiah Winstead

Same as all the above! had to sign up for patreon just for AW! Damn you for the blue balls… now I know how those predators feel. Except that I can finish now. Finish watching each episode, I mean.

Ian Altes

The confrontation was so satisfying

Gutworm

big mood. but hey! You get a sticker and a signed card from him!!!

Duvymoose

Gross!

Taylor

You're the first person I paid to watch. Thank you for your service! I damn well hope he got fired and potential jail time

Taylor

fuck it, i just watched an hour long chat log video so i had to fork over 5 bucks to watch this

Jordan Maze

Imagine if you went to his work and confronted him lol

Hayden Karenke

I usually don’t do Patreon but this guy does good work for the community 👍 to him

UhhhhJustPhil

first and only person i paid to watch, second time i paid for your patreon, such great and interesting videos, i love your personality, how you confront them, etc. really loved when you told him the chat log doesnt lie, made me laugh so much

Emilie

honestly, you are the only person I have payed money to watch. And its worth every penny

jivenstripes

you confronting that predator while wearing that shirt is sending me

mary f

How much are those recording glasses?

Justin Moreno

not much LOL

Scottie Turner

great video man, one of my favourite confrontations. You can see the guilt in his eyes, especially before he walked into the other shop. Great work, and have that protection ready next time. Like you said, you got LUCKY. Keep up the good work man.

Scottie Turner

You should’ve kept track of how much he said “lol”

Skittles32

he's got the office lady walk

Kelly Pueyo

I can’t believe he pretty much fell right into your lap. The sheer luck. Excellent video.

Jessica Ingenbrandt

I’m content to see you doing such great work. Speaking from experience, seeing those being held accountable brings a smile to my face! Keep it up!

Carlos Rojas

"This is the anxiety war bunker, okay!"

Mary Bernard

Dang the patience you must’ve had to keep this up for over a year

IvaMarie Bertucci

It's scary how "normal" he looks! Another great video, I love your edits! 👍😁👍

Ellis Eadie

What you up to? <@;P

Zoom Dropout

Hey bro, can you grab me a white grape crystal quencher while you're out hunting predators? Thanks.

Daddy Cheeseburger

Truly pitiful. Hopefully his employers, family, and the police see this.

Ronald

🤣🤣

Jason Hawkins

Zach, your videos are so unique and set you apart from the others. Where do you get your music? Is it Wolfenstein inspired? Or some other game? Love from Tacoma, WA <3

Essie

As if his fat ass would be sneaking through anybody's windows lol

Cherry Daniels

all that sticker plugging had me dying lmaooo

Axel

I recognize this guy, I'm positive he helped paint my house a few years back. That's insane :/

Hanna Ferguson

Lmfaooo that walk off after confronting him 😂 you’re amazing! Great work.

K

I like how he makes fun of them saying hi

Cherry Daniels

You should now make a 'What you up to?' sticker xD

xXxEmmaxXx

Ah man. I really wish you were more prepared for this bust. If anyone deserved to have a printed chat log, and their picture shown to them it’s that dude. Makes me sick.

Gilbert Trujillo Jr.

Wondering Same. They are a very respected paint company. One of the best paint producers, quality speaking. Plus they hire out employees to provide painting services residentially. Z! You gotta tell them before he pedos out on some poor kid while working!

Jody Kurt

That confrontation was CLEAN even if you weren't planning on it!

Ethan Gallardo

Exactly!!

Kim Basciano

Wondering how many times this pred says “LOL”

MX

It never fails to amaze me how these ugly ass, nasty ass dudes can't get a woman their age, so they somehow think an underage girl wants them.

Levi Combs

did you also notice the ring he was wearing on his wedding finger? i wouldnt be surprised of that pig was married too

lina

I cant stand how many times he says LOL!!!!!! and "what are you up to?" On the other hand, I LOVE how you always say "mmmmm" the same way everytime! Hahah and "Use come commas guy!"

Kristen DILLIGAF

*POV* - You're a lonely skeleton, cursed by a wicked witch to forever reside in a dumpster! Hope has diminished, giving way to doubts that you will ever find your "Handsome Prince" to take you away from this horrible place. 😭 One fateful night, you hear the slight squeak of car breaks, followed by footsteps. Could it be?? Your bones clink together in fright and you are enthralled! The fog of condensation clears, just as the heavy dumpster lid is lifted, and here he is! 23:59 This incredibly handsome young man stares in disbelief, as he effortlessly and smoothly lifts you out of this cursed place, out into the chilly, crisp night air and yeets you into his warm car, then straight into his heart. ❤️ Years pass blissfully.... He still doesn't know your real name... And he still hasn't figured out your dark, treacherous, twisted plans! 💀 👀 💀 👀 💀 👀 💀 👀 💀 AHAHAHA HAHAHA!! SILLY HUMAN! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Doc_Nebula

I thought that since he wanted the girl to ride her bike to there, he was in a sex trafficking scheme. It’s so scary how technology allows anyone to talk to literally anyone. Good job! Keep exposing these pedos.

Gabi Westrich

That is hilarious he ended up WORKING at Sherwin Williams lmao. What a fool. He was shaking in his boots. XD Shaking in his Sherwin Williams tee lol

Beth Razz

Thank you for my stickerrrrr! ❤️

Katie DJ

That is such a good idea!!!

Abigail

Do you send all the evidence you collected to the predators work places? If not, maybe you should.

Code: Marla

good job as always

Hugo

I like these hour long videos so it's alright

Jasmine V Anderson

“It wasn’t me, I’m not into underage women” *gotta get outta here as fast as possible* lol these guys are a piece of work

Mia Vollenhoven

the way this man carries himself and seems so normal scares me so bad. trust no one 😭 also each time you tell them that the chat log doesnt lie really scratches my brain

willa

Same thing happening to me. Feels bad.

ItsDeanMachine

None of the vids are working anymore. I watched 2 and now none of them work, just redirects me to Vimeo

LatterDayPVNK

Video isn’t working!😭

Chloe

Video isn't working, damn. I need to see this ass get schooled

ItsDeanMachine

I just can't get over how long you guys were chatting! When you finally confronted him...man, what a let down. He didn't have a damned thing to say! I hope this guy learned his lesson (they never seem to, lol) or gets put away.

JustJakki

what are you up to?

sunny

Oh my gosh i laughed so hard when you confronted him and went straight for it lol!

Rikki Hopper

I was nervous going to pick up a mirror on Facebook Marketplace. Salute to what you do Zach. Honestly, you're a gem

Albino Monkey

These people are crazy man, saying he’s not nervous but it was so obvious. Like honestly at that point you know you’re caught, denying doesn’t change the cold hard facts

Jeff Hayner

Your little run made my day

Bree

New here (: Appreciate what you do!

Carolyn Marie Barron

I love what you do and am very glad I finally joined your patreon. Can’t wait to get your stickers. Keep up the amazing work, you got an army of us behind you. The chat log doesn’t lie 😏✨

Yanel Adame

It’s always funny to me how predators think they should act in order to appear innocent, but it SCREAMS guilty every time! A truly innocent person would probably seek assistance from police immediately if you were really just some random man accusing terrible crimes, right?? I appreciate your work, and I loved the stickers I ordered! :)

Erika Carter

After this I can never say “what are you up to” again 😂🤣🤢 what a sick old man!!

Katie Lee

👏🏽 ANOTHER GREAT CATCH 👏🏽 GOOD JOB ZACH 👍🏼 That was the most ANNOYING chat log you have ever read 🤣 God Bless you for going through that conversation in real time & when you read it out for us 🙏🏽 The way he looked around before you approached him was proof right there - He was there to meet the girl, he was looking around for her!!

MsGhost87

"these predators are getting extremely intelligent" dude literally tells you what store he's gonna be going to and at what time 😂 love it!!

Dylan Rakosnik

Love you, your laugh, your car, and everything you do!! You're the fucking best <3

Britt

I know right!! That perplexed me as well hahaha.

Zach Sweers

The amount of times Darrin said "lol was really annoying, and what's up with him having a Michigan Wolverines license plate with a Michigan State Spartans bumper sticker?

Just started playing this video and saw that this guy has a friendly-looking smile. Hell, he could pass as one of those friendly customers that would ask how my day is going while I'm having a crappy day at work. How these gross preds are able to emotionally separate preying on children apart from the rest of their lifestyle is beyond me.

Evelyn K

Hey another Chicago fan! :)

Sam Valentine

Great video! It’s really disturbing that there seems to be a never-ending parade of pedos to bust though! The damn things are everywhere!

Karen Domke

i hope all his friends and family will see this and i hope his life will be miserable. thank you for your important work 👏🏻

Sigrid V

"I'm not into underage women!" So funny

Emil Stenner Sattrup

Whaaaat, don't worry! I'll send you another one!

Zach Sweers

This sounds nice and normally I would agree as I do this anyway in most of my catches, however, in this case there was simply not enough time when the predator said he'd be at a place "in a few." You would surely hate to miss your very narrow window of opportunity due to being busy printing out a chat log or photo, so it's all about prioritizing the meetup, even if you're unprepared. We both arrived at the same exact time so even one more minute would have screwed me over as I'd have no idea where he parked or if he was even there to begin with. Another thing I considered while confronting him is showing a pic of him on my phone, however, I am paranoid about predators stealing my phone (and I have good reason for this), so it's all a matter of risk assessment. I will discuss all of this in the upcoming confrontation commentary video... thanks!

Zach Sweers

I'd buy that.

Niluksha De Silva

You really should print out the chatlogs-at least some of them, the most egregious, the ones where he sends pics of himself and asks for pics, so you can show him that you literally have the proof right there. Just saying "it was me you were talking to and i saved everything"-anyone can say that and it makes it too easy for hom to just say he doesnt know what youre talking about. Harder to keep up that story if the first time he says it you whip out printouts of the chat with his pics in them. Im a longtime fannl, i just think that wouldve made this confrontation more effective.

Mer Kitten

Absolutely chilling....

Marina

you know what he was probably doing when he asked ''what are u up to?'' at random times. He was looking for the girl he thought he was talking to. He was always in her part of town, and when he saw a girl he thought was you (14 yr old)he would txt to see if her phone would ring. He was stalking her. He asked what she wore when she rode her bike, so he can spot her.

Sarah Cole

I know I'm not Zach, but I also have been a patron for a while that doesn't have my name listed. I'm pretty sure unless you support in a certain tier, I think it's $10/month tier, your name isn't added.

ReiIndan

What are you up to?

Ben Oister

YESS I was hyped for this one! Thank you for another great video!

MagnumSlorpus

I'm so happy to be a member- I've watched you on YouTube for years!! The postal service destroyed my sticker but it has character and it's on my car.

Lu Forjan

You really got him speechless I been a Patreon for awhile and I never seen my name 😓 I understand you’re a busy guy hope all is doing well for you!

Lu Romero

Zach, did you inform sherwin williams of the fact that they have a predator working for them? Something tells me they would want to know something like that as I'm sure they don't condone it and would want the chance to do something about it.

Brett Saia

Having grown up in MI it feels extra creepy watching these 😖

Andrea H

Zach, I just have to say how much I appreciate you putting in the time to read and type out these chat logs, rather than slapping screenshots on the video and cutting to the confrontation right away.

Maria Skolnicki

“Alright, what do you want?” THAT WAS ALL WE NEEDED, SIR PREDAPHILE

Shelby Carlton

Yes! I was wondering why he looked familiar lol

JenLuvsHalloween

A long and tedious case.. suddenly cut short with an abrupt, fast-thinking required, ending. It’s time to celebrate Victory!! To the dumpsters!! 🍾🛢🛢🛢😎👍🏽

MJB1337

Zack: "the chat log doesn't lie" predator: *speeds off* Zack: *walks away like a baddie that he is getting another bust down* ~ * music intensifies* us: *clapping*

Shhh baby it's me

Top tier editing👍👍 Loved the video and great work as always

Hunter Leonard

Got my stickers the other day!! Love them!

Kim Basciano

LOVE THE COUNTER 😂 so much better than the on screen ones.

Rainier A

Great video. At least this guy didn't go psycho on you. The last few have been quite violent. Keep up the good work, but be CAWtious.

Lorraine Pozniak

This guy was just pathetic :D Great video btw :)

Adéla Krausová

Drinking game 🚨 Take a shot every time the predator says “lol” 😭😭😭

Sydni Romano

The MIDI opening was fantastic, hahah. I will write B I G - M E S S A G E: It's scary how long-term committed these molesters are with investing time into texting/etc what they think all little kids for disgusting reasons. YouTube deleting your videos over and over is so scary. Abuse like this thrives because the victims are isolated. It's not fun realizing how common pedos are, but YouTube needs to let the truth out there so kids can not only realize it exists but know what signs to look out for to not be victims of grooming. Also creepy how he keeps prospecting you by dipping for months and then flooding you with messages. Like, I guess he's hoping you age quicker in that time but then he remembers that kids stay kids for awhile and ghosts you again. Always SO CREEPY when predators do that looking-out-for-you / "be careful of men out there" shite. My god, them thinking they're the exception to it all. You narrating the "Mmmm"s always make me freaking burst out laughing, god it's always so hilarious and brings forth dopamine to my soul. THE MIDI RETURNS. Gosh the anxiety of your impending confrontation, AGHHHH. OH MY GOSH THOUGH, just you asking directions and then sending these creeps into orbit with summarizing their nasty actions. It's so funny (in a sad way) how CALM THEY ALWAYS ARE because they know it's true and they're not surprised. Normal people would be offended and confused being abruptly accused of that. LMAO you strutting back to the car gave me comedic relief. B L E S S.

Dolly

It's crazy how these people seem totally normal when you confront them, but are absolute animals behind the screen. Keep up the great work! Ordered the new merch already! :D

docderheiler

nah thats too painless lol

Jo

Anther amazing video keep it up keep busting these pedophiles

Paul Cook III

Sick outro music

Curt

He kinda looks like Big Ed from 90 Day Fiance

Slow Loris

This video is cool and all but what are you up to? 🧐🤣

Slow Loris

I hate predators. Too bad they don't get shot by firing squad.

Truffles

You should make a sticker that says: What are you up to? lmao

JenLuvsHalloween

It's working for me, did you try refreshing?

Dolly

What a pathetic pervert. You said 8th grade and he was really trying to go for that smh he should be locked up

Rob Rullo

Do you get the police involved

Nathan

This guy for sure peed himself a little 😂 Zach, please consider “R U A COP?” for your next round of merch!!

Alexandra

The way you got this guy was sooo good. He was dumbfounded when the conversation turned after asking for directions HAHAHA

nadia s

I got my sticker in the mail love it !

Kayla Cox

You could see his internal struggle on whether or not to admit and defend himself or continue to play stupid. Excellent work man!! The whole Sherwin Williams realization plus the music made it feel like a thriller.

Michael Hamilton

Zack back at it!

Brian salgado

It says unable to find video 🤕

Arnitikos

Awesome, the perfect video for my saturday evening! ♥

Felix Bromberg

Jeeesus.

srna
