Today on Too Opinionated, comedian & scam hunter Ryan Kelly comes to visit! 

As someone who can be described as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes by day and a gut-busting comedian by night, Ryan has grown a massive social media following thanks to his satirical comedy, good-natured desire to help followers get their money back after falling victim to internet scammers, and an incredibly interesting life. 

So how did this online crime-fighting comedian first become a legendary scambuster? Ryan had been the victim of online scamming and lost $712.50, and as a full-time comedian with a master’s degree…he had a lot of free time on his hands. By the end of that same day, Ryan had gathered the scammer’s information and reported them to his local FBI office. He posted the story online and was overwhelmed by the enormous number of comments from people who had been scammed similarly. In the end, Ryan got his money back and started to post online more about hunting scammers, empathizing with followers who have also fallen victim to being scammed, and how to prevent being taken advantage of online.

Ryan is gifted with a photographic memory and graduated high school early at just 15 years old. After graduating college and then earning his master’s degree in Homeland Security, Ryan moved to Los Angeles to pursue comedy and stand-up full-time.
