IShowSpeed escapes from scammer while playing Fortnite's PvE mode

During the livestream, Speed was immersed in Fortnite's PvE mode when he encountered a potential scammer using the account name 'IShowpurp'.

The latter seemed to be trolling the YouTuber by inviting him to Speed's homebase in the game and subsequently taking all of his items.

Initially, the player attempted to provoke Speed, but it became evident that their intention was to scam him by holding his weapons hostage.

In the PvE mode, items dropped by players can be picked up by others, resulting in the original owner losing them.

However, the situation took a turn for the better after Speed issued a stern warning to the player. As a result, the player promptly allowed Speed to take control of the base building.

It's important to note that Speed also employed the same initial trick as the scammer to confiscate his weapons, effectively trapping him.

How did IShowSpeed's fans react to the livestream clip?

The livestream clip on Twitter, featuring IShowSpeed taking down the scammer went viral. Many fans shared comments about the scammer with one fan saying, "He is a clown." Another fan said, "My question is why did the dude not edit to get his stuff before IShowSpeed got it either way scammer gets scam"

The third user wrote, "-rep used to do that in 2018, bro just trying to make that band let him be" The last user wrote, "Its sounds like speed just scammed and [sic] innocent dude"
