>> reporter: steve ginty says scammers want your personal information, like debit card numbers to access your bank account. he suggests using payment systems like apple pay, venmo or paypal for purchases. >> because you don't have to enter the credit card information at time of checkout, and therefore the actors can't get access to that information because it's a secure transaction. >> reporter: lamie got most of her money back, but she is still out $80. and instead of shoes, what showed up in the mail from china? a cheap knockoff gucci scarf she never asked for. >> and i feel bad for people if they're going shopping for their kids. it's me. it's sneakers. it's okay. but people like who maybe they're buying their kids their christmas presents and then they don't get them, i mean, that's even worse. so it's pretty pathetic. >> reporter: lamie's bank credited her debit card for the three fraudulent charges, but they wouldn't credit her for thl got a scarf. the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. $9.95 at my age?

halls of food fads, what in the world could be weirder than mukbang? . >> mmm! >> reporter: mukbang is a korean word that means something like eat-casting. basically, it's watching long youtube videos of other people eating. if you told people the whole deal, like i sit there for half an hour and eat this giant mound of seafood, what would they say? >> most of the time people would say oh, okay, the weird look on their faces like oh, okay. >> reporter: bethany gaskin may be the current queen of mukbang on youtube where she is known as b-lori th half a billion times. >> mmm! >> growing up, i haven't had the best life, you know, living in poverty. so i know struggle, but i also understand what it takes to work hard to get yourself ahead.

of companionship. >> reporter: to find out the appeal for americans, i spoke to some fans across the country. >> hey! it works. hey, you guys. >> reporter: over video. it seemed appropriate. >> every single day i would say we watch. >> yeah, yeah. every day. >> reporter: kristin and jamil wallace of california are in it for the food. >> you know, usually mukbangers are eating indulgent foods that normally you're not going have in front of you. >> reporter: i have a very simple question for you. why? >> why? >> reporter: kelly halliday of delaware -- >> how are you guys doing today? >> reporter: watches the videos to have company. >> i just think you kind of feel like you're not by yourself, you know what i mean? >> reporter: yeah. >> and that's a good feeling to know that somebody else can identify with what you might be going through. >> it's not for the food. it helps with my anxiety, and it helps me sleep at night. >> reporter: and 14-year-oldfro for the sounds, the ng and the crunching. >> the sounds are like really

soothing because i kind of have adhd, so i need something to be played. >> reporter: wow. so this is where it all happens? >> yes. >> reporter: meanwhile, mukbang has changed bethany gaskin's life completely. her husband nate quit his job as an engineer to edit her videos and manage her business. >> you do the peppers and the sauce? >> it's so good. >> reporter: she started selling her dipping sauce on amazon, and she is still posting a new mukbang video every single day. >> i don't understand it either, but i just do it. to have people watch you eat is weird, but the numbers are looking good. the money is right. so i'm going to keep on doing it. a lot of people get ready for the thanksgiving feast by cleaning out the liquor cabinet. as lee cowan reports, you might want to think twice before flushing the old stuff down the drain. >> reporter: this thanksgiving, it just might be worth a look in the become of your grandfather's liquor cabinet, because those

old dusty bottles you may have assumed have gone bad may in fact be a gift from holidays past. >> down in this corner over here. >> reporter: that's where you found it? in there? >> yes, yes. >> reporter: while renovating his partner's house this last september, ron lewert found a stash of gilbey's gin, still space in the roof. >> burlap sitting there, 12 bottles, right? >> reporter: they're almost certainly as old as the house, built in 1926. >> it would appear that it was placed into the roof when they were constructing the house. >> >> reporter: that's wild. >> pretty crazy. >> reporter: now old booze doesn't necessarily mean good booze, but it might be. a bottle of macallan distilled in 1926 just broke a record at auction, selling for nearly $2 million.

jamie ritchie was the sotheby's aug's near that day. >> if you have 40 powers from the bottle, you can give fourth people the greatest whiskey ever made. it's fun. >> reporter: i want to be at that guy's house christmas. cheer. >> cheers. >> reporter: old spirits are indeed rising for day. at smuggler's cove in san francisco, there a s a private vintage rum club. >> thank you, sir. >> reporter: at the office, a high end speakeasy in manhattan, mark dipasquale can make you a preprohibition martini using vermouth from 1906 and gin from the turn of the century. how much does that go for? >> $600. >> reporter: $600? >> yeah. the gin is really cool. the vermouth is really interesting. to me the most interesting part of the martini is right there. >> reporter: that's the martini's bitter, dating from 1896, or before. >> if you take a sip of it and coat your mouth with it, it just -- it has a life to it that

modern spirits don't. >> reporter: which is why some go to any length to find these bottled treasures. >> with bottles packed in straw. >> reporter: last month, divers in the baltic sea hauled up nearly a thousand bottles of cognac and liqueurs from a steamer sunk by a german u boat in world war i. and a 1920s bowling alley in los angeles bottles of old whiskey were found forgotten in an old office in pristine condition. some now have dedicated their lives to becoming alcohol archaeologists of sorts. abe gearhart is founder of the uk-based old spirits company. his collection includes thousands of old soldiers standing at attention waiting to be honored for their service. >> you get to sort of experience the past through, you know, rose-tinted glasses in the best way.

>> hi! >> how you? >> i'm well, thank you. >> reporter: so who better for ron lewert and his wife alicia to call about that mysterious find in their roof? >> what do you think we have here? >> i think just for what they are, they're probably worth, i don't know, maybe $750 each, something like that. >> reporter: well, that's worth a toast, but nope. opening a nearly 100-year-old twist top needs, well, less delicate methods. there you go. >> all right. you get the first pour. >> you get the first sip, though. >> reporter: just maybe this is what a sip of gilbey's gin might have tasted like. >> cheers. >> reporter: cheers! during prohibition. that's pretty good. i'm impressed. >> that really is. >> reporter: maybe you're not

selling them. >> maybe not getting these. >> reporter: the spirit of thanksgiving courtesy of generations past. chee !
