You really helped stop this woman out. I hate to think what would've happened if you weren't able to get through to Target and tell them what's going on
So I work in Walmart. Overnights but still. I was ringing my stuff through, and noticed this 70ish year old women buying roughly 20 gift cards. I asked her why she needed so many gift cards, and she said that someone from Microsoft said her stuff was compromised. Immediately called over the CSM, who call the on duty manager, who called the police. They explained to her what it was, so then she called them back and uh, sheesh. I never knew an old lady could tell someone off in so many ways
You people that work at Walmart need to get corporate to train all checkout employees to be on the lookout for gift card purchases and intervene. Just think…you could be so old persons hero. (Or young…)
Shoutout to the people who were able to get into contact with Target and stop the lady from throwing her money away!! She should've listened to her husband who told her not to do anything.
Unfortunately, it looks like the solution is for the husband to take out everything himself and not let her have access to all family funds. This is crazy. I hope he somehow finds out what happened.
I sell phones at Walmart and had a lady in there with almost this exact scam going. She had $23000 in hand to give to a “federal agent” and had already given $23000 the day before. I stopped her and messed with the scammers before telling her to go straight home and file a police report.
Speaking as a husband who has had 2 wives....A wife will believe ANYONE over their husband. A fortune cookie, a 2 year old, Tronald Dump, literally ANYONE is more believable than a husband. (If a man speaks in a forest, and no woman hears him....is he still wrong?)
My 75 year old mother has also been drilled with these stories....Every time i see a new type in the media i text her, telling her what is the current scams going around. If she is the least bit in doubt she will ask me, before doing anything, until now it has only been questions that ended up being for legit stuff. But better to have 10 false alarms, than one scam.
I was able to get my mom ( she’s 95)aware of these calls and texts and emails. If she has any questions she calls me for verification. So thankful. She was getting scammed several years ago. She thought she was texting with a person she knew well. But never actually spoke on phone. I had a very difficult time convincing her it wasn’t really him. I actually had to threaten her over the phone not to text anymore and block him until I got over there to explain to her.
My daughter worked in retail, and her and her manager stopped and elderly man from making the mistake. They sent him to the PD to confirm whaet he was being told.he came back in the store crying and hugged my daughter and the manager because they saved him thousands on a scam.
@@franksilva2600 Someone dealing with an identity theft case in any capacity wouldn't be some entry level worker that can barely form a proper sentence together. Regardless of accents or anything else, they wouldn't speak with any of these mannerisms or constant mistakes and fumble over their words.

These scammers make my blood BOIL!!! I am so glad for the people that are fighting against this. My 22 year old son was almost a victim and if I hadn’t been sitting right beside him listening to the conversation and told him to hang up immediately he may have lost the money he had saved up for a down payment on his first home… I only knew it was a scam because of these type of channels… so Thank You ❤️
There was once a video I saw of a police officer called out to find an old woman at a gas store's ATM. The shop owner was worried the woman was being scammed and even when the police took the phone away from the lady. The scammer was still trying to tell her to put money in the ATM while the officer that was holding the phone was berating the scammer. The scammers are more toxic than radioactive waste, lower morals than snake excrement, and the confidence of a fool flying a plane down a mineshaft. These scammers do not deserve to even touch any device that has access to the internet. Much less something that needs batteries to run.
I work for Walgreens & have personally stopped people from buying cards. I tell them no one will ever ask for cards. If it’s a “relative” reaching out on social media to call the person personally & ask questions only they will know. If they still won’t listen, I deny the sale.
i agree, but it can also stop if our government puts pressure on these countries to make them stop. itll stop so quick if we pressure india government they will quickly start making arrests and giving super harsh penalties to scammers to the point that it will stop
It goes deeper than telecom companies at this point, it goes into government and police in on the scams in India because it is seemingly profitable... if they aren't directly in on these scams they intentionally let these things slide, I remember how hard it was before for the scambaiters to bring justice to these scammers, the centre's went down many times and moved to either other locations or word to the scammers and they don't work scams for a few days or a week
We have highly paid ambassadors & their staff in extravagant embassies in india,puxtan, bangadesh,nigeria, jamaica etc. Every federal agency ( SSA, Medicare, FBI, DHS,FTC, OIGs etc) as well as companies like amazon,spectrum, BBB,Microsoft, Apple, geek squad, PayPal, norton, etc. should force these megalithic embassies to nudge their host nations & shut down scams targeting Americans on American soil. If our ambassadors start filing police complaints against scammers & demanding their extradition on terrorism charges, the scammers,can be shut down.
There's nothing more crooked on this planet than a Kolkata cop. Scam centers were making about 60k USD per day about 2yrs ago. Only physical pushback will register in this case. I've read about some scammers being caught by New Delhi & while probably symbolically, they were sent to prison. Some of the scammers have their identities shared on Indian social media sites - everyday, good, decent Indians are frustrated with how they're having to share this awful reputation with scammers, despite living honorably & peacefully & working incredibly hard. Sometimes, scammers ID'd publicly are so devastated, they take a shortcut to that big gift-card rack in the sky. To that, I say LOL (lots of love).
This woman should have listened to her husband. How can anyone, especially in today's world, obediently follow the dictates of an unseen stranger on a phone and hand over their money?! It's shocking how gullible some people are. Great work as always, Pierogi!
@wallys11000 my dad is 62 and nearly got scammed while I was at school. LUCKILY he realized when he got in the car "wait this feels wrong". I've educated him on how the scaming works! 😂
At my target we strive very hard to prevent people from being scammed. We have a limit on the amount of gift cards you can buy in a day and any amount over $250 we talk to about scams going on before we complete the purchase. We’ve prevented several people from being scammed and it warms my heart.
the same protocols are in place at Walmart, I talked to a lady that was pretty shaken up about it once and described the exact process they used to her without her giving me any details, so she knew instantly it was a scam afterwards
@@CrunchyMom70 Best Buy has them, they are placed directly in the slot areas of the gift cards with example info on how to tell if you are being scammed. Those have been in place for years. I have never seen them at a Target and most Walmarts I have been to also neglect to have those signs up.
My mother was scammed thousands. Hearing the manger stop her, and your efforts. I have actual tears of happiness that he stopped her. Thank you for what you do ❤
I work at a retail store and they have us trained to keep an eye out and have a manager come if anyone try’s to buy gift cards especially if it’s multiple or an older customer more likely to be a victim
@@godzillagaming1794 👍 Don't think of it as training, think of it as common sense, as it should be. And it's good to know this is a thing 🙂 Somewhere...
So, I am on my dad's tablet right now. I've wanted to say this for awhile. My 80 year old dad is my hero and you sir. You are his, what you do is amazing. I will not say the name I operate under in full, but they call me Marshal. I hunt a different kind of scam artist. But none the less, brother I salute you. May God himself send you all the rewards you and your family may ever need or want. You are the kind of hero that we need more of. The fear you proficiently apply to the criminals you hunt makes you equal to a hundred men. I am proud of you and I want you to know I pray daily for your continued success. They should expect you
Had a guy call up the other day and he was talking to my nan. I got the phone off of her, and said "you're live on scammer payback." Never heard a phone hang up so quick
I've gotten through their auto dialer screening and interrupted 'Kevins' script to ask him how it felt to such a dribbling moron who imagines he's fooling anyone. I ripped into him for a solid minute and hung up when he was so worked up he was yelling... The wet fart actually called me back from a different number asking for the lunatic who ranted at him just a minute ago. I did it to him again. lol.
Haha i was once called up be these people, i just said i did not know about any of what he was telling me about, but i had a friend called Jim Browning that i could transfer him to. Same result, the phone was hung up VERY quickly :)
He is but he’s going after the small fish instead of going after the Myanmar,loas, and Cambodia scammers who are run by the Chinese mafia and a serious threat to the world, Indian scammers barely even make a dent
The absolute irony of ignoring her husband, unloading her “stress” on the scammer, complaining about the weather, and then being saved from giving all their money away…pure poetry. Imagine if she was allowed to actually go thru with the scam..then she’s be truly stressed. Her poor husband lol, I’m glad you guys were able to intervene.
I still don't understand why people would go out and buy gift cards? Can't they see what's happening? So freaking sad. And that woman wouldn't even listen to her husband?
Since when does a woman listen to her husband! The husband listens to his wife or he'll never get any anymore! Have none of y'all ever been married??? :D
Listen man, I imagine we're all pretty tech savvy here or at least interested in it. It's easy to forget how many people don't mess with tech, TH-cam, or even the Internet really
If they don't answer the call , You have possibly only one crack at sending one text message."Alert: gift card scam from India - stop - think- go to the police "
I just got a call this morning with them pretending to be my internet provider..I went along pretending for a few mins then mentioned scammer payback….he then tells me scammer payback hasn’t been making videos for months because of apple…I said no you’re just annoyed that you are getting closed down…then I got called a whole lot of expletives that I won’t mention here to which I laughed at and then he started laughing..he ran out of expletives eventually. It was entertaining for me anyway and kept someone else from being called. 😂
Pierogi , You are the quintessential of an American hero. My nerves cannot understand how your nerves can go through something like that without getting a stomach ache. You saved that lady and her family! Most of us never change the lives of strangers for the good. God bless you.
@@fooey88yeah, we would definitely have big problems if my wife didn't listen to me in this situation. Fortunately my wife has more than three brain cells.
It's disturbing to see how cruel people can prey on the innocent and vulnerable. But it's commendable how hard you guys work to outsmart these scammers and take necessary actions. Your collaborative effort to save the victim was truly remarkable.
They also live in one of the the top 10 dirtiest cities in the world. Just look at the garbage everywhere. No pride in their country. This scamming behavior is a product of their environment.
I was so stresssed watching this so glad you guys could stop this. I’m honestly amazed how people could be so gullible and fall for these ridiculous scams
A year ago my 89 year old grandfather was scammed by these evil people, he didn't need to go anywhere because he gave them remote access to his computer and they drained his bank account along with his savings and pension, I couldn't help my grandfather at the time because I was not in the house at the time. It brings me hope seeing this channel doing everything you can to stop more people from becoming victims and destroying these scammers in the process.
Oh.. I’m so so sorry Trent, please,please try to be there for him. I wish him well. One day these disgusting scammers will get exactly what they deserve.
Dear Pierogi. I received a text telling me that my free trial is about to expire so my account will be charged $444.00 dollars to renew and to call this number if I want to cancel. Pierogi you taught us about this scam so i did'nt open it. I read as much of it that I could by pulling the text down without opening it. Pierogi if it were'nt for you, I would have fell for this scam. Thankyou so much Sir
@@ARedMotorcycleand @laalii123 do you guys NOT understand the whole point of this channel? Is people being scammed all the time everyday. Be THANKFUL that this channel helped this person to understand that this was a scam instead of questioning their intellect about not really noticing. Great that you or I would. Not everyone can notice right away. Good grief 😮💨
@ARedMotorcycle just because our generations are comfortable with technology doesn't mean everyone is. Why do you even watch these videos with that attitude?
I continue to be mind-boggled that someone would think someone with an Indian accent is representing the US government. That woman is GULLIBLE. I'm 9 minutes into the call, I hope she wises up EDIT: Thank you, Corbin!!!!
Notice they all use Christian Names and most of the time Muslims Hindus Buddhists Sikhs never use real names as it gives the game away. Am Indian born educated but have a Catholic name so they are sometimes confused as Indians know it is all about first or last names. Last name is father's so even a first Christian name has to adopt the surname of the Father. Catholics/Christians in India also have Western surnames. Like D'Souza
Channels like scammer payback and Kitboga have helped me stay motivated during my cyber security journey. I've been focusing on pig butchering and romance scams, it gets me so heated and frustrated I have to take breaks. Thank you so much for staying dedicated to helping victims.
@@CarinaPiersay Basically scammer gets you to fall in love with them then starts asking for money. Like fattening a pig up and then taking it to slaughter.
@@CarinaPiersay Pig butchering is just a nickname for particularly bad scams (usually also a romance scam) that involve long and complicated plans that target at getting as much money from the victim as possible, any way possible. They often target lonely people who they think will have a lot of money or even crypto, and will drag it on for months or even years.
@@TheMostOrdinaryMan My brother just mentioned the pig butchering thing to me the other day. I think he used the term incorrectly though. Very sad what can happen to scammers that try to leave or deceive. Gives a whole new perspective to things.
I would be immediately suspicious of someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be working for a secure government agency. Not intended as r*cist, just that I don't see them passing ITAR regulations. Microsoft, suXfinity, crApple,, Amazon, etc have plenty of overseas call-centers (and the legitimate ones can be helpful too). But their actions tell me 'this isn't something a legitimate company would be asking me to do. And when they'd claim "Oh, too much got credited to your account" 'd be saying 'well, YOUR system messed it up, it needs to do the reversal transaction on it's own.
This is sooo brilliant- thank you all soo much. I am a home health nurse- and have taken care of too many older folks who have been scammed out of thousands of dollars- heartbreaking. You all are doing a great service:)
I was so happy! I called the Pharmacy to let them know that Pierogi was trying to call target guest services. I was super nervous and wondering if they believed me or not. Google maps said it was a CVS within the Target. I also tried to find the phone number for the Starbucks inside the store too, but couldn't. Big props to Corbin on getting through.
Hurrah for the Blue Team. What a perfect outcome to a horrible situation. So glad there were folks watching this live and could help you intervene. Let's go!!!!
I remember this on livestream. It was SO stresssy hearing this and all I could do was pray on the behalf of this woman. So glad someone was able to get through and stop her from losing everything. Thank you to those who made this happen.
@@sewgardens If he didn't call the Target that first time, I don't think me and Corbin would've know which one to call. "Thank you for calling the East Baton Rouge Target...". I just thought to myself that the Pharmacy always picks up eventually and Corbin was persistent with guest services.
LOVE everything you're doing. My business lost $150k due to a scammer. We are so meticulous with out firewall and our PHISHing email checks but they tapped into our business and figured out a large purchase we were making. They created an account with the business email with a small change and stole all the money. My office manager was devasted that she fell for it. Please get rid of these revolting people!
The two most tense things in a scambait call are waiting for the victim to answer and then getting them to believe the scammers are liars. The greatest thing in a scambait call is the moment the victim realizes it all and is safe. Huge, huge, props to Corbin Payback for stepping in and helping.
the worst part of watching these videos is just feeling so worried and angry about the victims falling for the scammers. But the happy feeling when they get saved. I live for it.
The worse part of watching these videos is working out where the 'magic of video editing' has been utilised to make it more exciting for the viewier and increase the likes... 😂
@Corp0ralPunishment well would you like a straight forward video of woman gets scammed but the last second gets saved? Yeah editing makes it more exciting. It'd be boring to watch a 5 minute overview.
So much love and respect to Pierogi and the whole SP network for doing what you do! Thank you for looking out for unsuspecting people who’ve been scammed, and working hard to expose the scammers. You are living proof that not all heroes wear capes! 💙💙💙
It’s ridiculous to me that you Pierogi can get all of this information and footage yet our authorities worldwide can’t do the same and competently enforce the law and shut these scumbags down ! Love all that you and your team do Pierogi 👍❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm sure it's a huge grey area for the government and they typically just err on the side of caution. Sucks, but we should be glad some of them are working with Pierogi.
You guys are great. One of you were watching a scammer about to scam me on line, you froze my screen and flashed the words DONT DO IT onto my screen. Saved me at the last moment. GOD bless you all.
the idea of a scammer is to throw something at you so your thought processing goes out the window you don’t have the chance to step back and think is this legit and of course preying on the vulnerable
It literally brought me to tears. I'm so glad that she was able to be helped by people who are actually doing the right thing. You're amazing!! My grandmother actually got scammed twice with gift cards. Fortunately, my grandparents have a lot of funds, but still, it's horrible.
I used to receive phone calls from these scammers. I reserve and use all my foul, bad, ugly, worst,ear damaging, life lasting language with these people. Now I am not getting any call from these.......
These creatures are beyond disgusting. Truly frightening that people still fall for this ancient scam. Thank you for continuing to expose these thieves ✔️👍✔️
God I'm so glad that guy in Target helped her. It's beyond me how she was warned by her husband not to do anything with the money and she just completely disregarded him...
Not to be mean, but how does someone believe their money is safer on a card than their CASH MONEY IN THEIR OWN HAND??? It doesn't make any sense... Breaks my heart for those who have been scammed. 😔
When you stress someone out and adrenaline starts pumping often times people don't think through what sounds off. Especially when talking to someone who sounds like they know what they're doing and are offering you aid to "save" you from this imminent danger. It's disgustingly easy to scam people, especially when people get into desperation mode. If you were at risk of losing everything I imagine the oddities wouldn't occur to you right off because that wouldn't be your main focus. Not to mention that a lot of scam artists are *really* good at sounding legit, terrifyingly good. The amount of times my parents have believed a scam that even made me almost believe it is scary.
@@Lurkerlady that is fair. People can’t handle stress and rationality goes out the window. Maybe that’s a cultural issue, that things have become so easy and relatively stress free, that when people are put in these positions they literally panic and have no idea what to do. It’s sad really.
That was awesome stopping that scam on your livestream..Thanks for everything that you and others are doing to educate about and prevent scams. Naming and shaming the bosses hopefully will alert the Authorities in India (not holding my breath). Keep up the good work 👍🥰
I could feel my heart rate go up when she was in Target.... thankfully she didn't lose all her money... I'm so surprised scammers are using gift card scams though. Thankfully they haven't all evolved to more sophisticated levels...
i was right there with you. i couldn't help but feel the frustration of being powerless to help that poor lady but it was oh so satisfying when the store manager showed up right in the nick of time. what a beautiful community. i hope those heartless scammers get locked up someday.
It baffles me that this works. Broken english, malapropisms galore, requesting someone to perform a series of seriously shady actions (the kind you see in countless tv shows and movies), and the scammer claiming a vast conspiracy. Then add at this point every store in America has signs telling people about scams. At this point, they deserve it
I hate the scammers more than anything. I got scammed close to thirty thousand dollars. I hate myself that I was so dumb and stupid to trust them so easily. Every time when I think about it, it made me so mad.
Sweet she was saved from being taken, last week we had an elderly crippled man come into my hardware store trying to buy gift cards "to use online" which made no sense, I couldn't get up there in time to talk to him and the cashier said when he found out the cards were only good at our store he said he was going to the grocery store across the street (we are a small town of 4000 people). So I called the owner of the grocery store but when he answered, he said he wasn't in town but he would call the store. I was sick to my stomach all day. The next day, the owner came into my store and I asked him about it, they had gotten to him before he purchased the cards and found out in fact was being scammed. I felt a lot better after that! People who prey on the elderly are just pure evil.
I have a company called SRS trying to scam me, saying I have a payday loan that i didn’t pay. lol, I’ve never taken out a payday loan. They keep saying that they will serve me and have scheduled a delivery to my house
Dude.... honestly why the government does not make a law for the companies to place a warning sign in those cards to inform people about the risk of a scam?
Saw the save live and it was an amazing stream. Way to go Corbin and Brandon for calling and helping to save the victim! We were all ecstatic when Corbin said that he was the one talking with the manager who intervened with the victim. This is why I love the SP community so much. Seeing the confrontation was awesome too. Much love to Pierogi, the SP team, and the SP community. ❤💙❤
Great work. We small business people work so hard for literally the basic wage in todays economic environment and a theft of the last amount of money we have can finish us.
Hey that’s me😎🙏🏽 So glad I was able to connect with Target and stop the victim from buying any more gift cards.
You're amazing.
We need a pic of your blue hair ;)
You owned this, my friend! Well done! Thank you so much for everything you continue to do! Much love. 💖

The shop owner was worried the woman was being scammed and even when the police took the phone away from the lady. The scammer was still trying to tell her to put money in the ATM while the officer that was holding the phone was berating the scammer.
The scammers are more toxic than radioactive waste, lower morals than snake excrement, and the confidence of a fool flying a plane down a mineshaft.
These scammers do not deserve to even touch any device that has access to the internet. Much less something that needs batteries to run.
You’re insulting the snake excrement
@@CarinaPiersayThis is true, even snake excrement has better morals than these... monsters.
@@RaiderAvian It sucks when they don't pick up and usually those places with the Bitcoin ATMs don't take things seriously.
Reorganize scammers into the Untouchable Caste? Bet.
She ain't listening to her spouse
She deserves to get scammed. I thought married people are supposed to work together
I work for Walgreens & have personally stopped people from buying cards. I tell them no one will ever ask for cards. If it’s a “relative” reaching out on social media to call the person personally & ask questions only they will know. If they still won’t listen, I deny the sale.
Have to give props to that insider. Risking their life to record a scam call center in-person to further show to many people online.

Scammers will always be a problem in our society. We need telecoms companies to do something about this.
i agree, but it can also stop if our government puts pressure on these countries to make them stop. itll stop so quick if we pressure india government they will quickly start making arrests and giving super harsh penalties to scammers to the point that it will stop
It goes deeper than telecom companies at this point, it goes into government and police in on the scams in India because it is seemingly profitable... if they aren't directly in on these scams they intentionally let these things slide, I remember how hard it was before for the scambaiters to bring justice to these scammers, the centre's went down many times and moved to either other locations or word to the scammers and they don't work scams for a few days or a week
We have highly paid ambassadors & their staff in extravagant embassies in india,puxtan, bangadesh,nigeria, jamaica etc.
Every federal agency
( SSA,
Medicare, FBI,
DHS,FTC, OIGs etc)
as well as companies like amazon,spectrum, BBB,Microsoft, Apple, geek squad, PayPal, norton, etc. should force these megalithic embassies to nudge their host nations & shut down scams targeting Americans on American soil.
If our ambassadors start filing police complaints against scammers & demanding their extradition on terrorism charges, the scammers,can be shut down.
There's nothing more crooked on this planet than a Kolkata cop. Scam centers were making about 60k USD per day about 2yrs ago. Only physical pushback will register in this case. I've read about some scammers being caught by New Delhi & while probably symbolically, they were sent to prison. Some of the scammers have their identities shared on Indian social media sites - everyday, good, decent Indians are frustrated with how they're having to share this awful reputation with scammers, despite living honorably & peacefully & working incredibly hard. Sometimes, scammers ID'd publicly are so devastated, they take a shortcut to that big gift-card rack in the sky. To that, I say LOL (lots of love).
It's not a problem in our society. It's a problem in Indian society.
This woman should have listened to her husband. How can anyone, especially in today's world, obediently follow the dictates of an unseen stranger on a phone and hand over their money?! It's shocking how gullible some people are. Great work as always, Pierogi!
Can you imagine the stupidity? Not believing ur husband but an outsider. I'll never understand that.
I got scammed bad right after my hubby passed. Doing better now though.
@@wallys11000 gift card?
You don't know what she's gone through and how the scammer was able to make her believe him.
@wallys11000 my dad is 62 and nearly got scammed while I was at school. LUCKILY he realized when he got in the car "wait this feels wrong". I've educated him on how the scaming works! 😂
My gods... the way the community helped almost brought tears to the eyes! Wow!! Well done all!!
At my target we strive very hard to prevent people from being scammed. We have a limit on the amount of gift cards you can buy in a day and any amount over $250 we talk to about scams going on before we complete the purchase. We’ve prevented several people from being scammed and it warms my heart.
the same protocols are in place at Walmart, I talked to a lady that was pretty shaken up about it once and described the exact process they used to her without her giving me any details, so she knew instantly it was a scam afterwards
They need to have large signs about buying gift cards for people who are falling for these scammers
@@CrunchyMom70A lot of places actually do; I’ve seen them I’m Walmart.
Shut up with your bullshit, you were not even picking up his call
@@CrunchyMom70 Best Buy has them, they are placed directly in the slot areas of the gift cards with example info on how to tell if you are being scammed. Those have been in place for years. I have never seen them at a Target and most Walmarts I have been to also neglect to have those signs up.
My mother was scammed thousands.
Hearing the manger stop her, and your efforts.
I have actual tears of happiness that he stopped her.
Thank you for what you do ❤
Yep, teared up as the manager intervened!
I work at a retail store and they have us trained to keep an eye out and have a manager come if anyone try’s to buy gift cards especially if it’s multiple or an older customer more likely to be a victim
@@godzillagaming1794 👍 Don't think of it as training, think of it as common sense, as it should be. And it's good to know this is a thing 🙂 Somewhere...
Big hug to you
@@DyingCr0wcommon sense is the as common as you think it is that’s the problem. Lots of people without it out there unfortunately
If Pierogi can't prevent it, his community will. Thanks to the power of a community full of loving fans.
So, I am on my dad's tablet right now. I've wanted to say this for awhile. My 80 year old dad is my hero and you sir. You are his, what you do is amazing. I will not say the name I operate under in full, but they call me Marshal. I hunt a different kind of scam artist. But none the less, brother I salute you. May God himself send you all the rewards you and your family may ever need or want. You are the kind of hero that we need more of. The fear you proficiently apply to the criminals you hunt makes you equal to a hundred men. I am proud of you and I want you to know I pray daily for your continued success.
They should expect you
Had a guy call up the other day and he was talking to my nan. I got the phone off of her, and said "you're live on scammer payback." Never heard a phone hang up so quick
I've gotten through their auto dialer screening and interrupted 'Kevins' script to ask him how it felt to such a dribbling moron who imagines he's fooling anyone. I ripped into him for a solid minute and hung up when he was so worked up he was yelling... The wet fart actually called me back from a different number asking for the lunatic who ranted at him just a minute ago. I did it to him again. lol.
YEAH!!! VICTORY!
Haha i was once called up be these people, i just said i did not know about any of what he was telling me about, but i had a friend called Jim Browning that i could transfer him to.
Same result, the phone was hung up VERY quickly :)
@@JohnDoe-bd5szI lead em on...they haven't called me in months now. 😂
Can we please appreciate the fact Scammer Payback team is one of the few TH-camrs who are actual good people.
Yes 100%
He is but he’s going after the small fish instead of going after the Myanmar,loas, and Cambodia scammers who are run by the Chinese mafia and a serious threat to the world, Indian scammers barely even make a dent

@@TracyJackson23That sounded weird to me too.
The absolute irony of ignoring her husband, unloading her “stress” on the scammer, complaining about the weather, and then being saved from giving all their money away…pure poetry.
Imagine if she was allowed to actually go thru with the scam..then she’s be truly stressed. Her poor husband lol, I’m glad you guys were able to intervene.

@@DavidGreene-kf3tw Also the disrespect for hubby is bad, he may have earned disrespect but no woman *wants* to be intimate w one she doesn't respect.
You have no idea....I busted out crying when the manager entered. I love when we can stop scammers.
I still don't understand why people would go out and buy gift cards? Can't they see what's happening? So freaking sad. And that woman wouldn't even listen to her husband?
Since when does a woman listen to her husband! The husband listens to his wife or he'll never get any anymore! Have none of y'all ever been married??? :D
If that is your situation then you picked the wrong woman. That sounds like mental torture.

@@ZlayaCo6aka😅
Stress and manipulation, they’re very powerful tools
At my store, we don't sell more than 5 gift cards at a time and after 3 we are required to hand out an anti-scam leaflet.
very sensible.
should hand it out with every ticket over a specific value... especially if its an older vulnerable person...
If they don't answer the call ,
You have possibly only one crack at sending one text message."Alert: gift card scam from India - stop - think- go to the police "
True
He sends text messages .. that's the typing you can hear
@sunsetshadow He didn't mention, but he always also sends texts. She was so stressed because BELIEVED the Scammer , that she ignored them.
Exactly what I was saying to myself as I watched the video
Bbc program does tht here in the UK sometimes it works but also causes a lot of confusion
I just got a call this morning with them pretending to be my internet provider..I went along pretending for a few mins then mentioned scammer payback….he then tells me scammer payback hasn’t been making videos for months because of apple…I said no you’re just annoyed that you are getting closed down…then I got called a whole lot of expletives that I won’t mention here to which I laughed at and then he started laughing..he ran out of expletives eventually. It was entertaining for me anyway and kept someone else from being called. 😂
Pierogi , You are the quintessential of an American hero. My nerves cannot understand how your nerves can go through something like that without getting a stomach ache. You saved that lady and her family! Most of us never change the lives of strangers for the good. God bless you.

Stress makes people think illogically, especially when there’s someone on the line that seems like they’re trying to help you through it.
It's disturbing to see how cruel people can prey on the innocent and vulnerable. But it's commendable how hard you guys work to outsmart these scammers and take necessary actions. Your collaborative effort to save the victim was truly remarkable.
They also live in one of the the top 10 dirtiest cities in the world. Just look at the garbage everywhere. No pride in their country. This scamming behavior is a product of their environment.
Wouldn't a simple text massage have also worked?
I was so stresssed watching this so glad you guys could stop this. I’m honestly amazed how people could be so gullible and fall for these ridiculous scams
A year ago my 89 year old grandfather was scammed by these evil people, he didn't need to go anywhere because he gave them remote access to his computer and they drained his bank account along with his savings and pension, I couldn't help my grandfather at the time because I was not in the house at the time. It brings me hope seeing this channel doing everything you can to stop more people from becoming victims and destroying these scammers in the process.
Could the bank help to get his money back ?
Happening to my 85 yr old dad as we speak
Oh.. I’m so so sorry Trent, please,please try to be there for him. I wish him well. One day these disgusting scammers will get exactly what they deserve.
This is why Im glad my grandmother is a racist. She absolutely refuses to speak to anyone with an Indian accent.
Why was your grandfather using an Administrator Account?
"Dat izz derr reezon"!
Dear Pierogi. I received a text telling me that my free trial is about to expire so my account will be charged $444.00 dollars to renew and to call this number if I want to cancel. Pierogi you taught us about this scam so i did'nt open it. I read as much of it that I could by pulling the text down without opening it. Pierogi if it were'nt for you, I would have fell for this scam. Thankyou so much Sir
Wow, then that says a lot about your intellect if you would fall for this. "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Not everyone can notice right away. Good grief 😮💨
@ARedMotorcycle just because our generations are comfortable with technology doesn't mean everyone is. Why do you even watch these videos with that attitude?
I continue to be mind-boggled that someone would think someone with an Indian accent is representing the US government. That woman is GULLIBLE. I'm 9 minutes into the call, I hope she wises up EDIT: Thank you, Corbin!!!!
Notice they all use Christian Names and most of the time Muslims Hindus Buddhists Sikhs never use real names as it gives the game away. Am Indian born educated but have a Catholic name so they are sometimes confused as Indians know it is all about first or last names. Last name is father's so even a first Christian name has to adopt the surname of the Father. Catholics/Christians in India also have Western surnames. Like D'Souza

Channels like scammer payback and Kitboga have helped me stay motivated during my cyber security journey. I've been focusing on pig butchering and romance scams, it gets me so heated and frustrated I have to take breaks. Thank you so much for staying dedicated to helping victims.
What is pig butchering? I guess I’m asking if it’s a term for something other than butchering pigs
@@CarinaPiersay Basically scammer gets you to fall in love with them then starts asking for money. Like fattening a pig up and then taking it to slaughter.
@@CarinaPiersay Pig butchering is just a nickname for particularly bad scams (usually also a romance scam) that involve long and complicated plans that target at getting as much money from the victim as possible, any way possible. They often target lonely people who they think will have a lot of money or even crypto, and will drag it on for months or even years.
@@TheMostOrdinaryMan My brother just mentioned the pig butchering thing to me the other day. I think he used the term incorrectly though. Very sad what can happen to scammers that try to leave or deceive. Gives a whole new perspective to things.
Try leaving a text message to the ongoing/potential victim if they don't pick the call
He does. He just didn't mention it in this upload. His team also does. Remember they were ALSO calling.

"This is a case of Federals"...sounds pretty serious.

"Federals"? Is this scammer-speak for feral cats?
I would be immediately suspicious of someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be working for a secure government agency. Not intended as r*cist, just that I don't see them passing ITAR regulations. Microsoft, suXfinity, crApple,, Amazon, etc have plenty of overseas call-centers (and the legitimate ones can be helpful too). But their actions tell me 'this isn't something a legitimate company would be asking me to do.
And when they'd claim "Oh, too much got credited to your account" 'd be saying 'well, YOUR system messed it up, it needs to do the reversal transaction on it's own.

Can't believe I literally cried when the manager intervened. Thank you blue team and SP.
The manager which I spoke to Juan, deserves some credit for sure :)
Me too!
I was so happy! I called the Pharmacy to let them know that Pierogi was trying to call target guest services. I was super nervous and wondering if they believed me or not. Google maps said it was a CVS within the Target. I also tried to find the phone number for the Starbucks inside the store too, but couldn't. Big props to Corbin on getting through.
Hurrah for the Blue Team. What a perfect outcome to a horrible situation. So glad there were folks watching this live and could help you intervene. Let's go!!!!
I remember this on livestream. It was SO stresssy hearing this and all I could do was pray on the behalf of this woman. So glad someone was able to get through and stop her from losing everything. Thank you to those who made this happen.

LOVE everything you're doing. My business lost $150k due to a scammer. We are so meticulous with out firewall and our PHISHing email checks but they tapped into our business and figured out a large purchase we were making. They created an account with the business email with a small change and stole all the money. My office manager was devasted that she fell for it. Please get rid of these revolting people!
The two most tense things in a scambait call are waiting for the victim to answer and then getting them to believe the scammers are liars. The greatest thing in a scambait call is the moment the victim realizes it all and is safe. Huge, huge, props to Corbin Payback for stepping in and helping.
So true,, and well said! Love to my fellow ginger!! 🤗🥰💜🌸

the worst part of watching these videos is just feeling so worried and angry about the victims falling for the scammers. But the happy feeling when they get saved. I live for it.
The worse part of watching these videos is working out where the 'magic of video editing' has been utilised to make it more exciting for the viewier and increase the likes... 😂
@Corp0ralPunishment well would you like a straight forward video of woman gets scammed but the last second gets saved? Yeah editing makes it more exciting. It'd be boring to watch a 5 minute overview.

Amen
It’s ridiculous to me that you Pierogi can get all of this information and footage yet our authorities worldwide can’t do the same and competently enforce the law and shut these scumbags down ! Love all that you and your team do Pierogi 👍❤️❤️🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

People sadly let fear overwhelm them, or some are just not mentally all there, others lack critical thinking
@@greyfox37or what happens most of the time is that the person being scammed just knows nothing about the internet or technology

@@fightingtosurvive6527 very!
What i don’t understand is, how do people not realise it’s complete BS when they’re told to get thousands of dollars of gift cards…
They're stupid, that's why.
Because it's "federal".
When you stress someone out and adrenaline starts pumping often times people don't think through what sounds off. Especially when talking to someone who sounds like they know what they're doing and are offering you aid to "save" you from this imminent danger. It's disgustingly easy to scam people, especially when people get into desperation mode. If you were at risk of losing everything I imagine the oddities wouldn't occur to you right off because that wouldn't be your main focus. Not to mention that a lot of scam artists are *really* good at sounding legit, terrifyingly good. The amount of times my parents have believed a scam that even made me almost believe it is scary.
@@Lurkerlady that is fair. People can’t handle stress and rationality goes out the window. Maybe that’s a cultural issue, that things have become so easy and relatively stress free, that when people are put in these positions they literally panic and have no idea what to do. It’s sad really.
@@MattH-l3iAnyone can be taken off guard, confused, frightened and scammed. Even Jim Browning got scammed into taking all his videos down.

I could feel my heart rate go up when she was in Target.... thankfully she didn't lose all her money... I'm so surprised scammers are using gift card scams though. Thankfully they haven't all evolved to more sophisticated levels...
Thank the live stream folks! I was literally praying the victim to stop listening to the scammer! It was so intense!
i was right there with you. i couldn't help but feel the frustration of being powerless to help that poor lady but it was oh so satisfying when the store manager showed up right in the nick of time. what a beautiful community. i hope those heartless scammers get locked up someday.
It baffles me that this works.
Broken english, malapropisms galore, requesting someone to perform a series of seriously shady actions (the kind you see in countless tv shows and movies), and the scammer claiming a vast conspiracy.
Then add at this point every store in America has signs telling people about scams.
At this point, they deserve it
I don’t understand how people still go along with the scam when they mention getting Gift Cards from Target
"Security Badges"- said no scammer ever.😅😅
Yessss!!!! I love what you guys do! Thank you for helping me inform my parents about all of these scammers. ❤
I was holding my breathe the whole time! Lets go Corbin!!!
As soon as the scanning stopped I teared up.
Thank God you stopped her!
I hate the scammers more than anything. I got scammed close to thirty thousand dollars. I hate myself that I was so dumb and stupid to trust them so easily. Every time when I think about it, it made me so mad.
Hoe did it happen?
Sweet she was saved from being taken, last week we had an elderly crippled man come into my hardware store trying to buy gift cards "to use online" which made no sense, I couldn't get up there in time to talk to him and the cashier said when he found out the cards were only good at our store he said he was going to the grocery store across the street (we are a small town of 4000 people). So I called the owner of the grocery store but when he answered, he said he wasn't in town but he would call the store. I was sick to my stomach all day. The next day, the owner came into my store and I asked him about it, they had gotten to him before he purchased the cards and found out in fact was being scammed. I felt a lot better after that! People who prey on the elderly are just pure evil.
Listening to that scammer is making my blood boil...
I was at the edge of my seat feeling like i was watching a movie, and finally the hero won
I have a company called SRS trying to scam me, saying I have a payday loan that i didn’t pay. lol, I’ve never taken out a payday loan. They keep saying that they will serve me and have scheduled a delivery to my house
Tell them that's fine, give me the delivery date and time and I'll have the police here waiting for you ;)
If a random person with an Indian or a foreign accent calls you and tells you to do stuff with your money DON'T DO IT IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT !
What has happened to people, when did they get this gullible?
This was great! Way to go Corbin and Brandon! Way to go Pierogi and the SP Team appreciate all you do
Your videos are incredible. Pierogi and team are phenomenal
💯‼ well said Lady Notebook!! 🥰💜🤗
Not selling cards to people while they're on the phone would be a great store policy.
Bless the good samaritan in your chat for stepping up to be a hero! Thank God!
Fantastic work Corbin and Pierogi! SP RULES !!!!
maybe instead of terminating the processes, halt/pause/freeze/suspend the process so it looks like the program is just slow
That really was AWESOME. I honestly was on the edge of my seat
Have you tried 'text messaging' the victims? I NEVER answer a number I don't know but I'll read messages.
That’s a good question! I don’t ever pick up a number I don’t know. I figured if it’s important they’ll leave a voicemail
Thats literally what the typing sounds are from
P did text messaging her, but he got not received any response from the lady 💖
Ahh, so a gift card = security badge. I hope I can get into a military base just by showing my Walmart/Target/Best Buy gift card. Smh.
everyone knows you can get into Area51 with an Target and Wallmart "security badge"
Great video like always, keep up the good work!
Dude.... honestly why the government does not make a law for the companies to place a warning sign in those cards to inform people about the risk of a scam?
Scammers always tell lies or start being hostile when they are exposed. all scammers are like that or they even block the person.
And they have an answer for everything, baffling folks with bullshit.
Saw the save live and it was an amazing stream. Way to go Corbin and Brandon for calling and helping to save the victim! We were all ecstatic when Corbin said that he was the one talking with the manager who intervened with the victim. This is why I love the SP community so much. Seeing the confrontation was awesome too. Much love to Pierogi, the SP team, and the SP community. ❤💙❤
If Target is always the target, shouldn't there be an alert system when somebody is buying so many high-value cards?
Most Target stores watch out for that. I bought gift cards at Christmas & was questioned. That made me happy.
Great work. We small business people work so hard for literally the basic wage in todays economic environment and a theft of the last amount of money we have can finish us.
When calling the victim cellphone and they do not pick up just send a text message. People read texts.
Great story bro. One for the good guys. Thank you and everyone
So excited to watch a new one!!! Love this channel!!!
I was waiting for you to text her phone a bunch of times explaining who you are and to not take that money out of the bank
Brandon was probably doing that! They always phone and text. Pierogi just didn't mention that here. The live stream viewers know
Thats literally what the typing sounds are
