    Jim Browning is a LEGEND... between him, Pierogi, Kitboga and a few others - they're making scammers lives MISERABLE.

      I mean not sure if Kitboga is on the same level. Jim exposes the scammers, warns victims and tries to help them, gets information to law enforcement (even though the police in India is complicit...). Kitboga steals like half an hour of their time, maybe they get a big angry and they will just go back to trying to scam the next person.

      @@KiinaSu I don't know how you define "same level". My point wasn't to try to rank all the people scam baiting... just pointing out that we have a small army of people that are making the scammers lives miserable. They all do their own part in wasting their time, stealing their files and getting law enforcement to take action against them. I see it as a team effort.

    Jim is the best! The kind of guy who makes us all wish we had his skills to to help give these scammers some form of payback and be a legit hero to many people. A few years back my mother sent me a text asking what I thought about a phone call she had received from from some "lawyer" or something. They were extremely rude and kept telling her she would be arrested. I told her it was certainly a scam and sent her a link to one of Jim's videos so she would have an idea of some of the kinda if things they will say. She was hooked, and literally binge watched a bunch of his videos and kept sending me links for like the next 2 weeks! She still watches his stuff and I have heard a few times how great he is as if I didn't turn her on to him 😂 All this just to say again: Jim Browning = literal hero and the fact that he actually exists makes him better than any avenger or justice league! THANK YOU JIM FOR ALL YOU DO! And send your older loved ones links to his videos as knowledge of these scams is the best deterrent. And who knows, you might just create another Jim Browning superfan! 😂

    I've listened to Jim with my elderly landlady, he's hilarious and my landlady can follow what he's saying. Thank you Jim! Thank you too Jack, my morning got a lot better today.
    1:03:59 My landlady was like that, it took a lot to convince her she was getting scammed, finally I got he to listen to me talk to the scammer and when she heard how rude and unproffessional she was it was the ladt straw. Thankfully she listens to me now when scammers reach out to her. She also really enjoyed listening to Jim, much appreciated!

    • @Pay-No-Mind
      @Pay-No-Mind 25 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's really tough not only knowing how many of these disgusting goblins are out there and the damage, suffering and financial ruin they cause, lives they cost! But what makes it so much harder and more heartbreaking is when someone clued up sees an elderly or vulnerable person in the midst of being scammed and about to buy the gift cards or deposit the money into a crypto ATM (That's the new method that's gotten very popular) and you politely stop them and let them know what's going on "No no it's Apple/Microsoft/The Sherriff/The FBI (?!)/Some other organisation with authority, they said that I've been hacked/etcetc and because of a mistake I made I need to pay them back $12,000" and when you calmly, politely outline that they're not who they say they are, even if you pull up articles and news stories of people being scammed with the exact same method and story the person might still not believe you, it's even harder if they're suffering with Alzheimers/dementia and instead of having family or living in a facility they're just home alone sitting waiting for a scammer to call and realise they're the "perfect target", I've had it before twice where I was alerting someone that they were in the middle of being scammed and at risk of losing their money they were so embarrassed and even ashamed they stuck their heels in and refused to believe me no matter how much reassurance I gave them, so I called the police and alerted the staff member(s) at the checkout.
      (One of those times the staff didn't even care or do anything!)
      Like with what happened to you I've found the best way is to convince the scammer you've caught them and they aren't getting their money because they turn VICIOUS and shout/scream the most disgusting vile shit they can with their limited English, which of course no legitimate company is going to do.
      Law makers & legislators, the police and other authorities need to care and do more.

    There's a reason these scammers use suspicious methods like automated voices, spelling mistakes in messages and often contain at least 1 red flag. It's because if someone is smart or aware enough to notice the text to voice speech, spelling errors or blatant techno jargon, they won't fall for your scam. By making obvious mistakes you stop people who won't fall for your scam ever calling you back.
