Bravo to YOU! I had to deal with a scammer for a year! They told me I was some man who owed, like, 400 dollars to an online cash advance place. I'm an elderly, but nor stupid, female. They told me cops were going to come arrest me. I laughed at them and told them I KNEW they weren't in this country b/c we don't jail people for debt, here! They harassed me with calls at all hours of day and night. No one would help! Not my service provider. Not the police. I was on my own. So, I got a whistle. It took a while, but they finally stopped.
As an Indian in the US, I feel ashamed that the majority of the scammers are from India. I have personally gotten calls from these scammers and the moment they figure out (from my name), that I'm Indian, they abuse me in Hindi and hang up. Hats off to you for spreading awareness!
@@sruggiero86 circumstances. most of the people have had cold hearted experiences in life. lack of trust, humanity in general. the world has always been against the people for centuries - conquered first by mongols and then british and now by the west (mentally). poverty is what drives their behaviour. I do not support their act and scam, but the above are probably some of the reasons.
Well, they are criminals - albeit "white collar" criminals. Most criminals lack morals and is why they continue to do crimes after being caught and even punished.
I loved your year in review video, Jim. Wishing you continued success in 2022 :) Incidentally, came across an imposter using your name and avatar on this channel in December. He was reported to TH-cam.
I’m in technical operations with a major telecom company, for over 15 years. I always thought I was too clever to ever fall for anything like that. I got scammed about 4300 usd this time last year. It sucked!! Whole family paid for my errors.

As someone that works in Credit card fraud for a large bank thank you for doing this. It is gut wrenching to see each and every day how many people fall victim to these scams.
@@Marc-io8qm I would say a good 85% of them are at least 60+ As for demographic, I have seen people from all walks of life. Those with $1,000 credit lines and those with $100,000 credit lines. It makes no difference there sadly.
I believe they target people based on first names - I get many calls, because my first name is old-fashioned. They always call on the land-line; It's nice to be forewarned. Only family and scammers call the land line, basically.
Dude, you are truly the man! I consider myself technically savvy, but even I came close to getting scammed once. If not for a bit of additional searches last minute, I could’ve been out hundreds of dollars myself. These guys are extremely convincing! It takes a strong man to stand for those who can’t. It takes a great man. an absolute LEFEND, to choose to head the charge! Very proud of you my friend for the skill to impact the world and a heart that’s even greater than the knowledge. Keep up the amazing work kind sir!
When my son was about to be born I was in such a weak emotional and mental state I almost succumbed to a scam myself, and I consider myself above average tech savvy. It was just truly a moment of mental fatigue.
Thanks for doing what you do my friend. My Grandmother was hit by scammers last year and was taken for $5,000, It's people like you fighting the good fight to stop this from happening to someone else. Not all heros wear capes, some have blue and orange hair and are called Perogie. Cheers my friend and keep up the great work.
When you called the Elderly Woman and spoke to her so kindly it made me happy. Good on you to help those who are taken advantage of! Screw the scammers
Love that this guy literally calls people up and helps them out. Many blessing to you man. Keep up the good work! These scammers are the "Bed Bugs" of the Earth. Literally the worst insects ever created
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis.. Perspective and context count when having these discussions. For example, imagine you work from age 21 to 65, hopefully to build a savings and nest egg to retire. You retire, then some scammers come through and steal everything you saved. Then at 65 you either work or go live with someone. You don't think that's a bad crime? I do.... Sure there are worse criminal acts than this. But for me, hate scammers more than anything else.
I get so much pleasure watching you take them down. I'm a senior in the US and they call me and try to scam me...so I waste their time then hang up lol. Pierogi, I love you!!! you're a super hero.
Hopefully that scammer is so embarrassed, they go base jumping off a tall building without a parachute. I heard the Hindu religion has some great perks in the afterlife.
I wonder how much it would cost to rent a billboard where these scammers live and put their pics up so their family and friends know exactly what they do for a living. I'd donate money to make that happen.. might be the easiest way to shame them and make them stop. Just imagine the ones worried their pic would be next and the cascading effect it could have.
@@notme2day that would be awesome! But I've got a more evil and twisted approach. I have the personally identifiable information of several scammers and of their immediate family members as well (parents and children). I wonder how these scammers will react when they find themselves up for sale on the black market as slaves. Since India has no laws, they can't do anything to get this removed.
@@notme2day or even more evil with the billboard approach. Photoshop images of the scammers french kissing other scammers and eating steaks. As being gay and eating beef are both major violations of the Hindu religion. Both of those things are outlawed in the Hindu religion.
You don't know how many calls I get a day by a scammer and have almost fell into a few until watching your TH-cam channel, I can't imagine what the folks who've lost money must feel, but I bet it ain't good. A HUGE THANK YOU for what y'all are doing!! They have no souls and no heart. Now every time I think I'm being scammed I give'em a mouth full and hang up on them. Again THANK Y'ALL for what y'all do!!!
I am a former U.S. Marine and you just became my all-time greatest hero. For years, I hoped and dreamed that there would be people like you who could shove those scams up the back sides of the scammers. I'm also a journalist who has wanted for years to do a story on phone and email scammers. Would love to interview you. Keep it up.
I’m glad there’s a platform that people can get educated about scammers I was taken for 20k it took me 2 years to realize that I was being played it wasn’t all at once it added up that’s why they get away with this
@@FungusUSMC Wish there was a sure-fire, viable way to reconnect with some of my really close buddies from back then. There has been TogetherWeServed for years, but it's not designed very well so I doubt I'll ever find them. I've accepted it now. Semper Fi right back at ya
I had them call me the other day telling me that there was a package intercepted at the border filled with drugs and money under my name. Tried to keep them on the phone as long as possible and then in the end I began demanding my drugs and money. Thanks to you I always know when it’s them and try to waste their time as much as I can.
@Ellie Bouchard you would think that they would be scared to pretend to be law-enforcement. They have another scam too that they pretend to be law-enforcement. He was telling me they were coming to arrest me because I was playing around on the phone. 🤣
Hi Perogi. I just wanted to Thank you as I received a scam call a couple of days ago. Normally I would have fallen for this but, as I have been watching your channel I knew what was happening. I'm so grateful to you for the awareness you provide. 😃
My favorite part is when you talk to the ones be scammed. And how much you care. I am a. New supporter!! Thankyou for helping those who can't help themselves. You and your team are 100% DOPE
When I first started watching this genre of video, the draw really was watching y'all run circles around the scammers and wasting their time, but the more I watch I think my favorite part is when the victims are contacted especially if they can be helped out at all. It's real nice to see that support be given.
That ending tho! 😂 You're saving countless people! More power to you, Sir. I hope that that day isn't far off when these guys run out of tactics to scam, because of your content reaching every U.S. household, and to people around the world.
Can you start helping people whose accounts have been hacked ?? Because FB help is miserable. lot of people need your help. Thanks for what you are doing ❤
It’s hilarious what your doing. A stupid scammer is no match for a smart guy like you. I laughed so hard. I’m new to your channel. I subscribed and I love what your doing. Thank you for caring for the rest of us. We need more people like you in our corner. I am blown away.
Dude, i have been off sick in bed flipping through something good to watch. Might i just comment you on all the amazing work you are doing. We need more people like you on this earth. You are truly a gem, and i want to applaud you, and your team in all your efforts to rat out these scum of society, praying on vulnerable people. You are truly a huge huge star and inspiration in my eyes. Keep up the frickin good work. You deserve a bells ⭐
Yeah, and when someone with my skin color who works in the industry points this FACT out, they are told we're just being prejudiced as if it's not just a numerical fact.

Maybe bring this up with your therapist?
I'm from the UK and had trouble with scammers but I know how the scam works so I never fall for the scan but your channel has opened my eyes to other scams they use and keep up the brilliant work you do 👍
Hey, justice may not always come of as wonderful. sure he shows it to us like a piece of cake but we never know how much effort he puts behind the scene
Always a blast in keeping these scammers at bay, and maybe making them think twice. Happy New Years, scammers, may you squirm when dealing with Vivian. Take care, and all the best.
I just found your webpage. You are an absolute GENIUS!!! Vigilante Justice at its absolute finest! Within the past few weeks, I started to get calls from a Sirius call center (or so they claimed) and I do subscribe to Sirius service so at first it didn't seem suspicious. Then I realized they were calling me from MY same area code here on the west coast; (360) and you'd expect an 800 or 888 area code from most companies. I blocked the number immediately but I almost fell for their scam, asking for my credit card account number. Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!
There's happiness, then there's joy, then there's elation....and then there is this! Watching scammers get scammed this bad is the next level of PURE ELATION! Keep up the amazing work.
I just love you.. im a senior and I love watching you try and help people who have been scammed by those people. I love it when you call those guys out on their crap... keep up the great work that you do... You Are Awesome!!! Thank you for what you do to help protect people and help to get those guys busted and blasted out!!!
When I have a rough day helping scammed clients at the bank. I love to watch these videos to help me sleep. Wish we could do more to stop this from happening.
When I came across your channel YEARS ago, I was entertained by you screwing with scammers. Over the years, you have morphed into this wonderful champion for good. Good for you. As some wise human once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
These videos bring me so much joy, especially when you are able to help the victims of the nasty scammers. Keep up the great work and awesome content 😊
I appreciate you so much!! They NEED to get back what they give to people. I'm so tired of the calls coming in and I don't tell them anything! Good for you man!!
Oh my.gosh, you are so amazing!!! Doing this to the scammers, is just what they need! I try to waste their time, but I wish I had your computer skills! I've talked to 3 scammers in the last few days. The first one said I won the publishers clearing house sweepstakes and I won a brand new car, plus $35,000 dollars. All I had to do was buy a "towing" card, that was really a visa gift card. I called him out, said he should be in jail etc, and he swore at me. Hung up. Second call was a lady saying my visa has some suspicious charges on it. Called her out eventually too! I like to waste their time. Third guy said he was from stars air ambulance and I won a cash prize. He told me to write lots of numbers down etc. I called him out too. And hung up on him. I hate that they r scamming all these vulnerable people, and I appreciate what are doing! Keep up the great work!!! 👍
This world needs more "anti scammers" like you!!! Keep exposing them its always worth a watch and I now know, "hopefully" what to look out for when I'm old and they try and take advantage over me... Also I know more so what to warn my elderly or technology illiterate family members about
Probably akin to the sunken cost fallacy, they suspect it's a joke but don't want to risk losing the money if it's just a weirdo on the phone. Once they commit a couple hours toward scamming someone it's hard to give it up until they are absolutely sure they won't get anything. Plus, they keep previous victims on file to revisit later, so they lose potential future money too.
I just came across your channel over the last week and watched several of your videos. Great work! Ironically, I actually got a call from one of these scams tonight from “Amazon customer service” about a fraudulent I phone 11 purchase! I was actually kind of excited since I was prepared from watching your videos. I also always wondered how they would react if you agreed to whatever charges they say you got. I told him I did order the I phone and he was caught off guard. Then after telling him two more times that I did order it, he got mad, swore at me, then hung up. Lol. Didn’t know where best to post this so posted in the community too. Thanks P for your work.
😂😅😅 sounds like fun convo you had with that guy . I had numerous calls like this my dad same mainly they call you after you post a add to gumtree somehow they get peoples numbers from there because as soon as the add goes live tons of scam calls happen 😫😠 I hate those guys so disrespectful
Happy New Year Pierogi! I am so happy you’ve been able to call the victims lately and giving the scammers a chance to choose to help with information! It really brings things to the next level! It’s kind of gross that guy is getting old people to say “Mike Hawk.”
I just stumbled onto this. Thank you so much. I have always thought that we need more vigilante hackers. You guys could literally run the world. It is great to see you using this talent to help people. Thank you. Thank you.
Ground Reality: In India it is so difficult to track these people; not every local cop will help you when you reach and track the location and try to catch him. I appreciate what you are really doing.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
You sir are almost the modern Robin Hood. Thank you for what you do! I would say you are the modern Robin Hood if there was a way to take back the money they stole from these older victims.
I’ve watch tons of your videos and every time they keep getting funnier and funnier. I love when they call and tell me they’re from the Canadian tax service. I one time kept the guy on the phone for 2 1/2 hours letting him go through his entire script and having to think on his feet it was hilarious in the end he got nothing and never will for me. I’m not as tech savvy as you are in catching these guys I figure the longer I can keep them on the phone the last time they have for scamming people that don’t know about this yet.
You gave him a prime opportunity to get honest and turn his life around, however, he is in SO much Fear and Mental anguish as he should be, he can't make any rational decision in that STATE of mind or NO mind in which he is operating IN!!! You were clear and concise w him and straight to the point and he knew it!! Well Done..
I love it ! I have scammers calling me sometimes 5 times a day , and it gets old , I am between 60 and 100 years old and how they got my number I have no idea , but I don’t have the knowledge or the equipment to expose them like you do , If nothing else I waist their time . Keep up the good work
Happy New Year Perogi, and Happy New Year to each and everyone who watches these videos and enjoys the destruction and humbling of scammers, who deserve every single bit of karma they get smacked in the face with. :)
Now I'm binge watching these videos. The little old lady getting scammed was heartbreaking. Elderly people can't hear or see very well and they might think the scammers are helping them. They are so vulnerable. I have answered the phone for my Mom once and it was the "fix your computer" scam. I politely told them they were lying because she didn't own a computer.

When my son was about to be born I was in such a weak emotional and mental state I almost succumbed to a scam myself, and I consider myself above average tech savvy. It was just truly a moment of mental fatigue.
Thanks for doing what you do my friend.
My Grandmother was hit by scammers last year and was taken for $5,000,
It's people like you fighting the good fight to stop this from happening to someone else.
Not all heros wear capes, some have blue and orange hair and are called Perogie.
Cheers my friend and keep up the great work.
When you called the Elderly Woman and spoke to her so kindly it made me happy. Good on you to help those who are taken advantage of! Screw the scammers
Pisses me off that they do they this do old people
Love that this guy literally calls people up and helps them out. Many blessing to you man. Keep up the good work! These scammers are the "Bed Bugs" of the Earth. Literally the worst insects ever created
They’re the Republicans of the earth
forgot about mosquitos.
Bruh these guys are not at all the wirst criminals. They use no violence and are pretty easily avoided.
@@derstoffausdemderjoghurtis.. Perspective and context count when having these discussions. For example, imagine you work from age 21 to 65, hopefully to build a savings and nest egg to retire. You retire, then some scammers come through and steal everything you saved. Then at 65 you either work or go live with someone. You don't think that's a bad crime? I do.... Sure there are worse criminal acts than this. But for me, hate scammers more than anything else.
Yeah, it'd be weird if he "figuratively" called them up.
I almost spit my coffee when you told him about the cat food
Yes, poison in the purported cat food was an extra story
I also laughed soo hard!!
“I’m just a vessel here.” That humble sentence would come from a hero like you. Keep at it! I love what you’re doing.
I get so much pleasure watching you take them down. I'm a senior in the US and they call me and try to scam me...so I waste their time then hang up lol. Pierogi, I love you!!! you're a super hero.
The whole world can see this guy’s face. They were losing it when that phone kept ringing. This is one of P’s best works of art!
sad thing is that personally for me -all indians look the same :D
Hopefully that scammer is so embarrassed, they go base jumping off a tall building without a parachute. I heard the Hindu religion has some great perks in the afterlife.
I wonder how much it would cost to rent a billboard where these scammers live and put their pics up so their family and friends know exactly what they do for a living.
I'd donate money to make that happen.. might be the easiest way to shame them and make them stop.
Just imagine the ones worried their pic would be next and the cascading effect it could have.
@@notme2day that would be awesome!
But I've got a more evil and twisted approach. I have the personally identifiable information of several scammers and of their immediate family members as well (parents and children). I wonder how these scammers will react when they find themselves up for sale on the black market as slaves.
Since India has no laws, they can't do anything to get this removed.
@@notme2day or even more evil with the billboard approach. Photoshop images of the scammers french kissing other scammers and eating steaks. As being gay and eating beef are both major violations of the Hindu religion. Both of those things are outlawed in the Hindu religion.
You don't know how many calls I get a day by a scammer and have almost fell into a few until watching your TH-cam channel, I can't imagine what the folks who've lost money must feel, but I bet it ain't good. A HUGE THANK YOU for what y'all are doing!! They have no souls and no heart. Now every time I think I'm being scammed I give'em a mouth full and hang up on them. Again THANK Y'ALL for what y'all do!!!
Did you block them?
I am a former U.S. Marine and you just became my all-time greatest hero. For years, I hoped and dreamed that there would be people like you who could shove those scams up the back sides of the scammers. I'm also a journalist who has wanted for years to do a story on phone and email scammers. Would love to interview you. Keep it up.
I’m glad there’s a platform that people can get educated about scammers I was taken for 20k it took me 2 years to realize that I was being played it wasn’t all at once it added up that’s why they get away with this
Still a Marine, not former.
Semper Fi
Got out many years ago too... Not as lean, not as mean, but always a Marine. Semper Fi bro!
@@FungusUSMC Wish there was a sure-fire, viable way to reconnect with some of my really close buddies from back then. There has been TogetherWeServed for years, but it's not designed very well so I doubt I'll ever find them. I've accepted it now. Semper Fi right back at ya
You are former marine,that's grand but it's irrelevant because video is about scam,right?
Thanks for helping that elderly lady.
Shame about your 'wife' and her untimely demise.
Stay strong, you're a good man.
For what it's worth, it truly did sound like an accident.
@@bakedbeansface yeah he would have been locked up for a very long time haha
Fully support what you’re doing. Imagine if the government wasn’t corrupt and they spent the time and revenue to stop these criminals.
Me being corrupt? That's unpossible ~~ Ralph
BTW is your name Mike Hawk? I heard that Kalkutta police are searching for a man whose name is Mike Hawk.
in India, sh*t works differently my friend.
let's go brandon
@@mf5531 It's always nice to root for your team in football or any sporting event, I guess.
This is unrelated tho.
Thanks! Keep up the good work!!!
I love this man you’re helping so many people that would otherwise be a victim
I had them call me the other day telling me that there was a package intercepted at the border filled with drugs and money under my name. Tried to keep them on the phone as long as possible and then in the end I began demanding my drugs and money. Thanks to you I always know when it’s them and try to waste their time as much as I can.
I do the same thing with those guys 🤣
@Ellie Bouchard you would think that they would be scared to pretend to be law-enforcement. They have another scam too that they pretend to be law-enforcement. He was telling me they were coming to arrest me because I was playing around on the phone. 🤣
Hi Perogi. I just wanted to Thank you as I received a scam call a couple of days ago. Normally I would have fallen for this but, as I have been watching your channel I knew what was happening. I'm so grateful to you for the awareness you provide. 😃
Proud of you Queen 🙌
The fact that his name is Mike Hawk 💀
Yeah, too funny! 🤣🤣🤣
Ahah
"You're connected to Mike Hawk." lol
I'm getting old. Almost to the end of the video and I just now got the joke
You suck Mike Hawk 😅
My favorite part is when you talk to the ones be scammed. And how much you care. I am a. New supporter!! Thankyou for helping those who can't help themselves. You and your team are 100% DOPE
Scammers are dopes.
When I first started watching this genre of video, the draw really was watching y'all run circles around the scammers and wasting their time, but the more I watch I think my favorite part is when the victims are contacted especially if they can be helped out at all. It's real nice to see that support be given.
Try to find the video with the glitter bomb ....i just love that
@@pizzabagerenmujaffa8123 is Perogi the same guy that did the glitter bombs?
@@stacysmith214 he worked with the glitter bomb guy, Mark Rober. Check out his channel. 🙂
@@stacysmith214 Also a couple Jim Browning stings with Mark Rober's glitter bombs. The collabs with these guys are magnificent.
Have you ever connected two scammer call centres together, that would be hilarious!
Thank you for all the victims you help ❤👍
Shut up. I’m a celebrity
Richard Gozdek - Scammer
@@MelROBLOX14 Shut up Richard Gozdek is a better Scammer
@@MelROBLOX14 How's that?
I want him to steal from scammers and send the money to the subs.
I still can't believe you actually learned their language for this. I salute you.
That ending tho! 😂
You're saving countless people! More power to you, Sir. I hope that that day isn't far off when these guys run out of tactics to scam, because of your content reaching every U.S. household, and to people around the world.
His Hindi is starting to sound more and more natural. I'm impressed. That's dedication.
Unfortunately, not his pronounciation.
@@cameronsworld9 Gotta start somewhere!
This dude is unbelievable. You are a genius. Saving a lot a people from these thieves.
Can you start helping people whose accounts have been hacked ??
Because FB help is miserable.
lot of people need your help. Thanks for what you are doing ❤
It’s hilarious what your doing. A stupid scammer is no match for a smart guy like you. I laughed so hard. I’m new to your channel. I subscribed and I love what your doing. Thank you for caring for the rest of us. We need more people like you in our corner. I am blown away.
Dude, i have been off sick in bed flipping through something good to watch. Might i just comment you on all the amazing work you are doing. We need more people like you on this earth. You are truly a gem, and i want to applaud you, and your team in all your efforts to rat out these scum of society, praying on vulnerable people. You are truly a huge huge star and inspiration in my eyes. Keep up the frickin good work. You deserve a bells ⭐
I feel so ashamed to see so many scammers are from my country, this is just so sad.
You are doing good work, more power to you!!
*@sanjana murthy.* They do not represent your country. They only represent their greedy self.
@@brahim119 exactly
Yeah, and when someone with my skin color who works in the industry points this FACT out, they are told we're just being prejudiced as if it's not just a numerical fact.
Sanjana Murthy You don't need to be ashamel in this world there are many bad people. It Doesn't matter if he's from our country or someone else's
can you please tell them that saying their name is "mike johnson" with the thickest indian accent out there is the furthest thing from convincing?
I love how Pierogi has so much fun. He really enjoys this. What a great guy and a great service he is doing.
unlike you
@@myy1008 Is there something wrong with you? Well, we can see there is by your strange comment, but, do you know why you wrote it? Worth a little self exploration, right? Sad that you feel threatened when a person praises another. As for me, you don't even know me, so why would you make such a strange comment and try to make it personal? Maybe bring this up with your therapist?
idk@@famouskate9071
This guy is to scammers what Chris Hanson was to predators! Bravo, good sir.
That's a great analogy!
unfortunately, they're already having a seat
But, sadly, without the crunchy brownies.
@@thetaekwondoe3887 or virgin margaritas
Not quite. Cause all the predators were met with police after leaving the house. Where as the indian police is completely useless 😏
I'm one of the older people and I'm always afraid of getting taken by one of these scammers. Great work exposing these bums.
Trust no one.
@@ROgletree That's good advice. I don't like to be that way but I have found out the hard way it is better to be cautious.
What a fantastic start to 2022....I love seeing behind the scenes. Especially the last few seconds - sssoooo funny. Thank you so much Pierogi! x
“Yes my name is Mike Hawk”
Gotta love how completely oblivious he is
"My name is Mike Hawk, Mike... Hawk." ahahaha I would've been absolutely crying 😂
I'm from the UK and had trouble with scammers but I know how the scam works so I never fall for the scan but your channel has opened my eyes to other scams they use and keep up the brilliant work you do 👍
The fact that you not only call these victims and warm them you also are willing to talk and help them fix it the best you can is just amazing👏👏
Love this you bring peace to so many good people that have been taken advantage of.
I'm glad to see you are giving the Scammers a taste of their own medicine. This is WONDERFUL Justice.
Hey, justice may not always come of as wonderful. sure he shows it to us like a piece of cake but we never know how much effort he puts behind the scene
Ever since I've found this page, I CAN'T STOP WATCHING YOU REVERSE SCREW THE SCAMMERS!!!!
AND, I don't do drugs however, THIS SHOW IS ADDICTIVE!!!!
Always a blast in keeping these scammers at bay, and maybe making them think twice.
Happy New Years, scammers, may you squirm when dealing with Vivian.
Take care, and all the best.
I just found your webpage. You are an absolute GENIUS!!! Vigilante Justice at its absolute finest! Within the past few weeks, I started to get calls from a Sirius call center (or so they claimed) and I do subscribe to Sirius service so at first it didn't seem suspicious. Then I realized they were calling me from MY same area code here on the west coast; (360) and you'd expect an 800 or 888 area code from most companies. I blocked the number immediately but I almost fell for their scam, asking for my credit card account number. Thanks so much for all your hard work!!!!!!!!!!!
Gosh, I get these calls all the time. I'm so glad someone is out there dealing with these people.
There's happiness, then there's joy, then there's elation....and then there is this! Watching scammers get scammed this bad is the next level of PURE ELATION! Keep up the amazing work.
I love how there are still good people in this world trying to help make the world an honest place. I love your videos man, keep up the good work.
You and your team are doing great things, saving people, educating people, freaking out and even getting the scammers arrested. Great work!
I just love you.. im a senior and I love watching you try and help people who have been scammed by those people. I love it when you call those guys out on their crap... keep up the great work that you do... You Are Awesome!!! Thank you for what you do to help protect people and help to get those guys busted and blasted out!!!
When I have a rough day helping scammed clients at the bank. I love to watch these videos to help me sleep. Wish we could do more to stop this from happening.
When I came across your channel YEARS ago, I was entertained by you screwing with scammers. Over the years, you have morphed into this wonderful champion for good. Good for you. As some wise human once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world."
These videos bring me so much joy, especially when you are able to help the victims of the nasty scammers. Keep up the great work and awesome content 😊
I appreciate you so much!! They NEED to get back what they give to people. I'm so tired of the calls coming in and I don't tell them anything! Good for you man!!
Oh my.gosh, you are so amazing!!! Doing this to the scammers, is just what they need! I try to waste their time, but I wish I had your computer skills! I've talked to 3 scammers in the last few days. The first one said I won the publishers clearing house sweepstakes and I won a brand new car, plus $35,000 dollars. All I had to do was buy a "towing" card, that was really a visa gift card. I called him out, said he should be in jail etc, and he swore at me. Hung up. Second call was a lady saying my visa has some suspicious charges on it. Called her out eventually too! I like to waste their time. Third guy said he was from stars air ambulance and I won a cash prize. He told me to write lots of numbers down etc. I called him out too. And hung up on him. I hate that they r scamming all these vulnerable people, and I appreciate what are doing! Keep up the great work!!! 👍
I love how he keeps a straight face when he’s telling the scammer how he poisoned his wife.
Could’ve used your help a few years back with my parents. They were scammed out of around $5K!!! Love what you do!!!
🤗
This world needs more "anti scammers" like you!!! Keep exposing them its always worth a watch and I now know, "hopefully" what to look out for when I'm old and they try and take advantage over me...
Also I know more so what to warn my elderly or technology illiterate family members about
The work you do to selflessly help protect people you don't know is amazing. Really great team you have there!!
I love it when these guys become obviously suspicious of you, but then they still keep trying to scam. There's a psychology lesson in there somewhere
Probably akin to the sunken cost fallacy, they suspect it's a joke but don't want to risk losing the money if it's just a weirdo on the phone. Once they commit a couple hours toward scamming someone it's hard to give it up until they are absolutely sure they won't get anything. Plus, they keep previous victims on file to revisit later, so they lose potential future money too.
I just came across your channel over the last week and watched several of your videos. Great work! Ironically, I actually got a call from one of these scams tonight from “Amazon customer service” about a fraudulent I phone 11 purchase! I was actually kind of excited since I was prepared from watching your videos. I also always wondered how they would react if you agreed to whatever charges they say you got. I told him I did order the I phone and he was caught off guard. Then after telling him two more times that I did order it, he got mad, swore at me, then hung up. Lol. Didn’t know where best to post this so posted in the community too. Thanks P for your work.
😂😅😅 sounds like fun convo you had with that guy . I had numerous calls like this my dad same mainly they call you after you post a add to gumtree somehow they get peoples numbers from there because as soon as the add goes live tons of scam calls happen 😫😠 I hate those guys so disrespectful
The more of these I watch, the more I appreciate you and your guys! Thanks for what you do.
That story about the wife honestly made me keel over... I genuinely can't believe you stayed straight for that! 😂
Happy New Year Pierogi! I am so happy you’ve been able to call the victims lately and giving the scammers a chance to choose to help with information! It really brings things to the next level! It’s kind of gross that guy is getting old people to say “Mike Hawk.”
pierogi was the one who said the name first as a joke lol
@@TheSuperCoolMan122 Oh okay!!! Lol!!! At least the joke is on the scammer then! 😹
Pierogi should say his name is Ural Kokks, Urinya Moufs or my fav Spurm Gergler
Yeah I gotta admit, I love the fact you called the victims to check up on them. That kinda sold me on your channel.
I just stumbled onto this. Thank you so much. I have always thought that we need more vigilante hackers. You guys could literally run the world. It is great to see you using this talent to help people. Thank you. Thank you.
And the evil ones ?
Bro, you are a good man doing amazing things for effectively helpless individuals. Keep fighting the good fight!
"How do you know that?"
"I have ESPN"

Man the government and cops should be paying you guys for helping them out keep up the good work
Ground Reality: In India it is so difficult to track these people; not every local cop will help you when you reach and track the location and try to catch him. I appreciate what you are really doing.
Great work fighting these low life scumbags. We need more people like you doing this work.
2 things. 1. I LOVE THE ENDING. 2. Who in their right mind would learn another language just to get revenge. OH THATS RIGHT SOMEONE SMART AND AWESOME. seriously proud of you. if I were your mom, legit I ALMOST could be (I am 44). This is something beautiful how y'all, the whole group that got together this year, are such kind souls who use your smarts for good! Pleasant green, DEYO, Jim Browning and more. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
You sir are almost the modern Robin Hood. Thank you for what you do! I would say you are the modern Robin Hood if there was a way to take back the money they stole from these older victims.
Not all heroes wear capes! LOVE IT! Thank you so much for what you're doing!
I’ve watch tons of your videos and every time they keep getting funnier and funnier. I love when they call and tell me they’re from the Canadian tax service. I one time kept the guy on the phone for 2 1/2 hours letting him go through his entire script and having to think on his feet it was hilarious in the end he got nothing and never will for me. I’m not as tech savvy as you are in catching these guys I figure the longer I can keep them on the phone the last time they have for scamming people that don’t know about this yet.
You gave him a prime opportunity to get honest and turn his life around, however, he is in SO much Fear and Mental anguish as he should be, he can't make any rational decision in that STATE of mind or NO mind in which he is operating IN!!! You were clear and concise w him and straight to the point and he knew it!! Well Done..
I love it ! I have scammers calling me sometimes 5 times a day , and it gets old , I am between 60 and 100 years old and how they got my number I have no idea , but I don’t have the knowledge or the equipment to expose them like you do , If nothing else I waist their time . Keep up the good work
Happy New Year Perogi, and Happy New Year to each and everyone who watches these videos and enjoys the destruction and humbling of scammers, who deserve every single bit of karma they get smacked in the face with. :)
This awesome looking man is a true hero! I love these videos!
👏🏻 Congratulations, not only you're good at giving them payback, you're also good at making fun of them and making entertaining videos. Subbed
Now I'm binge watching these videos. The little old lady getting scammed was heartbreaking. Elderly people can't hear or see very well and they might think the scammers are helping them. They are so vulnerable. I have answered the phone for my Mom once and it was the "fix your computer" scam. I politely told them they were lying because she didn't own a computer.
Huge kudo's my friend, you and Jim are clearing the world. One scamster at a time...
*hats Off*
