these scammers are absolutely disgusting.

Thank you so much for these videos, they really have helped me so much.
He needs complete anonymity to do this that he does. Having a team is not as secure as him doing it himself. Also, Jim has a LOT of power by accessing others computers and getting social security numbers, credit cards, etc. He would not trust just anyone with that information. Know this. Jim Browning is the ONLY person who is smart, noble and honorable enough to do this sort of work.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with that phrase "I know a few things" or not but it means that the person using it knows a lot about whatever topic it is. It doesn't literally mean few.

It’s amazing the steps you take to actually get rid of a whole operation not just one individual. Forget the one million you should receive a TH-cam’s hero award
Jim, you are really opening the eyes of the victims as well as would be victims. Thank you for your such n important eye opening useful program. Keep it up.
I'm imagining the grandma explain what happened to her kids. "I was in the middle of getting scammed out of my savings but this mysterious gentleman called Dave called me and warned me. just in time"
@Ø Parkrr How can you scam poor old people out of their life savings? You know these scammers have to be rich at this point getting hundreds, if not thousands per pop, so also why continue? It's so fucked up.
For real, imagine being in the middle of getting scammed, and suddenly having another guy get on the line going "Alright this other guy is trying to scam you you need to turn off your computer now"
I know how you feel, i work for loss prevention here. And i have plenty of stories about people falling for these scam, and it is highly unlikely to have the money returned. No one like to have the conversation, so please remember the basic "buyer be aware"
I love how the US has a cyber crime division to try and counter this shit and then you have this badass over here like hold my beer and let me show you how its done. This man is a absolute god with the work he does
i would also suggest if we look deeper into the problem that alot of those firms beside scammers provide utilities as online phone services/web-developers are totally free of any responsabilty what so ever. if you say to a man a gun is legit and you can use it where and when ever he will ..He will use/abuse it. There are more than just layer in this problem imo.
i imagine that the cyber crime division is spending their time looking for a solution that would span over all cyber crime whereas while what jim does is amazing, hes only hitting one base at a time
The amount of crime on the internet is staggering. Seriously. You could double the FBI’s budget, use all of the extra cash for just combating cybercrime, and not have nearly enough. And they have to catch even worse people. Child predators and the like. Don’t get me wrong, Jim is great but there isn’t enough money in the US budget to really bring a stop to this shit. There isn’t enough in the entire Five Eyes even. Nor if you tack-on the EU. The bright side is that I’m sure all of those people at law enforcement are in absolutely no hurry to find and charge this guy for crimes he’s committed himself by hacking these scammers back.
While I agree Jim could easily fit in with the flock fighting against APT nation sponsored cyber threats, Cyber crime is the third place after natural disasters that could actually collapse the economy all together, so people with his skill level are busy in the high ranks fighting against others with same level. But It’s a good thing Jim chooses to use his skills for the public and do his own thing !
Jim, as an Indian, I have a feeling that Police department isn't even opening your emails and if they're opening, they're not taking it seriously (not even reading them completely) & same goes for Hathaway. I don't know if this will work or not but try contacting Cybercell (they're more likely to read it and take it seriously) and/or You can tweet this to Indian PM, Foreign Minister & The Minister of Communication & Ask your followers to make that tweet viral. This may end this nuisance once and for all.
The BBC documentary that Jim was in has an interview with the police. They said that there's really nothing they can do unless an actual victim files a complaint.
@@amaldesai6323 But it's like saying a murderer can only be caught if his victims complained. Crime is happening right in front of their eyes but they won't do anything about it
I adore you, Mr B! I really like your complete anonymity and willingness to cross the line into the gray area to tackle scammers. Sadly, despite the growing amount of "good guys" the hackers are winning, with rare legal penalties of any weight. Most are back to work despite deliberately encouraging folks -- often elderly and well educated Americans and Europeans -- as trained mules to launder $$ often out of fear. It's very seductive and too successful. People like you are going to need to ratchet up your catches and hits bc they far outweigh you guys ☹️🧐😕😠
I think they're lots more out there, tackling different crimes. Like Mark Rober is absolutely destroying package thieves, and Jim is destroying scammers. Also, I think there are lots more out there that doesn't upload it to TH-cam.
@@TheWitchfinderGenral Don't know, but there's no way they'd extradite them for a white collar crime like that. It'd be way too much hassle for a bunch of low life nerds.
Man ive only recently discovered you but i really really respect what youre out here doing. the fact that you called her as soon as she hung up with the scammer to warn her was amazing. keep up the good work man
Don't be surprised if the scammers have local law on the take?. THAT happens fairly often...& Is tempting to their local enforcement officers, 3x their yearly salary is still a drop in bucket for impunity for the scammers?
Jim has the calmest voice ever. It is so smoothing to listen to. Btw I am addicted to the whole idea of reversersing and dismantling the scams. Well done!
It's probably more complicated than that seeing as how these scammers are not US citizens and the relative harm they cause is probably not much compared to other things the FBI has to deal with. IDK, just a thought.
When I saw the scammer messing around in someone else's bank account I felt uneasy and started to feel physically sick. That person had over 100k in savings that they worked hard for and probably was looking to retire with and those good for nothing dirty scammers are stealing from her and she is totally oblivious. I am so glad you intervened and saved her from getting scammed. I don't know how in hell these guys can steal money from innocent hard working people without their entire soul crippling. They truly are evil and will burn in hell.
I felt the same especially when I heard she was an old lady around 75 ..these scammers would have almost taken one' s hard earned life savings ...was almost about to skip a heart beat 😬
"I've noticed I have a strange email?" "Yes, so I need to take control of your computer and access your bank." The scary part of this is that people fall for it.
You are a hero really saved her from spending her old age in poverty, those scammers were about to wipe out her life savings with a few computer keystrokes. Amazing how naive some people really are.
Let's be honest if he wanted to he could probably be an Infamous hacker and make millions and probably get away with it. Glad he's doing good with his abilities
No he would get caught and get big jail time like others have. Remember there is always someone smarter than you on the computer. CIA and other intelligengence agencys have epuipment that can track you no problem.How do you think previous hackers have been caught
@@xxcattoxx544 i really hope this is an innocent comment about her haircut and not a comment about her personality because, ngl, judging a person you've never met based solely on haircut is a very typical karen behavior.
I need your opinion, i heard when many scammer got arrested they bribe the police and get out less than 2 week in jail because they already have so much money scamming for years. Is that true?
@@BearMeOut Yeah man, I came to know that most of their police will do anything they want for cash, especially the West Bengal police, most of them get bribed
Nice work. You have the ability to keep talking calmly to victims. It certainly helps because the victim listens to what you say. I so wish I had the computer knowledge to do what you do. If I could just stop one innocent victim I would feel so good about that, let alone what you do to disrupt their networks like your ability. A big thumbs up to you. Love watching you screw the scammers up
Jim, your voice is so soothing that you can keep me entertained while I'm having a terrible migraine! Thanks for that, I like TH-camrs who are calm and polite
Imagine if Jim became a scammer. He’d be unstoppable because he’d know to cover up these routes of reverse accessing and overall do it well because he knows the mistakes these scammers make.
the scammers dont get the money it just gets transferred to there boss and they only get paid a salary as of course the boss dosent want to do the dirty work
Yeah, but she called the scammers by her self. And from jimmy, who is for her a random stranger, se received randomly a call, saying to shut everything down without expecting it. So it's quite understandable.
yes, this is most probably the case this is why most scamming centres are from Kolkata and not from other famous 'cyber'-cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Pune
@Apple Jack some of high ranking government officials are the one who run these scam. Even some native Indian I met believe the ruling party also involved.
@Apple Jack Imagine the anime they could make. Kolkata: The Pirate King And its just some kid on his journey to become the overlord of dial tone bandits in the shit stain world of Kolkata
I honestly think if somebody was going to make a game called cyberpunk you'd be one of the main characters fighting scammers for the good of the people keep up the good work

He needs complete anonymity to do this that he does. Having a team is not as secure as him doing it himself. Also, Jim has a LOT of power by accessing others computers and getting social security numbers, credit cards, etc. He would not trust just anyone with that information.

And as someone working in support of a mobile company, one of my favorite cases is helping cx identify lame phishing and scamming attempts.
I know how you feel, i work for loss prevention here. And i have plenty of stories about people falling for these scam, and it is highly unlikely to have the money returned. No one like to have the conversation, so please remember the basic "buyer be aware"
I love how the US has a cyber crime division to try and counter this shit and then you have this badass over here like hold my beer and let me show you how its done. This man is a absolute god with the work he does
i would also suggest if we look deeper into the problem that alot of those firms beside scammers provide utilities as online phone services/web-developers are totally free of any responsabilty what so ever. if you say to a man a gun is legit and you can use it where and when ever he will ..He will use/abuse it. There are more than just layer in this problem imo.
i imagine that the cyber crime division is spending their time looking for a solution that would span over all cyber crime whereas while what jim does is amazing, hes only hitting one base at a time
The amount of crime on the internet is staggering. Seriously. You could double the FBI’s budget, use all of the extra cash for just combating cybercrime, and not have nearly enough.
And they have to catch even worse people. Child predators and the like. Don’t get me wrong, Jim is great but there isn’t enough money in the US budget to really bring a stop to this shit. There isn’t enough in the entire Five Eyes even. Nor if you tack-on the EU.
The bright side is that I’m sure all of those people at law enforcement are in absolutely no hurry to find and charge this guy for crimes he’s committed himself by hacking these scammers back.
Also what Jim does strays into a legal grey area. I doubt any law enforcement agency could legally use these same methods.
While I agree Jim could easily fit in with the flock fighting against APT nation sponsored cyber threats, Cyber crime is the third place after natural disasters that could actually collapse the economy all together, so people with his skill level are busy in the high ranks fighting against others with same level. But It’s a good thing Jim chooses to use his skills for the public and do his own thing !
Jim, as an Indian, I have a feeling that Police department isn't even opening your emails and if they're opening, they're not taking it seriously (not even reading them completely) & same goes for Hathaway. I don't know if this will work or not but try contacting Cybercell (they're more likely to read it and take it seriously) and/or You can tweet this to Indian PM, Foreign Minister & The Minister of Communication & Ask your followers to make that tweet viral.
This may end this nuisance once and for all.
Good information!
Yes contact our foreign minister on Twitter
The BBC documentary that Jim was in has an interview with the police. They said that there's really nothing they can do unless an actual victim files a complaint.
@@amaldesai6323 But it's like saying a murderer can only be caught if his victims complained. Crime is happening right in front of their eyes but they won't do anything about it

I adore you, Mr B! I really like your complete anonymity and willingness to cross the line into the gray area to tackle scammers. Sadly, despite the growing amount of "good guys" the hackers are winning, with rare legal penalties of any weight. Most are back to work despite deliberately encouraging folks -- often elderly and well educated Americans and Europeans -- as trained mules to launder $$ often out of fear. It's very seductive and too successful. People like you are going to need to ratchet up your catches and hits bc they far outweigh you guys ☹️🧐😕😠

It's probably more complicated than that seeing as how these scammers are not US citizens and the relative harm they cause is probably not much compared to other things the FBI has to deal with. IDK, just a thought.
When I saw the scammer messing around in someone else's bank account I felt uneasy and started to feel physically sick. That person had over 100k in savings that they worked hard for and probably was looking to retire with and those good for nothing dirty scammers are stealing from her and she is totally oblivious.
