@Kuku Patel Probably Grey Hat I'd say. In the IT industry: White Hack Hackers need the permission of the system owner. Black Hat Hackers hack without the permission of the system owner with personal or financial gain in mind. Jim Browning probably best falls under Grey Hat: no permission of the system owner, but without personal or financial gain. Even then, I know some that would say Jim's work could be considered Black Hat just because there is no permission in mind, just as with Hacktivism (hacking with a political goal in mind ... not necessarily personal or financial gain, but usually considered Black Hat).
"Although I wasn't able to find the scammer's name, I was able to find his family, home address, all previous residencies, his son's school, his blood type, the number of atoms in his entire body, and his Wizard101 account."
@funmakinmoney99 if the religion is Muslim, is that mean its followers called Islam? 😂 It's just like saying: "hey I'm a christianity, and my religion is Christian." ... Dude, you're racist and also dumb! Your parents should be proud of you.
Sadly that would never happen. You would think companies would give Jim a reward for stopping fraud, or their agents a bonus for stopping scams but alas they just do not care. I worked in retail for many years and a while we are trained to detect gift card scams, we are often encouraged to let them happen as they inflate or stores daily sales. I once picked up on someone getting scammed, refused to do the transaction only for my boss to come out and take over because that $2000 would let us beat LY sales

I really like Jim Brownings videos, because he is one of the only people that actually has the guts to take action and take down the scam centers one by one as much as he is able to do so and while he's at it get the money back for the victims.

It's not childish. It still hurts them to have their time wasted so much, those other guys might just not have this person's skills, but they are still doing what they can.
@@jwoodside68 I agree partly. First off, I have a little bit of empathy for scammers because as seen in just about all scambaiting videos the vast majority of them is quite dumb and that might've at the time be the only sort of "job" they could find to keep their family or themselves fed. The vast amount of money people get scammed out of goes to those in charge of such call centres and generally a single person or even a few wasting peoples time will not bring one of these call centers to a halt. Without coordinated attacks, everyone who would fall for such a scam still in the end reaches the destination of their phone call. Even if a fair amount of people coordinate to attack a scam centre, they will if they don't automate the process bring its income to a stop for a few days tops and then get bored of constantly calling, eventually getting remembered and instantly hung up on etc. While it's an attempt to stop evil, I don't think the average person does much of anything that hinders the income of the center itself, especially if its one of the major ones.
Not really, they're all fake. He doesn't actually take down anything. Not a single IT professional watching this channel would believe what he is doing. The masses are fooled.
Even though Jim Browning is a different animal.. I still rather have scambaiters waste these Criminals time.. I don't care how childish it is it is still righteousness.. One less scammer time getting wasted equals to one less person getting scammed.. I know it's a bit childish but it's Righteousness... What Jim Browning is doing is amazing and It's wonderful that he takes down all these Criminals with precision and with maturity..
@@abdulahosmanbegovic2479 Yes, they actually have at acknowledge and sign that they are aware of the scam going around and that if they buy these we cannot refund them.
@@dreamergaming7772 As someone who works for a grocer with gift cards, this is the unfortunate reality. If we can't convince them, the only thing we can do is scare them into second-guessing these acts. Fortunately at my store, there's a 10-minute window to where we can void the transaction like it never happened, otherwise it's non-refundable. And I was able to get a couple of people to snap out of it long enough to kill it. I'm unsure if Best Buy has a similar system, but I won't pry.
MissMarvel ah geek squad treated one of my family members terrible, despite the fact she buys stuff monthly from them like expensive stuff! She bought a fridge and the doors were weird they weren’t on right like broken, and the asked geek squad and they said “Don’t worry, wait three weeks and they should be back to normal” basically she got scammed of her return thingy and got stuck with a broken fridge lol. Of course your probably not like that I just hope that geek squad member earns his place down under, for tricking a old lady lol
@@Unboundiing Oh damn, that's terrible! We're not taught to do anything like that, we want to keep clients, that guy sounds like a dick. Sorry to hear that bud. Yeah, I'm always honest and if I think a client can save money anywhere or do something themself, I will let them know. We don't get commission or anything. That agent sounds like they just didn't want to deal with it. How shitty.
I'm still thankful to Jim, way back in 2011 I was almost scammed out of 8000 USD. Apparently I was headhunted by a well off family in the UK as an aupair (I believed it cause they've claimed they were working with the legit company that I've registered with). After two weeks of talking with the "agency" and just about to have the money, I got an email from Jim telling me that he picked this up, oh how disappointed I was cos it was my life's dream at some point, but also amazed that someone would do something like that for a total stranger. You're still my hero up until today Jim 😶😶😶 ❤!!!
Jim: "If you're looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money... but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."
Yeah, it seems like a weird mix to me as well: on one hand what they're doing is kinda technical, but I guess it's also specific and straightforward enough that it's not more complex than most basic office jobs.
The scammer wasn't stupid they just made a stupid mistake. Oh, I'm using Yahoo when I meant to use Google search engine. Crap! I'll just search Google on Yahoo and call it good.
Probably cuz yahoo is *_BLOODY ANNOYING AND NEVER GIVES YOU WHAT YOU WANT_* Sorry about that. It just happened so suddenly. I’m just a bit *_ABSOLUTELY LIVID_* oh it happened again
Jim, You are such an AMAZING person. While I absolutely HATE these scammers I love your videos and get so excited when I see you have uploaded. Keep up the great work. Many people are so grateful.
Jim, that’s amazing work. You really were able to make an impact in the life of the scammed person. I have experience with Police in India and I think if you find such scammers henceforth, you should report them to the US embassy in India stating that these are mostly US citizens that are getting scammed. I’m sure that the US embassy in India, with its connections and with its heft, can make sure these criminals are brought to book. Just my 2 cents.
Scammers: “I’m here to steal your money” Jim: *No u* Edit: I’ve started a ‘No u’ war in the comments. I’d recommend you bring a stack of Uno Reverse cards in there for defense...
Gosh, I cant resist the title! My favorite type of content is when you can actually make vocal contact with the victim just before they get scammed and you manage to convince them that you are the good guy!
Geez just, wow man. You're amazing. You literally could had $2000 right there but you did the right thing. It truly brings a tear to my eyes. You are literally the best. Just, wow. Thanks!
In the next episode: Jim finds out scammer's exact address and fires missiles, using the codes he stole from the Kim's laptop while having a breakfast.
Jim you are a hero! I'm convinced that those who dislike your videos are in fact are the scammers themselves. How could anyone dislike your videos unless they're negatively affected by your videos as these scumbag scammers are. Keep up the good fight and never give up!
We need people like Jim to be paid by the government having their own branch and being the Anti-Scammer Division. Honestly, you're the doom-slayer to Scammers. The only thing they fear, is you.
Sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope she's doing ok. These scammers can wreck someone's life saving. I worked with this old man, he was running the payroll at the company. He passed his retirement age but was still working at the company (he'd been working there for most of his adult like). One day he called me to his office to speak to someone on the phone, who supposedly didn't speak English and only spoke Spanish. My Spanish isn't perfect but I could tell straight away that the person on the other side of the phone wasn't Spanish (in fact, he spoke Spanish with a thick English accent). I hung up the phone and informed this old gentleman that the guy wasn't Spanish and that it was probably a scam he was running (at that stage, I wasn't aware that the old man was defrauded of more than 50k GBP. The scammers wanted more money before they will transfer 11 million Euros from the Spanish Lotery (I think it was called Onze). The sad part, this old man was paying more and more, in the hope of getting his winning prize (he was blinded by the hope that it was a legit thing). Sad to say that when he finally realised that it was a scam, he had a nervous breakdown and had to be sent into retirement. His health deteriorated pretty rapidly after that. I wish your grandmother all the best.

Would be nice if the US and India companies and governments would cooperate on this rather than leaving it up to regular folks to scam bait just to try and waste their time
Jim, you are a HERO!! Keep up the good work! When you get in touch with the victims and save them from losing almost all of their hard earned money makes my heart smile! You are an absolutely amazing person!
I LOVED the reaction of the Best Buy employee. She's obviously someone who deals with similar incidents and has to talk on the phone with very upset people whom she most likely cannot help very much when the gift cards are already used.
Bestbuy lady: "So I searched our database for the purchase, is it about the -" Jim: "No actually the one above your cursor. You were hovering on it a second ago. And please don't play Pac-Man while you're talking to me!"
The work you do is absolutely priceless!! It is one thing for us scambaiters to waste the scammers time, but when you are able to help a victim get their money back, that is incredible!! Thank you so much for ALL you do!!
How there isn't an automatic flag on any giftcard purchase over $100 or something (or more than say 2 giftcards) that makes the website or check person say "btw no legit business would ever ask for gift cards, dummy" is beyond me.
There actually are big warning signs just above the gift cards at my local best buy. Looks like they're starting to realize there's something fishy going on
I was thinking the same thing. would've died if she said ok sir, i need you to go to walmart and buy new giftcards for the victim and we will refund you that money.
guys a genius and is really a down to earth person he’s doing this on his own time to help others that get taken advantage of around the world not just where he lives. I find that incredible keep it up i’m rooting for you!
It was so disappointing when he said, "I have forwarded all this info to the police, but I doubt they will do something". Being an Indian, I am disappointed. Please keep up the good work.
@@anonkjvn I would guess late 30s to mid 40s, and judging from his voice I would guess that he looks like a younger version of Liam Neeson, if that's any help.. :-)
@@gmac2018 Brilliant. I wonder how much the administrations of the English speaking countries involved the most in these scams, are aware of the size of the problem. It doesn't seem something small, considering the number of people names and personal info stored into scammers databases. Unfortunately India does nothing serious about it, considering they could use a lot bigger resources than Jim single PC. Jim is real HERO. If I was the person scammed for those gift cards, I would contact him not only to say thanks personally, but also to make him a real gift!
delpinsky There’s just little incentive for the Indian police to do anything about it. Unlike something like Interpol we don’t have great interpolice connections between the western world and India. As well as that, it’s not their own people they are scamming, but people in foreign nations. Therefore there is little call for them to do anything about these crimes rather than the ones of their constituents. Politicians are unlikely to crack down on it until there is more pressure externally on it from foreign countries, but honestly it’s unlikely many foreign countries will do anything about it, because what they’d lose in foreign trade is much more than what the western politicians care about some old people being scammed who don’t realise their politicians even could do anything about it because they’re not tech savvy. It’s all just a terrible situation all around tbh.
Thank you so much for all the work you do on this channel. I myself got scammed out of $1000 some years ago and it burns me up inside that not only did I fall for the scam but so many other people do too.

Not really, they're all fake. He doesn't actually take down anything. Not a single IT professional watching this channel would believe what he is doing. The masses are fooled.
Even though Jim Browning is a different animal.. I still rather have scambaiters waste these Criminals time.. I don't care how childish it is it is still righteousness.. One less scammer time getting wasted equals to one less person getting scammed.. I know it's a bit childish but it's Righteousness... What Jim Browning is doing is amazing and It's wonderful that he takes down all these Criminals with precision and with maturity..
Kolkata police must be like 'AGAIN?!' every time Jim emails them with details of a new scammer.
sadly they remove everyday report....
I don't think they know how to use emails.
Kolkata police literally be like 🕺🕺🕺⚰️🕺🕺🕺 whenever Jim emails them about a scammer.
They don't read the emails anyways. Cause they don't actually do any police work. Just sit around their police department drinking tea.
The scammers are bringing money into the country, the police don’t care. It’s a shame, really

How
Do you have some policy where you question customer when he’s trying to buy 500+$ gift card ?
@@abdulahosmanbegovic2479 Yes, they actually have at acknowledge and sign that they are aware of the scam going around and that if they buy these we cannot refund them.
@@dreamergaming7772 As someone who works for a grocer with gift cards, this is the unfortunate reality. If we can't convince them, the only thing we can do is scare them into second-guessing these acts. Fortunately at my store, there's a 10-minute window to where we can void the transaction like it never happened, otherwise it's non-refundable. And I was able to get a couple of people to snap out of it long enough to kill it. I'm unsure if Best Buy has a similar system, but I won't pry.
The way you tied up the stolen money and got it back to the right person was genius. Real outside-the-box thinking. Well done

She bought a fridge and the doors were weird they weren’t on right like broken, and the asked geek squad and they said “Don’t worry, wait three weeks and they should be back to normal” basically she got scammed of her return thingy and got stuck with a broken fridge lol.

I'm still thankful to Jim, way back in 2011 I was almost scammed out of 8000 USD. Apparently I was headhunted by a well off family in the UK as an aupair (I believed it cause they've claimed they were working with the legit company that I've registered with). After two weeks of talking with the "agency" and just about to have the money, I got an email from Jim telling me that he picked this up, oh how disappointed I was cos it was my life's dream at some point, but also amazed that someone would do something like that for a total stranger. You're still my hero up until today Jim 😶😶😶 ❤!!!

Yeah, it seems like a weird mix to me as well: on one hand what they're doing is kinda technical, but I guess it's also specific and straightforward enough that it's not more complex than most basic office jobs.
Marqan i think its bc they actually arent any good at IT stuff but they've been taught this specific job and that's all they know to do
The scammer wasn't stupid they just made a stupid mistake.

God bless ur heart. My grandmother got scammed out of 5000$ from scammers. I wish u wealth & prosperity to u my brother.
I'm sorry about your grandma, I hope she was able to get a refund!
Sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope she's doing ok. These scammers can wreck someone's life saving. I worked with this old man, he was running the payroll at the company. He passed his retirement age but was still working at the company (he'd been working there for most of his adult like). One day he called me to his office to speak to someone on the phone, who supposedly didn't speak English and only spoke Spanish. My Spanish isn't perfect but I could tell straight away that the person on the other side of the phone wasn't Spanish (in fact, he spoke Spanish with a thick English accent). I hung up the phone and informed this old gentleman that the guy wasn't Spanish and that it was probably a scam he was running (at that stage, I wasn't aware that the old man was defrauded of more than 50k GBP. The scammers wanted more money before they will transfer 11 million Euros from the Spanish Lotery (I think it was called Onze). The sad part, this old man was paying more and more, in the hope of getting his winning prize (he was blinded by the hope that it was a legit thing).
Sad to say that when he finally realised that it was a scam, he had a nervous breakdown and had to be sent into retirement. His health deteriorated pretty rapidly after that.
I wish your grandmother all the best.

They should put big signs by the checkout in all best buys and Walmart’s to make people aware
How there isn't an automatic flag on any giftcard purchase over $100 or something (or more than say 2 giftcards) that makes the website or check person say "btw no legit business would ever ask for gift cards, dummy" is beyond me.
That is a brilliant idea! Spread the word to your local businesses!
I've seen small signs at walmart but they're so easy to miss them

If I was the person scammed for those gift cards, I would contact him not only to say thanks personally, but also to make him a real gift!
delpinsky There’s just little incentive for the Indian police to do anything about it. Unlike something like Interpol we don’t have great interpolice connections between the western world and India. As well as that, it’s not their own people they are scamming, but people in foreign nations. Therefore there is little call for them to do anything about these crimes rather than the ones of their constituents. Politicians are unlikely to crack down on it until there is more pressure externally on it from foreign countries, but honestly it’s unlikely many foreign countries will do anything about it, because what they’d lose in foreign trade is much more than what the western politicians care about some old people being scammed who don’t realise their politicians even could do anything about it because they’re not tech savvy. It’s all just a terrible situation all around tbh.
Thank you so much for all the work you do on this channel. I myself got scammed out of $1000 some years ago and it burns me up inside that not only did I fall for the scam but so many other people do too.
