And that’s why Kitboga does what he does. It may not be as thorough as Jim Browning nor crippling like Pierogi, but as long as he’s distracted with a bogus victim, that’s another minute he’s not scamming someone elderly.
Shutting them down is a game of whack-a-mole. The Indian government barely gives a shit about white collar crime scammers, getting them to act on info from jim browning and Kitboga is an uphill battle.
I got this call once. I said I was tired of running from the law, that I wanted to take responsibility for my wrong actions, and perhaps getting arrested and going to jail is the only way I'll learn.
I gotta say as someone who was a Crowder supporter I'm kinda disappointed in him, there's an obvious lack of honesty, lack of understanding on issues, etc. etc.
I got a call one day from what I guess was a debt consolidation company. The first person I spoke to was Indian, I believe. That put me off immediately and when I wouldn't go along they transferred me to an American guy. I didn't end up doing it because they got mad when I asked them to send me info about their company even though they told me they would.
@@veganarchistcommunist3051 In cases like that it is best to demand notification via the post office. Not calls Not e-mail Nothing but actual mail because scammers can be of a person's country or learn to use a like accent. Sad to say, I trust no one and nothing anymore.

Scammer says, "The IRS never accepts payments over the phone." Two minutes later they are asking for his CC number. These guys are too incompetent to be scammers. They should find a new line of work.
If they're doing it, it's because there is a degree of success. In the countries where many people do this, they only need one person to bite. That'd probably be more than they'd make in any job in two months.
What I have read is that the very obvious mistakes, like the spelling mistakes in the email and the absurd logic in the calls, is actually a feature. The idea is that they quickly weed out most people who would fall for the scam. The people who are too dumb to notice that stuff are the people the scammers are looking for.
@@gordongekko2781 It is kinda funny at first until you consider the victim is getting scammed not because of the usual reason of greed but simply for being kind of a dope. Actually, the ones that go after the elderly are the absolute worst. They prey on old people by making them think that they (the old person) has caused some problem by being old and confused. Most likely the old person has had issue before where they have gotten confused and caused some problem for someone. So now when the "IRS" calls them they feel bad and don't want to cause any more trouble so they send up falling for the scam.
They didn't know his name or address but knew knew he was in trouble with his taxes had problems. Wow and they have an arrest warrant without knowing a name. Good job keeping them going.
Right , what's really bad is when you just visited the social security office and the next day you get a fraud call from someone saying they are from the social security

If you notice on your federal tax form, there is a line for a phone contact number. You will definitely know if you have an issue with your taxes. CP2000’s are mailed out about 15-18 months after a filing. It takes that long for payers to submit info (W-2’s, 1099 ‘s etc) for comparison with a filed return. Any discrepancy will be calculated and a proposed bill sent out. If you disagree with the bill, you answer the notice and work with the examiner. If you wish to be contacted by phone, you can give a number to be reached. You will know if you can expect a call.

I'll remember to do that.

*This happens to so many Americans. One woman committed suicide recently when her retirement was drained by these people. The government should focus on these assholes and not a wall. Some times i get 5 fake calls a day on my cellphone. ITS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!*
I once led scammers on a false promise to buy 3-$300 walmart gift cards and meet them in the parking lot! When they told me step by step what to do, I gave them the address of a Walmart two towns over. I hung up right when they said they couldn’t find me in the parking lot. I made them waste 2hrs on me. Good times!
An Indian guy in Germany was called by one scammer. He took the whole afternoon making one excuse after another and in the end, since he knew what was going on, started abusing the scammer in the most foul language. I had a good laugh.
@@786swe I said they wasted 2 hours on me, that's total phone time. It's great bc that means I used up time they would have spent scamming someone who doesn't know better.
I appreciate this because I got scammed out of $900, it's so stupid but in the moment I had a panic attack and was not thinking logically. Nothing I can do but laugh at myself.
I got scammed for Euro 1000 in Istanbul, hated myself for the next weeks until I got my next pay and felt a little better, still hate myself for being sucker though.
This is why whenever I hear or see an Indian name, I automatically think scammer. I explained to the “recruiter” about this. Then after I gave him the benefit of doubt and him I relocating to another state, that’s when I started to get scam calls from that state. I immediately called him out on that. Magically the calls stopped. So ... yeah... I don’t trust them.
I'm an Indian and I can tell you we are tired of these scammers ourselves! The worst part is that people fall for this kinda thing! I was at the bank the other day, and a guy comes in to fight with the manager because according to him, the manager called him for his account info and whisked the 1.2 million₹ he had in his account. The manager then explained that the bank sends out a letter in case of any discrepancy and gives about 2 weeks or a month to respond. Anyway, this guy lost his money. But this guy isn't the only one. I know people who have lost even upto 10 million₹ and despite repeated TV advertisements on how to beware of scammers by the various banks in our country, people fall for this BS. I get at least about 5 calls in a week, and for various reasons. Sometimes there's a discrepancy with my savings account or the 'loan I applied for' or whatever. And even though I'm not, I say I'm a college student, or I don't have a bank account. The guy hangs up on me the very next second! 🤷🏻♂️
Harsh Mahatme Iagree wholeheartedly. It’s their own fault that people fall for this stuff. Check out anything that asks for your money. Listen to the warnings.
I get as calls that my bank account has been locked and I say to them., Hmm since I don't have a bank account that's in each and every way a very strange situation. LMAO phone hangs up right away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆

@@c.md_ Yeah, I thought it was funny, the person he was claiming to be is the voice of Bob on Bob's Burgers, and Archers and things (Arby's commercials too), so for the second guy he made himself actually sound like him. I fell like H Jon Benjamin probably gets a lot of pranks pulled on him by his other voice talent and comedian friends.
@@richardschiller7803 I mean, he is in a popular cartoon series. The person he is impersonating is in a few popular cartoon series (one he is in with Sam) and has had his own comedy specials, H Jon Benjamin is one of the most famous voice actors out there right now, not including the people that do anime dubs. Not sure where the Seth McFarlane thing came from, but he is not impersonating a cartoon voice, he is impersonating the guy who is on Arby's Commercials, that is what H Jon Benjamin sounds like.
I once got a call where they said they were from Revenue Canada and asked me for my name and address. I told them that if they're from the government, they should already know my address. Then they hung up on me.
Thing is, from what I heard on a channel that covers this stuff, is that these scammers can pay off the police over there to look the other way. So I imagine it makes it harder for government people
I don't think they care because they benefit from the scams. These people scam money from us and then spend the money there and it recirculates in their economy creating tax revenue among other things. I imagine if they were to stop the scams that it would impact them to some degree. I have a feeling they successfully scam many people.
Most of these happen in places that govt. can't figure it out. Although many scammers where I live got raided by police and people were locked behind the bars. People who call are just pawns it's the owners who are real evil here. Don't get it twisted, people in India get scammed too it's just it doesn't get in the news much.
@@SuperDannyrulez I feel like you need to actually look into the Indian government's response to the scammers rather than just speculating on something you seem to have no knowledge on.
9:16... when he says Bob's Burgers, I lost it! But then "the man who plays Hugo..." I was on the floor laughing!! How did I not see this clip until today?!
These people called me too saying that I have 24 hours to "pay" them or the cops will come to my house and arrest me. I told them "thank you for giving me a 24 hour window to pack a few bags, drive to the airport and leave the country" the guy on the phone went silent and didn't know what to say and then when I called him out for being a fraud he immediately started to cuss at me and threatened me. It's funny how butt hurt these guys get once you call them out. Pay to cancel an arrest warrant with gift cards? LMFAO! That's absolutely ridiculous.
Last time they called me I told them I don’t pay taxes because I don’t work! So, I know they are liars! Then I just repeated, You’re a liar and God is watching you until they hung up! I do the same when they call claiming to be from Windows! On the latter I’ve also told them the I don’t own a computer or I say, don’t call someone in the Seattle area saying you work for Windows! We know better! 😂
I got a scammer call just a few days ago. For real. It was a helpful guy telling me that I had a computer virus. I pretended to be an aged person with a disability...Oh yes dear,I am fine..now that I have got home from hospital. “Oh you have have bin in da hospital?” Yes, I had an accident...a very bad accident and I hurt my head. It was very bad young man, really bad and now I have a brain injury...but I am glad to be home...I have been home for two days..I think..is it Tuesday? Maybe it is Thursday...I can’t remember? What day is it? Do you know my son...he is a lovely boy? When I delayed turning on the computer...after ten whole minutes...I said “I am so sorry my dear, it is very slow” he responded with “Yes, like you”. I said “That is not very nice young man making fun of my brain injury!” Then I pretended to cry...quite loudly and between sobs said I could not talk to such a rude person anymore and hung up. Fifteen minutes of life that scummy scammer won’t get back.
I did also except I told him I would be waiting in the middle of the road, naked, drinking a bottle of Crown, bring child services for 15 children, animal control for the 5 Rottweilers and the panther. To also bring ATF , I have an arsenal and a boat load of drugs.
Its funny how the scammers started off trying to do an american accent and then a couple minutes in they forget to maintain it and revert back to their native accent. Its really hard to maintain accents if you aren't consciously doing it. Spies apparently avoid doing different voices for that reason.
I had one of those calls. The guy asked me if the fraud was intentional or an accident. So I said “your question makes no sense- the definition of fraud is an intentional disregard for the law.” For some reason he hung up on me.
I had one call Me in January of this year 2019. I owed 6,500 dollars. I screwed them around for a half hour, pissed them off and they are sending the FBI to come in a half hour. I told him to tell them to bring donuts and I'd have coffee ready. I'm still waiting.

One would think that most US taxpayers would already know that the IRS never ever calls like this and never ever asks for payment over the phone, particularly in the form of iTunes gift cards. Not to mention the lack of due process. Who could actually fall for this crap?

I wonder if these scammers ever realize how many Americans get a kick out of messing with them like this?
They're aware. The ones that last longer are half-decent at picking up if someone is messing with them.
There are people that have a career calling scammers, called scambaiters
Unlogic loads of great TH-cam channels where they fuck with them all day.

Scammer called my son about his accident , His reply YES I DIED. Scammer continued asking if he wants to claim damages
My son said no just funeral costs ,Scammer hung up
I'll remember to do that. I get these ppl all the time but I sent no money or anything but I got a Italian friend on Facebook who called him n threaten him with FBI he goes by a real person named Steve or Mason Kalfman. I noted he misspelled Kalfman with Kaulfman by mistake I found the real guy. N Google this names.
“PDF FILE? Is this something I committed?” God, I love you, Sam!

The amazing thing is that these guys weren't furloughed during the shutdown. They worked all the way through without pay. Now that's some dedication!
Your acting was good. I told them I worked for the IRS on the floor above them and I'll be right down to fix it. Then they hung up. lol
Man that's brilliant
I love that Sam did at least three distinct characters during this call and no one noticed the shifts.
*This happens to so many Americans. One woman committed suicide recently when her retirement was drained by these people. The government should focus on these assholes and not a wall. Some times i get 5 fake calls a day on my cellphone. ITS GETTING RIDICULOUS!!*

Agreed, it’s gotten crazy.
I have a VERY easy idea to get this to stop. Indo-Chinese War.

I like how they sound pissed off when they figure out you are messing with them.
That's the whole purpose! It's so ironic like they act like they are the victim!
Scammers hate it when you mess with them
Do you accept cash? LOL! And the morons said yes!!!
I've been called a "son of the bitch" more than once by these guys and I always laugh hysterically at them.

I once led scammers on a false promise to buy 3-$300 walmart gift cards and meet them in the parking lot!
When they told me step by step what to do, I gave them the address of a Walmart two towns over.
I hung up right when they said they couldn’t find me in the parking lot.
I made them waste 2hrs on me.
Good times!
I would have had the cops waiting! Lol
Cassy l - That thought crossed my mind, but it seemed too risky.

I love how, even though Sam is just talking to these criminals on the phone, he still puts on the sincerely concerned face. See, Sam's a Method actor.

I appreciate this because I got scammed out of $900, it's so stupid but in the moment I had a panic attack and was not thinking logically. Nothing I can do but laugh at myself.
Stuart Reed ouch that’s really messed up. Sorry to hear that
I got scammed for Euro 1000 in Istanbul, hated myself for the next weeks until I got my next pay and felt a little better, still hate myself for being sucker though.

Has become??? It's been that way for 20 years now
This is why whenever I hear or see an Indian name, I automatically think scammer. I explained to the “recruiter” about this. Then after I gave him the benefit of doubt and him I relocating to another state, that’s when I started to get scam calls from that state. I immediately called him out on that. Magically the calls stopped. So ... yeah... I don’t trust them.
They all sound the effin same but the weird thing is, they believe they've mastered perfect Engleesh.
I'm an Indian and I can tell you we are tired of these scammers ourselves! The worst part is that people fall for this kinda thing!
I was at the bank the other day, and a guy comes in to fight with the manager because according to him, the manager called him for his account info and whisked the 1.2 million₹ he had in his account. The manager then explained that the bank sends out a letter in case of any discrepancy and gives about 2 weeks or a month to respond. Anyway, this guy lost his money. But this guy isn't the only one. I know people who have lost even upto 10 million₹ and despite repeated TV advertisements on how to beware of scammers by the various banks in our country, people fall for this BS.
I get at least about 5 calls in a week, and for various reasons. Sometimes there's a discrepancy with my savings account or the 'loan I applied for' or whatever. And even though I'm not, I say I'm a college student, or I don't have a bank account. The guy hangs up on me the very next second! 🤷🏻♂️
Harsh Mahatme Iagree wholeheartedly. It’s their own fault that people fall for this stuff. Check out anything that asks for your money. Listen to the warnings.
I get as calls that my bank account has been locked and I say to them., Hmm since I don't have a bank account that's in each and every way a very strange situation. LMAO phone hangs up right away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😆

That happened nearly 6 months ago and I'm still waiting...

@@c.md_ Yeah, I thought it was funny, the person he was claiming to be is the voice of Bob on Bob's Burgers, and Archers and things (Arby's commercials too), so for the second guy he made himself actually sound like him.

i got sick of the i do cartoon voices; i think i am famous, more than Seth McFarlene
@@richardschiller7803 I mean, he is in a popular cartoon series. The person he is impersonating is in a few popular cartoon series (one he is in with Sam) and has had his own comedy specials, H Jon Benjamin is one of the most famous voice actors out there right now, not including the people that do anime dubs. Not sure where the Seth McFarlane thing came from, but he is not impersonating a cartoon voice, he is impersonating the guy who is on Arby's Commercials, that is what H Jon Benjamin sounds like.
so the IRS calls you and doesn't know your name or address.... riiiiight.
hM dont see the problem here
I once got a call where they said they were from Revenue Canada and asked me for my name and address. I told them that if they're from the government, they should already know my address. Then they hung up on me.
And your phone number. I can't believe anyone would be foolish enough to fall for this crap.
EXACTLY. I have never had a credit card in my life and ALWAYS get calls telling me "YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER HAS BEEN SUSPENDED"
PDF file, is that something I've committed 😂 That was a brilliant line from sam seder
In case you aren't aware, he is an _EXTREMELY_ successful voice actor
Government of India should be held responsible for not dealing with the massive amount of these scams in their country
Thing is, from what I heard on a channel that covers this stuff, is that these scammers can pay off the police over there to look the other way. So I imagine it makes it harder for government people
I don't think they care because they benefit from the scams. These people scam money from us and then spend the money there and it recirculates in their economy creating tax revenue among other things. I imagine if they were to stop the scams that it would impact them to some degree. I have a feeling they successfully scam many people.
Most of these happen in places that govt. can't figure it out.
Although many scammers where I live got raided by police and people were locked behind the bars.
People who call are just pawns it's the owners who are real evil here.
Don't get it twisted, people in India get scammed too it's just it doesn't get in the news much.
@@SuperDannyrulez I feel like you need to actually look into the Indian government's response to the scammers rather than just speculating on something you seem to have no knowledge on.

These people called me too saying that I have 24 hours to "pay" them or the cops will come to my house and arrest me. I told them "thank you for giving me a 24 hour window to pack a few bags, drive to the airport and leave the country" the guy on the phone went silent and didn't know what to say and then when I called him out for being a fraud he immediately started to cuss at me and threatened me. It's funny how butt hurt these guys get once you call them out. Pay to cancel an arrest warrant with gift cards? LMFAO! That's absolutely ridiculous.
call them ben chod or mater chod, it means sisterfucker and motherfucker respectively.
Last time they called me I told them I don’t pay taxes because I don’t work! So, I know they are liars! Then I just repeated, You’re a liar and God is watching you until they hung up! I do the same when they call claiming to be from Windows! On the latter I’ve also told them the I don’t own a computer or I say, don’t call someone in the Seattle area saying you work for Windows!

I got a scammer call just a few days ago. For real. It was a helpful guy telling me that I had a computer virus. I pretended to be an aged person with a disability...Oh yes dear,I am fine..now that I have got home from hospital. “Oh you have have bin in da hospital?” Yes, I had an accident...a very bad accident and I hurt my head. It was very bad young man, really bad and now I have a brain injury...but I am glad to be home...I have been home for two days..I think..is it Tuesday? Maybe it is Thursday...I can’t remember? What day is it? Do you know my son...he is a lovely boy? When I delayed turning on the computer...after ten whole minutes...I said “I am so sorry my dear, it is very slow” he responded with “Yes, like you”. I said “That is not very nice young man making fun of my brain injury!” Then I pretended to cry...quite loudly and between sobs said I could not talk to such a rude person anymore and hung up. Fifteen minutes of life that scummy scammer won’t get back.
did you know they laugh at the costumers that cry?
I did also except I told him I would be waiting in the middle of the road, naked, drinking a bottle of Crown, bring child services for 15 children, animal control for the 5 Rottweilers and the panther. To also bring ATF , I have an arsenal and a boat load of drugs.

Its funny how the scammers started off trying to do an american accent and then a couple minutes in they forget to maintain it and revert back to their native accent. Its really hard to maintain accents if you aren't consciously doing it. Spies apparently avoid doing different voices for that reason.
I love the ones who change accent every 3rd word, bloody hilarious
