A lady in Idaho was getting scammed by these guys and the cashier had seen your videos before and let her know it was a scam!!! Keep up the good work you are helping so many people directly and indirectly!!!
Every employee of stores that sell gift cards should watch your videos.
Walmart and target should include your videos as orientation
If I had a store, I would have these videos playing near the Gift Cards for Scammers section.
The thing is, most of the staff is always trained to make sure the person is not getting scammed. But the scammers always convince the victim to avoid being detected.
Should be mandatory store employee training. I don't mind Pierogi and similar types getting a small royalty for that too.
Gotta love the scammer warning you about a scam. "If someone's gonna scam this old lady, it's me, damn it!"
Lol smh right!
That's not the true reason, it was exposed on another video. There are so many scammers that they compete with each other and it's very easy to happen because if a phone number or other contact is leaked to them as an easy target: it's usually leaked to many call centers.
Eliminating the competition bruh
Lol
this lady's money is my money and none of y'all dirty scammers and hackers are gonna get it.
You have literally learned Hindi to scam the scammers. True dedication man, keep up the good work.
E
Yes that is highly impressive
Spiderman into spiderverse< lol yes
i learned Hindi just to insult them.
@@valtaylor2574did you do something 😂
I actually got a scammer to admit to it on accident. It was pretty spectacular. I held the first guy on the line for about forty minutes, going through the whole shpeal and essentially pretending I was an idiot who can't use a computer (the best was pretending I didn't know where my 'windows' or 'control' keys were). Eventually I got transferred to the 'manager' and when he answered he was like 'Ma'am, do you know why we're calling" and I responded with "Yeah. It's a scam, right?" and he goes, "Yes ma'am. Wait. No? Wait!"
Spectacularly dumb :-D
Ooh, I gotta try that when someone tries to scam me or a friend or family
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
LOL
Hahahahahahaha!!! Thank you!!
My dad almost lost $5000 from the Norton Antivirus scammers. He was incredibly embarrassed. When old people get scammed, it's a bigger sting. I hate these scammers.
They scam me $5,000 I was devastated
I was scammed out of $300 =(
I’m sorry guys :( hope you’re all ok now!
Yes you got it, I am elderly, felt raped and embarrassed.
my mother's partner is elderly and has early stage dementia. He was nearly scammed out of 25 grand but his son arrived just as he was transferring the money. These fuckers need to get their arses kicked.
I just got a scam call and told them my name was Pierogi. The guy yelled something in another language and hung up. Just the mention of your name pisses these scammers off! Hahahaha
😂 I have to try that now.
One time I answered saying Sheriffs dept and the guy screamed motherf$&@&$@! Hahaha
He should call them benchode
🤣🤣🤣 Am going to try that too, let me see how that Goes 🤣
LOL, that's hilarious! 🤣🤣
I’m not racist, but if you get a call from an unknown number and the person sounds like they’re from India… they’re most likely a scammer
1000% true
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 facts 👌🏼
Man when you call unemployment or social security and more it all goes to India so that doesn't help either our own government is sitting us up to getting scammed
True😂
I haven’t called one non Indian scammer 😭😭😭
Every employee at these chain stores should be required to watch your videos
They are… and they are required to ask when sh*t seems suspicious. My oldest kid works at customer service at a major supermarket store, and even when sh*t is painfully obvious that it is a scam, a lot of elderly victims will continue to attempt to wire money or similar actions even when told that they are being scammed!
the trouble is that scammers will ask the victims to get only a few gift cards at a time so as to no arouse suspicion.
@@perrobravoperocastrado2286 I just sell them the gift cards. It’s not my problem.
Many stores like Target now will ask you why you're buying the gift cards. It sounds a bit annoying, but I appreciate it because they're probably stopping a number of scams just by asking.
I wish this was true. I'm a Target employee, and yes, we are trained to watch out for these scams, but it's a very tight line we have to walk when asking about scams. Because most people won't believe they're being scammed, and it can take a lot of coaxing on our part about why the guests/victims are buying these cards. They're coached on what to say, like we heard in the video when the scammer said to say it's a wedding present. But (for me at least) there's no better feeling than when we do manage to stop the scams. I've stopped several over the years. I remember one where this poor woman started crying and gave me a hug because I stopped her from buying the cards. She walked into the store, on the phone and I overheard her say "okay I'm at Target now what" and I heard her say gift cards and my mind was like... you are not walking away from me come here. I told her to hang up the phone and asked her what was going on. I remember asking her if she knew this person and she said no. Her phone starts going off and I ask her if I can answer it. I say "hi I'm a target team member and I'm just asking the reason for these gift cards." He responded with "I'm her son" I look at the woman, still on the phone, and I'm like "Ma'am, is this your son?" When she responds no I was like "Have a great day sir" and hung up the phone. One of the best feelings ever. The woman was so thankful. She left that store more informed about these scams.
@@brittanysmith7281 Even if you only stop some of them, you're making a big difference. People you help rescue will also tell their friends and family about what happened, and that will help prevent future scams as well.
@@brittanysmith7281 Hero !
Jokes on you we don't have target in the UK
@@brittanysmith7281 Your a hero mam
Recently I was in a Walmart and overheard two young employees talking about an elderly lady who was very upset and crying because the Walmart employee recognized the signs that she was being scammed and refused to sell her so many gift cards. This poor woman was convinced that if she didn't buy them that she would be in jail by sundown! There was about six employees surrounding her , trying to comfort her, and someone called the police. I was being nosy so I hung around a bit to see what happened. A few minutes later the woman's son arrived and gave her a huge hug and they walked out together. It broke my heart to see how scared she was , and the relief on her face when she saw her son, and the Walmart employees being so kind and helpful.
Wow! That poor woman. These scammers are so evil it's so sick. I'm so happy those employees stopped her from buying them
And so glad her son was able to come to store for his mother.
Thanks for sharing this story!!.
@@AudreyW1997 Anyone online who wants something from you is a shark and should be treated as such. Its not just old ladies in shopping centers; kids online getting told they they have to give their passwords, all kinds of bs. But atleast kids learn, with elderly I do feel bad because they genuinely trust and obey; they think "How could someone do something this terrible? It must be true." I always check my dads phone and make sure hes not clicking on any bs or downloading bs. I grew up downloading torrents (free movies) online so I do know my around red flags fairly well lol
wow! what a great story
The scammers are atheists. Evil and barbaric.
That's horrible.
"Be Confident.

your opinions are invalid
My husband works as a Manager at Target, for the past few weeks he stopped 2 elderly people from being scammed. One lady was buying $2,000 worth of Target gift cards , another gentleman $3,000. In the situation with elderly lady, she said it was for a relative, my husband asked straight away -" are you on the phone with someone right now" - she was shocked , nodded and quietly said yes . Thank God he was able to save her from losing money
That’s amazing
It's crazy how people fall for stuff like that. Atleast there are people out there like your husband.
@@Balletified elderly people usually, who aren’t good with technology
With technology advancing old people don't understand how to use most of the tech so they are scared when they hear when their card or anything goes wrong
My Aunt, who isn’t even 70, fell for a scammer who became her “phone boyfriend” she gave him thousands, she is broke now.
“If they hear you talking to me they will definitely not sell you the cards”. Wow, that sounds just soooooo definitely legitimate.
They don't care about the cards. It's the CODS they won't let you buy.
@@Eriennexton LMAOO
Is that more or less shady than telling her to say it’s for a wedding at her house???

@Certified Queen they aren't in the US so it takes a lot before they will be able to get them. But they do get raided.
Thanks Pierogi for all of your hours of hard work to break down these scammers and providing education as well as entertainment 😀
Ikr
How did you use those emojis ??
Working at a bank I see this all the time, it is absolutely heartbreaking, I save some of your clips to show them. A lot of them are confused about how the scammers get their contact information. your videos explain it well
How disgusting that they tell people not to talk to anyone to prevent others from warning them it's a scam
yup and sadly if ur already falling for an Indian accent telling u to get gift cards you'll probably listen to them not to talk to anyone too, sure it happens everyday where the employee knows they're getting scammed bc they won't talk to them or say why lol, the stores need a policy that they cant sell them without a reason
@@lukeadams8518 Almost all major stores ask why you’re buying gift cards & then describe the suspicion that comes along with that. They even have signs posted in just about every store I’ve been in for the last 5 years, which extends to three different states on the west coast.
@@lukeadams8518 He told her to say it's for a wedding, so even if the store did that it would have gone similarly.
But a policy like that would cause very little harm, but could safe people from losing a lot of money.
What I don't understand is how someone would not be immediately suspicious about being told to lie and conceal what they are doing.
@@sidda7085 The West Coast is not representative of the USA. There are only 3 states on the West Coast and you goobers swear In-N-Out is the best ever because evidently you can't make a decent burger out there.

I was not prepared for that one haha :D
The store I work at now has signs that warn of scammers telling you to buy gift cards! Was happy to see they put them up. I’m always watching to see if elderly people are on the phone looking at gift cards. Watching your videos inspired me to keep a lookout :)
that's excellent
The scams are so stupid that I don't know how people fall for them.
@@Truth_Seeker1 there are people who still dont understand todays technology. Just because you know something doesnt mean the world should also.
Seriously people even see these signs and really think that if they don't do what they say they are going to be hurt! It's ridiculous and stupid. I really struggle to see how people can be so stupid either
@@daBEAGLE1017 It's not that. Most of the time people are easily led.
My elderly mom fell for the “Hi Grandma” and was ready to go buy the gift cards. She was so upset and confused because she was sick but still wanted to help her “grandson.” A pox on all the scammers out there.
😭 so sad and frustrating
"she was hagged"
My mum was about to do the same the other day, luckily my sister popped round and caught her before she made the transfer..she used to be an inspector in the police..My ex girlfriends grandad fell for it too, also an inspector in the police.
It's really sad how much the mind can diminish with age. I wonder what of scams we will be dealing with in 30 years
That happened to my mother in law and she was mortified. She thought she was helping her grandson get out of foreign jail. Which is weird because she’s incredibly bright. Fortunately, she got over being embarrassed and was interviewed on local news about how to avoid this
@@victoriabarclay3556 my grandmother also got scammed out of $12000 by someone claiming to be her son. They said they were in jail in Canada. They knew all about our family and said he didn't want to call his wife and tell her because he'd be "too ashamed." My grandmother said it sounded just like my dad! Scary.
Just wanted so say, this had me in stitches. I know it's a serious business but your presentation is genius, keep up the good work. This is one of my favourite channels, you guys are great!
Yes love it. I waste too much time on these videos but I love it when the scammers get scammed.
This is one of the best parts of youtube. I love how dedicated you are (and funny). I get stressed just hearing the scammers, even though I know what they are doing. Your old ladies are quite feisty. I love how they start telling them 'I love you'.... But beyond this, you are doing some really important work. Thank you. A senior i know was caught up in a romance scam and lost $60,000. Very sad.
I had fun with an Amazon scammer the other day. I told her "you do realise you have called the Amazon accounts department in Melbourne don't you?" She hunbg up the phone really fast!
@Ian Montgomery, I recently had fun, too! An Amazon scammer called my work cell phone. I said that the account was a corporate account and that I needed to pull someone from corporate into the call. She sure hung up fast!
I'll have to remember your idea.
Boring

I love when Perogi plays like he is dense and the scammer gets frustrated - LOL
How stressful this must be for older people! The control through fear he places on him is dreadful!
The joy I experience when you freak them out. I love this. Thank you for doing what you do!
The way they order people around is insane too, I can't imagine feeling ok being ordered around. These videos are so good, you do great work!
I'm from India n I'll tell you the reason why. The thing is that most of these so called executives are high school drop outs who are bad at their own mother tongue, forget bout knowing a foreign language. So their handlers train them in the basics of English language n accents etc. But when it comes to speaking in English for an extended period of time n when bombarded with questions, they get nervous n start being rude.
They don't care they just want people resources by stealing from them.
@TheHolisticCrafter good point, their sexism definitely plays a part in their attitude and language towards actual women on the phone and these scam baiters that they believe to be elderly women.
@@manmeetsinghsekhon8649 no it's because they are Indian
@@manmeetsinghsekhon8649 lol you definitely would not be speaking to me like that. I watch these videos and wonder how they keep getting away with being rude. Where are the Karens and the entitled women who'd start demanding to speak to managers. I know for sure though as soon as that ridiculous attitude came out with me we'd have a different conversation.
I'm a home health nurse and while on a visit to an elderly patient a scammer called to ask the patient to get on the internet because there was "illegal activity on her Microsoft account," she was so confused and agitated. I asked her if I could help & who was on the phone. She just looked at me and said, "Please talk to these people for me." I got on the phone and absolutely chewed them out for trying to scam my patient & never to call her again. They just hung up. I told her never ever talk to these type of people, it's just a giant scam.
Felicidades 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
I hope she remembers what you said!
I bet they called her the next day. As if they cared about your speech
you could say that "no one will call you for computer problems, they try to scam."
easier to grasp than "don't talk to these type of people"

@@nirvaansingh9952
It's not unfortunate that you're from India. It's unfortunate that scammers in India are making your entire country look bad. I have colleagues in India who I have never met in person, but we chat all the time and share our day-to-day lives with each other. One even calls me Ammah. (I am old enough to be mother to most of them.) That has been a blessing. These friends are honest and hard-working. They earn their living the right way. They support their parents and help their siblings get an education. Years ago I knew one guy who shared a small apartment with several other people, and he only spent enough money to eat, pay rent, and survive. He sent the majority of his earnings to his parents, so that they could live comfortably and not have to work anymore themselves. I could tell you other stories. My personal experience with Indians has been wonderful.
@@Truongkl honest hard working scam lol
Scammers live in America too. Look up mega churches.
Thanks for all the guidance. I have recently started telling these fools when they call me... "By the way, Perogy says to say hi." this almost ALWASYS results with them hanging up. I love it!
This was soo funny! The animation, the way you kept messing with him and the stupidity of the phone call and what they were wanting you to do 😂
Wish Target, Publix and other larger stores had some sort of PSA, or other info near the gift card area, explaining what these scammers do. There needs to be more public outreach to seniors on these scams.
Or an announcement in stores
In uk stores have a maximum limit on how much can be put through at one time. And tills can't be over rided. And staff told not to allow people to put more through as if they are doing to separate payments to by pass the maximum limit. Or if they have any concerns about who's buying to refuse the card.
Maybe people at those stores have been watching scambaiting videos. Nicely done!
theres quite a few stores that do in my area
They are making money too, why fix it, their shareholders want to see numbers!
I love how he never stops, and just keeps hunting those scammers down

Pierogi is the embodiment of all our crime-fighting fantasies made real. Bless him and his team for the work they do.

@SteveFarEast These people are real you know?
It seems their questions, once-confronted, are designed to confuse the victim. I appreciate how you consistently apply pressure and stay on-topic.
This is one of my favorite long-cons you've ever done. Awesome work.
This is giving me anxiety. I can't imagine how stressed out old people would be with their..
"Don't do this"
"Don't do that"
"Don't talk to them"
Yes!! Sadly, these tricks and manipulation work.😭😭
Oh they are worse than that. They convince them their grandchildren are in the hospital or in jail and they have to send this money or this or that will happen. They get very aggressive about not talking to other family about this. "He doesnt want his mom to know" Etc. They try to scare them, they scold and berate them to make them feel stupid for questioning anything thats going on. They are awful.
That's what I was thinking. I was getting anxious just listening to him. It's so awful that they would do this to anyone, nm elderly ppl.

The way the scammer gets panicked when "another scammer" is in the loop. They want the money and don't want anything going to the competition.
It’s extremely worrying how many elderly people have been scammed by these scammers.
It's partly because of how they speak to victims. They make you feel an inch tall and incredibly stupid. They berate you for not knowing tech and if you don't pull them up the first time, they just keep going - keep speaking to you as though you're an incompetent simpleton who can't do anything right and just pee'd all over the floor while still fully clothed.
It really makes me wonder how they treat their own parents and grandparents if they treat other elderly like this.
I've personally had one screaming and swearing at me for asking if he was a scammer... ok, so I repeatedly asked until he hung up, but something didn't sit right from the start of the call. I was calling my state government's health line.

A few years ago I received a call saying I owed 4k to the IRS and if I didn’t pay the police would be there to arrest me . I listened for about 20 minutes then I told him I worked for the IRS and I’d been keeping him on the phone so his IP address could be traced . He hung up I called him back on 3 different numbers he blocked every number . Disclosure I don’t work for the IRS but one of my sorority sisters from college does
I am picturing big signs in scammer call centers everywhere that say: If your target says her name is Vivian, HANG UP IMMEDIATELY!!!
Only problem is its also a common name, I doubt they will hang up when money involved.
She always uses same name
Or emails
I think it’s insane that anyone in the US of any age would think Amazon would send you to target to buy gift cards
I've seen customers go to Wal-Mart and get mad because they don't sell competitor's ( Amazon) cards.

They aren't very bright.
@@joshua.harazin thing is, that it works. Modern technology and the internet is magic for some people (not only elders) and I cannot even blame them for that. Those people may have given up to understand the "HOW" and just accept that it works somehow.

That is actually not a dumb idea!

Hope it happens someday! :D
The sad thing is if the store isn't going to make any large profit from it they don't care to do it. It's always about their pockets 🙄
It would be good PR however it's too complicated to convey in just an ad. People wouldn't get it. Also target makes money off of the cards so they'd tell people to not give them money. They won't do it.
This is a good idea
The woke mob would label it racist and try to cancel any store that tried.
Keep it up. You are amazing. Scammers are anathema to humanity.
I'm happy you made this video to educate so many who get easily scammed. I just feel bad for the older citizens who have no idea these are actually scammers and not someone who'll help them.

Tayler Stait* Most banks do NOTHING. I've had to do all the work our bank wouldn't and they still paid the scammers who had gotten into our bank account and advisedme I needed to do something. We're disabled so I had advised the bank I would gladly let our attorney know. Banks are insured by our tax dallors for insurance to protect their board members that same insurance is to protect us. They weren't happy with that but they still let scammers steal from our account this is a on going problem with Bank of America.
@@noneofyourbusiness9369 I know, it's crazy.
I get you are pushing their buttons, but I can't believe that they actually talk to people like that. It's crazy how rude they can get. What happens if someone is actually clueless? Are they going to threaten them?
Oh that’s exactly what they do. In another video, the scammer pretended that there was a sniper perched outside her building and would shoot her if she didn’t get the gift cards. Sickening behavior.
That’s exactly how they talk and behave , disgusting
Literally just got hung up on by one who screamed at me because I told them to change their hold music. Lol
I'm not surprised. They are slimey scum waste of space of Earth. They're disgusting monsters with zero empathy or conscience, they must be to be able to scam like this time after time. I'd be surprised if they didn't boss around and threaten their victims.
I couldn't agree more. I saw a tiny part of this video and I could already hear the rude tone of the scammer. Super duper disrespectful.
My dad was scammed for $6000 in August, he is 69 and still feels so embarrased... wish it could have been stopped.
You, Jim browning and all the other scambaiters do amazing work! Keep it up
My grandma was scammed a little more than a year ago so it brings me joy that you're always sticking it to them! Good work!
I´m sorry about your grandma. I hope she´s okay.
@@lindahansen45 she's doing good but since then I've been tuning in to scammer payback for hints, tips and advice on how to detect these telescammers
@@riverphoeniz9502 well done. I´ve made my elderly parents watching some of these videos. Just so they know they have to be careful
I saved my 36 yrs old son from getting scammed by a gift card scam. I watch you & learn as much as I can. I tell everyone I know about these terrible people .
Wow, that's cool. Most of the time it would be a son helping his mother, it shows people are beginning to not be as susceptible to these scams.
if the accent is indian, donot trust them simple as that
Is your son all not there mentally? Usually people that young never fall for something this absurd.
Uno reverse card
How does a 36 year old fall for one of these scams?
Your editing team needs a raise
🤣🤣🤣
The level of creativity on your channel is absolutely unmatched!!!! I wish I possessed the knowledge to be able to do what you’re doing here, because not only is it rewarding, but it is highly entertaining. It’s better than cable.!!!!!
dude. the fuckint editing. the effort just for the visuals along w this amazing job you did at giving a scammer a taste of his own medicine.... have to sub and put notifications on. i almost got caught up in one of these kinda scams as a kid and was so fucked up. super entertaining and youre doing good for people susceptible like kids and old people
Gotta love the 7-seat, 2-door Tesla.
"I am listen you" had me freaking dead 💀😂😂😂😂
"Ma'am don't listen to any other scammers.. I'm the only scammer you should listen to"
Loved the effort you put into the background. Hilarious! My hubby has gotten those Amazon emails before. They look convincing for sure. My tip to my mom is never click a link or call the number given. Call the store directly. They are getting so sneaky. My aunt has been a victim of a romance scam for about 2 years. It started with gift cards. The man is a rich surgeon in Syria but she refuses to connect the dots. She is blocked from buying gift cards at Walmart.
I love how pumped up you get after finishing a call. It’s the best! Keep up the great work. My 86yr old granddad got scammed for 200,000. It really hit their retirement hard…I’m grateful you’re helping others out so it doesn’t happen to them.
If they allowed that to happen they deserve it
What are you saying? No body deserves anything like that
how do you even let that happen
@@NeverComplyEver For a scammer to take so much money from someone means they aren’t low-quality but more or less professional. What makes you think an 86 year old could’ve seen through that?
200,000 what?!
I was working as a cashier and some guy was on the phone wanting to buy multiple 500 dollar Google play cards, I tried to tell him he was being scammed but he kept telling me to shut up, so I just canceled the transaction at the last second and told him it was being declined
Thank you for trying. God, I hope he didn't get scammed in the end.
nice idea
You are so great at what you do and also so funny 😂 i love the way you rip the scammers well done you have helped so many people putting your vidoes out there realy getting the info over to us oldies and msking it fun to thanks😊
I once asked an older man why he was buying 1,500$ worth of steam gift cards when I was a customer service person at target, he told me about how it was to fix something on his computer and I explained in an easy to follow way how that’s impossible and he’s being scammed. It feels really good to help people before they get got.
this is insane im so worried that the older people fall for this its so disturbing great work fantastic
I'm old. I almost fell for one of these but I had just started watching this channel and played them for half an hour! I'm teaching everyone I know.
@@arlanstrong1424 Awesome!
This is a fun channel to share too.
Not only the old sadly but also the younger generations too, but yea. The scammers are getting better and better in every language sadly.
Scamming old people for their last dime is nothing new. Dragnet once adapted the investigation a scam where two swindlers masqueraded as bank examiners in need of marked bills to catch an embezzler, targeting elderly pensioners with bad eyesight to avoid recognition. In finally nabbing them, the cops represented by Friday and Gannon actually helped the potential mark--a lifelong fan of detective fiction--cross off something on her bucket list; she had "always wanted to be in on a pinch."
shirlaine williams - It really depends on the elder. Just like with the young, you get a lot of different personalities. I have a beloved aunt in her 80s, was a formerly in upper management for a major bank. When folks like this call her, she is quick to shut them down.
I watch the entire video now because of the animations. Great work on the channel and lots of love for helping keep Americans safe :)
Those backgrounds in the car and the kitchen are hilarious! And those are some WEIRD scary looking cats lurking about, hahahah! Hey Pierogi, LOVE YOU!!! And your team. You guys are great!!!! I'm learning so much. I've been hacked before, but never through a call or email. It was always some kind of banking b.s. from way back when the Internet was still new. Might have been my fault too, but I learned from it!
My elderly great aunt just got scammed out of $4500 buying gift cards for these guys. It’s so awful. Thank you for all you do!
Really sorry to hear that. Do you think Is there a way so she could be warned from this kind of scam ? It's absolutely heart breaking knowing that old people gets scammed with this kind of monsters.
@@bm2ilabs - What really needs to happen is this needs to hit the news...you know...the stuff that older people religiously watch.
THEN they might actually see it and believe it.
It's really the only way I can think of.
Make it public and use tv to educate the masses.
Often.
Oh how sad!
@@TheMurlocKeeper america thrives on gullibility and propaganda. They would never stop old people from blindly doing what they are told.
@@TheMurlocKeeper Lol yeah put it on cable
Scammer: "Those people are scams, do not trust them!"
Also scammer: "Don't tell these store clerks you're working with Amazon and keep off speaker or the store clerks won't let you buy these cards!"
*Sounds Legit*
Like this guy literally went *"How dare you try to scam the person I'm scamming?!"*
They gatekeeping the scam🤣🤣🤣🤣

i love the editing of this one. the car hitting the trash can cracked me up
The thing that scared me the most was when I got a scam call when I was 22. It was about me owing a lot of money, and they said that they were going to send the police to my door if I didn't pay that day.
Luckily, I realized it was a scam after many hours of fretting.
The shitty thing is, I've never properly recovered to this day. That call was the beginning of my anxiety.
What I learned from that experience, is that no matter how knowledgeable and aware you are now, these type of scams can have a lasting touch on your psyche.
I always ask customers who the cards are for when they ask me where the gift card section is.
"They are for the helpful people at Amazon!"
I can't tell you ma'am. They've got my other shoe as hostage.
This stuff really be happening?!!?!
@@iyesihoop9873 yeah. I get calls every day on my landline. I know they are scams so try to waste their time hoping they have less time to move on to someone else. They get rude when they find out yet scammers keep calling.
Big business in India.
the thing is, it's not really your business though
Just had a talk with a lady today whose father almost fell victim to one of these scams. Her dad asked her for a drive to a department store to get iTunes cards to send to the RCMP because he supposedly owed them money. She stopped him in time, thankfully! She sat him down and showed him YOUR videos! These scammers keep trying up here in Canada too.
What’s the RCMP? Just curious.

Ah, thanks! I guess you can tell that I am not Canadian. ;)
That is hilarious… I can’t believe someone would actually think that the police/government would take iTunes gift cards from the public as payment for anything. 😂
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Royal Canadian Mounted Police
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Can tell you don't know how google works either. 🤣
thank you for calling this out this scam nearly happened to me but instead of a warning it was a reward program saying i had a lot of money given to me as a random pick from the government.
dude for real the video direction on those animated segments is friggen amazing. I'm in awe at the number of scenes lol it's like a whole movie 🤣🤣
Scammer: "The person you were talking, dey not Microsoft"
The other scammer across the call center: "Dude, seriously? Why?"
Scam blockers
We are not allowed to sell more than 3 gift cards of the same “brand” at a time, unless authorised by a store manager… it’s for scams I’m guessing like this.
Your too kind.
@@cowboy7238 yes, too kind for following company policy.
I dont see how blocking a hacker with gift cards is supposed to work. I mean the scam is absolutely ridiculous and making no sense.
@@vanessaruiz4705 Nor does your comment. I don't see how it pertains to anything else posted here.
@@ephgm Yeah and I dont see why you think you got power to offend someone. So lame.
I love when P says okay and hangs up on the scammers! 😂😂😂
Such a nice scammer, warning this old lady of that other scammer. How sweet of him.
I'm gonna be honest, as depressing as it is that these scammers do this to people, it's more depressing that the scammers don't bat and eyelid when this "victim" is so miscompliant and obstructive; they're evidently used to interacting with people so old that this kind of adled incoherency is normal to them.
well duh
an* eyelid.
@@coltonsmith3270 cringe. you knew what he meant. no one thinks you’re smart because you corrected someone’s typo.
Right?! It’s disgusting
@@deagle2yadome696 The idiom is "bat an eye." The only thing cringeworthy is you whiteknighting for a functional illiterate and misusing the word "cringe."
This awareness should be run like a commercial on National TV in the USA that Amazon, Microsoft or any major organization would never ask you to buy gift cards from your local store. These scums are the worst possible parasites who feed on the helpless elderly. As an Indian i have the utmost respect for you and the effort you are putting into it. Hope our country gets rid of such parasites soon.....
It just shows though how this is deeper than we think. This guy does this on his own back. A company like Microsoft has limitless resources; they could fine the Indian Government or they could do something to prevent this from happening. Yet with all their resources they do sweet F all.
TH-cam entertainment
The fact is no one has a reason to buy thousands of dollars of gift cards at once... it likely happens EXTREMELY rarely... so companies simply making it policy when someone goes to buy quite a few to expressly state their are scams where they claim to be from X company and get you to buy them for a refund etc... are you doing this because someone told you to?
Not just India or Indian folk. It's everywhere in all sorts of different people and ways. These are just the most popular for phone scams. As a white American, I also respect your concern. 🤟
A TH-cam channel called Trilogy Media, has helped at least 4 scammers get out of what they are doing and helping shut down the scam centers in India. It is very sad that some of these scammers are forced to do this, because of their financial situation. The one guy on there told a story about how when he was working there before he left that their call center got raided and everyone got arrested. His boss basically paid of the authorities to release everyone, but if they refused to come back to work for him he would make sure they were put back in jail.
Keep up the great work man exposing these lowlifes
These animations are hilarious, keep up with the good work! 🙂
That green screen editing with the scenes as if you are the victim is fun to watch and entertaining. I never seen anybody doing this.
Right, same
When the car hit the trash can...then the cat running away I busted out laughing 😃 😀 😄
Kitga, boda, and several others also do the green screen thing.
