@@akmalrafiaa4772 No in India people are not aware of these scammers, as in India there are other banking scams going on over the phone targeting old retired person, also there are lot of Nigerians are involve running these scams why it also known as 419 scam.
@Mr Liquid Devil Indeed when I was in US 2 years back I was about to get scammed in name of IRS, initially I was convinced as they had all my details including my passport number, but luckily I went a near by police station near my office and after listening to the call the officer told me its a scam and not to answer their call.
@Mr Liquid Devil Yes, at this point you have to assume every Indian is a scammer, to some degree. Which is a real shame because Indian immigrants are quick to assimilate into our culture. They go out of their way to adopt and embrace the American culture, especially when it comes to sports and Indian children are always spelling bee champions. Just wish people in India would take these scammers seriously and put a stop to these shady operations.
They definitely say they attempt to stop it for publicity reasons. Each Target is drastically diffrent, at my target we were allowed to deny people from buying gift cards over $250 if we suspected scams. I worked there for 2 years and they always had that policy, but I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere with a lot of elderly people. I can see how it would be much more difficult to dictate if it's a scam or not I much larger city where people do regularly buy $500 worth of gift cards.
@@taylerjcox stop defending her she clearly did not care at all just trying to save her own neck (which wasn't even on the line) ie. "we're doing our part sir" clearly if you were doing your part your would ask for a bit more info. She was self interested and selfish simple
@@franciscogrant5944 they aren't defending her. They're saying that she is lying and that you can stop people from buying gift cards if you detect a scam (whereas the Target lady said they couldn't). I'm pretty sure they would also agree that that lady didn't care at all because anyone with ears could tell she couldn't care less💀
That Target lady is just a representation of every institution/agency's attitudes. Law enforcement has every ability to put a stop to these scams overnight, even without cooperation from Indian authorities, but they don't do it because there's no financial incentive for them to care. In Target's case, they get money from people buying their gift cards, so they couldn't care less if it was for legitimate reasons or to give to scammers. They get their money either way.
The gift card scam is rampant. If you have older relatives using their computer online to access their banking accounts ... warn them of these scams. Alreadyy had 2 calls trying to scam me one was pretending to be an IRS agent ! Beware these guys are working non stop !
Doing this on a purely volunteer basis, and not asking for compensation, is the best example among many I've seen recently. Thanks for all you do "Vlad" 🤣 🇷🇺
I’m so sorry 😞 for that don’t know wanna save people from these scamers. One of friend was working for a scam call center who loot people on name of their health insurance claim once I visit his office which was under construction. I feel really weird after I visit and another moment I called cops and the office got raided by CBI. Now all the culprits are behind bars. Real india is totally different from what they are doing online nowadays.
@@gouravpandey3128 Really? Man that's awesome to hear. From what I know watching Scambaiting youtube content, a lot of the scam call centers are able to easily bribe police to the point where scam center hotbeds like Kolkata have police that are absolutely *useless* when it comes to dealing with scammers. Hell, Jim Browning and Trilogy Media got this fraud company called RMV, which was secretly hosting a scam call center, raided by the police. However, their slimeshit director Rajesh Goenka (owner of RMV) and his skank wife (co-director) were, according to Jim Browning, not arrested & prosecuted along with his henchmen due to having too many connections in the area. Sad stuff man. Evil shits like him deserve to be executed by firing squad for ruining so many people's lives just to live in luxury.
The fact that this guy protects 70-year old women from the US, while himself being Dutch or Flemish against Indian scammers from India might be the biggest international operation we've noticed in a while
It really goes to show how old people can be taken advantage of easily when she says “how do I know your a scam investigator” after willing buying gift cards for someone she doesn’t know at all
They are just hungry for sob stories to save the world from home. But as soon as you go straight, not sob story, just straight facts, they ignore you. He is gotta be like: "hey lady, don't buy gift cards for them, those gift cards are bad for the planet and you kill a bunny each time you buy one" and then you will have their attention.
Yeah. The question is so far beyond the point. If someone calls you and even mentions "being scammed" it doesn't matter if it's a prank call or what, just stop for a second and think about what's happening.
@@arnorobinwerkman Having worked on the tech side and with customer service at target, they don't train you for this. Their security usually deals with it, not the employees. They were probably just shocked, or at first thought it was some sort of prank call. They do other types of training to protect store assets, but they don't really teach you much about looking out for people getting scammed. Personally for the years I worked there, we never let a single person buy a bunch of gift cards as everyone knew it was suspicious.
@@frenlyfren The cards are non-refundable. So once you give the scammers the code, they redeem it and it can’t be reversed. There’s no way to get your money back.
@@RosieWilliamOlivia Some progressive states have elderly protection laws. In my state, banks and some with professional licenses have legal obligations to protect vulnerable populations and are insulated from liability when they do so in good faith.
My mom taught me to always accept calls from scammers and lead them on for as long as possible to *f*ck with them* but also to waste their time so they couldn't scam anyone else during that time. What you are doing is amazing! A true hero.
There are scammers selling phone numbers. They cold call or have bots placing calls all hours of the day just waiting for someone to pick up. If you do they know the line is live and sell that information.
I had tears in my eyes that you not only take the time to do this but you put extra efforts into protecting them. Searching for ways to contact them, blocking gift cards buys, getting the gift cards shut down, etc. My heart goes out to you and I just wanted to say thank you! You are such an incredible soul.
I know this is a old video, but it is wonderful to know that there is someone who is decent and positive in the world we are living in these days. Thank you for protecting these vulnerable people. Terrific job.
22:40 "The scammer was not really talkative. He was not planning on giving me any more content and didn't say a lot of words. So after this I decided it was time for me to destroy his entire call center to see if he maybe he would like to talk to me once I got control over his entire call center." Tldr: he damaged their computers for content?
@@tarmon768 so you siding that scammer? Thats a fucking scammer, they might have stolen yr mums or your relative money if this dude didnt stop them. For god sake, are u one of em?
@@jaiicurl6171 EDIT: please click read more and read the rest of it, I would rather this comment not be misread or something, I just wanted to try and clear things up, and pray that I'm right in the process I think his point was not to defend the scammer, even if he did, but to mention that although he saved some vicims from disaster, he also destroyed their computers, which is a crime, even if it is justified in this case. it is a bit of a weird way of saying it, given that destroying a pc isnt great on the morality thing, but saving someone from going bankrupt and having to essentially reinvent themselves to be safe from these pricks in india is nothing short of heroic, maybe even saving a few lives, given the weight of it all. and although I'm usually against destroying a computer, given that I don't usually know anything about the person losing their pc, this is one of the few cases where I'm all for it, Especially after seeing what happened.
@@gianni-julianocereghino5737 oh there most definitely are. from what little experience I have of my own, white hats (that Ive known) tend to avoid system infiltration, which is why I am personally pretty wary of anyone hacking systems, good or bad. in this youtuber's case though, I believe he is a good guy at heart, maybe just made some bad descisions in his past or something, given how knowledgable he is at hacking PCs. experience is experience, good or bad. it is all dependant on how you use that experience, not what the experience is about.
If Vladimir could stop the people from the vaguely described warranty department that has called my phone weekly over the last few years, I would be so happy..
Man, I swear to God when you saved that lady from being scammed I literally felt my tears coming up. You, the ones who fight scammers and hackers, are the new heroes of this digitalised world. Thank you
@@ThePeacePlant I just think that some people are more sensible than others, or more touched by certain things. Maybe I have tears when I see someone defending or saving weak old people, someone else might cry because the team he supports loses a game, which never happened to me, but I don't see it as overbord, it only depends on the sensibility of the person and the importance given😁
The evolution from scambaiting is crazy it went from "stalling a scammer" to "completely destroying an intire scam call center with one virus" keep up the amazing work! And thanks for everything you do for people.
What really upset me is that the Target rep didn't seem to give a shit. Saying they have notes on the register. Guess what? I worked retail and our computers had software in place to prevent this. While we legally couldn't stop it the computer would tell us to document it on paper with the purchaser which btw discouraged this almost 100% btw this is a convience store.
@Terrific Tape you think an old lady can handly a different OS than Windows? people nowadays need that GUI. Also there are the same types of scams for linux or any other OS... In fact most hackers use linux systems and are more familiare with those and therefore better in hacking other linux systems. Thats why even tho linux counts as being safer its kinda not
I am an Indian and thank you for exposing these scammers. Anyone who knows how to hack if you are reading this please continue to expose our scammers and additionally add a complaint to our state's police websites so that further legal action could be taken.
How is he the scammer? He’s not hacking to take advantage of innocent victims, try to con them out of thousands and thousands of dollars and/or create fear, desperation and helplessness. He’s “hacking” to put a stop to these heartless heinous acts. Channels like this or Jim Browning helped save potential victims some of which were mere moments away from falling for these scams. He did thorough investigations of a call center that went worldwide on the news which which completely dismantled their entire operation. Unfortunately the only way to really combat these scammers is being a bit tech savvy and fighting fire with fire. Your comment was just ignorant.
Got a lot of respect for you, homie. Indian government really should step up and stop being ignorant about it. People are not only being manipulated and robbed, it also creates unnecessary racism towards Indian people.
"System bandh karo" means "shut down the system", these cockroaches were definitely panicking! Really appreciate your work and thank you for your contribution in making this world a better place!
@@methamphetamememcmeth3422 Dude! You stole my words. It's so ironic that they said that. I feel like these are the kind of men who don't mind raping vulnerable women. The way they were talking.....

I'm from Kolkata and I've really been been addicted to your content since the past two days. It makes me feel ashamed knowing that these creatures are from the same country, heck, the same city as me. Thank you for doing God's work.
As an old-school hacker from the late 80's I want to say I really, really appreciate what you are doing. It's great to see such skills used to protect people from scammers. We need more people like you! You may not care for labels but you are certainly a 'white hat' in my book. Keep up the awesome work!
This guy is a hero man. This type of stuff brings tears to my eyes and makes me believe theres still hope for humanity. Idk how anyone could take advantage of poor old ladies like that. Theres some sick people out there. Keep exposing them man. It just sucks the feds cant do a damn thing about it.
Bro I watched many scammer hunters in YT and I gotta say, you're the most skillful of them all. Its almost scary on what you can do Thank goodness your on the good side. Keep up the good work!
Goverment never stops shit its just there to pretend that they care about the situation lol, but also blame call center companies for hiring forgiens to do the calls, because people who aren't racist would still trust someone whos forgien and has accent
Unless the police arrest them all better to have full control of the scammed system (instead of destroying them) because once they get hacked once they might take more steps to protect them self's having a key logger running to capture all numbers is recommended so you could have gotten her number (surprised it wasn't shown on the voip software) Scammers are not that smart to tell the difference between someone controlling there pc or the remote pc usually (they just assume its the remote pc doing it)
"How do I know you're a scam investigator?" Ma'am, you believed a guy from India was some magical support deity and gave him full unattended remote access to your PC *and* you were buying tons of gift cards for him! Only *now* you're skeptical? At least better than never.
Dude I love how humble and patient you are with all the people along the way. You were so patient with the target lady and so genuine with the lady getting scammed. I really respect your skill, professionalism, and empathy.
@@Lewis01Brown They can easily start a fraud claim with financial institutions. If Amazon wants, they could dump toxic waste in your backyard. Jeff Bezos could personally come to your house, punch you and your family in the face and get away with it. They have ways to get that money back. Banning you from Amazon would probably do the trick though.
That's what I'm saying. I would be like that's a you problem have fun explaining that to your boss. Then hang up and block the number and change all my passwords
That "thank you" from the woman was so sincere.. My heart breaks everytime someone innocent gets scammed (especially elderly people).. Thank you for doing this world a favor and warning scam victims.. I really just found your channel about 1 hour ago and cannot stop watching. I admire you a lot. Keep up the good work!💕
Vladimir: "I will hack your entire call center." Scammer: "Yea sure." Vladimir: *actually hacks entire call center* They were nowhere close to ready for that.
Shame he forgot to turn off the voice changer at the end, it spoiled the illusion somewhat. "Vlad" : I'm a bad angry Russian hacker... Also "Vlad" : OK, give me one minute.
When I was laid off during covid I spent hours on the phones with scammers giving them faulty information, pretending to do what they were telling me to do…. Even had my roommate pretend to be my banker. Partly out of boredom but I figure if I’m on the phone with them they can’t be scamming someone else. The longer I delay them the better. I tried to get multiple people in the office involved by calling the intro person back and the second and third person at the same time and pretending to be confused about who I’m supposed to talk to. It was honestly a lot of fun and a good deed
Yep!!! Anything helps! This is perfect for those of us who don't have cybersecurity training. 5 minutes wasting a scammer's time is 5 minutes that they're not swindling our neighbor or grandparents.
I got pretty close to crying when you were helping the 70 year old woman... thank you for helping my fellow countrymen/women. You're a good dude. Merry Christmas
It's best that scam baiters stay out of the news. It's shitty that there is zero coverage of these scams though, it'd help people ignorant of the problem from getting hurt.
What you're doing is complexly amazing. You're going a couple steps beyond most scam trolling channels. You're not only exposing and explaining the scams, but you are actively giving the victims a chance to get their lives and sense of security back. Scammers do way more than just taking people's money and information. They instill a sense of fear and helplessness into people that is hard to come back from psychologically. Thank you so much for having the knowledge and morality to help people in the ways that you do.
At any time you could just scam people and you could hack many peoples computers and accounts, but you are a good person and have a good side and you are a gift to have for people that don't have great knowledge about scamming and the internet. You are a super hero on the internet.
I just can’t grasp how these scammers live with themselves after they hurt people !!! It’s so disturbing and disgusting !!! Your channel came up in my feed, and I’m so glad I found you. You’re a hero for fighting scammers Brother !!! 🙏🏼
And how do people that work for payday loans justify their existence? How do people that commit identity theft or credit card fraud live with themselves? There are morally ambiguous people and plain scumbags everywhere. Mind you, I ain't defending the scammers - I despise them.
His logic is pretty dumb, He'd rather not get caught by scammers then stop a victim from losing their money most of the time, How childish, Stopping people actually getting scammed is like 8th on his priority, He just wants a video where he trolls them.

How she immediately distrusts him rings very loud with what we deal with at work sometimes. I work for a web hosting company, and quite often we'll get a new customer that takes advantage of our free migrations service. They'll be coming from one of a number of our competitors that, and I hate to say this, but it looks exactly like they're trying to sabotage anyone leaving. Sometimes from killing the backup process to copy over their accounts, or if they offer domain registration act like they don't know what dns is when the customer needs help making changes on their end. More often than not, even after complaining about the reason they're leaving the old host and how that had gone on for so long and been so bad, they will take everything the old host says as pure gospel. Absolute truth, no need for any proof or anything. Whereas every single character of every single word that we say requires it's own full 3 page thesis to defend it. It frustrates me beyond belief.
Right? I mean, she couldn't even understand who is more trustable: some guys with very bad English asking her for a lot of money and personal information and another guy, who is telling her, she's being scammed and who is not demanding from her to tell her personal information and buy him gift cards.
Do not feel bad for the actions of others. I can tell you right now I have met many fantastic Indian doctors, academics, and bankers. The awful scammers, would do this to other Indians also and probably do.
That arrogant Target employee really ticked me off. The store does indeed have the right to refuse service to anyone as long as it is grounded in legitimate reasoning. She's a nimrod for seriously allowing someone to purchase a gift card with full consciousness that they may be scammed.
Yea worked for Target and they specifically told employees to do anything to discourage a guest from purchasing a gift card if we suspected it to be a scam. In the time I was there I helped at least 5 people understand they were being the victim of a scam. Most of them were old people but there was a woman who was definitely under 40 trying to buy a $1500 gift card because her boss said he needed it but she didn't recognize the email address from her boss at all.
You'd get the same response from local police so it's not just Target. You have to understand they didn't hire that girl to be some kind of fraud expert or anything. Most places like Walgreens/CVS have the "dont buy gift cards for people you don't know" signs everywhere and even displayed on the credit card machine display. Gas stations however I have not seen much warning about scams but also gas stations now have "Bitcoin ATMs" in most of them. The scammers instead need to instruct people to visit gas stations which have less of these warnings to get the success rate back up.
There should be an international crime taskforce to prosecute these soulless rodents. I hope Brenda watches this video & can properly appreciate what you did for her.
Sadly I think the lack of a crime taskforce is the problem. Here very few people get prosecuted, as law enforcement aren’t interested. Another example is the Target employee who Scambaiter talked to on the phone. She had no interest in stopping the victim from buying $500 gift cards
@Reg Montour I can't tell if your trolling, or if your actually a scammer yourself. And to boast about your credit cards "huge" balance is beyond me, why are you flexing someone else' money, I am beyond baffled at this comment.
well, even a senior would get freaked out when the pc is doing things without their doing or control, I would be more wary than the scammer too if I found out a hacker was in total control of my pc, not many people outside of the internet are really all that aware of the social engineering aspect of this type of thing, they only ever really see from movies and tv the technical side of things, and see how badly things can get screwed up with the technical side of things.
You are a GOOD Man. God will reward you. I ran a VM, and one of them, I simply let him get on with his password change. A quick restore of the VM from my network drive I called the scammer back in 5 minutes with a fully working computer. The next hour was PURE GOLD!
@@darrylkinslow5613 notify me the day you see the FBI helping an elderly women that got scammed by call centers in India. I’m not dissing the fbi, they handle « more important » things, but still, you can’t say that the FBI is a team that actively tries to take down Indian scam call centers, they are beyond that.
Even if they spent 20 million a year on hiring a small army of hackers to stop scammers it would actually save the US economy hundreds of millions by keeping that money in the country.
It's absolutely crazy how these people fully believe the scammers, yet when you reach out to them they suddenly have common sense and think you're the scammer.
They don't want to admit to themselves that they fell for a scammer "because they are too smart for that". People don't want to be seen as a fool. Even after they find out they've been scammed many won't even report it because they are too ashamed of themselves. When someone reaches out to help them, their cognitive dissonance kicks in persuading them that a new person is a bad person because there's no way they could fall for a scam like that. It's the same mental phenomena that keeps people in bad relationships or even chasing after losses in the stock market. In a way, this is similar to the Backfire Effect. effectiviology.com/backfire-effect-facts-dont-change-minds/
It’s the same even with my family members, trying to explain those frauds and talk them out won’t work either, they rather listen to direct commands from some asshole than common sense.
That's because, while talking to the scammer, the victim has no suspicion of anything going wrong. But, as soon as the baiter mentions a scam, that idea comes to the front of the victim's mind. Either she's been scammed earlier or she's being scammed right now; if not both! Having no particular ability to discern, the victim assesses that the baiter is 50+% likely to be a scammer.
Thank you for everything you do man. The worst is that these scammers target the elderly who don’t know any better when it comes to technology. These are the grimiest pieces of shit on the planet. You, on the other hand, are a hero. Not only do you take down scammers, but you also help those who have fell victim to them. I’m definitely subscribing and supporting you in any way I can.
As an Indian I appreciate you helping others from these scammers... These scammers are a disgrace.. They scam even local people especially the old age group who has limited knowledge about all these online payment systems.
My mother fell victim to one of these scams about three months ago as she is now 78 and she gave about 6400 u.s dollars and I couldn’t stop it and I am very happy that people like you help people that get scammed
Sorry for the scam my friend , these scammers really should be behind the bars for doing so, unfortunately they are roaming out free. Most of us Indians aren't familiar with these scam parts as these people basically target Foreigners, these people are sick.
This happened to a local elderly lady last year. Thankfully the cashier at the store questioned why she was buying all the gift cards and refused to sell them to her and told her she was being scammed. Thank Goodness. You are a modern day “Cyber Robin Hood”.
I wish more shop staff would realise that they can do the same and even if they can't convince the victim they CAN REFUSE to sell the cards. Seen too many saying "we have to sell them" which isn't the case.
@@Pizzaboy4president Yeah, until the scammers start stealing money directly from the government itself, that is. Then you'll see black pyjama-clad men with M4's wearing balaclavas fast-roping from a hovering Blackhawk onto the rooftop of some office building located in a Calcutta business park before you know what's happening..

From what I know watching Scambaiting youtube content, a lot of the scam call centers are able to easily bribe police to the point where scam center hotbeds like Kolkata have police that are absolutely *useless* when it comes to dealing with scammers.
Hell, Jim Browning and Trilogy Media got this fraud company called RMV, which was secretly hosting a scam call center, raided by the police. However, their slimeshit director Rajesh Goenka (owner of RMV) and his skank wife (co-director) were, according to Jim Browning, not arrested & prosecuted along with his henchmen due to having too many connections in the area.

That Target employee needs a course in customer service and fraud prevention.

@@arnorobinwerkman Having worked on the tech side and with customer service at target, they don't train you for this. Their security usually deals with it, not the employees. They were probably just shocked, or at first thought it was some sort of prank call. They do other types of training to protect store assets, but they don't really teach you much about looking out for people getting scammed. Personally for the years I worked there, we never let a single person buy a bunch of gift cards as everyone knew it was suspicious.

I think his point was not to defend the scammer, even if he did, but to mention that although he saved some vicims from disaster, he also destroyed their computers, which is a crime, even if it is justified in this case.
it is a bit of a weird way of saying it, given that destroying a pc isnt great on the morality thing, but saving someone from going bankrupt and having to essentially reinvent themselves to be safe from these pricks in india is nothing short of heroic, maybe even saving a few lives, given the weight of it all.
and although I'm usually against destroying a computer, given that I don't usually know anything about the person losing their pc, this is one of the few cases where I'm all for it, Especially after seeing what happened.

They'll be coming from one of a number of our competitors that, and I hate to say this, but it looks exactly like they're trying to sabotage anyone leaving. Sometimes from killing the backup process to copy over their accounts, or if they offer domain registration act like they don't know what dns is when the customer needs help making changes on their end.
More often than not, even after complaining about the reason they're leaving the old host and how that had gone on for so long and been so bad, they will take everything the old host says as pure gospel. Absolute truth, no need for any proof or anything. Whereas every single character of every single word that we say requires it's own full 3 page thesis to defend it. It frustrates me beyond belief.

Yea worked for Target and they specifically told employees to do anything to discourage a guest from purchasing a gift card if we suspected it to be a scam. In the time I was there I helped at least 5 people understand they were being the victim of a scam. Most of them were old people but there was a woman who was definitely under 40 trying to buy a $1500 gift card because her boss said he needed it but she didn't recognize the email address from her boss at all.
she needs to be sacked
You'd get the same response from local police so it's not just Target. You have to understand they didn't hire that girl to be some kind of fraud expert or anything. Most places like Walgreens/CVS have the "dont buy gift cards for people you don't know" signs everywhere and even displayed on the credit card machine display. Gas stations however I have not seen much warning about scams but also gas stations now have "Bitcoin ATMs" in most of them. The scammers instead need to instruct people to visit gas stations which have less of these warnings to get the success rate back up.
probably some useless wagecuck teenager stealing Target's money by spending worktime on the phone
@@BangBangBang.bro..?
Love the "# 1 Russian Hacker" touch, especially the "you scammed my mother" line, and how the hackers took the bate! Thanks for your great work
This dude scares the shit outta me. I love he’s on our side but imagine if he wasn’t!
All the worlds nukes just launched into outer space.
Hahahaha agreed.
No frfr. I've never seen a video like this and I'm tripping out. O my Lord 😂😂😂
But I'm so happy to see a good person do good things... It's really cool I love it.
USA all the hydrogen bombs hacked... wait for it
As an Indian, it feels so good that you're hunting down such filthy creatures with appropriate treatment they deserve! ❣️ From India
Why don’t you stop them they’re in your country …
@@hazerr9408 hey bro, that guy basically don't know who the scammers are. In the same way that you don't know about the psychopaths in your country.
@@hazerr9408 This sentence is just absurd and hilarious in so many levels
Yes , we are all grateful from all over the world ,,,I’m sick of them calling me,,,,,,monsters under any flag too! 🌈👵🏻🇨🇦🤍🕊🙏🏼🕊🤍
@@hazerr9408 😆😆😆😆
Educating and helping out the vulnerable, you’re a good man.
There should be an international crime taskforce to prosecute these soulless rodents.
I hope Brenda watches this video & can properly appreciate what you did for her.
Sadly I think the lack of a crime taskforce is the problem. Here very few people get prosecuted, as law enforcement aren’t interested.
Another example is the Target employee who Scambaiter talked to on the phone. She had no interest in stopping the victim from buying $500 gift cards
They need a black site put in some 3rd world country to snatch, grab and dump those clowns in. Disappear them.
Yes.....
It's both scary and annoying when they try to americanise accents with their pronunciation... Which is so poor.
@Reg Montour I can't tell if your trolling, or if your actually a scammer yourself. And to boast about your credit cards "huge" balance is beyond me, why are you flexing someone else' money, I am beyond baffled at this comment.
This guy could do some serious damage if he wanted. Using his super powers for good rather than evil, RESPECT 🤛
It’s harder to convince people that they’re being scammed than to actually scam them!
well, even a senior would get freaked out when the pc is doing things without their doing or control, I would be more wary than the scammer too if I found out a hacker was in total control of my pc, not many people outside of the internet are really all that aware of the social engineering aspect of this type of thing, they only ever really see from movies and tv the technical side of things, and see how badly things can get screwed up with the technical side of things.
@@devin59320 I’m glad someone is doing something to stop them
@@RMGCBG honestly same here
Just gotta be good
It’s pride. No one wants to admit they were duped.
You are a GOOD Man. God will reward you.
I ran a VM, and one of them, I simply let him get on with his password change. A quick restore of the VM from my network drive I called the scammer back in 5 minutes with a fully working computer. The next hour was PURE GOLD!
the government should commission an army of guys like you and finally stop this madness, thanks for the good you are doing !
They have one, it's called FBI.
@@darrylkinslow5613 notify me the day you see the FBI helping an elderly women that got scammed by call centers in India.
I’m not dissing the fbi, they handle « more important » things, but still, you can’t say that the FBI is a team that actively tries to take down Indian scam call centers, they are beyond that.
Even if they spent 20 million a year on hiring a small army of hackers to stop scammers it would actually save the US economy hundreds of millions by keeping that money in the country.
Our governments are busy making fake "security" accusations against Huawei, when they happily leave this going on for years.
@@nomayor1 how are those accusations fake? Is it not a Chinese law that the company has to hand over all Information to the government?
It's absolutely crazy how these people fully believe the scammers, yet when you reach out to them they suddenly have common sense and think you're the scammer.
Exactly what I was thinking. This lack of perspective makes them the perfect victims, unfortunately.
They don't want to admit to themselves that they fell for a scammer "because they are too smart for that". People don't want to be seen as a fool. Even after they find out they've been scammed many won't even report it because they are too ashamed of themselves.
When someone reaches out to help them, their cognitive dissonance kicks in persuading them that a new person is a bad person because there's no way they could fall for a scam like that. It's the same mental phenomena that keeps people in bad relationships or even chasing after losses in the stock market.
In a way, this is similar to the Backfire Effect.

It’s the same even with my family members, trying to explain those frauds and talk them out won’t work either, they rather listen to direct commands from some asshole than common sense.
This is how the whole world works apparently...
That's because, while talking to the scammer, the victim has no suspicion of anything going wrong. But, as soon as the baiter mentions a scam, that idea comes to the front of the victim's mind. Either she's been scammed earlier or she's being scammed right now; if not both! Having no particular ability to discern, the victim assesses that the baiter is 50+% likely to be a scammer.
Thank you for everything you do man. The worst is that these scammers target the elderly who don’t know any better when it comes to technology. These are the grimiest pieces of shit on the planet. You, on the other hand, are a hero. Not only do you take down scammers, but you also help those who have fell victim to them. I’m definitely subscribing and supporting you in any way I can.
It happens to all ages, unfortunately.
As a person of Indian origin I salute you. Thank you so much for what you're doing. Scamming destroys lives.
Doing a saint's work Vladimir. The elderly are the most susceptible to these scammer scumbags.
As an Indian I appreciate you helping others from these scammers... These scammers are a disgrace.. They scam even local people especially the old age group who has limited knowledge about all these online payment systems.
Old people really are the target groups
@@user-whomst well, as you can see I'm not wrong
Because you didn't gave a reason why they shouldn't be
@@user-whomst it doesn't work like that

My mother fell victim to one of these scams about three months ago as she is now 78 and she gave about 6400 u.s dollars and I couldn’t stop it and I am very happy that people like you help people that get scammed
Sorry for the scam my friend , these scammers really should be behind the bars for doing so, unfortunately they are roaming out free. Most of us Indians aren't familiar with these scam parts as these people basically target Foreigners, these people are sick.
I wish I was in a position to hire you to assemble a team to continually work on stopping these scumbags.
Well done mate. Absolutely amazing job 👍
This happened to a local elderly lady last year. Thankfully the cashier at the store questioned why she was buying all the gift cards and refused to sell them to her and told her she was being scammed. Thank Goodness. You are a modern day “Cyber Robin Hood”.
Share this video with everyone you know.
I wish more shop staff would realise that they can do the same and even if they can't convince the victim they CAN REFUSE to sell the cards.
Seen too many saying "we have to sell them" which isn't the case.
Litterally found ur channel 30 minutes ago and can’t stop watching it
So 1 video?
@@michaelharper620 well longer then half an hour proably like an hour and a half but I love him crashing there pc’s
This is better than netflix shows.. :) hahahaha
once you start binge watching you won’t be able to stop 😂
Same happened here long ago
Love you guys. So sad that private citizens have to do this, yet law enforcement has let it happen for years.
Almost like they don't care.
@@Pizzaboy4president Yeah, until the scammers start stealing money directly from the government itself, that is. Then you'll see black pyjama-clad men with M4's wearing balaclavas fast-roping from a hovering Blackhawk onto the rooftop of some office building located in a Calcutta business park before you know what's happening..
it's like cops aren't actually required to do anything at all
Excactly you are right
its like they get bribed :)
Companies shouls stop using Indian call centres and tech services until all these evil thieves are shut down.
Between you and just a few other TH-camrs, you’ve done more than the entire cyber crime division combined. Thank you for everything you do. It’s fun to watch some content creators waste their time but at the same time I really enjoy watching them get what they deserve.
It’s not a waste of time if he’s helping people and creating valuable content for his audience
It's to bad you cant make their computers literally explode. These people are nothing but disgusting bottom feeders, keep up the good work!
You can make their CPU’s heat up so much that the pc catches fire.
@@jeromeclaessen3921 sadly unless there cooling set up is just horrible even the heaviest of things like prime 95 you could run on a pc would not get it any where near that at best maybe it blue screens from overheating but cpus have built in fail safes and throttle pretty hard before it even gets to that and then they just blue screen shut off at around 105c depending on the model of the cpu
@@leamir0 It’s impossible to brick a modern CPU with high temperatures, it will simply downclock as long as it needs to preserve itself before ultimately shutting down.
@@jeromeclaessen3921 HOW do you make their pc catch fire ? EVERYBODY should be given info on scammers and how to make the scum burn .
@@jeromeclaessen3921 That's not possible since it would need to be physically damaged in the first place to occur (such as a short). There is no such event that could physically damage any computer. It's a myth that you could physically damage computer hardware remotely.
Honestly mad respect for taking the attitude from the victims and also for going out of your way to explain everything until they understand it fully.
Thank you! y'all are heroes! ❤
The thought that a scam victim would develop trust issues yet still determined to pay the scammers out of fear is really heart-breaking.
Its easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled.
