When not minding your business pays off.
I never liked people who always want to tell others to mind their own business. Sometimes you NEED to get involved.
@@vxy357 uhhhhh no. Mind your OWN damn business weirdo. Unless it's a situation like this or a robbery or felony crime. Otherwise gtfo 🖕
It's called common sense.
@@jcjammer1 and what does that mean in todays society? If you are under 30, keep living and you will see common sense is not to common.
Nah, I still mind my own business 😅
That's probably all the money that poor old lady has to live on for the rest of her life. These dirty scammers prey on the vulnerable like her. The lady who tried to stop her and called 911 is a hero.
unfortunately, there are many Indians that came through our southern border just the last four years doing this type of scams in person now, but instead of bitcoin, the scammer would convince the elderly person to convert the life savings into gold bars😢😢😢
Yeah and what about the dumb asses at the bank that let the lady withdraw thousands in cash - I bet nobody there tried to inquire as to what she was up to.
Real beekeeper
My mom has a landline, still. Her first name is clearly an old name, that puts a target on her from these thieving Indians.
Luckily we live in America. Where we take care of our citizens with free shelter and Healthcare.
That woman who actually stopped the scam is a diamond
they all were, the woman tried to stop her but the old lady wouldnt so the police got there and stopped her.
Those store owners know the bitcoin ATM is used from fraud ……
That woman is a hero. This happens to older people every day. These scammers are despicable.
This happens to ALL people every day. Take care not to fall into a false sense of security by deflecting onto others.
@@barbarakauppi9915this didn’t happen to me yesterday. Go read a dictionary before you get on your high horse about correcting strangers on the internet.
@@barbarakauppi9915 what??? The ELDERLY are targeted and fall for these scams every day. Not younger normally functioning adults. I receive scam calls, and don’t answer them, and would never be in a gas station depositing $20k into a CRYPTO ATM fearing for my life being berated by Indian people in the phone. An elderly man recently shot and killed an innocent elderly woman bc he was in fear of the scammers who were harassing and threatening him in the phone. It’s okay to highlight that our elders are the main victims. I feel secure. But thank you.
Those scammers are from india
❤
The hero is the woman who called 911 to protect an elderly woman who did not know needed to be protected!! She deserves a medal! Raise! Something!!
The lady who called 911 tried to stop her and she won’t listen, so she asked for help by calling 911, if the dispatcher and the cop did not take the call seriously, the old woman would be in huge trouble. All of them played a huge part equally!
This is exactly the same in the stock markets. Except nobody cares.
Amen!!!
Not really. I regularly do "good deeds." Most people are grateful and, even if not expressed verbally, it's sufficient. I don't deserve, need, want nor expect anything in return. The best thanks is always to pay it forward.
@@TG-ke9ve If the cops hadn't been called, they could not have helped. All players are not equal. More often than not, the "first responders" are really second responders. However, the fact that they have more training, and in some cases more authority can help them to be more effective in responding.
The sigh of relief I just let out when the reporter said "the woman will get her $23,000 back" - sentences for these scammer should be so long. Look out for your grandparents if you have them, hell even your parents.
Same!
the problem is that most of them are in india. they're not even in the US.
The lady who called 911 is the real person who saved the orderly lady’s money. God bless her!!!
We need people like that in real world and more humanity!!!!
The problem is that if you step in they will not listen to you and think you're the Evil one!
To think the woman was still arguing with the cop😅
Calling 911 usually ends up badly for everyone involved
I give a huge thank you to them both! So thankful they teames up and saved this sweet little woman of giving her life savings to this piece of trash. Look out for your elderly!
@@ejirogheneokotie90
That's exactly what they do! They will get angry and abuse you if you try to stop them. Some people just have to learn the hard way!
The woman was terrified that she would get into trouble if she did not send the money.
Scammers are skilled at manipulating for money.
Thanks for getting this stopped.
Reminds me of an elderly relative of mine who is always very scared when receiving unsolicited phone calls. Sad how these people manipulate the vulnerable.
This happened at my workplace. An elderly woman was trying to send $40,000 in cash to a lonely heart scammer. The police were contacted. The police set up an operation to catch the guy and the police also contacted her son. There are too many wicked people in this world.
I’m glad that lady stopped for fuel and cash. It’s the right place at the right time.
😊
Would be great if India's authorities would go after all these scammers in their nation, but they're probably taking money from them to look the other way.
Thanks to the wonderful woman who called the police and the cop who stopped her from losing all that money. I hope the woman has someone at home to prevent her from getting scammed again.
❤amazing ❤
That’s what I’d be worried about, she’s on their radar now and who knows what all information they’ve scammed out of her earlier! Thanks to that see something say something attitude of that customer! She’s angel! Glad the cop was able to stop her!
@@patroberts5449 You're right - once they get you to talk to them, they never let up. I had to get control of my parent's finances and limit their ability to spend/withdraw cash. They even read obituaries to get family names to call and pretend like your grandson needs bail money or is hurt.
@@blautens they are awful and relentless!
Hopefully she got help and changed her phone number. I missed a phone doctors appt because I had all unknown calls go straight to voicemail. I take it off now when I have a phone appt.I almost got scammed by a bank text but I called my bank directly and they were able to show me the typos that made it not them .
That woman was an absolute ANGEL! You saved her!
Scammer payback needs this scammers info.
Jim browning and trilogy media too.
@@KevinRichards-my5oj They won't. The police in India are all in on it. People set up elaborate busts and give the local Indian police scam divisions all the evidence needed to convict, and they simply tip off the scammers to their up coming raids, and the places are empty by the time the cops arrive. India is 100% corrupt, from the floor to the ceiling.
Facts🙏🙏🙏🙏
@brandyroseann facts🙏
@@KevinRichards-my5oj They are all in India.
Thank goodness Ms Jordan cared enough to stop the elderly woman from throwing away her life savings on a despicable scam artist.
Scammers are the lowest of the low. Absolute vermin.
Thank goodness this innocent woman was saved by a smart kind bystander. It’s disgusting how these thieves ruin vulnerable people’s lives.
"Innocent" more like DUMB
@@joeysworldsewershe will most likely get tricked by another scam sometime soon as scammers already have her marked as an easy victim
@TheGamer14300 hopefully someone will guard her finances for her now.
@@joeysworldsewer Not "DUMB" - but gullible. I can happen to anyone!
That poor lady sounded so frightened. You could tell he was using intimidation on her. I'm glad someone saw and stepped in. Something similar happened to my grandmother years ago, but the family didn't find out until months later.
I agree. She was so terrified that she didn't even want to tell the police officer what was going on.
Don't forget to credit the young lady! If she had not acting quickly and called the police, the poor lady had been robbed blind. Thank you, young lady and thank you, police officer!
The lovely lady who noticed and reported it - YOU DID AMAZING, thank you so much for saving one more vulnerable victim from these human leeches!
Way to go citizens of Texas protecting our elders!!! Thanks to the police officer for taking the phone.
Thank you for standing up for an elderly woman.
Thank the both of these people for watching out for an elderly neighbor!!!!!
Props to the lady who called it in. Saved that poor old lady.
I was in a bank one day to get some papers notarized and while I was waiting I noticed an elderly man talking on his cell phone with the volume turned way up. I could hear a man with a foreign accent telling him he could get either an I-tunes gift card or a Steam gift card and to be sure and load them with $1000 dollars. I went to the nearest employee and told them what I heard. When I left the bank the employee I had spoken with and the branch manager were talking with the old man. I sure hope they were able to convince him not to pay anyone with gift cards.
Thank you. You are a good person. The "gift card" scam is one of the big ones right now. Hopefully the bank employees convinced him not to go through with a purchase.
Good for you for doing something. Another scam was interrupted and hopefully stopped.
When I worked at Walmart a few years back, we would get these older people (50+) buying Steam gift cards like crazy.
Like hundreds of dollars of cards at a time. Some of the customers would always show up the same time every week or every other week like clockwork.
I would try so hard to get more information as to why they're buying so many (I really doubt they played PC games like that) and I would always get push back. One lady told me that she needed them bc she was in trouble.
These were poor working folk just handing whatever little money they had over to dirt bags.
It was frustrating to say the least.
@@YaowBucketHEAD same, I confronted my first and only one during the holidays while working there and had to gently explain to him that he's being scammed (after he showed me text messages in broken English claiming it was his grandson) and to explain the situation to the help desk people. I hope he found out and is more careful now.
Well done you. We have to try to look out for each other in life. I wish my neighbour had contacted me - he paid thousands and thousands to men who called at the door to repair his roof and then mid way through the job went to get them 2k more! I could not believe it. I thought he as a wise strong 70 year old, not an utter mug. His family persuaded him to sell the house and move into their street so they could look after him which was a good thing
My mom got scammed. These people piss me off. Thank you to that lady and the officer.
This makes my heart sink. I had to stop my aunt from being scammed several times. My aunt was a smart lady in her day, she retired from IBM but these scammers were slick. They had her convinced several different times. These people are disgusting.
A smart person would verify every angle of their interaction and be very scrutinizing.
Same - my mother was an accountant, but I've had to fight this battle for years before I finally took over her finances.
Indian Scammers in India!! There are also Indian scammers in Canada!!
Always always get second opinions. If you think your bank is contacting you. Contact your bank directly instead. Find a direct phone number that isn’t the one calling you.
I am SOOOO PROUD OF THE LADY THAT INTERVENED AND THE POLICE OFFICER WHO STOPPED THIS!!!! Stealing is bad enough but when an elderly person is taken advantage of, that's so much worse!!! GOD BLESS THE TWO HEROES!!!
WOW!! I’m glad someone called the cops to stop this lady from losing all her money!
As someone who works at a bank and sees this daily, bless that cop!!!
Uh. The woman who helped her too. It wasn't just the cop. 🙄
What do you do to try and stop it from happening?
@@Underpantsniperforce India to sign extradition treaty with countries that the victims live in. Otherwise, Indian government and the regional police consider scammers intake as "foreign aid".
@@Underpantsniper sometimes you can’t do anything. Old men do it for love and to not be alone. Old ladies do it to because of the same reasons as well
@@davebleamwa2bxy799 okay but the US literally has an extradition treaty with India: www.indianembassyusa.gov.in/ArchivesDetails?id=173
so there's not really much anyone can do if it's not being properly enforced
Thank God for this woman who called 911 and the officer
Show the guys face on TV,or the news so others could see if they got scam from that same man .
@@ramrajimccoon1552 Yes, very smart would help protect people
@@ramrajimccoon1552they have absolutely no idea who tf they're really talking to. You'll never see their faces, You'll never hear their real names.

Of course... thank a cartoon character. Not the person that actually took action.
The audacity to say “it’s not your problem”🤦🏾♂️
@@ResseDfawell I do agree its not our problem
@@c.t.1413 if this was your loved one doubt you’d feel that way if someone tried stealing their life savings
People need to learn lessons the hard way I am afraid@@ResseDfa
@@ResseDfaby definition, “your” (you) problem. if it’s your (my) family, then it’s MY problem logically. Moral obligation, it’s frowned upon not to help, yes. If the elder lady was adamant on sending the money, and you physically stop her, you could face charges for doing the right thing.
@@ResseDfahe probably doesn't care about his loved ones
That woman and officer should get an award that was selfless, and is no different than a drug bust. I hope counter-hackers can find these people.
Finally, someone stops these evil scammers from taking advantage of another poor elderly person!
Look up scammer payback. They'll stop mid live stream when they hear something in the background or see it on their reverse hack and try to stop the person before they send. They'll even try to intercept the person at the bank if local to them.
Government is making money
This happened at the assisted living place I work at. A clearly distressed resident was asking for a ride to the bank and the employees could just tell something was wrong. They talked to her and after discovering she was going to send 20k to obviously a scammer they refused to let her go and called the family to come and help talk her off the cliff. Happy ending but the emotional distress these elderly people go through even IF someone stops them is so sad.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was one of the family members tryna get her money.
@@shanet7511 Dump out your baggage somewhere relevant
Yall are awesome for calling in and helping.
❤
Kudos to the lady for paying ATTN and calling the police. I hate people that mess with old people and babies.
I'm pretty sure nobody is out there scamming babies! Not as if babies have much to scam anyway....
@th-sd6ni that's where you're wrong. They get a hold of your child's social they can get credit in your kids name
@@UpsidedownC then stop handing out your baby's SSN! lol
@th-sd6ni there is other ways to get it 🤣🤣
So thankful that you were there to call the police. You saved her.
That woman and that Officer are GOD SENDS. They saved that poor woman.
Thank you to the store customer and the police officer for getting involved to stop this elderly woman from making a financially devastating mistake. Scammers have got to be stopped!
She wasn’t an employee 🙄 Did you even watch the video? The women stopped for gas 🙄🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Unfortunately there is not a lot the US can do as many of these scammers come from countries with lax enforcement (India, Nigeria), or with countries that actively encourage scammers (Russia, China).
Thank you to the young woman and the police officer for stepping in and saving this older woman and her savings 🏆🏆!! This was emotional for me to watch: I have watched numerous videos from anti-scammers who intervene early, but I had not seen a video where the victim had already paid over $29K to the scammer and was panicked in her talking with the scammer because she believed she was speaking with the bank security officer. (Thankfully her funds were halted from the transfer by her not yet pushing the “Submit” button.) Appreciation to all 🙏.
So thankful for the two heroes that looked out for that dear lady.
Thank you to everyone that helped this lady. Preying on anyone is awful, but to do it to an elderly lady is disgusting.
Thank God for this young woman and the police officer who stepped in and helped this senior citizen. I'm so tired of the evil in this world and so glad to see the goodness that exists in humanity.
Thank goodness that lady called 911 & they actually responded ❤
I appreciate that female Employee calling it in. 💯 🙏🏼
Did you not watch the clip?
It wasn't the employee..... it was a woman getting gas
@tabora_ yep & she was at the right place at the right time. 👍
It was not an employee.
Shouldn't be saying "female" sounds like ur talking about an animal
Lady you’re an angel! From all of us with elderly parents THANK YOU! ❤
Thank you to the lady at the gas station who called PD and the officer who responded.
If your bank security caller sounds like that,definitely a scammer!
Banks need to have a policy of no Indian accents allowed on cstomer service. Even so, no bank will ever call you asking to transfer money.
@@michaelweyenberg6238 unfortunately a lot of American companies have been outsourcing their customer service calls to overseas call centers, so reputable tech support, financial institutions, etc. will have customer service reps that sound like they could be scammers if you're just going off of the accents -- so yeah it's more important to judge off of what they're asking of you (i.e. going to a gas station to convert money into bitcoin) vs. where they're from
Thank you for helping this woman out. That woman is an angel for calling the police.
They will never ask someone to put money in a machine hopefully she isn’t targeted again 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Or buy gift cards.
@@Joomlahacks love how you bring orange man into this...i guess your voting the walking corpse great choice. mook
yup she needs to change her phone number because the scammers will share it with other scammers hoping next time there wont be a cop to intercept...
Send this to Scammer Payback, bet you anything he can find this dirty ass thief.
The only way they find him is if they try. And they won't. He's in India.
@@jp.9664 you haven't watched Scammer Payback have ya? He finds the scammers in India constantly. He's had multiple scammer sites shutdown, and the people inside arrested. All of it in India. He hacks their computers and deletes EVERYTHING. He's gotten tons of victims their money back, all of their money. He even turns on their webcams so we can see who they are, he calls them by their real names, not the fake ones that they use. Look him up, he's here on TH-cam and on twitch. Every day.
@@jp.9664 That's the shame of it. It is too bad we can't get a few of these other countries to work with us and shut these people down.
@@jp.9664you don't watch scammer payback do you. They find them all the time. They do a reverse hack through the same system they use to connect, typically PC Anywhere
Scammer Payback does. There are Scam Baiters out there who hack into the machines of scammers to return money to those who have been scammed.
Kitboga is involved too but I don't know if he goes beyond harassment and time wasting. At least he works with people who have the skills who can go beyond that.

Bless you lady for calling 911! You did an amazing thing!
So glad YOU WERE CONCERNED ENOUGH to step in for this older woman.
God bless both of you.

And Chinese have big scaming industry.

They pretty much always do come from India or Pakistan.
God bless the lady that was smart enough to step in to call 911
God bless the woman who called, the operator that took the call and the officer that responded!
A few people should be rewarded for saving the woman from poverty.
No, they are being good people! And doing the right things!!
@@margief1798 she was seconds away from destitution. Do you know what poverty is like in old age? It makes you want to die. She should reward the people who took the time out to save her.
The reward of knowing you did the right thing for a fellow human is enough for any decent person.
You both are HERO’s protecting the elderly and a citizen, too! God bless you both!
*That employee deserves a RAISE!!!!* What a blessing to have her watching over the elderly woman and calling in help for her 💖
She wasn't an employee. She was a customer who stopped for gas & to get money. She was a good samaritan who saw someone who obviously needed to be saved.
@@Isabelleyri Still deserves something
What a wonderful thing that lady did in alerting 911. A true angel ❤
I’ve listened to videos on YT of how these scammers talk to the elderly and it’s absolutely infuriating
My husband is a retired cop of 31 years. In the last 10 years of duty I cant tell you how many people he was able to stop from doing this. One of tham was my own Aunt. They get super pissed lol. Scammers are garbage. I hope each one gets back 10 fold the hurt that they have caused other people
Me too!
OH…..
THEY WILL !
It's time we tap scammers!
I hope the cop followed up with her family. She's clearly in a vulnerable situation.
People havent learned yet? This has been going on since this woman was in her sixties.
I’m so glad my 79 year old mother would not fall for something like this. Talk to your elderly parents and make sure they talk to you before sending anyone even their own bank, any amount of money. I commend this bystander and police officer for stepping in and stepping up. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
My 75 year old mother who knew better and still gave a scammer $300.Glad she called me about it right afterword, but had to spend a little bit of time getting all the software off her computer so they couldn't clean her out.
you are moronic if you think she wouldn't fall for this lol
Pro tip: unplug the machine if the elderly person doesn’t stop. These machines do not belong in society.
totally agree. How did we get to a point where we need bitcoin machines in a store lobby? How is this even legal?
@@JackRainfield y tf would it be illegal? Do you think ATMs should be illegal too?
Wow, I never thought about that, good idea. I pray though that I never need to do that.
@@redonk1740 if only your brain worked you'd understand the difference between an ATM machine and a bitcoin machine.
@@redonk1740 Because unlike ATMs, they literally do absolutely nothing, and only promote criminal transactions
Im so glad the woman was there to stop the scam. These scammers that prey on old and vulnerable people are dispicable.
Bless Mindy for noticing what was happening and calling the police.
I am so fed up with all of the scammers preying on good people with misfortune in their time of need and the elderly. GOD bless the people that stepped in 🙏
Sad story similar to this. I run a gas station and an elderly lady came in to buy $2000 worth of Google play cards one day. She said it was for her grandson and that she does this all the time for him, so we sold it to her. The next day she comes in and says that her grandson loved it and wanted to buy more. I knew something was up but she insisted it was for her grandson. When her card declined, she threw her hands up and said, "I did everything they asked"...and I knew she was scammed.
Come to find out, she got a call claiming to be the FBI saying that the cartel had her social and if she didn't pay them off with google play cards, they were coming to her house to kill her and her family. She spent every penny out of all of her accounts at 20+ places in a 3 day period and they cleaned her out.
Thank GOD for this wonderful police officer!! What an amazing angel, and thank GOD for this sweet lady who stepped in and who cared enough to intervene.
God bless the lady who noticed something not right and called police , I’m glad this elderly lady didn’t lose her money but I wonder if she’s given money beforehand
@RustyCyler I’m sure you know EXACTLY what bless means. Stop looking for an opportunity to get into a theological argument with someone on the internet and go do something that involves the touching of grass.

Thank you guys so very much 🙏... bless you all ❣️...
Well done officer.
God Bless You Mindy you are an Angel 😇, you saved this poor lady a lot of heartache.
🇬🇧🤗
There is a special place in hell for those scammers.
That woman is a hero. The cop acted quickly too! This happens to older people every day, and it goes unpunished and the money isn’t returned. These scammers are despicable.
She needs a legal guardian. Hopefully her family can step up.
Kudos to both the lady who saved the poor elder AND the police officer who stopped the disgusting scammer.
I applaud this nice lady calling the cops, and for this policeman helping, and taking over the phone. I feel so sorry this poor elderly lady fell into this trap.
Thankfully both of these people are awesome. Poor lady
This is why a basic level of internet literacy is necessary regardless of age. Even if its just absolute basics
"Dont click on anything from anyone you dont know"
"if someone needs you to send them money for anything, no they dont"
etc etc
I'm thankful that Myndi intervened and called the police and kudos to the officer for stopping it. I hope the elderly lady understands now that she was being scammed. The bank would never have you send money that way. Not even chase bank.
Thanks for stepping in and saving the woman's ordeal by getting scammed. True heroes all.
GOD BLESS THE LADY THAT TOOK IT UPON HERSELF TO STOP THIS CRIME......& THE OFFICER💙☮️🙏
Woohoo!!!
@RustyCyler it was for drama silly 😜
That female employee is wonderful! She did exactly the right thing to help a total stranger! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where are you getting she was an employee? The news said she stopped by the station for gas and cash.

Thank God for this lady who called the police
God bless Jordan for saving this elder and for not letting her click the submit button. This policeman handled this brilliantly too. I pray that God's justice be done to the scammer. 🙏
Myndi you are a class act. Need more people like you and the officer in this world tbh

After watching TH-camrs like Kitboga for years, it never ceases to amaze me the lengths these scumbags will go to convince/bully a victim into doing what they want. I've seen people pretend to have a child dying in the hospital. The scammer STILL insists that they leave and go buy gift cards or withdraw money from the bank. Once saw a scambaiter fake a heart attack on the call and the scammer (a woman that time) told him to just sit down with a glass of water, relax, then head to the bank.
People need to either explain scams to elderly family members, or try to introduce them to a scambaiter they find entertaining, so they can learn what to look out for.
My brother saw a heated argument between a Walgreens checker and a woman customer trying to buy thousands in gift cards - the checker kept telling her she was being scammed and she knew all about it but the customer refused to believe it. Eventually the customer left but you can bet she went to another store.
We need more people like him.didnt know person but he sounded like a awesome person prayers to the family at this time
The scammer is in New Delhi, India...
most of them are

The usual scammers
@@x3ef2ds3-l3d it’s Not always that. I get calls from clearly whyte men posing as police officers wanting donations.
why cant they stop touching children? oh wait thats light colored haha@user-yq4pp1jm3p
They need to find out if any family members are aware of her situation. It's obvious that she requires some sort of professional supervision. Poor thing. I'm glad that the customer and officer intervened.
Conservatorship.
I think she was just scammed and not aware of how the scams work. Those are the ones who get taken. It doesn’t mean she’s ready for supervision so much as Education. A good sit down talk, watch some scambaiting TH-cam videos and she’ll be set.
@@HopefulEmpath She'll be set because she's not going to have any money that can be stolen from her.
@@ElaineSamuela You don’t think she can be educated on scams? I’m more hopeful.
Nah that's a fucked up judgement to make. I hope no one does that to you as you age. Do you even know how these scams work? They are very convincing and are engineered to get the victims to act quickly, without time to think, or face legal trouble. One of the ways they are so believable is they ask for the number to your local bank branch and then call "them" for you. Once the bank IVR picks up, another scammer gets on the line pretending to be the bank.
Oh my Heavenly father!!! Thank you and blessings to the customer, 911 operator and officer who stepped up to protect this elderly woman.
The store clerk deserves credit for helping
It wasn't the clerk. It was a customer stopping by. 0:59
@@w4o8l15f16i23g48yeah the clerks probably watch this happen all the time
Do you not pay any attention at all to the video??
Thanks to the police sergeant for saving an elderly woman from one of the dirty scammers. 😊👍
Notice how the old woman even when police officer is telling her otherwise she is still insisting that she is in trouble and needs to do this. The scammers targets the vulnerable and get them believing anything they say, old people who has little knowledge or understanding of technology are at risk as they tends to believe anyone claiming authority and threatening them over any written warning or notices posted by real banks and authorities. It's how they were raised and educated to do when they were young, there needs to be wide spread educational campaign fornthe elderly on technologies and dangers of strangers on the phone claiming authority.
Praise God! Bless the caring customer and outstanding officer!
