I got a call like this, before it was a recording. I laughed and asked them to come get me because I was home. The guy said they were coming, I asked him to pick me up a pack of gum on his way over, laughed again and hung up.
Red flag yes but I work in a multinational company with IT departments in India. They sometimes change their names to American/British friendly names since their names are long and hard to pronounce. I built a working relationship with one of the guys and he told he did not legally changed his name but for the company he was Joe Johnson. But his actual name was Pasumati with a really long last name I can't recall. Fun fact their last names are long because when they marry last names get combined.
@Noogerveetz Canadian and American people should be aware of how there tax system works and government should do more to come raise awareness on the scam.
What are they gonna do? Track them down to India and have the Indian Gov extradite them? They knows it's good portion of their economy, so they so they sit back and watch it all happen.
The authorities love what jim browning does but what he does is illegal, it takes a lot of clearance, and beaurocratic processes to get personal information and deal with scammers , the police legally cant do much about it
@@redninja0078 So the government should use resources to stop scamming? People need to start using their brain and use common sense instead of relying on the government about everything.
@@toooooooooooooooooooooooooooom It does make sense for a nation to invest in stopping scams, as it is literally millions of dollars leaving the country, without the state seeing a penny. Even if the state does not care about the individuals, it does care about keeping their money in the country.

I'm pretty sure those thugs got him by now, might get beat up real bad if not dead and there are plenty of other jobs he can go for in India. Scams don't happen everywhere in India, that's just something scammers tell themselves whenever they feel guilty.

The ENTIRE reason for scams and suicides is A.) Americans are gullible, stoOPid, ignorant, unaware, fools who think they're the BEST which makes them think they're ahead of EVERYONE and so no longer strive to better themselves intellectually, or emotionally, etc, and their awareness is incredibly long. B. Most people are DESPERATE to be liked or get positive attention, friends, compliments, and want to trust everyone or at least most people, so they feel good. That's why if a scammer calls they open up COMPLETELY, in hopes of likes or attention and to make a friend. And C. Capitalism. Capitalism is the reason life is like this for most people, and scammers expose how the system of capitalism is awful and will ALWAYS create scammers, cheaters, liars, greedy people and even friends/family/coworkers BETRAYING, and BACKSTABBING each other for some paper, something NO ONE would do without capitalism. And lastly, that crying lady. She's so fkn dumb. Shes so gullible and easily fooled. Heck when the guy called her to warn her, she went from trusting the scammer to trusting the Warner. Doesn't matter if the Warner was a good Samaritan, she didn't learn chit because she can't. Most people are too afraid to be rude or suspicious and rather trust and open up to appear "normal" to others and make friends. So I don't sympathize AT ALL with peolle who kill themselves after being scammed. You know why? Because in the early 2000s I remember trying to sell a PS2, and I was only 14, and I got hit with a message offering to buy my PS2 for $500 with a check (waaay past the price of what it should have been), and, even THEN, having never encountered scams before, I KNEW it was a scam. And sure enough I was right. I have NEVER fallen for a scam since I was young, because I'm not concerned with what others think about me and I actually understand LOGIC. But most people, are too fkn R3TARD3D. The social security victims especially. Look at them "omg plz gubbament daddy. Plz don't send me jail. I've been good conformist copy cat drone slave, I've followed every law and done my best to be a good drone, plz gubbament God daddy plz, don't send me jail, where the CRIMINALS AND EVIL PEOPLE AND LOSER GO, don't make me one of them gubbament God daddy plz, plz I'll do anything, here, here's $100,000 plz don't send me jail". And after they get scammed and you inform them they got scammed, some will deny it, because they still think the person telling them they got scammed is lying because he's jealous and wants them to go to jail so they can enjoy watching them suffer and lose everything.

@@LemonJuiceGV same, for as long as possible. Then they swear at me and hang up on me. 😁 The Social Security Administration called me, I press 1. They began to ask for my information. I was like, you called me but you don't have any of that pertinent information? 🤣🤣
@@alecman95 Not to this extent. The worst job I've ever had was food delivery. Because I could earn tips, my boss didn't have to pay me even minimum wage. Even on nights that I got zero tips, I didn't have to worry about not being able to afford food. Yes, he may have been exaggerating for sympathy, but it is also possible that his boss gives him so little per each scam to make him have to scam more people to survive.
@Ayush Shah We only get tips so our bosses don't have to pay us as much, it dates back to when we got rid of slavery, you could hire someone to work for just tips. Not sure who you are talking about because it didn't sound like the guy in the video liked his boss? It sounds like he is blaming his boss for taking over 99%?
@@musicauthority7828 Always a way around that funny enough. The amount I earn in cash normally exceeds that which I earn monthly from the company. Granted, it's not every month really, or it would be suspicious, and some months are slower than others. In short. Good to be a mechanic flipping cars.
Not everyone reads newspapers nor watches TV, has a computer, etc! That's why it's the immigrants, the elderly, the vulnerable people that fall for these scams! I had to reassure my elderly disabled neighbor, who was actually in the hospital when he got that call! He was super stressed! He was expecting police when he gets home!!
Devon seems to have good intentions but it’s hard when it’s your own money. If it was me that he saved from a scam I would donate to the cause to keep what he’s doing going because there’s not a lot of people out there willing to take their time to save others from losing everything they have.

This is insane. Honestly, release this as a fully fleshed documentary once everything is over. It's a much better way to get publicity and to spread the story!
You can’t hate the scammers that expose themselves and want to take others out. No respect for their pasts, but the legit ones that turn on the scammers I do respect. Shows they have a conscience. I love when these idiots call me. I know where every penny goes. As for the scammers that are defectors. They should take the high road and scam the scammers.
My God, brought a tear to my eye watching this one. I love these scamming uncovered channels. Thanks for telling the stories that no authority has the man power to deal with!
Let’s be honest, “Steve” did NOT do this out of the kindness of his heart. “Steve” is back dooring the scammers just to make him more money. “Steve” is still a POS scammer it just ironically is doing good while hurting the scammers.
The voice of the scam victim brought me to tears, I noticed the voice of the “scammer” (actor )choked up a bit a a part he did a good job or could relate who knows
Just subscribed. I'm 41 and have been in IT for 20ish years. I have seen scam after scam and watched them evolve. I do my part as best as I can every time. For a anyone that doesnt know the phishing scams are usually done from a hijacked mail server from another domain. When an employee gets one of these emails I spend a little time locating that hijacked server. From there I'll find contact info for an executive or a CIO if possible and relay the info. The biggest issue that I see is that most of these hijacked mail servers are from smaller companies that dont have the resources for adequate security andtor IT professionals. My first experience with this was from the early 2000's. I received an email that looked like it was from ebay. When I clicked the link the page looked like Ebay's page, but the the address was slightly off. They were asking me to verify cc info. I went back to the email and the headers lead me to a website called wheelremote.com. it was a private page for wheel of fortune employees to login and see collaboration. I contacted the number from the page. The guy seemed a little surprised at what I was telling him. He called me back an hour later and told me that they had an old mail server that wasn't being used, but was still active. Their staff checked the server and found that someone had taken control of it and was using it to send the phishing emails. He asked for my address and sent me a whole box of wheel of fortune swag like shirts, keychains, cups, etc. Many wont go out of their way like that, but I try to do a little good if i can. 5 minutes of my time will likely save a lot of people from these devils. I am glad that there are others out there trying to combat this on their own with youtube. I feel like our government needs to address this with the Indian government and force them to go after these people. After all, they are arrogantly impersonating the US government to defend people.
@@EctoWave awesome choice. Security side of IT has interested me so much over the years and it's getting needed more all of the time. I've focused a lot of time into firewalls recently. Thought about trying to get some security certs and attack that side of the field. I've been on the fence with that and robotics/automation. If course security is huge there also because you wouldnt want some someone taking control of an operation that utilizes automation. Good luck with everything!
That’s awesome what you did! Excellent work. I just posted a comment asking why the feds don’t put serious pressure on the PM in India to shut the illegal call centers down. If India considers US to be an ally, then it would better leverage for us. I know that this is really shaping the opinions many Americans have about Indians, and it’s really a shame.
@@youserguide Not only in America, but this is also happening all over the modern world. I'm in Canada it's here and know it happens in the UK and fairly certain in Australia too. So the pressure should be hard and fast from these governments, but all there is is a small "Taskforce" dedicated to internet fraud. Yet millions of peoples hard earned are going Buybuy.
I have never understood why these scams are not taken more seriously by all governments. We all know they are rampant, yet little is done to stop them. I wonder if the Indian government is making money off of scams? Why else would they care so little about stopping these people that are giving their entire population a bad name?
Hey mate, thank you for doing what you do! You are helping a lot of people and you help to uncover the underlying conditions which is never talked about. You are doing your part to make this world a better place.
This scammer is in a tough spot. Imagine how much money this industry makes if it is the only good job that someone with good English speaking skills can get and maintain.
When i get these calls, I just say "send the sheriff and his finest deputy. They'll get their money when they can prove to me they're worth paying my bounty...."
I recently found the channel and am watching all the videos right now. As an American, if you call your Social Security office or the national line, and they immediately answer, it's 100% a scam. You have to jump through so many hoops to even get on hold.
@@helios8626 it's a fake name but if every worker at the call center gets a different fake name then the people running the call center can tell who is their whistleblower
@@helios8626 yes it's a fake name, but as you heard in the video, the guy speaking said a diffrent name then the one on the script, it might be that each person has a diffrent script.
the indian guy: "Please keep this only between us" Pleasant Green: "Im going to tell this story to the entire world! Here, on TH-cam!" lmao.. nah fr though great video!
There are soooo many people with “suspeeshus activity” on their social security number that it became necessary to create a recording to call people. It’s a crime wave!
SUPER VIDEO...!!! Keep getting Them..!! The Sound Of that Woman cry, it made me Cry..!!!! Thank You All For Helping Peopel...!!!! Thanks from Denmark🇩🇰
I'm saying it right now. If that Steve dude from the callcenter is interested in honest work for 150 Bucks a month (and I'd likely pay more) I'd be willing to hire him on the spot, since I like his ethics.
Just subscribed. "Ben", what you are doing is great. These scammers need to be exposed, and shut down. I love that you are taking a proactive role in thwarting these low-life scumbags.
OMG my heart broke and I am in tears just listening to her. Thank you Jesus, thank you Pleasant Greens, and thank you "Steve" for having a heart. I am so happy she didnt fall for it.
I just got this same call this week - Caller ID stated it was from a Church. When I got the guy on the phone I asked when churches started freezing SS accounts.
My mom actually got really scared that she got this message and since she is an immigrant she got even More scared! But thankfully I had already been watching your videos for a couple months before the message came to her phone and I told her everything was going to be ok. I read her in article that says that the SSN dosent even do service by call, they do it by mail. Thx so much man
It happens. I just about fell for a scam when I was young. They also told me I was going to jail and needed to pay $600 because I cheated on my taxes. I had zero actual life experience and just kind of trusted people. I’m older, wiser and know better now. But when I was young...incredibly wet behind the ears.
I could hardly believe what happened. I was watching THIS video. When you started to talk about Devon, my phone rang. It was the SSA informing me that my SSN had been compromised. This is the first time they had called. I am still shocked by the timing. I had heard of this scam. I had watched the video of the cop that had gotten a call like this.
One time someone called me and said I could pick up 200,000 dollars and o told the “hey I’m bill gates nephew and I make 20 dollars a minute. You really think I need the little penny.” All they did was hang up . Lol 😂
5:37 my mom got this exact script when these damn scammers called, she's one of those that believe everything they see/hear. Good thing I stepped in and forced her to end the call.
Tammy Manuel anyone who tries to make money at the expense of others misfortune is a scammer .. even the ppl in America at metro stores sell phone plans that are $50 a month to ignorant ppl for $250 a month even that is scamming
Tammy Manuel I’d say more Americans scam than Indians friend In India they don’t lie about not having jobs or being disabled or those things as much In black communities like my area everyone I know has 0 insurance , gets fraudulent diablity checks , has EBT cards they don’t actually need , and collect money from unemployment while selling weed ... lol
Tammy Manuel your statement is stupid friend plain and simple “Real scammer” as in other people who scam aren’t as legit as social security scams ? U make no sense
I just got a call from this scam about a week or so ago. I did hang up once I was transferred to a man that I could clearly tell was from India. And as soon as I hung up I went to the official Social Security website and made out a report. Thank you for posting this video. Please continue working on this and I would love to see an update on this soon.
Hey man I've been involved in scamming and even scamming the scammers for almost 10 years now. I'm so tired of doing it and want to make a change in my life. This series has bought me to tears. If you have any legit work for me to do man I'll do it. Good honest work that u can feed my family and not look over my shoulder. Thanks
I am poor. I would rather be homeless than morally disgusting. Patience, pray, and temporary low pay, education in some skill will eventually lead to surviving without having to be a criminal. If anyone does this for a living is a poor excuse for a human. Digging ditches is better. Where is your pride? Find yourself a job. Talk for yourself, no need to ask someone to help you find a job so you can stop scamming. If you can scam, then you can scam someone into hiring you to do legitimate work. You are a sorry piss of sht and want things handed to you. Get off your butt.
Just keep it up and eventually you will learn the hard way while in prison. You are not that stupid are you? Oh yeah thats right, many are in prison for stupid decisions they made.
Yeah the voice actor really captured that emotion. Im pretty sure that was probably a voice actor. He said he could not make phone calls on his cell phone he could only send messages probably only over wifi. Im guessing he uses a cheap smart phone for its ability to connect to the internet and thats how he sends messages. Its possible that the only access he has to a working phone is at his job and i don't think he would be outing everybody right in front of them because im sure that would, at the very least, cost him his job.
Wow... Hearing that woman who was about to be scammed really hit me hard. I’m so happy that there are heroes out there that are willing to spend money to protect these people. I think “Devan” should create a crowdfund to help support his efforts. Devan you are an amazing human being. Saving a mother and her life savings is the work of a saint!

The recording of the phone call broke my heart and made me cry. What these people do is despicable. Horrendous. Evil.
I am so sick of scammer calls. I just continue to let them go to voicemail, delete and block
Suzi Dunn good i blocks it too
I waste their time
@@LemonJuiceGV same, for as long as possible. Then they swear at me and hang up on me. 😁 The Social Security Administration called me, I press 1. They began to ask for my information. I was like, you called me but you don't have any of that pertinent information? 🤣🤣
lol my dad gets them so much sometimes he just picks them up and just cusses tf outta them
Lol someone calls me asking for $96k, I'd tell them to take me to jail.
Kewlzter TC 96k shit take me to jail too
Lol exactly
I'd laugh. I be like, if you can find it, you can have it.
I‘d rather go to jail instead of paying this money lmao
lmfao
So 99% of the money doesn't even go to the scammers, but their boss?
Yeah. Scanners get commission, a certain percentage of the takings per scam. The rest goes to the boss.
@@amir-jg4zy yes, but from the video it sounds like pennies per thousands of dollars.
That’s how real life works but ok
@@alecman95 Not to this extent. The worst job I've ever had was food delivery. Because I could earn tips, my boss didn't have to pay me even minimum wage. Even on nights that I got zero tips, I didn't have to worry about not being able to afford food. Yes, he may have been exaggerating for sympathy, but it is also possible that his boss gives him so little per each scam to make him have to scam more people to survive.
@Ayush Shah We only get tips so our bosses don't have to pay us as much, it dates back to when we got rid of slavery, you could hire someone to work for just tips. Not sure who you are talking about because it didn't sound like the guy in the video liked his boss? It sounds like he is blaming his boss for taking over 99%?
Go ahead " Suspend My SS " that means I never have to pay taxes ever again ! LOL.
You won't be able to get a job without a SSI number.
@@musicauthority7828 that's if you get paid on the books, my immigrant dad used to get paid in cash
@@musicauthority7828 Always a way around that funny enough. The amount I earn in cash normally exceeds that which I earn monthly from the company. Granted, it's not every month really, or it would be suspicious, and some months are slower than others.
In short. Good to be a mechanic flipping cars.
Right lol
Poor Steve. Honestly, I love that he’s working to help folks alongside you and Devan.
He gave him the hooters phone number ... LOL “I heard the wings are really good “
I cant believe how many people fall for these scams. Especially now in days when are so many stores about people getting scammed.
They have to be super stupid!!
@@tonysteel1377 not really these scammers rely on panic and fear tactics to make their victims rush into the situation without thinking
Not everyone reads newspapers nor watches TV, has a computer, etc! That's why it's the immigrants, the elderly, the vulnerable people that fall for these scams! I had to reassure my elderly disabled neighbor, who was actually in the hospital when he got that call! He was super stressed! He was expecting police when he gets home!!
Hearing that crying woman, makes what u do is extremely important. Keep up the good work. 👏👏👏👏👍
Devon seems to have good intentions but it’s hard when it’s your own money. If it was me that he saved from a scam I would donate to the cause to keep what he’s doing going because there’s not a lot of people out there willing to take their time to save others from losing everything they have.
not all heroes wear capes. and... u could still donate without him saving your life!!!
The ENTIRE reason for scams and suicides is A.) Americans are gullible, stoOPid, ignorant, unaware, fools who think they're the BEST which makes them think they're ahead of EVERYONE and so no longer strive to better themselves intellectually, or emotionally, etc, and their awareness is incredibly long. B. Most people are DESPERATE to be liked or get positive attention, friends, compliments, and want to trust everyone or at least most people, so they feel good. That's why if a scammer calls they open up COMPLETELY, in hopes of likes or attention and to make a friend. And C. Capitalism. Capitalism is the reason life is like this for most people, and scammers expose how the system of capitalism is awful and will ALWAYS create scammers, cheaters, liars, greedy people and even friends/family/coworkers BETRAYING, and BACKSTABBING each other for some paper, something NO ONE would do without capitalism.
And lastly, that crying lady. She's so fkn dumb. Shes so gullible and easily fooled. Heck when the guy called her to warn her, she went from trusting the scammer to trusting the Warner. Doesn't matter if the Warner was a good Samaritan, she didn't learn chit because she can't. Most people are too afraid to be rude or suspicious and rather trust and open up to appear "normal" to others and make friends. So I don't sympathize AT ALL with peolle who kill themselves after being scammed. You know why? Because in the early 2000s I remember trying to sell a PS2, and I was only 14, and I got hit with a message offering to buy my PS2 for $500 with a check (waaay past the price of what it should have been), and, even THEN, having never encountered scams before, I KNEW it was a scam. And sure enough I was right. I have NEVER fallen for a scam since I was young, because I'm not concerned with what others think about me and I actually understand LOGIC. But most people, are too fkn R3TARD3D. The social security victims especially. Look at them "omg plz gubbament daddy. Plz don't send me jail. I've been good conformist copy cat drone slave, I've followed every law and done my best to be a good drone, plz gubbament God daddy plz, don't send me jail, where the CRIMINALS AND EVIL PEOPLE AND LOSER GO, don't make me one of them gubbament God daddy plz, plz I'll do anything, here, here's $100,000 plz don't send me jail". And after they get scammed and you inform them they got scammed, some will deny it, because they still think the person telling them they got scammed is lying because he's jealous and wants them to go to jail so they can enjoy watching them suffer and lose everything. Yea long post but I Dont care. If you're fkn 40-80 years old and too fkn R3TARD3D to figure out a scam through common sense and simple instinct and or intuition, you DRSERVE TO LOSE EVERY PENNY, EVEN YOUR LIFE
This is insane. Honestly, release this as a fully fleshed documentary once everything is over. It's a much better way to get publicity and to spread the story!
Thank you for helping them out!!!
You can’t hate the scammers that expose themselves and want to take others out. No respect for their pasts, but the legit ones that turn on the scammers I do respect. Shows they have a conscience. I love when these idiots call me. I know where every penny goes. As for the scammers that are defectors. They should take the high road and scam the scammers.
My God, brought a tear to my eye watching this one. I love these scamming uncovered channels. Thanks for telling the stories that no authority has the man power to deal with!
Has to be between the three of us only. Posts it on TH-cam 😂
Dumbo, it means no one should know their real names..
You don't know his name tho
What an absolutely INCREDIBLE series this has been so far. Thank you for doing this.
The dude's story is heartbreaking and that panicked victim literally made me cry. Money is the root of all evil
The pursuit of money is the root of all evil, not money itself.
Can we just take a moment and respect Steve here, RESPECT
yes RESPECT
Let’s be honest, “Steve” did NOT do this out of the kindness of his heart. “Steve” is back dooring the scammers just to make him more money. “Steve” is still a POS scammer it just ironically is doing good while hurting the scammers.
Negative much
@@bwhite429 its because of people like u who always sterotype people no matter what they do the world will be a horrible place with hatred.
The voice of the scam victim brought me to tears, I noticed the voice of the “scammer” (actor )choked up a bit a a part he did a good job or could relate who knows
Maybe this guy feels guilty
scammer: "this must stay between the 3 of us..."
Pleasant Green: "I'M GONNA TELL THE WHOLE WORLD"
😂
Frieza 223 pleasant Green don’t keep secrets lol kikiki
bet devon and "steve" have a good smile that they finally reached out to over 1 million people even after no journalist heard them.
Damn the person who created the script must be dedicated in their job 😂
Just subscribed. I'm 41 and have been in IT for 20ish years. I have seen scam after scam and watched them evolve. I do my part as best as I can every time. For a anyone that doesnt know the phishing scams are usually done from a hijacked mail server from another domain. When an employee gets one of these emails I spend a little time locating that hijacked server. From there I'll find contact info for an executive or a CIO if possible and relay the info. The biggest issue that I see is that most of these hijacked mail servers are from smaller companies that dont have the resources for adequate security andtor IT professionals.
My first experience with this was from the early 2000's. I received an email that looked like it was from ebay. When I clicked the link the page looked like Ebay's page, but the the address was slightly off. They were asking me to verify cc info. I went back to the email and the headers lead me to a website called wheelremote.com. it was a private page for wheel of fortune employees to login and see collaboration. I contacted the number from the page. The guy seemed a little surprised at what I was telling him. He called me back an hour later and told me that they had an old mail server that wasn't being used, but was still active. Their staff checked the server and found that someone had taken control of it and was using it to send the phishing emails. He asked for my address and sent me a whole box of wheel of fortune swag like shirts, keychains, cups, etc.
Many wont go out of their way like that, but I try to do a little good if i can. 5 minutes of my time will likely save a lot of people from these devils. I am glad that there are others out there trying to combat this on their own with youtube. I feel like our government needs to address this with the Indian government and force them to go after these people. After all, they are arrogantly impersonating the US government to defend people.
@@EctoWave awesome choice. Security side of IT has interested me so much over the years and it's getting needed more all of the time. I've focused a lot of time into firewalls recently. Thought about trying to get some security certs and attack that side of the field. I've been on the fence with that and robotics/automation. If course security is huge there also because you wouldnt want some someone taking control of an operation that utilizes automation. Good luck with everything!
That’s awesome what you did! Excellent work. I just posted a comment asking why the feds don’t put serious pressure on the PM in India to shut the illegal call centers down. If India considers US to be an ally, then it would better leverage for us. I know that this is really shaping the opinions many Americans have about Indians, and it’s really a shame.
@@youserguide Not only in America, but this is also happening all over the modern world. I'm in Canada it's here and know it happens in the UK and fairly certain in Australia too. So the pressure should be hard and fast from these governments, but all there is is a small "Taskforce" dedicated to internet fraud. Yet millions of peoples hard earned are going Buybuy.
I have never understood why these scams are not taken more seriously by all governments. We all know they are rampant, yet little is done to stop them. I wonder if the Indian government is making money off of scams? Why else would they care so little about stopping these people that are giving their entire population a bad name?
That one woman who was crying broke my heart! I can't believe there are people in this world who would try to scam people like that....
The LOVE of money is the root of all evil...
They are called Sociopaths... they feel nothing for anyone including themselves.
OMG I can't believe wolves would kill innocent animals to survive. Get the reference?
This is the first victim of a scam that I’ve seen that seems truely thankful
Masterpiece. This is the kind of content I love on YT. Great job 👍
Hey mate, thank you for doing what you do! You are helping a lot of people and you help to uncover the underlying conditions which is never talked about. You are doing your part to make this world a better place.
so true yes yes yes !!!!
You are doing a great thing here sir. I'm glad you got sponsors! I was wondering why no ads.
Maybe you just got no ads you don't get ads on every videos that is supposed to have ads that's not how it works.
@@kelvinpang438Ok thanks I was wondering.
Iam an Indian and Iam ashamed of these scammers.. Keep exposing them bro..
Its all fun and games until benjamin dover joins the chat
This scammer is in a tough spot. Imagine how much money this industry makes if it is the only good job that someone with good English speaking skills can get and maintain.
I never answer the phone if they aren't in my contact list.
Irene Duke Hell yeah, if I don’t know the number oh well! I get calls from Peru, I am in Ohio. I don’t know anybody in Peru
Irene Duke thats my policy, if i dont have your number then you shouldnt have mine
Then you're a conspiracy theorist nutjob.
Irene Duke I only dont Incase it’s my work calling me in
Bro I got that call today so I googled it up. I literally had a panic attack, I got so scared. Thank goodness it’s a scam 😅
And with this story, you just earned a new subscriber.
Omg, I got this phone calls so many times ever since last year. Anyway, love your videos. Helping others from being scammed is inspiring. Thanks.
This whole things like a documentary!!
It was so good I hope scamming stops
When i get these calls, I just say "send the sheriff and his finest deputy. They'll get their money when they can prove to me they're worth paying my bounty...."
I recently found the channel and am watching all the videos right now. As an American, if you call your Social Security office or the national line, and they immediately answer, it's 100% a scam. You have to jump through so many hoops to even get on hold.
At 5:18 you should probably censor the name their, it might be specific to each person.
I think it's a fake name, I don't see a reason on why they should use their real names
It is the same script for all of the workers.
@@helios8626 it's a fake name but if every worker at the call center gets a different fake name then the people running the call center can tell who is their whistleblower
Also the profile picture from the WhatsApp conversations
@@helios8626 yes it's a fake name, but as you heard in the video, the guy speaking said a diffrent name then the one on the script, it might be that each person has a diffrent script.
the indian guy: "Please keep this only between us"
Pleasant Green: "Im going to tell this story to the entire world! Here, on TH-cam!"
lmao.. nah fr though great video!
hahahahha.. my sentiments exactly!!!
“I hear them wings are pretty good” LMDAOAOAOAOO I LOVE THIS CHANNEL 😂😂😂
There are soooo many people with “suspeeshus activity” on their social security number that it became necessary to create a recording to call people. It’s a crime wave!
I can't express how noble this is enough!!
Oh boy. Imagine being an indian and applying for a job in government where you have to answer phones...
My buddy quit. He is not even Indian. He is Israeli but has a middle eastern accent. The amount of racism he faced das outrageous
Jayy Ahmad it’s not their fault they have an accent you idiot , can’t control where they were born and grew up
@@jayyahmad9225 you're such a fucking moron
Javy Ahmed your such a stupid racist!
Jayy Ahmed you’re probably an incel you fucking racist
I’ve had these people call me before, I talked in circles for a good 40 mins before they hung up
SUPER VIDEO...!!! Keep getting Them..!! The Sound Of that Woman cry, it made me Cry..!!!! Thank You All For Helping Peopel...!!!!
Thanks from Denmark🇩🇰
I'm saying it right now. If that Steve dude from the callcenter is interested in honest work for 150 Bucks a month (and I'd likely pay more) I'd be willing to hire him on the spot, since I like his ethics.
Imagine when they get to the point where they have no accents! So many more will fall for it.
Evolution lol
Never gonna happen, that crappy accent is way too thick unless they've been here in the US for many, many, many years
Just subscribed. "Ben", what you are doing is great. These scammers need to be exposed, and shut down. I love that you are taking a proactive role in thwarting these low-life scumbags.
About a month ago, I got that exact voice mail at the beginning and I immediately knew it was a scam lol
Soon you gonna have half of Indians scammers wanting to work for you 😂
OMG my heart broke and I am in tears just listening to her. Thank you Jesus, thank you Pleasant Greens, and thank you "Steve" for having a heart. I am so happy she didnt fall for it.
I just got this same call this week - Caller ID stated it was from a Church. When I got the guy on the phone I asked when churches started freezing SS accounts.
"Give me the number for your local police department"
Yeah .. It's nine ... one ... one.
8675309....lol
My mom actually got really scared that she got this message and since she is an immigrant she got even More scared! But thankfully I had already been watching your videos for a couple months before the message came to her phone and I told her everything was going to be ok. I read her in article that says that the SSN dosent even do service by call, they do it by mail. Thx so much man
She sounds young? She really fell for a scam over the phone with a guy that has an Indian accent
McShid NFard nobody wants to go to jail and she had a baby, she was probably in her mid 30s
McShid NFard she was an idiot.
It happens. I just about fell for a scam when I was young. They also told me I was going to jail and needed to pay $600 because I cheated on my taxes. I had zero actual life experience and just kind of trusted people. I’m older, wiser and know better now. But when I was young...incredibly wet behind the ears.
How she get 96 that's too much
@@profpre8978 She probably scammed her ex-husband out of it
The call from the women who almost got scammed was so heart breaking man
I could hardly believe what happened. I was watching THIS video. When you started to talk about Devon, my phone rang. It was the SSA informing me that my SSN had been compromised. This is the first time they had called. I am still shocked by the timing. I had heard of this scam. I had watched the video of the cop that had gotten a call like this.
One time someone called me and said I could pick up 200,000 dollars and o told the “hey I’m bill gates nephew and I make 20 dollars a minute. You really think I need the little penny.” All they did was hang up . Lol 😂
5:37 my mom got this exact script when these damn scammers called, she's one of those that believe everything they see/hear. Good thing I stepped in and forced her to end the call.
My mother's the same way; I constantly worry about her losing all her money.
I have to admit, this video was one of the best videos I have seen on TH-cam. Beautifully crafted. Great Work, Pleasant Green, great work.
I am watching pt. 2... very excited
Steve, wherever you are, I hope you're doing alright. Bless you, my guy.
he is doing much better he elevated to level 5 supervisor.
@@georgedjmatrix4229 lol
Finally he is talking about the real scammers.
dude Im not even the patriot kind of guy but thats fucked up what you said there.
Tammy Manuel anyone who tries to make money at the expense of others misfortune is a scammer ..
even the ppl in America at metro stores sell phone plans that are $50 a month to ignorant ppl for $250 a month even that is scamming
@@No1reallydies I'm pretty sure my statement does not mean I'm saying that Americans aren't into scamming.
Tammy Manuel I’d say more Americans scam than Indians friend
In India they don’t lie about not having jobs or being disabled or those things as much
In black communities like my area everyone I know has 0 insurance , gets fraudulent diablity checks , has EBT cards they don’t actually need , and collect money from unemployment while selling weed ... lol
Tammy Manuel your statement is stupid friend plain and simple
“Real scammer” as in other people who scam aren’t as legit as social security scams ?
U make no sense
Can't wait to see how this one unfolds!
I just got a call from this scam about a week or so ago. I did hang up once I was transferred to a man that I could clearly tell was from India. And as soon as I hung up I went to the official Social Security website and made out a report. Thank you for posting this video. Please continue working on this and I would love to see an update on this soon.
Pleasant Green : Lagos,Nigeria Me:Really every single time?
Hey man I've been involved in scamming and even scamming the scammers for almost 10 years now. I'm so tired of doing it and want to make a change in my life. This series has bought me to tears. If you have any legit work for me to do man I'll do it. Good honest work that u can feed my family and not look over my shoulder. Thanks
I am poor. I would rather be homeless than morally disgusting. Patience, pray, and temporary low pay, education in some skill will eventually lead to surviving without having to be a criminal. If anyone does this for a living is a poor excuse for a human. Digging ditches is better. Where is your pride? Find yourself a job. Talk for yourself, no need to ask someone to help you find a job so you can stop scamming. If you can scam, then you can scam someone into hiring you to do legitimate work. You are a sorry piss of sht and want things handed to you. Get off your butt.
Just keep it up and eventually you will learn the hard way while in prison. You are not that stupid are you? Oh yeah thats right, many are in prison for stupid decisions they made.
Please help me Pleasent Green
I watch your videos religiously, keep it up bro❤
This guy truly feels bad and you can hear it in his voice. Im proud of him for getting awareness out on the shit going on.
Yeah the voice actor really captured that emotion. Im pretty sure that was probably a voice actor. He said he could not make phone calls on his cell phone he could only send messages probably only over wifi. Im guessing he uses a cheap smart phone for its ability to connect to the internet and thats how he sends messages. Its possible that the only access he has to a working phone is at his job and i don't think he would be outing everybody right in front of them because im sure that would, at the very least, cost him his job.
Wow... Hearing that woman who was about to be scammed really hit me hard. I’m so happy that there are heroes out there that are willing to spend money to protect these people. I think “Devan” should create a crowdfund to help support his efforts. Devan you are an amazing human being. Saving a mother and her life savings is the work of a saint!
That is some awesome $hit. Thankyou so much Mr. Green and Devon and Steve👏🏽👍🏼
Just got one of those calls when I told him I wanted to set up my camera he hung up, DAMMIT
I love how you gave him a fake name and that there was an arrest warrant out for that person.
You did an amazing job constructing this video
