    Just so everyone knows... "Susan" who was initially scammed, got a gofundme page which was unlinked in the description... She was scammed for 30k but made back 49k so far from the gofundme page. This is amazing how the community came together to help her!

      Further more, a random person doing this work rather then an acting body do the government are two different things. 1 is considered a vigilante, the other, at times a declaration of war lol
      So although I get what your saying, it’s probably a fair bet to assume the FBI being what they are won’t ever reveal what they do in any context to protect the work they continue to do on a scale so much bigger then this guy it’s not even comparable.

He almost committed suicide over loosing the money because he was so ashamed and thought that my disabled mother would be better off without him. He takes 100% care of her. They don’t have a pension and live off the little bit they get from social security. They sold some of their property to give them a little cushion which is the money they lost. I help them out in any way that I can without my dad thinking that I am giving him a handout. I have returned about $5K so far.

Once the scammers get the money they are done with that person. Why would they stay in contact with her for two years ??? If she’s expecting this check to be a reimbursement why would she turn around and go buy gift cards (again) to send to him? I think the people who gave money to this go fund me got scammed.

    Bro you and your team do amazing things to help people just like Susan. These dirty scammers don't care who they target as long as they get their money. Your team and the many scam baiters out there have shown that scamming groups can be infiltrated so why can't the police or the government get off their backsides and set something up to catch the scammers. I appreciate everything you do and I know it can be hard to deal with the emotional stress but just remember this, you should be so proud of your achievements and so happy about saving someone from being scammed. Massive respect to you, your team and all the other people who do what you do.

    This is great! You are doing great work. This needs to be shown on major TV networks so all can see. Maybe, just maybe this could put a stop to these scammers. Why can't any government agency do what you are doing? One can only surmise that our government actually doesn't give a hoot about protecting citizens.

    You're my new personal heroes. My father was scammed out of around $180,000 in a crypto scam a couple of years ago. Some shitty fake crypto exchange company based in the Seychelles. The guy that developed the relationship with my father was an American called "Jack". I only found out about it because I happened to be visiting whilst he was on the phone to him one time. My father fortunately conducts his conversations on speakerphone. As soon as I heard the thread of the conversation I knew he was being scammed but it was too late. He'd already lost a huge sum. The scammer was trying to get more out of him to help recover what was lost on the "crypto play".
    Months later someone else called to offer the refund but I had told my father this would happen and he was wise to it.
    Unfortunately, he was now on the target list and he got scammed out of £500 worth of Amazon cards at a later date. It's been devastating to his mental health. It was very hard for him to accept this could happen to him as an ex Air Force and commercial aviation Captain and a proud upstanding citizen who generally sees the best in people. He's 78 years old and doesn't need this shit.

One of her friends asked me to call her, and she was upset at my mother or thought my mother had dementia. This has been a lifelong friend!! I can’t understand how when someone that you’ve known dearly, writes you and says, “hello how are you doing. I am in need of your help”, It doesn’t sound like a scam.

    This is awesome. My special needs neighbor was scammed out of almost 7k last week. She has to move in 4 weeks and that was all of her money she saved from her job. We don’t know what or if she can get any back. She got max gift cards from Walmart, target, walgreen, her ATM and then into her bank and emptied her savings account, all while he was in her pocket listening. He knew her families names and threatened them as well. The last place she went was CVS where the cashier questioned her, told her to hang up and called the police (who did nothing!) That evening her brother in law took her to the police to do a report. They referred them to the Secret Service who basically laughed - as they don’t deal with any small amounts - like all of her money-, they only work when it is half million or above. I guess the police didn’t know. No one cared. It is so very sad! She was basically kidnapped and afraid for her family and did what he told her to do. Her special needs are such that her reasoning ability (common sense) is very poor, obviously. Thanks for doing these videos for information and for the scammers!

    Thankfully most stores will not sell gift cards in large amounts because of scams like this. Last year I bought about $1,000 worth of gift cards at Christmas time because we have a large family and the store manager had to ask me a few questions before selling them to me. She informed me about the scams and asked me who they were going to. I told her who each one was going to until she was satisfied I wasn’t buying them for a scam. At first I was bothered by the inquisitions but I then was relieved because they were doing it to protect people. So next time you are legitimately buying gift cards please don’t get annoyed if they seem like they are asking personal questions as they are just trying to protect people.

    My dude, these scammers have got my grandma for many years. She always sent me to get the cards and I never thought about it. Then one day she asked me for money and it was not normal to me. I found out she was being scammed and sat down with her and showed her some of your videos. John Cudo was the same guy she was scammed by. So happy to see him taken down by the best of the best, much love Ms. Vivian Rogers lmao

      That’s so sad. He deserves an extreme penalty for what he’s done

    This scammer sounds so nice and polite, it's a shame because all that is wasted on scamming.

      Psychopaths always sound polite but the devil can't bare to be mocked and they will always show their true colours.

    I am an Indian and am so ashamed of all these things going on. How can these ruthless people take away someone's hard earned money. What kind of person can do this. I have no words to express but only be ashamed! :((

      You have no reason to feel ashamed. You’re not doing it. And we know most of your people are NOT like this small percentage! I think you are a beautiful people and country. In fact I have a very dear friend who is Indian (lives in Australia). They’re a wonderful family, good hardworking people.

      if breaks my heart that these comments are on every single scammer video. as an above commenter said, you should NOT feel ashamed!!! angry at the government, sure, but the deplorable actions of these scammers are nothing you or any Indian should feel the need to answer to.

      You live in a country with 1.4 billion people, we all know this doesn´t in any way apply to most Indians!
