I’m so confused like this dude knew about Jim’s channel but couldn’t recognize Jim’s voice or the fact that Jim himself caught on to his scamming activities?
@@JimBrowning Hey Jim, thanks for this awesome content. You should definitely show his face. No issues with that at all. Don't hold back. Culturally, there is a system of honour. To show his face would be to do more than police can do. Let the world see what a person in dishonor looks like. That is the real hurt for this culture. A corrupt police officer can be bribed with a scammed gift card. But a picture of a scammer cannot.
@@chrishue6338 At the moment, I think the only thing that will pull this person away from scamming, is to be offered an honest job where he can make limitless money, i.e. I cannot see him being content with a fixed wage. He is currently willing to lie to his family and disregard their wishes, so the draw of financial wealth has him firmly gripped. He needs to be shown that wealth can be generated honestly and with integrity.
@@JimBrowning sure, everyone has the ability to change, but not everyone wants to change or even cares to. Even after finding out that his scamming has possibly compromised not only his identity/saftey but the identity/safety of his mother, he still continues to scam. Thats a person that doesn't care. Young or not, he'll just do what he wants. To get someone like that to change, they need to face real, tangible consequences.
The man broke his dad’s heart, his dad tried to convince him to do honest work, he was approached in person and confronted about his scams, and someone flat out showed him a picture of his parents on their computer, yet he STILL chose to keep scamming. Some people are just beyond helping
He probably makes way more with the scams then he could make doing a regular job so will likely never stop until he's forced to stop legally. Free money is addictive.
Capitalism in a nutshell really, when life is all about money, when the system is built to ensure these things occur it's not just about a single person sadly.
@@IEKevin this is such a huge part of it. I try not to hate on scammers as a whole because there's bigger systems at work that cause people to do these "jobs." Of course most won't change overnight because that's just not how human brains work and we're talking potentially an overhaul of personal values and that change is a process, even a journey. And I'm sure most of us when in our early-mid 20s fixated on 'getting that bag' and even justifying it with "my parents will be so proud! I can provide for them!" even if the work was harmful. This is why I love watching and learning about these scams from Jim Browning and others because while we can focus on stopping one scammer and helping one victim at a time, we're also learning it's the owners making big money at the top who are benefitting the most and bribing authorities to keep scamming.
This was very smart. What a lot of people don't understand is that India is a shame-based culture rather than a guilt based culture. You'll often hear about "bringing shame upon one's family" Even if you tell their parents and the parents are okay with it, they won't be okay if you tell the parent's wider community. They will be so embarrassed if their community knows their son is a scammer. I really want to see you go further down this route. I for one think it's going to be a lot more effective than telling the police.
I am sitting here wondering how people can be so stupid as to fall for such obvious scams, but when I'm an old man and people are scamming in the metaverse or through our cyberpunk style neural chips, I'll probably fall for it too one day.
I'm sure you know already that's how we'll get scammed. We think we're smart and know best, but in the past year Jim *and* Atomic Shrimp got scammed. Heck, just a week ago I *almost* clicked an email link that looked like an official bank message but just managed to stop myself in time and log in to check my account myself, all because I was autopiloting my evening email check-in.
One of the simplest things but eaiest to overlook is take your time - Scammers do not allow time for possible victims to think or tell anyone who might alert them. No legitimate business would pressure the customer, and would totally understand the customer hanging up and calling back on their official website. But they are master manipulators after all. Perhaps we need to crowdfund a massive advertisement campaign or leaflefts that can be posted to the most vulnerable in order to raise awareness since we're more likely to succeed here than ever get scam call centres in india shut down.
Tl;dr Knowledge is power. It's not about age. It's about being technology illiterate. I doubt that even one of four can explain how a digital device and digital communication actually works and interact. What is done by software respectively hardware. Those who know can take advantage of those who don't.
And not just there in Kolkata. I remember a video where this lady was looking for a btc atm and Jim got the number of the store. He was able to get the store employee to warn her. But then the scammers told her to leave and go to another store. Jim called the police in her city. I forget what city but they literally seemed more concerned at how Jim was in the scammer's computer than the fact a citizen in their town was being scammed. I did a little research on that town right after seeing the video and that police dept is next to useless too. 😡😡😡 I could tell Jim was frustrated. He really did try to save her though.
@@tsol438 I remember that video. He tried to save this person but sadly, was not successful. With law enforcement not doing anything, the only thing we can do is spread the word about these scams and hopefully, people will listen and not fall for them.
Watching you swoop in in the nick of time and quite literally save people in real time is hope-instilling. You are the kind of person the world would undoubtedly be better off with more of.
You are a fuggin' HERO. I thoroughly enjoy your content, goals and active work in wasting these scammers time/jumping in to save these poor poeple, like Spiderman, during realtime scam-calls. 100% unselfish...calm when needed, rough when needed.... You ROCK Jim B.
Yeah but if scammers didn't exist then Jim Browning and others like him would be out of work so i secretly think that they encourage such activities for their own job security.
Hey Jim, I actually have a good idea... Trilogy Media could probably pull it off too. Invest in a billboard vehicle either LCD or just the old fashion vinyl image of the scammers and drive it around each scammers neighborhood so everyone in the area knows what they do.
Yes! This is exactly the type of thing I've been wanting to see for years. You probably noticed that this loser was quick to mention his "reputation" being ruined if people found out he scammed people for a living. He is definitely not the first scammer I've heard say this, or that their parents would be devastated to learn they'd raised a criminal. Imagine answering every phone call, holding your breath just hoping it isn't a scambaiter because just two days earlier, while you were out with friends, you saw one of your "colleagues" name and face plastered all over billboards/ LCD screens with the enormous word "SCAMMER" splashed across it. For as large as India is, I would imagine that even the big cities have fairly close, tight-knit little communities within it, where people know one another or, at the very least, recognize faces. The fear of walking to "work" one evening and seeing everyone literally turning their backs on you and calling you a thief might be enough to at least make these kids stop and consider if the quick payday is worth it. Then again, some people are just criminal scum and the only thing that will stop them is prison or death so...
My little brother got a call from a gift card scammer. We kept him on the phone for 3 hours and made him think he witnessed an old man die of heart attack. He then proceeded to talk to my brother thinking he was my grandson and tried to get the gift cards from him 💀
@@ThisisnottheusernameIwanted I've heard legitimate callers tell the scammer they've had to quit work from cancer, and they've proceeded to rob them. There's no such thing as heart in these people.
Can we just take a minute to understand that Jim literally said "where I will show him a picture of his parents". Now I'm all for taking down scammers believe me, but Jesus Christ that escalated from anti-scammer to Batman real quick 🤣
There is no excuse Jim. I myself am 21, and know how terrible a thing like this is. The fact he has the guts to, just minutes/days later, continue scamming after the confrontations show how emotionally detached he is from this situation. All he cares for are his pockets. Put him away.
It's amazing what this channel has become. You've moved from an entertaining scam baiting channel, to a very hard working, well connected scam busting channel. It's incredible what you're doing, and I'm so thankful that someone with the technical know-how is making sure these scumbags have a tough time doing anything. Please keep up the good work.
I love how you are always ahead of scammers. Crazy how the guy would still keep scamming even after seeing that photo of his mother and his father being told about him. Amazing work Jim.
For us it seems crazy but you have to remember that scammers are the lowest form of humanity and this douchebag proves it. They don't care who they hurt because in their mind they're somehow entitled to it. Even if we had an army of Jim Brownings I doubt it would even make a dent in stopping them :(
@@Veronica.John10-10 I would agree that is certainly correct. I agree with Jim that going to the parents was a good idea (in theory) especially with the useless, corrupt police but unfortunately it's too little too late.
👆👆Watching your great inspiration and if you still need help with scammer refunds, crypto scam, account recovery including winning your self a gift Send text to the above username always work with sincerity also legitimate recommendations…
imagine being a scammer and having a few days where some one keeps interfering with you, then you watch a video from Jim and hear your own voice. and everything makes sense
Jim. Young scammers become old scammers that teach new scammers. He is not remorseful at this point and will bald face lie to his own parents. It is time to turn it over to authorities, if they will even do anything. You really did go above and beyond to allow him to change on his own. As always keep up the good work!
In India, people care a lot about their image. They want to show themselves as the best just like social media. Showing their parents what their son does is a good options, but in the end they are his parents and eventually he can fool them in thinking he has left this behind and now is doing a honest job and the parents will try to hide this to save their family image. Publicly showing his acts will now show the relatives and friends of this world what he truly does for a living. I think this video is the best action that you can take Jim. Goodjob!
I say, come up with a dossier, a few pages, at least one with nice color glossy images of the scammer, and send to all neighbors on the block in front of the house, and the block behind. Could make a video about that I suppose, lol. Fire those off and the parental pressure I'm sure will skyrocket to as yet unseen levels, they'll MAKE him quit then I bet
These scammers are a national humiliation to every indian. The scum of India. Sadly, we have these types of scumbags here in America too! In America, if you are caught doin something like this, your family just cuts you completely off. No one likes thieves. Ganesh bless you friend.
Yes, telling on these guys to their own parents was my suggestion. I'm sad to see the parents have not been able to influence their boy into doing better. Everyone is different. This guy is tenacious. I'm sure you'll keep on him and eventually will get enough evidence to get him out of the game. Keep at it!
@@seafoodpizza Scammers can take a very large amount of money very quickly. No matter what the salary is, it's still an enticing job for young people wanting to get rich quick. What really needs to happen is there needs to be consequences for the scammers as a deterrent. They know that as things are right now, they may get caught, but they will be immediately released.
Thank you for doing what you do, Jim💯I love your content and can’t click fast enough when I see a notification from you! Hope you & your family have a WONDERFULLY FANTASTIC Sunday/Week💯🙏KEEP IT UP, SIR!!
@dandon1105 Maybe so but if EVERYONE knows about it...that is a different story! Huge difference when it is just ‘in the family’ that knows and ‘in the ENTIRE community/neighborhood’ where friends and other family members know. Jim’s videos are watched HEAVILY in their country💯Hope you and your family have a wonderful weekend/week💯🙏
Maybe the father cried because he knew that people outside the home would now know their shame, and he realised that his son could soon be arrested, and everyone would know they had all been living of stolen money.
Years ago when I worked at a bank, a young lady was very rude and abusive to one of the tellers in our drive through. I happened to know her parents very well, so I told them, which immediately improved her behavior. This approach only works if the parents are honorable people. If they're not, then it won't. But I appreciate that you were trying to keep a young man out of the criminal justice system. It's a great thought.
Somehow I feel like that this guy's parents are most likely in on it; The mother had some really lavish clothing, so I wouldn't be surprised if they came from poverty and are now enjoying life a little. If so, the father would of course try to protect his son by playing shocked.
Yeah at one point this guy confronted my wife in front of our home, and was quite abusive, he felt she cut him off on his scooter or something. He ended up smashing our doorbell, and then drove away. He even threatened her to burn down the house, so we went to the police, they found him because my wife had remembered the license plate. I snuck a peak at the screen when they punched in the license plate and saw his name. A slight amount of facebook stalking later i found out that his parents lived just 10 houses down our street. He was reluctant to pay for the smashed doorbell (Not the cheapest model) but when i said to him "I wonder if your parents that i know live down the road, knows how you behave" and suddenly he paid up without saying another word, even though he had told the police that he would not pay, as he claimed he had nothing to do with it being broken. He knew that if i told his parents how he behaved towards the "neighbors" where the parents lived, he was in for a shouting :)
Dear Jim, you should have reported him to local police. He is not Rakesh yet but he will another Rakesh soon. He has followed the same footsteps and who knows maybe he will be worse Rakesh one day. I have mentioned this to you once that I work for a major Canadian financial institution as fraud investigation officer, I speak to clients who have been victims of fraud or about to become a victim of fraud. I have even spoken directly to a scammer once who convinced bank's client to call bank's security department to report a credit card transaction as a legitimate transactions by conferencing a call to bank which in that case disconnected the call and blocked victim's account. These scammer are ruthless and would do anything to destroy someone's life. When it comes to education of how to prevent scam and fraud I always ask clients to watch your channel, your work is always appreciated.
Mr. Browning, I as well as millions of others can not Thank You enough for all you,Trilogy Media, Johnny Muzak, Kitboga, Scammer Payback, SR, and the hundreds of other Scam Baiters to numerous to mention do for us Seniors!!!!! All I can do is to ask y’all to please keep doing the great work y’all are doing and stay strong!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Jim. This is amazing work. One time, I got a call from an Indian-sounding scammer, and we kept talking for 30 minutes about the Windows on my computer when I finally had to step into the elevator and I told him that I actually had a Mac, and that I had no idea what we were talking about.
It’s always funny how there scams fall apart so easily.I did a similar one where I told them I only only had an iPhone and no PC after an hour.Apparently I could only get my “refund” if I had a windows PC.Which makes zero sense.
@@BrooklynBalla Nah you just don't understand, those very special premium refund services work only on Windows 10 or 11 by going manually into your bank account with remote support software and sending $1500 as an initial payment so they can pay you $1550 back a week later.
My record for keeping them on the phone was 45 mins, doing the “wee old lady” act and acting confused when I couldn’t find the Windows key, eventually mentioning I was looking at my iPad 😂
Jim! You do such an awesome job of getting this done. I wish you guys would all unite as the People's Call Center again. I also had an idea that might help you help these people even more if it's possible. Possibly hijacking the call numbers they use and forwarding them to some of our phones so that we can help you by warning people, as well as possibly helping these victims uninstall and recognize scam programs. I'd certainly be willing to help out doing this. I've got almost 20 years of technical background, and it sickens me to see these people getting taken advantage of.
Dear Jim Browning, Though I appreciate you going after the scammers, I do think that they're just a bunch of small fish... I think you should go after the owners and managers of these call centers... If you can hurt them financially, (The owners and Managers) then you're really doing something... The small fish are easily replaceable. When you give a proper flogging to the Owner, oh, what a sweet day it'll be...
@@mruncletheredge you apparently haven't seen his collaborations or all of his videos. Jim has assisted in getting entire call centers shut down, arrested, and helped expose thier management and owners. The biggest problem is that the government there is corrupt as well, and simply lets them back out to do these crimes again. That isn't something he can expose easily, or safely.
This video should be shown to his parents. That way they'll know that even they are scam victims of their own son by him lying to them. They really should do something about their son because scamming seems to be a kind of addiction to these folks.
Keep doing what you are doing......continue to delete their files.......You and the other guys who work so hard to protect us deserve gold stars for what you do. From the thousands of people you have saved.......THANK YOU!
Jim, I have to laugh. Not at you but the scammers. You are the Pitbull against scammers. You get a hold of the scammers and you DON'T let them go. Thank you Sir. Godspeed!
Not odd at all. Most Indians are hard-working people with good moral values. As happens everywhere on Planet Earth, there is a tiny minority who will do whatever, regardless of who they might hurt.
something I like to do, that can be very easy, is to get a call flooding program, and finding the number for the call center. once you do this, set the program to call them from various numbers (mine can do it from about 300 numbers at once, but some are less extreme) and have it play some loud noise or similar. this does a few things, 1) it wastes their time, which annoys them, and also means they can't spend that time scamming, 2) large volumes of calls often cost the company money, which can drain them very quickly and 3) it forces them to go offline for a short amount of time, and often get new accounts, new phone numbers, and often makes them wary and more likely to hang up on actual victims. this costs a large amount of money and time on their part, but is relatively cheap for you and is automated, so you can leave it running and go do something else.
I'd personally pay for a billboard to display a picture of him, with a description of what he does! If going to his parents and trying to get them to stop him isn't working, then his face and scam being plastered 3x9m in public might do the trick.
These should actually be taught as case studies in Business studies. I seriously wish if all of us understand that anyone can get scammed. I myself was about to get scammed once with a debit card verification scam and then a job related scam asking me to pay up first before I get a job. Good job Jim. I really wish if your video titles and thumbnails would make it a bit more attention grabbing and less scam looking.
Time flies so fast, It's 7 years since I've been watching your videos, you videos taught me about the scams, and you inspired me to waste scammers time. I bet everyone here got inspired by you as well. Keep up the great work!
Every time I get a scam call I ask the caller, “does your mother know what you are doing? Does she know you are stealing money from elderly people?” They always hang up immediately. 😅
You're too nice, Jim. Despite overwhelming proof, you're taking it too easy on him. You have a very good heart, but you also fight for justice. Thanks for being a role model.
I’m shocked how people believe in this simple social engineering. I’m proud that we have some people like you. I wish to have your knowledge to help you at your mission.
Thank you to you and all the guys you work with for going after these scumbags. I hope that over the years you might have heard the calls that I get from these scams. I just have a lot of fun with them and I hope its a breath of fresh air for your ears.
Quite honorable of you to give the man a real chance to get the message and mend his ways. Young people don't always want to listen and sometimes it takes a series of mistakes in order to really learn.
If you have someone who can get him on a scam call with his own mother or father, maybe that could be enough to make him think twice about his ability to evade harm. There is no honor among thieves, and there is no honor among scammers. His crime boss won't think twice about throwing him under the bus, taking his money, and running.
I tried to help my great aunt who was being scammed this way but she refused to listen to me, or anyone else. I told her she should listen to her developer of a nephew over a random stranger, but what can you do if they don't care to listen? Some people can't help themselves. Its sad to see old folks continuously falling for these tricks. Thank you for doing this.
I knew a lady in a similar situation, she was being scammed by a fake online boyfriend. Her friends and family had been telling her it was a scam for months. She lost so much money she eventually had to sell her home. I tried telling her instead that she could do better - why try to be with a guy who always was in trouble and always needed her money? I don’t know if it worked but it was worth a try.
What about a file that checks for any of these remote access tools and deletes them every half hour? The vast majority of scamable users have no legitimate need for TeamViewer, etc.
@@DavidBrown-hy4vm yeah that only works if she's willing to listen to me and not believe that they aren't actually her bank or what-have-you. If someone isn't going to listen to you, you can't help them.
Jim I’m so proud of you. I’m a 62 yr old. They have tried to scam me several times. I’m to sharp for them. They scammed my 25 yr old twice You should be so so proud of your self. It’s normally Indian accents. ❤.
Always contact a company directly (for example never respond through the email provided, but go directly to their website for orders, phone numbers, and to verify email addresses).
Jim you're quite literally a hero helping so many people avoid these scams. Not only is he raising awareness but hes going out of his way to tackle the source. This is coming from someone whos lost a huge amount of my money to scammers as a young student.
Perfect! This only works with scammers that have rudiment flinter decency left. But there are also scammers whom would make their mothers walk the streets for money, and then steel that money from her. I have not the impression that scammers have feelings any more.
Thank you for making people wiser..I’ve had five scam text messages this week alone..one of them which people could easily fall for..keep going with your great work.
Perhaps he needs to receive some physical intervention. He doesn't care about anyone else but he might care about being incapacitated for a while. Sociopaths only care about themselves.
This is a great video. You're doing an awesome job! Please, keep up the great work. For the question raised which is; how to deal with scammers? I have an idea that might be worth trying out. We know that most scammers are teenagers that want to show off to their friends and they'll probably do a lot to "be cool". The way they do that, mostly, is social media. selfies, cool posts, religious posts or whatever gets their gears in motion. What if his own social media account, "magically", had posts about the scams he's running and the victims he has hurt. It would show his friends, the ones he's trying so hard to be cool in front of, that he's a bad guy. Public Shaming against the people he's been trying to be cool in front of. I think that would hurt a person with that mentality, a lot (i believe). Just an idea.
Call them a thief, in their relatives circle and watch them flip out. What I mean is, parents can shelter them but the moment the relatives say "your son is a thief" you can ensure they are never coming back in this line.
Hi Jim, it's another amazing video. Seeing the ease with which he lied to your contact was astounding, what I see is a man with 0 shame or dignity, you might be doing the world a favor by sending him to jail. Besides that I guess you could directly start threatening him with the eventual arrest, through his email or WhatsApp, spam him I mean, to get him to submit out of fear. If all else fails, you would have to involve the authorities since at the end of the day, innocents are being scammed out of their money.
I’m binge watching your videos. I just discovered you via Scammer Payback which I also just discovered & loving you both. Jim, you have the patience of a saint. Your voice is so pleasing & these pushy scammers have these annoying voices like fingernails on a chalkboard! How do you stand it? One thing in your live stream (at least the early one I’m currently watching) your voice is drowned out by scammer squeak. I hope you now have a moderator that can fine tune your volume whilst on the air or someone letting you know you are barely heard saying your thank yous. Keep up the good work! Bless you & all you do.✨
did you ever see the special program Hansen did around 2000-2001 about trying to track credit card fraud/scams back to the source? He showed how stolen credit card numbers were sold online, packages being shipped to random houses and picked up while residents were away, even got as far as England to speak to a "businessman" who was very cagey about talking about his involvement. I consider myself lucky I saw it years ago because it helped me understand some current scams now
@@JimBrowning For now his parents still seem to (want to) believe him. But showing him a picture of his mom should at least make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up :D
One day I hope we can do proper safe guards to protect people from scams like these. Thanks Jim. Your videos have helped my mother recognize these scams
Apart from his parents did you approach any of his other Instagram friends? Also, are your videos popular in India/translated to local languages? I suspect investing in marketing your material in India and then linking uncensored versions of these videos to key friends of the scammers could be just as powerful as approaching the scammers’ parents - or at least those friends might be in a good place to advise you as to what you could do to help discourage them from scamming?
@@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent I think that's part of the point... Getting the actual family invested (due to their own "shame" among the neighbors and community) so that they will stop the scammer. It would be problematic due to YT's rules and the possibility of inciting actual violence due to doxxing though, so I'd also only recommend a more direct approach (not spray the info all over the community, but only contact family members directly)
This just demonstrates that you can't trust criminals. They would even sell their mother and lie no matter what. They treat warnings as a "get out of jail" card and learn nothing.
Great video. Maybe convince his family to intercept his stolen money and give it back to the people he's scammed. Allow them to view his activities along with you through his computer. Not sure if this would work but it's a thought. Very clever idea going to his parents.
Jim again a great video. Is their any journalists that you could possibly work with out of India that could get these scammers on Indian tv. That way there would be more exposure to the community. If as I know it most of Indian citizens do not like these scammers either. Thanks again for all you do. When can we see you back at the call center (soon I hope)
@@JimBrowning checkout newslaundry, very good and clean journalism unlike other indian media house who work for political party and personal agenda. Not advertising or corporate money newslaundry runs on. It's only run by people money.
Papa Jim is always doing the lords work out here, saving people from ruining their lives, saving people from scams, and vigilante justice for those that scam. Idk how all of TH-cam isn’t watching you man. I miss the older videos before you became a god who can take over the whole call center, not that those aren’t great series to watch, I just personally wouldn’t mind an old school style video from time to time about a 1 off situation and this video here was exactly what I was looking for, thank you Mr. Browning
The fact that the scammer was watching Jim's videos while Jim was on his computer is top tier memes
Hopefully he sees this video and it causes a Browning in his pants.
And he didn't recognize his voice??

@@IEKevin this is such a huge part of it. I try not to hate on scammers as a whole because there's bigger systems at work that cause people to do these "jobs." Of course most won't change overnight because that's just not how human brains work and we're talking potentially an overhaul of personal values and that change is a process, even a journey. And I'm sure most of us when in our early-mid 20s fixated on 'getting that bag' and even justifying it with "my parents will be so proud! I can provide for them!" even if the work was harmful.
This is why I love watching and learning about these scams from Jim Browning and others because while we can focus on stopping one scammer and helping one victim at a time, we're also learning it's the owners making big money at the top who are benefitting the most and bribing authorities to keep scamming.

This was very smart. What a lot of people don't understand is that India is a shame-based culture rather than a guilt based culture. You'll often hear about "bringing shame upon one's family"
Even if you tell their parents and the parents are okay with it, they won't be okay if you tell the parent's wider community. They will be so embarrassed if their community knows their son is a scammer.
I really want to see you go further down this route. I for one think it's going to be a lot more effective than telling the police.
Agreed!
Not if Narendra Modi still in charge..
Super agree with the shame vs guilt culture!! "Imagine what would the neighbours say" hehehe
The scammer himself was talking about his reputation too so he's obviously worried about what people around him think
I think it's because they really believe you can shame someone to death like a curse.
I am sitting here wondering how people can be so stupid as to fall for such obvious scams, but when I'm an old man and people are scamming in the metaverse or through our cyberpunk style neural chips, I'll probably fall for it too one day.
I'm sure you know already that's how we'll get scammed. We think we're smart and know best, but in the past year Jim *and* Atomic Shrimp got scammed. Heck, just a week ago I *almost* clicked an email link that looked like an official bank message but just managed to stop myself in time and log in to check my account myself, all because I was autopiloting my evening email check-in.
@@eldrichnemo9312 jim got scammed? vid link if possible please
One of the simplest things but eaiest to overlook is take your time - Scammers do not allow time for possible victims to think or tell anyone who might alert them.
No legitimate business would pressure the customer, and would totally understand the customer hanging up and calling back on their official website.
But they are master manipulators after all. Perhaps we need to crowdfund a massive advertisement campaign or leaflefts that can be posted to the most vulnerable in order to raise awareness since we're more likely to succeed here than ever get scam call centres in india shut down.

"The police in that city is next to useless"... I loved that and yes I'm from Kolkata... The truth has been spoken yet again
Police in India when it comes to overall scamming and scammers are useless.
And not just there in Kolkata. I remember a video where this lady was looking for a btc atm and Jim got the number of the store. He was able to get the store employee to warn her. But then the scammers told her to leave and go to another store. Jim called the police in her city. I forget what city but they literally seemed more concerned at how Jim was in the scammer's computer than the fact a citizen in their town was being scammed. I did a little research on that town right after seeing the video and that police dept is next to useless too. 😡😡😡 I could tell Jim was frustrated. He really did try to save her though.
@@tsol438 I remember that video. He tried to save this person but sadly, was not successful. With law enforcement not doing anything, the only thing we can do is spread the word about these scams and hopefully, people will listen and not fall for them.

Yeah but if scammers didn't exist then Jim Browning and others like him would be out of work so i secretly think that they encourage such activities for their own job security.
The only good kind of vigilantes
Hey Jim, I actually have a good idea... Trilogy Media could probably pull it off too. Invest in a billboard vehicle either LCD or just the old fashion vinyl image of the scammers and drive it around each scammers neighborhood so everyone in the area knows what they do.
We actually thought of doing just that around the major scam call centers in Kolkata...
@@JimBrowning It's a fantastic idea! I know for sure the community would help with costs if all of the scambaiters ask us to pitch in.💕💕💕💙
YES! This is a great idea.
I was thinking the same! Great idea
Yes! This is exactly the type of thing I've been wanting to see for years. You probably noticed that this loser was quick to mention his "reputation" being ruined if people found out he scammed people for a living. He is definitely not the first scammer I've heard say this, or that their parents would be devastated to learn they'd raised a criminal.
Imagine answering every phone call, holding your breath just hoping it isn't a scambaiter because just two days earlier, while you were out with friends, you saw one of your "colleagues" name and face plastered all over billboards/ LCD screens with the enormous word "SCAMMER" splashed across it. For as large as India is, I would imagine that even the big cities have fairly close, tight-knit little communities within it, where people know one another or, at the very least, recognize faces. The fear of walking to "work" one evening and seeing everyone literally turning their backs on you and calling you a thief might be enough to at least make these kids stop and consider if the quick payday is worth it.
Then again, some people are just criminal scum and the only thing that will stop them is prison or death so...
My little brother got a call from a gift card scammer.
We kept him on the phone for 3 hours and made him think he witnessed an old man die of heart attack. He then proceeded to talk to my brother thinking he was my grandson and tried to get the gift cards from him 💀

For us it seems crazy but you have to remember that scammers are the lowest form of humanity and this douchebag proves it.

Jim. Young scammers become old scammers that teach new scammers. He is not remorseful at this point and will bald face lie to his own parents. It is time to turn it over to authorities, if they will even do anything. You really did go above and beyond to allow him to change on his own. As always keep up the good work!
Indian government will do nothing: unless special forces go in and take all of their nukes hostage until they actually do something about scammers.
In India, people care a lot about their image. They want to show themselves as the best just like social media. Showing their parents what their son does is a good options, but in the end they are his parents and eventually he can fool them in thinking he has left this behind and now is doing a honest job and the parents will try to hide this to save their family image. Publicly showing his acts will now show the relatives and friends of this world what he truly does for a living. I think this video is the best action that you can take Jim. Goodjob!
I say, come up with a dossier, a few pages, at least one with nice color glossy images of the scammer, and send to all neighbors on the block in front of the house, and the block behind. Could make a video about that I suppose, lol. Fire those off and the parental pressure I'm sure will skyrocket to as yet unseen levels, they'll MAKE him quit then I bet
Share the story with the local newspaper or TV network.
These scammers are a national humiliation to every indian. The scum of India. Sadly, we have these types of scumbags here in America too!

@@seafoodpizza Scammers can take a very large amount of money very quickly. No matter what the salary is, it's still an enticing job for young people wanting to get rich quick.

Jim thank you so much for your unwavering hard work on stopping these evil people who are trying to ruin people's lives.
Maybe the father cried because he knew that people outside the home would now know their shame, and he realised that his son could soon be arrested, and everyone would know they had all been living of stolen money.
Years ago when I worked at a bank, a young lady was very rude and abusive to one of the tellers in our drive through. I happened to know her parents very well, so I told them, which immediately improved her behavior. This approach only works if the parents are honorable people. If they're not, then it won't. But I appreciate that you were trying to keep a young man out of the criminal justice system. It's a great thought.
Somehow I feel like that this guy's parents are most likely in on it; The mother had some really lavish clothing, so I wouldn't be surprised if they came from poverty and are now enjoying life a little.
If so, the father would of course try to protect his son by playing shocked.
Most likely that rude young woman learned her behavior from her parents.
Yeah at one point this guy confronted my wife in front of our home, and was quite abusive, he felt she cut him off on his scooter or something.
He ended up smashing our doorbell, and then drove away. He even threatened her to burn down the house, so we went to the police, they found him because my wife had remembered the license plate. I snuck a peak at the screen when they punched in the license plate and saw his name. A slight amount of facebook stalking later i found out that his parents lived just 10 houses down our street.
He was reluctant to pay for the smashed doorbell (Not the cheapest model) but when i said to him "I wonder if your parents that i know live down the road, knows how you behave" and suddenly he paid up without saying another word, even though he had told the police that he would not pay, as he claimed he had nothing to do with it being broken.
He knew that if i told his parents how he behaved towards the "neighbors" where the parents lived, he was in for a shouting :)

Dear Jim, you should have reported him to local police. He is not Rakesh yet but he will another Rakesh soon. He has followed the same footsteps and who knows maybe he will be worse Rakesh one day. I have mentioned this to you once that I work for a major Canadian financial institution as fraud investigation officer, I speak to clients who have been victims of fraud or about to become a victim of fraud. I have even spoken directly to a scammer once who convinced bank's client to call bank's security department to report a credit card transaction as a legitimate transactions by conferencing a call to bank which in that case disconnected the call and blocked victim's account. These scammer are ruthless and would do anything to destroy someone's life. When it comes to education of how to prevent scam and fraud I always ask clients to watch your channel, your work is always appreciated.

Thank you Jim. This is amazing work. One time, I got a call from an Indian-sounding scammer, and we kept talking for 30 minutes about the Windows on my computer when I finally had to step into the elevator and I told him that I actually had a Mac, and that I had no idea what we were talking about.
It’s always funny how there scams fall apart so easily.I did a similar one where I told them I only only had an iPhone and no PC after an hour.Apparently I could only get my “refund” if I had a windows PC.Which makes zero sense.
@@BrooklynBalla Nah you just don't understand, those very special premium refund services work only on Windows 10 or 11 by going manually into your bank account with remote support software and sending $1500 as an initial payment so they can pay you $1550 back a week later.
I once had a call like that. Told him I didn't had windows and hung up. I don't have the patience to mess with them.
@@karine-v I've got such a phone call twice, but unfortunately I was in a hurry both times and couldn't mess with them.
My record for keeping them on the phone was 45 mins, doing the “wee old lady” act and acting confused when I couldn’t find the Windows key, eventually mentioning I was looking at my iPad 😂
Jim! You do such an awesome job of getting this done. I wish you guys would all unite as the People's Call Center again. I also had an idea that might help you help these people even more if it's possible. Possibly hijacking the call numbers they use and forwarding them to some of our phones so that we can help you by warning people, as well as possibly helping these victims uninstall and recognize scam programs. I'd certainly be willing to help out doing this. I've got almost 20 years of technical background, and it sickens me to see these people getting taken advantage of.
Dear Jim Browning, Though I appreciate you going after the scammers, I do think that they're just a bunch of small fish...
I think you should go after the owners and managers of these call centers...
If you can hurt them financially, (The owners and Managers) then you're really doing something...
The small fish are easily replaceable. When you give a proper flogging to the Owner, oh, what a sweet day it'll be...
@@mruncletheredge you apparently haven't seen his collaborations or all of his videos. Jim has assisted in getting entire call centers shut down, arrested, and helped expose thier management and owners. The biggest problem is that the government there is corrupt as well, and simply lets them back out to do these crimes again. That isn't something he can expose easily, or safely.
@@mruncletheredgethe big fish are American politicians.

Lmao, parents are terrifying 🤣
I would be scared if someone off the internet finds out where I live AND they come to my door, that would stop me whatsoever even if I'm innocent
It is odd to know how most parents of scammers are decent people and do not like scammers themselves.
Goes for a lot of criminals really.
Most parents will be embarassed that their kids turn to crime, as they will feel it reflects badly back to them, having failed his upbringing.
its mostly the religion out there
@@johnnydownzer3839 oh the same thing that has mothers strapping 💣 to their children and bragging about their sacrifice.
U R a joke.
Not odd at all. Most Indians are hard-working people with good moral values. As happens everywhere on Planet Earth, there is a tiny minority who will do whatever, regardless of who they might hurt.
something I like to do, that can be very easy, is to get a call flooding program, and finding the number for the call center. once you do this, set the program to call them from various numbers (mine can do it from about 300 numbers at once, but some are less extreme) and have it play some loud noise or similar. this does a few things, 1) it wastes their time, which annoys them, and also means they can't spend that time scamming, 2) large volumes of calls often cost the company money, which can drain them very quickly and 3) it forces them to go offline for a short amount of time, and often get new accounts, new phone numbers, and often makes them wary and more likely to hang up on actual victims. this costs a large amount of money and time on their part, but is relatively cheap for you and is automated, so you can leave it running and go do something else.
I'd personally pay for a billboard to display a picture of him, with a description of what he does! If going to his parents and trying to get them to stop him isn't working, then his face and scam being plastered 3x9m in public might do the trick.
These should actually be taught as case studies in Business studies. I seriously wish if all of us understand that anyone can get scammed. I myself was about to get scammed once with a debit card verification scam and then a job related scam asking me to pay up first before I get a job. Good job Jim. I really wish if your video titles and thumbnails would make it a bit more attention grabbing and less scam looking.
Him sharing you around was the best plot twist in anime.

Quite honorable of you to give the man a real chance to get the message and mend his ways. Young people don't always want to listen and sometimes it takes a series of mistakes in order to really learn.
And maybe a sharp punch to the face.
If you have someone who can get him on a scam call with his own mother or father, maybe that could be enough to make him think twice about his ability to evade harm. There is no honor among thieves, and there is no honor among scammers. His crime boss won't think twice about throwing him under the bus, taking his money, and running.
The scariest thing is how incredibly easy it is to trick and scam people out of their money, good thing most people have a conscience.
I tried to help my great aunt who was being scammed this way but she refused to listen to me, or anyone else. I told her she should listen to her developer of a nephew over a random stranger, but what can you do if they don't care to listen? Some people can't help themselves. Its sad to see old folks continuously falling for these tricks. Thank you for doing this.
I knew a lady in a similar situation, she was being scammed by a fake online boyfriend. Her friends and family had been telling her it was a scam for months. She lost so much money she eventually had to sell her home. I tried telling her instead that she could do better - why try to be with a guy who always was in trouble and always needed her money? I don’t know if it worked but it was worth a try.
What about a file that checks for any of these remote access tools and deletes them every half hour? The vast majority of scamable users have no legitimate need for TeamViewer, etc.
@@DavidBrown-hy4vm yeah that only works if she's willing to listen to me and not believe that they aren't actually her bank or what-have-you. If someone isn't going to listen to you, you can't help them.

This is a great video. You're doing an awesome job! Please, keep up the great work.
For the question raised which is; how to deal with scammers?
I have an idea that might be worth trying out.
We know that most scammers are teenagers that want to show off to their friends and they'll probably do a lot to "be cool".
The way they do that, mostly, is social media. selfies, cool posts, religious posts or whatever gets their gears in motion.
What if his own social media account, "magically", had posts about the scams he's running and the victims he has hurt. It would show his friends, the ones he's trying so hard to be cool in front of, that he's a bad guy. Public Shaming against the people he's been trying to be cool in front of. I think that would hurt a person with that mentality, a lot (i believe).
Just an idea.
Shame there isn’t more people like you to be able to help out all the poor people being scammed. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.
Call them a thief, in their relatives circle and watch them flip out. What I mean is, parents can shelter them but the moment the relatives say "your son is a thief" you can ensure they are never coming back in this line.
Keep doing what you are doing Jim. Thanks for helping people out.
i love how he uses the least possible blur for his face
Honestly, telling a scammers parents is probably better than the police. The police will release them eventually. The shame of the parents is forever
It's not much of a scientific experiment, but it's one way that they guy might think about stopping what he's doing.

Hi Jim, it's another amazing video. Seeing the ease with which he lied to your contact was astounding, what I see is a man with 0 shame or dignity, you might be doing the world a favor by sending him to jail. Besides that I guess you could directly start threatening him with the eventual arrest, through his email or WhatsApp, spam him I mean, to get him to submit out of fear. If all else fails, you would have to involve the authorities since at the end of the day, innocents are being scammed out of their money.

I swear Jim is like the Chris Hansen of the Internet. Scammers never know when he's gonna show up with a picture of them.
did you ever see the special program Hansen did around 2000-2001 about trying to track credit card fraud/scams back to the source? He showed how stolen credit card numbers were sold online, packages being shipped to random houses and picked up while residents were away, even got as far as England to speak to a "businessman" who was very cagey about talking about his involvement. I consider myself lucky I saw it years ago because it helped me understand some current scams now

@@JimBrowning For now his parents still seem to (want to) believe him. But showing him a picture of his mom should at least make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up :D
One day I hope we can do proper safe guards to protect people from scams like these. Thanks Jim. Your videos have helped my mother recognize these scams
POLICE!!!! He's a full grown man! Stop babying him.
I want Jim for every circumstance in life.
In Jim's voice: I understand you are being chased by a bear.
Apart from his parents did you approach any of his other Instagram friends? Also, are your videos popular in India/translated to local languages? I suspect investing in marketing your material in India and then linking uncensored versions of these videos to key friends of the scammers could be just as powerful as approaching the scammers’ parents - or at least those friends might be in a good place to advise you as to what you could do to help discourage them from scamming?
The scammers family who have no affiliations with their illegal operations might be affected as well because of that
@@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent I think that's part of the point... Getting the actual family invested (due to their own "shame" among the neighbors and community) so that they will stop the scammer.
It would be problematic due to YT's rules and the possibility of inciting actual violence due to doxxing though, so I'd also only recommend a more direct approach (not spray the info all over the community, but only contact family members directly)
This just demonstrates that you can't trust criminals. They would even sell their mother and lie no matter what. They treat warnings as a "get out of jail" card and learn nothing.
Nothing makes me happier then when you intercept a scam and talk to the person directly. 🎉
At this point, Jim hates the Kolkata police more that he hates scammers
Great video. Maybe convince his family to intercept his stolen money and give it back to the people he's scammed. Allow them to view his activities along with you through his computer. Not sure if this would work but it's a thought. Very clever idea going to his parents.
You're doing good work Jim, love from India
Thank you 'y'.... really appreciated. Nice to hear from the real India.
The only unrealistic thing is the customer support line giving you a representative in time before they get the money out of the gift card
Jim again a great video. Is their any journalists that you could possibly work with out of India that could get these scammers on Indian tv. That way there would be more exposure to the community. If as I know it most of Indian citizens do not like these scammers either. Thanks again for all you do. When can we see you back at the call center (soon I hope)
That is a good idea. I'll see if I can reach out to see if anyone will be interested in the conventional media there.
@@JimBrowning checkout newslaundry, very good and clean journalism unlike other indian media house who work for political party and personal agenda. Not advertising or corporate money newslaundry runs on. It's only run by people money.
Papa Jim is always doing the lords work out here, saving people from ruining their lives, saving people from scams, and vigilante justice for those that scam. Idk how all of TH-cam isn’t watching you man. I miss the older videos before you became a god who can take over the whole call center, not that those aren’t great series to watch, I just personally wouldn’t mind an old school style video from time to time about a 1 off situation and this video here was exactly what I was looking for, thank you Mr. Browning
Parents, friends, relatives, batch mates. The ultimate bullies can stop the scammer.
