I am nearly 70 years old and my memory is slipping away at an disastrous rate. Life has become so scary. Things that were once easy are so difficult, and it is all terribly frightening. I continue to look much younger than my age, and still work, but my lack of recall means my days are numbered. I feel terrible for the people being victimized as I can see myself in their position. Just want you to know that you are my hero. Thank you for what you are doing.
Did you invest in the Adrenal package which is rather expensive, or did you follow dietary guidelines and add recommended vitamins... PS I'm so glad you had such a wonderful outcome, and your mam certainly raised you to be a kind and caring person. xo
@P J S Sounds like what you're doing is just right. And here I was eating apples for a healthy snack... like 3 a day :( I'm making a list of things on the video and will follow your lead. Thank you again for reaching out and hope you continue to get better each and every day. xo
@@dawnadriana1764 whatever you do regarding supplements or people who claim to be able to heal all kinds of things, Google for customer complaints about them before buying. There are tons of useless or spurious overpriced junk out there and I'd hate for you to accidentally get ripped off via a comment on a video about rip-off artists. Your first comment seriously made me tear up. I'm only in my 50s now but I definitely feel my decline. I'm sorry for what you're going through and I wish you absolutely all the best.
Polestar 69 vulnerable, child, elder Woman or man... Or healthy white causausian Male in his 20s... IT DOESNT MATTER. IT is simply immoral in Any Situation.
my grandpa is in his 70s, and loves to play with these types of scammers, so when the scammer tells him to press a button on his computer, he says that he pressed it, while he didnt, and he has so much fun while they get fustrated
it's not actually bad grammar, it's just an intentional freudian slip, they mean "i'm sorry i have to hear about you" without the person knowing the real meaning.
Cold cold ending. Scammer realises they cannot steal from these victims so hangs up. No goodbye, no attempt to even try to pretend to be polite, the victims are no longer a cash option so just drop them and discard. Says a lot about the mentality. Of course what they do isn't any more palatable when they pretend to be nice but the way this call ended was a mask removal of sorts.
Jim sounds scary, literally, Just listen to his tone in every video, He's calm, he could know where you live, your info, and a lot of things about you that'll make you shit urself, He's a fucking legend.
I've watched some videos where he gives off audible empathy when the victims have already made transfers but most of the time you can tell how conditioned he is and remains focused on a positive outcome.
@Han Lockhart There's a comment on another video that said his aunt was retired from the consumer protection agency and got scammed out of all her life savings.
I'm sure the pos scammer hopes so too, just so he can sleep slightly better at night thinking he didn't actually scam someone who is physically handicapped for the rest of their life. It really takes a garbage human being to remorselessly scam people like this
imagine that happening since it was going on for 1 and a half hour. they would likely see one of jim brownings videos. havent they heard the term "indian scammers" when walking past school childeren?
@@SDfighter1 In another one of Jim's videos, the one where he saw the scammers through CCTV, a victim began crying on the phone and said he suffered from depression. He was just about to be scammed out of I recall 300 pounds on top of it. The scammers around the one on the phone were just laughing at this. This is truly another level of evil.
@@floatyseagull9472 There are 3 main reasons why the Indian Police aren't doing anything. Firstly, their priority to keep local Indians safe. Not foreigners!.. Secondly, the problem is now too big for them to control. Thirdly, the scam call center owners are making so much money that they can bribe the Police and hire the best lawyers in India if they get taken to caught.
The saddest thing: the poor woman probably wanted to talk to them. A lot of these old folks feel very lonely and and some are even happy when they get these calls.
Jim you are my bloody hero mate. I work with pensioners and people with disabilities on a daily basis and I constantly deal with the after effects of these scams. Pensioners left with nothing because of these people. I can to a point deal with folk coming in and out of their homes as most folk live in a single building so we have successfully prosecuted several people scamming folk face to face. But these types of crime are very difficult to spot let alone recover from. Keep doing what you’re doing you bloody legend
@@mohammedyasin4031 Yes, daily. This is a serious issue that needs to be addressed by the Indian government even if it takes the victim countries some investment in money and personnel to train/help the indian police
@@mitchellroberts7954 That sickens me. And honestly, I don't think the Indian government would do anything about it. Even if they wanted too, the crooks within the police department would not let the procedures go further. If you don't believe me, the cops are in on it. The reason why they function so well without hiccups is because either the cops are fed more than what they earn OR they run the show. It's hard for you to believe but trust me, it's much worse than you could ever think it is.. But what really grinds my gears is that they steal from the poor, the weak and the vulnerable. Man these people don't even have too long, why steal from them?... It makes me sad and I feel the pain because my brother is autistic and handicapped. It truly hurts.
@@mohammedyasin4031 Serious question here. Do you think the reason the Indian government does nothing is because it's money coming from outside India, and into India? I get the feeling the authorities in India (not all) just don't care and might think "if you can get money from other countries and bring it into India then more power to you." At least I'd imagine that's part of the problem. I guarantee if these scammers were scamming retired Indians within India, they would all be shut down by now.
@@ManUtd503 I haven't lived in India for too long so I can't say for sure. But from my experience in India, most of the policemen that I came across would do anything for money. And I don't know much honestly. Only if there is any sort of international pressure would any government honestly take steps yeah? I know a person who hasn't even attended the state driving test for his license. He just bought it. Traffic violation? Pay a certain amount of money, and they'll basically let you go. And the best one for me, I had to wait 2 years because I didn't know that paying someone was necessary for me to get my degree certificate from the college that I studied in. I don't know anymore. It's confusing. There are some genuine people out there but unfortunately, there is just too much bad these days that it outweighs the good...
@Shrey Bhatt because the commenter was never saying that from their perspective they were quoting what the scammer said. And how can you be blind if you are commenting? BTW I didn't know if you were actually blind or were joking I'm sorry if I offended you.
@@embis3824 There's a Text To Speech feature online that can read out text on screen for blind people. A lot of visually impaired use it for UA-cam. That was just kind of rude, my friend.
I wonder if they have games in the call centre where they have to slip these sort of things into the call. When I worked in a call centre we gave each other words you had to get into conversation to stop yourself getting too bored.
@@barbiquearea Old people lose their abilities to spot scams. My sharp-as-a tack mother has started having nice friendly conversations with them. It's a constant battle.
even if she did remember any of what the scammer asked of her, jim usually breaks silence when no intervention means someone being robbed, still sad that she did give some bank account login data to the scammers, i just hope that the police did something about it with the evidence
being both physically disabled and on the autistic spectrum has made me particularly vulnerable to being targeted by scammers over the years. luckily channels like yours exist so i can understand how they work and avoid the situation these poor people have been dragged into. in fact, after watching this, i've just realized how close i came to being scammed in a way very similar to this just a few weeks ago. thank you for the amazing work you do, it is greatly appreciated 👍
@@fukkitful that's because it depends on the autisme itself. you got hundreds of different ones others are more noticeble, and others aren't. sorry for bad english
@@fukkitful We get this a lot. "Oh you don't look autistic..." "You don't act it, I never would have guessed." How does someone "act" a certain disability? You don't "act" blind, you don't "act" like you have depression, and you don't "act" autistic. The thing is, Autism is a *spectrum disorder*, and some people have more severe symptoms than others. I for example am very mild, but it still makes it difficult for me to function sometimes. I still have issues communicating properly because I misread scenarios, or I say more than I should, or I assume friendship and closeness where there's none. A lot of us have actually learned to camouflage some aspects of our disability - example, I don't "hand-flap", I instead twirl my hair or click a pen. And many of us have learned how to react socially, but that doesn't mean we're always good at it. You randomly make loud noises, I still get flustered. You put me on a time crunch, I still panic. You mess with my workspace and workflow when I had everything in order, I still get annoyed and it still frustrates me, but I'm not going to melt down about it. Autism isn't a thing that is a certain set of symptoms and then it goes away after childhood. It's a social disability. People like us *cannot* read people well, understand intent, or necessarily communicate the way someone not on the spectrum does. That's why we're at risk for being scammed, taken advantage of, or fooled. We literally cannot pick up on the subtle social cues that someone is lying unless we learn otherwise or are taught what to look for, and it's worse for us often when we're tired. To us, not only is everyone wearing a mask, we ourselves are wearing masks, because if we take the mask off people seem to think there's something wrong with us. There really isn't, we just have brains that work in a very, very different way. It's not that we're broken, we just have something that is a bit of a hurdle for us sometimes in a world that really isn't built for us. And half the time, we might not even know why we're the way we are ourselves.
One of the scariest things about this call is that it's a single occurrence. You can hear other scammers talking to people in the background. I can only imagine how many poor victims have fallen to this trap already. These scammers need to be locked up. It's absolutely appalling.
Scamming is an international multi-billion dollar business that spreads like cancer, especially since it's so easy to scam people from the safety of another continent these days. They know they'll never be caught and even if they do, they just bribe the police and go right back to stealing from elderly and disabled people. They have no morals, no conscience.
@@driskan6945 my grandma had 20 kids if she was able to raise them the scammers can get a regular job.my grandma ia from mexico in the time where there was no such thing as hand outs.
You are the bomb. I have learned so much from you. I am a 65 yr old senior and have 7 siblings all older. I share everything with them. Love ALL of your videos.
This was pretty hard to watch, but worth it. I have cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. From my experience, the "you're so amazing/inspirational/special" card is played all too often on people in my situation, myself included. The fact scammers pray on the disabled is sickening, especially since many of us live on fixed incomes. Thanks for making a video on this topic, Jim. I've enjoyed your videos. Keep going!
@@JimBrowning The poor woman sounded so exhausted and confused, it broke my heart. I wanted to take that phone and tear the parasite a new one, then sit that lady down with a cup of tea and gently explain not to answer these types of calls. Thank you for everything you do to help raise awareness and take down the scammers. You're a gem.
I'm 65 and disabled. Got a call yesterday from a scammer who asked about the 'accident' I had. "Have you had an accident?" I replied I had and when they asked what had happened I informed them that I was the passenger in a car and my back had been broken. They hung up. I wonder why.
@@cloud9838 hey don't you dare question my morals ok. I personally went and spoke to the prisoners and I personally sent them to be gassed. I have Morales.
I am 14 years old and was born disabled and I think the is so disgusting to say the least I am to think that these people are praying on such fragile people makes me sick and I just wanna say jim that I am proud of you for trying to stop these awful scammers in there tracks so thank you.
I'm glad that you are so aware of these types of scams. I work with people with disabilities and some of them are so vulnerable to this, especially the older ones since they didn't grow up understanding the technology. But the younger people, like yourself, I see accomplish great things and so aware of these things, it gives me great hope. (btw, since you're still young I mean this just to be educational not in a mean way- it's "preying" for when hunting/taking advantage or prey and "praying" for religious prayer)
@@ppleeatpple Yes It saddens me deeply to see that people in this day and age are treated with such disrespect and especially the older generation that have no technical experience and are vanrauble to such careless behavior.
tbh as someone that has stuff (i reallly dont like to call them disabilities) this honestly hits way differently. like man, this is honestly disGAusTing (sorry) but for real though but for real though its infuriating to see that people would waste their lifves away trying to scam people who are vunrable enough for this to hppen to. (oh sheesh i need to go to english class- or i need some slep, its 4 am right now) BAZINGAAAA (sorry)
You are right, it's so disgusting what these scammers do. It's great that a young person like yourself is already aware of them, so you won't fall for their tricks. All best wishes! :)
I wonder what types of neurolinguistic lies these scammers must tell themselves in order to convince themselves that what they're doing to people is somehow okay? Or maybe they're simply born without a conscience. Great work and thumb's up as always, Jim. ☮️
It's a cultural thing. In India this sort of thing is not seen as badly as it is in the West, most ppl there would blame the victim for being guillable.
My feeling is that these scammer's are in dire straights themselves and exploited by their bosses. I expect they see *very* little of the money they scam while sitting a stinky hot box somewhere in the Punjab. Fuck them for all that and their lack of dignity.
I've not personally heard that sentiment verbalized by any scammers but I don't doubt your word, @@RADALGANG. I've heard it said by people in other countries, though.
Hi Jim, i had this case with a 30 year old mentally disabled man, i cared for. he is fit enough to live in his own flat with 2 other people, but still needs some help in some parts of life, also being very insecure in his persona. and he had this pop up virus warning and call this number trick. he was in such shame and insecurity to tell anyone (you know, how these scammers talk to people), so he wanted to handle it on his own, went to the gas station, bought amanon cards for 250 eu and showed them into the laptop webcam... these scammers really dont give a f*ck how insecure or even mentally disabled people are. And let me tell you, these 250 eu are nearly as much, as this guy has for 1 month for his private spending. ..i am thankful for people like you!! also i plan on giving group seminars in the state i am living in, to make mentally disabled people aware of these type of scams, that this wont happen to them. i cant hack, so this is my part of helpin the people outthere not gettin a victim to this... peace and respect to you from germany, Skeli :)
That's amazing of you to want to spread the knowledge of something this scary happening to the most vulnerable. Thank you for doing this. People like you are what make the world a better place 🧡
@@averagejoe8483 Thnx for your kind words 😊... if i can help people like this, i def. want to try my best. This project is still in the beginning, but i am goin to do this. Make the world a little more safer and people aware of it... All the best n happiness to you, peace, dj skeli
My own mother in an early Alzheimer state was targeted und a had a friend to whom this happened too. Gladly both were calling me for help during the scam and I could avoid the scammers success. One thing we all should bare in mind (including the scammers) : in a certain point of one's lives, we all can become vulnerable...
The percentage of dislikes in videos like this are directly proportional to the percentage of personality disorders in the population. There will always be a few evil people bringing anything good down.
Is there much that BT can actually do? These sorts of calls of scammers pretending to be telecoms companies 'supporting' clients seem to be rife. I mean, if our law enforcement can't actually track them (yet Jim can) - and when they do cannot do much of anything as they're overseas anyway...
Jim usually uses tricks like pretending to be a victim and he may do things such as install a R.A.T software on their machines to gain access to their network (many scambaiters use specialist harder to detect software that isn't easily available and disguise that R.A.T as a legitimate looking software such as notepad or Microsoft Word)
I ordered a BLT sandwich, and it didn’t have any lettuce because of the E. Coli recall. I was mad, so I chopped the waiter’s hand off. MY BT male server was hacked.
Wow!! I’m in shock, how heartless and cruel! I’m currently binge watching all your videos but this was one the biggest lows I’ve watched so far... they take advantage of age... disability... mentality... disgusting. I’m truly disgusted, “I’m so sorry to hear about you being disabled”, poor woman has no idea she is so pure and wholesome. I can’t believe that these Indian scammers will do anything even if it means taking away money from these poor clueless people. She is so desperate for money that she’d be waiting for almost two hours to get at least a pinch of penny from this disabled couple and absolutely gets fed up when she can’t remember her details. Serves her right.
No, never forget that they are humans. These are humans that are willingly taking such actions against other fellow humans, and that makes them much worse than monsters.
My heart stopped when she said "He can't remember these things, his memory is going." She was so frustrated and this piece of shit just wouldn't let up. How Jim listens in without raging is beyond me.
yeah i bet these scam calls have caused some heart attacks either from exhaustion, or the terror when the victim realizes they have been scammed. i know for a fact that some scam victims commit suicide because of it. its heartbreaking
When my Mother got sick and her memory started going she was getting calls and letters from people all the time trying to scam her. Her own sisters, my aunts, took anything they could from her. They used my Mother's love for them to become her power of attorney and the estate executor. I can't do anything. I wish that I had your skills to do something about it. Thank you for what you are doing, from the bottom of my heart.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I knew someone's who own mother did the exaxt same thing to his grandfather. She convinced him to take over as his Power of Attorney once he was deemed mentally incompetent and drained his bank account. My friend was mortified to find out what his own mother did to his grandfather. People can be ruthless.
I hear you. When my mom was on her death bed her sisters tried to get her to sell her burial plot, so they could take the money from her. People are so disappointing.
This scammer is absolutely sickening. How could you possibly scam this elderly woman. The people who do this deserve a reserved spot in the deepest depths of hell.
Jim you're awesome. I'm studying IT, and what you do gives me even more motivation to go ahead and help taking down these scumbags. It's unacceptable that those kind of organisations are still running even with the technology and security measures we have nowadays. I hope everyone shares this because it's ridiculous the amount of people that still fall for these scams, they need to be better informed about online safety. Thank you Jim for your hard work here and please don't stop.
You're like the David Attenborough of scammer documentation - giving commentary on the ruthless behavior of scammers preying on the elderly. I'm glad you're not only documenting this, but helping the victims as well.
This makes me want to vomit. I have both physical disabilities that mean I need 24-hour care and I did have a scammer try to take advantage of me specifically because of that - thankfully I was entirely aware of what he was doing and was stringing them along in the hope it would at least keep them from bugging someone else but it disgusts me that when I reported the person to instagram (as he was sending me DMs lying about who he was and trying to scam money from me) they did nothing - apparently they see nothing wrong with someone pretending to be someone famous and trying to scam money - repeatedly - from fans of that person, taking advantage of their disabilities, lying and saying it's going to a charity for orphaned kids that the celeb is known to support, and which his fans have raised tens of thousands of pounds of money for (as well as tens of thousands more for other charities for helping the victims of human trafficking, guide dogs, Alzheimers etc). It's disgusting.
Facebook is just as uninterested. People openly ripping others off, but nothing is done when reporting these scams. Sadly it's all about the money...they DO NOT care about us in the slightest. Sorry to hear the same thing is happening on other Social media sites. The internet is a fantastic thing...but it needs these huge multibillion pound .com businesses to crack down on theives.
yet at the same time, my instagram account gets deleted for "selling drugs" because of a joke post i made people these days care more about jokes then literal parasites
@@AlbertRei3424 that certainly plays a major role. It’s funny how easy it is for us to justify our actions to avoid that dissonance. There’s a lot that goes into this tho
Watching and listening to this, my heart pounding and thankfully this time the couple were saved by lack of memory on both their parts. Heart back to normal now.
I work as customer service agent for Lloyds and we would never log in to their accounts or ask for personal passwords. If it's a genuine call centre they should have all necessary info. I feel terrible after watching this...
ASMR Valkerie: This vicious, ruthless Indian female scammer needs to be hunted down (along with the rest of them). We genuinely need Bounty Hunter videos linked with Jim’s videos of them victoriously hunted down and put in prison for life, so that Jim’s noble hard work always prevails in protecting the public.
@@thereseember2800 sadly, I live in India and no major action has been taken against these scammers other than the ones who were 'properly' caught red handed through raids etc which are very few. It is really sickening but the people who you call scammers are just normal people desperate for jobs who were lured in by "good pay" from the CEOs of these companies. They search for people who can mimic foreign accents (more like mask their Indian accent somehow) and they are trained for a few months on how to scam
呪Noro: You are WRONG! They are massively and successfully being hunted down as we speak. Europol, Eurojust, the FBI, Interpol, Microsoft, Apple and Google, the UK, America, Australia and Canada have globally banned together and these criminals ARE successfully being put in prison! They even arrested and extradited one Indian national as he was trying to exit Dubai. It’s global that it IS being criminally addressed. Scammers in 26 different Call Centers in New Delhi alone (and nearby) were put in prison. Indian scammers are causing NO ONE globally to ever trust ANYONE with an Indian accent. So it’s crucial to STOP these unconscionable criminals. Jim is a HERO and his hard work to protect the public meets with profound success. Thank God that there are valiant noble heroes just like him in this world, taking these criminals down. A Russian scam ring was also put in prison.
I work at a bank and I would like for everyone to know that when we ask you questions it’s not to get you in trouble, it’s to keep you protected and out of trouble. We don’t think you are doing something wrong we think you are being a victim and that’s why we ask questions. Please be honest with us it will only benefit you. Even if it isn’t in my job description I make it a point to talk to every one of my clients about frauds and different things they should do and to stay safe and the importance of not giving your information to anyone. It’s not fun having someone crying at you desk cuz they just lost their savings and there nothing you can do. And I imagine that it’s 10 time worst being the person that lost their savings.
also "i'm so sorry to hear about you" is not something you EVER want to say to anyone with a disability "oh, i'm so sorry you exist, you poor poor thing"
Right? I’m disabled too and I literally shouted “FUCK YOU” at the screen when she said that. We don’t need your pity, lady. In fact, I pity you! You must be pretty fucked-up to stoop this low.
She probably meant she was sorry to hear about his disability. Not that I think these people have good hearts, she was just trying to earn their trust.
Alejandra Tejeda - but that’s exactly what the OP meant. We hear “I’m sorry to hear about your disability” so much, and even if well-meant, it comes from a place of ignorance and pity. We don’t need that, we just want to be treated like the normal people we are.
I'm totally blind and hate it when people try to pity me. "I'm so sorry that you're blind and you are so amazing for going places on your own." The worst one I ever got was someone asking who let me out? I asked of where? And they said of your group home. My boyfriend and I were like, "We let ourselves out. We live on our own in an apartment building." This Nancy woman is just plain ignorant and cruel! To hang up on her victim like that without even a "Nice talking to you," or "goodbye," what a bitch.
Not related to the video, but related to scams: Today in my English class(~high school) the teacher actually said she had been called by a number not from here(Germany) and they started to talk in English to her, but she didn't hang up there because she thought it could be someone needing help or something, but the caller said they were from Microsoft and her PC would be corrupted by 67%. The caller/scammer wanted her to start her PC, but my teacher knew they just wanted remote access to scam and she knew they were probably from an indian call centre. She also told us to just not pick up the phone if that number(she wrote it on the board) called us. I think its interesting that these scammers even try to scam people who don't speak English as their main language.
They are indiscriminate. It really doesn’t matter who the person is, what language they speak, or how old they are. The way scammers see it, it’s always worth a try to steal from them regardless.
Once got this scam call that claimed to be from the Prosecutors' office (aka "attorney") and told me that some criminal used my bank account for transactions and stuff, mentioning a bank that I don't even use. Her accent of my language was so stereotypically awkward, almost like that Indian English. I would've liked to just play along with and troll her for fun, but too bad I was at work that time so I just hung up.
Sickening. Whenever scammers call me on my phone I waste their time and ruin their mood. Also I love how they throw tantrums when I call them out at the end of the call.
What lousy people these scammers are. Bankrupt, of any emotions, feelings, for the weak, elderly, disabled. Horrible dedicated liars & fraudsters, Government where are you. Good job Jim
Chez John they are just keeping their heads above water, they need these jobs to keep their families alive. Yes I had the call centres these scammers are in but not the scammers themselves, usually the scammers don’t like doing these scams but it’s the only job they could get and the only job keeping them alive.
This makes me sick to watch but I'm kind of glad I did. Really proves that we, the technologically sound, need to educate our grandparents and parents so they don't fall for this in future. Keep doing what you're doing Jim. It's an important fight.
This is one of the most shocking things I saw on the internet. How is it possible to do such a thing. This are horrendous -people- -animals- non-hearted living beings.
I pass your YT channel onto everyone I know to raise awareness (just like yourself) in my eyes,you Jim should have a MUCH larger sub base 👍🏻 You are a LEGEND my friend Keep up this EPIC work 👏👏👏
I am disabled and get calls all the time but I don't answer them. When I have picked up, usually when I am expecting another call, I just curse them and hang up. I don't give out information even to Humana now. I tell them to mail me anything they want me to know or ask. I don't trust anyone anymore. Thank you Jim even for these older videos.

@@AlphaQHard Crime is business and to think it isn't is ignorant look at the structure of organized crime even back at the commission with multiple Italian mob bosses it's like a board of executives a smart business man is also a very capable criminal if he applied himself to it
it's horrible that scammers laugh when they see a disabled person or an elder person, that's how uneducated they are, elder people are full of wisdom, but susceptible for scams, which truly is sad, keep up the good work, you are a legend to the scambait community
I am nearly 70 years old and my memory is slipping away at an disastrous rate. Life has become so scary. Things that were once easy are so difficult, and it is all terribly frightening. I continue to look much younger than my age, and still work, but my lack of recall means my days are numbered. I feel terrible for the people being victimized as I can see myself in their position. Just want you to know that you are my hero. Thank you for what you are doing.

*human being*
Just being, humans have souls.

*dirty vermin
Sub-human would be the proper term.
Cold cold ending. Scammer realises they cannot steal from these victims so hangs up. No goodbye, no attempt to even try to pretend to be polite, the victims are no longer a cash option so just drop them and discard.
Says a lot about the mentality. Of course what they do isn't any more palatable when they pretend to be nice but the way this call ended was a mask removal of sorts.

"I'm sorry to hear that your physically disabled at the moment."
I'm sure he wishes it was only temporary.
Goddamn right
I'm sure the pos scammer hopes so too, just so he can sleep slightly better at night thinking he didn't actually scam someone who is physically handicapped for the rest of their life. It really takes a garbage human being to remorselessly scam people like this

I can to a point deal with folk coming in and out of their homes as most folk live in a single building so we have successfully prosecuted several people scamming folk face to face.

That sickens me.
And honestly, I don't think the Indian government would do anything about it. Even if they wanted too, the crooks within the police department would not let the procedures go further.
If you don't believe me, the cops are in on it.
The reason why they function so well without hiccups is because either the cops are fed more than what they earn OR they run the show.
It's hard for you to believe but trust me, it's much worse than you could ever think it is..
But what really grinds my gears is that they steal from the poor, the weak and the vulnerable.
Man these people don't even have too long, why steal from them?...
It makes me sad and I feel the pain because my brother is autistic and handicapped. It truly hurts.
@@mohammedyasin4031 Serious question here. Do you think the reason the Indian government does nothing is because it's money coming from outside India, and into India? I get the feeling the authorities in India (not all) just don't care and might think "if you can get money from other countries and bring it into India then more power to you." At least I'd imagine that's part of the problem. I guarantee if these scammers were scamming retired Indians within India, they would all be shut down by now.
@@ManUtd503
I haven't lived in India for too long so I can't say for sure.
But from my experience in India, most of the policemen that I came across would do anything for money. And I don't know much honestly.

I know a person who hasn't even attended the state driving test for his license. He just bought it.

How severely has autism affected you
@@fukkitful that's because it depends on the autisme itself. you got hundreds of different ones others are more noticeble, and others aren't. sorry for bad english
Brad Maggard from a UA-cam comment and profile pic? No, of course you wouldn’t.
@@fukkitful maybe because we're normal people just like everyone else?
@@fukkitful We get this a lot. "Oh you don't look autistic..." "You don't act it, I never would have guessed." How does someone "act" a certain disability? You don't "act" blind, you don't "act" like you have depression, and you don't "act" autistic. The thing is, Autism is a *spectrum disorder*, and some people have more severe symptoms than others. I for example am very mild, but it still makes it difficult for me to function sometimes. I still have issues communicating properly because I misread scenarios, or I say more than I should, or I assume friendship and closeness where there's none.
A lot of us have actually learned to camouflage some aspects of our disability - example, I don't "hand-flap", I instead twirl my hair or click a pen. And many of us have learned how to react socially, but that doesn't mean we're always good at it. You randomly make loud noises, I still get flustered. You put me on a time crunch, I still panic. You mess with my workspace and workflow when I had everything in order, I still get annoyed and it still frustrates me, but I'm not going to melt down about it.
Autism isn't a thing that is a certain set of symptoms and then it goes away after childhood. It's a social disability. People like us *cannot* read people well, understand intent, or necessarily communicate the way someone not on the spectrum does. That's why we're at risk for being scammed, taken advantage of, or fooled. We literally cannot pick up on the subtle social cues that someone is lying unless we learn otherwise or are taught what to look for, and it's worse for us often when we're tired. To us, not only is everyone wearing a mask, we ourselves are wearing masks, because if we take the mask off people seem to think there's something wrong with us. There really isn't, we just have brains that work in a very, very different way. It's not that we're broken, we just have something that is a bit of a hurdle for us sometimes in a world that really isn't built for us. And half the time, we might not even know why we're the way we are ourselves.

It's a cultural thing. In India this sort of thing is not seen as badly as it is in the West, most ppl there would blame the victim for being guillable.
My feeling is that these scammer's are in dire straights themselves and exploited by their bosses. I expect they see *very* little of the money they scam while sitting a stinky hot box somewhere in the Punjab. Fuck them for all that and their lack of dignity.
They think we owe it to them so they are just taking what is rightfully theirs.

Hi Jim, i had this case with a 30 year old mentally disabled man, i cared for. he is fit enough to live in his own flat with 2 other people, but still needs some help in some parts of life, also being very insecure in his persona. and he had this pop up virus warning and call this number trick. he was in such shame and insecurity to tell anyone (you know, how these scammers talk to people), so he wanted to handle it on his own, went to the gas station, bought amanon cards for 250 eu and showed them into the laptop webcam... these scammers really dont give a f*ck how insecure or even mentally disabled people are. And let me tell you, these 250 eu are nearly as much, as this guy has for 1 month for his private spending. ..i am thankful for people like you!! also i plan on giving group seminars in the state i am living in, to make mentally disabled people aware of these type of scams, that this wont happen to them. i cant hack, so this is my part of helpin the people outthere not gettin a victim to this... peace and respect to you from germany, Skeli :)

I have both physical disabilities that mean I need 24-hour care and I did have a scammer try to take advantage of me specifically because of that - thankfully I was entirely aware of what he was doing and was stringing them along in the hope it would at least keep them from bugging someone else but it disgusts me that when I reported the person to instagram (as he was sending me DMs lying about who he was and trying to scam money from me) they did nothing - apparently they see nothing wrong with someone pretending to be someone famous and trying to scam money - repeatedly - from fans of that person, taking advantage of their disabilities, lying and saying it's going to a charity for orphaned kids that the celeb is known to support, and which his fans have raised tens of thousands of pounds of money for (as well as tens of thousands more for other charities for helping the victims of human trafficking, guide dogs, Alzheimers etc). It's disgusting.
Facebook is just as uninterested. People openly ripping others off, but nothing is done when reporting these scams. Sadly it's all about the money...they DO NOT care about us in the slightest. Sorry to hear the same thing is happening on other Social media sites. The internet is a fantastic thing...but it needs these huge multibillion pound .com businesses to crack down on theives.

Wish you are doing good :)
yet at the same time, my instagram account gets deleted for "selling drugs" because of a joke post i made
people these days care more about jokes then literal parasites
You’re one of the few good ones on this earth, bro.
Absolutely soulless!! How do these creatures sleep at night,or even just look themselves in the mirror!?
I agree with you 100%.
humans make cognitive dissonance not to see or think about their bad actions,most humans do it,what differs between them is the level of dissonance
@@AlbertRei3424 that certainly plays a major role. It’s funny how easy it is for us to justify our actions to avoid that dissonance. There’s a lot that goes into this tho
@@Rosecain27 Yes,it always frightens me when I see it at ,on a society scale it can lead to approval of genocide for example
Another Great Video Jim
@SkeletonSyskey , If possible call this scammer -- Deserves a call from EVERY UK Baiter. Thanks!☺
great vid, but also sad..
Oh cool, two scambaiters on the same channel!
Watching and listening to this, my heart pounding and thankfully this time the couple were saved by lack of memory on both their parts. Heart back to normal now.
"dont worry ill just clear everything out of your account"
Shit bruh that’s all I need to hear. Here’s my bank info
I work as customer service agent for Lloyds and we would never log in to their accounts or ask for personal passwords. If it's a genuine call centre they should have all necessary info. I feel terrible after watching this...
ASMR Valkerie: This vicious, ruthless Indian female scammer needs to be hunted down (along with the rest of them). We genuinely need Bounty Hunter videos linked with Jim’s videos of them victoriously hunted down and put in prison for life, so that Jim’s noble hard work always prevails in protecting the public.
@@thereseember2800 sadly, I live in India and no major action has been taken against these scammers other than the ones who were 'properly' caught red handed through raids etc which are very few.
It is really sickening but the people who you call scammers are just normal people desperate for jobs who were lured in by "good pay" from the CEOs of these companies.
They search for people who can mimic foreign accents (more like mask their Indian accent somehow) and they are trained for a few months on how to scam
呪Noro: You are WRONG! They are massively and successfully being hunted down as we speak. Europol, Eurojust, the FBI, Interpol, Microsoft, Apple and Google, the UK, America, Australia and Canada have globally banned together and these criminals ARE successfully being put in prison! They even arrested and extradited one Indian national as he was trying to exit Dubai. It’s global that it IS being criminally addressed. Scammers in 26 different Call Centers in New Delhi alone (and nearby) were put in prison. Indian scammers are causing NO ONE globally to ever trust ANYONE with an Indian accent. So it’s crucial to STOP these unconscionable criminals.
Jim is a HERO and his hard work to protect the public meets with profound success. Thank God that there are valiant noble heroes just like him in this world, taking these criminals down.
A Russian scam ring was also put in prison.
No shit
@@asit6947 These are tax paying companies employing these thieves?
I work at a bank and I would like for everyone to know that when we ask you questions it’s not to get you in trouble, it’s to keep you protected and out of trouble. We don’t think you are doing something wrong we think you are being a victim and that’s why we ask questions. Please be honest with us it will only benefit you. Even if it isn’t in my job description I make it a point to talk to every one of my clients about frauds and different things they should do and to stay safe and the importance of not giving your information to anyone. It’s not fun having someone crying at you desk cuz they just lost their savings and there nothing you can do. And I imagine that it’s 10 time worst being the person that lost their savings.
They did this to my grandparents. Thank you for what you do.
I hate these scammers so much, They have no mercy even for the ones in need
I'm so glad you report these scumbag scammers to the police. You're doing great things for this world.
also "i'm so sorry to hear about you" is not something you EVER want to say to anyone with a disability
"oh, i'm so sorry you exist, you poor poor thing"
She is a goddamn bitch
Right? I’m disabled too and I literally shouted “FUCK YOU” at the screen when she said that. We don’t need your pity, lady. In fact, I pity you! You must be pretty fucked-up to stoop this low.
She probably meant she was sorry to hear about his disability. Not that I think these people have good hearts, she was just trying to earn their trust.
Alejandra Tejeda - but that’s exactly what the OP meant. We hear “I’m sorry to hear about your disability” so much, and even if well-meant, it comes from a place of ignorance and pity. We don’t need that, we just want to be treated like the normal people we are.
I'm totally blind and hate it when people try to pity me. "I'm so sorry that you're blind and you are so amazing for going places on your own." The worst one I ever got was someone asking who let me out? I asked of where? And they said of your group home. My boyfriend and I were like, "We let ourselves out. We live on our own in an apartment building." This Nancy woman is just plain ignorant and cruel! To hang up on her victim like that without even a "Nice talking to you," or "goodbye," what a bitch.
Not related to the video, but related to scams:
Today in my English class(~high school) the teacher actually said she had been called by a number not from here(Germany) and they started to talk in English to her, but she didn't hang up there because she thought it could be someone needing help or something, but the caller said they were from Microsoft and her PC would be corrupted by 67%.
The caller/scammer wanted her to start her PC, but my teacher knew they just wanted remote access to scam and she knew they were probably from an indian call centre. She also told us to just not pick up the phone if that number(she wrote it on the board) called us.
I think its interesting that these scammers even try to scam people who don't speak English as their main language.
Same thing happened in Austria. Those guys called a refugee camp and told them to start their non-existent windows PC LOL
They are indiscriminate. It really doesn’t matter who the person is, what language they speak, or how old they are. The way scammers see it, it’s always worth a try to steal from them regardless.
Same here (also Austria), my mother received several calls from „Microsoft“. We have a Mac....
wtf not from germany, wtf
Once got this scam call that claimed to be from the Prosecutors' office (aka "attorney") and told me that some criminal used my bank account for transactions and stuff, mentioning a bank that I don't even use. Her accent of my language was so stereotypically awkward, almost like that Indian English.
I would've liked to just play along with and troll her for fun, but too bad I was at work that time so I just hung up.
Thank you for your amazing work Jim. You are respected by millions of people all over the world ❤❤❤

Sickening.
Whenever scammers call me on my phone I waste their time and ruin their mood.
Also I love how they throw tantrums when I call them out at the end of the call.
Same I love to mess around with these people
Never tell online Mr. Jim how you get access into the scummers pc, hide it for yourself even if you have a better alternative method in the future.
These scammers live such sad and disappointing lives. They are so desperate to make money off of people their morality is all fucked up.
I wish I had skills like you so I can join in on helping people. And shut these scammers down
take a course on ethical hacking.
Being a white hat
I would've never imagined I could name a time in which loss of memory is beneficial...
At 11.57,I you can hear another scammer shouting “go to your iPad “...sounds like another vulnerable victim on the line.
Discussing behaviour from that despicable women. The worst scammer I have ever heard 😢
What lousy people these scammers are. Bankrupt, of any emotions, feelings, for the weak, elderly, disabled. Horrible dedicated liars & fraudsters, Government where are you. Good job Jim
Chez John they are just keeping their heads above water, they need these jobs to keep their families alive. Yes I had the call centres these scammers are in but not the scammers themselves, usually the scammers don’t like doing these scams but it’s the only job they could get and the only job keeping them alive.
This makes me sick to watch but I'm kind of glad I did. Really proves that we, the technologically sound, need to educate our grandparents and parents so they don't fall for this in future.
Keep doing what you're doing Jim. It's an important fight.
This is one of the most shocking things I saw on the internet. How is it possible to do such a thing.
This are horrendous -people- -animals- non-hearted living beings.
These people make me utterly SICK to my stomach.
I pass your YT channel onto everyone I know to raise awareness (just like yourself) in my eyes,you Jim should have a MUCH larger sub base 👍🏻
You are a LEGEND my friend
Keep up this EPIC work 👏👏👏
Just when i thought scammers couldn’t get any lower but then again they have no morals or empathy
These evil scammers make me so angry. I just want to hurt them for taking advantage of the defenseless and vulnerable.
Chill man, welcome in 2019
I am disabled and get calls all the time but I don't answer them. When I have picked up, usually when I am expecting another call, I just curse them and hang up. I don't give out information even to Humana now. I tell them to mail me anything they want me to know or ask. I don't trust anyone anymore. Thank you Jim even for these older videos.
it is so painful, am 32 year old man. and made me cry. i wish i got job to support you on patreon!

Its not a business, it’s a crime.
@@AlphaQHard Crime is business and to think it isn't is ignorant look at the structure of organized crime even back at the commission with multiple Italian mob bosses it's like a board of executives a smart business man is also a very capable criminal if he applied himself to it
it's horrible that scammers laugh when they see a disabled person or an elder person, that's how uneducated they are, elder people are full of wisdom, but susceptible for scams, which truly is sad, keep up the good work, you are a legend to the scambait community
