- Millions of people fall victim to scams every year.
Many are run from criminal call centres, where teams of fraudsters operate around the clock.
An online vigilante, who goes by the name "Jim Browning", decided to do something about it. He hacked into a call centre in India where scammers target victims around the world.
Jim gained access to recorded scam phone calls as well as CCTV footage exposing the scammers at work.
What Jim did was illegal - but he says he wants to stop the fraudsters, and he passed his footage on to BBC Panorama.

You mean Jim's investigation.
"After BBC Investigation" Lmao. More like after Jim's investigation.
You mean the vigalante? Jim Browning?
Jim, you legend.
That's great but why on earth I do not see Jim's name mentioned even ONCE? All this happened thanks to him...
Interpol should hire Jim Browning and give him a unit to fight this epidemic. this man is a global treasure.
Well said, my man. Jim is a god send to all of us. We need more people like him and a way to put their expertise to good and lawful use.
Mina issue to that would be that he would have to do it under their terms, so much of what he does wouldn't be allowed. Hes probably better of continuing like this without government restrictions. :D
88Worron88 , no he could do the same as a mercenary of sorts. Since they committing the crime are not US citizens, they do not have the rights to privacy that a US citizen has, therefore since they already committed the crime from a third world country they are voided of all privacy. Even simpler they are voided of that privacy when they connect with Jim’s computer.
@Joaquín Cerutti No, it's not like SWAT, Interpol is more of an intelligentsia. They work alongside (not police officers) but with the police force. If a criminal travels to another country interpol suspects some sort of deal or crime is being planned, they will work with the police force of said country, share the information they have of the suspect and attempt to apprehend the suspect. They also give tips on intelligence gathered of potential suspects for the local police to investigate. This is perfect for Jim. Cos all he does is gather information, compile the data and study their SOP's. Without the help of the BBC, Jim alone couldn't have got this to have so much attention, the police in India had to seize the illegal business. And working for interpol, Jim can do all the hacking he needs to pick these bastards 1 by 1, especially with a budget backing him.
If you had watched Jim's videos, you can see what 1 man alone in his home and his computer can do to these guys, imagine if there was a dedicated team from the cybercrime division led by Jim.
Official naive people. You know that if you join a certain task force or group that youll also have to follow certain guidelines,sop, rules right? This means jim cant do what he does with the freedom he has right now. Itll be hqrder for him to work and debunk people if given such restrictive policies and rules to follow due to joining the said govt task froce. I have a dream that people will analyze before just spewing crap
He is our silent protector. A vigilante. A dark Knight.
And his name..Is Jim.

Kishnabe cant forget Kitboga and Scammerrevolts
@@REXae86 Kitboga wastes their time, Jim Browning calls them out and destroy their business.
Not badmouthing Kitboga, but i prefer Jim's way, it is more "destructive" to scammers than Kitboga.
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz Not just calling them out, but gathering info and contacting authorities, as well as any victims that he manages to get a hold of. Kitboga is fun to watch, but as less productive I would say
@@gnomeam Yes, but from what i have heard until now, the Indian government seems to be doing little to nothing about this sadly.
Maybe it is time to threated India with cutting them off of the internet, if they don't put an end or atleast show some action with regard to this problem.
Either that or maybe Jim should team up with the US military. When he finds a scammer headquarter, they send in the Reaper drones and blow up the scammer headquarters.
Have said the same with the Nigerian pirates....Every time they find pirates in skiffs, trying to attack ships, just sink the fuckers and film it and make sure that everyone in Nigeria knows that there is a big risk of being shot or your ship being sunk a long way from land, essentially making you shark food.
If the risk is there, the will to try these things will probably go away ;)
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz Sadly, no international organisation is going to enforce sanctions against ány country based on small change scams.
I know 100K or even a million sounds like a lot, but to any organisation that is cápable of cutting an entire country off from internet access, that's just pocket change they couldn't even be bothered to pick up if it fell out their pockets.
Your other ideas are even more proposterous.
I’m sure the local Indian police/authorities have a nice cut in this business. No way this can be going on unnoticed.
Indian police are life-term employment. Once they join the force it does not matter what becomes of them, some are unfit medically, technically. The whole force runs on the reservation, connection, greasing. Of course, the looted Pie will be shared with everyone.
Cybercrime technology is paleontology.
@@deanvanluven6813 Didn't Trilogy Media share that in one of their videos from an ex-scammer who was beaten by their boss because he threatened to report them to the police? If I recall, the scam bosses do pay the police off to leave them alone. Even one scammer was pushed out off the 6th floor of that same office and died. If I recall, ruled as an accident by police because...paid to lie.
Its really sad
You can escape almost any law if you have money and political support
That's a billion dollars business. I will not be amazed if indian government officially open up Ministry for this successful business.
I am indian an i can confirm that!
They don’t have customers, they have victims.
Agreed.
yeah what gives them the right to even call these poor people their customers
Exactly.. i was like .. what customer do you mean .? Lol
And probably pay bribes when detected by law enforcement.
@@rexcowan9209 no they are too lazy to even bother hunting down them. Most bribes here taken by traffic police they take bribe instead of tickets.

They’re not customers, they’re victims

God the scene where they're all crowding around the phone laughing about the depressed man crying is nauseating.
straight outta wolf of the wall street
Karma will get them 1 by 1 🙏🏻
My jaw dropped a bit at that moment. But then I realised that BBC could've also shown a clip that's not matched with the right sound frame to put more drama. Could be that they are actually sharing a joke at that moment of the video clip without any callers. But could be that they are just THAT evil too, idk... I hope they aren't...
That was also a scene from "Mumbai Calling" (UK TV Series), where a caller was describing a medical episode over the phone, "Yes, we value your privacy, In fact i am adjusting those privacy settings as we speak !" with headset on the operator beckons to others in the room, and puts it on speaker, and they are all laughing in the background.
@@khinlop You know, that's a good point. I'll hold out hope until I've seen the rest of Jim's vids on this.
Description: "What Jim does is illegal"
but he protects people. What do you think the police do, they don't exactly follow the speed limit to catch a criminal.
Hold on, hes got a point
I personally never felt protected around the police. Bad history of witnessing their brutality and hearing them sounding proud about it when I was a child, 3 cops getting to beat on my unarmed injured father who didn't resist. They were real happy they got to use their equipment.
@@SavageGamerCA anyone at this point who think blue lives matter, or that "police are good" are people with white privilege and republicans. acab my guy, the system has been corrupt since the start
@@luv_4miI'm gonna assume you're trolling, because quite frankly anyone who believes in the ACAB movement is naive and uneducated, have a think for 1 second, just 1. What would happen if there was no law, no police? You think countless people won't be raped? Countless people won't be robbed? Countless people won't be murdered? You're agreeing to mass rape, mass murder, mass kidnapping, mass robberies, mass beatings, you're a monster. Unless you're actually smart and were joking about it, in that case I'm the dumbass. If SavageGamerCA is telling the truth, and he saw it with his own two eyes that his father didn't resist, then that's not ok and fucked up. But what crime did his father even commit in the first place, they never tell that story

So it's difficult to find them.
Secondly the police are influenced by

Jim even phnoed the police. They didnt do jackshit.
Whitout the extra mile and extra attention from a big news outlet, those scammes would scamm away happily until the end of days.
Indian police is something you can throw into the gutter. Its useless. They cant figure out shit.
Jim and scammer payback are phenomenal. I also like trilogy media. They’re doing a great public service!

When somebody suffers these Indians (As far as I can tell. Only Indians acted unusual like this so far) yeah be it sad, crying, depression..... they all find it funny and they laugh at these things. I don't know what and why but they are being like this. So many of them.
I don't know what to say about it. Is that how everyone is? Such questions keep coming to me. I still wonder what makes people happy seeing someone else suffer.

Jim: literally accesses all their information from his computer at home.
i mean u do know the police over there dont sit on pcs all day lol they barely know anything about windows so no shit jim is gunna be able to do all that because he learnt it. what they need to do is start funding people to take down scammers globally in general.

not to mention he constantly contact the indian police, gives them all the evidence and info them need, basically hands them solved cases and a promotion, yet they never do anything about it. which makes me think there may be some serious corruption at play, especially if some people like Amit make so much money from it. and the issue might be so virulent that they don't bother going after the small ones.

God bless jim, he's like a hacker boss, basically a spiderman. No one knows his real identity, he saves the world, and defeats evil people. The real cops don't like him.
I'm subscribed!! He's incredible!!
What about Kitboga or Pleasant Green, They are doing just as much as Jim has done.
It sucks when they laughed at that guy suffered from depression they didn’t know depression destroys people and they made a man with depression cried over fake charge to fix computer. They are evil.
That's exactly the kind of people they are looking for. If pressing a button to get 100$ but it kills someone randomly in the world they would make an autoclicker bot
That how india work
Laugh in office cry in prison later
Some good news though, a very kind viewer of Jim Browning donated the full amount that gentleman lost. Rory is a legend.
Common characteristic of criminals: they are evil. And they have no empathy for the people they rob. When they call me and try their scams I always just ask: How would your mother feel about what you are doing there? That usually shuts them up quick smart.
I hate how they are all laughing at the man with depression
Edit: Hey look mom I’m famous
they just want money, i felt bad for the man tho :(
It's India, the land of scammers
They were lying
I think it's a joke
the man got his money paid back by a GENT of a fella called Rory. It was real

Law is bit different here, only the court can take suo moto action not the police.
And it's a international racket controlled by the master minds from USA and Mexico. They use those call center from India, Bangladesh, Nepal and some African countries, without having proactive kinds of law.
How do you think they get all those information about you?? I used to know a man who worked for a scam call support. They had not been told about those things when they are being recruited. They used to get 3-4 month salary after their joining without any work, and then asked to do this kind of things or leave the job. They get the details of their targets from their handler, and get the salary after completing a fixed number of target.
He left the job after getting another job at a reputed software development company. After 2-3 month of his departure from the company, the company had been sealed off by Kolkata Police and more than 60 people had been arrested. They had bank account across USA, UK, AUSTRALIA, GERMANY, SWEDEN and many more country with all most $90 million.

Im pretty sure, as the crime over there is overlooked, even if the police in the UK knew who Jim was and where he was, they would probably let him continue. Whose to say they don't know already, but he only targets criminals. Fight fire with fire. The law is meant to protect people, and thats exactly what Jim is doing.
"It is very difficult to find who is accused"... I don't know man, Jim seems to find them easily
lol
I think it has something to do with the international laws and jurisdiction issues. Saw this in one of the interviews about this topic, as in the Indian police cannot take action against these guys if no official complaint is registered. And a complaint from foreign land should come thru interpol or some similar agency.
It's the similar case where a lot of high-profile criminals from India get refuge in London, and Indian police has to go thru international agencies to reach them, as the local police refuse to recognise them as criminals.
I’ll never trust someone with an indian accent after this
Then be should probably hack into the military drone and send it there
Difficult when the Indian government profits from these scams, it's a large part of their budget
Why do they pick english sounding names like “Russel Peters” when they obviously have thick Indian accents. 😂
As an Indian myself.. that thing boggles me too 😂
That's when you tell them your name is habib amet with a southern accent
Ashamed of their names
@@shsa3074 may be they would be converted by missionaries doing the same thing like they doing scamming and changing ppl faith all over the World 🤣🤣🤣🤣 they kept those name
Its quite simple: the scammers feel that if they were use an Indian sounding name, their targets would be less likely to accept their call.

@@valorzinski7423 Focusing on generalizations like that to justify actions like these is how atrocities like the ones you mentioned are continuously perpetuated.

You think they're all in jail? They are all out and "working". Police in India is not the police in USA or UK. Not only that they don't have evidence but also the scam centre owners are paying to them to not bother the workers and the centres. Problem is, the scammers think that every American is living a great life with their money and savings. That many organizations and hospitals are aiding the old people and the old people are not spending the money, they are saving them instead. Nothing wrong. Their money, their decision. If the pension or earnings of the American citizen is around $2000 for month, in India the same ones are $20 for month. That's their set up thinking. That the Americans are rich while they are poor. Perhaps it was like that 20 years ago, but not anymore. Now most Americans don't have anything and the system is bad but scammers keep thinking its the opposite. For them if you're on American soil you have big amounts of money and savings. Its screwed up but that's how they see it.
Police in India is corrupt
Indian police only takes bribe from them and then they're free.
Jim is not a "vigilante," he is a citizen, neighbor, friend, and hero. Law enforcement the world over has ZERO legal duty to any individual. Rather, just an ambiguous legal duty towards the general public. So, people need to be able to protect themselves and each other. There needs to be a movement to legalize such actions, not criminalize it as "vigilantism."
You're right. The law is broken when it comes to the individual. We're seeing that in effect in America at present.
The problem with vigilantes is that they often can't help themselves to start becoming the judge, jury, and the executioner. What Jim should do is start doing this legally instead, so that we can be sure it's still fair.

John Doe I’d be satisfied with them behind the bars (as they say) in some really crappy, unsanitary, overcrowded prison where they had nothing but a concrete floor to sleep on.
They were trying to brush off the guilt in scamming the guy. They have the mentality of "They're rich and I'm poor so it's ok to scam them". Same kind of mentality on why terrorists target foreigners because they think they're loaded with money and not giving enough to them.
I love how these guys have American names like Robert, Michael, John, etc. But they have Indian accents thicker than raita.
They are just Christian names... nothing to do with America 😂
Exactly. That's a give away in its self.
Because the average American/Brit hears the names and accent and thinks it's some wealthy European royalty talking to them.
@Supreme Builds Nah not really. Many people with European names. Even Hindus have names like Michael, Tom, Vick, etc. And it's not really true that Indians are seen as untrustworthy. For the most part, they have a positive image. Even the stereotype is of a goofy harmless nerd, not a con artist or white collar criminal.
