The Disney+ Scammers

- VSupport LLC or Clohub run multiple scams including pretending to be support for Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Office and printer support. Their whole operation is laid bare in this video.
** Because I'm asked so many times why I blur their faces, this is the reason:
UA-cam. UA-cam is the reason. If I show their faces or names, this channel is automatically flagged as "bullying/harassing" the scammers. Yes, scammers have the right not to be bullied by me showing their faces. If this sounds absurd, please raise this with UA-cam who have already threatened my channel with closure if I expose their details again. If you want to see their faces, here is a link to their details - Outside UA-cam: scammer.info/t/vsupport-clohu... **
They go by the names of CompTrue, GeeksOfSilicon, CompLoft, ITAssists and a few other names. No doubt, they will change again once this video goes live. Most of their websites and Facebook pages are still live, so there's probably a short lifespan for the following links:
Their business website: [Now replaced with a scam popup]

You’re huge inspiration for all of us and you makes a big difference in the world!Much love to you big brother!👏😎
You are both amazing and also scammers nightmare !! Love you both
Jim is living cloud-cuckoo-land for believing his intervention to stop a scam is protecting so called vulnerable ones of our society, they clearly don’t understand Jim’s intervention, These people should be left to their own devices to allow the social Darwinism take its course and then only we will prevail with survival of the fittest.
looOol
Jim lives in scammers head rent free, they DO NOT LIKE Jim Browning at all, lol that means Jim is really doing a good job 👍 Thank God for Jim and all scambaiters for fighting the fight ❤️
@@MrUssy101 I remember you, nice baits man. But don't you get bored?
Can we take a moment to appreciate Jim absolutely GOING OFF on a scammer on behalf of a 86 year old he just met. Legend.
I’ve never seen Jim get so hostile with the scammers. TALK ABOUT THE TWO PERCENT. Well deserved
I have been binging his videos from the start to the most recent. He has become a better interrogator and negotiator, nicer to the victims and terrifying to the scammers
@@ColorlessGuitaristRight?! That's what thought, too! *He went OFF* & _that guy SO HAD IT COMING!!_ It was *ABSOLUTELY EPIC* & I ♥️🥰♥️ every bit of it!😂👏😂
Keep it up, Jim! 🥊🥊Get 'em!!!🥊🥊
Plz reply me privately i have better way to find those type of scammera nd i know how to find them i m just like an tracker plz listen to me once i wanna help u to expose as much as we can i love ur work o really appreciate it

I feel so bad for laughing, but when the scammer had done "firewall damaged..... 2%" in the command prompt, I just imagined a firewall that works like Star Trek shields.
Just redirect power from the CPU to the firewall
I don’t think I can give it much more captain! I’m giving her all she’s got!
Every time it drops a packet it takes damage
@@AKN100 "Scotty you're fired"
Reroute power through the deflector dish and modulate firewall frequencies.
i'm amazed how long the scammer tries to explain themselves rather than just hanging up on the caller.
Wouldn’t they want to hang up the call when they realise they can’t scam
@@v3-schneider560 not if they think they can bring the scam back
I often wonder how much the actual workers know. Now obviously some of the more malicious scams where they’re actively editing html code and tricking people to get gift cards, those people are clearly aware and criminally inclined. But these tech support ones where they’re charging for fake software installation and fake software scanning it’s possible the day to day phone folks don’t realize it’s all smoke and mirrors because they are actually doing SOMETHING. I have no idea what any of this stuff Jim explains in this video means so if I started working there at that scam center and the boss told me to run x and install y when you see xyz and charge x amount of dollars I’d probably just shrug and go “if you say so” thinking I’m just doing a tech job.
It is scary how untruthful the scammer is. Even when he is confronted by somebody with knowledge he takes around and doesn't give in. Somebody without knowledge has no chance.
thats what they are trained for sadly. 🥺
He's incredibly patient. I would lose my mind arguing with someone with a shaky grasp of English defaulting to a script.
It is useless to argue with a fool(scammer). Talk with the wise(Jim browning) and become wiser.
Walk away from fools(scammer) by blocking them, ignoring them, and making friends with the wise(Jim Browning) by calling them for help.
That elderly man sounded confused and the fact that these scammers took atleast $1,100 from him is straight up wrong and heartbreaking
Not only that but the elderly man sounded English, so 1,100 dollars sounded more like 1,100 pounds. Even worse

My dad got scammed once for a couple grand so this sort of justice is close to my heart. Keep it up Jim! The more you bother them the less time they have to scam vulnerable people.
The part when Jim was being super stern and calling that idiot out for scamming his "grandfather" gave me the same vibes as when the super nice and friendly teacher expresses their disappointment in how everyone acted and you just feel a mix of sad/nervous 😔 Great job Jim!

My Dad is 89 and an avid computer user. I constantly worry about these scammers but he assures me he’s “onto the bastards”. Great work Jim.

" onto the bastards " good choice of words 🤣 👍
I’m sure if Disney found out, they’d destroy the scammers in a heart beat.
Unfortunately, the sad reality of the world is that the reason scam centers exist in India is that the government refuses to take meaningful action against them. They'll make show arrests but the bosses pay their incredibly cheap bail and are back opening new companies a month later.
Disney is too woke to go after these scumbags all in the name of racism and diversity, the only victims are the poor people who fall for these scams.
Good on you Jim and keep up the brilliant work you do. Regards from Australia 🇦🇺
My 64 year old mom got scammed the other day trying to pay her AT&T bill and she accidentally went to a site that just claimed to connect to her account, but actually just stole $250 from her and tried to get more, but the bank blocked it. I sent her some of your basic videos on avoiding scams and she said you make it so easy for her to understand what to look out for despite her not being very computer literate. So thank you, Jim. Because of you my mom now knows what to look out for and she's much more cautious.
And this is why I insist on paper bills and use the information on that to pay. That way I cannot get scammed unless they are stupid enough to send paper bills :)
Did the bank manage to get that $250 back for her?
@@HonestLettuce nope. They reimbursed her that money and 'investigate' the source of the scammer, most likely shutting down their transaction channels which is but a hindrance to their menace.
@@HungPham-qq6me If only there was a TeamAnti-Scam movement. hit these f**kers where it hurts.
@@kookymonsta6566 they would have to pay for paper bill printing and rest there are more hassles so they will never do paper bill scam 😊
It is so deeply wrong that web advertising services allow scammers to buy ad space for pop-ups, etc. They need to be held accountable for what gets shown as ads on web sites
Love how they act like it's not their problem. Same with AT&T and the rest letting them to continue using the lines.
Yep, there are scam official ads on both UA-cam and Google. Like they're so good at blocking particular text in comments but can't detect blatantly obvious scam ads
There is a whole ecosystem for this. When you call one of the phone numbers, it gets directed to a random customer scam center, who pays for it.
Buying a knife and robe one. Knife maker should be accountable for selling it to me?
@@ismailcotton913 No. But, sell a knife to a someone who has clear intentions of doing ill with it and you become responsible for aiding in a crime.
Trying to have a conversation with these people is like talking to a wall. They make no sense, talk in circles, lie. They can't even lie correctly! I'm assuming it's a language barrier issue, but it's still hilarious.
It’s not a language issue. They lie. They are evil. They talk in circles to try and lie their way out of responsibility. They understand they are lying. They are useless garbage fit for burn pit.
@redlandz1977 Right. What I meant by the language barrier is that we say something, and then they come back with some lie that makes no sense. Like they didn't understand what we said, so they can't match the response with whatever lie they have in their repetuar.
especially the indian ones
I don't know why they don't hang up...like what's the point
👏 This is one of the best Jim videos I have seen. I always want him to be angrier than he is. I love the combination of calmness and controlled anger. Such a shame these evil scammers need to be blurred.
I agree with you 💯%.
Jim being angry was terrifying and the most satisfying thing I've seen.
Keep up the great work!
Almost sounded like he was going to say -“ i will look for you , i will find you, and i will kill you ..”
@@RAKITHA9
That's the calm one. But with "literally, I'll kill you".
Jim was like, "Jesus, stop it guys. What is wrong with your morale? Do you guys feel better when people suffering because of you?"
@@RAKITHA9 and he could! 👀
It must really get to him speaking to the victims all the time. I think scammers should get at least 10 years in jail.
@@Le_Trouvere Your being kind with just 10 yrs.
You can tell he genuinely cares about the victims by his interactions with the scammers. I'm still waiting for the day when his Marvel-style origin story comes out of how his grandfather fell victim to a tech scam and ever since then, he's vowed to dismantle every scam operation. Haha

I’m assuming these jerk offs never refunded Jack his $1100?! ☹️☹️ I despise scammers such as these and adore elderly hard working people such as Jack. God bless him ❤️
Most scammers wont return the money at all
I have zero respect for anyone that scams and takes advantage of the elderly.
My grandfather once received a call from a scammer, saying that his grandson just died in a car accident and they needed money for the funeral. This sounds ridiculous to many, as this is never how funerals and contacting family about passed loved ones, but for someone with dementia, it pulls on their emotions and literally messes them up. The scammers said my name to him, mentioned my parents, and my wife, and said just enough to make it sound real.
He thankfully didn't give any money, as he was no longer at the state of mind to handle his finances, and his daughter was the power of attorney taking care of it all, but it still messed up my grandfather for a good while. called my phone, thinking he was calling my brother, and when I said it was me, he kept saying that no, he's dead, I was told he's dead, and I had to do everything to try and calm him down and reassure him that I am myself, and I am not dead. Had to leave work early just to see him in person.
I’m so sorry you went through this, God will punish these people!!!
I'm sorry that happened to him....
Holyshiet
Wow… that’s _awful_ ! That’s the most despicable scam I’ve heard of to date
Sorry your family had to endure that. As a caregiver, I have no sympathy for people who do such things.
Hearing Jim get so impatient/angry was honestly scary and satisfying.
I felt like I was the one being scolded 😅
Get em Jim.
dude i thought the same thing i never heard him get this frustrated before
Don't get Jim angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry...
You go Jim
Jim: You have scammed my grandfather.
Scammer: No sir, we installed a firewall.
Jim: "I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking to scam I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you refund my grandfather now that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you, but if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you and I will kill you."
the calmest people are the scariest when they're angry and jim is no exception..
I got scammed by someone similar for the firewall thing. 18 years and freshman in college took so much of my financial aid. So frustrating.
You also got scammed by going to an indoctrination center called college
Indians for you. Hindoos 🐒
I hope the people I paid $300 to fix my Hallmark channel weren’t scammers…

You are always getting scammed yet you run an anti scamming channel.... when will you learn?
@@Vincent-fv1ch Green's post needs a giant /s, doesn't it...
My grandfather was scammed last year. He only lost $100 from a playstation giftcard. I was at work and I was able to IMMEDIATELY recognize, approach, and deny the scammer's further actions because of people like you Jim and Kitboga. Thank you so much for what you do. We could have lost everything. Much love.
You don't need Jim or Kitboga for that. You just need to open your ears and here the accent!
@@lemonacidrounds7293 fairly racist assumption. I work for a bank and we have oversea support in India. I also talk with a lot of legitimate businesses who outsource to India
@@vulpixluver agreed
@@lemonacidrounds7293 Ironic, a comment saying "Every Indian person calling you is a scammer" apparently cannot spell "hear"
Any good companies won’t outsource their call center to India just to save a buck.
These people (typically elderly, vulnerable citizens) are victims, NOT customers. Calling them customers implies they are getting a service in return for their money. Referring to their victims as "customers" is just another way these scam companies attempt to humanize their crimes and mould their worker's subconscious into believing they aren't doing anything wrong.
I love how professional Jim Browning is without necessarily being extremely insulting about their accent, name-calling, or cursing (even though I know these scammers, damn well deserve it). New sub!!!!
I am a senior citizen and consider myself reasonably tech savvy. However, I ALWAYS contact my son, who is much more tech savvy than me, if I am unsure about anything, just to be on the safe side! Thank you Jim for fighting these b*stards on our behalf. ❤️
Take care
You don't need to censor out bastards lol they are what they are and they deserve to be called out in the open.
Good on ya! Have a great day Sir!
based
This world is evolving at a ridiculous pace.
Jim: "You are lying! You are based in India!"
Scammer: "So how can I trust that you're based in UK?"
We've got a witty one over here.
Its like saying to a politician “you would be a terrible president” and his answer is “how can I know you will be a good president?” Clearly unrelated stuff, we are talking about the scammer, not the client, lol
Sharpest wit in kindergarten.
this was honestly my favorite part from the scammer XDDD
reminded me of that Key and Peele skit where hes like "shoot me ill deflect the bullets. Deflected....." lool
The firewall fluid was almost empty.
Dude… this just happened to my 74 year old grandma last Christmas… they took $4,000 from her, and hers and my family’s situation is always bad… she just got into a car accident a month and a half ago, shattered her ankle… and if that wasn’t bad enough, most my family is in poverty and most of them live with her or depend on her for something. And so last Christmas, kids were taken from my parents and that was gonna be their first real Christmas with my grandma and that didn’t get to happen, my husband and I actually ended up being in a very good spot where we ended up getting everyone something. They all live in California, My husband and I, live clear across the United States, so we can’t even visit. I told my grandma what to do and honestly, no one else tried helping her. Her own brother said, “Oh well, let her learn her lesson.” And he’s actually very good with technology and has his own business. It’s sad the way everyone there treats her. I did tell her to come live with me but she won’t leave because apparently they all “need” her. (On another note tho, I love how you stood up for this elderly man and told them scammers off. This is great. Shows us what we can and should do. Thank you.) 💜💜💜
These scammers........ They deserve hello
Obviously the o in the last is there so yt doesn't delete my comment
Just yesterday an older lady came into my work complaining about some money she had to send Amazon. After a couple questions, I could tell it was the classic refund scam. I told her to call her bank and verify what the people on the phone were telling her. It was easy for me to spot this as an obvious scam because of you and channels like yours. Another scam stopped because of you Jim. Thanks for all you do.
Did the older lady get her money?
Thank you for speaking up and helping her
@@drox3992 I think she never send the money, she was double checking the credibility of the message to OP.
You’re a life-saver.
good job for letting her know whats up. I always tell my grandma all the scams ive heard of, and luckily she has no dementia and knows better than to accept anything on the phone if she doens't know the person. its fortunate she never wants to touch a computer and hasn't.
It feels so satisfying to hear Jim being more aggressive and upfront to the scammers this time round
They deserve to be scared
I don't understand why they even bother arguing with Jim. They know they're scamming, they know everything they say will be proved wrong, and they're wasting their scamming time talking to him.
@@scottlarson1548
Because Jim REALLY got in their meat, and they have absolutely no instinct on how to proceed. A good analogy is a rat when a mink gets into their nest (shout out to Joseph "Mink Man" Carter). The aggression and systematic dismantling of their arguments frazzles them to hell and back.
@@DinnerForkTongue The way to proceed is to hang up and scam someone else.

I like how you’re getting a lot more aggressive and serious when talking to these scammers. You sound very intimidating 😂 keep up the great work
he is literally the real life batman haha
All other channels considered, I see him as the last voice scammers hear before the cops pull up. Kinda like the Ghost of Christmas Future.

these street shitters are subhuman. they dont care
This makes me so mad. They should all be in prison for life.
Please keep doing this Jim. This makes a huge difference, and brings education to people who can spread the word so that less people can get scammed in the future! Way to go being super stern with these obvious scammers.
Wow, this is the first time I can recall where Jim showed us the audio of a call where he was actually PISSED off! When such an admirable man such as Jim Browning gets ticked off, you know those scammers are in for it! I totally respect you, Jim. Hats off to you and all you do! You may not be able to save all these poor people from being scammed, but you certainly have done far more than your share!
Well put. Took the words right outta my mouth.
I loved it! But hats of to Jim for putting that guy in his place
Came here to say the same thing. When his voice got sharp, it made my blood run cold. And then when he said, "Oh, I'll find it out" (about the company's address), I got a second chill. Jim Browning is in a league of his own.
I was just about to say this then scrolled down, THANK YOU!
Won't lie, my same thought. Like normally Jim is fairly composed and level, even if you can tell he is not happy, however this 100% feels like a whole other level!

The audacity of this guy trying to argue over where the company is located instead of just hanging up 😂
A friend of mine's husband is going into cyber security and he's interested in doing stuff like this in his off time and I highly encourage it.
Jim sounded legitimetly angry, as if he were that man's grandson. Not sure if its 'acting' as its not hard to get mad at lying scammers, but channeling that to fill a role was still super impressive.
Great work as always.
Jim "Dark Knight" Browning's anger is understandable, especially given all he has seen and victims he's spoken with. Yet his focus in the call was unwavering. Jim is doing great things. Respectfully . . . the "character" of Jim's voice might more likely have been the victim's son. B-)
“Channeling....” right.............
I don’t think it’s acting. He talked to that poor old man, who was so kind and even apologetic for talking slow, and then heard how confused and betrayed the sweet gramps felt over being scammed.
Seeing such a kind, helpless person be taken advantage of by someone they trusted; is enough to get most people’s blood boiling. Then add on top that the scammer tried to *lie to his face*.
No way that anger is just an act.

He drives directly through their lies, and roots them out. Very satisfying seeing scammers stopped.
The tech equivalent to owning the libs : played out and completely inconclusive
@@dustscythe7702 Not sure they were stopped. Jim can call them out but it's the local police that needs to act to actually stop them. And I remember reading that the branch of Indian police that deals with cybercrime is understaffed and underfunded and often doesn't have the resources to go after most of these people. And even when they get them, the battle just begins and the lawyers get into action (and I'm sure these scammers have lawyers as well). And since these scams often happen over borders, I can imagine the cases being quite complicated.
I work in Fraud for a very large company. Scammers call our subscribers and promise discounts for a one time payment. I always gather as much info as possible for our back office folks. I did decide to call one of the scammers one time, and I told him 'I know what you are doing. I have told (customer) not to pay you.' It didn't faze the Indian scammer at all, he proceeded to start a string of cursing at me. They know I stopped one scam, but they just move on to the next one. It's whack-a-mole.
I hate these scammers with a passion! I’m glad to see them getting called out for more awareness
Omg this world needs more like you! It gets taxing just keeping my own grandparents safe from these pos scams. Thank you!

As someone who works in an actual call center (I do tech support for Nintendo), these guys seriously piss me off.
I have a pretty heavy accent (I'm a Venezuelan exile), and because of assholes like these, there's a significant amount of customers who call, hear my foreign accent, and are distrustful and/or demanding to speak with an american.
Not only are they stealing from tons of people and ruining their lives, but they are making the jobs of honest workers like us needlessly harder in the process.
I love the profile picture.
Also, I'm sorry you have to go through that. I'm a call center rep as well, but I'm aspiring to be an ethical hacker when I get stronger.
You are right. I had to call DWP the other day after receiving a letter that I had been overpaid ( which the amount matched and my details too and I knew about it). The operator had a slight Indian accent and involuntary, I went all cautious. The poor guy was very embarrassed but as I was sure it was a legit call, I relaxed a bit. I felt very sorry for him because ohe has to endure people like me who grill him for doing his job, just because scammers. . And I am angry at the scammers because I had to make sure the number on the letter did indeed belong to DWP, so I wasted time on gov. Uk .
I am so cautious nowadays that I don’t even trust the official sites have not been spoofed. Total Paranoia 🤣
Did you just casually mention you work for Nintendo?
@@Laiser Uhh yes? Well, Nintendo of America, not the European or Asian branches
So, if I called up the Nintendo line would they assist troubleshooting with any one of their home consoles? For example, N64?
The anger trembling away in Jim’s voice. I totally feel u good sir!
Thank you for all you do Jim. It’s satisfying to hear you confront scammers with their own words and demand explanations.

I unliked this because then it would be the triple 6... o.o
Doing more than the local authorities.
@@shann2323 what’s wrong with 666?
I would love if he put his parents in jail
I live in New Zealand and when I saw that these scams were happening here, I can tell you I am worried for people here especially the elderly, who just don't know they are being scammed. We don't hear about most scams going on but I know they do. Unfortunately, I have two female relatives who were being scammed by fake lovers. I feel like I need to warn everybody.... somehow. Thanks.
Jim what you do is brilliant, there are a lot of US based scam batters. Glad to see irish/northern Irish based ones too. Keep doing the amazing stuff you do
My parents are 77 and 86, and have been targeted multiple times by scammers. Hearing Jack broke my heart, thank you for protecting him
Yes, i hope your parents are also protected from this.
Yeah and crank call them
That damn Rakesh keeps calling me about the Disney plan
Jim?
Who was the one that got groomed?
When it starts with CCTV footage, you just know it's going to be a wild ride.
I don't do much good in the world but I have taught my 80-year-old grandfather to never click anything and always come to me if he has even the tiniest doubt. Keep up the great work!
Anyone calling me with an Indian accent, I hang up immediately.
Exactly lol
Keep up the great work Jim! ❤️🔥
Yeah
Jim is living cloud-cuckoo-land for believing his intervention to stop a scam is protecting so called vulnerable ones of our society, they clearly don’t understand Jim’s intervention, These people should be left to their own devices to allow the social Darwinism take its course and then only we will prevail with survival of the fittest.

I like the angry unapologetic Jim Browning handling these worthless scammers.
Hey now, lets not go overboard. Some scammers are worth quite a lot. They are mostly worth exactly the amount of money they have sucessfully scammed off people. The ones who target the elderly can be very wealthy I hear.
@@GrimgoreIronhide
Go overboard? What are you trying to say? Are you defending the worthless scammers?
@@razorrich no. He’s sarcastically saying they’re not worthless because they’re wealthy from the scams.
@@CommanderTK9091
I doubt it. Edda doesn’t sound witty.
You do realize the definition of ‘worthless’ is also having no good qualities; deserving contempt. Scammers are worthless people period!
@@razorrich I’m not defending a notion that scammers are decent people; they aren’t. All I’m saying is his comment was meant as a joke.
Love your work Jim. I work in IT and I have been scammed but as soon as they wanted access to my PC I realised it. Keep up the great work. Andrew
Keep up the great work! One thing that might not be immediately obvious (especially to elderly individuals), is that there are often subtle typing errors in fake scam web pages or emails. Things like missing commas, periods, spaces after periods, unnecessary capitalization, design issues, etc. (as seen at 2:18, for example). A real professional company would not typically make these kinds of mistakes.
How can a single man do a better job than the entire police department dedicated to this. You are awesome Jim
Jim is human and police is pig
The police is just idling, that's why. Bribes and all. The law can't even be trusted, not just in India, but globally.
@Aurora Sky I'm a software engineer and work with tons of Indians. It's sad because they are so ashamed of this shit.
police is corrupt
Because they themselves let crime happened. Look at the position the world is in now lol how do you explain that one with all this mass surveillance? Smh
Jim is scary interacting with the scammers. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side lol
I had to skip over some parts because I got nervous and felt like I was in trouble. Lol.
The joys of having a northern Irish accent, does come in handy putting the fear of bhudda into these pricks
So great to know that i find this vid ~2 years later to find that the facebook link no longer works. Plus the accent just makes holding them accountable that much more satisfying
Ohhh Jim, watching their total of revenue is so sickening. Broke my heart at all the innocents of customers that has been affected.
Jim, i love watching your videos and thank you for everything you do combating scammers.
Does anybody else feels like Jim should be funded by the government, get a whole floor of a police department with a whole bunch of workers? Coz I think he's doing more good than the police themselves.
sadly i don't think they would be able to as they are so contained by the laws (even against thieves...sigh) and i think the scammers rely upon this.. it is terrible...
but i wonder (not trying to complain about him... i luv what this guy does) if he is breaking laws that these scammers reply on... it hurts my head trying to double or to triple think these guys .....
as much as i would luv to see that - that the gov would send him resources etc, that is not likely to happen - as much as they may actually enjoy seeing him chastise scammers they can't help... i really wish they could or would...
@@albertbresca8904 Wich just shows that, at least in some cases, vigilantes operating outside of legal restrictions can actually benefit society. Imho, this guy is the perfect example of DIY-justice done right.
@@MoreImbaThanYou on watching this video a few days after it was released i realised we'd gotten no scam calls for a few days ... and that lasted til the end of the week - just as they said - they had closed the scam call centre down for a week....
it was almost pleasant again to answer the phone (I usually get a couple of recorded scam calls a day.. ) ..
nice to see these guys are actually nice vigilantes .. and though they do some things that may be illegal they stay very much on the side of the law and right by society....
so good to see....
you'd think with all this bad publicity the indians government would actually crack down on this kind of thing - but then again why should the as it brings money (quite a lot) into their economy with very little outleigh..
bad for us but good for that country....
Cops also do a lot of stuff to prevent scams but unfortunately they are not free like a youtuber to do anything and also if they catch any organisation they don't make a yt video to show it.
Unfortunately In the world we live in, its easier to drone bomb innocent women, children and men without a warrant, without any oversight and most importantly without any consequences and when same people ( the govt) tells me that they are not able to get a bunch of scammers in a country who wants to get rid of them, my BS radar goes up i e they don't stop these scammers because its not in their interest to do so
It really is heartbreaking to see all the poor people these scammers have stolen money from. Thank you so much for all of the people you have saved and all the awareness you have spread!
ok
Wow. How absolutely calm you are when taking to them is amazing.
I love how literally no one in this comment section can read the description. He literally stated why he blurs their faces there. He cannot show their faces due to UA-cam's privacy rules, but has the unblurred versions of the videos with the full details available, on Patreon.
I love how at 0:48 he blurs out their faces just enough to be considered not revealing their actual faces but we can all tell what they look like, Jim you sneaky bastard
Do you think they care
@@mtech1278 It’s so youtube doesn’t take Jim’s channel down for violating privacy.
😂
“Sneaky bastard”
Let's face it, nobody would be able to tell them apart either way.
A member of my extended family used to work at Staples, and he said they had elderly people coming in all the time to buy gift cards to pay these clowns. Fortunately, the company (at least where he worked) was well aware of the scam, and he and other store employees were able to dissuade many from purchasing the gift cards. THANK YOU JIM for all you do!
Retail and bank employees are increasingly aware of these scams, I work at a Target and we try, with varying degrees of success, to stop a scam in progress at least once a week.
You got me thinking... if I ever need a different job or to supplement one of the stores they want gift cards from would be a good place to start if only to be able to attempt to discourage the card buying when it seems suspicious. How satisfying that would be!
I feel like I've seen more and more of these lately at the store I work at. Sometimes a retail worker warning them is enough to save them, but sometimes the victims get mad at US for dating to imply they're being scammed.
@@DraykonVokelda Where I work we regularly get the scam victims we failed to convince come back in to complain to US that they lost their money, they actually think we're somehow in on the scam that we specifically warned them was a scam and told them not to participate in.
@@asteroidrules yup, that's why so many scammers on these videos always say, "oh, don't talk to any bank employees or the "hacker" will figure it out and steal all your money" because they know the bank employees will spot it almost immediately and stop them.
God bless you for the work you do. Saving people from these evil tactics.
This is the first time I've heard of you but I just wanted to say I am happy to see someone helping the people not to get scammed I'm also really happy that you help Disney because I love Disney very much and I hope they see this video so that they know what is going on
It's funny to watch Kitboga "fall" for the netstat trick, but hearing a real elderly man fall for it is heartbreaking

As someone who dabbles in networking-related software, I'm dying at the "2% of firewall remaining" concept, like some kind of defence mechanisms in a video game.
same here lol i died
“Captain Kirk, sir! We have a problem, sir!” Yells random redshirt number 22 from his station at the {defensive system control station}. “What is it that it’s so important right now, trooper. Can’t you see that we’re under attack?” “It’s the firewall, sir! It’s at 2%!” *A giant, holographic forcefield-esque shield surrounding the ship glows concerningly dimly and flickers*
If a firewall actually had a percentage counter, why not just programme it to stay at 100%? Lol
Gives the same vibes as a movie protagonist saying they're a hacker but just geuss random passwords
"Sire! Our firewall is at low integrity! The inforks are about to breach in thy castle!"
It's great that you are being so stern and authoritative with these scammers, sometimes overpowering and dominating these scummy weak scammers with overwhelming strength can be an effective way of taking control and demolishing their scammer confidence, which then could affect their scam performance too
Plus the satisfaction of not letting them off easy
I like it
Great work as usual
I only wish that their faces could be shown, only the we could all put this on our social media platforms. Great work, btw.
Jim grilling the scammer on Firewall being at 2% was the highlight.... every elderly person should watch one of more of these videos to understand how scammers operate
He reminded me of a wolf showing dominance. Loud and intimidating and gives his target no opportunity to regain footing at all.
They work on the simple princple that older people dont wont to appear stupid and are therefore easy prey to con artists.
I already showed his videos to my parents a while back. It's way easier to understand by watching the video than verbal explanation so it's pretty cool that these videos are available.
The fact that that Jim has been doing this for so long and this is the first time we've heard him raise his voice says a lot. It must be so hard listening to these criminals scam vulnerable people.
It must be frustrating, especially since authorities do little to nothing to help…
I guess you've not listened to livestreams - he yells at them all the time haha.
I actually needed to backtrack a bit, since I thought it really was his grandfather. That was what I thought would be the reason for him raising his voice, which as you say, he rarely does, but it turns out he just had enough that day. When a quiet and calm man starts raising his voice, you listen.
@@SuperTurboCrash when does he do livestreams?
@@TheQuackleDKZ i think he probably taught his grandpa about that lol, my man jims grandpa isnt getting scammed.
Jim.... Its so informative....very much appreciate your work....expose those bad guys and get rid off those using wrong methods of making money. Jim.. You are doing a great job
Awesome Jim, thank you for standing up for those conned by these scam merchants. The scare tactics aimed at the silver surfers worry them to pay out unnecessarily. Modern day Robin Hood standing up for what is right and decent. Well done and keep it up.
Elderly people specifically getting scammed like this makes my blood boil. You're doing a huge service Jim!
While working at Best Buy, had an elderly fellow who was cleaned out of his whole checking and savings account because he owed Microsoft years of OS payments. Crazy
@Fast Cara how are they age shaming? no one called them dumb.. older people arent always as good with computers because they never grew up with them and they are always the ones that are targeted and fall for it.
@Fast Cara uhm how? it is true that most victims are older..
@Fast Cara Yup because they aren't versed in modern technology. Just like most kids don't know what a casette tape is, a walkman, what gear is recommended when pushing a manual vehicle. etc. This is to protect them, and if someone gets offended by it (or for them) then either we're correct or you need to get a new hobby rather than being offended for someone else.
@Fast Cara reporting u for spam mate, same comment. 🤣
"Do you have our company address?" " Oh, I'll find it out." You better run sir, Jim is a real life avenger.
Ngl that was pure gold.
This was a "why do I hear boss music?" moment for the scammer
You're a great guy, mate! So nice to see someone calling them out and fighting for the 86 year old victim. These people are spoiling my country's name that some us work very hard to build.
Thank You for keeping us updated and exposesing these Scamers.
Being a senior citizen, I find myself a target of a great many scammers, more domestic than foreign. They call me (I no longer answer the phone), they come to my house and give me inflated estimates for home repair jobs, they tell me they are fixing some terribly broken parts on my car. Of course, I walk away, but in wasting my time with these dishonest guys, I end up not getting something fixed that needs fixing. How I wish I could order one Jim Browning to call these fellas out for their thievery. They think because I'm older that I'm addle-brained. Not yet, buddy. I was working on computers when the disks were actually floppy and you had to know commands and how to manage a & b drives. Still, I have to put up with their assumptions. I'm so tired of people trying to rip me off.
I’m very sorry to hear that. Glad you know not to fall for these scams. Take care
same for younger people. we get all the same calls and we also get targeted with crypto scams and with international money exchange investment scams AND catfishing scams
I'm glad to know you're at least aware of their scams. Please let your older friends know about this too!
@@agnidas5816 You got to be dumb to get catfish scam
@Lux Aeterna Believe me, hon. I do spread the word as do others in my circle. We have an online community forum on which we post incidents of scamming & plain old dishonest business practices. Sad that we have only ourselves to rely on with most of these situations--meaning, we can't go to the police or even elected representatives and expect any protection from them. Although, if I think a business has ripped me off, I will write a complaint to FTC or local consumer protection agency--all I've done is make a record, no one is going to jump up and interrogate the bad guy. This is not what I envisioned doing in my retired life.
Jim you have my utmost respect for what you do.
It is really disgusting how these heartless crooks look so bloody smug. Their impotent Government's flagrant complacency needs addressing before more unsuspecting vulnerable persons are made to suffer.
They're heartless.
Yea no, it's not complacency, people in their government are the ones running the vast scam networks. The only way to fight them would be for countries to run communications sanctions against them, but that would never happen becasue we have vested interests are just about as corrupt.
@@evolicious Yes fair point. Since one trip to India, having only connected an Airport WiFi once with email, I'm bombarded with notices of non-payment, summons and urgent requests for my credit card details from even government domains!
