Wow, I'm amazed by the sheer amount of work you put into all of this. You basically do what the police/law enforcement agencies should be doing but probably can't because they lack the necessary resources. Thank you for your service to the public!
I actually do. I assume that regular cops would have a hard time understanding the crime that is committed here, let alone uncovering the connections between the various people, as they are almost certainly not even aware of tools like whois and the Wayback Machine. Even if you manage to get the attention of a specialized cybercrime unit where knowledge about what the Internet has to offer to uncover the tracks of such criminals can be assumed I see at least three other problems: #1: The criminals themselves operate from a location which is outside the jurisdiction of said cybercrime unit - by thousands of kilometers. #2: The victims of this crime could be difficult to identify as they themselves are not even aware they are a victim. #3: Even in case you are successful and manage to get hold of the criminals, public recognition of that success would almost certainly be negligible compared to the attention successful raids against child pornographers create among the general public, voters, and politicians. I certainly believe law enforcement agencies/police should take action in such cases, however, I can see why they might choose to prosecute other crimes instead which are much more promising (i. e. the culprit is assumed to be in the same country or at least in the EU) while at the same time being much more rewarding (lots of positive press coverage => positive image of police work).
Thiesi They don't need some specialized cybercrime dudes. I myself don't know how they operate or how many technicians they have but I can't imagine that they are not able to track down people like the ones Jim is trying to bring to justice. They have far more resources and connections than Jim has so I can say that they can easily deal with it a lot faster from Jim. I think that this kind of crime needs more attention from public to make them do something more about it. If it takes just one person like Jim to come this far imagine how faster it could be for a team or just maybe one person in police or other agencies. (I understand that it's hard to read it and I'm sorry about that but it's pain in ass to write on phone for me)
Thiesi I think Jim is not as good as specialized units against cybercrime. But I may be wrong because the only thing I know about Jim is that he loves to to bring down scammers.
I am an Indian and I truly appreciate your work, Jim. Local police crack down on such scammers but it varies based on state to state. In my city, recently a large scammer network was discovered and was shut down by police. But again, Efficiency of such vigilance is really low. Your work will make other people aware and will surely help them to be more attentive.
Mate, this is rock solid work... fair play to you. This kind of independent work is very important because the authorities don't have a clue half the time. You deserve a Guinness!
You know what Jim? You have a voice and tone of speaking that makes the video interesting and informative and do it in such a way that we don't feel talked down to. Enlightening and engaging.
Awaiting the next videos now! Part 4: Confronting the scammers in person. Part 5: Catching the scammers red-handed while they are scamming somebody else. Part 6: Locating the scammers' children, teaching them dirty words, lewd songs and also about the existence of eyelash mites. Part 7: Starting a support group for ex-scammers. Excerpts from group therapy sessions. Part 7B: Music video "I will never scam again" by local artist. Part 7C: Charity drive for ex-scammers support group (April fools video) Part 8: Statistical analysis: which school kids are the most likely to grow up and become scammers? Part 9: Preventing at-risk youth from becoming scammers, using kittens. Parts 10 and on: More kittens.
ACTUALLY, quitting scamming is basically thrown away their sole income and risking their lives, especially if they have no other way to make money so it should be highly encouraged to quit! If you’re against scammers, why not support people quitting? Persecution either way doesn’t make them want to quit and live an honest life...
But great ideas otherwise, but it’s always the poorest and most desperate people that have to choose between begging and applying at a call centre that might be a scam
Jim Browning not only that I came back from work and a tech support scammer called me saying that I have a virus he called me 8 times a day how do i block these calls?
Max A you can also download DU Caller if you have an android device. it will tell you if the caller is a spam call or something like that and then they will give you the option to block the number or not. You can also record the call with that software.
Jim Browning Absolutely brilliant work jim, they tried the microsoft scam on me a couple of times, the first time i told them to f off but the second time i decided to have some fun with them, im not pc savvy in any way but im pretty handy with my mouth so i strung them along for a wee while and when they sussed me the abuse started... bingo, they got both barrels. the guy was so pissed off with me he tried to harrass me by phoning every morning at 8am, that lasted for two days before he gave up. keep up the good work jim the world needs more people like you, subscribed and liked.
Jim-- Your own caution, fairness and objectivity through your investigation speaks for itself. Apparently, a great number of viewers agree-- observe the unusually high ratio between ratings for "Approve" vs "Disapprove". Of course, I subscribed, and have passed along the link to others. Many thanks!
Sulfuric Acid take ethical hacking course at college, it's a tough tough course, install kali linux, download ehc-9 labs, and all the programs ( turn off all virus and windows defender) else won't be able to download, then have fun.
I expected to just watch some scammer losing their time with a tech savvy person, and instead i am now watching a documentary on locating these scammers. Amazing work, you earned yourself a subscriber for life
I love watching these videos! Jim is so intelligent and well spoken. I've been watching tech scam vids for about a year now and this guy is the best. I hope you have some success in bringing justice to these low life's. Thanks
Did I just hear Arnab claiming to be a victim also ? He was laundering money for them. The fact they stitched him up too is irrelevant. He should be reported and his licence to practice withdrawn.
Guilty af. If he's a lawyer, there is no way he would have signed up to such an obviously fraudulent undertaking on the basis of a verbal agreement. Another line of attack might be to pursue him through the body that represents and validates practicing lawyers in both India and the UK
Yep. He just acts on the same way the land owner in a pot business does. He provides all the legal means for the action, and when the thing goes shit, he says he had no idea the re was a criminal activity being commited.
Arnab Sen denies any knowledge of what his Indian friends are doing but gradually reveals that he was aware that ‘calls’ were being made and admitted that he wanted a cut of the money that he was transferring! He is definitely a major player?
I thought his story was plausible, he was introduced to these people by a mutual friend who offered him what he at first thought was a legitimate business opportunity, he may have had his doubts and did not want to put his name to it but was convinced it was worth the risk, now super detective Jim Browning is on the case he is scared of being prosecuted for his involvement, for a man who says it is his business to dig deeper for details he failed to do this or took the risk, i don't think he is a major player but he certainly played his part and was paid for it, tax paid or not, no surprise he is willing to turn on his countrymen to save his own skin, he should have thought it through.
Having money flow from UK to India is not something Indian government will be falling over to do much about. The fact that UK give aid to India is not exactly part of any moral compass. Stop it.
I think Jim needs to STOP sending info to the Kolkata fraud team because all they do is take the evidence to the scammer's and they start getting a bribe from them every month. So all he is doing is making the police extra money.
thanks for helping people.. you r a good man.. keep up the good work and im sure lot of people around the world r so thankful for your warning, millions of people ll be more careful for sure bc of you.... its great to see someone using his gifted abilities for good... peace!! from Istanbul Turkiye
Completely agree Jim! I really love your videos man. I would love for you to go against one one of these modern tech support scammers. Thx a lot man! I hope your UA-cam channel grows big and helps in bringing down these scammers.
Mr. Browning, you sir are a hero. I hope BBC or Vice or NPR or someone gives you a broader platform to help expose these crooks. You have not only the skillset to properly expose these folks, but also the elocution to explain what you are doing/seeing. Looking forward to part 4...
I agree. This would make an awesome documentary. As a person from Kolkata India, I'm ashamed that these people scam innocent hard working people of their money. Mr Browning, I love you work and the depth of you investigation. I do a job that requires a fair bit of investigation (not this much in depth), so I'm naturally very interested in all your videos. Kudos to you Sir, and keep fighting the good fight.
I was born and brought up in Calcutta ( re-christened as Kolkata some 16/17 years back). Currently I reside in NY. And with conviction I can tell you Jim, that Kolkata police will offer you Z E R O help. I’d not like to hold back my punches and hence would say this, that the police out there is in cahoots with bastards of these kinds. So, forget about getting any help or co-operation from them. Anyhow, YOU my friend, are an awesome guy. The service you are rendering is unbelievable. You are a true superhero. Keep it up, bro.
Shalam Jim, I would like to say that i am proud of you for making it this far. I was a victim of a scam back in February. I was not aware that this was as big as it was but watching your video help me to be more alert. I watch your videos I hope that you can get justice as I have not been so lucky. I do get cold calls still but I just don't answer the phone. I will be watching for the next video!!!!!!!
Jim Browning Is there a part 4 coming? EDIT: I mean it has to.. You cant stop this journey here, they are still out there scamming. I hope you will finish what you started. lots of love
I guess the local authorities have no interest in shutting down a "business" that brings money to the city. The people running the operation probably have enough money to bribe the police even if someone tried to sue them. Someone should just march in there with professional bodyguards and force them to transfer back any money they still have left, and then confiscate all their computers. I also have some suggestions what to do after that, but I'll leave it at that :)
Right, cause after all what could possibly go wrong with that approach?... You'd be lucky to not get hurt or arrested if you tried in person intimidation tactics like that. Remember that the police will not be on your side nor will anyone else from there.
Always an icon. I will never get tired watching all of your videos over and over again. I got hook up with all the scambaiters. Hope one day this will be your full time job. You are already helping a lot of.victims. God bless you more @Jim Browning.
absolutely brilliant, your analytical methodology and fantastic video demeanor makes your videos so entertining, educational and satisfying! Thanks Jim
Doing Gods work Jim haha, But seriously I await the coming chapter of this situation. Thanks for your previous tutorials and guides, looking forward to said video :)
This is extremely scummy but I'm glad he agreed to be open and actually talk to you and the discussion was calm and polite. Thank you Jim for all your good work.
Thank you good sir! You are providing a truly valuable service and while it's frustrating to see no action, it's amazing to see the effort you're putting in.
This video is running up two years old now, so I don't know if you'll see this comment at all. But, in the hopes you do, has there been any update in regards to this investigation? Basing on your previous two videos regarding this matter, it seems to me that the Indian Police Authority over this matter is falling on deaf ears. I'm also suspecting that it may fall on deaf ears in the UK side of things too. As prevalent as these scams are, it appears to me that India has little interest in shutting these tech scammers down and I've only heard of one or two centers that were actually shut down in the news and some were charged. However, to even get to that point takes an excruciatingly long time to do so. In the meantime, people like yourself, ScammerRevolts, and many others on UA-cam, it is nice and refreshing to see the amount of work put into wasting their time for our enjoyment, and the amount of digging involved to expose for the frauds they are.
So, from what I can gather, from the comment section etc. Is Jim has not received any word back from Amab and has continued doing what he does best with these scammers in the mean time. If you want a part 4 I highly suggest checking out his recently uploaded 4 part series where he got access to scammer CTV footage and even got a documentary crew to help out and actually go to Kolkata or, was it Mumbai... or Delhi I can't remember at the moment. (I probably none of those names right.) Anyways, sorry this update for you is 10 months late :( but, I only just found this video so, I couldn't have updated you any time sooner :'). Hopefully this message I've been posting in the comment section helps bring closure.
Sir u should be working in cyber crime department. Ur skills exceed far more than just making youtube videos. I sincerely hope u get noticed by the right people, but please keep making these awesome videos🙏🙏
After these three videos, I'm subb'd. You sir, are a genius. I'm on a large Forum. Last week, I was contacted by some Indian IRS scammers. I published their number on our Forum, along with Twitter, and flooded their phone lines. I received over a thousand responses saying that they had called the scammers and wasted their time.
I'm from the south India and I've got to say, this journey is really exciting and anxious for me to watch. I'm really glad that someone is taking action atleast outside of India despite informing and being ignored by the inside (Kolkata) authorities. Kudos!
Richard Dukard The thing is, we can never eradicate scammers. Whether they are caught by Indian police, or something else. No matter what we do, someone will still be scamming somewhere in the world.
Hey. thanks for making a new video. I like your ones the most because when you are talking to a scammer, you dont expose them instantly or half way though, you leave it till the end. ;)
For those of you who are just as upset as I am that there is no part 4, I've gone ahead and done my own research on some things discussed in this series, however ill keep things simple: 1. The "Ariba Call Center" is still up and running, they still run scams, they have never run anything else other than scams, and "Ms Ariba Ghaus" still works there, without 'Mr Aslaan Ghaus" 2. Mr Arslaan Ghaus had left the Ariba Call Center (and his wife?) to work on a scam for another company called "Gifttones", although the company has changed to dropshipping cheap junk from China, as the name implies the company used to be (and could possibly still be) a mobile phone ringtone scam (charging you large amounts of money monthly because you bought 1 ringtone), he then went back to tech support scamming for a company called "IT CHASE LLC", which also dropships cheap junk alongside selling their fake "securities" and other scam software. He currently works for an "Organic Food' company called "Siha & Afia International" apparently located in Dubai, which seem somewhat legit but further research into this company might prove valuable. 3. I have not researched the other 2 listed members of the Ariba Call Center. 4. India's police, even with the somewhat new widespread access of internet across the country (tseries etc.), are still related to, and paid off by tech support (and other) scammers, its no surprise that you never had a response from them, and I'd estimate that it will be another 20+ years before they aren't corrupt enough to actually do something about it. 5. Arnab Sen is a liar, he STILL operates Fair Merchants LLC, this companies ONLY job is to accept and send money back to india (im 100% that the money is from tech support scams only) and Jim didn't do ANY research into his other company "IMMIGRATION LAWYERS LTD", which helps to grant citizenship and passports to Indians that are convicted criminals, scammers and other people that the UK would consider "not acceptable for citizenship"
www.solacexis.com/arnab-sen/ If we read between the lines, he's still into helping dodgey people get a foothold in the UK. it even says "illustrious career" XD Although, I'm assuming that was written sarcastically. Almost a shame I'm not a lawyer, they seem to be hiring. Imagine getting someone inside to root around in his files XD
Aye! Thanks for doing some research, On Jims side all I have is this update apparently he has not heard a single word from Amab about what's currently going on. So, yea Amab is a liar and a cheat.
Keep up the great work and dont lose faith. Alot of people listen to you because they know your on the side of good. Great job Jim .............................peace
Thanks Jim . We need more people like you who can be a deterrent to these scammers and create a fear factor among them. Feel ashamed that these people are from India.
Part 4. Jim finally closes the gap and armed with his laptop and a few other UK scam victims, goes to Calcutta and SWAT teams the hornets nest itself-the infamous ariba call center! He throws a flash grenade and rolls in.....“Everyone hands in the air, on the ground, get on the ground now”
Jim Browning we used to get a few of these scam calls in switzerland a while back. The scenario was the same, only with one small caveat - they still tried to do the scam in english. And this is probably why they don't do it anymore as the success rate must have been pretty low, as their target audience likely didn't speak english well enough. It is at least two or three years since I spoke on a phone with a scammer. I miss them, I always enjoyed our conversations.
Jim, a lot of hard work mate. No scam of this size could exist without the sanction and kickbacks of whatever law enforcement agency is responsible to hunt, prosecute and close them down. They have the greater guilt burden, and they don't like honest people like you exposing their tolerance of crime. Especially in India where crime is a way of life. So many can't exist without it.
And Jim I’d pay you to call me and just talk for like 5 min to hear your precious voice in my phone LOL.....I’m serious though your monotone,calm,collective voice is incredible and you don’t curse thank you so much.
With the spooky background music... And your deep voice... This is a straight up late night show... I'm set up to watch all your videos with popcorn... Best damn documentary... You are awesome Jim

He thought they were making calls for legitimate IT support help and he is taking cut from legitimate IT help; which could be possible.

You're doing great work Jim! The amount of effort you put into each video is insane! Nice One!:)
Fair Merchant Ltd shows a new director appointed in June 2019.
Probably gave up on the company honestly. I don't know how it works though.
Robert Woolley The Ariba Call Center still exists and has a website.

Mr. Browning, you sir are a hero. I hope BBC or Vice or NPR or someone gives you a broader platform to help expose these crooks. You have not only the skillset to properly expose these folks, but also the elocution to explain what you are doing/seeing.
Looking forward to part 4...
I agree. This would make an awesome documentary. As a person from Kolkata India, I'm ashamed that these people scam innocent hard working people of their money. Mr Browning, I love you work and the depth of you investigation. I do a job that requires a fair bit of investigation (not this much in depth), so I'm naturally very interested in all your videos. Kudos to you Sir, and keep fighting the good fight.
@@EatGoShit and if you still follow this channel, you were probably rewarded!
I was born and brought up in Calcutta ( re-christened as Kolkata some 16/17 years back). Currently I reside in NY. And with conviction I can tell you Jim, that Kolkata police will offer you Z E R O help. I’d not like to hold back my punches and hence would say this, that the police out there is in cahoots with bastards of these kinds. So, forget about getting any help or co-operation from them.
Anyhow, YOU my friend, are an awesome guy. The service you are rendering is unbelievable. You are a true superhero. Keep it up, bro.
Fantastic work as always.
MON THE JIM
Im on the marathon of your videos, i honestly dont know how did i got here, but thanks God i did, i fu****g love it. So fu****g subbed
Shalam Jim, I would like to say that i am proud of you for making it this far. I was a victim of a scam back in February. I was not aware that this was as big as it was but watching your video help me to be more alert. I watch your videos I hope that you can get justice as I have not been so lucky. I do get cold calls still but I just don't answer the phone. I will be watching for the next video!!!!!!!
Jim Browning Is there a part 4 coming?
EDIT: I mean it has to.. You cant stop this journey here, they are still out there scamming. I hope you will finish what you started.
lots of love
Its 5/25/21 and i still watch your old videos, im glad you came back to UA-cam
Woah, this is one mighty fine investigation work. Kudos to you sir.
Sort them out Jim.Well done.Trouble is,you are dealing with a chaotic,corrupt society where money and status is king.Thanks.
YES A JIM UPLOAD!
It's fine Jim. I don't care how long you take as long as long as you keep on making great videos!
You are an awesome investigator. Thank you for your dedicated work. You certainly help a lot of people all over the world.
I guess the local authorities have no interest in shutting down a "business" that brings money to the city. The people running the operation probably have enough money to bribe the police even if someone tried to sue them. Someone should just march in there with professional bodyguards and force them to transfer back any money they still have left, and then confiscate all their computers.
I also have some suggestions what to do after that, but I'll leave it at that :)
P true
I wanna here
Or just emp them
Napalm!
Right, cause after all what could possibly go wrong with that approach?...
You'd be lucky to not get hurt or arrested if you tried in person intimidation tactics like that.
Remember that the police will not be on your side nor will anyone else from there.
Always an icon. I will never get tired watching all of your videos over and over again. I got hook up with all the scambaiters. Hope one day this will be your full time job. You are already helping a lot of.victims. God bless you more @Jim Browning.
For a Lawyer, I can't believe the guy is this dumb? to let people run scams that lead directly to him.
Murray Herts that's because he's not a lawyer, he's a scammer
He is an immigration lawyer..
Murray Herts right, and I'm a poo go in de loo lawyer
maybe he knew it was a scam and had a change of heart
MrLTiger apparently not since his name is still there and it’s been years
I rarely add public comments, but I think your work is very special and very measured; you should be congratulated. Keep it up.
Absolutely Brilliant Video Jim! Great as always, keep it up!
Jim Browning I shall ☺
Dude, your time and effort to make these videos, is well appreciated. Personally, I like the way you inform the viewer whats going on.
YES A NEW PART, WOW BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
xD Hope so, :D
Great job!!! The world needs more people like you, sir! Thanks for all the work you are doing (or have done) to bring these clowns to justice!
I hope you can be the first cyberspace detective sir. You make me wanna find you and hug you for your tenaciousness! lol good job.
Greetings from a fellow Scot (living down-under now). Love and respect what you do. Keep fighting the good fight!
Glad your back man
Your voice is so soothing to listen to. Honestly wish you could read me a bedtime story at night.
This is what I always imagined Liam Neeson did in his spare time. Now I have confirmation.
absolutely brilliant, your analytical methodology and fantastic video demeanor makes your videos so entertining, educational and satisfying! Thanks Jim
I feel like I just watched an episode of X-Files, so awesome
Doing Gods work Jim haha, But seriously I await the coming chapter of this situation. Thanks for your previous tutorials and guides, looking forward to said video :)
Keep up the good work. Really enjoy your videos
This is extremely scummy but I'm glad he agreed to be open and actually talk to you and the discussion was calm and polite. Thank you Jim for all your good work.
My elderly relatives have watched your videos and wont be victims.
Thanks
Thank you good sir! You are providing a truly valuable service and while it's frustrating to see no action, it's amazing to see the effort you're putting in.
Arnab's voice and accent is absolutely same as that of most of the scammers in all these videos.
Looks like this all turned into a adventure now. Excellent.
This video is running up two years old now, so I don't know if you'll see this comment at all. But, in the hopes you do, has there been any update in regards to this investigation? Basing on your previous two videos regarding this matter, it seems to me that the Indian Police Authority over this matter is falling on deaf ears. I'm also suspecting that it may fall on deaf ears in the UK side of things too.
As prevalent as these scams are, it appears to me that India has little interest in shutting these tech scammers down and I've only heard of one or two centers that were actually shut down in the news and some were charged. However, to even get to that point takes an excruciatingly long time to do so. In the meantime, people like yourself, ScammerRevolts, and many others on UA-cam, it is nice and refreshing to see the amount of work put into wasting their time for our enjoyment, and the amount of digging involved to expose for the frauds they are.
So, from what I can gather, from the comment section etc. Is Jim has not received any word back from Amab and has continued doing what he does best with these scammers in the mean time. If you want a part 4 I highly suggest checking out his recently uploaded 4 part series where he got access to scammer CTV footage and even got a documentary crew to help out and actually go to Kolkata or, was it Mumbai... or Delhi I can't remember at the moment. (I probably none of those names right.) Anyways, sorry this update for you is 10 months late :( but, I only just found this video so, I couldn't have updated you any time sooner :').
Hopefully this message I've been posting in the comment section helps bring closure.
you are a hero man ...
we need people like you out there !
Sir u should be working in cyber crime department. Ur skills exceed far more than just making youtube videos. I sincerely hope u get noticed by the right people, but please keep making these awesome videos🙏🙏
After these three videos, I'm subb'd. You sir, are a genius. I'm on a large Forum. Last week, I was contacted by some Indian IRS scammers. I published their number on our Forum, along with Twitter, and flooded their phone lines. I received over a thousand responses saying that they had called the scammers and wasted their time.
"Ahshad the Sheriff .. but I didnt shoot the deputy.."
I'm from the south India and I've got to say, this journey is really exciting and anxious for me to watch. I'm really glad that someone is taking action atleast outside of India despite informing and being ignored by the inside (Kolkata) authorities. Kudos!
but, if we bust all the scammers, how will we watch hilarious scam baiting videos?
When the gods of scamming close a door, they open a window.
Richard Dukard The thing is, we can never eradicate scammers. Whether they are caught by Indian police, or something else. No matter what we do, someone will still be scamming somewhere in the world.
Ah lol well they're like god damn fire ants! When you get rid of some even more pop up in their place
scammers work as medusa, blow one operation and two more take its place
I'm just glad they are not on the street anymore selling fake cologne.
I am very impressed and respectful of your knowledge and, please, accept my congratulations on the work that you are doing.
THANK YOU, MERCI, GRACIE.
Hey. thanks for making a new video. I like your ones the most because when you are talking to a scammer, you dont expose them instantly or half way though, you leave it till the end. ;)
As someone that works in cybersecurity this is awesome to watch in a Friday afternoon.
For those of you who are just as upset as I am that there is no part 4, I've gone ahead and done my own research on some things discussed in this series, however ill keep things simple:
1. The "Ariba Call Center" is still up and running, they still run scams, they have never run anything else other than scams, and "Ms Ariba Ghaus" still works there, without 'Mr Aslaan Ghaus"
2. Mr Arslaan Ghaus had left the Ariba Call Center (and his wife?) to work on a scam for another company called "Gifttones", although the company has changed to dropshipping cheap junk from China, as the name implies the company used to be (and could possibly still be) a mobile phone ringtone scam (charging you large amounts of money monthly because you bought 1 ringtone), he then went back to tech support scamming for a company called "IT CHASE LLC", which also dropships cheap junk alongside selling their fake "securities" and other scam software. He currently works for an "Organic Food' company called "Siha & Afia International" apparently located in Dubai, which seem somewhat legit but further research into this company might prove valuable.
3. I have not researched the other 2 listed members of the Ariba Call Center.
4. India's police, even with the somewhat new widespread access of internet across the country (tseries etc.), are still related to, and paid off by tech support (and other) scammers, its no surprise that you never had a response from them, and I'd estimate that it will be another 20+ years before they aren't corrupt enough to actually do something about it.
5. Arnab Sen is a liar, he STILL operates Fair Merchants LLC, this companies ONLY job is to accept and send money back to india (im 100% that the money is from tech support scams only) and Jim didn't do ANY research into his other company "IMMIGRATION LAWYERS LTD", which helps to grant citizenship and passports to Indians that are convicted criminals, scammers and other people that the UK would consider "not acceptable for citizenship"
www.solacexis.com/arnab-sen/
If we read between the lines, he's still into helping dodgey people get a foothold in the UK.
it even says "illustrious career" XD Although, I'm assuming that was written sarcastically.
Almost a shame I'm not a lawyer, they seem to be hiring. Imagine getting someone inside to root around in his files XD
Aye! Thanks for doing some research, On Jims side all I have is this update apparently he has not heard a single word from Amab about what's currently going on. So, yea Amab is a liar and a cheat.
Keep up the great work and dont lose faith. Alot of people listen to you because they know your on the side of good. Great job Jim .............................peace
Who does he think he is? Father Ted? "That money was resting in my account!"
Thanks Jim . We need more people like you who can be a deterrent to these scammers and create a fear factor among them. Feel ashamed that these people are from India.
Part 4. Jim finally closes the gap and armed with his laptop and a few other UK scam victims, goes to Calcutta and SWAT teams the hornets nest itself-the infamous ariba call center! He throws a flash grenade and rolls in.....“Everyone hands in the air, on the ground, get on the ground now”
Haha! We make NCIS style movies about everything these days.
and all that with the calmest voice in the world
man, these videos and work you do are AWESOME! Keep going, it's definitely worth!
nice detective work! :)
greetings from Estonia
Not from India at least. but we do get emails from africa, claiming that they need 40 000 to different things. As usual I guess :)
Jim Browning we used to get a few of these scam calls in switzerland a while back. The scenario was the same, only with one small caveat - they still tried to do the scam in english. And this is probably why they don't do it anymore as the success rate must have been pretty low, as their target audience likely didn't speak english well enough. It is at least two or three years since I spoke on a phone with a scammer. I miss them, I always enjoyed our conversations.
Jim, a lot of hard work mate. No scam of this size could exist without the sanction and kickbacks of whatever law enforcement agency is responsible to hunt, prosecute and close them down. They have the greater guilt burden, and they don't like honest people like you exposing their tolerance of crime. Especially in India where crime is a way of life. So many can't exist without it.
I enjoyed your video :) Keep it up!
Great work Jim. Thanks for all time and effort that you put on this case.
And Jim I’d pay you to call me and just talk for like 5 min to hear your precious voice in my phone LOL.....I’m serious though your monotone,calm,collective voice is incredible and you don’t curse thank you so much.
With the spooky background music... And your deep voice... This is a straight up late night show... I'm set up to watch all your videos with popcorn... Best damn documentary... You are awesome Jim
ONE question which you failed to ask (I think, unless I missed it) was how much money did they earn? Would give an insight into the whole scam thing!
He did
Jim Browning good money in india, 1000£ is a gooood money there
A group of 20 callers rake in 40grands on an average day with mediocre scammers.
@@badanalyst1091 Are you saying the average scammer grosses £2000 a day? How much is taken at the top and how much does the scammer net?
@@Bob-jm8kl A small team of young people are hired to work with the team and can net up to 2000 quids easily for an above average work.
Awesome video Jim, I have been patiently awaiting another video. You are very clever how you go about obtaining your information.
Way back machine.. I use that to see how websites looked in the past... and to see youtubers subs. xD
Great videos Jim. Glad to see you followed this through. This should be awareness for a lot of people. Keep at it.
