Deepest condolences to you and your family ❤️. I was happy to help and even happier to see Susan receive her check. Keep up the good fight. God bless you ❤️
What it is all about. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. - James 1:27
Being Indian, I absolutely hate this part of my country. I can't imagine looting some out of their life savings, let alone a retired widowed old lady. Susan is so sweet, and I'm so so proud of what you and trilogy media have done along with your community to help her overcome the turmoil she's been going through for the last 2 years. Heart breaking. India is a good country, it's a beautiful country, but there is an ugly disgusting part of it as well, and I thank you for uncovering it. These scammers must be brought to light. Get a real job, something that helps the community and the world be a better place rather than just stealing money out of innocent people.
Hi Yash, a question for you. Why do you think it is that India, where the understanding of karma originated, produces these people who are willing to commit such terrible crimes for such temporary gains? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t the awareness of karmic consequences integral to the culture? Thanks very much for your thoughts on this!
@@sallyjenko2315 Hey Sally! It basically boils down to why crime is committed in general. Poverty, lack of ambition and seeing an easy way out of a difficult situation. India has a population of almost 1.4 billion people with about 86 million living in extreme poverty conditions. While the majority of our citizens, regardless of religion and cultural upbringing, are kind hearted and belive in Karma, but if you pick out a very small percentage, who would be otherwise from the population, the count would still be in millions. While I believe that majority of the crime that takes place in India can be dissolved by an intervention (most of it is done out of the bare necessity to survive), we will always find the rotten grapes in a basket of gorgeous fruits. Thank you for understanding the culture of my country!
@@YashChandhok Thanks Yash. That makes a lot of sense. I guess we all forget the truth from time to time. May all scammers realize that they’re not actually doing themselves any favors!
Yash...you make an excellent point. I would hate if Texas or Italians or English had this bad reputation. We should meet each new person with a blank canvas and let them paint a picture of themselves for our minds instead of having a preconceived notion. I almost broke down when he dedicated this to his grandfather. Real men do cry! ❤❤
Im from canada and i was also a victim of scammer from India.. When i called and confront them they juat laugh at me and say " im now spending your money here at the mall" very sad. People who is working so hard then these individual will simply just took money from you. bad Kalma is payback time
As a 40 year IT Engineer brother, I sometimes think tech has become nothing but a vehicle for evil. Then I come across someone like you guys. Bless you for all you do, and my sincere condolences on your loss.
Unfortunately your right, back in the mid 2000's computers became a necessity at the dealership I worked at, so I jumped at the opportunity. Shortly thereafter I was the internet sales manager with an office, one day I was having lunch and decided to see what social media was all about, so I made a MySpace page. To make a long story short I deleted it 6 months later and never went back nor have I ever had a FB either, I found out it wasn't a good idea for a married person or at least for me.
@me only Grifting is a practice as old as time itself. I have no doubt that there were cavemen grifters. But never before has it been easier than in the Techno age. That "town to town" con man you mention never has to leave his house now.
@Michael Fletcher Giuliani knocks on the white house door and Donny answers. Mr President we got the election back that was stolen from you... *Donny Breaks Down*
Like others here, I see this happened 4 years ago and there are thousands of comments, so I have no expectation that you will ever see this, but I wanted to comment anyway. Condolences on your Grandfather; hopefully you have healed enough now that you can enjoy happy memories. God bless you & all the contributors for this miracle gift given to help this sweet woman. This has touched me personally on many levels. Thank you dear Pierogi for your love and concern for our older generation. I don’t have words to express how I feel. Many blessings on your wife & family as well, who do so much behind the scenes for you, so that you can serve so many. ❤️🙏🏻
Wherever your grandfather is, I'm sure that he is looking down on you and is beaming with pride. You have done an amazing and wonderful thing. The world salutes you.
My Grandpa who is now 95, lost his home 7 years ago because of a scammer. He was always such a hard worker, and was middle class, and now they worry if they can buy food, pay rent and get their meds. It makes me absolutely sick. I have received multiple emails lately myself saying that I was charged this crazy amounts, and if I want to cancel, to call. I'm not calling because I know it's a scam. Bless you all for helping these people.
A wonderful thing you and Trilogy Media are doing for this poor, innocent woman, Pierogi. I began sacmbaiting a short time ago after several Senior Citizens in my church family were ripped off by these sub-human pieces of garbage. I've helped more than 50 Seniors in my town to recover their files (after being SYSKEYed) and reset their PC's - at no charge - and I have spoken about scammers on the morning talk radio stations several times. I have learned so much from you (and a few others) and will continue to fight for the elderly until it is stopped! God bless you as you continue the Good Fight!
Those guys locking up a senior's computer and holding it hostage make me so mad. Then they have the gall to act like THEY are the victims. SO disgusting. They always have some bogus reason why it's okay for them to lie and steal. I feel bad for all the decent Indians all over the world that end up suffering embarrassment because of these sorry examples of their country.
If you need an assistant, let me know. I am currently on hiatus from running my local food pantry due to health issues that put me at severe risk. However I am still willing to put in work behind the screen 🙃
What you're doing Tommy is crucial - especially talking about it on the airwaves via the radio stations. I wish local govt would put together a PSA for local TV and radio, even newspapers and local rags, and blast it repeatedly - I've sent many emails, but they remain unreplied by my local representatives here in Arizona, where there is a very large retirement population. It would be such a cheap/effective way to let people know about scams, because most folks, still have no idea they exist. Keep doing what you're doing, it really helps.
Tommy Lawrence god bless brother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This kind of predation is only second to child abuse... I’m a Christian but find it hard to be godly and turn the other cheek. I guess that means I’m human... can’t help but want to turn dark on these people. Truly bothers me about how they prey on the innocent and elderly. Bastards...
Being an Indian citizen, I am so glad that you all are battling the scammers and helping the victims. India owes an apology to all the victims and justice for them. I apologize to all the victims who were scammed by a few people of my country. I am on your side and I will do all that I can to help defeat the scammers.
You shouldnt have to apologize for your Country. There are evil people in every country including America. Its not about where you are from its about the type of person you are. We should all fight these evil people in our everyday lives.
I'm honestly surprised that the U.S. hasn't put sanctions on India, in order to get action going on crackdowns. I get called on average, every single day from "card services" / "account services". Best thing I can do is answer the phone and get them talking. Waste as much of their time as possible.
Don't apologize, brother. You're one of the good ones. As everyone says, there are evil people everywhere. It's the good guys that step up to stop the bad guys and make sure the victims are ok.
Count me in too! 🙋🏾♀️ When she told about her dog needing surgery, that hit so close to home, because our littlest dog had to have surgery a while ago and that's already stressful even under ordinary circumstances. I'm hoping her dog is healthy and healing now, and much love from ours! 🐕♥️🐕
You may never end up seeing this as this video is about a year old and has 7k comments but my heart goes out to you, I nearly broke down in tears watching you trying to hold it together in the beginning of the video. When I lost my Grandpa I was so torn I couldn't even react except silently cry, I didn't even talk. You are such a strong person and I admire you. Your channel has come a long way and mad respect to you for doing what you do. You have changed the lives of so many, your Grandpa would be so, soo proud of you for all of the things you've done and all of the people you've saved and I know Susan will never forget you guys either. Keep being the amazing person you are and I wish nothing but the best for all of you and your channel's. Sending love from the East Coast🤍🤍🤍
My uncle was literally scammed out of his life long house. Power shut off. House taken. This made my day. That people will fight for people like my uncle. He wouldn't listen to us when we told him it was a scam, but he would listen to guys like you.
That's horrible we should start a go fund me for him. I feel horrible for people that get scammed they worked hard for there money it makes me sick to my stomach people have the guts to do this..
@@willreed6985 It's been 2 years now and he lives with his daughter, but thank you for the thought. It is sad he worked so hard his whole life and all he had left to show for it was taken because he couldn't see what they were doing and didn't trust us. I think he was dealing with some dimentia which made him not trust us or something. Ugh. My cousins had to deal with that and try to stop him and it was just heartbreaking because he wouldn't listen.
When Pierogi handed her that card I started crying. Then, when she said she needed $ for an operation for her dog I just fell apart. She is so darling😢 U 3 r guardian angels! My grandmother is 97 and if somebody scammed her the way these scumbags scammed Susan I don’t know what I would do. For you guys to have gone so far as to start a go fund me, fly out to her home, bring her flowers, make her whole monetarily and then offer to secure her computer is just so unbelievably generous, kind, and selfless. All of your moms should be commended for raising such amazing sons. 💯💯 So from one mom in Cleveland I thank u for looking out for the trusting, naïve elderly that are unfortunately being taken advantage of.☮️🙏🏼
I'm an IT student who's currently doing his final year, and I just have to say that you're a hero. I didn't think heroes existed in real life until I came across you and your videos, man. Big ups for what you do for people, you're an inspiration. Your grandfather must be looking down with pride,
I can't imagine the stress and sleepless nights Susan had over those two years! You guys are legit amazing for doing this for that sweet lady. All the best!
Thank you for what you're doing. My friend has a sticker on his hard hat that says "People suck". Not all of them suck. You are proof of that. Bless you for going after those people who really, really do suck. Keep up the great work! Much love. RIP Grandpa Ted and condolences to you Perogie.
My Grandfather passed in 2012. From 2012-2021, I was my Grandmothers sole caretaker, and I battled these scammers day in and day out. She has Dementia, so she never remembered when they came back for her. There was a couple times where they almost got her. One time I came home, and she had her SS card and info on her desktop, ready to hand it over. Thankfully, I got home at the last second. They never ended up getting her. Seeing this hits me deep man, real deep. What you guys are doing with your lives must be so fulfilling. Thank you for protecting our Grandma's. RIP Grandpa, his name was Harvey Bagley, and he was what I know as a Father.
I know this was recorded 2 yrs ago but I still want to say that I'm so sorry you lost your grandpa!! I think what you're doing is incredibly AWESOME!! Thank you!!
I’m sooo sorry about your grandfather that sooo sad 🤗😭😞 He would be so proud of you I’m sure he was😊 I miss my grandmother more than anything😭God bless you and all you do.
When she starts talking about her dog, I just fell apart. Can you imagine, being in this situation and then having to worry about keeping a dog alive, and that’s your companion😭😢😓 People who do this are made of pure evil.
I understand completely how Susan feels. I was scammed out of 8,000 back when I was pregnant with my youngest. As a single mom I couldn't pay my car pmt or rent and ended up homeless. So it's awesome to see you doing this and able to help her get her life savings back. ❤
wow I am so sorry. Ive been watching these videos for years, but I was still scammed out of 400$. We called the credit card company and they canceled the payment. The call center that scammed me was in atlanta. It had american citizens manning the phones. They might not have known they were part of a scam, but they felt free to say I would go to prison if I don't pay. They were american, so I believed them. Always double check. If they say they are with a company, check in to that company. See if the complaint is on your credit report first. Don't give money to those who call you, Always call them.
I got scammed just before Christmas. couldn't pay rent, much less buy gifts. My computer was ruined and I couldn't even afford to get a new one. Now , I hate to sound racist or xenophobic, but when i hear an Indian sounding accent on the phone i just hang up.
@@renerenatorivera9062 Eh. You can listen to what they say, but whatever their accent is if they say you owe them money or that they are going to take money you didn't know was coming or going you know it's a scam. Even your bank won't call you if there's a problem. They send a letter
I know I’m a little late on this video, but I literally had tears in my eyes the whole time , God Bless you and God Bless everyone that helped out this lady, it’s people like you that give me hope for humanity
Me too I came across this channel last night when he was doing a live stream, never have I ever wanted to spend money to join a channel but 15 minutes in that's exactly what I did! Then I come across this video this morning & it makes me feel even better I joined👍
This gets me right through the heart. This is just one lady. I am imagining the thousands of helpless seniors who fall victim to scams. My mom is 83 years old and I have to always try to educate her because she has such a big heart. You guys are making huge steps. Bless you guys.
My mom is 83 as well. I have drilled into her to never ever click on anything she doesn’t recognize, but every once in a while, she does almost get caught, Thank goodness we can look after her. Not everyone has that. Thank goodness for Art, Ashton, and Peirogi. Keep it up guys! I know you can’t save everyone, but you have saved tons of people!
All I have to say is Wow! So sorry about your grandfather falling asleep in death and so glad you helped Susan recover from this very horrible financial scam. Sending love to you and your family.Also, to the teams that help you go get em
This video, reduced me to tears. How lovely you could help Susan. I am also so sorry for your loss of your Grandfather. I lost my father just last November, not long before he passed he was cought out with this type of scam. He was a Policeman all his working life and was so upset that he had fallen victim to this scam. When he admitted that he had been scammed to me, he was crying. they continued to call every day for months afterwards, and lately kept leaving automated messages saying that a sum would be taken from his account. I never answered, all his accounts are closed, i thought as payback, don't tell them, just let them try to take the money from an account that is no longer there. They really hurt my Dad, and I now love watching your videos. I hape he's with me in spirit as I watch them.
"You guys didn't have to go to all this trouble" Susan, you are no trouble, it was wonderful to see you get your money back. Pierogi, so sorry to hear about your loss. You are an amazing inspiration to us all and a grandson to be proud of, your community loves you.❤️👼🙏
What's even more heartbreaking about your grandpa's death was the birthday balloons in the back. RIP grandpa Ted years later and tears are still being shed for you 💙
so sorry for your loss pierogi, i’ve lost both grandparents on my moms side and one on my dads side, as well as my father. it’s never something easy, and knowing how it feels my heart truly goes out to you. all i can say is, i really believe that when someone passes there is nothing left unsaid and everything is understood. no “i should haves”, “i wish thats”, because he has an understanding now greater than any of us. i hope you can find some solace in those words like i have, and always remember the good stuff. i promise you’ll be able to laugh again one day, when you think about him and it won’t always be accompanied with that debilitating defeated feeling of loss. maybe a few tears, but they will be happy tears of remembrance. know it’s you that keeps him here every time you speak his name. sending my sincerest sympathy to you and yours in this difficult time.
Governments are a scam so I mean of course they wouldn't, same with banks. Government and bankers ruin 34, 000 times more life's than scammers ever could.
Dude you are a good man. You can see how much you clearly care about people. I say this from the bottom of my heart " You are a true hero" and I love ya man. You rock. I know this is over a year old but I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It sucks to lose a loved one. I lost my brother at the end of August last year and it has been the hardest death I have even had to endure so I know the pain you felt this day. Be safe man.
I am from India and I sincerely apologize for all the pain caused by these criminals. I feel very hurt and humiliated by these incidents. I know that millions of innocent Indians would feel the same. I had experiences with scammers but I never knew about them looting from abroad and especially the elderly until recently. These incidents are mostly unreported since none files a complaint. I wish Susan all the happiness and good health. Also thank you guys for helping all of us. You guys are doing a wonderful job. The whole of India supports you and cheers for you.
I live in Sweden. I guess there are no complaints from my country. because no authorities seems to care about this crime. At least they didn't some years ago. My 80+ parents were harassed for months by "fake Microsoft"-scammers. My parents never did anything the scammers asked for, but the scammers still kept calling, seemingly just for fun. Called the police several times, they didn't "have an agreement with Indian authorities". Asked the police to at least track'em down so we could scare them off with information, but nope. Sent letters to the swedish authorities for computer inspection and security, they answered they did not deal with things like this and that there where no other authorities that dealt with it either. The Scammers finally called one day when I was at my parents home. After me cursing them in english, with words I always told my children to never ever utter, they finally stopped calling. Mom had become afraid of answering the phone though. So I sat down with my mom in the kitchen and got her to repeat all those ugly words in an angry voice. Another scammer called a year later. Mom wasn't polite.
From someone who was scammed for $7,000, it warms my heart that there were so many people out there willing to help her out. God bless everyone of you.
Pierogi, my family sends so much love to yours on the passing of your Grandfather. We hope the wonderful memories you have of him, the stories you will share and the love you had and still have for each other are a huge comfort to you all at this time. I'm absolutely sure he was proud of you and how you are helping and inspiring others. You and the fantastic guys at TM did an amazing thing here. I'm sure you will do even more amazing things in the future. Much love. X
You guys are freaking awesome!! I cried, I literally cried. I cried for the loss of your pap, I cried for you and I cried for Susan. 50 years old and I’m sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks crying for people I’ve never met. Dude I want to be you! I want to learn what you do. I want to make those scammers pay!! I want to the show them that the rest of the world is done with their nonsense. I want them to feel fear of not knowing how they are going to live with no money. I WANT INVOLVED! If you’re ever looking for a protégé please pick me. If you need someone to knock on a door in Pa, please pick me. There is nothing I hate more in this world than a thief. Please let me help you! I want no pay, I want no fame, no glory. I just want involved and I don’t know how or where to start.
OMG! I did not know you lost your grandpa in July 2020. My dad passed away in March 2020 and my 33 yo son passed away on 17 Dec 18. I am so sorry for your loss! May God give you comfort in your sadness and wrap you in His healing arms.
i have no words to sum up what this video made me feel, i know its 2 years old but you shoiuld all be proud of yourselves, and shout out to all the amazing perople that donated to make this possible, youre all heros in my book
I would love to make a comment, however I’m actually speechless. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for being good, decent human beings. Thank you for helping Susan. That was wonderful, and thank you for sharing that moment. Thank you for looking out for people. Thank you for stopping scammers. I’m thankful that SP & Trilogy exist.
First of all: I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to covid two months ago so I can imagine how you feel. You will get through this, I promise. Your grandpa must be so proud of you! It's amazing what you all accomplished. I'm so happy for Susan, she's such a lovely lady! All the support of this community shows how important your work is and that it's not just some funny videos, like you said in the intro. Damn. You guys are amazing, seriously. Thanks for making the world a better place.
Thank you Pirogi, Art, Ashton & Grizzly for letting us help and be a part of this. So proud of you. Thank you. So sorry about your grandpa. He must have been so very proud of you. What you do is amazing. thank you
Susan you are all of our mother or grandmother. God blessed the world when he gave us you. I'm so sorry that evil man scammed you and how horrifically emotional and life changing his actions were. Thank goodness you now have the money back and it's a bit late now but I hope your precious dog has recovered well from surgery.
This is awesome. It reminds me of the story of the man who was walking along a beach where he found, for whatever reason, thousands of fish that had been stranded in a small pool and were dying. Although not making a dent in the huge number of doomed fish, he just kept picking them up one by one and carrying them back to the sea. When someone said, “why do you do this? You are not making a difference. There’s just so many.” The man turned to the person and said, “it made a difference to that one”, and then picked up another one. Keep it up. Every one person you help, makes a huge difference!
Oh baby, so sorry to hear about your grandpa.💔💔 know that he is proud of you and will always be with you in spirit. I though something was wrong with you at the beginning of the vid. You are one tough cookie. My heart breaks for you. 💔💔 Arthur lives through you! God bless you sweetheart.
Every life is valuable. Look at the huge impact it has helping just 1 victim. This was a Blessing to me as it's written, "It's more Blessed to give than to receive." My condolences to you Pierogi about your grandfather. I'm proud of you, we are proud of you, your grandfather is proud of you, and God is proud of you. Also thanks to Trilogy Media for their help in this also. Thank you Pierogi for your leadership and thanks to the people who contribute in all ways, whether it's donations, or just simply liking and sharing the videos. Everyone's contribution in any form Counts. God Bless you, God Strengthen you, heal, comfort, protect, provide, and give you Wisdom in this fight and in this time you are going through. May the love of Jesus Christ overwhelm you and your family and to all the people. Edit: And a Big thank you to Susan for allowing us to hear her story and to help bring restoration in her life. May God overwhelm her with His Blessings as well.
Banker here, this brings me so much joy! I've been able to stop a few of them...even talked one scammer into leaving the money in the account so we could recall the wire, but this...this right here is true impact! Thanks for all that y'all do!!! ❤️
I was so glad to be a part of this story. I was heartbroken when we first heard Susan's story. This was such a wonderful ending. Now she can have a fresh start. Pierogi, so sorry about your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
This was so wonderful. My dad was scammed £7,000 and it made me very angry as he is a carer for my mum so their savings were wiped out. I think you should make a fund so we can donate into to help others. Some may not get the full amount back but something is better than nothing. Some people survive and move on, others don’t and are left in ruins.
Nothing stopping you from starting up a fund and telling the whole story to gofundme or any of the others crowdfunding sites. Anything you do get will help. £7000 is a rather large amount.
❤💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I have found my way to this video from 3 yrs ago....💜❤️🙏🏾 Your Journey and transition has been Amazing. Your Grandfather would be proud. ❤️💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just came across this channel a couple days ago and you really are incredible. You should be very proud of the work you're doing for these victims. 💕
I got emotional too, Pierogi. I have a very, very soft spot towards the elderly since i was a child. I cried that you gave her another chance perhaps prolonging her life by giving back her money scammed from her. While we give the highest respect to the old, others took advantage of them. Much love from the Philippines.
RIP Grampa Ted !!! I’m a puddle on the floor right now and am shaking because of the goodness in your hearts that you poured out to Susan. I didn’t realize til this video that this video is old, but the message isn’t … be good to each other, protect each other, and if we can, stop people from being harmed. Thank you for taking us along with you on this incredible journey to help Susan, who you didn’t even know. Wow !!! YOU ALL ROCK !!! Big love 💕🙏🏼✨🤟🏽👐🏾🌙🪔🔆💞
I'm sure your grandpa would be so proud of you helping these people so much. My mother was scammed one time and we lost so much money, it was heartbreaking to see how embarrassed and ashamed she was that that happened, thankfully we received our money back but there are so many people out there who haven't been that lucky and it ruins so many lives. Thank you for teaching the people about scams and what they do, hopefully one day we will cut down on the scammers on a larger scale and they will go obsolete
So sry to hear about your grandfather pierogi, im sure hes very proud of everything your doing, may he rest in piece, and this is amazing, keep up the amazing work my man
This just came up on my timeline, I'm glad UA-cam is giving it some movement. 1. I'm so sorry for your loss 2. What you all done for Susan was so precious and gives me a little more faith in humanity. 3. You are an amazing human being 🙏
This was an amazing thing to do. These scammers don't give a hoot about whoever is at the other end of a phone, a laptop etc. Seeing Susan and hearing her story just makes you wanna hit these people harder, right where it hurts and by that I mean in the pocket! Well done everyone involved in this. God bless you all ❤️
Hey P- I feel like I know you well enough to say that you didn’t do this to get “praised” but you deserve it. You’re a good, good person. I’m sure your grandfather is looking down from heaven so proud of you! Keep up the good work buddy...
I can't imagine streaming when there's a death in the family. What a beautiful soul Pierogi has. I know we never get over death, but I hope things are getting lighter for him with time. I know he probably doesn't see many of his messages, but I hope someday when he needs to see this, this message will find him. ❤
This had me in tears. They try and get me at least once a week. I've started trying to wate their time, but my mother almost got pulled in with a debt relief scam. They're getting elderly people's credit reports, finding out who they owe money to and claim to be a senior financial relief company. These people think it's a dream come true only to fall for it and enter a nightmare that just gets worse the more they try and fight it. Thanks you and Triology for doing what you do. You've more than likely saved people in the USA millions of dollars and saved lives. People have committed suicide when the come to the realization all of their savings are gone. Im a victim of identify theft and that was horrible but I couldn't donanything about it. We could stop these scammers in their tracks if we all just educated eachother especially the older people in our lives. If everyone educated one elderly person each we would take billions out of these scammer's pockets.
@@shinraninja You’re right that humans did this. But why do you think that God would stop scammers? Is God obliged to stop every action of evil? If God were to stop you or me every time we wanted to do something evil; would we have free choice? I’m sorry to say, but your conclusion doesn’t logically follow the premise. For free will to exist, evil choices must be an option. And by the way, as an atheist, what does moral evil even mean? Without an objective moral standard outside of humanity there is nothing to justify why something would be evil. Who’s to say that scamming is morally wrong? The scammers? It’s just subjective opinion versus subjective opinion, with no stable grounding. So the fact that you acknowledge evil is one piece of evidence that God must exist.
Why would anyone dislike a video like this. These guys are doing great work to combat these scammers. And they help these helpless people that aren't technically abled.
This made me cry. I feel so emotional about this topic too. Seeing an older person who you love get scammed and feel so humiliated about it, as well as suffering the literal financial repercussions, is such a helpless feeling. My dad is currently (for the second time!) getting scammed by the fake internet security program scammers. They call him daily and scream at him, tell him they're going to call the police on him. My mom got scammed about 10 years ago. It was awful. She saved up for a year to buy me a big ticket gift for my birthday (a piece of machinery I needed to start a business). My birthday came and went, and she kept saying she had bought me something special, but it hadn't arrived. Finally, after weeks, she told me she had wired the money to the people with Western Union because they were abroad. It was absolutely heartbreaking to be to see her understand she had been scammed out of all that money and something she was so excited about doing for her child was ruined. I was and still am so sad about the shame they made her feel. And finally, for a while I rented an apartment on the property of an older woman whom I am very close to. She's like another mother to me. One morning she called me early, waking me, and asked if the house was surrounded by police. I looked out my window and said no. She had been called by someone from the "IRS" who said she had to pay back taxes immediately or else be arrested, as the police were already on their way to her house and would be there in 15 minutes. She fled in her pajamas and was too terrified to come home, even as I insisted it was a scam and the IRS would never do that. She finally returned, and I called the real IRS with her, because that was the only way to calm her down. I despise these horrible, consciousless scammers. The number of innocent people they've hurt makes me weep. There must be millions of people, if I alone know three people I love who have fallen victim to these parasites. You are doing truly good work in the world. Thank you.
Just heard the near first 3 minutes and i was close to cry. RIP Grandpa of this guy who try to protect other non known people. You can truly be proud of such an awesome grandson.
That was so Beautiful and Amazing.. you and everyone else changed her life for better.. To all that gave , pierogi , and Trilogy.. she has thousands of Guardian Angels watching over her now.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ much love
Honestly while these guys' intentions are genuine, they could easily also be another level of scamming. Told her they have $30k and they'll tell her how to access it later. She let them in her house to check her computer, they could have easily been someone nefarious installing more malware to hack her repeatedly. I know Pierogi and the other guys are good hearted and want to help, but it's no wonder why this lady was scammed in the first place. She's too trusting.
@@hammert0es Yeah I saw another one where he called a guy to inform him he was being scammed, and offered to go into his computer and fix it for him, and it just felt weird that there was no way the guy could know if he was another scammer or not. I'd feel so uncomfortable offering to help these people in some of the situations where he does. xD
Orrr...ever see the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?...She and the original scammer are in it together, and they just scammed this channel and the GoFundme account for 30K...lol...Or maybe I watch to many movies!...I don't actually think she is in on it, but who knows...
yeah and something about how they were trying to help her pronounce stuff as she was reading... like, let her read bruh... it just seemed weird edit: i know they arent scamming her inception style like some mentioned lol.. im just saying.. if i gave my grandma a thoughtfully written card i wouldnt have her read it outloud.. and if she did i would wait for her to ask " what does that say " until i fired off " TRILOGY " like a 5 year old /endrant
Just saw this today. Crying. You are so great. Sorry for your loss. So happy that you are helping people . Not many people are computer savvy and understand that there are scammers. Love you and please continue this as long as you can
I just watched y’all and Susan. I’m in tears.You guys are nouthing less than awsome. I got scammed to. It sucks. Thank you for that extra mile. You will forever have a friend in Texas. I would be proud to call y’all brother. B.C.
You and Trilogy are each great on your own. But, something magical happens when you all work together. I'm so sorry about your Gramps. Big hugs to you, Pierogie!!💖💖
Thank you for all you do. You helped me avoid a scam just yesterday. Got a call offering me a program that would help me with my job and I knew it was a scam because of your videos!!!
I'm so sorry for your loss. You gotta know that he's proud of you and the way you help others. God bless you and your friends for doing this for that sweet woman. You've lifted my heart with this today.
I’m just now seeing this video for the first time condolences about your grandfather and I think what you’re doing is absolutely amazing you’re a good dude with a good heart God bless you
Just found your videos and I am so sorry about your grandfather. I was visiting an elderly neighbor one morning when she received a call and immediately went to her PC. I realized it was a scam, got her off the phone, explained what was happening and damn how I wish I had your skills. You're a Saint. ❤
To continue to give back to Susan, check out her gofundme: All proceeds will go monthly into her account. www.gofundme.com/f/help-susan-rebuild
Well done boys!!
In grandpa's name. ( but my name on card)I have donated. Much love and prayers
Deepest condolences to you and your family ❤️. I was happy to help and even happier to see Susan receive her check. Keep up the good fight. God bless you ❤️
Sorry for your loss. I lost all of my grandparents several years ago. I know how you feel.
Blessings to you and yours. ..
If we all can change one life we can die happy...
May ur grampa rest in peace ... he'll be proud of u...

RIP Grandpa Ted. Your grandson is absolute gold, you would be so proud of him.

What it is all about. Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. - James 1:27
He is proud!! He didn't die before all the scamming payback.
Being Indian, I absolutely hate this part of my country. I can't imagine looting some out of their life savings, let alone a retired widowed old lady. Susan is so sweet, and I'm so so proud of what you and trilogy media have done along with your community to help her overcome the turmoil she's been going through for the last 2 years. Heart breaking. India is a good country, it's a beautiful country, but there is an ugly disgusting part of it as well, and I thank you for uncovering it. These scammers must be brought to light. Get a real job, something that helps the community and the world be a better place rather than just stealing money out of innocent people.
Hi Yash, a question for you. Why do you think it is that India, where the understanding of karma originated, produces these people who are willing to commit such terrible crimes for such temporary gains? It just doesn’t make sense to me. Isn’t the awareness of karmic consequences integral to the culture?
Thanks very much for your thoughts on this!
@@sallyjenko2315 Hey Sally! It basically boils down to why crime is committed in general. Poverty, lack of ambition and seeing an easy way out of a difficult situation. India has a population of almost 1.4 billion people with about 86 million living in extreme poverty conditions. While the majority of our citizens, regardless of religion and cultural upbringing, are kind hearted and belive in Karma, but if you pick out a very small percentage, who would be otherwise from the population, the count would still be in millions.
While I believe that majority of the crime that takes place in India can be dissolved by an intervention (most of it is done out of the bare necessity to survive), we will always find the rotten grapes in a basket of gorgeous fruits.
Thank you for understanding the culture of my country!
@@YashChandhok Thanks Yash. That makes a lot of sense. I guess we all forget the truth from time to time.
May all scammers realize that they’re not actually doing themselves any favors!
Yash...you make an excellent point. I would hate if Texas or Italians or English had this bad reputation. We should meet each new person with a blank canvas and let them paint a picture of themselves for our minds instead of having a preconceived notion.
I almost broke down when he dedicated this to his grandfather. Real men do cry! ❤❤
Im from canada and i was also a victim of scammer from India.. When i called and confront them they juat laugh at me and say " im now spending your money here at the mall" very sad. People who is working so hard then these individual will simply just took money from you. bad Kalma is payback time
As a 40 year IT Engineer brother, I sometimes think tech has become nothing but a vehicle for evil. Then I come across someone like you guys. Bless you for all you do, and my sincere condolences on your loss.
Unfortunately your right, back in the mid 2000's computers became a necessity at the dealership I worked at, so I jumped at the opportunity. Shortly thereafter I was the internet sales manager with an office, one day I was having lunch and decided to see what social media was all about, so I made a MySpace page. To make a long story short I deleted it 6 months later and never went back nor have I ever had a FB either, I found out it wasn't a good idea for a married person or at least for me.
@me only Grifting is a practice as old as time itself. I have no doubt that there were cavemen grifters. But never before has it been easier than in the Techno age. That "town to town" con man you mention never has to leave his house now.
@Michael Fletcher Giuliani knocks on the white house door and Donny answers. Mr President we got the election back that was stolen from you... *Donny Breaks Down*
Tech is not the problem, is the evil people who uses tech to do evil things with it. Is this discussting people who corrupts everything they touch.
@Michael Fletcher awe snowflake
Like others here, I see this happened 4 years ago and there are thousands of comments, so I have no expectation that you will ever see this, but I wanted to comment anyway. Condolences on your Grandfather; hopefully you have healed enough now that you can enjoy happy memories. God bless you & all the contributors for this miracle gift given to help this sweet woman. This has touched me personally on many levels. Thank you dear Pierogi for your love and concern for our older generation. I don’t have words to express how I feel. Many blessings on your wife & family as well, who do so much behind the scenes for you, so that you can serve so many. ❤️🙏🏻
Y'all got me crying a year later. Well done, guys. She is up to 48K and that is beyond amazing!
Lol same bruh, that poor sweet lil old lady ❤️
I'm all teared up right now!
Crying too..... January 2022!

"Today, we won"
Yep, and tomorrow you'll do it all again. This has helped restore some of my faith in humanity.
#Preach
Right? There's so many negative things we get shoved in our face (on purpose).
Wherever your grandfather is, I'm sure that he is looking down on you and is beaming with pride. You have done an amazing and wonderful thing. The world salutes you.
AMEN!
And putting in a good word for you upstairs. 😉
My Grandpa who is now 95, lost his home 7 years ago because of a scammer. He was always such a hard worker, and was middle class, and now they worry if they can buy food, pay rent and get their meds. It makes me absolutely sick. I have received multiple emails lately myself saying that I was charged this crazy amounts, and if I want to cancel, to call. I'm not calling because I know it's a scam. Bless you all for helping these people.
A wonderful thing you and Trilogy Media are doing for this poor, innocent woman, Pierogi. I began sacmbaiting a short time ago after several Senior Citizens in my church family were ripped off by these sub-human pieces of garbage. I've helped more than 50 Seniors in my town to recover their files (after being SYSKEYed) and reset their PC's - at no charge - and I have spoken about scammers on the morning talk radio stations several times. I have learned so much from you (and a few others) and will continue to fight for the elderly until it is stopped! God bless you as you continue the Good Fight!
Those guys locking up a senior's computer and holding it hostage make me so mad. Then they have the gall to act like THEY are the victims. SO disgusting. They always have some bogus reason why it's okay for them to lie and steal. I feel bad for all the decent Indians all over the world that end up suffering embarrassment because of these sorry examples of their country.
Thanks for protecting the seniors, we need more of you.
If you need an assistant, let me know.
I am currently on hiatus from running my local food pantry due to health issues that put me at severe risk. However I am still willing to put in work behind the screen 🙃
What you're doing Tommy is crucial - especially talking about it on the airwaves via the radio stations. I wish local govt would put together a PSA for local TV and radio, even newspapers and local rags, and blast it repeatedly - I've sent many emails, but they remain unreplied by my local representatives here in Arizona, where there is a very large retirement population. It would be such a cheap/effective way to let people know about scams, because most folks, still have no idea they exist. Keep doing what you're doing, it really helps.
Tommy Lawrence god bless brother. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. This kind of predation is only second to child abuse... I’m a Christian but find it hard to be godly and turn the other cheek. I guess that means I’m human... can’t help but want to turn dark on these people. Truly bothers me about how they prey on the innocent and elderly. Bastards...
Being an Indian citizen, I am so glad that you all are battling the scammers and helping the victims. India owes an apology to all the victims and justice for them. I apologize to all the victims who were scammed by a few people of my country. I am on your side and I will do all that I can to help defeat the scammers.
You shouldnt have to apologize for your Country. There are evil people in every country including America. Its not about where you are from its about the type of person you are. We should all fight these evil people in our everyday lives.
I'm honestly surprised that the U.S. hasn't put sanctions on India, in order to get action going on crackdowns.
I get called on average, every single day from "card services" / "account services". Best thing I can do is answer the phone and get them talking. Waste as much of their time as possible.
India doesn't owe an apology-just those who are doing these things, nationality doesn't matter.
There is evil people everywhere, and good people everywhere, including India! I love the culture and music there.
Don't apologize, brother. You're one of the good ones. As everyone says, there are evil people everywhere. It's the good guys that step up to stop the bad guys and make sure the victims are ok.
The War on Scammers has officially begun and I'm absolurely here for it.
Me too bro. They messed with the wrong people.
Count me in
Count me in, let the war on these mongrels begin.
There's no stopping them until they are categorized as terrorists and dealt with as such.
Count me in too! 🙋🏾♀️
When she told about her dog needing surgery, that hit so close to home, because our littlest dog had to have surgery a while ago and that's already stressful even under ordinary circumstances.
I'm hoping her dog is healthy and healing now, and much love from ours! 🐕♥️🐕
You may never end up seeing this as this video is about a year old and has 7k comments but my heart goes out to you, I nearly broke down in tears watching you trying to hold it together in the beginning of the video. When I lost my Grandpa I was so torn I couldn't even react except silently cry, I didn't even talk. You are such a strong person and I admire you. Your channel has come a long way and mad respect to you for doing what you do. You have changed the lives of so many, your Grandpa would be so, soo proud of you for all of the things you've done and all of the people you've saved and I know Susan will never forget you guys either. Keep being the amazing person you are and I wish nothing but the best for all of you and your channel's. Sending love from the East Coast🤍🤍🤍

This is very sweet! 💕

My uncle was literally scammed out of his life long house. Power shut off. House taken. This made my day. That people will fight for people like my uncle. He wouldn't listen to us when we told him it was a scam, but he would listen to guys like you.
😱
That's horrible we should start a go fund me for him. I feel horrible for people that get scammed they worked hard for there money it makes me sick to my stomach people have the guts to do this..
@@willreed6985 It's been 2 years now and he lives with his daughter, but thank you for the thought. It is sad he worked so hard his whole life and all he had left to show for it was taken because he couldn't see what they were doing and didn't trust us. I think he was dealing with some dimentia which made him not trust us or something. Ugh. My cousins had to deal with that and try to stop him and it was just heartbreaking because he wouldn't listen.
Aww man.
😪
When Pierogi handed her that card I started crying. Then, when she said she needed $ for an operation for her dog I just fell apart. She is so darling😢 U 3 r guardian angels! My grandmother is 97 and if somebody scammed her the way these scumbags scammed Susan I don’t know what I would do. For you guys to have gone so far as to start a go fund me, fly out to her home, bring her flowers, make her whole monetarily and then offer to secure her computer is just so unbelievably generous, kind, and selfless. All of your moms should be commended for raising such amazing sons. 💯💯 So from one mom in Cleveland I thank u for looking out for the trusting, naïve elderly that are unfortunately being taken advantage of.☮️🙏🏼

I'm an IT student who's currently doing his final year, and I just have to say that you're a hero. I didn't think heroes existed in real life until I came across you and your videos, man. Big ups for what you do for people, you're an inspiration. Your grandfather must be looking down with pride,
Did they call you?
Agreed I think he’s doing gods work it’s awesome
So sorry for your loss, Pierogi. 😔 You are wonderful for helping people like this. Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. 🙏
I can't imagine the stress and sleepless nights Susan had over those two years! You guys are legit amazing for doing this for that sweet lady. All the best!
Thank you for what you're doing. My friend has a sticker on his hard hat that says "People suck". Not all of them suck. You are proof of that. Bless you for going after those people who really, really do suck. Keep up the great work! Much love. RIP Grandpa Ted and condolences to you Perogie.
I have routed 5 of that ten bucks to UA-cam... AHHH hahaha Ahhh -The Villain
My Grandfather passed in 2012. From 2012-2021, I was my Grandmothers sole caretaker, and I battled these scammers day in and day out. She has Dementia, so she never remembered when they came back for her. There was a couple times where they almost got her. One time I came home, and she had her SS card and info on her desktop, ready to hand it over. Thankfully, I got home at the last second. They never ended up getting her. Seeing this hits me deep man, real deep. What you guys are doing with your lives must be so fulfilling. Thank you for protecting our Grandma's. RIP Grandpa, his name was Harvey Bagley, and he was what I know as a Father.
I know this was recorded 2 yrs ago but I still want to say that I'm so sorry you lost your grandpa!! I think what you're doing is incredibly AWESOME!! Thank you!!
I’m sooo sorry about your grandfather that sooo sad 🤗😭😞 He would be so proud of you I’m sure he was😊 I miss my grandmother more than anything😭God bless you and all you do.
When she starts talking about her dog, I just fell apart. Can you imagine, being in this situation and then having to worry about keeping a dog alive, and that’s your companion😭😢😓 People who do this are made of pure evil.
I know it makes me want to smash the scammer in the face with a crowbar after I took his money
Well, for some people it could be a human, not a dog. A relative, a friend. Just found these guys. Deep RESPECT for them.
I understand completely how Susan feels. I was scammed out of 8,000 back when I was pregnant with my youngest. As a single mom I couldn't pay my car pmt or rent and ended up homeless. So it's awesome to see you doing this and able to help her get her life savings back. ❤
Hope you're ok now
wow I am so sorry. Ive been watching these videos for years, but I was still scammed out of 400$. We called the credit card company and they canceled the payment. The call center that scammed me was in atlanta. It had american citizens manning the phones. They might not have known they were part of a scam, but they felt free to say I would go to prison if I don't pay. They were american, so I believed them. Always double check. If they say they are with a company, check in to that company. See if the complaint is on your credit report first. Don't give money to those who call you, Always call them.
@Shae the funny who’re what is wrong with you?
I got scammed just before Christmas. couldn't pay rent, much less buy gifts. My computer was ruined and I couldn't even afford to get a new one. Now , I hate to sound racist or xenophobic, but when i hear an Indian sounding accent on the phone i just hang up.
@@renerenatorivera9062 Eh. You can listen to what they say, but whatever their accent is if they say you owe them money or that they are going to take money you didn't know was coming or going you know it's a scam. Even your bank won't call you if there's a problem. They send a letter
R.I.P to your grandpa and condolences to you and your family. Ughh.. this video was so underrated and you’re such a blessing.
I know I’m a little late on this video, but I literally had tears in my eyes the whole time , God Bless you and God Bless everyone that helped out this lady, it’s people like you that give me hope for humanity
Me too I came across this channel last night when he was doing a live stream, never have I ever wanted to spend money to join a channel but 15 minutes in that's exactly what I did!
Then I come across this video this morning & it makes me feel even better I joined👍

This gets me right through the heart. This is just one lady. I am imagining the thousands of helpless seniors who fall victim to scams. My mom is 83 years old and I have to always try to educate her because she has such a big heart. You guys are making huge steps. Bless you guys.
My mom is 83 as well. I have drilled into her to never ever click on anything she doesn’t recognize, but every once in a while, she does almost get caught, Thank goodness we can look after her. Not everyone has that. Thank goodness for Art, Ashton, and Peirogi. Keep it up guys! I know you can’t save everyone, but you have saved tons of people!
I am just so glad to know that there are more genuine guys like me helping people with our skills and talents.
All I have to say is Wow! So sorry about your grandfather falling asleep in death and so glad you helped Susan recover from this very horrible financial scam. Sending love to you and your family.Also, to the teams that help you go get em
This video, reduced me to tears. How lovely you could help Susan. I am also so sorry for your loss of your Grandfather. I lost my father just last November, not long before he passed he was cought out with this type of scam. He was a Policeman all his working life and was so upset that he had fallen victim to this scam. When he admitted that he had been scammed to me, he was crying. they continued to call every day for months afterwards, and lately kept leaving automated messages saying that a sum would be taken from his account. I never answered, all his accounts are closed, i thought as payback, don't tell them, just let them try to take the money from an account that is no longer there. They really hurt my Dad, and I now love watching your videos. I hape he's with me in spirit as I watch them.
You did your grandfather's legacy proud, man. The best ripples hit all shores, man. This was beautiful. Sincerely beautiful. Well done.
"You guys didn't have to go to all this trouble" Susan, you are no trouble, it was wonderful to see you get your money back. Pierogi, so sorry to hear about your loss. You are an amazing inspiration to us all and a grandson to be proud of, your community loves you.❤️👼🙏
What's even more heartbreaking about your grandpa's death was the birthday balloons in the back. RIP grandpa Ted years later and tears are still being shed for you 💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. He must have been beaming with pride over his grandson. you are the best. thank you for what you do
Speechless I'm speechless. I've cried so hard. Thank God for people like this.
so sorry for your loss pierogi, i’ve lost both grandparents on my moms side and one on my dads side, as well as my father. it’s never something easy, and knowing how it feels my heart truly goes out to you. all i can say is, i really believe that when someone passes there is nothing left unsaid and everything is understood. no “i should haves”, “i wish thats”, because he has an understanding now greater than any of us. i hope you can find some solace in those words like i have, and always remember the good stuff. i promise you’ll be able to laugh again one day, when you think about him and it won’t always be accompanied with that debilitating defeated feeling of loss. maybe a few tears, but they will be happy tears of remembrance. know it’s you that keeps him here every time you speak his name. sending my sincerest sympathy to you and yours in this difficult time.
Your an amazing man sir, I wish governments would fund teams of people like you to do what you do.
@DAN....Unfortunately the gub is only interested in GETTING $$$$ and not helping most citizens.

Dude you are a good man. You can see how much you clearly care about people. I say this from the bottom of my heart " You are a true hero" and I love ya man. You rock. I know this is over a year old but I'm so sorry for the loss of your loved one. It sucks to lose a loved one. I lost my brother at the end of August last year and it has been the hardest death I have even had to endure so I know the pain you felt this day. Be safe man.
I am from India and I sincerely apologize for all the pain caused by these criminals. I feel very hurt and humiliated by these incidents. I know that millions of innocent Indians would feel the same. I had experiences with scammers but I never knew about them looting from abroad and especially the elderly until recently. These incidents are mostly unreported since none files a complaint.
I wish Susan all the happiness and good health.
Also thank you guys for helping all of us. You guys are doing a wonderful job. The whole of India supports you and cheers for you.
Not only shame, these scammers just takes away the credibility of genuine business owners.
These are your people
I live in Sweden. I guess there are no complaints from my country. because no authorities seems to care about this crime.
At least they didn't some years ago.
My 80+ parents were harassed for months by "fake Microsoft"-scammers. My parents never did anything the scammers asked for, but the scammers still kept calling, seemingly just for fun.
Called the police several times, they didn't "have an agreement with Indian authorities". Asked the police to at least track'em down so we could scare them off with information, but nope. Sent letters to the swedish authorities for computer inspection and security, they answered they did not deal with things like this and that there where no other authorities that dealt with it either.
The Scammers finally called one day when I was at my parents home. After me cursing them in english, with words I always told my children to never ever utter, they finally stopped calling.
Mom had become afraid of answering the phone though.
So I sat down with my mom in the kitchen and got her to repeat all those ugly words in an angry voice.
Another scammer called a year later. Mom wasn't polite.
@@Legal_Sweetie333 Criminals exist in your country too.. Will that make you responsible for all their crimes ??!!
Any large group of people has bad people in it. To blame the group is stupid....but humans are pretty stupid.
From someone who was scammed for $7,000, it warms my heart that there were so many people out there willing to help her out. God bless everyone of you.
I'm sorry for your loss 😪😥 Your making him so proud. 🙏 Stay strong brother. Thank you for everything you do.

You guys are freaking awesome!! I cried, I literally cried. I cried for the loss of your pap, I cried for you and I cried for Susan. 50 years old and I’m sitting here with tears rolling down my cheeks crying for people I’ve never met. Dude I want to be you! I want to learn what you do. I want to make those scammers pay!! I want to the show them that the rest of the world is done with their nonsense. I want them to feel fear of not knowing how they are going to live with no money. I WANT INVOLVED! If you’re ever looking for a protégé please pick me. If you need someone to knock on a door in Pa, please pick me. There is nothing I hate more in this world than a thief. Please let me help you! I want no pay, I want no fame, no glory.

This is awesome. It reminds me of the story of the man who was walking along a beach where he found, for whatever reason, thousands of fish that had been stranded in a small pool and were dying. Although not making a dent in the huge number of doomed fish, he just kept picking them up one by one and carrying them back to the sea. When someone said, “why do you do this? You are not making a difference. There’s just so many.” The man turned to the person and said, “it made a difference to that one”, and then picked up another one.
Keep it up. Every one person you help, makes a huge difference!
Oh baby, so sorry to hear about your grandpa.💔💔 know that he is proud of you and will always be with you in spirit. I though something was wrong with you at the beginning of the vid. You are one tough cookie. My heart breaks for you. 💔💔
Arthur lives through you! God bless you sweetheart.
Every life is valuable. Look at the huge impact it has helping just 1 victim. This was a Blessing to me as it's written, "It's more Blessed to give than to receive." My condolences to you Pierogi about your grandfather. I'm proud of you, we are proud of you, your grandfather is proud of you, and God is proud of you. Also thanks to Trilogy Media for their help in this also. Thank you Pierogi for your leadership and thanks to the people who contribute in all ways, whether it's donations, or just simply liking and sharing the videos. Everyone's contribution in any form Counts. God Bless you, God Strengthen you, heal, comfort, protect, provide, and give you Wisdom in this fight and in this time you are going through. May the love of Jesus Christ overwhelm you and your family and to all the people.
Edit: And a Big thank you to Susan for allowing us to hear her story and to help bring restoration in her life. May God overwhelm her with His Blessings as well.
Banker here, this brings me so much joy! I've been able to stop a few of them...even talked one scammer into leaving the money in the account so we could recall the wire, but this...this right here is true impact! Thanks for all that y'all do!!! ❤️
I was so glad to be a part of this story. I was heartbroken when we first heard Susan's story. This was such a wonderful ending. Now she can have a fresh start. Pierogi, so sorry about your loss. Prayers for you and your family.
This was so wonderful. My dad was scammed £7,000 and it made me very angry as he is a carer for my mum so their savings were wiped out. I think you should make a fund so we can donate into to help others. Some may not get the full amount back but something is better than nothing. Some people survive and move on, others don’t and are left in ruins.
My dad was scammed twice. :( I always worry he will fall for it again.
Nothing stopping you from starting up a fund and telling the whole story to gofundme or any of the others crowdfunding sites.
Anything you do get will help. £7000 is a rather large amount.
I hope your family is doing better today
❤💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 I have found my way to this video from 3 yrs ago....💜❤️🙏🏾 Your Journey and transition has been Amazing. Your Grandfather would be proud. ❤️💜🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I just came across this channel a couple days ago and you really are incredible. You should be very proud of the work you're doing for these victims. 💕
Well said.
same. just found him. love it.
I agree! Wonderful!
you guys are so amazing!!!!! Kudos for you Not for KUDO

@ B-art design
Lol. Well said.
I got emotional too, Pierogi. I have a very, very soft spot towards the elderly since i was a child. I cried that you gave her another chance perhaps prolonging her life by giving back her money scammed from her.
While we give the highest respect to the old, others took advantage of them. Much love from the Philippines.
oh look fellow filipino hello i feel the same
Sad that elders are supposed to be the wise, yet are the most gullible.
You guys have returned my faith in humanity. Thank you to you and those working to look out for the vulnerable. You are a gift to society. Thank you!!
I agree with you. Sorry for his papa & love that this community came together to donate the money to her. Kudos to all
I am so happy and proud of you and Trilogy Media for coming to this woman’s rescue. This is our first win and I pray many more will follow!
The sad thing is there’s more out there some you can’t go to
I proud of your work.
RIP Grampa Ted !!! I’m a puddle on the floor right now and am shaking because of the goodness in your hearts that you poured out to Susan. I didn’t realize til this video that this video is old, but the message isn’t … be good to each other, protect each other, and if we can, stop people from being harmed. Thank you for taking us along with you on this incredible journey to help Susan, who you didn’t even know. Wow !!! YOU ALL ROCK !!! Big love 💕🙏🏼✨🤟🏽👐🏾🌙🪔🔆💞
I'm sure your grandpa would be so proud of you helping these people so much. My mother was scammed one time and we lost so much money, it was heartbreaking to see how embarrassed and ashamed she was that that happened, thankfully we received our money back but there are so many people out there who haven't been that lucky and it ruins so many lives. Thank you for teaching the people about scams and what they do, hopefully one day we will cut down on the scammers on a larger scale and they will go obsolete
R.I.P. to grandpa Ted, this person is helping so many people to not get scammed. Keep it going!
It takes a real man to show emotion to the Masses, what you do for folks around you is out of this world. RIP Grandpa Payback.
So sry to hear about your grandfather pierogi, im sure hes very proud of everything your doing, may he rest in piece, and this is amazing, keep up the amazing work my man
I just cried the whole video. 😭Such a beautiful thing that y’all are doing. RIP Grandpa Ted
I’m just seeing these amazing guys tonight for the first time..Like you they had me in tears as well
This just came up on my timeline, I'm glad UA-cam is giving it some movement. 1. I'm so sorry for your loss 2. What you all done for Susan was so precious and gives me a little more faith in humanity. 3. You are an amazing human being 🙏
To get on here the day you lost your granddad has to be hard. Doing something wonderful and honoring him is beautiful
This was an amazing thing to do. These scammers don't give a hoot about whoever is at the other end of a phone, a laptop etc. Seeing Susan and hearing her story just makes you wanna hit these people harder, right where it hurts and by that I mean in the pocket! Well done everyone involved in this. God bless you all ❤️
I'd be happy to smack one right in the face after watching the pain and suffering they cause.
@@pattierotondo1108, I'd be happy to put a bullet or more between the eyes of scammers.......I mean thieving criminals.
Hey P- I feel like I know you well enough to say that you didn’t do this to get “praised” but you deserve it. You’re a good, good person. I’m sure your grandfather is looking down from heaven so proud of you! Keep up the good work buddy...
It's impossible to watch this video without being teary eyed. You are all angels in disguise. Stay Blessed always.
I can't imagine streaming when there's a death in the family. What a beautiful soul Pierogi has.
I know we never get over death, but I hope things are getting lighter for him with time.
I know he probably doesn't see many of his messages, but I hope someday when he needs to see this, this message will find him. ❤
This had me in tears. They try and get me at least once a week. I've started trying to wate their time, but my mother almost got pulled in with a debt relief scam. They're getting elderly people's credit reports, finding out who they owe money to and claim to be a senior financial relief company. These people think it's a dream come true only to fall for it and enter a nightmare that just gets worse the more they try and fight it.
Thanks you and Triology for doing what you do. You've more than likely saved people in the USA millions of dollars and saved lives. People have committed suicide when the come to the realization all of their savings are gone. Im a victim of identify theft and that was horrible but I couldn't donanything about it. We could stop these scammers in their tracks if we all just educated eachother especially the older people in our lives. If everyone educated one elderly person each we would take billions out of these scammer's pockets.
Sorry for the lost of your grandfather but he left behind a good grandson. You did a great think helping Susan out.
THANK YOU GRANDPA.You helped mold a true legend, AND A great human
You are so worth it Susan! Thank you God for these Good Guys! Susan is so right, " When you know you know."
god did nothing - if god existed he wouldnt let scammers do this :) humans did this
Yes thank you God 🙏
@@shinraninja You’re right that humans did this. But why do you think that God would stop scammers? Is God obliged to stop every action of evil? If God were to stop you or me every time we wanted to do something evil; would we have free choice? I’m sorry to say, but your conclusion doesn’t logically follow the premise. For free will to exist, evil choices must be an option. And by the way, as an atheist, what does moral evil even mean? Without an objective moral standard outside of humanity there is nothing to justify why something would be evil. Who’s to say that scamming is morally wrong? The scammers? It’s just subjective opinion versus subjective opinion, with no stable grounding. So the fact that you acknowledge evil is one piece of evidence that God must exist.
Then technically, you'd have to thank god for the bad guys too. But yeah, these guys are great.
If that's true, why do you think it would answer prayers... nothing adds up! Admit it,
Why would anyone dislike a video like this. These guys are doing great work to combat these scammers. And they help these helpless people that aren't technically abled.
I was just wondering the same thing 😖
@@MyNatasha1982 Me too!
This made me cry. I feel so emotional about this topic too. Seeing an older person who you love get scammed and feel so humiliated about it, as well as suffering the literal financial repercussions, is such a helpless feeling. My dad is currently (for the second time!) getting scammed by the fake internet security program scammers. They call him daily and scream at him, tell him they're going to call the police on him. My mom got scammed about 10 years ago. It was awful. She saved up for a year to buy me a big ticket gift for my birthday (a piece of machinery I needed to start a business). My birthday came and went, and she kept saying she had bought me something special, but it hadn't arrived. Finally, after weeks, she told me she had wired the money to the people with Western Union because they were abroad. It was absolutely heartbreaking to be to see her understand she had been scammed out of all that money and something she was so excited about doing for her child was ruined. I was and still am so sad about the shame they made her feel. And finally, for a while I rented an apartment on the property of an older woman whom I am very close to. She's like another mother to me. One morning she called me early, waking me, and asked if the house was surrounded by police. I looked out my window and said no. She had been called by someone from the "IRS" who said she had to pay back taxes immediately or else be arrested, as the police were already on their way to her house and would be there in 15 minutes. She fled in her pajamas and was too terrified to come home, even as I insisted it was a scam and the IRS would never do that. She finally returned, and I called the real IRS with her, because that was the only way to calm her down. I despise these horrible, consciousless scammers. The number of innocent people they've hurt makes me weep. There must be millions of people, if I alone know three people I love who have fallen victim to these parasites. You are doing truly good work in the world. Thank you.
Just heard the near first 3 minutes and i was close to cry. RIP Grandpa of this guy who try to protect other non known people. You can truly be proud of such an awesome grandson.
That was so Beautiful and Amazing.. you and everyone else changed her life for better.. To all that gave , pierogi , and Trilogy.. she has thousands of Guardian Angels watching over her now.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ much love
This poor woman is so confused and doesn’t even know if she can trust the guys at the door.
Honestly while these guys' intentions are genuine, they could easily also be another level of scamming. Told her they have $30k and they'll tell her how to access it later. She let them in her house to check her computer, they could have easily been someone nefarious installing more malware to hack her repeatedly. I know Pierogi and the other guys are good hearted and want to help, but it's no wonder why this lady was scammed in the first place. She's too trusting.
@@hammert0es Yeah I saw another one where he called a guy to inform him he was being scammed, and offered to go into his computer and fix it for him, and it just felt weird that there was no way the guy could know if he was another scammer or not. I'd feel so uncomfortable offering to help these people in some of the situations where he does. xD
Orrr...ever see the film Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?...She and the original scammer are in it together, and they just scammed this channel and the GoFundme account for 30K...lol...Or maybe I watch to many movies!...I don't actually think she is in on it, but who knows...
@@hammert0es Holy crap, I thought the same thing, especially when he pulled out the phone with the GoFund.Me on it.
yeah and something about how they were trying to help her pronounce stuff as she was reading... like, let her read bruh... it just seemed weird
edit: i know they arent scamming her inception style like some mentioned lol.. im just saying.. if i gave my grandma a thoughtfully written card i wouldnt have her read it outloud.. and if she did i would wait for her to ask " what does that say " until i fired off " TRILOGY " like a 5 year old /endrant
This is beautiful. Also, I know I'm very late, but I'm sorry for the loss of your grandpa. Love and prayers Pierogi and thank you for all you all do
Just saw this today. Crying. You are so great. Sorry for your loss. So happy that you are helping people . Not many people are computer savvy and understand that there are scammers. Love you and please continue this as long as you can
I'M not crying, YOU'RE crying!!! *weeps from faith in humanity being restored*
Oh yes brave tears ...I am crying
I just watched y’all and Susan. I’m in tears.You guys are nouthing less than awsome. I got scammed to. It sucks. Thank you for that extra mile. You will forever have a friend in Texas. I would be proud to call y’all brother. B.C.
You and Trilogy are each great on your own. But, something magical happens when you all work together.
I'm so sorry about your Gramps. Big hugs to you, Pierogie!!💖💖
Thank you for all you do. You helped me avoid a scam just yesterday. Got a call offering me a program that would help me with my job and I knew it was a scam because of your videos!!!
I'm so pleased that she still had that tiny flicker of trust in human nature and now you guys have helped her to heal and trust again 🥰
I'm so sorry for your loss. You gotta know that he's proud of you and the way you help others. God bless you and your friends for doing this for that sweet woman. You've lifted my heart with this today.
I’m just now seeing this video for the first time condolences about your grandfather and I think what you’re doing is absolutely amazing you’re a good dude with a good heart God bless you
The world needs more people this excited to help a random stranger. Rest in peace grandpa, your grandson who is named after a food os a great man.
Just found your videos and I am so sorry about your grandfather. I was visiting an elderly neighbor one morning when she received a call and immediately went to her PC. I realized it was a scam, got her off the phone, explained what was happening and damn how I wish I had your skills. You're a Saint. ❤
