Thanks for watching! I’m leaving the US to film a ton of exciting new content for you all in Europe, but in the meantime, I hope you find this video informative and interesting. Thanks for all your amazing support, as always 💛
I am a naturally suspicious person who goes out of my way to stay informed. I had a scammer try to con me with a tax bill. All I had to do was ask which office of the IRS they were calling from and to give me their number so I could call them back, and they hung up on me, never to be heard from again. Sometimes a little bit of knowledge and composure can help you avoid a lot of trouble.
I did near enough the exact same thing, but I was 13 at the time and I only questioned it because earlier that day we had a police officer come into my school to give a talk about phone scammers. I am so relieved I actually listened to the lecture that day and took note. Scary to think how gullible I was back then and a day sooner, I probably would've given away so many personal details and such.
Pls do a video on all types of scams, not just internet scams. Like pyramid schemes and hotel booking scams, Aria. One time a hotel called me and told me I won a free stay in their resort hotel, any branch! All I got to do is go there and watch the presentation. Im a very pessimistic person and I immediately knew this was a scam. They kept calling and calling me for 3 weeks non stop and I kept trolling them. They got frustrated. "Don't you want the free stay? When are you gonna come?"
Aria I work in banking and I see the other side of phone scams, it’s impact on people, genuinely can ruin lives not just financially but mentally, so many times I’ve cried myself at the impact of this after the customer has left - all ages affected, all genders, so horrible. Thankyou for sharing I learnt something!
Wow ... To randomly have $46k laying around to pay off at a moments notice and lose it all like that .. super sad. These scammers are working harder than usual these days. Thanks for the video!
I was scammed (although I stopped it in time) and yes, I should’ve known better because I follow this and also just generally but scammers know jargon (just as the Ex-Scammer) that are mentioned to avert suspicion.
I really enjoyed this video! Good on him for speaking out and he’s 100% right, you can buy off pretty much anyone in those countries which is so scary to think about. Even if scams will never be under control, I hope more people become more aware and educated on the situation. Hope your enjoying your travels, Aria. As always, much love.
Jim browning is amazing! I watched all his vids! It was crazy I got one of those things on my computer and because I learned about it i knew what to do! If I didn’t I probably would’ve clicked it. So thanks for getting this message out there, and highlighting these scams!So important!
8:22 I was shocked to know that Kolkata/Calcutta, a city that I love is a hub of scamming. It is indeed sad news that this is a step short of a legitimate industry. P.S. I think it’s prevalent because of corruption, faulty laws and quick money.
Even though the guy is helping people now I still can't get myself to watch this video entirely, It honestly boils my blood. You're a great person for sitting down and talking to this mole
I fell for a scam… I was only a few hundreds into it before I caught on but some of these scammers are so good and make it so believable that you have no problem handing over money, if money you need for something else. Mine was for what I thought was a work from home job. They asked for money up front for equipment and shipping so I paid. They said they need money up front for software so I paid. But they kept asking for more and more before I was like… the reason I’m doing this is cuz I need money, need another job. Why are they continuously asking for money? So I caught on but took longer than I ever thought I’d get into something like that.
I received a bunch of the Canadian ones he’s referring to. But being in Quebec, the official identity the scammers were spoofing as didn’t have jurisdiction 😅
It won't stop scum bags contacting you via the phone or computer but a VPN does make a difference when they CONNECT to your computer via remote viewing software like TeamViewer (which a lot of scammers do). I remember when I first started scambaiting, experienced scambaiters would tell me to use a VPN.
These phone scammers are as difficult to get rid of as cockroaches. I use an app to block them, so far so good. What's really peeving me now, is I keep having to replace my debit card (including this week) because of hackers getting into my account. I don't give out my info, I'm extremely cautious with how I use my financials, yet still I get hacked. Keep up the awesome work, Aria!
@@auroraboobiealice6352 also don't do that, that's just as bad.... Have a password and keep it. Only change passwords when there's a suspicious activity in your account. The more passwords you, the more it's easier for fishers to get a hold of password.

And yeah, no doubt

That's a time share pitch.
I always tell senior citizens not to fall for these scams.

yes thnx to the great gov. we have in west bengal....... i think the least action taken against scams is in West Bengal
No surprised there
I’m so happy to see a new video on a Saturday, just as God intended. I have missed videos from this channel so much.

This is also fake
@@luvely1062 oh lol
I'm constantly getting scam calls they r wasting their time they r getting nothing from me

Plz kindly make a video on The franklin scandal 1993 so many people should know about this hidden conspiracy of silence as well.
I think this is the same Casey that Pleasant Green had that whole story with
I receive these text calls at least 30 a day
great interveiew thanks so much but its true the goverment is never doing enough and many are invovled
think your being a bit disingenuous as i doubt having any vpn will stop scum bags contacting on phone or computer.

Change all of your passwords. You're not hacked, people just know your passwords.
@@blowc1612 TY
I wish it was that easy. I'm one of those people that regularly change my passwords.
@@auroraboobiealice6352 also don't do that, that's just as bad.... Have a password and keep it. Only change passwords when there's a suspicious activity in your account. The more passwords you, the more it's easier for fishers to get a hold of password.
@@auroraboobiealice6352 changing passwords frequently, is only for your work accounts not personal.
@@blowc1612 um, my password has nothing to do with my account situation. TY
