Prahalad is a piece of excrement stealing from elderly Americans. It makes me sick to think of how hard my parents worked for their money. My father was a ship fitter. He got up at 5:30 every morning to go to work. My mother a nurse who hurt her back catching a huge overweight man (not a patient just a visitor) who had fainted. To think of people heartless enough to take from elderly people makes me livid. This made me happy too.
When the scammer asked if she lives alone or with family and "granny" said she lives alone, he then replied "good". So there's no chance of a family member to walk by and tell granny that she's being scammed. What a monster! I'm so glad you're doing this and exposing them! :)
I heard the answer "good!" too, but it seemed to be in a different, deeper voice, so I thought it might be the american saying it to show us wha the indian's motif was.

My 84 year old mother was scammed out of $16,000 from these a-holes. She was so ashamed of herself, felt so dumb...it was awful. Keep up the good work and make more scammer tears.

@@hristobaiov6669 basically someone calls pretending to be a high ranking officer and says the phone number is suspected of being involved in crimes. Then they get the person to give them the info about their family and phone numbers. They have the kidnapped person go somewhere like a hotel or cyber cafe and then call the relatives telling them they have them kidnapped. And that is when they ask for money, to give back the peson even though they are just being held up by the phone call.
@@fusefrank6006 If you're asking what type of skills it takes to do this - know the 1st thing about hacking/cracking.... Dont use someone else's craft - create your own (learn how to code, & apply that knowledge to something unique) - be creative, dont be a script kiddie. But asking what type of skills it takes is like asking someone how a watch works - too much typing.
I loved this one! Someone tried to scam my parents. The lady at Walmart talked my Mom out of getting the gift cards, telling her it was a scam. Employee of the Year!!!!
It’s good that someone helped! I work at a grocery story, and anytime a customer buys a high amount of prepaid or gift cards, we’ll try to ask them a couple questions to make sure they don’t get scammed. It’s quite unfortunate that so many people get scammer
I had someone try to do this with my mom, once. Claimed to be from the police and kept telling her that her social security number was found in a car that had heroin in the trunk, and that she needed to buy some gift cards and send them to him or she would go to jail. Fortunately I found out what she was doing and managed to stop her in time, and called the real police. The police officer had a good laugh on the phone with the guy, who stayed on the line for a good ten minutes.
@@richardhill5792 Walmart policy (I used to be front end manager) requires us to ask certain questions when multiple gift card purchases are made.. especially if they're at the max amount ($500).
I did a project on spreading awareness for scam calls. Always happy to share tips to save people potentially from losing thousands. Here are some good questions to ask yourself to decide if it's a scam; 1. Are they wanting an immediate payment over the phone, with vague threats about what happens if you don't pay? If yes, likely a scam. 2. Are they wanting payment in a specific form (gift cards, mail, etc.), rather than giving you multiple options such as card, cash, paypal, and bank, etc.? If yes, likely a scam. 3. Are they making vague threats over what will happen to you / your account if you don't immediately pay? If yes, likely a scam. 4. Are they getting annoyed or angry when you ask for further details, rather than immediately accepting you should pay? If yes, likely a scam. 5. Hooray; you won something! But are they wanting you to pay in order to access what you won? If yes, likely a scam. And lastly, if you're EVER unsure or confused about what's going on and it seems like you owe money or need to pay something over the phone, always immediately hang up and call the official support number for the business they claim to be. Example: if someone calls from your bank saying you overdrafted and owe fees, hang up and look up the real number for your bank. Call them to check the status of the account so you're able to verify if it's actually true. Hanging up will cost you nothing because you will always be able to call the official number back to fix the problem. If it's a real problem, and not a scam, then you will still be able to call and fix it.

I was in Walgreens the other week and the old lady in front of me was buying gift cards and was having difficulty. The cashier asked her if anyone asked her to buy them. She said no. The cashier and her manager spoke with her just to make sure. I'm glad their employees are starting to pick up on this stuff.
Last week I bought a $100 gift card in Walgreens for my sister. A stranger in line behind me asked me if someone had asked me to buy it to pay a bill. Nice of him, wasn't it, to be worried about me being victimized in a scam. Nice people in this world.
I was behind a woman at Walmart who was buying $1,000 in Steam cards. The cashier was politely asking questions...I flat asked her "You have never met this 'fiancée' you are sending these to, have you? You've only texted him, right?" She asked how I knew. Cashier, manager, and I all told her it was a scam.
@@blacksho89 Good for you, Kevin! You are smart, and you have a good heart to care. Good man! Did the woman back off and stop buying the gift cards? In my case, when someone in the store asked me about a gift card, I really was buying it for my sister -- but I thanked and appreciated the person who asked me, as she was trying to protect me.
@@anthony5227 I was scammed by what I thought was my bank, phoning me to ask for my pin number etc. etc. Yes I hear you saying aaaaah no, you fell for that!! It was years ago and things are different now. Unfortunately it has happened to me today in fact, so twice in 20 years is enough. I am closing my internet banking.
The problem is that this is not scalable, we need a real solution that can affect whole operations or many people in one go. One person can only stop one scammer, one hour at a time. Not scalable, but entertaining
@@ssssss-wu1dg firstly, these centres are densely located not only in India, but in Pakistan, Afghanistan and other southe Asian countries. Secondly, in india due to high population density law enforcement on each person is way too tedious. Thus, these centres hides as "offices" while they operate. However, the government organises raids to shut down these centres. Large population really does wonders haha
@@ssssss-wu1dg that's is well known among locals. But personally I am Indian and in the mega cities there is such a large number of these that only 2-3 are common knowledge among locals rest are hidden under the mask of offices. In abandoned office buildings or in functioning buildings
Love this the granny deleting the scammers file! I am a senior that was scammed through Facebook even though I tried to complain over and over and the never did anything! I can not stand Facebook they have a lot of scams so I deleted it. They are a big problem of people getting scammed!!!!
@@gaurangbhide5962 I wonder why there are so many Indians doing it. I understand a lot of people don't have a lot money and it has a high population, but it seems so skewed.
Scammers took around $300,000 from my late Uncle. He had just been kicked off his own property by his abusive and gold-digging wife, and he'd had multiple strokes, so he didn't always think clearly. The scammers posed as a woman on a dating website, and since he was vulnerable, kind-hearted, and kinda naive, whenever they asked him for money, he always gave it to them. It got so bad that he had to ask his youngest sister (My mother), whom he was already staying with, for money. And unfortunately, late last year, my Uncle committed s**cide. Likely due to a multitude of different stressful situations on his shoulders, including having lost almost all his money to a woman he'd never even met, and having had another stroke. All of this while he still was receiving hateful and abusive texts and emails from his ex-wife, telling him to kill himself and that she hoped he'd have another stroke. So let's just say that watching these scammers get what they deserve has become my new favourite kind of therapy
Don't worry , as universe says , I am gonna became pm of India and iam gonna teach these bastards a lesson .i'll try to refund all scammed money back to people ,with "Sorry world" campaign , and behalf of all Indians , I would like to say "Sorry 🙏",now.

@@ToldenChristus i think he means that he is indian too(scammer is also indian obv) and he/they also don't approve these scams and they're ashamed of these scammers
@@yuvenation6829 "I have a certain set of skills... skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."
Just found you and i just want to say thank you for sticking up for all of us, especially for the elderly population. When my papa died, they called my grandmother all the time and I lived with her so I told her just bring me the phone. They're disgusting.
I loved when he deleted all the files saying he has a specific set of skills. My husband's grandpa had to have his operating system reinstalled several times. He had a similar set of skills apparently!
I like how even after it was revealed what you did, you never broke character. That's really smart because if he still believes you're an elderly woman named Vivian, then he'll likely think twice about preying on the elderly again. Where as if you revealed yourself to actually be a relatively young guy, then he might still prey on the elderly, thinking that REAL old people wouldn't be capable of doing what you did.
On the other hand, if he revealed himself, then the scammer would be afraid that any elderly sounding person he talks to is actually a young dude in disguise.
Hoax hotel is another decent one. That guy mainly wastes as much of their time as possible sometimes over months at a time. This guy really hits them where it hurts fairly quickly
So your faith in humanity comes from the idea that some people lower themselves to a scammer’s level simply for (1) UA-cam views, and (2) your sense of vengeance?
When he was talkin to 'Babu', he was actually talking to his son. Being an Indian I am so ashamed of these scammers. Go harder on them next time. Tell them that you have installed a virus on their computer. They need to be stopped
Hey dude! Just want to say I really appreciate what you do. My grandma was scammed out of almost $100,000. Grandpa knew nothing about it. She had to do the gift cards, pictures; the whole nine yards. My aunt took her phone and computer. She was absolutely astounded on how relentless these people are. She said grandma’s phone had almost 200 missed calls by the end of the day. We’re getting it sorted out and my grandparents are doing much better. Glad youre taking out the trash! Keep it up!
@@johnnymartinez2917 lol believe me the thought did run through my head. Incredibly frustrating for sure. The fact that you're really kind of helpless against these people when you start turning stones over and see how bad the damage really is. My aunt was trying to cancel grandmas cell service to cut off communication. They basically took over her cell phone plan and Sprint couldn`t do anything with her account. I don't really know what scammers grandma got involved with, but it wasn`t some softy like the scammer in this vid.

"You're trying to steal 25000 dollars, and you're worried about a couple files, well you're actually worried about like tens of thousands of files, but still." Holy crap I almost pissed myself laughing.
My mom was scammed into sending $5,000 cash to "help her granddaughter". But, fortunately mom called me after mailing it and I was able to retrieve the money before it left the UPS store. These scammers are evil! THANK YOU FOR FIGHTING THEM!
Did you get message on twitter from someone....for example when you follow a people who have a dog in profile or like animals, and some person with dog in profile sends a message...How are etc...later where do you live, how old are you, where you work etc.
He asks "granny" if she lives alone or with her family and when "granny" says that she lives alone, he says "that's good". That guy is a real piece of crap.
I hate the way the scammer calls the perceived mark “Granny.” He does it with an edge of superiority. For that alone he deserves to lose all his files.
A lot of honest, Asian, retailers, use words like "Dear" and "Honey" when dealing with overseas clients. It may sound insincere, patronizing, or even insulting, to Westerners, but, in fact, they are using terms they would use amongst themselves. It is a generic term to them (e.g., children call any woman who takes care of them, "auntie," even if they aren't related, even for babysitters, etc.).
SKAIZUN, yeah but he's talking to an American now, trying to scam one. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He's trying to earn her trust. Here, calling her Granny is condeacending, and even there, the term weakens a woman's power psychologically. So let him call her Granny, it's a dead giveaway, but here. It's offensive and insults a woman she he's trying to get her goodwill and her money. It's, to up to "her" to play on HIS playing field.
When I saw he actually deletes the files and in one he talks hindi to them. It's incredible. I'm so sick of scammers. I used to think 'who on earth falls for this?' but people do and millions are lost to scammers every year. I ask them if their mother is proud. But maybe that doesn't work for these people.
He was so sorry at the end, that he didn't get to scam you(also has to tell his boss and 800 coworkers that a old lady hacked his computer and deleted his files).
@@fordrscosworth I thought so but he must have figured out some way to do it without needing to in those apps Definitely interesting how he manages it though

@@HtheKing if they get access to your computer screen that’s all they need, and the victim on the other side can’t see what the scammer is doing on the computer, it looks completely fine on their end as if nothing is happening

@420 Friendly 99% of actual hacking consists of tricking people into believing you work for their IT department and giving you their TeamViewer numbers. There's very little buffer overflows and whatnot.
@Dan Gonzalez What's with the hate on Josh? He only posted '100' and you're calling him stupid...meanwhile 'you're' the one with spelling errors. Did you purposely just look for someone to hate on for no reason?
My friend lost 17k to an African scammer. I couldn’t believe he was so stupid to get caught by such an obvious scam. I even told him it was scam. But he said that i was “blocking his blessings” I’ve always looked at him funny since
this guy got RUINNNED.. I'm glad there are people fighting the scammers!! no one deserves what scammers do to people.. this guy was happy this old lady lived alone...

You’d have to be dumb. These scammers only exist because stupid ppl fall for their dumb tricks.
@@juanluispulidomorales4318 What how did that happen?
@@hristobaiov6669 basically someone calls pretending to be a high ranking officer and says the phone number is suspected of being involved in crimes. Then they get the person to give them the info about their family and phone numbers. They have the kidnapped person go somewhere like a hotel or cyber cafe and then call the relatives telling them they have them kidnapped. And that is when they ask for money, to give back the peson even though they are just being held up by the phone call.

Do they carry warnings to try to protect people?
It’s good that someone helped!
I work at a grocery story, and anytime a customer buys a high amount of prepaid or gift cards, we’ll try to ask them a couple questions to make sure they don’t get scammed. It’s quite unfortunate that so many people get scammer
I had someone try to do this with my mom, once. Claimed to be from the police and kept telling her that her social security number was found in a car that had heroin in the trunk, and that she needed to buy some gift cards and send them to him or she would go to jail. Fortunately I found out what she was doing and managed to stop her in time, and called the real police.
The police officer had a good laugh on the phone with the guy, who stayed on the line for a good ten minutes.
@@richardhill5792 Walmart policy (I used to be front end manager) requires us to ask certain questions when multiple gift card purchases are made.. especially if they're at the max amount ($500).
I'm 70 years old. I hope I never fall for one of these. You carry on, you young legends.
I did a project on spreading awareness for scam calls. Always happy to share tips to save people potentially from losing thousands.
Here are some good questions to ask yourself to decide if it's a scam;
1. Are they wanting an immediate payment over the phone, with vague threats about what happens if you don't pay? If yes, likely a scam.
2. Are they wanting payment in a specific form (gift cards, mail, etc.), rather than giving you multiple options such as card, cash, paypal, and bank, etc.? If yes, likely a scam.
3. Are they making vague threats over what will happen to you / your account if you don't immediately pay? If yes, likely a scam.
4. Are they getting annoyed or angry when you ask for further details, rather than immediately accepting you should pay? If yes, likely a scam.
5. Hooray; you won something! But are they wanting you to pay in order to access what you won? If yes, likely a scam.
And lastly, if you're EVER unsure or confused about what's going on and it seems like you owe money or need to pay something over the phone, always immediately hang up and call the official support number for the business they claim to be. Example: if someone calls from your bank saying you overdrafted and owe fees, hang up and look up the real number for your bank. Call them to check the status of the account so you're able to verify if it's actually true. Hanging up will cost you nothing because you will always be able to call the official number back to fix the problem. If it's a real problem, and not a scam, then you will still be able to call and fix it.

I was in Walgreens the other week and the old lady in front of me was buying gift cards and was having difficulty. The cashier asked her if anyone asked her to buy them. She said no. The cashier and her manager spoke with her just to make sure. I'm glad their employees are starting to pick up on this stuff.
Last week I bought a $100 gift card in Walgreens for my sister. A stranger in line behind me asked me if someone had asked me to buy it to pay a bill. Nice of him, wasn't it, to be worried about me being victimized in a scam. Nice people in this world.

Scammers took around $300,000 from my late Uncle. He had just been kicked off his own property by his abusive and gold-digging wife, and he'd had multiple strokes, so he didn't always think clearly. The scammers posed as a woman on a dating website, and since he was vulnerable, kind-hearted, and kinda naive, whenever they asked him for money, he always gave it to them.
It got so bad that he had to ask his youngest sister (My mother), whom he was already staying with, for money.
And unfortunately, late last year, my Uncle committed s**cide. Likely due to a multitude of different stressful situations on his shoulders, including having lost almost all his money to a woman he'd never even met, and having had another stroke.
All of this while he still was receiving hateful and abusive texts and emails from his ex-wife, telling him to kill himself and that she hoped he'd have another stroke.
So let's just say that watching these scammers get what they deserve has become my new favourite kind of therapy
Don't worry , as universe says , I am gonna became pm of India and iam gonna teach these bastards a lesson .i'll try to refund all scammed money back to people ,with "Sorry world" campaign , and behalf of all Indians , I would like to say "Sorry 🙏",now.

I like how even after it was revealed what you did, you never broke character. That's really smart because if he still believes you're an elderly woman named Vivian, then he'll likely think twice about preying on the elderly again. Where as if you revealed yourself to actually be a relatively young guy, then he might still prey on the elderly, thinking that REAL old people wouldn't be capable of doing what you did.
On the other hand, if he revealed himself, then the scammer would be afraid that any elderly sounding person he talks to is actually a young dude in disguise.

And recover them from backup.
A lot of honest, Asian, retailers, use words like "Dear" and "Honey" when dealing with overseas clients. It may sound insincere, patronizing, or even insulting, to Westerners, but, in fact, they are using terms they would use amongst themselves. It is a generic term to them (e.g., children call any woman who takes care of them, "auntie," even if they aren't related, even for babysitters, etc.).
SKAIZUN, yeah but he's talking to an American now, trying to scam one. "When in Rome, do as the Romans do." He's trying to earn her trust. Here, calling her Granny is condeacending, and even there, the term weakens a woman's power psychologically. So let him call her Granny, it's a dead giveaway, but here. It's offensive and insults a woman she he's trying to get her goodwill and her money. It's, to up to "her" to play on HIS playing field.

And their Indian accent make everything better😂😂😂
I love you guys. my dad got scammed out of 50k from scammers like this, you have no idea how much i appreciate you guys fighting back means to me.
I’m so sorry.
I hope he got his money back. Incredibly tragic
bruh how tf you lose 50k to a random phone call?
@@HtheKing if they get access to your computer screen that’s all they need, and the victim on the other side can’t see what the scammer is doing on the computer, it looks completely fine on their end as if nothing is happening
@@Revioux so what do they do technically? I know they ask you to download some software so they can use your mouse, but how do they make money from this?
My 90 year old dad always answers the phone, “Lewiston Sheriff’s Department-how can I help you?” It works every time.
Your 90 year old dad is my idol.
Next time pretend to have a weak bladder and dementia, every time you come back to the phone from the toilet ask them who they are and what they're doing on your phone. LOL
😂😂😂 yes please
Please!
HAHAHA! That's genius!
Haha!!! 🙌
Fuckin genius
Scammer attempts to convince an old lady she's being hacked ... while he's getting hacked. Oh the irony 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
right? couldnt be more perfect :D
@420 Friendly lmao you can't hack without information and open doors dumbass
💯
@420 Friendly 99% of actual hacking consists of tricking people into believing you work for their IT department and giving you their TeamViewer numbers. There's very little buffer overflows and whatnot.
@Dan Gonzalez What's with the hate on Josh? He only posted '100' and you're calling him stupid...meanwhile 'you're' the one with spelling errors. Did you purposely just look for someone to hate on for no reason?
Ya’ll don’t mess with Vivian Helen Veronica Rogers
Edit: thanks for the likes y’all :)

Lol
This isn’t Vivian... this is Kevin.
@@Aldernary no this is patrick
U rly don’t mess tho
My friend lost 17k to an African scammer. I couldn’t believe he was so stupid to get caught by such an obvious scam. I even told him it was scam. But he said that i was “blocking his blessings”
I’ve always looked at him funny since
Same type of people follow trump..
some people
@@Jb-mi2rm how on earth did trump get into this?
this guy got RUINNNED.. I'm glad there are people fighting the scammers!! no one deserves what scammers do to people.. this guy was happy this old lady lived alone...
@dean Wayne I'm sorry to hear about that sir but absolutely sucks.. I hate that there are people that shady in our world
Can you also fight against Trump and his group of grifters? They have stolen Millions from misinformed and/or mentally challenged individuals. I can’t think of a bigger con artist in the entire world.
@@Manikese with all due respect you got a reference to that? It could be handy
@@HellFire178 yeah it's been reported by hundreds of sources thousands of times over the past 4 years.
@@cullenscott2022 if there's hundreds of them it should be easier to provide references no?
By the end of this video I was smiling and cheering! Very well done. Someone who stands up for us old ladies. Thank you
This is so wholesome 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Sorry if you had bad experiences before from these scammers
@@Dr.Thalekkallan your username checks out
@@AakashSingh-ct3xy plssss lmao

I'm so glad that you're not just catching these guys but you're deleting the stolen info they collected. Thank you!💕
Years of tedious "labor" wasted by an actor. It's gonna take a lot of Prozac and a Jesus.
I'm so happy you got these people! they did this to me of 5000 . God bless you brother!
So hes saying hes so sorry and he wont do it again but in the same breathe hes asking for his files back....to do it again.
😂😂
@Laure Ndjeuga 😂😂😂
As an Old guy, I can appreciate the success of these young people.
I love this. 😂
"I live alone"
"Ohh, that's good!"
Not at all suspicious.
I just wanted to comment this 😂
And so creepy. Jeez
Sounds like something you'd hear from a potential home intruder or rapist.
I caught that too. Bastards.
I only hear in my head Mr. Burns saying his iconic "Excellent!".
