I think being put under duress is a reasonable defence in law, and the prosecutor probably felt that there was insufficient chance of securing a conviction
Regardless of being a victim, she is 100% responsible for her actions. My sympathy (which was already low) dropped to nothing when she argued at the end
I get a bit wound up by a tendency to say that someone is a victim and therefore everything they do is okay. In the end, everyone in this nasty business can probably claim innocence somehow. There was probably some kind of plea-bargain reached if the woman cooperated with the police. I think Jim needs to maintain a crisp reputation and to be taken seriously by law enforcement, therefore he can't become a vigilante by leaking details.
@@samara.morgan Yeah and possibly get innocent people like family members harassed and attacked The online community isn't known for having the best sense of morality, who knows what people would do with that information
@@codingchannels4103 But those with more information have found her to be a victim in this case too. Maybe she/they (whatever their gender) legitimately thinks they are working under cover to oust scammers?
I once told a scammer I had to get my mouth pen so I could type on the keyboard. He asked why I needed a mouth pen, and I told him i'm a veteran and lost my limbs during a tour in the middle east. He said "You have no limbs? Sir don't believe these calls, they are scam calls". I guess he had a change of heart. BTW I work in retail and have all my limbs.
It's easy to paint all the scammers as evil, and a lot of them are, but it's good to remember that they're human and they don't just do it because they're sociopaths or whatever. There's a whole heap of cultural and societal problems in India that created this epidemic of scammers. I'm sure a lot of them would rather be doing honest work.
@@Wveth exactly, they are human and like many of us, they can work hard to earn their money. "cultural" and societal problems explain but in no way justify making money by deceiving people.
@@Wveth I doubt they would rather do honest work, or they'd be doing it. Would a real "honest working" person even want to be associated with people like them? No doubt in my mind they're all scum, and they've justified themselves long past any remorse and are only thinking about making money.
I have been so broke that I couldn't afford food before, many of us go through money problems, but I've never once considered stealing money from the elderly as a solution to my problems. There is no excuse for such heinous behaviour.
Watch more of these videos, most often they are not desperate they are enjoying their lives on the money while laughing at the victims. Some people really are just genuinely despicable.
These scammers don't give a damn. In their heads they think the people they're scamming have all the money in the world and they're just taking from people who they think don't deserve that money because they live in relatively better situations.
thank you Jim. my father who is 75 came home with a handful of Visa gift cards. and only because of me watching this channel I knew something was up. turns out they were telling him he was going to go to jail if he didn't pay $1,500 it breaks my heart thank you so much
yeah they did the whole we accidentally gave you more money than we were supposed to. so you have to give it back routine. I would have loved to see the look on the scammers face when I picked up the phone the last time. it was a happy ending though we managed to get all but three hundred back
I see other channels and they make you think you added an extra zero and ask to get x amount of cards and baffles me with technology these days your a click away from your bank info... but yes some are old school and understand this and this is why I try to educate my loving mother so she don't get scammed 👍🍻🇨🇦
Absolute dogs.wrong there should be more done to put these rats in jail.i bet your poor dad felt a bit confused to what was going on but thank god you got on it
It’s kinda scary how we look at these scams and think we’ll never fall for them. But when some of us grow up there will be some scams where we won’t even know we’re getting scammed
Question: who’s the worst scammers or Jim Browning who had you all believe that his content is spreading awareness and saving people from scam. Scam victims wouldn’t even understand Jim’s work on this channel. The reality is all Jim doing is spreading more hate towards Indian !!!
@Are You Going To Do The 'Ora Ora' Thing? I didn't know you could hear color through a telephone (from the perspective of the 2 victims that she was scamming).
It made me think she has been scammed and is trying to get some of her money back, explains why she is trying to friend the scammers. Jim does say the police have more of the story than is in the video.
She was scammed and sent money to the original scammers in India. To get the money back she must work for the scammers. IMO she's still resposible for scams she conducts, no matter who the final benificiary is. But that might be a blackmail tactics from Indian scammers.
Yes. As soon as she uses the name of someone in a position of public authority and tells the person she's calling to google the name of that person, she's absolutely in on it. Disgraceful.
I absolutely totally agree. Even if the police for some insane reason were running some kind of sting using a member of the public’s real account (which I really doubt they would) then at least someone from the bank would have to be in on it due to the fact bank staff are training to spot scams. Telling the member of the public not to communicate with the bank is a dead giveaway that this was a scam and the woman knew full well what she was getting into and doing. If I had my way she’d have five years in high security prison for impersonating a police officer and more time for the defrauding and scamming. The UK authorities would get her Indian fellows in crime extradited to serve many year’s in prison for all the scams they’ve done even if it adds up to life sentences for all of them. As would every other scammers that scambaiters catch as well as those the security forces do. This is of course what would happen if I got my way. I’m well aware of the limitations the UK and UK government have given most of the perpetrators are outside of British control. And I’m equally aware that the Indian police and law enforcement agencies are hopelessly corrupt. That every single government agency including the government itself is hopelessly corrupt. Nobody with any real authority do anything to stop the scammers in India. (Don’t believe me? Watch a video about how many leather tanneries are blatantly flouting environmental protection laws to pump gallons of a bright blue toxic carcinogen into the Ganges. Including how the inspectors deliberately only ‘check’ the official “show” tanneries that do obey the law and know full well he’s coming. Opposed to when the inspector let an accompanying journalist pick a tannery at random. As soon as the inspection team arrive at the gates there’s shouts and panic as the workers hurry to shut down the carcinogen producing machines before either inspector or journalist can reach it. I think it was a BBC news article for the website.) But… it would be nice for these scammers and associates to get the justice they deserve. Until then we rely on Jim Browning, Kitboga, ScammerPayback and other scambaiters to do the best they can.
@@mikoto7693 And how do you know she isn't the victim of these scammers and is being coerced into doing this to get her money back. The chance you get your money back from an indian scammer is low to zero. If someone took all of your life savings, whilst you know that the police are not going to get it back, that the bank will not give it back to you, and that you being an older person without much ability or future to work to earn back any of that money, would probably be very susceptible to doing somehting like this.
@@PBMS123 She was enjoying what she was doing with the prospect of making fast money. When the guy busted her for being a scammer, she didn't crack for a moment. She just kept threatening him with "assisting cyber criminals" and so on. She also impersonated a member of the police force and argued her way through the suspicious of her victims. She's a natural scammer through and through. There's a lot of scammers in the UK that do all sorts. They've had TV shows about them for years. For example "Rogue Traders" or "Cowboy Builders" and sometimes "Crimewatch UK". There are scammers like her all over the UK.
@@Gorguruga Again you cannot say that she is not being coerced. You say she's "enjoying it" she may not be. And if she thought that cracking would destroy her ability to get things back she might not. I know of people who have been coerced by scammers to do what they say, using their bank accounts, etc.
That bot copy/pastes comments to look like a real person. Every time I see one of these I find the exact comment made earlier by a real person. This one copied *Gardener Steve's* post and replied to you with it. It fools the bot catching algorithms and reporting them seems to be useless since there's no category to fit them in.
@@mob4333 I expect UA-cam can find them easier than I can, and YT has the power to cancel their accounts. I have a little hope left in the jar that something might get done. But I'm about to toss that jar in the bin.
My mother got a call like this. It sounded exactly like this woman. I'm just happy I noticed what was going on before she gave away more info. It got to the point where she was threatening to close bank accounts and I just told her we don't take threats and hung up. Don't trust callers just because they're British.
She knows exactly what she's doing, 100% complicit and 100% guilty. I'd really love to know the full story, the stuff that the police know. Can't wait for it to come out
"They eventually concluded that she was easily influenced, naïve and vulnerable enough to attempt to help scammers. She even allowed her bank account to be used as part of the scam." Sounds like she's in collusion, good job Officers. Pretending to be someone else to get money out of someone sounds like she pretty well knew what she was doing. Impersonating someone of authority means she knew what she was doing, and makes me angry seeing that she's still trying to keep on with the chirade after the guy calls her out for trying to scam him.
@@AH17293 she probably is helping the cops with info on the scammers she was working for. Ya know, "catch a few small fish to get the big fish" It's too obvious she knew what she was doing.
If this was a man, they would not have considered him to be a victim. I'm sure that once she was tracked down, she cried and told her hard luck story about being a single mother and how she's been through so much 🙄. If only you really knew how often people like this cry their way out of stuff. She's a criminal! Plain and simple. The why doesn't matter in this case.
Any stranger telling you "never say anything to your family or friends" is by default a scammer! 3:23 Great words by the "NCA chief" - we need to catch the thief
It almost seems like the scammers are getting more desperate as awareness of their schemes increases. Given time, we could kill scams like these off completely! This doesn't apply to hacking or virus based scams though, those keep evolving at the same rate as cyber security.
@Miles Doyle cool but why write an essay for something unrelated to your message? Why even spend the time copy pasting it when you you only receive comments like mine?
I have a very hard time believing that she is an innocent victim being used by the scammers when she willingly uses the same, shitty tactics as they do to threaten and intimidate people. Hope the cops get her.
Agreed i hope he knows the difference he is making these scumbags are destroying people lifes later on in life expose expose expose great work JIM BROWNING
Victim!! What a joke, hows about charging her with impersonating a police officer. Telling some old dear to google her while pretending to be one of the most powerful police officers in the country. Disgraceful !!
Victim means that she was scammed, the way you're phrasing her makes her sound questionable. You're saying that a victim of the scammers should be jailed, and the key word is Victim, read it out loud.
🤣🤣🤣 at some point she was a victim, she then decided to impersonate a police officer while attempting to defraud a pensioner. Would you feel the same if it was your elderly relatives she'd gone on to victimise ?
Lol the fact that you think the uk government and police care about their elderly must mean you arent from the uk. They only care about naughty words and hate speech, this lady got off scott free.
According to the description + comments on the video, Jim says that the police considered this scammer to be 'easily influenced', which means they will go light on her even though she doesn't deserve it.
The UK police concluded she was a victim so no charges or penalties were filed against her. But a big part of me wonders...is she that manipulative that she fooled the police? Or was she truly a "victim" here like law enforcement thinks? Being naive or vulnerable has nothing to do with it, because I honestly think she's good enough that she'll bamboozle even the UK's finest. This lady might've been a victim once, but she is no longer one today.
Uk its very simple for example in Sham marriages the person who give money is charged but the partner(UK national) are let free cause they are too naive to know they are getting married. I mean how is this possible ?
She knows her name isn’t Lynn Owens so my argument would be using a fake name should have been your first clue. Also telling the victim they can’t tell anybody about what’s going on sounds strange and deceptive.
Simply by using the same script over and over again on several people, she must have quickly realized that she is participating in a scam. I can't imagine that she could have been so naive as to assume otherwise.
Just goes to show how inept the police are. This women is clearly scamming. Whether or not she "was" a victim is neither here nor there, she is still breaking the law, claiming to be someone who she is not. Jim is clearly showing what this woman is up to and I've no doubt she still doing this somewhere. So she is a victim ... lets consider this. If a victim gets stabbed does that then give them the right to stabbed others and then claim she was a victim?
*Why would you lose sympathy for that poor woman ? Jim only knows half of the story and he does not decide who’s guilty !!! Have some faith in U.K. law and enforcement, Jim is not the law, he is merely a network guy with access to paid softwares !!!!*
@@MrUssy101 in what way was she innocent? Sure she could have been naive and believed they would rob her if she didn't agree. Or let's say she thought it was a real job (this would be inherently flawed since she is impersonating an officer - so that can't be the case). Now if she was threatened we should feel bad but at the same time does that justify threatening others? If you're being threatened you'd go and contact someone (obviously scammers would influence her not to) but why do it for a week? She knows what she's doing is incorrect If we follow the ideology saying she's innocent then let's go crazy with this concept (reductio ad absurdom). If a scammer in India threatened to steal or hurt you and suggests you should physically harm someone else is that justified? How can we be sure the person from India is real? How can we make sure they're actually scammers? The police don't work alongside Indian police making it impossible. Either way she is guilty (imo) for harrassment, impersonating an officer and scamming / cyber fraud.
@@MrUssy101 Now I truly know why on how much of a die hard no life Karen you pathetically are, as you continue to use fake conspiracies against every popular youtubers
it is almost TOO obvious that she is not "Innocent" or in any way "easily influenced" or "naive." she is just straight forward a scamming prick that deserves no sympathy whatsoever. thank you SO much for shedding some MUCH needed lights on this, as it is indeed an incredibly dangerous scam. you are, and will always be a personal hero of mine. keep up the amazing work John. you make the internet a MUCH safer place per every upload you do.
Exactly. Even if there are factors unbeknownst to us, she very clearly knows she's impersonating an officer. She knows she's lying about her identity. That is enough. There is no way this woman is innocent.
I am guessing they have took money off her and have 'promised' to give it back if she scams people for them which if true makes her just as bad considering she is ripping people off to help herself.
There’s a special place in hell for people like this. I’ve had lows in my life and I would never steal money or anything else, even when I was younger and living in my car, I never would’ve stolen from anyone. Hopefully karma gets her. Thanks Jim Browning for all you do to help and educate people.
I don't understand, youtube is allowed in u.k and scam news in youtube is quite famous how is she still have the guts to do scam? did not she saw scam news in youtube?
The fact she is local makes this scam seem more legit and authentic. Getting the victim to Google the "official".. It's amazing how they evolve the scam. Thanks for sharing. Brilliant work Jim 👍
Domestic scammers need to be charged to the fullest extent if they're caught. It may seem nigh impossible to get Indian officials to do anything about their scammers, the US, UK and Australian authorities should make an example of these people to send the message that its just not lucrative enough to risk doing it domestically at least. Edit - Finished the video and I have to say that this woman is awful. Regardless of whether she herself was being scammed, the things she said and did to her victims were awful. The way she attempted to double down on the guilt with Kenneth was gross. I'm glad he stood up to her, only wish he had called her a few more colorful names.
The fake “Lynn” knew exactly what she was doing, there may be extenuating circumstances that aren’t available to the public atm. Hopefully all the scammers will be caught out eventually. Good work again Jim. ☺️
1 scammer gets caught 3 more populate. The ones that get caught... well I call them mules. Jim Browning is doing a great job on exposing these scammers
Why would someone in Lynne Owens (the real one) position EVER directly contact victims of crime. She is the director. She oversees her team and manages the agency. No one in that position would EVER contact civilians directly. Especially with only "google me" as her proof. Keep up the good work, Jim.
There's a reason these SCUMBAGS prey on the elderly and disabled. Ironically, the following is a quote from Gandhi: "The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members."
I worked for a scam company once, i had to call people to sell a "Box that blocks cold calling" I didn't actually realise it was a scam until about a month in. I had a small inkling but what really triggered it for me was that when people called about when their boxes were going to be shipped out, our manager always said "They're coming from overseas". Needless to say I left that job and I reported it, they went bust and gave all the workers, me included, over £1000; obviously it was hush money. I now work in a dog's rehoming centre and I love it~
There’s a guy I occasionally have to work with that should be retired, but he’s not, because a scammer took his life savings and put him in severe debt. He has to work for the rest of his life now. Luckily his employers made an exception and kept him on so he can survive, and we do all the heavy lifting for him. But he doesn’t even have a car or his own house anymore. If I ever met a scammer, It wouldn’t end well.
This channel has pissed me off enough that previously I would just hang up on scammers, now I talk to them, shame them, insult them, ask them if their parents are proud of raising thieves, etc. Thank you for what you do. I don't have the computer knowledge to do what you do, but I will do what I can.
Me and my friends do this thing where we talk to them for ages about something really boring and irrelevant. Whenever they give us an offer or sale price, we pretend to be over the moon and laughing and praising the scammer. Then, at some random point, we start talking quietly, so the scammer can barely hear us. Then we scream as loud as we can down the phone. As he's wearing a headset, we know he turned his volume up as high as he could, just to hear us. Hopefully it frightens the shite out of them, they definitely deserve it. 😂
And by allowing her own accounts to be used to move the money around, she has also committed money laundering offences. - Money laundering - Obtaining money by deception - Impersonating a police officer
Was going to say that. Impersonating a police officer to conduct illegal activities is a pretty serious offense. I wonder how she walked out of that one.
I like that the face blur is the LEAST amount of blur, and you can still see her face. So it's like following the rules to the letter and no further, and I'm here for it.
I typically scambait whenever I get calls, but I got a call from someone with an American accent and it made me pause and I was more inclined to think the scam was legit. It's scary how much the voice can influence the effectiveness of the scam. I still gave him a never ending credit card number though until he hung up!
I never answer the calls but sometimes I wish I had this chaotic spirit :P The longer you keep them on the phone is time they can't be scamming someone else.
Exactly. The opposite is true too, I called my bank yesterday using an 100% legitimate phone number through the mobile app and the lady who answered (who was super nice and helpful) had an accent similar (but not quite) to the stereotypical Indian one. Made me do a double take, but of course it was all good. It's scary. I hate how these scammers are ruining all Indians' reputations.
Oh yes that's one of my favorites, giving them a never ending credit card number! 😂 Also, using a fake word for a number. I saw that on another scambaiting channel, it's especially fun when the scammer clearly doesn't know English well, because you can almost hear their brain struggling to "remember" this fake number from their English training 😂 So like -- "Three, Seven, Eight, One, Henway, Six, Two."
@@AdonisBlueCo we don’t know how long the scammers have been talking to this woman, they definitely could have threatened her with something if she didn’t do this.
Thanks Jim. I had a scam call the other day, I love entertaining them until they ask me what my name is. Their reaction when I say Jim Browning is always priceless
She very well may have, at one point, been a victim but my empathy stops when instead of trying to be a voice for good and trying to end the scamming, she allowed it to continue and even took part of and profited from it. Scammers are the lowest form of scum, IMO.
You tell off that scammer, Kenneth! I lost respect for this "victim" the moment she started arguing with you! She knows she is in the wrong, and acts all high and mighty. Smh.
Thank you Jim, my dad almost got scammed by someone from "Virgin" last week and it's thanks to your videos that I knew how to handle the situation and prevent any personal savings being lost. Also Kenneth is a bad ass and I hope that having the second phone call with "Lynne" was very cathartic after the shitty morning she gave him.
She's too forcefull to be a victim, I might believe at one point she lost her savings, but to actively make the situation worse by forcing it on others is no better than stealing to gain whealth in the first place
But it totally depends frow whom youre stealing... If you steal a millionaires Ferrari he wont bother to much, either his insurance will pay or he just buys a new one. If you scam elderly people out of all their lifesavings youre a lot worse... cause in a lot of cases they wont get their money back, they could lose their homes or even commit suicide. And sadly that has happened. So scammers are not just thiefes, they are the worst scumbag kind of thief, that takes advantage of societies most vulnerable people. Honestly, i wish theyd all die, i got no empathie for them, like none at all.
@@calake94 I know, but thats not the point i was making. Theres a difference in morality depending what, how and from whom you are stealing. I think you would agree that theres a difference in morality, when for example scammers steal money from elderly people for their own benefit, than for example a homeless person stealing food from a store to not starve to death. Legally both cases would be called stealing, but one case is morally worse than the other.
@@nitro8529 I guess I agree with that. People who victimize vulnerable people like the elderly are especially vile. Legally they are different crimes. One is a type of fraud and the other is larceny/theft. Depending on where you live to steal a car worth more than ~$100k would be grand larceny, and could net you up to 30 years in prison.
Question: who’s the worst scammers or Jim Browning who had you all believe that his content is spreading awareness and saving people from scam. Scam victims wouldn’t even understand Jim’s work on this channel. The reality is all Jim doing is spreading more hate towards Indian !!!
While I understand that something probably pushed her into this line of work, I can't help but find this lady to be awful regardless. She seems very aware and forceful and almost confident in her actions and I feel like she's the kind of person who would have shouted at me when the bags went up to 5p back when I worked in a shop.
As well as knowingly claiming to be someone she knows she is not. I don't understand how she could claim to be a victim unless the police are in on it or because vagina or trans she can do no wrong. As as biased as the police are in the UK I wouldn't doubt it.
Jim Browning, you are a legend, I get weekly calls from scammers and you have taught me how to handle the calls, I always pretend to be an old lady when answering the calls, and let them run through their script keeping them on the phone using up their credit. Thank you, Jim, I wish I could help you more with your work monetarily but I'm on disability support. Many thanks and fantastic work mate
@@athulfgeirsson Nah, that's not how Jim rolls. Once he gets all the info she'll hopefully be persecuted by the full extent of the law, but I doubt it. It's the UK police that's swallowing her victim narrative. Maybe they should focus more on protecting their citizens instead of painting police cars in rainbows. Ashton and Art of rebel media have a similar problem. They catch mules who feed them a line of bullshit and they're inclined to think they're a victim. Also the mules they caught have all been male so gender has nothing to do with it.
@not tellin It’s very easy to look up what courts/police tell you to do, and they will never advise discretion unless it is demonstrably for your own benefit.
Afraid this isn’t strictly true, at least in the UK, especially in cases regarding fraud and money laundering. Notifying other third parties of the case is called tipping off and can result in a maximum sentence of 5 years. What should be a much bigger red flag is anytime someone requests you to transfer funds in a situation like this ‘to collect proof’
When the FBI subpoenas my business for information, I will only believe them once meeting in-person at the FBI office, after separately verifying them with the office, and I must see them leave the secured area. Nothing left to chance.
Thank you Mr. Browning for weeding out these scammers and "taking out the trash". Much respect to you Sir !! How these people can look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me.
I could imagine a few ways actually. Here's one: Let's say she has been the victim of these particular scammers and is bankrupt or even in debt. Afterwards, the scammers contact her, saying she can earn back what they took from her by doing what we've seen in this video. Fairly simple, no? Any other form of extortion, like initmate data stolen from her, threats to the lives of her family members or other similarly crushing crimes also seem plausible. Having said that, I of course don't condone what she's been shown to be doing in this video and believe a court of law should punish her as they see fit, according to the law. But if Jim says there's reason to believe she herself is a victim, let's at least try to be a little empathetic. We can see and understand her crimes, but there is (by this video) no way to know her motives. For me, it is as simple as that.
@@ha-kh7ef but you didn’t claim to be someone else who already exists so people could google you. (Hopefully). Pretending your name is different and pretending to be someone are very different things.
@@sachinmysorekar5593 They could have groomed her into thinking that using Lynne Owens' name is part of a legitimate anti-fraud strategy. It might be hard to believe on the face of it, but then, it's hard to believe that people can be groomed into sending thousands of dollars in gift cards. There are money mules who have been extensively coached by scammers and still don't understand that they're part of a scam.
@@RossStalker I am not entirely sure why you targeted your reply to me. Either it was an accident or you misunderstood my message. Either way, have a great day!
Woah, the Indian Scam is moving onto another level. The big give away was the accent, now it's going to be even more difficult for some to avoid being scammed. If you get any call like this, Talk to your Bank IMMEDIATELY.
Accent doesn't matter. If I get some random call telling me there's hackers on my account, hang up. If I get a fake virus popup and it tells me to call a number, turn off the computer. If I get a call saying there was an order on my Amazon account, I go log into Amazon myself and check. Scams don't work for any accent if you use your brain. If you frequently watch Jim's videos and genuinely worry about scammers sharing your accent tricking you then you're a moron and you've learned nothing.

Posting as ever to help the algorithm, everyone should be aware of the great work you do Jim. Working in financial crime myself and seeing first hand how much money people are scammed out of and how their tactics are constantly changing, it's so important to educate everyone of their tactics. I also love wasting these scammers time when they call me, give them take details and keep them going as long as possible
I actually like my fake personal details more than my real ones. Almost considering changing my official birthday, as one of my fake ones is more convenient.
This is a crazy, twisted, greedy woman helping scammers' in India. She (in the U.K.) definitely is not a victim especially since she is impersonating a top official in the 🇬🇧 and using it to scam fellow citizens like her. Thanks Jim, for this eye opening video. 😳
The police said she is a victim so it is extremely likely there is more story to it. My guess is that she was once a victim of the same scam and was promised to be able to get her money back if she could help scam enough people for them - which she probably wouldn't be able to even if she did.
Did you not hear what Jim said about the police investigation? He's definitely (rightfully) calling out you idiots in a subtle way drawing conclusions without knowing or even WANTING to know any facts (because they'd disprove your BS theories). Looks like the Common Sense Sisters don't live up to their name. It definitely was disgusting though when she played the race card.
@@markymark443 Listen it doesnt really matter what her story is.

When a stranger asks you to do something but keep it a secret,
TELL EVERYONE.
A rule not just for children. Forced secrecy from a stranger is always dangerous and suspicious
This message needs to be upheld. Better to be a snitch than a criminal
A good secret 😆
I'll keep the secret that I told on them, I'll keep that a secret for sure.
Wish a scammer would tell me not to tell anyone then tell them I’m telling everyone to see how angry they normally get.
I once told a scammer I had to get my mouth pen so I could type on the keyboard. He asked why I needed a mouth pen, and I told him i'm a veteran and lost my limbs during a tour in the middle east. He said "You have no limbs? Sir don't believe these calls, they are scam calls". I guess he had a change of heart.
BTW I work in retail and have all my limbs.
It's easy to paint all the scammers as evil, and a lot of them are, but it's good to remember that they're human and they don't just do it because they're sociopaths or whatever. There's a whole heap of cultural and societal problems in India that created this epidemic of scammers. I'm sure a lot of them would rather be doing honest work.

I have been so broke that I couldn't afford food before, many of us go through money problems, but I've never once considered stealing money from the elderly as a solution to my problems. There is no excuse for such heinous behaviour.

Rational raven same here I've been homeless too but would never do this
This is what is called multi-culturalism, isn't it?
I’m depending on food banks to eat right now. I’d still never do this to someone. I’d never steal from the elderly like that.
These scammers don't give a damn. In their heads they think the people they're scamming have all the money in the world and they're just taking from people who they think don't deserve that money because they live in relatively better situations.

It made me think she has been scammed and is trying to get some of her money back, explains why she is trying to friend the scammers. Jim does say the police have more of the story than is in the video.
I can't imagine a scenario where she's not morally and legally responsible for what she's doing there.
Exactly, I think she is also committing identity theft.
She was scammed and sent money to the original scammers in India. To get the money back she must work for the scammers. IMO she's still resposible for scams she conducts, no matter who the final benificiary is. But that might be a blackmail tactics from Indian scammers.
@@BIG-qn6ed impersonating a police officer, not identity theft.
Yes. As soon as she uses the name of someone in a position of public authority and tells the person she's calling to google the name of that person, she's absolutely in on it.
Disgraceful.
The legal system f*cks the innocent, and favors the guilty.
As soon as she said "You have to keep it a secret" she lost all credibility. Absolutely a scammer, she know exactly what she's doing.
Yes, because why would you NOT tell your bank?
I absolutely totally agree. Even if the police for some insane reason were running some kind of sting using a member of the public’s real account (which I really doubt they would) then at least someone from the bank would have to be in on it due to the fact bank staff are training to spot scams.
Telling the member of the public not to communicate with the bank is a dead giveaway that this was a scam and the woman knew full well what she was getting into and doing.
If I had my way she’d have five years in high security prison for impersonating a police officer and more time for the defrauding and scamming. The UK authorities would get her Indian fellows in crime extradited to serve many year’s in prison for all the scams they’ve done even if it adds up to life sentences for all of them. As would every other scammers that scambaiters catch as well as those the security forces do.
This is of course what would happen if I got my way. I’m well aware of the limitations the UK and UK government have given most of the perpetrators are outside of British control. And I’m equally aware that the Indian police and law enforcement agencies are hopelessly corrupt. That every single government agency including the government itself is hopelessly corrupt. Nobody with any real authority do anything to stop the scammers in India. (Don’t believe me? Watch a video about how many leather tanneries are blatantly flouting environmental protection laws to pump gallons of a bright blue toxic carcinogen into the Ganges. Including how the inspectors deliberately only ‘check’ the official “show” tanneries that do obey the law and know full well he’s coming. Opposed to when the inspector let an accompanying journalist pick a tannery at random. As soon as the inspection team arrive at the gates there’s shouts and panic as the workers hurry to shut down the carcinogen producing machines before either inspector or journalist can reach it. I think it was a BBC news article for the website.)
But… it would be nice for these scammers and associates to get the justice they deserve. Until then we rely on Jim Browning, Kitboga, ScammerPayback and other scambaiters to do the best they can.
@@mikoto7693 And how do you know she isn't the victim of these scammers and is being coerced into doing this to get her money back.
The chance you get your money back from an indian scammer is low to zero. If someone took all of your life savings, whilst you know that the police are not going to get it back, that the bank will not give it back to you, and that you being an older person without much ability or future to work to earn back any of that money, would probably be very susceptible to doing somehting like this.
@@PBMS123 She was enjoying what she was doing with the prospect of making fast money. When the guy busted her for being a scammer, she didn't crack for a moment. She just kept threatening him with "assisting cyber criminals" and so on. She also impersonated a member of the police force and argued her way through the suspicious of her victims. She's a natural scammer through and through. There's a lot of scammers in the UK that do all sorts. They've had TV shows about them for years. For example "Rogue Traders" or "Cowboy Builders" and sometimes "Crimewatch UK". There are scammers like her all over the UK.
@@Gorguruga Again you cannot say that she is not being coerced. You say she's "enjoying it" she may not be. And if she thought that cracking would destroy her ability to get things back she might not.

Agreed.
And not only that, she’s impersonating the uk’s j edger, not a smart move🤣🤣🤣
The UK police concluded she was a victim so no charges or penalties were filed against her. But a big part of me wonders...is she that manipulative that she fooled the police? Or was she truly a "victim" here like law enforcement thinks? Being naive or vulnerable has nothing to do with it, because I honestly think she's good enough that she'll bamboozle even the UK's finest. This lady might've been a victim once, but she is no longer one today.
Yes, being a victim in one crime does not acquit of another. or multiple...
Uk its very simple for example in Sham marriages the person who give money is charged but the partner(UK national) are let free cause they are too naive to know they are getting married. I mean how is this possible ?
She knows her name isn’t Lynn Owens so my argument would be using a fake name should have been your first clue. Also telling the victim they can’t tell anybody about what’s going on sounds strange and deceptive.
Simply by using the same script over and over again on several people, she must have quickly realized that she is participating in a scam. I can't imagine that she could have been so naive as to assume otherwise.
Just goes to show how inept the police are. This women is clearly scamming. Whether or not she "was" a victim is neither here nor there, she is still breaking the law, claiming to be someone who she is not. Jim is clearly showing what this woman is up to and I've no doubt she still doing this somewhere. So she is a victim ... lets consider this. If a victim gets stabbed does that then give them the right to stabbed others and then claim she was a victim?

Now if she was threatened we should feel bad but at the same time does that justify threatening others? If you're being threatened you'd go and contact someone (obviously scammers would influence her not to) but why do it for a week?
She knows what she's doing is incorrect
If we follow the ideology saying she's innocent then let's go crazy with this concept (reductio ad absurdom).
If a scammer in India threatened to steal or hurt you and suggests you should physically harm someone else is that justified?
How can we be sure the person from India is real? How can we make sure they're actually scammers? The police don't work alongside Indian police making it impossible.

I worked for a scam company once, i had to call people to sell a "Box that blocks cold calling" I didn't actually realise it was a scam until about a month in. I had a small inkling but what really triggered it for me was that when people called about when their boxes were going to be shipped out, our manager always said "They're coming from overseas". Needless to say I left that job and I reported it, they went bust and gave all the workers, me included, over £1000; obviously it was hush money. I now work in a dog's rehoming centre and I love it~

There’s a guy I occasionally have to work with that should be retired, but he’s not, because a scammer took his life savings and put him in severe debt. He has to work for the rest of his life now. Luckily his employers made an exception and kept him on so he can survive, and we do all the heavy lifting for him. But he doesn’t even have a car or his own house anymore.

Yes Mr browning is on the phone calling out your bs miss fake authority figure.
pretending to be a police officer AND scamming, since she's based in england based on her accent i assume that would constitute a jail sentence
And by allowing her own accounts to be used to move the money around, she has also committed money laundering offences.
- Money laundering
- Obtaining money by deception
- Impersonating a police officer
Was going to say that. Impersonating a police officer to conduct illegal activities is a pretty serious offense. I wonder how she walked out of that one.
Nope. She's a white woman so she's got automatic victim credit.
"Controlling" her from India? You mean employing her from India.
LOL--so right.
She's lucky she's a white woman. If this was a brown woman, or even a white man, they would be in jail.
She isn’t being controlled, she’s doing this willingly
@@EnclosedPoolArea y'know, i don't usually agree with comments like this. but i think you're right in this situation.

I like that the face blur is the LEAST amount of blur, and you can still see her face. So it's like following the rules to the letter and no further, and I'm here for it.

Wtf your dp????
Jim is such a freaking star. A very smart and compassionate man, glad there are people like him.
I typically scambait whenever I get calls, but I got a call from someone with an American accent and it made me pause and I was more inclined to think the scam was legit. It's scary how much the voice can influence the effectiveness of the scam. I still gave him a never ending credit card number though until he hung up!
Lmao nice one
I never answer the calls but sometimes I wish I had this chaotic spirit :P The longer you keep them on the phone is time they can't be scamming someone else.
Exactly. The opposite is true too, I called my bank yesterday using an 100% legitimate phone number through the mobile app and the lady who answered (who was super nice and helpful) had an accent similar (but not quite) to the stereotypical Indian one. Made me do a double take, but of course it was all good. It's scary. I hate how these scammers are ruining all Indians' reputations.
Oh yes that's one of my favorites, giving them a never ending credit card number! 😂
Also, using a fake word for a number. I saw that on another scambaiting channel, it's especially fun when the scammer clearly doesn't know English well, because you can almost hear their brain struggling to "remember" this fake number from their English training 😂
So like -- "Three, Seven, Eight, One, Henway, Six, Two."
Not all heroes wear a cape, some just need a PC and a good heart. You're a good man Jim, you're a hero and educator. Thank you.
I don't see how she possibly could be a victim, she knows she's lying and she aggressive about it.
She was originally victimized, then got roped into be the scammer.
@@Bob-jm8kl I doubt they are holding her cat hostage at gun point
In the US she would fry, doesnt matter why the law is being broken and she is fully aware its not ok to impersonate a gov agency.
@@AdonisBlueCo we don’t know how long the scammers have been talking to this woman, they definitely could have threatened her with something if she didn’t do this.
@@ShyAnn291 She is a scammer, end of story, go to jail & do not collect $200.00
Thanks Jim. I had a scam call the other day, I love entertaining them until they ask me what my name is. Their reaction when I say Jim Browning is always priceless
Impersonating a senior police officer must see this evil person jailed, surely.
Nope. Apparently she's the one we're supposed to feel sorry for.
She very well may have, at one point, been a victim but my empathy stops when instead of trying to be a voice for good and trying to end the scamming, she allowed it to continue and even took part of and profited from it. Scammers are the lowest form of scum, IMO.
I couldn’t agree more
@@EmilyLovesTea123 same
They are the real scum of the earth, ABIA.
You tell off that scammer, Kenneth!
I lost respect for this "victim" the moment she started arguing with you! She knows she is in the wrong, and acts all high and mighty. Smh.
That's how all of these evil assholes act, scammer or no.

Thank you Jim, my dad almost got scammed by someone from "Virgin" last week and it's thanks to your videos that I knew how to handle the situation and prevent any personal savings being lost.
Also Kenneth is a bad ass and I hope that having the second phone call with "Lynne" was very cathartic after the shitty morning she gave him.
Good to hear about that 'virgin' call MoN. And yes, Kenneth have her what she deserved.
@@JimBrowning your awesome
She's too forcefull to be a victim, I might believe at one point she lost her savings, but to actively make the situation worse by forcing it on others is no better than stealing to gain whealth in the first place
But it totally depends frow whom youre stealing... If you steal a millionaires Ferrari he wont bother to much, either his insurance will pay or he just buys a new one.
If you scam elderly people out of all their lifesavings youre a lot worse... cause in a lot of cases they wont get their money back, they could lose their homes or even commit suicide. And sadly that has happened.
So scammers are not just thiefes, they are the worst scumbag kind of thief, that takes advantage of societies most vulnerable people.
Honestly, i wish theyd all die, i got no empathie for them, like none at all.
@@nitro8529 There are no extenuating circumstances for stealing a Ferrari.
@@calake94 I know, but thats not the point i was making. Theres a difference in morality depending what, how and from whom you are stealing.
I think you would agree that theres a difference in morality, when for example scammers steal money from elderly people for their own benefit, than for example a homeless person stealing food from a store to not starve to death.
Legally both cases would be called stealing, but one case is morally worse than the other.
@@nitro8529 I guess I agree with that. People who victimize vulnerable people like the elderly are especially vile.
Legally they are different crimes. One is a type of fraud and the other is larceny/theft. Depending on where you live to steal a car worth more than ~$100k would be grand larceny, and could net you up to 30 years in prison.
@@nitro8529 And how do you know scammers are not the homeless guys?
Awesome video and nice explanation! Much love Man!🔥👏
Question: who’s the worst scammers or Jim Browning who had you all believe that his content is spreading awareness and saving people from scam. Scam victims wouldn’t even understand Jim’s work on this channel. The reality is all Jim doing is spreading more hate towards Indian !!!
Your videos are awesome!!
@@MrUssy101 Sounds like you’re a scammer 🤔
Hey Squad and Jim! Great weekend to everyone!
HI guys
She knows exactly what she doing 😡😡
She's part of the scam and is proud of it. Look at the way she relentlessly defended herself when speaking with Kenneth!
The attitude she gave that guy at the end sure af doesn't sound like a "victim"...
Unless she's been blackmailed or has learning difficulties (which she clearly doesn't) then she's totally responsible for her actions.
She's responsible for her actions. But she was originally victimized, then got roped into be the scammer.
She's a Brit, she definitely has learning difficulties
@@Bob-jm8kl no one here knows what happened
Is she behind bars?
@@englishwithme9922 she is forgiven. No charge. No fine. Nothing
While I understand that something probably pushed her into this line of work, I can't help but find this lady to be awful regardless. She seems very aware and forceful and almost confident in her actions and I feel like she's the kind of person who would have shouted at me when the bags went up to 5p back when I worked in a shop.
She is NOT a victim. She discussed with the scammers that “I have her convinced not to talk to the bank”. You dont say that if yo are a victim.
I got the impression that she is being blackmailed but Jim didn't include the deets in the video so it's hard to say
Maybe she got blackmailed into doing this. It happens
Even if she was blackmailed that's no excuse!
She seems to really care about "Kevin" maybe she's dating him and got dragged in?
She also seemed really upset when race was brought up.
As well as knowingly claiming to be someone she knows she is not. I don't understand how she could claim to be a victim unless the police are in on it or because vagina or trans she can do no wrong. As as biased as the police are in the UK I wouldn't doubt it.
Jim Browning is amazing. Just when you thought you'd seen everything, this appears.
Thank you Jim for your dedication.
Jim Browning, you are a legend, I get weekly calls from scammers and you have taught me how to handle the calls, I always pretend to be an old lady when answering the calls, and let them run through their script keeping them on the phone using up their credit. Thank you, Jim, I wish I could help you more with your work monetarily but I'm on disability support. Many thanks and fantastic work mate
🤣😁 sounds fun
You and me both Robbie, I take a personal challenge to make them hang up first, and the longer it takes - the better!
What a shame this woman is!!!! SHAME ON HER!!!!!
She's a scammer!! She's knows what she doing just cried victim when she got caught
He's only supposing she's a "victim" because she's a woman.
@@athulfgeirsson Nah, that's not how Jim rolls. Once he gets all the info she'll hopefully be persecuted by the full extent of the law, but I doubt it.
It's the UK police that's swallowing her victim narrative. Maybe they should focus more on protecting their citizens instead of painting police cars in rainbows.
Ashton and Art of rebel media have a similar problem. They catch mules who feed them a line of bullshit and they're inclined to think they're a victim. Also the mules they caught have all been male so gender has nothing to do with it.
Scammers don't run out of strategies. Awareness is what we all need. Thanks Jim for doing this work.
Man Kenneth went all in on this woman. Jim is doing God's work. Well done Jim.

Timestamp?
@@AdroSlice 14:19
Anytime someone says "Don't let anyone know about this" that should be a huge Red Flag.
Exactly. No legitimate company or organization will ever do that. That's a fact.
@not tellin It’s very easy to look up what courts/police tell you to do, and they will never advise discretion unless it is demonstrably for your own benefit.
Afraid this isn’t strictly true, at least in the UK, especially in cases regarding fraud and money laundering. Notifying other third parties of the case is called tipping off and can result in a maximum sentence of 5 years. What should be a much bigger red flag is anytime someone requests you to transfer funds in a situation like this ‘to collect proof’
When the FBI subpoenas my business for information, I will only believe them once meeting in-person at the FBI office, after separately verifying them with the office, and I must see them leave the secured area. Nothing left to chance.
Thank you Mr. Browning for weeding out these scammers and "taking out the trash". Much respect to you Sir !! How these people can look at themselves in the mirror is beyond me.
this is probably my favorite UA-cam channel. it isn't just about content, but actually making a difference in the scamming world.
God, the Kenneth call was great, thankfully you were able to help him on time.
She was pretending to be someone she was not, how is she a "victim"?
I could imagine a few ways actually. Here's one: Let's say she has been the victim of these particular scammers and is bankrupt or even in debt. Afterwards, the scammers contact her, saying she can earn back what they took from her by doing what we've seen in this video. Fairly simple, no? Any other form of extortion, like initmate data stolen from her, threats to the lives of her family members or other similarly crushing crimes also seem plausible.
Having said that, I of course don't condone what she's been shown to be doing in this video and believe a court of law should punish her as they see fit, according to the law. But if Jim says there's reason to believe she herself is a victim, let's at least try to be a little empathetic. We can see and understand her crimes, but there is (by this video) no way to know her motives. For me, it is as simple as that.
tbh the same thing happen to me when i was doing marketing for a sleezy job. I had to to use a more “white name”
@@ha-kh7ef but you didn’t claim to be someone else who already exists so people could google you. (Hopefully). Pretending your name is different and pretending to be someone are very different things.
@@sachinmysorekar5593 They could have groomed her into thinking that using Lynne Owens' name is part of a legitimate anti-fraud strategy. It might be hard to believe on the face of it, but then, it's hard to believe that people can be groomed into sending thousands of dollars in gift cards. There are money mules who have been extensively coached by scammers and still don't understand that they're part of a scam.
@@RossStalker I am not entirely sure why you targeted your reply to me. Either it was an accident or you misunderstood my message. Either way, have a great day!
Woah, the Indian Scam is moving onto another level. The big give away was the accent, now it's going to be even more difficult for some to avoid being scammed. If you get any call like this, Talk to your Bank IMMEDIATELY.
There are people with Indian accents in legal jobs
Accent doesn't matter. If I get some random call telling me there's hackers on my account, hang up. If I get a fake virus popup and it tells me to call a number, turn off the computer. If I get a call saying there was an order on my Amazon account, I go log into Amazon myself and check. Scams don't work for any accent if you use your brain.
If you frequently watch Jim's videos and genuinely worry about scammers sharing your accent tricking you then you're a moron and you've learned nothing.
I love how she has the same haircut as the officer she's impersonating. That's some dedicated method acting
While you gotta hate her, we can all give some brownie points for extra effort.

Me: "Okay, I already got your name, let me hang up and call the actual police number and ask to get redirected to you, and we can continue from there."

Under what circumstance can you call her a victim? she is guilty 100%
If her skin wasn't white this wouldn't even be a discussion. If she was a man, forget about it. But because she's a white woman, everyone instinctively believes she's a victim
@@ElanaVital83 You're a disgusting racist. Labeling someone as guilty publicly on the Internet, even with everything else censored, can lead to a lawsuit against Jim. It's technically slander so you can't outright label someone as guilty, but thanks for showing your racism. Disgusting.

@@ElanaVital83 Did you even watch the video? She was legally confirmed a victim by the police investigation. Sure, I don't quite agree with that either, but at least I don't resort to sexism and racism claiming my own opinion is above the entire work of the police.

Working in financial crime myself and seeing first hand how much money people are scammed out of and how their tactics are constantly changing, it's so important to educate everyone of their tactics.

This is a crazy, twisted, greedy woman helping scammers' in India. She (in the U.K.) definitely is not a victim especially since she is impersonating a top official in the 🇬🇧 and using it to scam fellow citizens like her. Thanks Jim, for this eye opening video. 😳
The police said she is a victim so it is extremely likely there is more story to it. My guess is that she was once a victim of the same scam and was promised to be able to get her money back if she could help scam enough people for them - which she probably wouldn't be able to even if she did.
Did you not hear what Jim said about the police investigation? He's definitely (rightfully) calling out you idiots in a subtle way drawing conclusions without knowing or even WANTING to know any facts (because they'd disprove your BS theories). Looks like the Common Sense Sisters don't live up to their name. It definitely was disgusting though when she played the race card.

@@markymark443 Listen it doesnt really matter what her story is. While if the scammers got one over on her would illicit sympathy from me the second she would decide to hurt others for the selfish motive of helping herself i no longer care.
