I wonder if some of these people even know that they are scamming. This guy seemed like he was actually confused and didn't really understand. Interesting as always! Keep up the great work.
I'd recommend calling the Denton County Sheriff's Department, that's the county in which the scammer business is located. If there's a Justin PD, that also might be a good way to go, but Sheriff's Department outranks the PD, even inside of the city, so it's usually best to go with the SD, since this is likely going to stretch outside the city (unless they happen to live and work inside the city, too). I believe a county sheriff's department is more likely to act on this type of thing, than the FBI, too. There's a lot more red tape with starting a federal investigation than a local one. Ultimately, it will move up the chain, but it will be the locals who take all the action (arrest/prosecution, etc)...of course it's also more likely that these dirtbags would have paid off local law enforcement, but it's difficult to pay off the FBI, and likely much, much more expensive.
Each&Everything I second Scott's suggestion. These videos are great since you're frustrating and wasting the time of people who screw over so many people... even some of my grand-relatives. :( As entertaining as they are, I'd love much more to see them brought to justice.
The level of misinformation this guy pushes is astounding. I mean they all put up fake notices saying you have a virus, but the fact he included the '40 minute time limit' just shows how desperate these people are to get your details.
That requires configuring, and the End user can't see what scammer is doing so most people would be suspicious of allowing access, there are probably other reasons that the scammers don't use it
I actually had an issue with my Windows 10 upgrade when I got a replacement motherboard and I contacted Microsoft. The support agent actually told me to go to fastsupport.com and they used logmein to remote into my computer! Yes, this was the actual Microsoft!
Frio I've been in contact with Microsoft support several times, they connected several times and each time a file was sent direct from a Microsoft server, they never use fastsupport so I don't know who you were in touch with
System Crash in 40 minutes! Holy shit they're really stepping things up trying to scare people and push them into making an irrational decision to pay these scumbags. You get em Michael!
Love your videos. I have received now 3 or 4 calls from these same people using (for me) a new approach. They call telling me they owe me money back then proceed as usual - Windows key plus R............to get to my banking info to put money back. I have left it on several of your and other videos I so enjoy just for awareness. Thanks.
I love it! I just started for my degree in info assurance, cyber security and networking, and seeing this gets me all excited about learning. as bad as it that sounds. I so wish I found you last week, I would have given you a number from a pop up I got.
Ritika Arora also owns Hpc Techs. Specifically, the BBB has received complaints which alleges that Hpc Techs is engaged in practices analogous to a tech support scheme. Complaints suggest the business is using pop-up alerts warning consumers that the consumer's computers have been infected with a virus, and they are directed to call Hpc Techs so that the business may solicit them for computer repair services.
I love how he lists this as part of the paid service. They will "refresh your IP address"...... Oh so your paying someone to *ipconfig /release renew*...lol
Michael Ellwood I work in the tech industry and I am very good but I fell for a scam to the tune of six hundred dollars. Not a tech scam that I would have seen through but I needed money for a car and applied for loans online and ended up getting scammed. We all have our blind spots and they prey on that by emphasizing fear and magnifying it.
I saw the same. His lady also just posted a selfie... If you keep searching you can find the name and address of another couple there in Justin... The rabbit hole is deep.
Each&Everything awesome! I was just about to say, I'm in Texas as well and would have done what I could to give them hell and report them. That's great if they were arrested and charged. The more scammers that get arrested the less people fall for these scams.
Sounds very possible that the lady friend is part of it and whoever she works with doesn't care what BS is going on....or is even somehow part of it all...
+each&everything for one of your next ones, use the hosts file to redirect EVERY web address to the fake "THIS COMPUTER WILL SHUTDOWN IN 40 MINS" page!
You get one star for every scammer you can piss off! I hope you report all the scammers to the government No Call Registry. I know it may not do any good, but I would do it all the same if I could get good phone numbers and legal company names if they had any.
Not only is it a real house, but they actually own it. They bought it 2 years ago. They're even current with their property tax. The co-owner's 3 siblings live there too, it seems. Crazy how much details are out there if you know how to look.
How much trouble? According to his Facebook he flew back to India on November 2nd... Think he'll be back? Apparently she's still in town though... Posted a selfie 6 hours ago.
I love what you are doing, i love seeing you make them sweat their ass off, turns out these idiots aren't active in just the US, i live in Sweden and they keep calling my girlfriend's private phone using Unknown IDs, with the same indian accent and still speaking english.
Crazy! I live in Allen, Texas, just north of Plano! It sucks that there are US-based operators running these scams overseas....disgusts me! Justin is north of Dallas and I can tell you, even though Dallas is noteworthy for telecom and IT industries, Justin would not be a town to harbor a large company running 20 legitimate business! My friend lives near Justin, so it might be interesting to see if this address is just a house or not even a vaild address at all...
I've researched their address. I have their names, workplace, and phone number. I won't post it, but I'm interested in as to who these people are. There were three names that were associated with that location. Two were "international" names and one sounded like an "American" name. Very interesting.
"No, this is the only computer we're going to let you mess with..." So, I am pretty much computer illiterate, so just wondering how you protect your computer while the scammers mess with it?" So... looking up that address, it shows that the Better business Bureau has had complaints against this business for over a year. Guess that shouldn't be a big surprise.
I just called the 888 number and spoke to a guy called Randy and asked him what the deal with the address being a home was, as I was getting ready to "mail" my check. He said that it was the owner's, house after first suggesting it was an office. I said I wasn't mailing a check to a home. He then gave me a random address on the same residential street. I called back and asked him who Dilip Bose was and after a brief pause he said he had no idea. I asked him who the owner of his company was and as typical, the response was "Jordan Smith".
WTF?!? Did he say a wurus? Or was it warwus? lol... That's got to be the worst mispronunciation of "virus" I've heard yet... That 40 minutes till system crash was pretty awesome too. I needs to get me one of them! XD
Apparently, the SonicWall is still active. I have Amazon investigating the provider's legitimacy. We'll see what happens eventually. Why does a VPN need a delivery fee?
I just found your channel and I'm hooked! You're awesome! Do you have a video that explains what "syske" means exactly, another other standard operating processes these scammers use when they fake diagnose the computers? Just trying to understand all the tech talk. Thanks for creating this content.
That bloody walrus infecting your computer, those long tusked buggers!
Don't worry, sir,
I will open a notepad for you...
It s dextop not desktop. You need to add dextop as an achievement.
Kam83 🤣🤣🤣
Nathan we invented the language, excuse us if we don't like some yank traitor fucking it up
Please add the achievement "R as in Romeo"
"System crash in 40 minutes!!!" that is an amazing scan, it actually tells you the time left. Revolutionary and game changing scan.
AND using Amazon to validate their "security" lol
"SYSTEM CRASH IN 40 MINUTES!"
lols!
If a computer could detect the time until a crash happens it would make IT work so mush easier! xD
Wcanywayz
It would make my windows 10 laptop much more bearable to use as I can tell if the computer is gonna friggin crash every 30minutes
I love how he googles this "wiurus" and the google result says that it's often used as a scam to con people out of banking info
2:31 Proposed new achievement: audible typing while the "scan" (tree or dir /s) is running.
I wonder if some of these people even know that they are scamming. This guy seemed like he was actually confused and didn't really understand. Interesting as always! Keep up the great work.
ContactingTheDead of course they know!
Man, I'd like to have a follow-up on what happens.
And will you be contacting authorities?
Yeah, already reported it to the FBI. Trying to figure out the best way to report it to the authorities in Texas.
I'd recommend calling the Denton County Sheriff's Department, that's the county in which the scammer business is located. If there's a Justin PD, that also might be a good way to go, but Sheriff's Department outranks the PD, even inside of the city, so it's usually best to go with the SD, since this is likely going to stretch outside the city (unless they happen to live and work inside the city, too). I believe a county sheriff's department is more likely to act on this type of thing, than the FBI, too. There's a lot more red tape with starting a federal investigation than a local one.

Love your profile picture, that's all I wanted to say.
It really sucks to have a warus on your compure. Glad you found help with your sof ear.
Gota love the "Each & Everything" line
The level of misinformation this guy pushes is astounding.
I mean they all put up fake notices saying you have a virus, but the fact he included the '40 minute time limit' just shows how desperate these people are to get your details.
wow dude your just uncovered their whole operations
Dewayne Puckett
He's not the only one. There have been so many before him.
The guy has a coke problem? Lotta sniffing. IP protection lmao
zigzagbigbag
He might just be ill. Could be why he's taken up such an awful job.
zigzagbigbag
😂 Possibly
nice name xD zigzagbigbag
I ran across a scammer with the same sniffles. Same guy or many more like him?
Allergies?
You are one of the best scam-busters on the internet. Keep the good work up!
Just put the check in your DROPBOX. did nobody else hear that.
Lol. System crash in 40 minutes :P
Sounds like he has the Windows Update virus.
you have 40 min until police arrive...
Connected to Microsoft helpdesk yet uses a 3rd party login tool, they talk so much shit
Don't they realize that Windows has a built-in remote tool?
That requires configuring, and the End user can't see what scammer is doing so most people would be suspicious of allowing access, there are probably other reasons that the scammers don't use it
tom warner what I mean is if they were legitimately Microsoft they don't need 3rd party tools
I actually had an issue with my Windows 10 upgrade when I got a replacement motherboard and I contacted Microsoft. The support agent actually told me to go to fastsupport.com and they used logmein to remote into my computer! Yes, this was the actual Microsoft!
Frio I've been in contact with Microsoft support several times, they connected several times and each time a file was sent direct from a Microsoft server, they never use fastsupport so I don't know who you were in touch with
Can't pronounce the letter V.....picks Victor as his name.....
The production value/ conceptual comedic merit of this is high.
Godaddy hosting. You should report to get their website pulled.
OH NO!! You have a "Walrus"??? Those are terrible to get on your computer.
Did he say "walrus" instead of "virus". Usually, they sound like they're saying "wireless" but this one was the worst.
BRAVO, thank you " each & everything" sir! I called and got a message the number is not accepting calls! I used a fake # of course.
I've NEVER seen this virtual check thing before! They are disgusting scummers!
You're patience (and acting!) is AMAZING!
System Crash in 40 minutes! Holy shit they're really stepping things up trying to scare people and push them into making an irrational decision to pay these scumbags. You get em Michael!
Love your videos. I have received now 3 or 4 calls from these same people using (for me) a new approach. They call telling me they owe me money back then proceed as usual - Windows key plus R............to get to my banking info to put money back. I have left it on several of your and other videos I so enjoy just for awareness. Thanks.
+Karen Lewis that's an interesting one! If you could post or email one of the phone numbers I would love to call them.
this guy was in-depth lmao. but that yellow high liter was irritating me.
You are amazing. Keep up the good work. Looks like they put their house up for sale.And has a D rating with the BBB
This dude is in Justin Texas?? I should pay him a visit
Edit: He's 20 miles away from me I might actually do this
Make sure you turn this over as evidence. A US address will go a long way.
Remember kids, beware of the dreaded walruses!
The achievement notifications killed me lol
He just used the whole list of...host ip addresses to imitate hacking...
But don't you see the foreign IPs?!
Love it. Good job dude! I usually just put them on hold.
I love it! I just started for my degree in info assurance, cyber security and networking, and seeing this gets me all excited about learning. as bad as it that sounds. I so wish I found you last week, I would have given you a number from a pop up I got.
I love the achievements! How did you make that?
GrAvicii W probably in post production thats my guess
*slow claps* 🙌 🙌 🙌
Standing ovation...!!!!

Jay B Amazing service 10/10 would definitely recommend 👌🏻😂
Yea right, the fuckers got me for five hundred dollars, simply because I am a fucking idiot.!!!
Michael Ellwood I work in the tech industry and I am very good but I fell for a scam to the tune of six hundred dollars. Not a tech scam that I would have seen through but I needed money for a car and applied for loans online and ended up getting scammed. We all have our blind spots and they prey on that by emphasizing fear and magnifying it.
I get paid to do that from time to time lmao
great work man. we need more people like you. I'm sick of these fucks calling my damn phone
I can't believe you had that many Walruses!
I live in Plano Texas. Is there anything I can do? Can you give me the name/address of the company that woman works for?
My understanding from a source in the area is that the owner has already been arrested :)
I saw the same. His lady also just posted a selfie...
If you keep searching you can find the name and address of another couple there in Justin... The rabbit hole is deep.
Each&Everything awesome! I was just about to say, I'm in Texas as well and would have done what I could to give them hell and report them.
That's great if they were arrested and charged. The more scammers that get arrested the less people fall for these scams.
what's her name?
Plano is a big city lol. Would've never imagined this scumbag would be so close to where I live. Frisco Area.
Scammer says the info the check will not be visible to him but he knows which parts are missing.
the achievement unlocked alerts have me rollin
Sounds very possible that the lady friend is part of it and whoever she works with doesn't care what BS is going on....or is even somehow part of it all...
I live 8 min from this guy want me to put nails in the street by his house?...lol
If you live that close kick in his door
That VapIt Services website is so full of grammatical errors it's a dead giveaway.
+each&everything for one of your next ones, use the hosts file to redirect EVERY web address to the fake "THIS COMPUTER WILL SHUTDOWN IN 40 MINS" page!
This way it is using their own 'malware' against themselves. :D
"Watch me like a tee wee show" is my next pick up line.
Politely disarm your opponent, live to see another day. Tomorrow is different. Are you?
You get one star for every scammer you can piss off! I hope you report all the scammers to the government No Call Registry. I know it may not do any good, but I would do it all the same if I could get good phone numbers and legal company names if they had any.
How many times did he say "Security" he said it 3 times when I was typing this!
THANKS FOR THESE PLZ KEEP EM COMING - LOLS AND SOME LEARNING AT SAME TIME , CAN'T BEAT IT.
"I need to remove all the hackers from your computer" if you remove all the hackers then how are you going to fix the computer?
looks like the legendary B.W.O.D "Black Web page Of Death"
You know, a diligent citizen would probably send this information to the Justin, TX local media.
or label the location as a TSS artist.
that's what I thought, or the police
his address is probably fake too. He's probably just making it look like he lives in the US.
Nope, BIG updates coming soon from law enforcement in TX and NJ. These guys are really living in the US, and they're REALLY in trouble.
Not only is it a real house, but they actually own it. They bought it 2 years ago. They're even current with their property tax. The co-owner's 3 siblings live there too, it seems. Crazy how much details are out there if you know how to look.
How much trouble? According to his Facebook he flew back to India on November 2nd... Think he'll be back?
Apparently she's still in town though... Posted a selfie 6 hours ago.
I love what you are doing, i love seeing you make them sweat their ass off, turns out these idiots aren't active in just the US, i live in Sweden and they keep calling my girlfriend's private phone using Unknown IDs, with the same indian accent and still speaking english.
Each&Everything any updates tho
The achievement unlocks make this so much more entertaining than it already is! Hahaha!
There's got to be a way to send them a few Trojans.
Atleast he was telling you the truth i hope he was any way
Vindows key MUST be an achievement
Now they're known as HPC techs LLC at that same address 😡
And "ToNewDigital"
Now VAP IT Services
9:36 softwares ? 9:49 refresh IP ? Recover drivers? Securities ? 12:08 Lifetime all textbook
As of today, 07 January 2017, they're still in business - unbelievable.
There should be a counter of how many times the scammer says each and everything
i live very near to Plano and Justin texas. would be very interested to know what company it was.
Escutcheon Technologies, LLC
lol 127.0.0.1 these are the people hacking your computer
Good Job Tracing them down!!!
I live in the Dallas area. I would LOVE to pay them a visit for you.
Denton here, that could be fun!
Microsoft and SonicWall are you listening? Bring those scammers down for false advertising!
Crazy! I live in Allen, Texas, just north of Plano! It sucks that there are US-based operators running these scams overseas....disgusts me!
Justin is north of Dallas and I can tell you, even though Dallas is noteworthy for telecom and IT industries, Justin would not be a town to harbor a large company running 20 legitimate business! My friend lives near Justin, so it might be interesting to see if this address is just a house or not even a vaild address at all...
NEW ACHIEVEMENTS
1.Wirus
2.Notepad
3.Microsoft Certified Technician
4.Phones
5.Best Security
These hackers details should not be censored.
How about informing the police before making any contact with the owners and take them by suprise?
You think he didn't do that before uploading this video? There was an arrest made according to the OP.
I love these! Keep us updated!
Played this guy like a fool.
Call from a Delhi phone number, and insist you are in Washington DC.
Lol
It's possible they're stolen identities. I hope you made an FBI report then they can be monitored for when someone decides to touch the money.
I've researched their address. I have their names, workplace, and phone number. I won't post it, but I'm interested in as to who these people are. There were three names that were associated with that location. Two were "international" names and one sounded like an "American" name. Very interesting.
"No, this is the only computer we're going to let you mess with..." So, I am pretty much computer illiterate, so just wondering how you protect your computer while the scammers mess with it?"
So... looking up that address, it shows that the Better business Bureau has had complaints against this business for over a year. Guess that shouldn't be a big surprise.
grace day ,he runs a virtual machine on his computer
usually when scammer has been outed he tries to del all files and syskey the pc. However he is trapped in a VM which can be recovered in minutes.
Make 2 tech support scammers call each other.
Your computer appears to have a walrus.
Come onnnn @Each&Everything! Why are you censoring this!? You *must* expose these fuckers, it's probably the only language they understand!
I just called the 888 number and spoke to a guy called Randy and asked him what the deal with the address being a home was, as I was getting ready to "mail" my check. He said that it was the owner's, house after first suggesting it was an office. I said I wasn't mailing a check to a home. He then gave me a random address on the same residential street. I called back and asked him who Dilip Bose was and after a brief pause he said he had no idea. I asked him who the owner of his company was and as typical, the response was "Jordan Smith".
Really, Bing?
WTF?!? Did he say a wurus? Or was it warwus? lol... That's got to be the worst mispronunciation of "virus" I've heard yet... That 40 minutes till system crash was pretty awesome too. I needs to get me one of them! XD
There should be an achievement where "Letter as in word" example: R as in river
They have gotten innovative with their tactics lol
Using Amazon to validate their "security" lol
Apparently, the SonicWall is still active. I have Amazon investigating the provider's legitimacy. We'll see what happens eventually. Why does a VPN need a delivery fee?
NOT THE WURRESSES!!!!!
Dat GT-R wallpaper! C'mon man, where's dat Tesla Model S P100D tho
This is a secure site. i won't even be able to see it. A few moments latter. Be sure to fill out the check number and I'll fill out this info.
Going to check that address. Will update.
Two more achievements you need to add to the tally, “thanks for asking” and Indian accent with Western name.
that number is still on lockdown.
I just found your channel and I'm hooked! You're awesome! Do you have a video that explains what "syske" means exactly, another other standard operating processes these scammers use when they fake diagnose the computers? Just trying to understand all the tech talk. Thanks for creating this content.
Isn't the guy (property owner) likely a victim of identity theft, or no?
