That's how it usually starts but there are direct calls as well. I myself have received three calls and so has my elderly Mother. I've taught her not to entertain such calls and the dangers involved.
I picked lady up from her house took her to the bank waited a hour at the bank I went inside because was taking too long she assured me that she will pay me just to wait than she will need a ride to Walmart when we got to Walmart she got out and I see that she is upset and I over heard her telling her what to do with cash and not to speak to the driver or let any one know I asked if she was ok and she said yes and I said mam if ur sending money to some one it’s a scam at this point we were at Walmart and she explained to me that they were threatening her with jail time if she did not hand over that 27k in cash she pulled all her savings and she had a broken leg I said I’m not letting u get scammed there is a police station up the road and I’ll take u there so that’s what I did and cop could not believe it when he asked her to show him the cash cop explained to her that they don’t take people to jail she called me next day and thanked me again
@@everetthobbies2062 You are most welcome, sir. Sorry for the late reply. I just woke up about 40 minutes ago. Good morning from this side of the world. Have a restful evening. 🙏🏾❤️
Pretty much the only people that do are people who are mentally handicapped or so old they can't discern from real or fake calls. That's why I have no issue with handing out extreme punishments for scammers since their work is entirely built on taking advantage of the vulnerable and the poor
She needs to get ahold of her bank and make sure she uninstalls any programs they put on her phone or computer. I hope she got the help she needed beyond this. Great job!
Just when you're ready to give up on this world and its people you see something like this and it restores your faith. This lady is incredibly blessed that this taxi driver and this officer crossed her path. Getting involved is the first step to making the world better. ❤
Scammers are quickly becoming one of the biggest dangers to average folks. Identity theft, skimming, outright scams and deceptions, etc. Sadly it recieves far less resources than it should.
The victim needs support. Hopefully, her family were informed of what led up to this video. The scammers will continue to try her. Kudos to the cab driver and officer.
In Canada, when I had a scammer call, I baffled him with BS to the point he hung up. So I kept calling him back until he told me not to call back anymore and promised to take me off the list. That was in 2017. Never had a call again. He did not know that I was a tax specialist. Too funny! There should be a "Beware" program offered to seniors to make them aware.
The fact that nothing ever gets done to the people that make these calls is sickening. I can only assume that they are from out of country and that the officials in their country won’t do anything to prevent this (or the officials get a cut) ? I get 1-2 calls daily, mix of texts about ‘my undelivered packages’ or ‘to reset my pin because of unusual activity’, or calls from some extremely angry Chinese lady (which is really a waste since I don’t understand Chinese so couldn’t fall into the scam). But it’s really just a fricken nuisance!
She was scared they threatened her with jail time and she had a broken leg and was going through a hard time they telling her not to tell any family member or talk to any one they also told her to tell the bank she is remodeling her home and if she pays with cash she gets a discount
There are a lot of such things originating from India. There are lots of thugs being taught English "with the right accent" to work in such call centres. They make a vulgar amount of money too every single day!
Up until recently I'd always had the false assumption that people cannot be extradited to the USA for crimes like this...but sure enough it's happened already(Nigerians...not sure if country matters). They need to do it more... it'll get the scammers to think twice hopefully.
readers digest used to milk my grampa for money til my aunt judy called and asked them to leave him TF alone. but seniors today are dealing with a whole new level of scamming, making readers digest look wholesome for their gentle fleecing.
What? Did you grandpa used to read them? If he was actively reading the magazines, how was he getting scammed? Did you or your cousins ever read the magazines? I used to love reading Reader's Digest at my grandparents...
Was this started from a computer then led to a call?

@@everetthobbies2062 Well done! Some heroes drive taxis.

Kudos to the taxi driver,
Thank you ❤
Great job by the driver and the cops. Nicely done.
These scams have been going on for so long I am surprized that people still fall for them.

People with dementia are not able to learn. The scammers know exactly how to push the right buttons to get the money.
Myself almost felt for it. I had a gut feeling and hung up. When I did I got a call back then a text saying he wasn't a scammer 😂
The scammer immediately knew exactly what to say in this situation. They are getting pretty advanced.
She needs to get ahold of her bank and make sure she uninstalls any programs they put on her phone or computer. I hope she got the help she needed beyond this. Great job!
Well done to that police officer and the taxi driver ❤
Well done taxi driver. You've stopped a scammer who preys on innocent people. God bless you and I mean that from my heart.

Well done officer!!!
The victim needs support. Hopefully, her family were informed of what led up to this video. The scammers will continue to try her. Kudos to the cab driver and officer.
She'll be getting a call soon from Microsoft Support, and they'll fix her up...

scammers are POS.. I am glad the officer got to save the lady from a bad idea.. I back the thin blue line..

Because they are on other countries out of reach
Me too. All of the above
Sending $27,000 for what? What's the matter with you lady?

Even Indian nationalities detest these scammers. They are giving all Indians a bad name.
Well done folks.
Good job everyone.
I Love the Popo 🚓🚨💙
As bad as timeshares …..
It's the IRS her taxes are due! FTP
The scammers now know they have a hot one so she'll be getting hammered with dozens of calls per day until she relents and becomes penniless.
Up until recently I'd always had the false assumption that people cannot be extradited to the USA for crimes like this...but sure enough it's happened already(Nigerians...not sure if country matters).

How did the magazine milk your grandpa?

That was boring
You can always record the police
Sure but when they are actually serving “the public good” it is nice to be respectful and ask anyway, they are people too.
Grifters, scammers need to get a real job which is what hard working people who have pride, dignity, honor do.
