Asmongold Reacts to "Pranks Destroy Scam Callers- GlitterBomb Payback" by Mark Rober 

They tried to get my 73 year-old mom with this type of scam. Luckily, she caught on before it was too late. The youtubers (and there are several of them) that go after these scammers are saints.

I worked for GeekSquad for a year in tech support. Many times have old folks called me for help. The only thing i could do is take the scammers off their PC but all that money would be gone. One time a old fellow got hit for 12k and my heart sunk when i had to tell him that all that money was gone with no way to get it back. Fuck all of them scammers.

People in comments screaming "THAT'S KITBOGA!" when they were talking about Bessie. No, that was an actual scam call made with an elderly person named Bessie, and they saved her from losing money.

There’s a special place in hell for someone who would proceed to scam an old lady with cancer

Jim Browning is a Legend and a literal hacking god, Real heroes my Dudes.

I remember running into my Grandma's room diving at her phone because she was half-way done reading her SSN to a scammer. I remember she got a call once too, the scammer claimed to be my brother, had all his information, and was telling my Grandma he (pretending to be my brother) was in a car accident in New Mexico and needed money for medical expenses. It was fortunate I was there to stop all of it, but these scammers are serious pieces of shit. Whenever my Grandma gets a call, she can't tell if it's a scammer or a real call about her doctor appointments or insurance, etc. I hate that these scammer target the elderly. It's good to see that some scammers are getting karma and much love to those who are fighting them.

Everyone is brave until the cockroach starts flying.

My grandpa gets these scam calls all the time, but he's smart enough to never fall for them. If anything, when he's bored, he will answer and just mess with them to see how long they will stay on the line. It's usually not long. Per example: He gets A LOT of Amazon scam calls. While I've ordered things on Amazon for him (send it to his house), he doesn't have an Amazon account so he knows it's an instant scam. Many times he will say to them "I'm having trouble hearing you as I have 2 hearing aids. Can you speak louder and in English so I can understand you better?" Most times, they hang up right here. One scam call was somebody trying to sell him Viagra. Yeah, he loved messing with them. Grandpa: "You want to sell me Viagra? What's that for?" (He knew just wanted them to say it) Scammer: "Well it's for sex." Grandpa: "Well, I'm a widower and so I won't need any Viagra, unless you're going to come and give me some sex." * They hang up * I think over the years, the spam calls have decreased. My guess he's annoyed many of them that they removed him from their call list as they know he will never fall for it. (Edit: Had to fix the line breaks since RU-vid screwed them up and put A LOT of extra lines.)

Being from Kolkata where these offices are located, I feel ashamed of these people. Me and my friends who worked in the IT sector quite close to these offices had often tipped the authorities about such practices. Like the video said, the police basically knows what's going on. But the Government is inept and refuses to take any action. The locals here with any sort of internet knowledge also dislike the scammers. Just a bunch of scumbags.

Asmon slamming the chat for complaining about the ad was great 😂

Kitboga, Jim Browning, ScammingPayback, and Trilogy Media are some of the best scam baiters I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and learn from.

I got scammed in Runescape when I was 11, i kept the knowledge of that and thankfully have never been scammed irl

Jim browning: hacker, eyes in the sky Mark rober: inventor, makes the gear for the boys. Trilogy media: boots on the ground, front line men. A dangerous combination, for scammers

I’ve been following these anti scam channels for years. Telling everyone I could about these scams. I even learned a bit of Hindi to swear at them when they call me. 😊

No, there ARE stingless bees. That guy just didn't have any and wanted to rip off some foreigners.

Those poor cockroaches and rats having to deal with those scum.

There's a dude with a voice changer who keeps these guys talking as long as possible. Sometimes in excess of 10 hours. The rage when they figure that out is hilarious

I love seeing scammers getting messed with.

I live in the Philippines and I used to work for a call center that had an account (department) for different QuickBooks services/products. It is extremely exhausting to fight off these scammers. They often target QuickBooks users with Payroll services and then they call us to gain access. Unfortunately, as long as they have all the basic info and SSN, they can easily obtain and infiltrate your QuickBooks files and such. Yes, these scammers are from India.

Bruh hearing the victim's voices broke my heart man how can these scammers be so heartless

when I was in the military, a friend of mine came to work one day telling me about a part-time job he had gotten. This guy didn’t seem like a particular dumb guy, but after asking him some questions it was obvious that he was involved in a check cashing scam. When I told him, he thought I was wrong. I took him to a computer and pulled up a web page that described the scam he was involved with and finally was able to talk some sense into him.

One time I was doing a dungeon with some people (in an MMORPG called Dofus) and something touched my foot, so I looked down and screamed because it was a pretty big scorpion, but I still had to help in the dungeon. I had moved my foot so the scorpion started walking around and I had to stop it before it went where I couldn't find it. I grabbed the nearest item (a plastic fork) and stabbed at it, pinning it to the floor. The fork wasn't IN the scorpion because it wasn't sharp, and the scorpion had a pretty strong back exoskeleton. So now I have 1 hand holding a fork on the ground, and the other hand needs to be finishing the dungeon. If I move the fork, the scorpion will run. So I'm sitting there for 45 minutes playing my game with 1 hand on the table and my other hand down towards the ground. After the dungeon was done, I finnaly.had time to think about how to fix the problem, and somehow I got the scorpion into a ziplock bag, and the next morning I took it into a store where some of the other people in the dungeon worked and showed it to them.

Every person associated with a scam center should have their personal info displayed publicly so people that lost everything to them can make their own justice.

"What are you doing in that call center?" "Sir, Finishing The Fight."

The reaction to people complaining in chat about the ad is the exact reason why i watch your react content, even if i normaly cant really stand that shit. You try to bring the stuff you like into the limelight and provide value to the people who made it, not leeching on them.

If you don't personally know the Indian person on the other end of the phone call its a scam. -Words from my Indian friend

"It'd be cool if banks could review large transfers and suspicious financial decisions" Bro that's just called banking in Canada.... I haven't heard of a single bank that doesn't do that for much smaller amounts. I commissioned art from a guy in Mexico and they froze my account until they figured out what it was for.

It's good to know someone's doing something about this horrible stuff! Thank you for this video!

I'm a Westerner who's been living in India for 10 years now. I'm looking at the young people sitting in those offices and got a pretty good idea of what kind of people they are. Relatively recent grads, unmarried, from low repute colleges - the max their parents could afford to send them to. They are educated enough to qualify for a job that requires English, but their schools don't carry the names to enable them for placement in any proper decent paying company. There are plenty of such young people in India and they often end up working as store clerks in malls or even as security guards (my building's security guard has an engineering degree from a small town college). Many families put huge pressure though on their kids to get an 'office job' which is technically seen above sales clerks and security guards. Why do they put that pressure? Because they aim to marry their kids off latest by age 25 and for that your kid - regardless of gender - better be earning and placed in a 'proper job' aka 'office job'. This is how some young people end up in offices like that. What you see here are bottom-of-the-barrel folks that couldn't be placed anywhere else and with their families sitting in their necks about getting a job fast so they can marry. Doesn't make any of this shit right, of course. These companies need to be brought down. It's a joke the government turns such a blind eye to it. I'm pretty sure I know why too. India tends to have no issues whatsoever with any entity generating cash flow into the country. It's ridiculously easy to transfer money here. But god forbid you want to transfer anything out, even if it's your own money to your own foreign account. It's a huge headache. I guess if they acknowledged the problem, they fear they might actually have to reimburse people abroad. Though I'm really not sure about the legalities concerning the prosecution of international fraud. But such videos are super important, cause if there's one thing the Indian government fears it's bad international press. They are super self-conscious about their reputation, especially in front of the West. Spread that shit far and wide and tag concerning Indian government officials if possible. They won't lift a finger for justice's sake or for moral reason, but if it's about their image suddenly a lot of things can happen. About the call centers they couldn't manage to shut down despite informing the authorities... well... you know those call centers already pulled enough money to pay off the right people on a regular basis. Once you figure that, there is no point in contacting that layer or authority. You need to go one step up. But even then it can happen that whoever you contact will just go and attempt to collect 'their share' and if successful act as if nothing happened. So you'll need to continue going steps up until that guy's bribe level is above their pay grade.

Cockroaches aren’t a big deal until those fckers start flying at you lol

Only a matter of time before someone sends them a package that isn’t a prank.

This is so good!!! I’m glad ppl are out there trying to stop scammers and actually making progress! I’m definitely heading over to their videos!!! I absolutely love this!!!

Jim Browning is amazing. Love the video where he let's a scammer into his virtual machine where the scammer finds a photo of himself and his family. Then he address the scammer by his real name. Browning is Internet Batman.

The fact that asmon always shares the video, watches the ads, and even puts the links in the description, makes me respect him even more

I'm usually very calm and don't like violence at all but these scammers man, they make my blood boil to the point I fantasize about smashing their heads into concrete. It's just so damn disgusting and sad to hear these poor old people be manipulated like that. Don't they stop to think how they would feel if someone did this to their parents or grandparents.. Maybe they think that everyone in the west is living in luxury and has all the money in the world so it doesn't matter or something. I'm just trying to understand how they can do this and sleep at night.

This crew deserve a medal. Real honorable men.

Kit Boga is the king of exposing scammers. There's a bunch of people trying to copy what he does, but none of them come close to his level of expertise and trolling.

Fun fact, if you didn't know: the guy reacting to the fart spray at 14:31 is _the_ Macaulay Culkin! He made a guest appearance on one of the glitter bomb videos since they were inspired by Home Alone.

I wouldnt be suprised if Justin Trudeau worked in an indian call center

Love you doing this type of vid!

If our boys have all this info on the scammers perhaps they could go a little further and send the info of what they actually do to their parents. Nothing straightens people out like parental disappointment.

also Jim Browning

Scammer Payback is a good guy i frequently watch

These boys have my absolute respect, and my sub. Adapt and overcome, finish the mission. Bro, these guys were more effective then law enforcement at taking down these tools, this was some CIA ops ran by RU-vidrs. Ok maybe that's a bit much, but still, they rigged these scammers building like a mission impossible sting. Its damn impressive. Btw those crooks were talking about shooting them, the glitter boys should have absolutely used the bee's man. Just say'n.

Don’t answer the phone if you don’t know who’s calling. If it’s legit, they will leave a message. Banks and IRS I think will never call you.

thanks for sharing this with your community, this really needs to get out there everywhere because its really sad to hear about someone you know or family member fall for this sort of stuff.

mark sends a packet to them. internet: "WAOOWWWW" jim hacks their infrastructure for years and years. internet: "who is jim browning?"

Hearing those calls is just breaking my heart...

21:32 "theyre farming old people" fucking killed me

I must applaud this guy. His antics will clearly give a loud warning call to all the people who decided to call me and beg me to send them money pretending to be my energy company or Amazon Prime because I am almost 50 years old so they think they can get me. I've learned my lesson after accessing a site to fix my printer and them jacking my computer and charging me $400. X(

“Oh you thought it wasn’t.” Love it.

I LOVE playing with these scam callers! I've been yelled at and threatened with jail time. Its hilarious to see how angry they get!

this is why channels like Kit Boga and Jim Browning are so important.

27:45 banks actually have that; there've been some cases when the tellers actually try to stop the transaction and explain the person that this amount of money is suspicious, or ask them what is this for to try and assist them, but if you as the owner of your account insist to withdraw that money they can't do anything else more than give you advise.

"I think I just had a $20B idea, guys!" You going to open your own scam call center? Sounds like a moneymaker to me.

“People are _fucking_ Animals” - Asmongold 2022 😂

As someone who has worked for a bank for a long time, I can tell you that the banks don't want their customers to get scammed either. Unfortunately because of federal regulation they can not withhold money from their clients for any reason. What's really sad about these situations is the phycological warfare going on during these interaction. These people getting scammed are truly convinced this is real, to the point of aggression. Its really cool to see people doing things like this, and Asmond's commentary is legendary!

So glad people are watching this video. Everytime I open youtube now I see someone reacting to it

These men are heros with no capes

Love your reaction videos 🤣. You often get me to check others channels out. You got some great commentary always a good laugh. Also your very well spoken, no holding back 😁👍

Mark Rober's other giltter bomb videos are a great watch. Also, they may not always do it, but there are banks that do inform older people of scams if they try to withdraw large amounts of money since they are suspicious.

There is actually an easy way to stop this, but the phone companies make to much money allowing it, so it won't happen. Give the option to block calls from incoming calls that the caller-id doesn't match the actual source number. All incoming calls to a company have essentially metadata. This is source information, flags like caller-id block, caller-id etc. This is especially easier now versus 10 or 20 years ago since almost all carrier traffic is SIP based anymore. These companies spoof caller-id often of local known numbers and that is why they get through and blocking numbers doesn't work. Most phone systems actually have options like this built in, they just aren't used. The catch is phone companies turn around and can bill incoming carriers for calls they deliver from their systems. So Verizon is making millions billing the phone company in India that is sending the calls.

Nothing more satisfying than the kinds of videos mark Rober and others on RU-vid make utterly destroying these scammer jerks

Love the Studio C decal on the door!

It just hit 1 mil likes, I love this connected world we now live in, 29 years ago when these scam centres started you'd NEVER be able to get viral attention on taking one down like this, let alone be able to connect with anyone in the world who could help with such endeavors

Kitboga is awesome at trolling these scammed.

Most banks do have systems in place that will alert both the bank and the account holder when an unusual amount is removed from the account, or if said amount is transferred or withdrawn from unusual locations or sources. The issue there, though, is that a lot of times the account holder has to actually manually activate these systems in their account, which isn’t gonna be done very often by elderly with no knowledge or experience with such technology.

Using their prankster powers for good instead of evil.

Funny, just yesterday my mother was called by one of them. As she was willing to go through with the call, I overheard what was going on. I was tempted to grab the phone out of her hand shout some insults and hang off, but instead i just made her hang up. But it didn't end there, they called her like 4 times. She had to block the number, then she got called by a new number, and another new one. She had to block 4 numbers in the end just to end it. Kinda shows you how fucking desperate they are to get some money out of you

I bet as soon as they took the “arrest photos” they went right back to the office.

That call ended up being a main play point in the bee keeper

I like that those dudes were ready to eat bullets so they could plant stink bombs and roaches xD

This was freaking insane, man. I'm amazed that these guys could pull this off.

Asmongold - you do give us something - you make us smile and laugh - keep up your GREAT work

"There's a lot of things you can do about it, but what are you willing to do?"- Dangerous Words.

This is the type of prank videos I wanna see

My grandparents are very tech savvy. At least my grandmother was and my grandfather is in the know. He's like those youtubers that string the scammers along. My grandmother isn't with us anymore, but ironically her mother was very susceptible to these things.

Scamers pretended to be my older friends mobile company, told him he had to pay $90 a month for this mobile account or they would fine him, they almost got him to he was so stressed they would take the money out of his bank account but like its a prepaid sim the man pays with cash he never gave them his bank details he never had to. Abvously sus right so I looked into it turned out that his provider doesnt even have a $90 plan.. Guy is close to 90yrs old, these older generations are so easyly scammed because people didnt used to be so f king evil its that simple the world is getting more and more cruel and twisted sadly.

LMFAO BRO MY INITIAL REACTION W THE COCROACHES WAS TO STOMP i had the same thought you had lmfao

0:28 literal world war sniper ass action. He would let a snake go across him just to get his shot

0:00 I've delved into anti-scammer shenanigans and I love it intersecting with Mark Rober via his package-theft countering Glitter bomb series. Already watched Mark's video, so I look forward to Asmon's reactions and commentary. I can tell it'll be good based on the thumbnail reaction to the rats. 🤣

Mesi is an absolute legend risking his wellbeing doing this hat's off to him!

Great reaction video as always. I love your channel. I fall asleep watching it everyday and then I don’t fall asleep cuz it’s so damn entertaining lol

Yup. I freaking love ya… Love how u even watched the add…. Ur just an awesome dude

Why glitter bombs and roaches? Just send anthrax.

the reason why the indian government isnt cracking down on this even if they could is simply because this is actually developing the country you take foreign money and convert it into indian money so it is a benefit as a while

Mark Rober rocks dude. It's so great watching his videos with asmongold!

This is literally a PG version of the beekeeper movie without all the blood and death.

When I was in my first year of highschool after the school day had ended we got on the bus to head home and there was this dude panicking like crazy at the back of the bus turns out he "owed 50,000 to the IRS" which we don't have in NZ it was clearly a scam but the guy had no idea, we convinced him it was a scam but it was too late he had already sent 10,000 to these scammers, guy broke down crying when he found out it was a scam.

Mark Rober is the man!

The way he says "cock-a-roach" and "woaasps" really captivates the viewer.

man these needs to be in netflix is so movie , like i bet this dude's scammer hunter plan is so much more better than some movies netflix adds to their platform , hopefully they make more of these

These scammers make my life hell as well. I work for the enrollment dept of one of the largest Medicare Advantage companies in the U.S. and so often these ppl think I'm fraud because of these terrible people. If you or someone you know is in Medicare here's some tips, a. Ask me to prove myself. I will not be offended, in fact I LOVE these people because you are protecting yourself as you should be and not blindly accepting. Things you can ask me are for the Application Tracking Number, also called ATN or Confirmation number. (You will also need to be sure you gather this information from your broker to ensure mine matches yours.) The only people who will have this information are the people handling your application and this number is totally random with multiple possible formats. I can also tell you who your broker was (but will need a moment to pull that up as only paper applications may have the agents name written on it, and even that's not for sure. They ask will have the agents NPN or national producer number though, so I can look this up if you give me a moment.) I know the instinct is to hang up if I can't immediately answer but that just hurts yourself because I'm at the mercy of a database and if they are updating it, it could be slow at that moment. I CANNOT validate my identity by telling you your date of birth, address, or anything ride about yourself. I can see it sure, but let's say I mis-dialed and called the wrong #, I would then be providing your protected information to a stranger and risking your identity be stolen, which I'm not willing to do. You do have the option of calling in yourself, but then your going to get a general customer service rep who will not be a knowledgeable about your issue as I am, especially if the issue is special enrollment periods or medicaid benefits. Before you fault them, those poor folks have to be helpful on far too many topics, claims, billing, enrollment, benefit coverage, demographic updates, provider listing, and 10,000 more topics. They are jacks of all trades but masters of none, whereas all I do all day every day is call people and resolve enrollment issues so I am a master of my corner of the Medicare universe Also, be patient and not offended in the occasions we do call on a weekend. Weekends calls do not equal fraud, they equal we are in a busy enrollment period and I'm working EVERY DAY, ALL DAY to ensure you or your loved one has coverage when you need it, and try to get to you in time to submit a correction if needed. Before you tell at me for calling during dinner please understand I'm surviving on junk working hour 15 of my shift today and have 4 months more of the same in front of me. Sorry your dinner is interrupted but I haven't seen my nephews or eaten a proper meal in months, all to help YOU. Same with calling on the weekends. We don't work weekends unless it's a busy enrolment period like AEP, just be glad I'm calling you in time to resolve an issue before AEP ends and you lose your chance to apply for a plan your eligible for. Between October and April, be wary, ask questions, but also please be nice to your enrollment reps, until Medicare changes their system it sucks for all of us.

these people chose to sneak pranks in, if other groups were this passionate about getting at these people we all know much worse could have been snuck in

I always tell my parents (in their 70s+) to never trust anyone who calls them saying their last 4 didgets in their ''id-number'' is leaked (Sweden). At lest every 2-3 months some scammer calls them too have them log into ''Bank ID'' by claming leaked numbers so they can steal whatever they have in their accounts. Im just so relived that they NEVER have fallen for this scam, but I'll keep telling them anyway to never trust someone on the phone, snailmail or email.

I love Mark Rober vids he does a good job with his fun engineering videos.

Totally unrelated to the most of the video but when Asmon mentions being 44/45 in halo 2 that is more impressive than you may think if you weren't around in those days. Anything past 40 you were going to frequently encounter modders or people forcing host and then lag switching making the game unplayable for anyone but the host and his friends (was done thru firewall rules or some shit i forget, it was a p2p game). I could remember grinding team snipers alllll night and we'd only get maybe 4-5 fair matches. It got to the point i learned how to force host to myself but then not use it to cheat , just to avoid cheaters having host in the match so yeah gigachad lil halo asmon

Step 1: Let unabomber out Step 2: Let unabomber get scammed by these guys Step 3: Eat some popcorn

nice to see scammers getting wrecked and shit on. I am also getting some calls from Call Centers here in Switzerland and it's tyring.

Even a rat wouldn't bug me Hahahaaa!!! Wasps or hornets are a whole different thing though!
