Busting the Scammers - The World Wide Investigation | 7NEWS Spotlight 

Jim Browning is a legend I’m glad you guys got him to do a story with you.

My heart goes out to the lady battling with cancer and what a relief to see her get the help!

Having watched the videos by Pleasant Green, Jim Browning, Mark Rober etc., this documentary feels like an Avengers-level collaboration to bust these scammers and protect the vulnerable folk they prey. You’re all doing God’s work

These scammers are sickening! To target a cancer patient is pure evil. Kudos to Jim and to all scam baiters. ♥️

Pleasant Green, Jim Browning, Scammer Payback, Karl Rock, trilogy media & more are all doing a collab at the moment. They are all legends!

Do more stories about scammers please, it's pleasing to see how they get caught, how scared they are once they know that busters know who they are, and the way you save ppl's life like that woman is so heart-warming, gets me tears! Thank you for being good ppl!

What drives me crazy is that they have call centers, offices and cubes just like legitimate businesses and Indian government is fine with it.

Watched Jim browning for years on RU-vid. He is an inspiration, mentor and hero to many. Not all heroes wear capes.

Finally I was so excited waiting patiently for this video ,Jim Browning you rock

jim...the whole world know what you are doing for the people...we really appreciated for your work...tons of blessings is upon you...

I'm a scam baiter here in Canada 🇨🇦 I'm glad Jim is a big part of our army! Go Jim Browning!

Jim browning is a legend. I always fallow his videos, his knowledge to take down this people is appreciated so much.

There is a whole army of us fighting the scammers .. Even the small youtube channels are fighting as hard as the big ones ....

Magnificent work Channel 7. You fellas coordinating all over the world deserve a Pulitzer Prize in investigative Journalism.

The rage I feel inside, God forgive me for feeling murderous against these scammers. People of the world please pardon my feelings, but this got to stop as soon as yesterday. Let us all work together against these filthy greasy rats. Love y'all from these United States.

You still get some awesome people in the world who really care about their fellowmen and love to help where they can. May God bless them and also with great wisdom to do their work for humanity. Their rewards will be great at the right time.

I'm from Kolkata, India. I know this place sector 5 very well and little bit this scam industry. This is very unfortunate to see. Local police take their share and allow them to run few giant call centers here. Police and administration should be blamed first.

How can they live with themselves doing this to a person who is both elderly and terminally ill? Disgusting! 😤

Well done 7news spotlight for helping scammed victims 🙏

Jim B and Kitboga are my favorites. Music is a Rainbow is a lot of fun too. What amazes me about Jim (aside from his incredible IT abilities) is how calm he stays when he’s trying to intercept a scam. Just listening to it makes my heart rate go through the roof!

If the police in the countries weren’t dirty, they might actually do there job! It’s heartbreaking these evil people exist.

Jim Browning! He is simply the best!

Excellent production. I wish you would do more stories on scammers and share here. Thank you so much!

Scammers have no heart, no sympathy for others!

I love that people and businesses are fighting back against these scammers. This is my new favorite thing. ❤️ Thank you to all those who help victims! Jim Browning, Scammers Payback & all the others not named. 👏🏻

Telecommunications services providers should do more and even do a ad campaign about telephone scammers... they need to push the message out on scammers so people can avoid getting scammed

This is so amazing!!! So glad I can be a part of taking them out!

I love Jim Brownings voice…watch him all the time…he has educated me

"If the Indian police actually did proper policing"........!? As though it "akshually" needs saying but, the Indian Police are "akshually" in on the scamming.

It made me cry when she said she got it all back. God bless you all. Fantastic work. ♥♥♥

Great Investigation..I appreciate the lengths this team went to investigate. Plus the Aussie law enforcements agencies that are taking this serious and really taking time to hunt these scammers down. Also many thanks to all the scambaiters around the world who spend their time making the scammers suffer!! 😊

Jim Browning played a massive part in this happening, he had waited 2 years for either the UK police or kalkuta police to act so instead he asked for help to get this guys antics out there

Very happy to help. Good job everyone 👏

This is heart wrenching my heart goes out to these victims, I too got scammed by these heartless scumbags😡

Australian companies need to stop using India call centres. It's very confusing when I have to call Australian company's then its gets transferred to Indian call centres. Not been racist i just get paranoid when ever I get a call from Indians. Or the multiple scam sms here in Australia

This was a great production and a lot of work went into it. I look forward to more stories. I know there is more coming.

I had two active numbers claiming to be the ATO, I spent 24 minutes playing with him, I told him my name is Jim Browning, after taking all my false details down he passed me on to a "closer" to get me to pay what I owed, the penny finally droppped after he recognised the name. The first guy was clueless. Jim Browning rocks.

Wow man seeing Jim just makes me so excited.. this guy is a true legend 🙌

I hope you will continue this line of investigation...to the gentleman in Belfast, and to your entire crew, nicely done!

This is a BRILLIANT piece! I am very sceptical of main stream news outlets but when you do stories like this, this restores a little bit of faith that you can do the right thing from time to time. But...the obvious frustration that I could see your reporters experience when trying to assist the victims, is NOTHING in comparison to what multiple people or heroes that do this not even as their job, but as their LIFE! They need more recognition & more support in general but especially from the government's of the countries that are being targeted. If the government of the source of the scams isn't doing anything (or enough), then there needs to be a JOINT/Collaborative effort to SHAME & PRESSURE them into doing something. MORE CAN BE DONE!

If Indian law enforcement authorities won't do anything about these scam call centres, the solution is simple: no more work visas should be granted to Indians wanting to migrate to Australia. No more travel visas to Indians either. No trade with India. Only with such sanctions their government would take action against those who prey on the weakest of our society, and perhaps against the local cops who take a cut and keep it quiet too.

Great work. Covering real news over the Kardashians.

Even the Do Not Call Registry does not phase the phone scammers from dialling your number and its insane. Thank you Jim Browning and fellow scam baiters for slowing down the scammers while the Cyber Crime division of various Police Departments across the globe does nothing about this while ordinary citizens are losing millions to scammers every second.

Thank you Jim Browning! Keep up the good work! BTW, unfortunately, as I also understand from my Indian co-workers, the parents of a lot of the scammers know about their sons'/daughters' scamming activities -- as long as money comes in it does not matter how, apparently...So very sad 😞... It only takes a bit of compassion, conscience and empathy to stay away from scamming.

it makes me smile to work with jims team, great work

Heartless , sick , domed evils , what a rotten world.

I have been watching him for months now and it won't stop any time soon because the Indian police have been paid off

I never answer the phone from a number that is not on my contact list. If it's genuine they will leave a voicemail.

This so awesome. There needs to be a lot more awareness abt this. These scumbags dont have a single cell of compassion in their entire body. Jim Browning is a freaking god. Thank God that he is on our team. We have some amazing scam baiters like Cj Tagow and Pleasant plus tons of others as well as awesome people like Razz, Verginya that do so much behind the scenes that never gets seen. This was masterfully done.

Nothing is done about these scammers. Protect your self and the old folks in your family.

Good! Glad to see someone do something about these criminals!!!

Thank you for this, wonderful work by everyone here. Glad to see Jim Browning get the support he needs and the attention this issue needs for change, but its all up to the indian police and Government

Jim Browning your awesome. A inspiration to all of us scambaiters.

Creating awareness is key to reduce scams

Finally. Been waiting for this one. I wanna see these monsters get locked up.

Jim Browning you are such a hero. Thankyou for using your expertise to get these cockroaches.

My man Jim Browning!!! Doing God's work dishing out justice with these scammers!!! Keep it up!

Jim Browning is the only one to bring down these scammers for good. Jim Browning should bring this matter up to the Indian High Commissioner to the UK and scambaiter should get in touch with Indian embassies to explain these scam in India or the best is to get in touch with media outlets in India, UK, USA and Australia to bring down these scammers.

I LOVE Jim browning! When I clicked this I was hoping he'd be in this. Crazy I've been following him since he had like 50k subs

Jim Browning is the 007 of the internet! He is amazing!! Goes after the scammers!!

Jim Browning is a legend. If you havent seen his RU-vid videos, you should check it out

Jim is a legend his work is invaluable, what a cracking video..

Jim Browning, our hero! I'm a fan boy. I wish I could do what he does. I basically just waste scammers time and insult them in their own tongue.

I love this video!!!! Everyone I watch on RU-vid has teamed up and are working together to stop these fools.

Scam call from India, is now common in Singapore also. Few months back, I used to get scam call almost everyday. If I am not busy, I chat with them and waste their time.

I’m sure Jim you getting all the blessings you deserve Thank god for people like you

An amazing documentary. Gave me the confidence to speak to the scammers and to ask them the questions about what they were doing, why they are doing this form of work and the consequences of their actions for not only the people they scam but about their own future. The two I have spoken are of Christian faith. I ask them how they are going to feel when they stand before their God to account to Him. One male scammer justified his actions due to no other work and a corrupt government (not sure if he was meaning his or ours). The other scammer, a female sounded ashamed. If you are going to speak with them, just be aware that they are worried about other scammers sitting near listening to them and so your questions might need to be yes/no questions and their answers might be quite simple. I followed the pattern of speaking to them that I heard on the show. I also dropped the line that I knew they were in Delta Four in Calcutta. Gave me credibility. Definitely think this documentary should be shown again. Thank you so much for doing it.

The whole world should get together and go after sector 5

Can't their own bank account be compromised and hacked?

Education and awareness is the key to preventing this from happening to more people. Please keep doing more stories. Scambaters are true heros!

Glad to be apart of this community

I'm from Canada & am watching this video I just want to say that may God bless you for helping all these helpless people. I've gotten the Amazon call several times & just ignored it as that I know it's a scam.

Jim is a Legend!

🖐🖐🖐Glad for you guys helping to sort out these criminals !!! I am from South Africa...

There’s also a scam against Australia Post. If you get a message saying you need to pick a parcel up or that a parcel is coming, don’t open the text msg

Excellent video .. thank you for helping raise more awareness of this disgusting behaviour … lives are absolutely devastated by these scumbags

OMG this nearly happened to my daughter months ago, it has sent chills down my spine 🤬🤬🤬

I watch Jim browning.. He's pretty great! Same with kitboga and scammer payback!

thank you jim for all you do. and thank you 7news for showing this.

Spreading the awareness, sweet!

Well someone should hold banks accountable without banks this scams would not happen.

Thanks to other you tube channels for fighting and/or educating about scams and scammers. I'm sad for the victims.

Anyone who is labelled a scam baiter should wear that label proudly. Thank you for your service to the community

I was scammed when the screen of my laptop went to Windows. There was a phone number which I, unknowingly, rang. Yep, I lost $700. That's when I started watching these shows. I have since foiled 3 other scams! Thanks to these protectors.

Thank you for covering and working with scam baters. It does take a village to bring these scammers down. I call y'all the Avengers. Thank you and God bless.❤❤

Someone needs to get a billboard with All the scammers Photos and have it posted all over as well as their local Indian TV stations so that everyone can see who they are. I would throw in posting their photos on instagram, facebook etc. Embarrassment and public shame

This is a shameful moment for all Indians, Indian Central & State Govts and the whole justice system. This is the image we are building when widespread corruption among the people with power saves scammers. What a shame.

This was a fantastic in depth look into something all "1st world" countries need to be concerned/learn about. I actually RECEIVED a scammer call as I was watching this (wild huh!?!). I wasted their time and frustrated them so much about where they got my number and information from that they hung up after thanking me for my time. Then I cussed her out before she could get off the phone. Nobody needs to spend their life working hard to have it all taken away. I'd murder someone who took my mom's life's savings. It's very important that all people know these techniques so that we can prevent tribalism. We don't need to view the victims of the world as the enemies. These places are very impoverished and I understand that due to the exchange rate, it's worth it for them. They could possibly feed their village off of the scams from ONE person. It almost makes you wanna do charity, but then you realize many of these charities are scammers too. I really appreciate everything this channel shows us and everything these people are doing. This video has created a fire in me to take down systems of destruction and build systems of security and trust. Thank you for this video! 🙏🏽

Channel 7. I advise you to run this story more frequently on your free to air Channel. Too many calls are still getting through

well done Channel7.. this is what investigative reporting should do.. protect the ordinary Aussies against this type of rubbish

good to see some aussie content on scams, would've like to see more on what the AFP is doing but can understand they probs want to keep that under wraps.

@1:20 "NO NO NO NO NO!" Only true fans of scam baiting would recognise that 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Comment if you know this episode

Please catch these scammers as soon as possible. It almost happened to me. So sorry for that lady who was left devastated and bankrupted. There is a God and she will recover. Thank you for the videos. Keep the public informed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great piece about scammers!! Came here from jim brownings page.

It's just ashame that we all have to worry about things like this. I'm in South Carolina, USA and recieve these calls all the time. Although u do love playing with them I wonder if they'll ever have a chance of breaking into my smartphone and getting into my personal info that way. A few years back, I had one guy supposedly from "McAffee" security systems. He took me through my computer saying I had security risks to my computer and he was going to help me. Once I asked him about his name, "Greg Evens" (I believe he said to sound more American) he didn't want to tell me why he had a name such as that when he was from India..lol... He had a thick accent, not Americanised at all...lol... From there I learned to play with them all... Kind of a favorite past time for me now. Maybe I should've videoed myself and put them on RU-vid too. Some have bee. Funny and hell..🤣😂🤣

Good Job 7 News for helping the people and the Lady to get her money returned. God Bless you Subscribed HSBC should have out a block on such a large transfer. I closed my account with them 3 years ago

YES YES JIM BROWNING X 7NEWS. I never even imagine this dreams do come true!

It’s sad to say in America we have the best Indian doctors but in India they have the best scammers!😂Shame on them!Jim Browning you ‘re the best! God bless you, Sir!🙏🏽

These people need to be convicted. Close em down. Heartless scabs of the earth!😡

Not sure why these videos are not shown on national TV for people to be aware😮
