I attempt to disrupt a Bank Impersonation scammer called Faran for a whole week as I wait for the police to act. This one shows just how manipulative some scammers can be.
You'll see the techniques and language that he uses to manipulate his victims. And because he had a webcam, we can see him as he runs his Bank Impersonation scams against US citizens.
If you have been scammed or know of someone who could benefit from advice about scams, please contact the AVAH outreach group:

I work for Chase Bank. I am watching this video now, and paused it at the point where he spoofed the number so I could comment. When customers tell me "but they called from the number that is on the back of my card". I tell them THE NUMBER ON THE BACK OF YOUR CARD IS FOR ---OUR CUSTOMERS TO CALL US---, WE WILL NEVER CALL FROM THAT NUMBER!!! Yes I know that is in all caps, and I won't apologize. I can't stress enough to people how to look out for scammers. I talk to victims Every. Single. Day! 😢

I assume even the cashier would be able to catch it. Most places do a lot of training on recognizing attempts at social engineering. Even when I was working in the pharmacy at CVS and had nothing to do with the MoneyGram stuff, we were still required to do updated training every quarter. Just like Walgreen's got busted for accepting fake Rxs, businesses can be held liable if they fail to block too many of these scam transactions. At one point, I was covering a shift for one of the cashiers and had a guy who was caught up in a romance scam come in. His "girlfriend" in Nigeria needed $800 for some sort of "customs fees." I somehow messed up when I blocked the MoneyGram, and the scammer only got $8.00. The guy came back the next day with the scammer on the phone. It was my day off and I got a phone call from my manager. Scammer wasn't happy, and it was funny as hell.😂

@Maialeen 2 месяца назад
I don't think he sounds convincingly American. His accent is just better than most that do the same thing he does. I'm not a native English speaker and he doesn't sound natural and American to me. Idk. Maybe it passes with very old people who can't hear well. Regardless, I am forever fascinated with the ones who have THICK accents and still insist on names like Jack Wilson or whatever. It seems to me like it makes them look more suspicious. It would be better if they picked an easy to pronounce Indian name. But no, every time they're like "Yes ma'am. This is Americaguy Baldeaglerson. You have a virus on your computer. I will explain each and everything."

The grammar did give it away though, he makes many of the mistakes which scream "english is not my first language" (eg. "the Microsoft")

Remember, thart scamming comes in all sizes and in any environment, not just indian phone scammers, which are some of the more simple forms of scams, as they're only going for your money. You will be attempted cheated, lied to, deceived, by many people with various reasons for their doings. For example, We know as a fact that the uproar on college campuses are sponsered by islameic terror organizations. Indian phone scamming is only the first level of scamming. And it will rob you of your money, but scams higher up will rob you of your mind and thinking too.

You gave the money away yourself. I agree that scamming (at any level) _should_ be illegal, but you can never prevent people from giving away money to people they trust. If, say, the Indian police was made aware of a scam call center they may react and arrest some dudes, but just days later these people are back at work as if nothing happened. What we need is _international_ laws, but all we have is regulations. As an example, this is why no matter where you go in your world wide travels, a stop sign is octagonal.

Well imagine for a second that someone stands in front of your door with a nice suit on and an FBI badge asking you questions. You'd probably answer (or ask for a lawyer). To this old guy, the scammer was the authority. Why listen to some lowly retail worker while chase bank is telling him otherwise? It's super obvious and easy for us to know who to trust because we have more information than he does. He grew up in a world where you trusted people on the phone, so when the phone says it's chase bank and the number is the same as chase bank, then it's totally understandable that he went back to chase bank instead of listening to a random retail employee. So long story short, you said he can't be helped, I disagree. He just needs to be taught how to recognize scams. 1 week of watching this channel and the old dog would pretty quickly learn a new trick. I know I was able to teach my grandpa about this and he's about the same age.

I hate that this scam stuff is so prevalent. I dislike that I basically have to be skeptical or ignore any incoming calls these days unless the caller ID is someone I already know of… On the same side I’m so happy for channels like yours, Scambaiter, Scammer Payback etc because I genuinely believe these videos saved me from getting scammed out of my money from a crypto scam a couple years ago. Thank you for what you do, keep fighting the good fight and spreading awareness because it does work ❤

Hey 'English tutor' - it's "there are tons" not "there's tons." Learn some grammar before making people pay money for your lack of grammar

I used to worked in a BPO and I'm familiar with people who are of Faran's calibre and his accent. Apart from the topic (telemarketing script) they generally lack deep english understanding. Of course they can excel very well with proper education. They do pick up really fast. What makes me really piss is that these smart @ss are prevalent in most call centre and their attitude drive me nuts.

You are doing so good work Jim! These scammers out there are hard core crazy now. I speak Chinese and have been getting scam calls in Chinese. At my work, we’ve been getting phishing emails on our work emails. I work at a private school. We have been told to forward those emails to the it department. Just so sad these days with the scammers. 😞 The first scam call I got was in 2009. I was in high school at that time and gotten my first flip phone (the old days lol) and I got a scam call saying my car warranty had expired. I didn’t even drive! These scammers are the most shameful people on earth!

Good for that first guy giving the scammer (i.e. “Chase Bank”) a hard time … if my credit card company tells me there’s fraudulent activity on my credit card, the next thing they should be telling me is my card will be cancelled and a new one will be issued which is what happened with my Dad a while back. I’m pretty sure it was as a result of being scammed but thankfully he didn’t lose a lot of money.
