Joining a scam call center (virtually) 

The displayed phone number will be falsified. Unless it's one of those scams where they need you to call them first - say, in response to a popup on your computer that you have a virus or something similar - you can assume that the displayed phone number is spoofed and meaningless. Some of the calls that I receive display a phone number that is a digit too long to be a valid phone number in my national system.

That’s awesome. Be careful because there are scammers spamming the comment section of all the scambaiters. If you’re ever not sure, ask! Please

Keeping yourself informed seems to be the best protection now. Unfortunately, we live in a world where you can't trust many people.

My wife who is half your age nearly fell for that one, I wandered into the room when she was on the teamviewer page. I doubt she would have paid them anything but you never know.

I just received the Amazon call today that I got charged for a phone too. I'm in my early 70s and keep up with all these scams. It was an automated message, but I still enjoyed telling them to ef off and hung up. I watch all the scam baiters and really like listening to Boda. He voice changes to a spunky old lady in her 70s and lets scammers have both barrels.

Same here😀 I watched many hours of this when you guys were doing it and it was very interesting viewing👌🏻

Pls bust as many of these pajeets you can.

what happens if the scammers are poor?

​@@raregoodds3143they should find a way to make an honest living. Stealing from other people isn't the move.

India is a country with 1.4 billion people & as we all know there are going to be some bad apples as well

@E Van I think some people do those things as the British had colonised us for 200 years in an inhumane condition. So some people, actually many people, still hold a grudge on that. Even normal white people are pointed to as britisher and are prejudiced against. This might be the case

@E Van You sound pretty racist. Sure that's not your intent though. Assuming they all hate Europeans, and its not just scammers being scammers (i.e. angry a**holes), it probably has to do with colonialism. I'd be mad too if my nation was pillaged for centuries, and plagued with famines and genocides,

Bro this Irish lad andyou do it for fame and views. Why don’t you let natural selection take its course, there is no hope for some ppl anyway.

@E Van I don’t see the animosity being related to the ethnicity of the person they’re calling. Seems to me that they are truly disconnected from the person on the other end of the line, they’re just the client that “owes” them. The entitlement and encouragement from the scammer management leads the call centre employees to feel the same. They are reprimanded by management if the numbers dip, so they reprimand the client that isn’t paying them the money they owe. Maybe race plays into it but I really think its just a entitlement rage.

Lol

same... Whenever you waste a scammer's time, you save another time and money

Lkewise Deyo. I really enjoyed the whole week. I just hope RU-vid sort YOUR channel out... so frustrated with them!

One of my ex worked in met technologies She told me that she is into sales and that she was really good at her job. Wanted to learn Spanish for some reason. After this she ghosted me for six months and then somehow blamed me for moving on. The way she always managed to play the victim to get everything done Guessing she was a refund scammer.

Sadly last year, the parents of one of my friends got scammed with that identical story... they ended up losing over $10k before somebody from the family realized what was happening... so sad, but I'm glad your in-laws are more aware of this issue!

@@andregraf3000 Its a particularly brutal one- its the one instance where I think less caution is deserved- you have to be trusting to help someone in need- usually its something petty but I always try and help if someone is in trouble on the street. One that comes to mind is someone came with a giant bag of weed saying they'd accidentally spent their bus money on it while high and would they trade it for a bus fare xD I gave them bus fare and let them keep their weed. But often its a simple thing like that, only for a few pounds- probably a scam 80% of the time, but 20% of the time it saves their arse as some people close to me have been helped. It is perfidy to do what they do there and the deepest circle of hell is reserved for them.

She is pretty smart, shes totally right when she said “what car do you drive” because every car after 1998 has airbags by law, and most vehicles were equipped with them prior to the bill being signed. All this aside he really couldnt have hit his nose on the steering wheel because of the airbags

@@nilldata7936 airbags can fail to deploy sometimes, it happened to a friend and he had to have full facial reconstruction surgery as the impact shatterd his nose and eye socket and broke his jaw off the hinge.... Never say never, anything can and most probably has happened at 1 point or another. But as for the OPs comment she was on point with that question, scammers would probably not have that information.

@@nilldata7936 Side note. He did sue the manufacturer because the airbag didnt deploy (plus he'd only had his car a year or 2 as well) and won about £40k in compensation.

They make hundreds of thousands in a day. The call centers rent out the desks and computers, all it takes is some software on each desk and a master computer and they are in business.

Yeah it's almost like they make money off of it or something???

They’re Indians what do you expect

I’m pretty sure most people only do these scams due to the fact that they can’t find jobs either which is pretty messed considering some countries are very poor and people do what they can to get money to feed their families

Lol for a sec I misread and thought you said heartwarming. 😭 ☠️

That's so effective, yet so simple! Never heard of that one though, I really like it.

I do this all the time. I tell them I use public transportation when they ask about my car

Some scam call centres just won't take the hint to mark your number as "do not call". I'm pestered almost daily with calls from one operation pretending to be a multitude of legitimate businesses. I can tell they're all from the one operation because (a) they play every robomessage twice before connecting you to a scammer; and (b) the scammers answer with a singularly unprofessional "Hello?" instead of the usual "Thank you for calling . How may I help you today?" I'd be ashamed to type the things that I say to insult them on multiple levels (some of it spoken through a megaphone into my telephone), and they _still_ won't mark me as a lost-cause "do not call".

@@willpugh-calotte2199 If you insult them they most likely will keep your number on their list just to harass you. They are vindictive like that. But if they genuinely think you don't have a car or computer etc then there is a better chance they will mark you as someone they can't scam.

@@willpugh-calotte2199 The best thing you can do to get the calls to stop is to just hang up. Don't press any buttons and don't talk to anybody. Just hang up. Eventually (it'll take awhile) your number will get marked as an invalid or not in use number and the calls will slow to few and far between. I used to get calls all the time, would repeatedly tell them not to call me (not in those words though lol). Then I started just hanging up and now I very seldom get scam calls. Maybe 1 or 2 every few months is all I get.

Sorry, but they aren't prank calls. Prank calls are annoying, but they are harmless for the most part. These calls on the other hand lead to criminal activity. The scammers stealing money from people by running confidence tricks on them. That isn't a simple prank - it's a literal crime.

Teach me...teach me...🙋‍♂️😂

Hey definitely send this comment to Scammer Payback too, I’m sure they’d like support

Thanks for mentioning that Michelle, and I hope you get a response on this. A diversity of language speakers eventually would be an important goal for the scam busting call center. I only speak English, but get Chinese speaking robo calls a lot here in US. I know they’re scammers because I’ll hear them mention Amazon or Verizon, FBI (ugh) said in the midst of what is indecipherable to me. I always feel sad and disgusted when I delete these on my voicemail when I think that some, especially first generation older Chinese Americans, are getting preyed on as easy targets.. I prevented my neighbor (actually a couple of times on different occasions) from getting scammed. The situation was some scam electric company would get into our apartment building, knock on doors and tell residents that they needed their account number, and even that they were sent by their current electricity provider ( all bs). Once they get that info they say you need to sign a contract, you’ll save a lot on electricity with this “new program”. Regrettably a neighbor victim of this said his electricity bill more than doubled (he’s speaks mostly Spanish). So, Anyway, I overheard them knocking on my other neighbors door, Eastern European who speaks a little English). By the time I got dressed to go over and warn her she’d already signed up. We went out and chased the person down the street and demanded the paperwork back. (we were like pit bulls, chasing a rabbit!). We got it and tore it up! Ha, Ha! Once we called police and informed all of our neighbors of this manipulative bait and switch we never saw them again.. Another time before that I intervened when I ran into one of these perps in the downstairs hallway and gave them such a lecture ( after scolding, I also suggested they can do better than this with their lives), told them to get out..this ran them out of the building before they had a chance to knock on doors (actually I did this on a couple of occasions ) I wasn’t afraid of them even though I’m older female and smaller, actually they were taken so off guard they were afraid of me (and maybe afraid of the truth, about what they do means). Thanks for reading! Be safe though..

I would fo it for German / Swiss

As another native spanish speaker, I can't fathom how someone would fall for that scam coming from India, we already tell legit companies with actual fellow Spaniards who know how to speak to fuck off

I've got link to video saved to put in a reply for any millennials, y or z gens, who comment or imply that people who get scammed are stupid, or like you said, it's older people. (I just put in a reply to 2 comments that saying 77 year old woman who said she hang up on robo spam call isn't legit nor be legit comment, because she's old & used an emoji someone younger wrote it, or a scammer wrote it. That's bit different what you said, but point is assumptions can be wrong). I have couple tricks in my personal details for when filling out forms online and only for official institutions do i put fully real. Once got a call & had details exact re me. Was only after I asked 3 times (at various times) which branch he as from, and he said road, but there's actually 3 on that. 3rd time he asked his voice raised a bit & as he said it again was in a tone like I was stupid. About 1 minute more conversation then he asked for password. Can't remember what I said but my tone was f-off. Here's that Jim Browning video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YIWV5fSaUB8.html and it was only last year too so not like he was new to youtube, which was what the scam was re. (I'm not saying you are what I put in my first sentence by putting it lol). Did you see video where they sent a glitter package to a scam call centre? They're all worth watching but this one from 6 years ago is interesting, because Jim was sort of scammed by someone getting the video blocked in the UK ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ooh6bV8FwTo.html

Thats a fantastic idea, send it viral on tik tok would be better than all those fucking brain dead dances.

@@MrLTiger care to elaborate? what would your advice be to a layman (or woman) to prevent a scam, if you have 20 seconds without context?

Atomic Shrimp has some pretty nice short videos warning about specific types of scam

Isch soo!! Ich seg immer: "Kei intressi, schöneeeee" 😅

@@Maurazio yes, I just noticed it saying Switzerland, good catch. There are so many different dialects in German though, it could have easily been my grandpa and we live in east Germany, so it's not that easy tbh

w donation

You can do the same too, when you were called up by a dushbag. Just scam it back :) and don't hang up the phone quickly. Make the scammer angry and nervous 🤣

Or just remove the scammers...

Agreed - don't trust people who approach you. Simple but very effective.

They don't have your best interest at heart , at all

Banks could also be more proactive in preventing fraud since they’re always going to be involved in it somehow. Like ensuring that people cannot put ridiculously large sums of money onto gift cards. Even flagging it as potential fraud and forcing people to have to call them to sort it out could prevent a lot of money from being stolen.

@@diamonddiaz297 I think the banks are already somewhat active here which is why the scammers tends to use gift cards (the bank cannot see that you are buying a gift card, only the store knows that and it's also the store that redeems the gift card so the bypass the banks completely by going the gift cards route).

At least one would think that it would be in their interest to not be associated with scams and thus funding such work even if they don't care about the end users at all, so it's kinda strange that they don't already.

@@Henrik_Holst But they're not interested if you prevent a fraud. At work we had a scammer try to change the big cheese's bank details for his pay. Being suspicious we checked and found no such request of his. We tried to pass the bank account details to the relevant bank (to prevent further fraud and to lead to a trail of the fraudsters) but they were not interested unless there was a police incident number to a fraud actually having taken place (the fraud of pretending to be our big cheese didn't count: it had to be a successful money fraud). The bank involved didn't seem too concerned that now they had been warned that one of their accounts was being used in a fraudulently way they would likely be liable for any loss to that account as they knew about it (even if they didn't know which account it was as they didn't want to know).

There are so many people there that the percentage is actually quite low compared to the number of conmen we have in the US.

For someone like you with integrity it must be infuriating watching these people sully your country's reputation at the expense of all the Indians who are good people. And unfortunately it's far more than a few, it's a booming industry and so many young people are deceived into thinking they got a job at a legitimate tech support business. TBF though there are bad people/things in every country especially the biggest ones. As a Russian-American I'm all too aware of that fact myself.

Fortunately, I'm more familiar with the Indian nationals who are good people. Keep fighting the good fight.

I won't do business with any call center out of India. I hear that accent, and I hang up.

@@jonw3738 as it should be.. sorry, not sorry.. clean up your people if you feel offended!

Did they get released straight after arrest, due to corrupt police force in India. ??

@@jamiewindridge8782 no, not all police are corrupted...if you see the population of india and the population of scammers....they are literally less than 1 percentage of the total population in india

@@abc-ly6fy _“They are literally less than 1%”_ Source please? Also, that’s already over 14 million people. That’s more than many countries!

Okay. So. You want the Goverment to spy on EVERYONE and listen to ALL your calls to make sure you wont get scammed? I mean as far as they know any phone call can be a scam call... would you give up your privacy?
