Thank you!
With the help of Jaani Musik, I found a scammer who was sending fake invoices so that he could steal money from people in the USA. But he lives in Kolkata where the police never seem to take action against scams like this. So is a better approach to try to get his parents to stop him?

@@JimBrowning Hey Jim, thanks for this awesome content. You should definitely show his face. No issues with that at all. Don't hold back. Culturally, there is a system of honour. To show his face would be to do more than police can do. Let the world see what a person in dishonor looks like. That is the real hurt for this culture. A corrupt police officer can be bribed with a scammed gift card. But a picture of a scammer cannot.

@RawTopShot Год назад

@@chrishue6338 At the moment, I think the only thing that will pull this person away from scamming, is to be offered an honest job where he can make limitless money, i.e. I cannot see him being content with a fixed wage. He is currently willing to lie to his family and disregard their wishes, so the draw of financial wealth has him firmly gripped. He needs to be shown that wealth can be generated honestly and with integrity.

@@JimBrowning sure, everyone has the ability to change, but not everyone wants to change or even cares to. Even after finding out that his scamming has possibly compromised not only his identity/saftey but the identity/safety of his mother, he still continues to scam. Thats a person that doesn't care. Young or not, he'll just do what he wants. To get someone like that to change, they need to face real, tangible consequences.

@@IEKevin this is such a huge part of it. I try not to hate on scammers as a whole because there's bigger systems at work that cause people to do these "jobs." Of course most won't change overnight because that's just not how human brains work and we're talking potentially an overhaul of personal values and that change is a process, even a journey. And I'm sure most of us when in our early-mid 20s fixated on 'getting that bag' and even justifying it with "my parents will be so proud! I can provide for them!" even if the work was harmful. This is why I love watching and learning about these scams from Jim Browning and others because while we can focus on stopping one scammer and helping one victim at a time, we're also learning it's the owners making big money at the top who are benefitting the most and bribing authorities to keep scamming.

One of the simplest things but eaiest to overlook is take your time - Scammers do not allow time for possible victims to think or tell anyone who might alert them. No legitimate business would pressure the customer, and would totally understand the customer hanging up and calling back on their official website. But they are master manipulators after all. Perhaps we need to crowdfund a massive advertisement campaign or leaflefts that can be posted to the most vulnerable in order to raise awareness since we're more likely to succeed here than ever get scam call centres in india shut down.

This was very smart. What a lot of people don't understand is that India is a shame-based culture rather than a guilt based culture.

They will be so embarrassed if their community knows their son is a scammer. I really want to see you go further down this route.

He is definitely not the first scammer I've heard say this, or that their parents would be devastated to learn they'd raised a criminal. Imagine answering every phone call, holding your breath just hoping it isn't a scambaiter because just two days earlier, while you were out with friends, you saw one of your "colleagues" name and face plastered all over billboards/ LCD screens with the enormous word "SCAMMER" splashed across it. For as large as India is, I would imagine that even the big cities have fairly close, tight-knit little communities within it, where people know one another or, at the very least, recognize faces. The fear of walking to "work" one evening and seeing everyone literally turning their backs on you and calling you a thief might be enough to at least make these kids stop and consider if the quick payday is worth it. Then again, some people are just criminal scum and the only thing that will stop them is prison or death so...

something I like to do, that can be very easy, is to get a call flooding program, and finding the number for the call center. once you do this, set the program to call them from various numbers (mine can do it from about 300 numbers at once, but some are less extreme) and have it play some loud noise or similar. this does a few things, 1) it wastes their time, which annoys them, and also means they can't spend that time scamming, 2) large volumes of calls often cost the company money, which can drain them very quickly and 3) it forces them to go offline for a short amount of time, and often get new accounts, new phone numbers, and often makes them wary and more likely to hang up on actual victims. this costs a large amount of money and time on their part, but is relatively cheap for you and is automated, so you can leave it running and go do something else.

I snuck a peak at the screen when they punched in the license plate and saw his name. A slight amount of facebook stalking later i found out that his parents lived just 10 houses down our street. He was reluctant to pay for the smashed doorbell (Not the cheapest model) but when i said to him "I wonder if your parents that i know live down the road, knows how you behave" and suddenly he paid up without saying another word, even though he had told the police that he would not pay, as he claimed he had nothing to do with it being broken.

I'd certainly be willing to help out doing this. I've got almost 20 years of technical background, and it sickens me to see these people getting taken advantage of.

Dear Jim Browning, Though I appreciate you going after the scammers, I do think that they're just a bunch of small fish... I think you should go after the owners and managers of these call centers... If you can hurt them financially, (The owners and Managers) then you're really doing something... The small fish are easily replaceable. When you give a proper flogging to the Owner, oh, what a sweet day it'll be...

@@mruncletheredge you apparently haven't seen his collaborations or all of his videos. Jim has assisted in getting entire call centers shut down, arrested, and helped expose thier management and owners. The biggest problem is that the government there is corrupt as well, and simply lets them back out to do these crimes again. That isn't something he can expose easily, or safely.

Thanks for all you do against scammers and the info you put out Jim. I was able to waste 25 minutes of their time today after being cold called an informed that a second Amazon subscription had been requested on my main Amazon account - which I do not have to start with! They talked me through installing AnyDesk on my computer and asked me for a 9-digit ID number (which I made up) and they spent quite a while trying to figure out why it wasn't working as expected. I then asked the nice chap (Indian accent) what the weather was like today in Kolkata and informed him I was already aware of this scam. I should have recorded the conversation. It was very funny. He ended the call by hanging up on me shortly afterwards.😆

Thank you so much Jim, Jaani and team for all the hard work you do. I love your videos and because of you I am now subbed to all the well named scambaiters and some not so well known ones. You are all doing the same thing, trying to get these scammers to stop, but having watched many videos, some scammers will never quit even though it's not them getting the money, but their bosses. They need to be frightened so much that they have no choice but to leave the scamming world, what is wrong with them, too lazy to get a proper honest job? I am a scam victim from when my Dad died in 2018 though not refund but 'lottery win' and I lost £20,000. To this day my family don't talk to me and I am disabled. So yes these thieves steal and break up families and another yes, he is still on Facebook scamming other people from Nigeria. So I love those videos when the scammer gets nothing it. it makes me so happy to see them lose out. If I have a scam call now even my answer machine message is 'I can't come to the phone right now, SCAMMERS, will not be tolerated or answered' or if I do answer I speak Welsh and the phone goes down almost immediately. Keep on disturbing them Jim you ROCK!!!!

In India, people care a lot about their image. They want to show themselves as the best just like social media. Showing their parents what their son does is a good options, but in the end they are his parents and eventually he can fool them in thinking he has left this behind and now is doing a honest job and the parents will try to hide this to save their family image. Publicly showing his acts will now show the relatives and friends of this world what he truly does for a living. I think this video is the best action that you can take Jim. Goodjob!

We know that most scammers are teenagers that want to show off to their friends and they'll probably do a lot to "be cool". The way they do that, mostly, is social media. selfies, cool posts, religious posts or whatever gets their gears in motion. What if his own social media account, "magically", had posts about the scams he's running and the victims he has hurt. It would show his friends, the ones he's trying so hard to be cool in front of, that he's a bad guy. Public Shaming against the people he's been trying to be cool in front of. I think that would hurt a person with that mentality, a lot (i believe). Just an idea.
