So to prove that anyone can be scammed, I was convinced to delete my
@YouTube
channel because I was convinced I was talking
@YouTubeCreators
support. I never lost control of the channel, but the sneaky s**t managed to get me to delete the channel. Hope to recover soon.
I played along with a
@Visa
scam today and got the details of a money mule. I tried to report this mule to
@HSBC_UK
and they were not interested. They'd "have to speak to the customer" i.e. the mule. Please train your fraud intelligence people to have some intelligence.
Well done to
@Barclays
I'm watching a scammer pretending to be
@AmazonUK
and has
@anydesk
remote access to the victim's phone. Their banking app detects the presence of that remote access and the scam stops in it's tracks. Nice.
I never show faces of victims, but I am desperate for someone who might recognize this woman to warn her not to post the cash she's just put into a shoe box. I do not know her name or location. If you know who this is, CALL HER IMMEDIATELY and tell her not to post the cash.
Well done
@FedEx
who took my call and were able to stop this victim posting $10,000 to a scammer's accomplice. Your swift work saved this woman's life savings.
I've managed to scam an SSA scammer. I've got him to buy me an electronic $100 Walmart Gift Card 🤑. I'd like to get this to someone in real need... any suggestions?
Spoke to 2 "victims" today where I was convinced that they were about to be scammed. When I called them, they told me they were just winding up the scammers. So good to know there is a small army of scam baiters out there.
Heads up
@virginmedia
and
@KolkataPolice
I see a scammer about to start a scam 'campaign' to steal money from people in the UK. His script is below. If your security people contact me, I can give you his details.
Yes.... I'm back. Slightly different channel URL:
I'm trying to get the link updated, but this might take a little longer. Expect a video on the whole debacle later today.
I released a video about Disney+ scammers yesterday. Since then, all of the MDs' Facebook pages have been removed, their websites are down and their phone numbers aren't operating.
I'll count that as a (temporary) win.
The
@DelhiPolice
are doing a great job. I am definitely seeing reduced scam activity in the capital and I'm certain it's down to increased raids like this one:
#DelhiPolice
#CrimeBranch
#Cybercell
#bust
international
#fake
call centres duping US citizens of money by impersonating as social security dept personnel. In crackdown at 2 fake
#callcenters
in Kirti Nagar & Mangolpuri, 97 persons held including mastermind. 171 gadgets seized.
A scammer used my PC to log in to his advertising server. Big mistake. He had a campaign to send fake virus messages to Japan. He's now serving the advert at 4am in Australia, where no one can call the number.
I'm not a 'vigilante'. I report the scams to the proper authorities. Most of the time the reports are ignored and it seems to take a documentary before something actually happens.
If you live in New York and have had a pizza delivered to you that you didn't order, there's a chance it's from an Indian scammer that I scammed. All revealed tonight...
I had thought that
@YouTube
were wise to frivolous copyright claims from anonymous people. Here someone is claiming the copyright to my voice. And I don't sing (thankfully).
Thanks to
@MatthewC300
of
@anydesk
, 20+ scammers from 2 different networks were banned from using AnyDesk to remotely access their victims' devices.
This was done in _real time_ too as
@Kitboga
will attest.
Those scammers were really left scratching their heads 😅
I caught a scammer sending fake invoices to trick people. He lives in Kolkata where the police response is useless. So perhaps there's a better way to stop him... his parents.
New video at 17:30 GMT today (20th November).
So I've had 15 copyright claims on my original work from a scammer who hates to have his scam exposed. Any chance
@YouTubeCreators
can have a look at "Lavina Digital LTD" who are deliberately abusing the copyright system?
Tomorrow you can find out how a small group of scam baiters managed to get a call center shut down, two bosses arrested and over $150,000 seized by the police in Delhi.
Video at 7pm BST on Tuesday:
I managed to steal Google Play card numbers from scammers and I have the victim's details. Have redeemed the codes on my own account. How can I return the money to the victim?
It takes a special sort of 'heartless' to pick on an 80yo widow who has no savings and attempt to drain her of all her cash. I spotted this electronic PostIt on a scammer's computer:
Could somebody please tell me why scammers continually use the "Refresh" item on their Windows desktop? IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE, yet scammers seem to click it all the time. Why?
Scammers pretending to be Openreach have asked me to post cash to an address in London. Any suggestions for what I should really send them? (Legal ones please!)
Could
@Hetzner_Online
please explain the purpose of your abuse team if all they will do is forward an abuse complaint to the criminals? I provided evidence of the abuse which you could check even if you can't access the content.
1 million "Thank yous" to everyone who has subscribed to my YouTube channel. I'm humbled by your support. Thank you for continuing to support my channel dedicated to stopping scams.
So I'm trying to find out the names of some people running a scam call center near Faridabad. This photo comes from a directory named "Office Tour" (camping). Any Faridabad residents know anyone in his picture? Taken on 9th June 2019 in Narendra Nagar.
I want to protect the identity of a person who is about to get a job in a scam call center. He needs to alter photos of his Adhaar and PAN cards. If you're good with photoshop and could alter an ID for me pretty quickly, please DM me!

Spying on the Scammers - Part 5
I follow up on what happened to Amit Chauhan, the CEO of Faremart travels who was exposed as a scammer in March 2022.
Is he still "behind the bars"?
Hi
@TeamViewer_help
I've just had a 'refund' scammer connect to my PC with a licensed TeamViewer (with Black Screen function). Could you investigate ID: 621923138?
Thanks.
So I picked up on scammers preying on an elderly woman in Elgin, Scotland and they managed to persuade her to reveal her bank PIN and to mail her bank card to an address in London. Instead, they will be receiving this thanks to
@Ms_Leeze
It takes a lot of work to get a
#scam
call center shut down, but thanks to
@NanoBaiter
@Sven_99s
and
@NeePscambaiting
, we managed to get bosses arrested and over $150,000 in crypto currency seized by the police. Enjoy:
So, I have been asked to send a box of cash to a mule in the UK. Any ideas on what I should send her? I know
@MarkRober
has a few ideas😆and perhaps
@shitexpress
have other suggestions.
So I've just been given a name and address of a UK money mule to whom I'm supposed to post £2,100 in cash (bank impersonation scam). Any suggestions on what to do next?
Long shot, but is there anyone near Elgin in North Scotland who might be willing to send a Royal Mail Tracked letter to an address in London? It's to help catch a money mule. Please reply if you are anywhere near Elgin.
Could there be a scam worse than draining every penny from your bank account? Sadly, this happens. Find out how in my next video at 19:00 GMT on December 29th.
All bank staff should be trained to check customers' account transactions before allowing them to wire transfer anything to Thailand. If the amount matches a recent move of money within their own accounts, it's likely to be a scam. This one is happening live. Victim alerted.
Scam crypto trading websites are a huge problem but they all need a web domain.
@Namecheap
these are all scam domains registered with you. Please investigate!
Why do Remote Access Software companies allow "Black screen" functions on the free/trial versions of their software when they know it's abused by scammers
@TeamViewer

@zoho

@ScreenConnect

@anydesk
You are directly assisting scammers.
So I have a malicious actor "rohaentertainment" who is attempting to claim copyright on a large number of my videos on
@YouTube
He's trying to do the same on
@KarlRock
's channel too.
@YouTubeCreators
Is there any way to stop obviously malicious abuse of the copyright system?
It will be interesting to see how scammers react to the latest clamp-down by
@anydesk
who are now detecting 'commerical' activity (multiple remote connections in a short period of time). Scammers won't be happy!
A Bank Impersonation scammer has asked me to post £2,750 to an address in Ilford, Essex. If no money gets posted, no crime is committed, so the police are not interested. Realistically, what is the best thing to do with this money mule address?
New video tomorrow (17th) at 21:00 BST. Inside a Tax Scam. Have you ever wondered how exactly the people who pretend to be the IRS/CRA/HMRC/ATO steal their money? How much do they make? Who and where are they? All revealed tomorrow...
Well done
@AskNationwide
for suspending the account of the 87yo victim who I reported being scammed. Thanks too
@StarlingBank
whose customer was the mule account and is also suspended.
This scammer is using Paint to create a fake negative covid test result from someone else's positive test result. He has no scruples about putting others at risk.
One of the biggest source of scam calls are from people pretending to be
@amazon
. Tonight's video (7pm BST) will show who makes the robocalls and how to defeat them.
I hope
@McAfee
can ban "affiliates" for misleading advertising like this. My Subscription hasn't expired and my computer is not "unprotected" like your misleading advert claims.
I know you'll blame the affiliate (affid=1494), but perhaps you could name and shame this affiliate?
So scammers illegally sell personal data on
@facebook
groups. This data drives robocalls, spam emails, spam texts and scams. Perhaps the
@DCP_CCC_Delhi
could call a few of these numbers and catch the sellers in the act?
Working on a project to automatically identify scam/spam SMS text messages. Is there any chance you can reply to this with the word "SCAM", "SPAM" or "LEGIT" with a screenshot of the text? Example here:
It was great to have

@amazon
scammers this morning. Watched a group of 19 having to shut down their operation as a result!

It's nice to raise awareness of

One of the easiest ways to defeat the 'Amazon Prime renewal' scam, is just to say yes.
@AmazonUK
, these clowns are ruining Amazon's name. I can provide details of these scammers if you want to get in touch. **Switch on sound for this**
@MarkRober
Was nice to chat with you earlier
@MarkRober
.... really looking forward to a collab. Plenty of ideas and scammers to pick from... some more 'deserving' than others 🤗

Have you ever wondered where all those robocall messages are stored? Well, this is a live VICIdial sever which scammers are currently using to bombard victims. If you click the audio files, you can hear scam message:
