A Patreon-exclusive video...

Not all scams work and I thought I'd post this video to show the techniques which scammers use to persuade their potential victim to part with cash. This lot target only people who are over 50 and employ several techniques to convince their mark that they really have to pay to their locked computer back.

I have only got access to the scammer's microphone, so I've subtitled the victim's responses (but you may just be able to make him out).

I hope you find this interesting, even when it doesn't work (for the scammer).

I'll be publishing a lot more detail on this group in due course. In the meantime, enjoy this insight into how these scammers operate.

Failed Scam Attempt

A Patreon-exclusive video. This is a failed scam attempt, but hopefully it gives an insight into what the scammer does as she attempts to scam her victim. I hope you find it interesting and thank you for your continued support.

I can't believe (or maybe I can) that the scammer draws/doodles in Paint while trying to scam this person. I guess even a scammer gets bored with their job too, if only they would stop scamming when they got bored.

Seems rather... ironic that a scammer would have the Virgin Mary as their desktop background...

I got one of these a while back, let them connect to a Win7 VM I had at the time, then before I gave them access I wondered what porn website I got it from. They said they don't know so then I just started going to random porn sites and clicking on stuff going "Was it this one?"

The excel spreadsheet from the scammer doesn't seem to show that high of a success rate which is great.

Wow, I love the art they do while they're bored. The 'very pretty' comment killed me. It's really sad that they try to run these scams on these people, but super good that he was wise to her garbage. So, do you currently have remote access to a bunch of hackers? Is that how you get awesome footage like this? Maybe some day you'll hear my voice on the other line. Hahah!

I get the access myself and there's definitely no bunch of hackers in the background here. I've got a technique where, if they attempt to remotely connect to me, I can reverse the connection with a bit of tech know-how and social engineering. I do hear quite a number of what they term "prank calls"... i.e. scam baiters who string them along. I'll maybe publish some of these, but like this video, you're unlikely to be able to hear the scam baiter.

Yes - only 1-2 victims per day. However, there are 3-4 scammers in operation here... you can probably hear some of the others in the background. 2x300x4=£2,400 or $1,800 per day. Good money in India.

I blurred out most of this, but the victim here did seem to access a lot of porn sites. This particular popup seemed to come from 'stripchat.com'. But they also have the same popups on mis-typed URLs like gmil.com or ttwitter.com

That “good money” comment makes me wonder if that’s why local police are hesitant to do anything. It brings in a mass of wealth to the local economy, who cares how. You’ve got the right idea shutting them down through their sources, IE teamviewer and the phone companies they use.

You can hear the other scammers in the back ground. Sick sick sick

Once again if they have an Indian accent then its a scam. Its sad that all Indian people are getting a bad rap. No morals at all.

Jim, have you considered posting individual scammer contact info? I did a little googling and found more than one Nimmi S. Kumar. I would love to send her an email (or maybe a couple per day) asking her if I can help her to find more rewarding and respectable work using the technical skills she already has.

It is sad. I get a lot of contact from genuine Indian people who are equally upset about what the scammers are doing for their countries reputation. Sad really.

cheers Jim, learnt so much form your channel, enough to waste the time of a scammer that called my misses. top work keep it going sir.

I intend to find out exactly who she is. There are 5 other people working there too... It's a pretty small operation but they've been around for years now. I've personally encountered them a few times because they specialise in UK scams.

Stupid scammers.

Sam Wittsell

She talks so slowly. Also, it's funny that she says she will never be able to get the machine back if it shuts down.

Hi mate, you forgot to "blur" the "edit line" in excel... So I can still se "cannot afford"... (time 10:57)

Jim Browning

Ah yes. Let me see if there is something I can do within YouTube to blur this. YouTube's post editing tools are not great though. However, Miroslav, I really thank you for becoming my latest $20 Patron. I'll send you a DM with my SkypeID if you even want to get in touch. Thanks again for the sponsorship and for pointing out this privacy snarfu. Jim

Sam Wittsell

There's another one in the background! HAHA!

good old Nimmi. Bored artist. She suddenly got so pissed when what seemed like an easy target refused to comply... I wonder about those files she downloaded though... have you managed to get in contact with this guy to let him know his machine was indeed compromised?

Jim Browning

Yes.... Any time that I can find out who they are scamming, I do get on touch with the victim. The worst case for me is when I get access at the end of a scam and I can see they've managed to obtain money and I'm too late to prevent it. I'm not always at my keyboard and it's always hard to accept this. But I know I can't always be around :(

I actually emailed everyone who was scammed...including the person in the video. I've lost track a bit about who responded, but I definitely emailed him.
