I got an 'invoice' email telling me that I had paid for a $3800 laptop. No links... just a phone number. It's a real shame that these scammers emailed me because I was able to find out exactly who they were and where the were. Enjoy!

This is an unlisted and unmonetized video for my Patrons only. It contains some personal details of scammers, so I cannot make this version public because of YouTube's privacy policies. The public version will have a lot more blurring.

Great job as usual Jim. Saw the notification and clicked on the video almost instantly. The work you're doing is extremely important in exposing these scammers. I'm blown away by your investigative work and the level of detail you put into your videos. Hopefully the Indian authorities will take you seriously for once.

I thought you may have forgotten about us. Great video the proof in the pudding is will the police and Paypal action on your evidence?

Thanks for continuing the fight to reduce the number of scammers out there. As always, a thorough investigation. Hopefully the authorities will take some action. I have to admit to smiling a bit when you called and the background was filled with panicked voices. 😄

Jim, I really think you are *The* Clint Eastwood in the concept of beating scammers at their own game. However, as I've said before, you're one guy. For every scammer company you knock down, another two(?) pop up... I wish we could help you to scale up. I'd even consider paying for a virtual live class. I believe there are others that would do it too. I have most of the technical skills - I would just need to fill in some mysterious blanks about some tools you must be using. Imagine if you started an entire "program" for people to work through the levels they need to get closer to what you do. Maybe then we could approach making a real dent??

Well done Jim you really made them panic nice one. I know what you’re doing is a little unorthodox but this has gone on for too long and action had to be taken.

Yeah - Perhaps the word will get out that there's a chance you'll connect to the wrong person's computer. I'd like to hope anyway!

Fantastic work, Jim. You're worth every penny. :)

Super job! I think you put the fear of God in them. We can hope anyway. 😊

Love your work Jim. Keep it up.

Thanks Mostafa. I'm still following up with the Srinagar police. It's the usual story though - no response as yet.

I don't know how you get into their systems, but I hope they never figure out how to prevent it and that they start to think twice about their ways for fear of being arrested!

Jim: You are providing a critical service. A while ago I received four jars of lidocaine from a drug store in Tennessee. In the package was a "bill" for my $5 copay. The town I work for is self-insured, so I called Blue Cross who processes claims. The guy in the fraud department said they had already paid the claim: $1,400 for something you can get in Walmart for $5 bucks.

This is even better: I was on the phone the other day and another call came through on "call-waiting." The caller ID indicated it was coming from MY NUMBER!

You're one amazing dude! Are there any others like you on YT? I've seen a few similar channels, but the ones I've seen require the scammer to click on a program, and I"m sure they won't do that anymore... There needs to be more like you...

Search for Kitboga, another great scambaiter

Thanks Christine. I'm actually a subscriber to him too... I do enjoy his content. At some point in the future, we're planning a little collaboration too!
