Following the release of my video and the Panorama TV documentary, the call centre owner, Amit Chauhan, has been arrested and will appear in court tomorrow (5th March 2020).

The police have plenty of evidence, so let's hope, for the sake of the thousands of people who he conned, that he goes to jail for a long time.

I've identified others who were complicit in his scams, and the hope is that they too can be brought to justice.

Thank you all for giving me the time to do this. It's through your support that I can finally make progress in not only identifying the scammers, but to get the proper authorities to act.

I'll be publishing more material from this call centre over the next few days for Patrons only.

Again, thank you!

Haha gets what was coming well done for your hard work and patience

Allixandra

I hope he is in jail for a long time.

Paul Carmichael

Don't they look sweet holding hands! :D Great work Jim.

P W

Hey man! Thanks for what you do! Has to be satisfying to finally see results! Thanks for taking us on the ride.

B3AR

I like that they’re holding hands.

Pete McDonald

Well done Jim, saw this on BBC News and smiled. :)

David Aronov

Had 2 callers today, I’m wondering if it’s possible that it’s from that call center lmfao

Lee Trott

Congrats, this is great news. I've always said what you're doing is a public service, and I'm glad to help you in some small.way!

Joyboy

Why are they holding hands? Lol

Chris Phillips

Did they run out of shackles, or have they each been forced into a relationship with a copper?

YetAnotherFool

In the waves of web without borders, you're a beacon of tranquility :)

Jim Browning

Just need a Red Indian and a lumber jack in there.

ETAzero

so awesome!

Dag Andreassen

Finally they got him and you have been a huge support from you. Nice done.

Hamish

He’s fucking scum hope he goes to jail for a long time

Randy Kovach

That is so awesome! Thank you Jim for all you do! Incidentally, I JUST got a call from the scammer that scammed my dad a few years ago saying his "protection" has expired and it's time to renew.

B3AR

This isn’t even some kind of elementary school handholding either; this is pro-level, high schooler/boyfriend/girlfriend, fingers interlaced handholding. Why don’t USA police do this, haha 😂

Dennis Dickson

Congrats Jim, A great accomplishment. You ARE the MAN.

Steve Z

The work you do is fantastic Jim. Thank you.

B3AR

I think the policeman are being punished as well for being so complacent that Jim had to do their work for them haha

Steve Z

One thing about the police in India, and why they never have responded to your previous alerts, is that they are totally corrupt and allow scam centres such as this to operate, in return for cash. They have only taken action this time because of the Panorama episode. No action from them, following that expose, would raise suspicion about their role as a police force. The police in india will allow any criminal enterprise to operate in exchange for a percentage of profits. This has been so for decades. This is so all around the world - not just in India. Police corruption is rife everywhere.

Tripodski

You're awesome Jim - long may your stella work continue!

Douglas Kean

Excellent result. Well done.

BDawg

Why are they holding hands??

Phillip Damiano

Well done Jim. Hopefully he goes to jail for a very long time and money returned to those that been scammed. Hopefully all the workers in the call centre will also see long jail times.

Joyboy

You’re under arrest you may now hold my hands you dirty scum

Brian Magnuson

Hopefully he gets extradited all over the globe with multiple sentences

SEAN D MARTIN

Just watched your YouTube videos on this today and subscribed there and here. Grateful for your hard work.

Thomas Aspen

Ehm. Is it a custom there to restrain people by hand holding instead of using handcuffs? Hand holding with strangers is one of the ways to get your very own CoViD-19 colony :)

Viorel

Hopefully they will go fast from holding hands - to holding on to someone's inside pocket (aka. "prison b*tch")

Dennis Dickson

I HOPE THE COURTS CONFISCATE ALL THE PROCEEDS OF HIS CRIME.

Music is a Rainbow

I kind of want to frame this photo so I can have a giggle every day. 🤣 Amazing work, Jim!

SpitefulBatman

Lol - This is truely amazing. Thank you BBC for your involvement, unfortunately without them I doubt anything would have come of all of Jims amazing hard work, but most importantly thank you to JB for all that hard work, its just amazing and inspirational.

Harry Conger

Jim incredible work. What an honor to be a part of this.

Kevin Mc

This is why I joined your patreon. Fantastic result, Jim.

Jake Brownson

Incredible work. I doubled my pledge after watching your last post

Ray Hicks

Nice to see you gettings results m8, more power to your elbow💪🏻

Peter O S Mackie

Congratulations Jim. Call me cynical, but I’m sure he can fix the problem, so I suspect there is more to come. But once again nice work.

Dan Tom

Ahh it’s nice they are holding hands :) Maybe they are friends with the nice police officers 😂

Karen Ramsay

I am over the moon!!! Already the Indian Police are whining about how difficult it is going to be to prosecute. There needs to be website created and a follow up story on the news and on YouTube telling victims where they can forward their evidence--- and another one on how to claim a refund from PayPal. Hit them in the wallet---it's the only thing that gets their attention.

David A. Orr

It sure doesn't look like any arrest I would of imagined.... No cuffs?? Are you sure this wasn't staged??

SD

This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Jim, congratulations, and the world thanks you.

Richard Jeffery

Are you sure they have been arrested? No cuffs? They are just holding hands with the cops?

Richard Jeffery

Congratulations anyway Jim. Great effort....quite outstanding.

BeanJr

I’m glad they’re behind the bars

andy b

nice one!

Ratedx JW

They are holding hands tightly. i guess its gonna be a goood night at the Police station for them. Congratulations Jim. Great Effort!

Ron Dickson

Let’s hope they lose all that money they scammed as well as any savings they have.

Ratedx JW

4 lacks a month rent, thats money most Indians cant even dream of.

T Anstey

Awesome Jim keep up the excellent work. We all appreciate the hard work you are putting into the effort even the ones who don't know who you are or how much you have contributed to this cause .

Dave Sousa

I love how they don't handcuff them. Fuck you hold my hand bitch.

alain laroche

Great work Jim! You and Karl are heroes! Although you need to tell Karl to be more discreet and stay safe. These scammers aren't going to take this lying down.

Annette Erdtsieck

That's bloody fantastic Jim.. I think this has put enough pressure on the authorities to do something. Arrest is one thing... actual legal action is another. I think by keeping up the pressure and let them know that the world is watching them for their next move against the scammers, that this will end unhappily for those predators.

Anonymous

Only problem is what will we watch on YouTube with no scambaitrs.

Jackie Martin

Awesome! Fantastic work. I watched Karl's video as well. Well done, both of you.

Marco Eberhard

Thank you Jim for again your great work! Love the way you proceed! Proud to be one of your patreon 😊😊

arthur blundell

Great stuff Jim -- let us hope that it puts the frighteners on one or two of his competitors !!!

Dangeruss 360

Congrats on the recent bust, that's awesome!

Daniel Jackson

That's fantastic, well done! Nice to see your efforts paying off! (I wonder if the Indian police should invest in handcuffs, and not just hold the suspects hands 😄)

Vignesh dinakaran

It is worth every Penny being your Patreon. You make us proud. Thank you for taking it like 1000 Steps further than just wasting scammers time. You are a Legend good Sir!

Gaurab Sundar Dutta

lovely! More power to you and shout out to Karl Rock as well! :)

George Hazlewood

Great work Jim, I had a call from a scam today and kept them talking on the phone for a few minutes before exposing them. Would be interested in anything we can collectively do to uncover other call centres.

Jim Browning

I think the more people who can tie them up, the better. I'll always encourage as many as possible to waste their time.

Harkáj33

You are the best, Jim. Cybercrime organizations could open up some offices full of Jims. It seems like not much is done about it, and you do more work on this than police or cybercrime organizations...

Joe Brewer

This is a great result Jim - nice work! Hopefully other scammers will start to think twice about what they are doing

A Tree Stump

You are the only person on patreon who I have ever contributed money to - what you do is awesome and a public service.

James Wright

Hand holding in India seems to be part of their culture, on my travels you see lots of men holding hands. It's a bit weird to those societies where this isn't a norm.

Mostafa

Incredible news Jim! This is all a direct result of your hard work. Supporting you on Patreon is worth every penny. Thank you for all you’ve done to better society.

David Miller

Well done Fella - even though it looks as though the police are just holding hands for the camera !!

Noeleen Walsh

Is it wrong that I feel so smug today and am laughing at another mans downfall?? Hell No, I am going to enjoy every minute of this. Well done Jim,

Roy Spaan

nice work Jim! Let's hope it has some knock-on effect, both with the police and the scammers themselves. There's gótta be one or two (would-be) scammers that hear of this and decide to get out. Every bit helps.

Syd

So cute; they're holding their hands. That's quick to court; perhaps just preliminary. Let's see what the punishment turns out to be. Good stuff anyway.

Milos Stanojevic

Great work Jim! Its funny how they are holding hands ;]

Ammar

Awesome!!!

Syd

Just wasted 16mins of an Indian BT scammer that called me (I am productively working with my hands while he talks so it suits me well to waste their time). Not very much but I have no virtual machine experience to go far. Helpful chap called Jack, wanted to fix my intermittent internet dropouts which, it seems, 'BT' couldn't do from their end. Interesting how when you make it out that you are suspicious they get more aggressive, ask why you're wasting their time (they called me) then threaten to cut off your phone and internet as a last resort. He was a bit crap. 5 out of 10. Number reported to BT and to WhoCalled? Weirdest thing is that he was purely vindictive in that he was happy to hang up on me after telling me I would be cut off. Utterly stupid as, if I was really taken in, I would be more suspicious of such calls in the future because my line was not cut off as he said it would be. I'll pull the dyslexic card next time perhaps: 'there is no crtl key!'. Website he wanted me to connect to was www. hubs5. webs. com after 'persuading' worried little me to run event viewer. I'll be more dramatic next time.

Bethany Morgan

As a professional fraud fighter who rarely gets to see justice served, this FILLS MY HEART! Great job, Jim! You're a hero!

Jeff Briscoe

I get scam calls all the time. I have so much fun messing with them. I would like to thank dvr, Jim Brown, Leo, scammer payback, scammer revolts for what you guys do to keep us informed on the latest scams keep up the good work

Evan Bench

Hi Mr Browning, were you still monitoring the CCTV when the police entered the offices? Any reflections of the Panorama documentary in the phone conversations, CCTV? I'm guessing it was quite dramatic...

Anonymous

Many many compliments for helping the community and sending this "person" to jail.

Kristen Mansfield

You are amazing, Jim. I started supporting you a year ago. You did mention if you could get more support you would have time to get more involved. Congrats, job well done.

Lorne Counter

Outstanding Jim, glad to be a part of your support group.

Rakesh

I'm not trying to look into things too much: why are the cops holding hands with these cunttwats? Is this normal behavior when an officer of the law arrests someone in the Republic of India?

andy b

Looks like they have made firm friends with the two policemen already.

Andy D.

Good job, Jim. Shame it takes national TV and international shaming of the perpetrators and the system to get anything done about such egregious behaviour by the local police... let's just hope that the punishment actually fits the crimes committed - not just for him, but for everyone involved. So glad to know that I can help support your work, however limited my funds are. With my own parents now in the "target" age bracket for these kinds of scams, and with myself disabled, housebound and on a limited income, both my parents and myself have been repeatedly targetted. Luckily my parents are educated enough with regards to computers to recognise these kinds of scams and I don't mind wasting their time while I'm doing other things, but seeing someone who continues to try and scam me, despite telling them I am on a low, fixed income, and that I would have to get the money by drawing it from my own, very elderly parents, who are ALSO on a very low income? To even resort to the romance scams? They make me so furious and disgusted that I'm happy to support you as much as I can if it stands any chance of helping to take them down.

Melt

Don't they look lovely, like a bunch of lovers. Still, I don't have much faith into the Indian legal system. Still, I think the result is outstanding and of all the baiters and vigilante out there, my heart only goes to one. Yeah, that is you Jim.

Tomasz

You are a legend Jim. Amazing work.

Pat Manley Manley

Thanks to guys like you I almost got scammed over the past few days allow me to explain I got a text message from someone called ' Daniel' telling me he had a package for me that I ordered and if I clicked on a link in the text message I'd get my package . Well of course I realised it was a scam as I don't know anyone called 'Daniel' and I didn't order any package. they didn't stop there I got another one about an hour ago not mentioning Daniel' but still telling me they had my so called package and asking me to reply via the same link. I just deleted both messages

Alexander Jason

Jim, where is the link to the Panorama show? You never posted it.

Jim Browning

I could link to the BBC iPlayer version but this is locked to be accessible only in the UK. They will post a YT version in around a week I believe.

Pat Manley Manley

yes that's what I was thinking Jim, its because of watching guys like you I'm more aware now . I'm so glad those guys are in jail from the bbc programme I hope you catch more of them

Tom Scott

TBH you're not missing much. The Panorama programme features a lot of "talking head" interviews with the scamees, which for me is much less interesting than Jim's "Spying on the scammers" production.

Laura Howard

Well done. Seeing the results from your efforts is exciting!

Anonymous

I'm going to be a patreon supporters for you now after your good work for society

Karen Ramsay

I just raised my Patreon level ! Can't think of the money going to any better cause!!

Anonymous

You sir, are an unsung hero!

Charlie Peepers

Jim, I became a “Patron” because of your unending devotion to helping those people who have been scammed. I love your work and your YouTube. Thank you for getting us unprecedented access

Sinox Triton

Do you have a case number or a filing code for the charges I would like to follow that case in detail.

Jim Browning

I'm going to ask for that. Even though I submitted the case electronically, I wasn't shown any kind of case number, nor did I receive an email. On Tuesday, just before the raid, I was a bit alarming that I was asked to resubmit exactly what I put on this form, but by email. I could be wrong, but it seemed as if that report wasn't available to the Haryana police even though I used their own form. I wouldn't be surprised if the form is broken.

Jim Browning

Yes. This would be a result. I've already provided them with a list of some victims details, so there's a chance that some people many be able to get at least some of their money back.

Anonymous

Will the workers go to court, too?

Sinox Triton

Thank you, don't sweat it though. I only asked because you might have it I don' t wanna cause you any inconveniences because of it. Keep up the great work :)

Jim Browning

I'm not sure at this point. They were relatively poorly paid. I'm just glad they got the person at the top.

Eric Zeevaert

I just hope that the guy that scammed the man who suffered from depression goes to jail. Are there any news about this guy?

Jay

Aww, at least they're getting a really solid hand-hold out of it.

LonE WolF

Appericate your work..

Joey Guanzon

Why are they holding hands with the police? Are they friends?

Ada Wong

You are really a genius Jim! Thanks for all the effort!

dans

Agreed! Great work Jim! Nice to see something actually happened too!

Shreeram Deshpande

Keep it up Jim... I hope all your hard work gets the reward. Hope Indian police and the judicial system take this case seriously and punish the heartless criminals...

tyler brown-jones

Great work Jim, picture looks like their going on a date 😂😂

saisorm

im glad that this happened :)

Signal7

Super! Love your videos. Great work!

Karen Smith

Excellent! Now, can everyone have their money back?

Jim Browning

I hope at least some of the victims will be able to get their money back. It's the very first time I've seen the Indian police supply an email address for victims of this scam. I hope it's a sign of good things to come.

Mike

I find it weird that they are holding hands. The police here will here will handcuff you then lead you away . Holding hands doesn't seem like a very effective restraint.

FreedomChimp

Oh no, now I’ll have to get a VPN to watch the bbc doco haha. Nah I’ll wait for part 4. Good on you Jim.

Muharrem Colic

Yes in my country too they hand cuff and lead you away, you manage to escape they will chase you down might pepper spray you maybe even put the dogs on you but will recapture you and lock you up but I reckon over there you escape they will chase you down too, re capture you but then give you the beating of your life and then if have a few dollars you can pay your way out and have a curry with the cops and laugh about it !

Muharrem Colic

Does anybody know what happened to Amit Chauhan ? I hope he gets life but will probably get out on a $5 bribe .

Jason Sobolow

Awww. Where did they go on their double date?

Mike

Probably right. I know scammers there pay off the cops to look the other way. It also happens in other countries (philippines for example). Run a red light and just give the officer 100 - 300 pesos ($2 - $6 US$) to walk away.

29041988

Sir, I'm from South India. Could you share the details of the employees, F.I.R Number of the police complaint, details of the bosses etc. I would like to follow up on this. I don't think they will be prosecuted. For all it takes is just $676050 to buy a member of Parlement in India. It takes a lot less to bribe an MP or a policeman. Please get in touch with 'LiveLaw.in' and 'Thewire.in' and 'thequint.com' and 'TheIndianExpress' to make it public in India. They will investigate everyone locally and follow up the investigation on the ground. In India Amit Chauhans may change, Weak F.I.R may be written, evidence may be tampered, and judges can be bought. Please please please 😭🙏

29041988

Sadly that is the case here in India as well. But you'd have to pay proportional to your loot.

29041988

I was really saddened after I heard the call from the depressed guy. Thank u for sniping them.

Chris

Nice job Jim, have yourself a cigar.

Sharon Baker

Great work Jim love ur vids 👍

Jonathan Marks

I think you did most of the work and should have got more credit. BBC was more theatre. But at least justice was done.

Abby

Awesome work Jim. This particular series encouraged me to support your work by becoming a Silver Supporter. :)

Jim Browning

Thank you Abby. Again, I really appreciate this increased support.

Jim Browning

Ultimately, it's the end result which counts. I didn't share the footage for credit... It was to try to see if the Indian police would stop ignoring the problem.

Jonathan Marks

Have you thought of setting up an account on medium.com to curate your excellent series of videos. Youtube is good for content sharing, but often the context is missing. I have enormous respect for what you are doing.

lakrj

Holding hands like people mad in love!

RedNoth

This is just pure gold Jim! It is unbelievable the amount of work you've done to get to this point!

Dear Jim, do u know anyone that can support me with the issue that I am facing Instagram? I am not able to access the account for the past few months despite messaging the Instagram team the details. They didn't bother replying. I hope you see this message! I love your videos btw.

Ramon M

Stuff your scams in your face Amit....pure scum benefitting from the frail, sick and vulnerable people. Great to see them paraded in front of the press.

Joe Anderson

Does hand-holding = scammer handcuffs? That seems right.

3 Years Apart

Hand holding in India is a common thing (part of the culture). I have a friend who lives there and runs an orphanage. His Indian friends always try to hold hands with him. However I have never heard of someone doing that if they are not your friend.

Josuah Duffy

great news. The Indian police have been shamed into doing an actual investigation

Danie George

I know I'm late, but delighted to read this update 😊 brilliant work, Jim.

Appy4248

A belated congratulations but I had to message.. Please keep doing what you’re doing .

cedrick tremblay

Do we have the result of the court? Like did he get sentenced to anything?

Funhouse

Odd to see the police holding hands with the thieves. No handcuffs used? Glad they are caught. Excellent work.

Dave Beckley

Why are the police holding the miscreant's hands? Don't they have handcuffs? Even Chinese finger cuffs would look more professional and less like they are dating.

Joshua Roman

This is wonderful to see!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing god's work my friend!!!!!

Jim McCarthy

Sadly, I have little faith in humanity, and a lot less in a police force that can't even get a simple reporting website to work. These scammers will be back out scamming more people within months. They'll buy their freedom using money stolen from the vulnerable.
