I'm so bored, thanks for bringing out the vid :)

Hilarious when Tin Tin was just going "mmhm" to everything you said calling him out! Was that the actual call audio?

Anonymous

Thanks, Jim. Really enjoy these, they are very satisfying....

Thank you Jim! you are our saviour from the scammers! Keep up the great work!

You should say "Yeah I'm with the FBI and I've been tracking a cyber criminal named [scammer real name] so I can put him in jail. Would you please help me with that [scammer fake name]? I'm sitting outside his house in [scammer city] just waiting for him to scam one more person while I'm tapped into his internet so I can enter his house and arrest him." EDIT: India's CBI might be a better choice. See response below.

Mad Dire

Nice work jim

JimBrowning

It was. I cut out some of the boring/repetitive bits (they all use the same script), but the rest of the audio is unedited.

JimBrowning

Yeah - it's hard to say what would most spook them. I doubt if they'd really react to a US or UK phone number. I'm still tempted to call him on his personal mobile though.

You better take the call from Tin Tin. It's very urgent lol

Thx for doing this

Doug Edworthy

Another nice one, Jim! Keep it up.

Joseph Brzezinski

You are to tech support scammers what Chris Kyle was to the Al Quida. (reference to American Sniper)

Well done Alan 🤣 though I have one question . You say that this video is un blurred . But is there some aspects of the videos you post via patreon still blurred . Just want to clarify? Thanks Jim

Anonymous

Another great call! I was just wondering about you today and then I get the email in my inbox. :)

Iri

You're like a very relaxed cat slowly batting a mouse. I did wonder about something: did they not fully grasp what was going on and how? Are they really that thick?

JimBrowning

The only bits which are blurred even for Patrons are those details which expose the victims of the scams. I try to be careful not to let these details leak.

JimBrowning

I personally think that the slow, drip feeding of of their personal information is more effective that just telling them all I know. I'd like to think that they get more and more uncomfortable as the call goes on. They might even want to keep me on the phone to find out just how much I know.

Thank again for another great video. I've reached out to connectwise like I did with Zoho. Let's see what they have to say. By the way, I couldn't tell if the scammers were using a free trial or paid version of the screenconnect software, any idea?

Steve Jones

Great call as always.. I saw their fake business address is in Silver Spring, MD. I'm about 30 minutes from there and know the area well.. If there's something that can be done locally let me know.

LizzyC

I absolutely loved how the scammer just kept going through his script even though you'd blatantly announced that you're scam baiting. Love the work you do!

As always mate, brilliant video and love the calmness layered with a loathing of these scammers. I bet they all went home shitting themselves haha!!

Anonymous

I love your answer when he said "can I assume you are a terrorist". And you said, "that depends on how you define it" 😂 You definitely invoked some terror in them that day.

Ames

Brilliant video! May I ask why he keeps refreshing his desktop at the end?

Bumble Bee

Excellent video. Love the escalation, as they reply...'sorry', as they try to figure out what the hell is going on....then the speech pattern gets faster, with denials, and irritation, as you keep throwing the verbal punches.!!!!...knockout.!!!

JimBrowning

I'm not sure with this lot. They seem to have been operating since January 2019, so it's a possibility they paid for a ScreenConnect license. Caitlin Barnes from ScreenConnect has written to be to say that the account has been banned. I'd like to see if there is more that they can do other than keep banning accounts. Removing the "black screen" from any version of the software would be a big step forward imo.

JimBrowning

They always do this and I'm not sure why. The internet equivalent of fidgeting nervously I think.

By sound of the accent all the teams seems to be from different part. Jay and Tin tin seemed to have Bengali accent and the guy Archit sounds like he is from the Maharashtra state or that region.

Hello Jim, I can help you translate Bangla (Bengali). Do let me know if you need help. Thanks.

Oh Jim i love watching your video's , i try to keep up, but most goes over my head , keep safe and carry on. x

Antonia Fourie

It’s amazing how they keep such personal info on their work laptops, or are they just working from personal ones? Loved this concept, it would certainly spook me if I was up to no good!

Psychachu

Very cool. No need to do anything which puts yourself in harm's way if you can just spook them a little! :) I love the creativity you seem to employ with this mission.

Anonymous

Just so you’re aware buddy there was a missing censor on one of the victims names towards the beginning of the video (where you’re showing all the calls matched to victims etc) Great video again mate, I’d love to think that shit them up big time 😂😂

beaautifully executed!

Peter Bradley

This video on YouTube brought me here. It's easy to bankrupt grandparents when the consequences seem remote and unreal. I became a patreon because I like the way you make that real to these people.

Panic Blitz

It's easy to feel these days that there's no justice in the world. You help make me feel otherwise, Jim.

JimBrowning

This is indeed true Peter. Thanks for the support.... I try to do what I can to stop some of these scams. I usually try to get the police in India to do their job, but I'm usually ignored. I'm pretty sure there are more important things in the eyes of the Indian police, so if I can make one or two scammers think twice, it's probably worth it. Perhaps there will be a few less grandparents who fall victim to these scams. Thanks again for your support.

JimBrowning

Thanks PB. Like it said to Peter, perhaps this lot will decide to shut up shop or think twice now that they are exposed. Let's hope anyway.

JManke

These videos are such a delight, and super informative. As always, love your work, and looking forward to videos to come. Stay safe, Jim!

Fantastic work as always Jim.

This was utterly brilliant and a good reason to become a supporter. Bravo.

keep up the good work, last time that happened to me was when I was setting up my new laptop and trying to download the programs I like to run.

Anonymous

Nice new intro! thumbs up!

JimBrowning

Not sure...they really shouldn't be. They are on YouTube, so perhaps get the link and manually change the "quality" setting. They will always be 1080p.

Craig Browning

Here's an idea. Rent an office in a city with scammers. Set it up enough to look legit, even if it's 'being set up'. Put an ad help wanted for scam call center staff, experience needed. (Sorry carriage returns aren't working for paragraphs). When people come and apply, give them applications to fill out with personal information - name, home address, bank information for direct deposit of salary. Then publish the applications.

Gotta love it when you're actually telling him what you're actually doing and he 100% ignores it.

All these videos make me so happy to see. My grandmother just recently got a scam call while she was out of town dealing with her sister terminally ill. Thankfully my mom is helping with her finances and was able to confirm with the bank it was a lie and stop my grandmother from calling back. But there are way too many that arent that lucky. Thank you so much for helping everyone you can and at least make these scammers days a bit more hellish.

I can translate Bengali and Assamese for you. Let me know if I can be of any help to you.

RM

The accent sounds like from the north-east of India. May not be Bangla

Funhouse Mirror

Why did Tin Tin use a woman's photo for chat when he's obviously a male and that's not him. Is he catfishing as well?
