You'll be pleased to know that one group of scammers have been shut down and the lead scammer has been arrested and jailed as a result of exposing his scams on YouTube.

You might remember this video: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qv1magyyZU

In it, I expose Arjun Singh, of the city of Dehradun in northwest India. Despite contacting the Dehradun police in June 2020 (the video was released in September), it wasn't until after the video was released that I got a response from the Uttarakand police that they wanted to investigate.

I was able to send them recordings of Arjun's scams, lists of his victims, how much money he stole and his identity documents.

Eventually, one diligent member of the police followed this up in January this year and this has led to the arrest and jailing of Arjun Singh. Here's the press article:

[ATZNews link removed for the time being]

There are a few more notices in Hindi too:
https://www.jagran.com/uttarakhand/dehradun-city-a-total-of-seven-persons-have-been-booked-by-conducting-stf-raids-21540414.html
https://hindi.news18.com/news/uttarakhand/dehradun-dehradun-cyber-criminal-arrested-in-the-name-of-fake-virus-from-us-citizen-nodbk-3552351.html

So this is a great result. As you know, my aim is not just to raise awareness of scams, but to encourage the police into taking action and this certainly seems to have worked here.

Thank you all again for giving me the time to expose scammers like Arjun. In the background, I work with police and financial institutions to protect the victims of these crimes and I really would not be able to get the time without your support in Patreon. Thank you again for making this happen!

lostcosmonaut

Great work, Jim! Is the ATZ article auto-translated? My brain is having trouble parsing some of the phrases.

Micah Ting

Jim Browning is the Karma come back to haunt these scammers. Love it!

Lillan62

Awesome! That's great!

Steve Chandler

determination to get the police involved and supply the forensic evidence .., something of course they should be doing as a matter of course , well done, hopefully other future cases will be just that tad easier .. thanks for coverage and of course entertainment as another criminal faces jail time ... will he learn his lesson ... probably not given the economic climate

Pistachio

I remember in particular the cruelty of that scammer. I'll sleep better knowing that my parents won't be getting calls from his group

Tommy King

vizigr0u

Fantastic news, well done Jim Browning :D

Scott Nelson

Smells like justice to me!!!

Sarah Coyle

You are a hero! Thanks for doing such impressive work.

Atul Gupta

They’re not worried about arrests. They’ll simply pay off the police. In India, the worst thing that can happen to you is insult within your extended family. That is, members of your extended family are made aware that you’re a thug, a crook and a lowlife fraudster (they wouldn’t understand ‘scammer’). Not giving you any ideas. Just saying...

Tirthankar Bhowmick

Great news. I am an Indian American supporting this mission. I see Kolkata police still does not care. Maybe they are part of the beneficiaries.

Maggie Willis

Fantastic results 👏thank you 😊

Simon Smart

Do you have the diligent officers details? You should have him check up on all of you friends you've made over the years...

Rose Tyler

Excellent news. Let’s hope they’ll all get shut down and put behind the bars with the help of the police.

Lorna Mangan

Congratulations- fabulous result!

Stephen Brown

Brilliant Jim let's hope this arrest is followed up with more arrest. You can only do so much let's hope the right authorities do their duty, well done again.

Preeti S

Awesome!!!!!!

Ray Hicks

Well done Jim, nice to see some official action being taken

Andrew Cockburn

Congratulations! It is great to see your hard work pay off with an arrest.

David Stranz

Well done. Just read the excellent article about your work in the AARP newsletter over lunch today. Best way to get the word out.

Rich ODrobinak

Wonderful!! I'm glad that police office followed up on your hard work. Love to actually hear the voice of a scammer, then hearing he gets arrested. I hope he is in jail for a very long time. I'm very proud to be a patreon member

Supporting you Jim is easily some of the best money I've ever spent , great to hear 🙂

FU*KING AWESOME MATE 👍

Clodagh

Well done!

Samantha Boyce

Oh Jim, what a fantastic result! You should be damn proud of everything that you do. Hopefully this will help to encourage other police and internet crime teams to act on yours and others information. Well done. Total respect to you. Thank you for everything you are doing. X

Doug Betts

That's awesome news Jim, I am happy to support your work

LouieBB

Congrats, Jim. Thank you for all you do to try and make this online world safer for all of us, particularly the most vulnerable.

Scott Nelson

I hope you're proud of yourself! (Literally...) Because we are!

Javikas

As much as we celebrate it and thank you for your work, I don't think any of us will be able to imagine the amount of money and people you have saved from having a horrible life just with this operation. You are a true hero, Jim!

Nikhila

This is amazing news! Thank you!

Josh

Omg! That’s awesome Jim! I always thought the police won’t take action against those cyber crime... they finally picked up their game.

sarah4hp

Martha Taylor

Nice article in AARP. You’re my hero, keep up the good work!

Amanda Clement

You're a modern day Superhero Mr Browning and the world is a better place for your presence. Thank you for all that you do.

Louis Carter

My rockstar made AARP APRIL 2021 vol 62 no 3 front page

JimBrowning

Thanks Louis. I've been trying hard to get the message over about scams on a medium which is more likely to be read by older folks... this seemed like the perfect medium.

Metal Donut

While I don't watch all of your vids I will say that I sub just to help you out even if it's not that much money. I respect what you do and the time it takes and I'm glad you're making a difference.

Donna Register

I just joined, wish it could have been more. You are a blessing and I hope with the small contributions you can fight crime full time. I'm unable to offer much, but if you need an old gray hair then I am the gal for you..

Jian Xiang Lian

I saw a couple of videos on your Youtube channel and loved them. That's why I decided to support your amazing work.

Jeri Spence

Happy to be part of the team! Great job!! I work at Microsoft (not in security) and so particularly hate that they use the brand for their nefarious adventures. I’ll continue to spread the word about this important work. It might feel like the little Dutch boy with his finger in the dam, but every bit helps. Thank you!

Ramon M

great work. This is why I support on Patreon. Unfortunately many still fall for such scams. More should be done by public authorities in every country in terms of educational campaigns.

Steve

This is really great stuff. I only found your YouTube today, and been both fascinated and terrified (by how they do stuff), but these will help my parents understand too. Felt proper sorry for that Candian chap, and was glad you saved him. Keep up the good work man!

Robin

I don’t understand why the police , FBI or Interpol do not set up stings , just like you are able to do. Begs the question of who are they protecting, rather than arresting!

grnface 007

Hahaha! Just saw this Jim, made my day knowing that this scum got arrested.

Paddy

Awesome Jim. You are truly amazing. You are making our planet a better place to live in.

Raymond Barker

Happy to support your work Jim greetings from south east London

Julia Gorton

Jim, just read an article by AARP and I love that you're getting recognition. I wish there was more I could do to help, but you're doing great stuff. <3

Don F Provine

You are doing great work Jim, God Bless

Marita Jeffrey

This is INCREDIBLE news... Congratulations to YOU Jim and to all of us and our parents who might have been scammed by this yuk person and his cohorts. My parents have lost thousands to these scammers. THANK YOU JIM .. another one bites the dust!! Jim Browning=Superman

Jon Henri Matteau

Could something be done about yandex.ru. These dbags bought my info and proceeded to phish nd spoof of my email. I complained and then they blasted me. I was get hundreds of spam emails daily for months. My FB got hacked, my phone got doxed. "Agencies" accepted my complaints but did NOTHING to deter yandex. I have since tried to drop that email address but google won't delete it completely.

Martin Perry

The very best thing to do when you get this stuff is just to delete their approaches and not appear to respond in any way that they can see. Complaining just identifies you as an active target.

JARITA

SE London reprezent!

Ian

No problemo my friend, happy to help the good guys any time…👍🏻

Remy C. (they-them)

I find it beyond ironic that the first link redirected me to a scam page

JimBrowning

Oh dear... the content has changed. I'll remove this and try to find another link.

Remy C. (they-them)

I was able to find it just by searching "arjun Singh arrested"

Kevin Furlong

Ugh. There was that one video where the scamee said on the phone to the scammers that he suffered from depression. Broke my heart.

William Angelos

And this is why I contributed to him via patreon. This man is a life saver for so many people around the world. The least I can do is buy him a burger and a beer every month.

Sue Sickles

Hi Jim - I have always appreciated your work and never more so than today - I just heard that a dear friend was scammed out of 10 thousand dollars- and he’ll have to declare bankruptcy 😔. It never occurred to me that not everyone knows about this stuff - I figured everyone watches - well, painful lesson learned - please please please - everyone- keep talking it up - protect each other-
