I've been working with CBC Marketplace recently and at least they release their videos on YouTube. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iii_MtlKOrs

It's a follow-up from excellent 2018 program where they went to Delhi - the doorstep of the scammers. They didn't quite go that far this time, but we did manage to prevent a few Canadian victims from being scammed.

I feature from around the 30 minute mark.

CBC did what I usually can't do... they exposed the unblurred face of the scammers. I'll also do this, but it won't be on YouTube. I'll upload the video of this scammer on a different platform.

I hope you enjoy their program. I'll post my version of one of the scams featured very shortly.
