If you're in Australia, have a look out this evening for "7NEWS Spotlight" - A current affairs documentary which will feature me helping a news crew save some Australian victims in real-time.

The program will be broadcast at 7pm (Australian time) today (Sunday 12th June).

I'll post a link to the video when it's available globally.

Unfortunately I’m not in Australia but I know if you are involved in it any kind of way it’s a winner. Jim again thank you so very much for hard work and determination ❤️

Ash Loveday

I'll watch it live. 👍

Stephanie Humphries

Thank you so much Jim and I am honored to be a patron of yours❤️

Looking Forward to it if I'm up early enough in the morning to catch it live or up late enough if not hopefully you can link the video replay of everything happening.

Jim McCarthy

Cool. I haven't turned a TV on in years. Here in Australia it's pretty pathetic, esp the "commercial" stations. But if I remember I'll make an exception in your case.

Sam Braden

We are so grateful for all you do.

Lucy Roark

Thanks for letting us Aussies know. I'll definitely watch - your work is invaluable!

Peskeh

Aussie fan here, so pumped to see this shortly

Amy K

Am watching. So glad you are shining the spotlight on scams so that older Aussies might be able to spot one.

I saw the preview a few days ago and could have sworn that was you in the video, but they didnt mention you in the preview.. glad I wasnt crazy

Keith Marlow

Very well done indeed, just watched. If you ever need help Sydney side, drop me a line, got relatives North and South and access to a pool of people who would be willing to help. That 45 minute wait on the HSBC fraud line was a seriously bad joke, the banks help make these frauds possible. I'm going to chase a few contacts at the federal level.

JimBrowning

Thanks Keith. Glad you enjoyed it. The 45 minute wait was absolutely ridiculous, but something I've experienced before in other countries and other banks. Hope something positive comes from that at least.

JimBrowning

Bizarrely the filming crew didn't do much for Aussie stereotypes. The producer was from Bondi Beach and the present was really into his surfing. But I have to say, they were very cool.

Jake

Watching it now, Jim. Channel 7 is watched by a lot of the target demographic of the scammers, great work on raising awareness.

JimBrowning

Will have to get to see their piece myself soon. Hope you enjoyed it.

Keith Marlow

We have a new Minister for Cyber Security and my local MP used to be on the Federal security committee; I'm pressing buttons... When the YouTube of this comes out, its going on my LinkedIn feed. The way our banks operate and the ease with which money on mass can jump from one account to another with no controls is just daft, Its possible for these controls to be in place, little old Bendigo Bank here are right on the ball, they noticed too much money was in my wife's current account and called her to get it moved to the savings account, so its away from the credit card... Also I have a physical token for my account, it died at the weekend, lets say it took going around the houses a bit to get a new one - the bank in question seems to be pushing people to SMS based Auth with their lovely app - yes, I know...

JimBrowning

That's what I was hoping for. I'm always willing to support TV channels (and organisations like the AARP) if it can get the message over. I always give my time freely for these sorts of programs. Thanks to your support on Patreon, I can give my time like this.

SpitefulBatman

Hahaha I don't think I do much for the stereotypes either =D

Amy K

I did thanks. I'm glad you were able to help those women. Hopefully the international attention will embarrass the Indian authorities into taking action. Keep fighting the good fight.

Jonathan Marks

Been following recent posts and have huge respect for what you do, especially following up with victims, explaining what happened and then confronting the perpetrators.

Rigoberto

Sir, it is a honor to be a patreon member. I only wish I could do more to help.

Rick Beethe

Available to people in US? I get a spinning circle and then a white X.

FireStriker

I noticed your footage in the ads so I thought you worked with them

camdy

the abc is known for the older demographic but 7 and 9 are a good choice too.well done for getting the info out there to more people.

Brendan

Great work with Ch.7 in Aus. After watching it i had to check out your YouTube channel & suscribe to help support the cause. Keep up the great work 👍

Steve Jones

Yeah - I created an account and I get spinning circle trying to verify the account when they send an email..

Steve Jones

Is this related to Jim's work??

Craig Browning

The topic of Jim's work is scammers. This is news about scammers. Some are interested in the topic of scammers. If you aren't, ignore the post.

PingersAUS

I LOVE this! Literally so close to home. Both geographically and emotionally with the lady dying from cancer... :( <3

KRO

So happy to see the fight against these criminals is worldwide

Valerie C

Everyone needs to "feature" you Mr. Browning ;)

Mary Ann Ellis

Is there a schedule of the Scam Likely episodes? I want to be sure I watch the next episode when it is released.

JimBrowning

I was told there would be a new episode every week. Not sure which day of the week it's released though.

Mary Ann Ellis

Thanks, Jim. Watching what y’all did at the Peoples Call Center was very exciting and lots of fun. Thanks to everyone involved.
