Inside a Bank Impersonation Scam
Added 2024-06-12 15:39:44 +0000 UTCThis group of scammers operate in the city of Lucknow, Northern India.
I send a person to go inside their building to secretly film them as they scam people in the UK. I manage to wreck their scam by getting the police to intercept victims' packages of cash which they send to money mules and discovery the network they use to launder cash.
I attempt to get them attested, but the results are disappointing...

2024-12-16 16:34:58 +0000 UTCGood on you. I responded last year to the Australian Cyber Security Strategy Discussion Paper and provided them a whole shopping lists of things they could do to make life really difficult for scammers and dramatically increase the odds of them getting caught in the act. It looks like that, with others no doubt similar ideas, are finally getting implemented.

2024-08-20 07:54:09 +0000 UTCI'm looking at a scam e-mail with a phone number. Where can I send it for some action against it by scambaiters?

2024-07-09 00:03:09 +0000 UTCThat happened to me 3 days ago ! I just cursed at the guy & called him a scammer & hung up. I hadn’t been in any accident recently or in many years. I don’t know what info he was after because I hung up on him.

2024-06-20 08:55:10 +0000 UTCGreat video, Jim! I always feel the need to have a lie down after watching your videos just to try to quell the rage and frustration I have towards these scumbag scammers.

2024-06-18 18:01:26 +0000 UTCI don't see a general chat area, so I'll post here, I think I just heard a new scam. (Why can't we enter paragraphs). A called said he's from some 'claims' company and said he was calling about a collision in the last two years. I accused him of being a scammer and asked him to name the date and location and he hung up. Not sure where it was headed.

2024-06-15 20:57:00 +0000 UTCNo worries Jim I didn’t mind spending a extra few dollars to watch your video because it was worth way more than that but thank you anyway ❤️

2024-06-15 16:02:41 +0000 UTCThat is strange about Patreon repayment. Not sure why that happened. Will look into it.

2024-06-15 06:17:32 +0000 UTCOutstanding work Jim! Keep it up! I imagine you have already considered this, but what about reporting this to your MP and/or having them put pressure on the consulate of the countries involved?

2024-06-15 05:31:52 +0000 UTCHello Sir Jim Browning. First of all, I want to thank you for emailing me the movie, and say that you are doing a great job. I really Love what you are doing if you have the opportunity keep up your excellent work to get these thieves (scammers) behind bars.. We really hope that the police of India get hold of this and do something about it. Yes, I have heard that there are police officers who are corrupt. Once again, Thank you and be well.

2024-06-13 05:18:58 +0000 UTCGreat video once again! But as is so often the case, it's both really disappointing and not really surprising that they got away…

2024-06-13 02:39:59 +0000 UTCI know how incredibly frustrating it is for you to put so much time & work into these investigations & gathering of evidence, and then have FB make you take down the videos because these criminals have complained, Thanks again for all you do!!

2024-06-12 23:44:51 +0000 UTCIt's good that you discovered this scam happening Mr. Browning. These people make me so very angry. I mean the lady was crying and in distress over this, and all the scammer did was talk over her. What terrible scum. Thank you for bringing this scam to light. Now that I know about it, other's are going to be informed.

2024-06-12 19:26:13 +0000 UTCRight, I was thinking that was the reason but hadn't watched the video yet so I wasn't sure, but Jim does address this particular point in it. Like you said, it's baffling that YouTube is protecting scammers like this.
Thibaut Renaux
2024-06-12 18:50:14 +0000 UTCThanks, that's a good workaround. Until YouTube gets their act together, I suppose that will have to do.

2024-06-12 18:48:48 +0000 UTCWishing I would have come across this sooner so that I could have offered Patreon support sooner as I am not big YouTube viewer. I shared one of your other videos with my elderly father who apparently is often on YouTube. He responded that he already watches a few guys who mess with scammers! Thank you all for what you do.

2024-06-12 18:36:14 +0000 UTCWe all have such admiration for your dedication and kindness in your work to right the wrong scammers are doing. My heart broke listening to the crying woman as she thinks things are being remedied. It’s very disheartening to realize once again the police are not enforcing the law. There should be posters of these criminals faces and names all over their community as well as on their local news programs ,in schools and shops and their places of worship…..something I can’t get my mind wrapped around

2024-06-12 18:29:39 +0000 UTCYes Jim mentioned it twice that YouTube will not allow the names and faces of criminals to be shown. The world is upside down

2024-06-12 17:50:57 +0000 UTCOmg Jim this is so bittersweet after all your hard work getting all that information they were tipped off. This is so irritating what the Indian police do but we are not going to stop until these criminals are behind the bars right? Btw I was already a patreon and I had to pay again to join in order to watch this video 🤦🏽♀️I went ahead and paid it because that’s how bad I wanted to see it and it was well worth it. Thank you so much again my wonderful friend for your hard work determination and perseverance you are amazing ❤️😘
Stephanie Humphries
2024-06-12 17:21:04 +0000 UTCThanks Jim, great job getting yer man his money back at least. The Indian police need to sort themselves out. What a disgrace they’re all up to their eyeballs in it 🤬

2024-06-12 16:57:05 +0000 UTCIf you go to the Vimeo mobile site on your phone, you should be able to cast to devices such as Chromecast or your TV. I was able to cast to my Google Nest display.

2024-06-12 16:46:26 +0000 UTCIt's more the mentality of going into 'work' every day knowing that you're going to be stealing money. I just can't get my head around the lack of empathy. I guess greed overrides that for many.
Jim Browning
2024-06-12 16:46:20 +0000 UTCI’ve never been scammed myself and it’s so sad to see these people falling for these tricks…

2024-06-12 16:07:25 +0000 UTCWould it be possible for you to upload the video to YouTube as well? I like to watch on my TV and that's not really doable using Vimeo or Patreon's integrated player. If you can't upload it to YouTube because of privacy reasons or something, that's fine, I understand. Just thought I'd ask. EDIT: My bad, I posted this comment before watching the video, in which you address my question. Crazy that YouTube is fine with protecting the scammers' identity like that. Lately I've seen numerous videos by other scam-investigators get taken down because of this, so I kind of figured that would be the reason this wouldn't be on YouTube, but like I said I hadn't watched the video yet. Apologies for the useless comment!
