Scammer arrested after I exposed him

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!

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-

Sue Sickles

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.

William Angelos

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

Kevin Furlong

Wow

Jonas Dev

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

Kat C.

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

Jim Browning

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

Kat C.

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

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.

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.

God bless u jim

The work you are doing could easily save lives. If a scam victim was desperate and depressed - and then scammed out of all they had.....

Great job 👌

Sophie Ray

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

You are doing great work Jim, God Bless

Jim, have you seen this. FYI. https://twitter.com/manabhardwaj/status/1381863677146529797?s=21

Ramandeep Singh

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

grnface 007

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!

Robin

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!

Steve

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.

Ramon M

Great work Jim!

Don Coleman

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!

Jeri Spence

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

Jian Xiang Lian

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..

Donna Register

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.

Metal Donut

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.

sarah4hp

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

Josh

This is amazing news! Thank you!

Nikhila

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!

Javikas

Yes. I'm particularly keen to work with the AARP as they reach exactly the audience I can't reach... they recently published a magazine article on how to combat scams and featured some of what I do. I've tweeted about it, but if you've not seen the article, it's here: https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2021/international-tech-support-scam-exposed.html

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

Rose Tyler

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

Simon Smart

Fantastic results 👏thank you 😊

Maggie Willis

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.

Tirthankar Bhowmick

Super! :)

A Girl Online

Absolutely fantastic Jim!

Amorlea (Tawaci-TNW)

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...

Atul Gupta

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

Sarah Coyle

Smells like justice to me!!!

Scott Nelson

Great to hear!!!

Aliaksei Ivanov

Fantastic news, well done Jim Browning :D

Not all heroes wear capes. Or maybe you do? Either way, fantastic work.

Pat Fox

Well done Jim! Great result!!

John Giddens

Amazing news! So happy we have people like you out there!

Thomas Settle

Seems working great. Thank you for your hard work

Tommy King

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

Pistachio

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

Steve Chandler

Great job!

Danielle M

Awesome! That's great!

Lillan62

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

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