Scammer arrested after I exposed him
Added 2021-04-09 16:47:24 +0000 UTCYou'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-

2021-12-06 20:44:21 +0000 UTCAnd 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.

2021-09-12 08:46:49 +0000 UTCUgh. There was that one video where the scamee said on the phone to the scammers that he suffered from depression. Broke my heart.

2021-06-21 15:15:53 +0000 UTCThe 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.
Martin Perry
2021-05-18 12:03:34 +0000 UTCCould 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.

2021-04-14 01:02:01 +0000 UTCI 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
2021-04-13 17:14:29 +0000 UTCThis 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
2021-04-13 12:43:11 +0000 UTCgreat 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.

2021-04-10 01:57:03 +0000 UTCYes. 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

Amorlea (Tawaci-TNW)
2021-04-09 18:00:41 +0000 UTCThey’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...
