Amit Chauhan arrested

Sadly, I have little faith in humanity, and a lot less in a police force that can't even get a simple reporting website to work. These scammers will be back out scamming more people within months. They'll buy their freedom using money stolen from the vulnerable.

Jim McCarthy

This is wonderful to see!!!!!!!!!!!! You are doing god's work my friend!!!!!

I think it’s more demoralizing

Alex Degrandis

Why are the police holding the miscreant's hands? Don't they have handcuffs? Even Chinese finger cuffs would look more professional and less like they are dating.

Odd to see the police holding hands with the thieves. No handcuffs used? Glad they are caught. Excellent work.

Funhouse Mirror

Do we have the result of the court? Like did he get sentenced to anything?

A belated congratulations but I had to message.. Please keep doing what you’re doing .

I know I'm late, but delighted to read this update 😊 brilliant work, Jim.

Danie George

great news. The Indian police have been shamed into doing an actual investigation

you’re my hero

Goodbye jackals!

I think they figure they are not a physical danger to public.

Ellenor Bjornsdottir

Hand holding in India is a common thing (part of the culture). I have a friend who lives there and runs an orphanage. His Indian friends always try to hold hands with him. However I have never heard of someone doing that if they are not your friend.

Does hand-holding = scammer handcuffs? That seems right.

Stuff your scams in your face Amit....pure scum benefitting from the frail, sick and vulnerable people. Great to see them paraded in front of the press.

Ramon M

Dear Jim, do u know anyone that can support me with the issue that I am facing Instagram? I am not able to access the account for the past few months despite messaging the Instagram team the details. They didn't bother replying. I hope you see this message! I love your videos btw.

They are going behind the bars

Outstanding work Jim!

Allan N

That's so fantastic!!! Thank you Jim. For this cool action I'll support you with money now. I'm from Germany btw and I love your videos:)

U r the only one... that I Kniw..who confronted these...sneaky, 2 faced THEIVES... who occupy positions of ministers in uk, & senators... & Samantha loves them too!!!

Good job

Agreed! Arrested or double dating ?! ... more investigation required ;-)

good work Jim... Why are they interlocking their fingers in that romantic way?

Russ Walker

Hey Jim, I just joined the Silver Tier. I can’t seem to find the Discord Link or the unblurred/uncensored videos?

How do I find the videos?

Great but who are these four dudes double dating?

jasonbelcourt@yahoo.com

Any update on legal action against this piece of scum?

Richard Jeffery

These guys should do six months community punkawallah :-)

Chris

AWWWEE They're holding hands <3 How cute lol

This is just pure gold Jim! It is unbelievable the amount of work you've done to get to this point!

Holding hands like people mad in love!

lakrj

Jim if you need a friend in Denver CO please reach out

Patrick McKernan

Ultimately, it's the end result which counts. I didn't share the footage for credit... It was to try to see if the Indian police would stop ignoring the problem.

Jim Browning

Thank you Abby. Again, I really appreciate this increased support.

Jim Browning

Awesome work Jim. This particular series encouraged me to support your work by becoming a Silver Supporter. :)

I think you did most of the work and should have got more credit. BBC was more theatre. But at least justice was done.

Jonathan Marks

Great work Jim love ur vids 👍

Nice job Jim, have yourself a cigar.

Chris

I was really saddened after I heard the call from the depressed guy. Thank u for sniping them.

Sir, I'm from South India. Could you share the details of the employees, F.I.R Number of the police complaint, details of the bosses etc. I would like to follow up on this. I don't think they will be prosecuted. For all it takes is just $676050 to buy a member of Parlement in India. It takes a lot less to bribe an MP or a policeman. Please get in touch with 'LiveLaw.in' and 'Thewire.in' and 'thequint.com' and 'TheIndianExpress' to make it public in India. They will investigate everyone locally and follow up the investigation on the ground. In India Amit Chauhans may change, Weak F.I.R may be written, evidence may be tampered, and judges can be bought. Please please please 😭🙏

Awww. Where did they go on their double date?

Does anybody know what happened to Amit Chauhan ? I hope he gets life but will probably get out on a $5 bribe .

Yes in my country too they hand cuff and lead you away, you manage to escape they will chase you down might pepper spray you maybe even put the dogs on you but will recapture you and lock you up but I reckon over there you escape they will chase you down too, re capture you but then give you the beating of your life and then if have a few dollars you can pay your way out and have a curry with the cops and laugh about it !

Oh no, now I’ll have to get a VPN to watch the bbc doco haha. Nah I’ll wait for part 4. Good on you Jim.

I find it weird that they are holding hands. The police here will here will handcuff you then lead you away . Holding hands doesn't seem like a very effective restraint.

I hope at least some of the victims will be able to get their money back. It's the very first time I've seen the Indian police supply an email address for victims of this scam. I hope it's a sign of good things to come.

Jim Browning

Excellent! Now, can everyone have their money back?

So awesome :D

Super! Love your videos. Great work!

im glad that this happened :)

Great work Jim, picture looks like their going on a date 😂😂

Keep it up Jim... I hope all your hard work gets the reward. Hope Indian police and the judicial system take this case seriously and punish the heartless criminals...

Agreed! Great work Jim! Nice to see something actually happened too!

dans

Great work Jim!

You are really a genius Jim! Thanks for all the effort!

Ada Wong

Why are they holding hands with the police? Are they friends?

Appericate your work..

Aww, at least they're getting a really solid hand-hold out of it.

I just hope that the guy that scammed the man who suffered from depression goes to jail. Are there any news about this guy?

I'm not sure at this point. They were relatively poorly paid. I'm just glad they got the person at the top.

Jim Browning

Will the workers go to court, too?

Thank you Jake.

Jim Browning

Yes. This would be a result. I've already provided them with a list of some victims details, so there's a chance that some people many be able to get at least some of their money back.

Jim Browning

I'm going to ask for that. Even though I submitted the case electronically, I wasn't shown any kind of case number, nor did I receive an email. On Tuesday, just before the raid, I was a bit alarming that I was asked to resubmit exactly what I put on this form, but by email. I could be wrong, but it seemed as if that report wasn't available to the Haryana police even though I used their own form. I wouldn't be surprised if the form is broken.

Jim Browning

Do you have a case number or a filing code for the charges I would like to follow that case in detail.

Jim, I became a “Patron” because of your unending devotion to helping those people who have been scammed. I love your work and your YouTube. Thank you for getting us unprecedented access

You sir, are an unsung hero!

I just raised my Patreon level ! Can't think of the money going to any better cause!!

Karen Ramsay

I'm going to be a patreon supporters for you now after your good work for society

Well done. Seeing the results from your efforts is exciting!

TBH you're not missing much. The Panorama programme features a lot of "talking head" interviews with the scamees, which for me is much less interesting than Jim's "Spying on the scammers" production.

Tom Scott

Undoubtedly a scam.

Jim Browning

I could link to the BBC iPlayer version but this is locked to be accessible only in the UK. They will post a YT version in around a week I believe.

Jim Browning

Jim, where is the link to the Panorama show? You never posted it.

https://blogs.wsj.com/indiarealtime/2014/12/01/why-indian-police-hold-hands-with-suspects/

You’re amazing Jim!

Here is a news article with more background: https://www.p24news.com/gurugram-police-busted-fake-call-center-looted-3-crores-online-from-foreigners

Outstanding work!

Thanks to guys like you I almost got scammed over the past few days allow me to explain I got a text message from someone called ' Daniel' telling me he had a package for me that I ordered and if I clicked on a link in the text message I'd get my package . Well of course I realised it was a scam as I don't know anyone called 'Daniel' and I didn't order any package. they didn't stop there I got another one about an hour ago not mentioning Daniel' but still telling me they had my so called package and asking me to reply via the same link. I just deleted both messages

Hi Jim,

You are a legend Jim. Amazing work.

Don't they look lovely, like a bunch of lovers. Still, I don't have much faith into the Indian legal system. Still, I think the result is outstanding and of all the baiters and vigilante out there, my heart only goes to one. Yeah, that is you Jim.

Good job, Jim. Shame it takes national TV and international shaming of the perpetrators and the system to get anything done about such egregious behaviour by the local police... let's just hope that the punishment actually fits the crimes committed - not just for him, but for everyone involved. So glad to know that I can help support your work, however limited my funds are. With my own parents now in the "target" age bracket for these kinds of scams, and with myself disabled, housebound and on a limited income, both my parents and myself have been repeatedly targetted. Luckily my parents are educated enough with regards to computers to recognise these kinds of scams and I don't mind wasting their time while I'm doing other things, but seeing someone who continues to try and scam me, despite telling them I am on a low, fixed income, and that I would have to get the money by drawing it from my own, very elderly parents, who are ALSO on a very low income? To even resort to the romance scams? They make me so furious and disgusted that I'm happy to support you as much as I can if it stands any chance of helping to take them down.

Andy D.

Looks like they have made firm friends with the two policemen already.

andy b

I'm not trying to look into things too much: why are the cops holding hands with these cunttwats? Is this normal behavior when an officer of the law arrests someone in the Republic of India?

Outstanding Jim, glad to be a part of your support group.

You are amazing, Jim. I started supporting you a year ago. You did mention if you could get more support you would have time to get more involved. Congrats, job well done.

Many many compliments for helping the community and sending this "person" to jail.

Hi Mr Browning, were you still monitoring the CCTV when the police entered the offices? Any reflections of the Panorama documentary in the phone conversations, CCTV? I'm guessing it was quite dramatic...

I get scam calls all the time. I have so much fun messing with them. I would like to thank dvr, Jim Brown, Leo, scammer payback, scammer revolts for what you guys do to keep us informed on the latest scams keep up the good work

As a professional fraud fighter who rarely gets to see justice served, this FILLS MY HEART! Great job, Jim! You're a hero!

Just wasted 16mins of an Indian BT scammer that called me (I am productively working with my hands while he talks so it suits me well to waste their time). Not very much but I have no virtual machine experience to go far. Helpful chap called Jack, wanted to fix my intermittent internet dropouts which, it seems, 'BT' couldn't do from their end. Interesting how when you make it out that you are suspicious they get more aggressive, ask why you're wasting their time (they called me) then threaten to cut off your phone and internet as a last resort. He was a bit crap. 5 out of 10. Number reported to BT and to WhoCalled? Weirdest thing is that he was purely vindictive in that he was happy to hang up on me after telling me I would be cut off. Utterly stupid as, if I was really taken in, I would be more suspicious of such calls in the future because my line was not cut off as he said it would be. I'll pull the dyslexic card next time perhaps: 'there is no crtl key!'. Website he wanted me to connect to was www. hubs5. webs. com after 'persuading' worried little me to run event viewer. I'll be more dramatic next time.

Syd

Awesome!!!

Great work Jim! Its funny how they are holding hands ;]

Brillant !

So cute; they're holding their hands. That's quick to court; perhaps just preliminary. Let's see what the punishment turns out to be. Good stuff anyway.

Syd

nice work Jim! Let's hope it has some knock-on effect, both with the police and the scammers themselves. There's gótta be one or two (would-be) scammers that hear of this and decide to get out. Every bit helps.

Roy Spaan

Is it wrong that I feel so smug today and am laughing at another mans downfall?? Hell No, I am going to enjoy every minute of this. Well done Jim,

Well done Fella - even though it looks as though the police are just holding hands for the camera !!

Incredible news Jim! This is all a direct result of your hard work. Supporting you on Patreon is worth every penny. Thank you for all you’ve done to better society.

Mostafa

You are the only person on patreon who I have ever contributed money to - what you do is awesome and a public service.

Ontical

This is a great result Jim - nice work! Hopefully other scammers will start to think twice about what they are doing

You are the best, Jim. Cybercrime organizations could open up some offices full of Jims. It seems like not much is done about it, and you do more work on this than police or cybercrime organizations...

I think the more people who can tie them up, the better. I'll always encourage as many as possible to waste their time.

Jim Browning

Great work Jim, I had a call from a scam today and kept them talking on the phone for a few minutes before exposing them. Would be interested in anything we can collectively do to uncover other call centres.

lovely! More power to you and shout out to Karl Rock as well! :)

Gaurab Sundar Dutta

It is worth every Penny being your Patreon. You make us proud. Thank you for taking it like 1000 Steps further than just wasting scammers time. You are a Legend good Sir!

HELL YEAH!

GamerForLifeDrakunia

Good work!

Amazing work!

Alvin the Chipmunk

That's fantastic, well done! Nice to see your efforts paying off! (I wonder if the Indian police should invest in handcuffs, and not just hold the suspects hands 😄)

Congrats on the recent bust, that's awesome!

Great stuff Jim -- let us hope that it puts the frighteners on one or two of his competitors !!!

Thank you Jim for again your great work! Love the way you proceed! Proud to be one of your patreon 😊😊

Awesome! Fantastic work. I watched Karl's video as well. Well done, both of you.

Only problem is what will we watch on YouTube with no scambaitrs.

That's bloody fantastic Jim.. I think this has put enough pressure on the authorities to do something. Arrest is one thing... actual legal action is another. I think by keeping up the pressure and let them know that the world is watching them for their next move against the scammers, that this will end unhappily for those predators.

Annette Erdtsieck

Great work Jim! You and Karl are heroes! Although you need to tell Karl to be more discreet and stay safe. These scammers aren't going to take this lying down.

Finally. Well done, Jim.

I love how they don't handcuff them. Fuck you hold my hand bitch.

Awesome Jim keep up the excellent work. We all appreciate the hard work you are putting into the effort even the ones who don't know who you are or how much you have contributed to this cause .

4 lacks a month rent, thats money most Indians cant even dream of.

Let’s hope they lose all that money they scammed as well as any savings they have.

They are holding hands tightly. i guess its gonna be a goood night at the Police station for them. Congratulations Jim. Great Effort!

nice one!

andy b

I’m glad they’re behind the bars

Congratulations anyway Jim. Great effort....quite outstanding.

Richard Jeffery

Are you sure they have been arrested? No cuffs? They are just holding hands with the cops?

Richard Jeffery

Awesome Jim, really great work!

Incredible work

This is the best news I've heard in a long time. Jim, congratulations, and the world thanks you.

SD

It sure doesn't look like any arrest I would of imagined.... No cuffs?? Are you sure this wasn't staged??

I am over the moon!!! Already the Indian Police are whining about how difficult it is going to be to prosecute. There needs to be website created and a follow up story on the news and on YouTube telling victims where they can forward their evidence--- and another one on how to claim a refund from PayPal. Hit them in the wallet---it's the only thing that gets their attention.

Karen Ramsay

Ahh it’s nice they are holding hands :) Maybe they are friends with the nice police officers 😂

Great news! Congrats!

Congratulations Jim. Call me cynical, but I’m sure he can fix the problem, so I suspect there is more to come. But once again nice work.

Nice to see you gettings results m8, more power to your elbow💪🏻

Ray Hicks

Incredible work. I doubled my pledge after watching your last post

Jake Brownson

This is why I joined your patreon. Fantastic result, Jim.

Jim incredible work. What an honor to be a part of this.

Harry Conger

Lol - This is truely amazing. Thank you BBC for your involvement, unfortunately without them I doubt anything would have come of all of Jims amazing hard work, but most importantly thank you to JB for all that hard work, its just amazing and inspirational.

SpitefulBatman

I kind of want to frame this photo so I can have a giggle every day. 🤣 Amazing work, Jim!

Music is a Rainbow

I HOPE THE COURTS CONFISCATE ALL THE PROCEEDS OF HIS CRIME.

Result! :)

Happy to be your subscriber

Richard Hartzell

Excellent news.

Richard Hartzell

Hopefully they will go fast from holding hands - to holding on to someone's inside pocket (aka. "prison b*tch")

Viorel

Ehm. Is it a custom there to restrain people by hand holding instead of using handcuffs? Hand holding with strangers is one of the ways to get your very own CoViD-19 colony :)

Good job, Jim! This is awesome!

Just watched your YouTube videos on this today and subscribed there and here. Grateful for your hard work.

SEAN D MARTIN

Hopefully he gets extradited all over the globe with multiple sentences

Good! Hope this is a warning to other scammers, hope this terrifies them.

Lynda (⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠)

You’re under arrest you may now hold my hands you dirty scum

Joyboy

Well done Jim. Hopefully he goes to jail for a very long time and money returned to those that been scammed. Hopefully all the workers in the call centre will also see long jail times.

Why are they holding hands??

Excellent result. Well done.

You're awesome Jim - long may your stella work continue!

Tripodski

One thing about the police in India, and why they never have responded to your previous alerts, is that they are totally corrupt and allow scam centres such as this to operate, in return for cash. They have only taken action this time because of the Panorama episode. No action from them, following that expose, would raise suspicion about their role as a police force. The police in india will allow any criminal enterprise to operate in exchange for a percentage of profits. This has been so for decades. This is so all around the world - not just in India. Police corruption is rife everywhere.

Steve Z

I think the policeman are being punished as well for being so complacent that Jim had to do their work for them haha

The work you do is fantastic Jim. Thank you.

Steve Z

Congrats Jim, A great accomplishment. You ARE the MAN.

That is so awesome! Thank you Jim for all you do! Incidentally, I JUST got a call from the scammer that scammed my dad a few years ago saying his "protection" has expired and it's time to renew.

Randy Kovach

He’s fucking scum hope he goes to jail for a long time

Finally they got him and you have been a huge support from you. Nice done.

Awesome! Great job! :D

Kirsten Miller

so awesome!

Ben Guyton

Just need a Red Indian and a lumber jack in there.

Jim Browning

THis is such awesome news! Awesome job Jim!

Joseph Brzezinski

It is particularly YMCA...

Jim Browning

In the waves of web without borders, you're a beacon of tranquility :)

YetAnotherFool

Did they run out of shackles, or have they each been forced into a relationship with a copper?

Chris Phillips

Why are they holding hands? Lol

Joyboy

Excellent news! Keep up the good work.

Holy shit, you did it! Congrats!

Brilliant news. Well done Jim!

Congrats, this is great news. I've always said what you're doing is a public service, and I'm glad to help you in some small.way!

Lee Trott

Had 2 callers today, I’m wondering if it’s possible that it’s from that call center lmfao

Well done Jim, saw this on BBC News and smiled. :)

I like that they’re holding hands.

Hey man! Thanks for what you do! Has to be satisfying to finally see results! Thanks for taking us on the ride.

P W

Don't they look sweet holding hands! :D Great work Jim.

Good news!

Awesome!

EpicLPer

I hope he is in jail for a long time.

Allixandra

Haha gets what was coming well done for your hard work and patience
