Scammer training material

I found this audio file on the PC of the group who sent me a fake order email (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG-KjCSt14k). It's almost identical to the scam that I encountered in that video, so I think it's been used to "train" scammers into how to run this kind of scam.... what language to use, when to pause and pretend to look up an order system etc.

I don't know the outcome of this scam - the audio cuts off, but I hope that she wasn't scammed.

Even if you don't listen to all of the audio (it's over 1 hour), I just want to highlight a few points in the audio which are particularly scary. From the 09:00 - 11:00 mark, the scammer really tries the scare tactics and starts the usual lies when he has remote access at the 21:40 - 22:35 mark. 

The woman plainly doesn't understand what is happening 38:57 - 40:06 and the scammer takes full advantage.

The victim is plainly scared throughout the entire scam.

So if you were wondering how scammers train themselves up on running scams, it's probably through audio like this.

I listened to the entire hour and change recording and agree that anyone can be scammed, but gawdamn, a little bit of common sense and instinct goes a long way! Sheesh! When they change the prices and change the terms of the coverage, it’s suspect enough to reconsider their validity. But great find Mr. Browning. Definitely a good study guide.

7:12 “Funny” how they are using the anti-Mexican hysteria during Trumps presidency to really sink this one in.

Loving it :D

oh , I just got to the bit where she is crying.. this is so painful,knowing she is interacting with the very person she is scared of .I am so disgusted with this "person" i wish karma was a real thing .i hope

If this is the training Audio , this scammer sounds hopeless, bad explanations ridiculous reasoning, badly worded poor timing. A person with half a brain cell, who is not "English second language" . could do so much more damage.

Hi Jeff, Please do email me this... jimbrowning@fastmail.fm. I tend to steer away from these types of scams because they rarely make a computer connection and I can't then find out more about who they are. But I'll take a look. Thanks

Just got a scammer trying to contact me via a Family members account in Messenger for a grant scam. They left a number and the email address to obtain the grant. If you’re interested and we passing this along to you so you can play with them – let me know.

I agree with Russ, Sorry not more as now retired due to ill health.

Immigrating from an undeveloped and probably corrupted country myself (I was born in Vietnam).. I would think the police does not have much of an incentive to bust the locals.. since their revenue benefit the country and its citizens.

Wow this just makes me reiterate in my head that as soon as I have more money I will up my tier level as high as I can afford just to help as many people get their money back as we can. I don't have the skills to personally stop any of these guys so I'm really glad for the opportunity to crowdfund with everyone. Thanks Jim you're a legend!

Interesting. It may be for Search Engine Optimization though rather than a scam in their own right. I think they do this to get higher up on Google's rankings. I've seen that before. If you create web pages, reddit notices, PDF files, images etc with "xxx support number", you'll climb up Google's rankings. Judging my the views of these YouTube pages, they couldn't rely on this alone for generating calls. Thanks for this though.

Jim Browning

Thanks Scott. Well on my way!

Jim Browning

I'll try! I'm a big fan of ScammerRevolts.

Btw, there is a phone support scammer on YT which has been irking me for a while. You can see some of their scam channels/videos if you search for one of their phone numbers: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=6289042467 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=6289092937 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=6289380996 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=7544075738 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=8101824071 https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=9162206795 etc. Perhaps good material for a future investigation? :)

Hi Jim, I just joined and find your material fascinating! Thank you for providing insight into the inner working of these scammers.

I blame Indias ineffectual police Depts who do almost nothing nor does the Indian Govt. if Jim can find them so can the Indian Govt but for some unknown reason they are not interested in stopping them. Older American are the typical victim and its maddening.

Stuart, Thank you so much for getting in touch. I hope you're able to regain your mobility soon. It must be torture to be bed bound. I hope the surgery goes well. Thanks too for the sponsorship and offer of servers. At some point in the future, I would like to host a fake bank server, ideally with some function, but obviously no real real money involved. I know Kitboga uses such a fake bank. They are always useful for wasting scammer's time, but equally, they can be used to expose their tactics. Anyway, it's one for the future. Thanks again for reaching out to me. Regards, Jim

Hello Jim. It is great to communicate with you. I have been a computer security consultant and a Dr in cryptology. I spent most of my life working for the Royal Navy and the Ministry Of Defence. I have a great deal of admiration for the moral standards and level of self control you exercise. Sadly I am only able to pay a small monthly amount in as I am currently bed bound with spinal injuries and awaiting surgery. As I do not have my servers active I am unable to maintain an income currently. If my servers were active I would most certainly assist you with a larger payment along with the exclusive use of one of my servers. If I can help or assist you in any way please do not have any hesitation in contacting me. I do have some military contacts and some in the police force. Also if I am able to assist you with any technical issues I most certainly will. Watching your uploads I can see you are very experienced technically but if I can help I will be more than happy to do so. As I am currently bedbound and have no mobility at all I have nothing but time on my hands so please do not feel you are disturbing me in any way whatsoever. You should be proud of what you do and I only wish I could give a greater financial commitment to your worthy cause. I wish you all the very best my friend. Stuart.

New patreon here. I hope you reach your ultimate goal. We need more government involvement on stopping these scammers. But in the meantime, we need more people like you. Our cyber guardian angel.

https://www.quickadvisorusa.com/ this website was exposed by scammerrevolts last year .. But it is still active .. Please shut down this scammers from mumbai

Yes - if find you do have to have a certain ruthless mindset to be a scammer. I don't know how most of them sleep at night. Desperation is one thing, but I believe most are not in this game because they're forced. :(

Jim Browning

Thank you Melissa. I'll be running a number of gold live streams shortly. Hopefully they will suit your timezone. Jim

Jim Browning

I just wanted to thank you again and let you know I am now a proud patreon gold member. I truly appreciate the bright light you shine on the parasites that try and feed on us all. If you ever need anyone to do some grunt work for you I am available.

Ruthless. Destroyed me when she started crying saying she was scared, and he said she was in "safe hands." Breathed a sigh of relief when she said her boyfriend worked for Dell.
