Almost scammed for £32,000 (Patreon edition)
Added 2018-12-19 23:34:20 +0000 UTCThis is an early access and extended version of a forthcoming video... just for my $3+ Patrons.
I witnessed an attempt to scam an elderly man of £32,000 (around $40,000) by a scammer from Kolkata in India. They tried to convince him to go to his local Santander Bank and transfer funds to another UK bank account. This video describes their techniques for persuading him to do this and the coaching they gave him to ensure that he complied with their demands.
Many thanks for your support - without you, these videos would not be possible.

This just happened to my disabled sister who is in a nursing home and she was saying how disabled she was. 😢 He was shouting at her because she had difficulty following instructions. I am gutted.

2018-12-22 09:43:47 +0000 UTCPlease keep up the great work. I have to wonder - as I am sure many do - just why the 'authorities' cannot do as you do to catch these thieves. Maybe they do something AFTER the scam but we know that can result in a whole lot of red tape. Oh, maybe I just answered my own question.
2018-12-21 01:49:31 +0000 UTCNot suprised about Lloyds at all to be fair. At least Santander was trying to make an effort
2018-12-20 23:19:47 +0000 UTCWow TSB really?
2018-12-20 15:40:01 +0000 UTCI can't imagine the Christmas that would have been in store for this poor man and his family without you stepping in. It must be so confusing for the guy to have two perfect strangers telling them different things,which makes your job harder, especially when the scammer has had 30 minutes to sell their story. You only hope they make the instant association to the man who does not want them to transfer all their money away!
2018-12-20 15:20:03 +0000 UTCI don't know where you have to leave your conscience to do this. Its mostly the guys at the top making the money of course and the minions doing the dirty jobs. But even so, it's hard to see past the callousness.
