  2. I know people working in security departments at banks that have stopped large transactions and phoned people. Most refuse to listen as the scammer is always right. One person I heard about lost £50K as the call handler was pleading with the person not to transfer money and saying that it was a con. He was repeatedly warned that if he did go ahead, the bank had advised him not to, explained he was giving his money away and was speaking to criminals, so would not be able to get it back and the bank would not be paying him for his own losses. He was advised the call was being recorded and asked him to confirm everything again. As a last resort, they said it would take until the next day to release the money, to get him to think about it. He argued and demanded they release his money, so they did and he lost the lot. It ended up in the Philippines and "vanished". That is a bank that has the best fraud detection centre around, very pro-active.

  4.  @helengren9349  Well he is a scammer, and has scammed Jim. Jim is just as open to scams as any of us, look what happened over the youtube channel. Scammers by nature are devious and he is just telling Jim what he thinks he wants to hear whilst using him and passing on information back to the scammer groups. You can not trust people like that.

  5.  @MikyleY  It is SO true, I have seen people go to prison for "helping friends" with cashing fake travellers cheques and handing in their ID to do so. They are either lonely or stupid and just glad of the attention or being part of something.

  6.  @maxine_q  The UK ones I have seen do state what they are for, but people ignore that. The same as they ignore the part about not reading it out or sharing it with ANYONE ELSE.

  7. I wasn't impressed by the first show. I didn't think it would just be general info and one interview. There was very little material just being padded out. I wanted to see it more structured about types of scam, then how scammers use various phrases and actions people could learn to associate with real scams. The production crew didn't seem to have a clue. Showing the video in which you started naming people in a scam centre or doing the chipmunk would have been hilarious, a scammer fight back, maybe including all the tricks trilogy media did. It felt like a wasted show when you could have put so much in to it if directing!

  8. Don't be greedy by putting content behind a paywall. The income from YouTube must supplement his day job.

  9. Nothing to do with knowing less about technology, it is quite often because they are glad to get a call and speak to someone. They just go along with what they are told. It's like when they get warned to lock doors and keep keys out of sight. They agree then leave doors unlocked and keys in view of letter boxes. One person said they had nothing to steal, another said no one hard arms that long and one said no one would go in if they were in the house. Despite all the warnings, people ignore them through genuine lack of mental capacity, or through greed and thinking they are more clever than the scammer and will teach them a lesson. I saw that with one lonely pensioner who went to prison for getting money for fake Travellers cheques in a post office for "friends". He kept the money, the post office called police and give a copy of his passport he had used. Loads of cases about disabled people scammed and trying to put pressure on police. What they didn't realise was that they could be jointly charged as they had committed fraud too. There are set groups that become victims and repeat victims - People lacking mental capacity, the only genuine victims as the rest agree to take part knowing the risks. People that are lonely and will do anything.to stay on the phone. People that are dishonest and think they are more clever than a scammer, but discover their dishonesty backfires. I see loads of victims and have even been to one of the bank fraud departments. One person called a victim., explained he had frozen the account due to fraud , give all the details and they just wouldn't accept it. This is happening all the time. If a customer Insists on ignoring advice and it is recorded, they do not just simply get a refund. It is their money they are wasting and not the banks.

  11. You're sounding quite desperate and she is a lying criminal scammer, a real expert in deception and fraud/theft.

  12. Jim, you do realise no one can see your sponsor as there is a plugin everyone is now using called SponsorBlock.

  13. Maybe some IT disruption is required...

  14. What makes me really sad is the amount of school children in India that said they wanted to work in IT and ended up in these scam call centres with the promise of earning good money. They all thought they would get real jobs. Many children's tv shows in the UK covered schools in India and education, if only they could go an interview those same children now they are adults.

  17. Some of your video is blocked to Brave Browser users that run SponsorBlock extension. It skips over adverts. I watched what you are advertising through affiliate schemes and looked at the product. It is no good for stopping scams via phone and only applies to USA as we do things very differently in the UK. Please don't go the same way as other ScamBusters that have started affiliate marketing for VPNs! They're the biggest privacy risk ever, glorified proxy servers in shared datacenters that log all your data, then sell it to people including scammers. You will lose your credibility instantly if you advertise products that only give a false sense of security. That company would not have protected anyone in any of your videos and you know this. I thought you were better than that Jim.

  18. I remember seeing part of a CBBC show about schools about 15yrs ago. They showed interviews with Indian children saying they wanted to leave universities and work in IT as that's where the money is. How sad most thought these scam call centres were proper IT jobs. Many were probably tricked in to tech support roles and continued the lie. They only exist as police are corrupt and IT companies facilitate the commission of criminal offences and will not block scammers traffic to the UK.

  19. You can't teach common sense. Unfortunately many people fall for scams as they are lacking mental capacity, or are dishonest and/or greedy. I have seen many victims. Many know it is a scam and just want to make money themselves, but get scammed as the scammers are in control.

  21. Thumbs down as we are not paying to see the full video. If you go behind a paywall, it will be disastrous to you.
