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.

@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.

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.
