- I confront a Microsoft / Windows Support scammer after he has 'fixed' my PC. He claims not to be running a scam. I'll let you decide.

You can actually hear him typing,after you asked him what time it was lol
"fix your damn mic"😂
Some of them in the US have buddies back in India over chat apps to do their fake H-1B jobs in US.
Dawn Moser even i heared it
fuckin dumbass lmao
The number in the top right of your screen (0800 520 0769) is still a valid number and the scammers are answering if you call them now.
Scammers' first line of defence is often "you called us", which is completely irrelevant as to whether they're trying to cheat you or not.
I know..they display such low level, embarrassing reasoning skills..It's the ultimate irony how these dim-wits make their living out of deceiving people 🤦♂️
Considering they make the initial contact in order for you to phone them, I don't even know what the point of saying that even is. 😂🤣😂
to be fair there have been times where when I worked in a call centre I've said to customers trying to argue with me that they called me because they did. I used to work for a bank call centre and it was awful.
You're a legend. Seriously, I know that this is the scammer's job but they need to be stopped and you are doing a good job.
A couple of weeks ago i got called saying that due to their records I had been in an accident that wasn't my fault. (A very common scam) I went a long with it and told them, I was driving in my Lamborghini with my 4 year old son then we were in a car crash, then i went on to say that my 4 year old son fell out the window. Surprisingly they believed it but what makes it worse is that i'm only 13...
+Elliot Kelly Wow.. 13 and you already have a Lambo. Good work bro. Aswell as knocking someone up when you were 9. Such a pimp.
E
Lmao awesome
This is a pro gamer move.
I always ask them “which one?” Then say I have 4 claims current and there are 80 vehicles run from this location ..... some shit themselves other ..... you can hear the drool !!!
The answer is always the same when they're confronted: "I'm sorry?" Gives them time to process the question and extra time to think of an answer.
Lmaoo its cuz English is not their first language so we gotta struggle for a quick response...Im an Indian
@@ShashankB94 lol true
Makes me a bit satisfied for seeing them struggle and also for making them say sorry
Scammer: "We have removed the trojans"
Jim Browning: "Which trojans have you removed?"
Scammer: *Heavily sweating*
🐴
*inserts meme of the guy dabbing his brow with a rag as he sweats profusely*
[Indian accent] U kno, the trojan horses. U kno how the horse looks like, don't u?
Trojans? Have you not watch Troy where Sparta was besieged?
BloodHoundPL 🤣
Mr Browning - I have to tell you your videos have been invaluable to myself, my elder parents who have lately been getting phone calls and the elder community I work in. I've been raising awareness to any elder with a computer of any kind. Fortunately my parents are both on Mac's as well as myself so when they told my dad to run the windows key + R , he knew something was fishy. I have saved some of your videos to my own laptop to raise further awareness in the elder homes I work in. So the end result is your videos have raised awareness and are working!!! Many thanks from Ontario, Canada :) - In a previous response you sent me you mentioned mobile phones, and this will also be passed along. Thank you again :)
I'd be indebted to you if you would check out TOLL FREE 1-855-416-8304 , website is called 24/7 Online Computer Tech Support --- www.247techies.com ... Thank you in advance if you do check it out :)
nvm about this reply , I see it is a scam. This is a very current and relevant risk I see. It's awful.

@@JimBrowning your legend 🙌
He's an actor playing a tech support guy and he won't even break character when confronted. Amazing.
Come on man, they're a charter member of the Better Business Bureau, what's not to trust?
I'll tell you each and everything
+Jim Browning Jim and Hoax hotel, you guys are a gift to the world!!! 1 dislike? I guess the guy from "California" found this vid afterall!!!
+The Hoax Hotel You and Jim Browning should work together :)
+Jim Browning I disagree, you're both good in your own specific ways :D
+dologany Jim could expose them and then hoax can just bombard the shit out of em afterwards!!!
I find it strange how scammers are so insistent that they’re located in California as if scammers don’t exist anywhere else in the world.
Samantha Shahbozian and use f***in names like John Smith 🙄
It’s because Apple is in California and everyone all over the world knows that so they associate California with computers and tech!! Very sad really
@@richardadams6869 I associate California with Baywatch and fornication.
Mikey McMikeFace californication!!!
It's called "translocationism."
The fact that they continue to argue that they're providing a legitimate service, even AFTER they know you have exposed them, shows just how devoid of morals these people are. They deserve to have their time wasted, to be exposed, and more importantly, shut down! Great videos - keep exposing these scumbags.
its a little sad because scammers dont do this because they want to, they have to.
@619 OG Lol what? I'm pretty sure that not every single person in India is a scammer. Scammers just give their country a bad reputation.
@Estatic
They have to? Tha fuck?? You’ve lost your mind.
@619 OG that's like saying if I have a cut on my finger I should chop my entire arm off
@619 OG no it isn't.l, it's an amazing country. A few bad people are in it just like any other country. I've been there. Always felt safe, met amazing people, ate amazing food.
He definitely just googled something like "time in California", hahah
subbed!
Obviously, if he really lived there he would have said the time right away
Wow how'd you ever crack that one, Sherlock! 😑
The most stupid is: when they are based in california... why don't they put just their clocks on california time?
@@Kaarna5 Wtf is wrong with you?
he should’ve have had the time open just in case
I cant believe they stayed on the line that long.
And kept trying to answer your questions
Scammers are very unintelligent, especially this one.
Kolixan I don‘t think the scammer could‘ve actually said anything to better his situation.
Actually I think thet are really intelligent, but lack of morality, which is different.
@PΣЯFΣᄃƬ ЩӨЯᄂD A lot of scammers i've seen fall into two categories: incredibly intelligent but putting their efforts into stupid things like scams that only cause pain, or incredibly smoothbrained script fool who literally doesnt know anything but the script
@Vapor choo fucky nasshole!
He really ended it with "thank you for choosing".. But, you never did, you confronted him very well with facts, and he still actually believes you are buying his bait. That logic (or lack thereof) hurts my head.
It's kinda sad, but likely true.
Jim Browning Oh he knows full well he's a scammer. He, like many of his kind will deny concrete evidence cause they're illogical scumbags who have no sense of reasoning and therefore will do terrible things like scamming innocent people. Does it make sense? Heck no, but that's their twisted way of thinking.
I am amazed that the boss spent so much time talking and trying to convince you of his location and intent.
I think that all the talk about reporting Scammers to Police and such is taken with a grain of salt...everyone it seems is in on the business getting kick backs left right and center.
The more raids the more money in the pocket of the authorities who release the scammers so that they can go back and scam again, get caught again etc etc.
Jim: "...so be very careful about what you say in the next three minutes."
... two minutes later
Nadeem becomes careless about where he is on the planet.
Best troll troller I've ever seen. Hope you keep it up.
Jim: "show me _one_ Trojan that you've removed"
Scammer: ***pulls actual condom out of the USB port***
Being a retired Law Enforcement, I always hated seeing people getting scammed. I'm glad karma is real. Thanks Jim!
@Joseph schroeck
What is your evidence that karma is real?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 😁😁😁😁😁😁
@rit dhar
No evidence, eh? That’s what I thought.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 well, it comes down to the same old thing - belief.
I bet you too have felt the same thing.
@rit dhar
When I was young and dumb and gullible, yeah. I grew out of that though by around age 19.
when you asked him for the time in California you could hear him typing hahaha
....um, yes. That's *WHY* he asks that. But good job stepping in to play the role of Captain Obvious!
Hey Jamie alright no need to be a asshole to a year old comment
^necro-ing comments...sheesh
@@Hey_Jamie the original poster didn't miss the joke, he's just saying it's funny
@Foxy chill simp she won't suck u off
One of my favourite parts about these videos is when Jim asks the scammer the time and they always reply with “wait a minute” and then the sound of furious keyboard smashing.
whats the time?
...
...
(keyboard clicks in background)
Am or PM?
@@iancrossley6637 lol
One thing I have to ask. When they tell you that they are Microsoft Certified why don't you ask them for their certification number. A real certified tech would gladly give you the number and wait while you check with Microsoft to verify that the tech is Microsoft certified. I've worked for many computer companies that deal with certified techs and we always asked for the number to verify the validity.
I am just wondering what you think this would do .. All they have to do is 1 .. make up a number or 2 .. acquire a Valid number from a REAL certified tech because according to you a real tech would simply provide their number so it would be no secret ... and then everyone in India / / would use that ' Valid ' Id as their ID and they would all become legit in your eyes because they had a number that says they are certified.... Maybe you realized how silly that was after you typed it out.
there is no such thing. that's why
You must admire that guy for his 100% resilience and persistent denial against everything you could throw against him. He would not depart from his script by a single word. He even thanked you at the end for calling. Being plainly caught out by an obvious expert you would think he would have gone to pieces, got angry, or at least put the phone down, but no, he was never going to give it up.
I like checking their URL's to see if they still exist and when you get a page not found error it's like a small victory. Nice work Jim!
they just switched URLs sadly they are still active and never will actually get shutdown
Someone pulls out a gun in a jewelry store and shouts: "This is NOT a robbery! Now hand over the gold so we can clean up your store!"
Seems totally legit.
best analogy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙃😎😎😎
Someone should do that
this is by far, the best scam bait video I've seen on YT.. Entertaining and informative at the same time. You deserve way more subs and keep on doing this..
I can listen to this man the whole day and night. The calmness of his voice. Even he was talking to a notorious Scammer.. Amazing how he chased the Scammers. You are a truely legend.. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏Bless you more for doing this. Helping all the people to stop being a scamm is amazing.. 🛑🛑❤️❤️❤️
pls do more of these exposed videos. so much fun to watch man
Did not expect to stumble upon a Ranton comment 😂 I enjoyz it
Rantoni baloney what are you doing here
Never thought I'd see Rantoni Megalodoni on a Jim Browning video
totally agree. Ive been looking for more of them from him but there doent appear to be many
Reminds me of Shaggy “It wasn’t me” ... ludicrous
Man got busted and still insisting it's not a scam… Just like me stripping naked walking into a maul and insisting that I'm wearing clothes…
+Sean Flanagan head first! and it hurts :(
Murad Kacar
(i will argue about anything with anyone) i see the line of reasoning he is coming from. its not a scam because he is providing tech support. not a removal service. his job isn't to remove any backdoors or viruses. it is simply to support you through this hard, scary situation. just because you are ignorant to what is happening around you doesn't mean they are not providing you with services they said they would. like with everythng. it comes down to loop holes in the english language
sarahgirl369 I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the scam. There are no problems with his computer -- there never were. The scammers pay for these ridiculous popups to trick you into paying for phony "tech support" to a made-up problem.
A 20lb maul or 16lb maul? Either way, that would hurt!
It would be worse to be confronted by Jim's disappointed voice than someone yelling and cursing at you.
I love this channel!!!
“city of California”
Your tone of voice kills me man, lethal.
"Tumbleweed sound effect!!!!??" That combination of the silence and the "sound effect" couldn't stop laughing man!!!
I should buy the "tree" antivirus! Very Good! Do the work. Yes Good. hahahahah.
"Thank you for choosing >Scammers in Mumbai
"We removed ALL the trojans. Like, so many of them"
I'm amazed how he keeps trying to convince u. Like why they simple dont turn out the phone?? He already lost
Because he’s dumb
To satisfy their ego at the end of the day after failing terribly
I'm Indian and please believe me that we are not all like this, we are actually good honest people minus these morons who give us a very bad reputation. Please don't think we are all like this. These scammers make me feel embarrassed and angry!!!
People in India near these call centers should confront them. If they were local, we would.
Ion Ymous
those scammers are scumbags
Every person with a normal mindset should know that, you can't generalize an entire land just because some idiots like those scammers live there
Jim Browning good job on taking on those scammers
those scammers need a taste of their own medicine.
I highly doubt this guy likes his job. For some people in the world it's either this or you don't eat tonight.
you do a service to us all, I think that's the right expression
Jim- What time is it in California
Scammer- wait a moment *proceeds to Google the time in California*
They removed Trojan horses from your computer!
Yes. However, that's really a misnomer, since it was a Greek horse in Troy...
More like minotaurs
Who is the Greeks in this picture?
Sometimes I think my audio is broken ..... but I look at my phone and see JB just scared the voice out of a scammer 😂
i just stumbled across your channel and this old video of yours and i have to say that i'm blown away by your awesome work. The plain hilarity of these conversations more than compensates for not being abled to stop scamming. keep this up, we love it all.
cheers
Your presentations are addictive viewing.
"Trojan horses" he said. Riotous. Well done Jim. Love your videos.
You're too patient and relaxed with these scammers, I wanna hear you make them quiver like the video where you had a scammer's whole I.d and personal details.
What I love about these videos you've been doing is to open our eyes to how devious these scammers are but, and it's a big BUT, they're clever enough to entrap the innocent but they're also quick to learn from your questions to them. I wonder if it's best to just mention certain actions but keep some info to your self??.... I know you want to expose these barstewards and I would love for you to hack into their machines (though it's an illegal act to do so ((unless you get their permission one way or other)) ) and copy all their files, their exact location, their bosses etc and display them to every police department around the world..... I live in hope they get caught and made to pay for their actions and refund everyone who got caught...
I really appreciate what you've done here Jim. Thank you.
All the best 👍🏼🏆
+Marc Holloway Yes, it is illegal to hack. However, what will they do about it? Nothing. Someone ought to write a worm, hydra or something that'll kill all the nodes on their network.

I just discovered not only your channel, but this entire genre of content. I'm hooked.
I’ve literally been watching these videos most of the day, I can’t get enough!
I love your videos! You're so calm when speaking with them also. :)
You messed with this guy for three hours...you are officially being promoted to Grand Admiral.
My wife and me want to tell you that we are a big fan of your style, how you patiently talk politely to these sleaky people. We have contributed to your paypal account, as we would like to support your work. Thanks a lot. Keep up the good work !!!! :D
Exposed them so much fun to watch as well just started watching you little bit week ago, because that accent man was trying scam me on my cell watching you really help look out for
You are the voice of reason, yet it just doesn't faze them....I look forward to "each and everything" you do to stop these scammers.
I'm pretty sure he just typed California time in Google
That's a old comet
I like the colourful picture at the start. I used to have it as my desktop background on one of my phones. I think I got it from Zedge.
Jim I like your exposing scammers and how you really challenge them. It actually surprises me that they don't give up and admit their scam. It also saddens me to know that so many people still fall into a scammers trap.
Keep up the good work and hopefully more people can be made aware.
Love how calm you remain when calling them out
Thank you for all the information videos you do, Excellent helps us all understand scammers and how they operate. Greetings from Cornwall UK..
Watching your other excellent videos - I'm not tech minded so these videos are brilliant for me, you explain everything so well. I will be watching more as I have just come across your channel, I have subscribed. Thank you for all you do - well worth it. You are a brilliant Sherlock Holmes.
I am a Cornisman too Penzance Cornwall and my family and I love your work.God's work here!
@jim Browning. pls remembrr indian is 75% hindu. they believe in karma and that that karma is dependent on what they will REINCARNATE to be after "they die". Mention this! tell them they are damming themselves and thier families! pls it would be humorous for sure and hard hitting!
Jim Browning Lab rat :p
i guest im one of the rest
im christian
and meh
idc about religion
Jim Browning yeah but in their culture I’m let to believe it could have an effect since they believe it.
LOL That's like telling Americans to not bomb anyone 'cos Jesus told them to turn the other cheek. Criminals are criminals, they cannot be reasoned with. Catch them and put them in jail.
@My Secret Account Citation needed.
Please make more of these, I very much love your channel and the Indian scammer locating/confronting.
I love Jim's voice. So soothing.
These scammers are hilarious, they know absolutely nothing about IT. All they do is repeat a scripted sequence. Nice work Jim !
They want you to pay for 5 year tech support? The so called legit company may not even exist in 5 years. Please folks, even if it isn't a scam, why pay for this?
These videos are so good! I can't stop watching them. Haha. Well done, Jim.
Thank you again - from the USA - for doing what you do. I know when a call is a scammer. But I also know that there are many people who don’t know. You are truly a hero (among a few others Kitboga, Trilogy Media, ScammerRevolts) Thank you again
The funniest part was him asking what time it was and telling him he was going to look it up. You can literally hear him typing in the background. Lol
Liam Neeson ain't got shit on you bro.
Love your content. Cheers from Texas.
That;s a good idea. Tell Liam his daughter is at a scammer house

in a world of hurt.
@@iancrossley6637 The number in the top right of your screen (0800 520 0769) is still a valid number and the scammers are answering if you call them now.
I love your vids, man! You are so calm when you "anti-scam" them!
But could you show how you do everything?
LOVE YOU!
Much love Jim
you are incredible
..all the downvotes you get in your videos must be from scammers themselves
you are one of the greatest people in the world because of these pieces of justice you perform.
Yay! A new video! I love it when you post.
This is hilarious. Saw that the people in Kolkata got busted. Great work!
Love how they keep going back to their standard lines without being able to answer the questions
Good job mate, you're the best! Keep em coming, i've been having so much fun watching your videos! :) You should make some really annoying virus and find a way to infect the scammers computer with it while they are trying to infect yours.
I love these videos dude , they always make me laugh

This guy asks tougher questions than our viva exams. 😂
He deadass pounded on his keyboard loud enough to hear after you asked what time it is
I love to treasure hunt for Jim Browning scam calls. Jim is a hero to us seasoned citizens. My hunt will continue because the reward is an outstanding product! Thank you as airways Jim. I'm going to find a way to support your efforts. And thank you for not using foul language that is riddled with other scam baiters
You can hear the scammer's voice breaking towards the end
He’s like “thankyou for using Vsupport and then Jim says “thankyou for choosing scammers in Mumbai” lol
you have an unbelievable amount of patience talking to these guys for so long
these are by far the most satisfying videos ever!
At least someone is taking action! All the way vigilante!
For some reason i hope that i get called by a callcenter like this, i'd love it to play around with them and annoy them for as long as possible. 😂
By far one the most savage vids I have seen. Thank you.
Jim we are not all as savvy as you are with the technical side of things so unfortunately we, (myself included) are the ones that are going to get caught if we are not on the ball.
Keep on doing what you do best. Cheers from Perth Australia.
I love your fox or wolf background, Jim : D
Great vid Jim! In the next video, could you increase the scammers voice volume? I had trouble hearing it...
Love your work. Been watching your vids. Keep up the good work
Keep posting up these scammers info :D . Keep up the Good work
This is so much fun to watch. xD keep it up !
Never use my youtube account but recovered my password just to subscribe to your channel.
"Like let me explain it to you... there were Trojan Horses in it." How deceptively prophylactic of him.
Let explain you..let me explain you..lolololol
I got called from one of these centres trying to sell me "death insurance". I don't know about there, but here we call it "life insurance" so I was immediately tipped off. I told them it they were too late because I was already dead. They of course didn't believe me, but I kept up insisting that I was, and the eventually gave up. It was fun wasting their time and delaying them from scamming other people. 🤣
I got a phone call from these guys they called themselves ITAssist and I didn't fall for their crap and called them out. I lead them on for 10 mins then asked them if they would talk to my cousin police inspector so and so PSNI computer fraud branch they hung up lol Thankyou for all you do jim
