The worst part is that no cop in India will do anything about it, places like Kolkata and Uttar Pradesh are the most corrupt ones. The goverment or the authorities are the worst here, even when someone reports such issues the cops are like "Foreigners steal from us everyday, let us do the same to them" completely ignoring the fact that these scammers are destroying elderly peoples lives
The reason for police inaction is very simple. These scam deals are raking in big money in foreign exchange and contributing towards India's GDP. Of course the cops get a cut from the sales that these scammers make, but the govt not putting pressure on the cops is because of the reason I just explained.
You got that right. I from the Caribbean and wrote many emails to lndia and no response l was scammed with the name David Luis of India all monies were sent to him through money gram with the name David Luis of India many comments I made and the entire lndia saw it and no one ever messaged me they can help me investigate .
Before exposing yourself and inform the scammer that you “got him” support the older man in getting his accounts together and regaining control of his life, then the scammer will slowly realise he got kicked out of all the places
You do know that most people can't get their money back and even if they are able usually it traumatizes them so much they don't know who to trust or talk to
Exactly, how can they be so stupid... I understand there's much more behind the scenes, but just because you want a bit more views and exposed the scammer, think about the repercussions that man might have been through. The scammer, if he does have 3 or 4 cards, will just go to an ATM and get all the money out. This is fucking stupid, I'm sorry, I love you guys, you've made me so emotional in several videos, but this is just stupid and I'm angry, what a fucking joke.
This just made me sad and sick to my stomach when my identity was stolen by a scammer they took out a $25,000 loan in my name it just ruined my life I still have trouble with my credit to this day it caused me to have severe depression my heart goes out to the victims and trilogy media u are all angels and please ash and art and Shawn please please stay safe l love u all and I’m so proud to be a trilogy media member xxxxx
Sorry to hear that. I think there really needs to be very severe penalties for people convicted of scamming. Some people have and will continue to kill themselves because of this sort of thing. Just pure evil, how some individuals have no interest in another person apart from wanting to steal their money or identity or both. I often have scammers contacting me on WhatsApp, the "sha zhu pan" , Chinese "pig butchering" romance/investment scam. Apparently in some cities there are entire floors of office buildings and "managers" and people get paid a commission according to how much they can scam someone.
So sorry to hear. I had my identity stolen as well, but luckily I had already signed up for credit monitoring so the second they opened 2 credit cards in my name, I was notified. I then called the banks immediately and had those cards cancelled. I then called the credit bureaus and told them to put fraud alerts on my credit report so that if anyone ever tries to open credit in my name, they need to call me immediately to verify that it's me applying for the credit. The banks closed down those 2 fraudulent cards and I haven't had any issues since then. You need to be proactive about it, because if you end up being reactive, it will be too late.

It's not my place to judge if this man is guilty or not. But scammers are getting better at manipulating people and it is so scary. Thanks for all you do Art & Ashton. Loved the video.
Elderly or not, surely nobody thinks that opening tin foiled *books* full of money and sending it on, is a totally normal thing to do. Obviously they know what they're doing, jebus.
There’s also an element of Stockholm syndrome at play in all this as well. Listen to the language Ankeet used. My brother, depressed etc. Totally designed to ensure kinship & elicit sympathy for his position. It’s sick and disgusting. They play on the simple fact that a lot of older people are less cynical, less technologically savvy & basically have kinder hearts. These people crush the life out of all their victims, including the middle man, without any compassion or second thought. I see these and often start out thinking cynically. But then I think about how rubbish my dad was with anything technical, how kind and trusting my grandparents were. It could so easily be one of them. Ok. Well, maybe not my dad. He was a copper for 40 years and always told me that if you are asked to pay out for something first, it’s probably not legit. I’m suspicious in nature because of him raising me to be wise to the world,. Thankfully. I get tonnes of UPS emails asking me to pay an excess fee blah blah. No one I’ve ever transacted with has been given my email. So that’s a neat trick. And I always click on to find the actual email it comes from. Usually an aol. Block them and they still keep coming. I’ve replied a few times asking where has the package come from. How did they get my email. Why aren’t they contacting me from the office system or during office hours???? Strangely I never get a reply, which is a let down. One day I hope for a fun exchange. Anyway. From this darkness I wish you all light and love. 🕯♥️
I’m sorry but people are fucking stupid, if you fall for this shit it’s a shame…. I’m not gonna say anyone deserves it, but they definitely need to smarten up …
That made me sick to my stomach when I seen that old man holding that wrapped package up to the WebCam. Disgusting. I wanted to cry. Were you guys able to help him at all? Trilogy media and Jaani thank you for everything that you guys do! Sending you lots from Philadelphia. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Damn y’all, this man knew he was a mule and knew what was going on. What he did not know, that he was getting scammed by the scammer. He thought they were business partners.
Regardless it was very apparent that he was under duress. If the scammer had used his identity to open up accounts and such in his name. He was being extorted. Doesn’t make him innocent, but also doesn’t make him fully complicit either.
The mules all try to not send a picture due to some technical problem. And when asked about they money they say to the person on the phone "I don't feel good about it"
They got him for about $20,000 in the past. Next they offer him an opportunity to manage investor money for some business. He figures it's a way to recoup some of his loss, since he's a little too old to get a job. It happens to innocent people every day. And if they're older, they don't usually ask as many questions.
These scammers piss me off. I can’t stand what they are doing to the victims on both sides. I felt so sorry for Tommy being manipulated and scammed by that scum bag. You guys are doing great work helping all of the victims out of these problems.
SHAME ON TRILOGY MEDIA! They wanted this stupid video of them confronting the scammer of India they didn't even think about hurting the victim worse! He said the guy has access to his bank accounts and took out credit cards and you didn't make sure he got his accounts closed before you filmed you confronting the scammer? You really needed that video of you saying F you to scammer that they didn't even think about what further impact this guy could do to the victim. They didn't seem to care! They just wanted to get their video and get home and didn't care about the consequences! This was amateur hour and they shouldn't be doing this if they are going to further endanger the victim!
Please report all this people, the damage they cause to the victims is unheard, I attended suicide cases from people who were scammed it is so frustrating.
You guys just saved this guy from being put in jail himself. It is utterly blood boiling disgusting to see how these creeps just prey on elderly people and manipulate them into being mules! Imagine if there was no Trilogy Media! This poor man would be in jail with no help whatsoever!! God bless you guys!!
SHAME ON TRILOGY MEDIA! I was so mad after watching this video! Why didn't they help the victim freeze his accounts, credit and contact law enforcement before they confronted the scammer?? They seriously could have put the victim in even a worse situation. Then they just left, patted each other on the back, and left the elderly victim to figure it out on his own! This was a real scumbag move by Trilogy Media!
The change in this mans attitude from “im done” to the end of the video was monumental. He was ready to shut the door and ended up joining the team, such a great man and educational victim
I would go with placing an extended fraud alert on file too, which can only be done after reporting the crime to the FTC. But by doing this the victim will get a free copy of their report immediately and again every 6 months that they should check carefully and dispute any existing or new entries they do not recognise. Additionally this will alert any bank doing a hard search on their file that they were recently a victim of identity theft and trigger enhanced identity checks if anyone attempts to apply for credit in their name. This will have the side effect of adding some extra hoops to jump through to apply for credit legitimately for up to 7 years but should make it harder for the scammers to trick banks into believing they are the victim. It also doesn't look particularly great to potential lenders unfortunately but then neither does having a bunch of notices of correction which isn't explained by for example a fraud alert or similar.
While in Singapore, the police arrested and investigated more than 7,000 scammers and money mules (aged between 16 and 71) last year. Some of them were believed to have rented out their bank accounts to scammers or assisted them by carrying out bank transfers and withdrawals. These are for offenses such as cheating, money laundering, or providing payment services without a license and those found guilty of money laundering can be jailed for up to 10 years, fined up to $500,000, or both. I am glad that the law enforcement and authority here take a serious stance on cases involving scams.
I'm glad that communication between Thomy and you guys were clear and better than before for the elderly. Poor guy, the scammer ruined his credit score and his finances... kudos!
Everyone disgusted by old people being scammed then victim blame when an old person is brainwashed and manipulated into being a mule. The guy literally starts trying to manipulate the old man again when he thinks TM have left
From the UK I have to say that you and your team have done a fantastic job there again. Jaani is s brilliant asset to you team. Because he has had the experience of being on the other side of things and the fact that he is in India and has the accent he can really infiltrate much better than someone pretending to be Indian. He can sound so much more convincing when speaking to the real scammer bosses and has the gift of getting the information he needs to help catch these guys. I am glad he got out of the scamming and is now working for you guys to do some great work in helping expose these awful scammers - well done to him and you quys for helping him get on the right side of things. He is getting quite well known now. It was sickening seeing the video of the man wrapping the cash near the start of this video. I hope the man that was used as a money mule managed to get everything sorted out and didn't loose any more money.
I know the neighborhood, well. ...elderly man, living in a nice upscale neighborhood of Sacto, writing w/ an expensive pen, readily admitting to expecting a package of raw cash. Yeah... like right. Who is going to believe he didn't know anything about it or wasn't in on it? Pulleeze !!!
Oh, I see how this goes! He has a victim he scammed for, say $20,000. He contacts the victim and has them agree to work as a mule in order to "pay him back" and only pays them pennies on the dollar so that they will never be able to pay him back and will have to keep working for him.
100% he played victim as soon as they gave him the option. didn't give the "all clear" response when prompted. Even the brother seemed to be surprised they weren't both leaving in handcuffs. hard to see things clearly when you're in the thick of it, but these guys were definitely partners and not victims.
He knew it was money, and he was getting a cut. It is possible that he didn't know that he, too, was a victim... OR he did know and was covering his ass to get away from a crime. Thanks Ash & Art for all you do. Stay safe. 💕
Great work Team Trilogy Media! I feel bad about how innocent people are being victimized and put through hell by these scammers from my homeland. I share your videos among friends and family here in US and back in India so that people are aware of scams. I am a part of this fight against the scammers. Thank you Ashton and Art. More power to you guys!!
During the last phone call the scammer told the mule "I was depressed yesterday, thinking it's a fake victim". That shows that the mule knew exactly what they're doing.
This this right here is why I’m damn proud to be a part of your squad. Excellent job guys. You have hearts of gold. Bravo Janni, keep up the great work brother.
Why did the guys at Trilogy media not help the guy to freeze his accounts and credit before confronting the scammer? Why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? It seemed like they just wanted video of them saying F you to the scammer than left victim to deal with the consequences. Also why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? This was extremely sloppy work and from what he was saying probably endangered the victim even worse! There is a reason these victims get scammed and it's because they don't understand what to do and need someone who will help them. Trilogy Media didn't seem interested at all with helping him, just getting video of them calling the scammer names!
It’s very advisable to go to the SSA and report the SSN as stolen, also get a credit report and it will show each and all accounts open; active or inactive, and make a report as I’d theft.
Best video yet! I'm so proud of you all. I hope you stick with this man like you did Rona, and that as a community we can help him get back on his feet. Thank you for everything you do for these people. Special thanks for Jaani bc I know he's putting his life in major jeopardy doing what he does. Love you, Trilogy Media!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This guy needs to go the FBI, but something is off... his mother died and he "lost the house" so now he lives with his brother? He's retired but he was living rent free with his mother? And now he's afraid of his brother? This is just so bizarre.
You know the saddest part of this whole story was that this poor man was more scared of his own brother finding out about him being scammed. If he could just understand that it could happen to damn near anyone including a young person.
It really makes me mad when the call center boss said that he doesn't like doing refund scams because "customers used to die." The boss want scams that he can use on the same customer over and over, and since many of their victims are older, they want to do scams that get them the most bang for the buck. That was not something I expected coming from him, even if he is a scammer. Just wow.
I think you guys could’ve helped him a little more or at least set him up with someone who can prevent any further damage. Glad the brother got involved and is going to help. Great video!
This is unfortunate for that poor guy being used as a money mule and I pray that he gets everything taken care of. I feel badly for him and it hurts to see him stuck in a situation like that. Good work Jaani and Trilogy Media for exposing scams like this. It’s a slow process but it’s another victim saved. Thank you for what you do. 💜💜💜💜💜
Thank you for what you do because a scammer got my mother to send her whole social security check to him for months . We had to sell her home to get her out of debt. So thank you for saving others! God bless you
I am glad where their heart is in but this was a horrible thing they did to the old man! If they cared about the victim they would have made sure his accounts were closed out, credit frozen, and law enforcement contacted before they confronted the scammer. The guy said he has access to his accounts and opened up credit cards and other accounts in his name. instead of doing the right thing they just pushed to get a video of them saying F you to the scammer and then left and let him deal with the consequences. Trilogy Media screwed up big time here and need to help victims, not put them in more risk!
Gentlemen - you are absolute heroes! I remember when you first started as scam baiters, having a lot of fun wasting their time with word games and lots of laughter. Now you have lifted you game to a whole new level helping victims and working for justice. Well done gents. I pray for your safety. Go well and God bless.
This is one of the times I believe the FBI would have been better showing up. They could have at least shut down all of his account before alerting the scammer.
The old geezer says some random "investor" sends him cash in an envelop. He also confidently states his company builds websites and is in the "spice" business. I am pretty sure the victims have sent money to his bank(s) too and he knows that but did not disclose it to Trilogy. They missed that. That should have been explored!
I have only just this minute started viewing another of your great videos and I am already tearful. Seeing the vulnerable old man being told / ordered what to do with the packing up of his own life savings is very heartbreaking, along with watching him walk off doubled over (obvious mobility issues) to do just what they told him to do, and like you say, they are laughing at him. I have said this before, these shite's are sadistic, every one of them enjoys the pain they inflict on these elderly victims :-( The IRS scams sum them up as sadists because even when they know they are on a lost cause, they will carry on further by saying the Police Chief etc will be at your door in five minutes. Once they know they have "lost" there really is no point carrying on, they might as well just hang up, but their aim now is to cause further pain :-( Back to viewing and I hope you continue your worthy cause for years to come. Love from the UK xx
I love seeing you guys help stop these criminals. They don't care who they hurt. It makes me sick to see how the take advantage of older and elderly people.
Love this video guys! Haven't been able to catch you in y'all's live stream @Trilogy Media recently but when we can. We're be there! Awesome work y'all!
I am 37 yrs old and got a Medicare call today. They asked me if I received my new Medicare card. I asked why would I have a Medicare card. The guy had a thick Indian accent, and replied because I'm at the right age. I asked him if he knew who I was, he replied yes and gave me some lady's name and told me I was apparently 78 years old. I laughed and said "you contact my grandmother again I will be taking my phone to the fbi and having you tracked or I will contact scambaiters and have them handle it." He gasped and hung up on me. I didn't mention names of which scambaiters. I usually play with the scammers. But am having a bad day today and was not in the mood for some foolish b.s with them.
@@Duddylee yeah he knew what was happening, eventually, he went in to it thinking this sounds alright, then would’ve realised and if his story is true, with credit rating and all that, he would be scared for his life
Where are you guys. I haven't received any notifications, no livestreams and who is trilogy highlights? Just want to know is anyone experiencing this as well?
Another awesome video. Janani is an amazing person who I have the highest admiration for. And you guys do the most amazing life changing work. Thank you for all you do. Much love and respect from Down Under
When “tommy” heard the audio of ankit saying he had done business with him for 9 yrs he seemed to me (in my own not expert opinion) that he may be aware of what’s going on and is guilty of money laundering. He wanted to just back away and escape the situation. This guy then says he lives with his brother and has bad credit, so maybe he is desperate to get money and decided to get into this to help his situation, and it was really a bad move.
Wow all I can say is wow 😮 this sh*t is unbelievable. I feel so sorry for this man. If the scammers has all of his information he is screwed. You guys are amazing and I thank God that we have you. That’s why I will continue to be a member and donate more often. I love my tee shirt. Thank you so much for all you do ❤
You say this old guy is screwed and then go on to say how amazing trilogy media is but they rather get a drama shot for their video then actually do the smart thing and help this man close said accounts. If the guy was telling the truth then TM would of selfishly blown the whole thing for him but doesn't matter because this old guy is in on the scam
SHAME ON YOU TRILOGY MEDIA! Honestly they probably did more harm than good. Why didn't they help the elderly man freeze his accounts and credit before confronting the scammer? Why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? They just wanted video of them saying F you to the scammer and then left, leaving the victim very screwed! Honestly Trilogy Media just wanted their video footage of them yelling at a scammer and seem to not care at all about the victim!
Scammers piss me off what they do to the victims. Feel bad for this guy. Amazing how someone can lie so much and do not have any remorse about it. Thank goodness for the legend Barbosa and Trilogy Media. Making the big difference and taking the world by a storm! Keep up the great work
Feel sorry for this guy, really. He's totally part of it all and knows exactly what he's at. He should be exposed and arrested. Don't be gullible. Receiving cash in the post. Both these guys know exactly what is going on.
@@user-zm8xt4ff9b if what he was saying is true, he was conned into thinking he was apart of a legitimate business deal with someone. If that is the case then hes just as much a victim. Not only that its him will suffer when things go wrong. The scammers are good at making people believe what they are saying is true. Thankfully thiers people out thier like these guys who bring awareness how the scammers operate. And the tactics they use.
Another amazing video and one amazing job from Trilogy Media and Janni shoutout to you guys sorry missed the premiere I am watching it now can’t believe what I am watching that is one insane and amazing things you guys did for the victim you guys are the best and really enjoy these premieres you guys do you guys are true OG legends keep up the amazing work on RUclips sending much love and respect coming your way seriously you guys deserve it a lot 🔥😁🥂😎👏🤩👍✊❤️🤟😱
Ashton and Art guys you're exceptionally Outstanding work you're doing, to helping people's who got scammed and feeling helpless until you guys reached those pathetic human beings.. very best wishes for you and the entire team of trilogy media..
Again another amazing job and Video from TM and Barbosa! Saving another victim is awesome. I hope T-man gets all the help to get back to normal. Many blessing to all and can't wait for the update to this video in the future.
You guys are amazing as always! ❤ My heart breaks for this poor man. All he cared about is how he brother would view him-that hurts. Cuts deep. Praying for him. 🙏
Do these scammers not know that even when you delete something from your phone that law enforcement has ways to retrieve deleted data? They may be good manipulators but they are definitely not smart when it comes to the law. They think right away delete and run but it doesn't work like that with advances in technology, phone companies track everything and have record as well aa google and cloud. Those random apps everyone hates are what keeps record of all the things you do. One day this will all come to an end. Love you guys and send Jaani my love and support!
Have the old man pull his credit reports and then begin closing all accounts he's not aware of.. that's how you fix your credit... and file identity theft

If a victim contacts the credit bureaus they can see accounts open in their name. This man should start there.

Damn y’all, this man knew he was a mule and knew what was going on. What he did not know, that he was getting scammed by the scammer. He thought they were business partners.
Agreed
@teflontelefon Exactly he sounds just as bad as the scammer.
Thanks!
He is complicit. This guy hesitated so much in saying Trilogy Media is not present anymore, trying to signal the guy on the other end
The line of questioning lead him to be a victim. 100% this man knew what he was doing.
Regardless it was very apparent that he was under duress. If the scammer had used his identity to open up accounts and such in his name. He was being extorted. Doesn’t make him innocent, but also doesn’t make him fully complicit either.
Old people are scammers too. That old man knows exactly what he’s doing. He’s just hoping you don’t expose him to the government.
Yeah not sure I buy all this. He sounds like he is covering so he distances himself from the scammer. After all he is getting a cut of the scam.
Thank you someone saying the right thing like 2 years of not knowing what’s going on… is beyond me
The mules all try to not send a picture due to some technical problem. And when asked about they money they say to the person on the phone "I don't feel good about it"
They got him for about $20,000 in the past. Next they offer him an opportunity to manage investor money for some business. He figures it's a way to recoup some of his loss, since he's a little too old to get a job. It happens to innocent people every day. And if they're older, they don't usually ask as many questions.
Trilogy rocks, yoga, awesome people keep busting the scammers
These scammers piss me off. I can’t stand what they are doing to the victims on both sides.
I felt so sorry for Tommy being manipulated and scammed by that scum bag.
You guys are doing great work helping all of the victims out of these problems.
SHAME ON TRILOGY MEDIA! They wanted this stupid video of them confronting the scammer of India they didn't even think about hurting the victim worse! He said the guy has access to his bank accounts and took out credit cards and you didn't make sure he got his accounts closed before you filmed you confronting the scammer? You really needed that video of you saying F you to scammer that they didn't even think about what further impact this guy could do to the victim. They didn't seem to care! They just wanted to get their video and get home and didn't care about the consequences! This was amateur hour and they shouldn't be doing this if they are going to further endanger the victim!
Please report all this people, the damage they cause to the victims is unheard, I attended suicide cases from people who were scammed it is so frustrating.
You guys just saved this guy from being put in jail himself. It is utterly blood boiling disgusting to see how these creeps just prey on elderly people and manipulate them into being mules! Imagine if there was no Trilogy Media! This poor man would be in jail with no help whatsoever!! God bless you guys!!
Huge hugs 💝💝
Lmao that old dude played them hard , now they probably got him off the hook lol that old man definitely knew the entire thing is a scam
SHAME ON TRILOGY MEDIA! I was so mad after watching this video! Why didn't they help the victim freeze his accounts, credit and contact law enforcement before they confronted the scammer?? They seriously could have put the victim in even a worse situation. Then they just left, patted each other on the back, and left the elderly victim to figure it out on his own! This was a real scumbag move by Trilogy Media!
This is really heartbreaking to watch. How can someone send cash in books. It’s sad to see these people being scammed
The change in this mans attitude from “im done” to the end of the video was monumental. He was ready to shut the door and ended up joining the team, such a great man and educational victim
Man Johnny is such a good guy. Just helping you guys out for months now and getting absolutely nothing out of it other than doing the right thing
He needs to pull his credit report and dispute EACH & EVERY THING
Except that he’s in it up to his neck .
I would go with placing an extended fraud alert on file too, which can only be done after reporting the crime to the FTC. But by doing this the victim will get a free copy of their report immediately and again every 6 months that they should check carefully and dispute any existing or new entries they do not recognise. Additionally this will alert any bank doing a hard search on their file that they were recently a victim of identity theft and trigger enhanced identity checks if anyone attempts to apply for credit in their name. This will have the side effect of adding some extra hoops to jump through to apply for credit legitimately for up to 7 years but should make it harder for the scammers to trick banks into believing they are the victim. It also doesn't look particularly great to potential lenders unfortunately but then neither does having a bunch of notices of correction which isn't explained by for example a fraud alert or similar.
That old man knew exactly what he was doing. He lied from the start.
While in Singapore, the police arrested and investigated more than 7,000 scammers and money mules (aged between 16 and 71) last year. Some of them were believed to have rented out their bank accounts to scammers or assisted them by carrying out bank transfers and withdrawals. These are for offenses such as cheating, money laundering, or providing payment services without a license and those found guilty of money laundering can be jailed for up to 10 years, fined up to $500,000, or both. I am glad that the law enforcement and authority here take a serious stance on cases involving scams.
I'm glad that communication between Thomy and you guys were clear and better than before for the elderly. Poor guy, the scammer ruined his credit score and his finances... kudos!
This is just heartbreaking to watch. I do wonder how many of these people just play dumb and make you think they don’t know what’s happening.
It kills me how they refer to the victims as customers. Keep up the good work Trilogy Media ❤️❌⭕
Everyone disgusted by old people being scammed then victim blame when an old person is brainwashed and manipulated into being a mule. The guy literally starts trying to manipulate the old man again when he thinks TM have left
From the UK I have to say that you and your team have done a fantastic job there again. Jaani is s brilliant asset to you team. Because he has had the experience of being on the other side of things and the fact that he is in India and has the accent he can really infiltrate much better than someone pretending to be Indian. He can sound so much more convincing when speaking to the real scammer bosses and has the gift of getting the information he needs to help catch these guys. I am glad he got out of the scamming and is now working for you guys to do some great work in helping expose these awful scammers - well done to him and you quys for helping him get on the right side of things. He is getting quite well known now. It was sickening seeing the video of the man wrapping the cash near the start of this video. I hope the man that was used as a money mule managed to get everything sorted out and didn't loose any more money.
I know the neighborhood, well.
...elderly man, living in a nice upscale neighborhood of Sacto, writing w/ an expensive pen, readily admitting to expecting a package of raw cash.
Yeah... like right. Who is going to believe he didn't know anything about it or wasn't in on it? Pulleeze !!!
😭😭 How can someone be that evil . I want to hug that poor man 😫😫
Oh, I see how this goes! He has a victim he scammed for, say $20,000. He contacts the victim and has them agree to work as a mule in order to "pay him back" and only pays them pennies on the dollar so that they will never be able to pay him back and will have to keep working for him.
The scammer is stealing from the old guy and then paying him his cut out of his own money!!!!
Tommy obviously knows what's going on..he knew there was no online business. LOL
Agreed. He was playing dumb. I uhhh lost 3-4 thousand. Well actually it was more like 20 thousand….
This is so so sad. I hope the police get involved
You guys talk over each other too much. I like your video but try and be more polite!! Stop talking over each other, and stop using vulgar words
I have to throw this in there. You guys are driving a beat up car. Good cover. Great job. Please keep up the work
@@mclovinlife4018 Exactly,, suddenly jumped from 3-4 to 20k... duhh!!!
You guys are so nice to help that man
No way this guy didn't know what he was doing. He was so compliant because he knew he was caught. I call BS on this old man.
This old man 100000% knows what he is doing an he could care less.
He’s in it up to his neck. He can’t call him back ? BS !
When they played the audio, the way he didn't even care to hear it was very telling.
100%
he played victim as soon as they gave him the option. didn't give the "all clear" response when prompted. Even the brother seemed to be surprised they weren't both leaving in handcuffs.
hard to see things clearly when you're in the thick of it, but these guys were definitely partners and not victims.
They should have asked him what his role was in this web design business!! I doubt he does anything. It doesn't make sense.
Amazing job!! Keep helping people who are victims! God bless your great team!! ❤😊
He knew it was money, and he was getting a cut. It is possible that he didn't know that he, too, was a victim... OR he did know and was covering his ass to get away from a crime. Thanks Ash & Art for all you do. Stay safe. 💕
Guys, you two are simply FANTASTIC!! Cannot imagine your commitment and courage to do what you are doing!!
Great work Team Trilogy Media!
I feel bad about how innocent people are being victimized and put through hell by these scammers from my homeland.
I share your videos among friends and family here in US and back in India so that people are aware of scams.
I am a part of this fight against the scammers.
Thank you Ashton and Art. More power to you guys!!
During the last phone call the scammer told the mule "I was depressed yesterday, thinking it's a fake victim". That shows that the mule knew exactly what they're doing.
This this right here is why I’m damn proud to be a part of your squad. Excellent job guys. You have hearts of gold. Bravo Janni, keep up the great work brother.
*jaani not janni.
@@VolatileHunter2 sorry Mr. perfect, spellcheck changes things sometimes
Why did the guys at Trilogy media not help the guy to freeze his accounts and credit before confronting the scammer? Why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? It seemed like they just wanted video of them saying F you to the scammer than left victim to deal with the consequences. Also why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? This was extremely sloppy work and from what he was saying probably endangered the victim even worse! There is a reason these victims get scammed and it's because they don't understand what to do and need someone who will help them. Trilogy Media didn't seem interested at all with helping him, just getting video of them calling the scammer names!
It’s very advisable to go to the SSA and report the SSN as stolen, also get a credit report and it will show each and all accounts open; active or inactive, and make a report as I’d theft.
Another great video, saving and educating not only the unknowing money mule but his brother as well.
I just found you guys yesterday. I’m obsessed!! Love what you do!
thank you to everyone part of this channel for helping people being preyed on by scammers
U sure showing Johnny is safe when showing his face love wat u all do and other like you xxx❤
Best video yet! I'm so proud of you all. I hope you stick with this man like you did Rona, and that as a community we can help him get back on his feet. Thank you for everything you do for these people. Special thanks for Jaani bc I know he's putting his life in major jeopardy doing what he does. Love you, Trilogy Media!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ok why is this one in my backyard… I flinched when Ashton said Sacramento
Go Squadismo - I love seeing the growth on the channel. Keep up the kick ass work.
This guy needs to go the FBI, but something is off... his mother died and he "lost the house" so now he lives with his brother? He's retired but he was living rent free with his mother? And now he's afraid of his brother? This is just so bizarre.
I have watched these guys for years and am sitting here crying for this old man
Crying for this old man? He knows what he’s doing is illegal and just didn’t care since he got his cut. Don’t feel bad for him.
@@jax9074 😂 how would you know he knew what he was doing was illegal
@@Ailen426 it’s very obvious. If you can’t see that I have a beach I’m sure you’d be interested in buying.
@@jax9074 😂😂 sure buddy I’m sure you’re an expert in reading people
@@Ailen426 I don’t need to be an expert just have a little common sense which apparently isn’t so common anymore
You know the saddest part of this whole story was that this poor man was more scared of his own brother finding out about him being scammed. If he could just understand that it could happen to damn near anyone including a young person.
I did really feel for this old guy. Thank goodness there are people like you trying to put a stop to these scams. ❤
It really makes me mad when the call center boss said that he doesn't like doing refund scams because "customers used to die." The boss want scams that he can use on the same customer over and over, and since many of their victims are older, they want to do scams that get them the most bang for the buck. That was not something I expected coming from him, even if he is a scammer. Just wow.
I think you guys could’ve helped him a little more or at least set him up with someone who can prevent any further damage. Glad the brother got involved and is going to help. Great video!
This is unfortunate for that poor guy being used as a money mule and I pray that he gets everything taken care of. I feel badly for him and it hurts to see him stuck in a situation like that. Good work Jaani and Trilogy Media for exposing scams like this. It’s a slow process but it’s another victim saved. Thank you for what you do. 💜💜💜💜💜
Are you all mad?
The scammer said he worked with him for 9 years. The old guy said he met him 2 years. Something doesnt add up here
@@vert2552 Because scammers don't lie? Either one could be lying but im more gonna think the scammers are more full of BS than a Possibly victim mule
As sad as this was to see, I love how the victim went along with it. Added such a good layer to this whole video/story.
Saving victims, awareness, education. Thx so much TM! 👏🏻👏🏻✌️✌️❤️
Thank you for what you do because a scammer got my mother to send her whole social security check to him for months . We had to sell her home to get her out of debt. So thank you for saving others! God bless you
much love trilogy, good work guys good confrontation we need to expose that Ankit internally
I am glad where their heart is in but this was a horrible thing they did to the old man! If they cared about the victim they would have made sure his accounts were closed out, credit frozen, and law enforcement contacted before they confronted the scammer. The guy said he has access to his accounts and opened up credit cards and other accounts in his name. instead of doing the right thing they just pushed to get a video of them saying F you to the scammer and then left and let him deal with the consequences. Trilogy Media screwed up big time here and need to help victims, not put them in more risk!
Gentlemen - you are absolute heroes! I remember when you first started as scam baiters, having a lot of fun wasting their time with word games and lots of laughter. Now you have lifted you game to a whole new level helping victims and working for justice. Well done gents. I pray for your safety. Go well and God bless.
Great job Trilogy Media. Keep it up guys. 👍 Bust those scammers. Their low lifes.
This is one of the times I believe the FBI would have been better showing up. They could have at least shut down all of his account before alerting the scammer.
My heart breaks for that guys… keep up the amazing work trilogy!!!!!
The old geezer says some random "investor" sends him cash in an envelop. He also confidently states his company builds websites and is in the "spice" business.
I am pretty sure the victims have sent money to his bank(s) too and he knows that but did not disclose it to Trilogy. They missed that. That should have been explored!
I have only just this minute started viewing another of your great videos and I am already tearful.
Seeing the vulnerable old man being told / ordered what to do with the packing up of his own life savings is very heartbreaking, along with watching him walk off doubled over (obvious mobility issues) to do just what they told him to do, and like you say, they are laughing at him.
I have said this before, these shite's are sadistic, every one of them enjoys the pain they inflict on these elderly victims :-( The IRS scams sum them up as sadists because even when they know they are on a lost cause, they will carry on further by saying the Police Chief etc will be at your door in five minutes. Once they know they have "lost" there really is no point carrying on, they might as well just hang up, but their aim now is to cause further pain :-(
Back to viewing and I hope you continue your worthy cause for years to come.
Love from the UK xx
I love seeing you guys help stop these criminals. They don't care who they hurt. It makes me sick to see how the take advantage of older and elderly people.
Johnny doing the right thing. We love you Johnny!!!
Love this video guys! Haven't been able to catch you in y'all's live stream @Trilogy Media recently but when we can. We're be there! Awesome work y'all!
Identity theft, Coercion, Money Laundering, Racketeering, Fraud.... how many felonies can one scammer commit???
“ Tommy” is a scammer. He’s got that “ aw shucks” nice guy attitude but he’s a criminal.
I am 37 yrs old and got a Medicare call today. They asked me if I received my new Medicare card. I asked why would I have a Medicare card. The guy had a thick Indian accent, and replied because I'm at the right age. I asked him if he knew who I was, he replied yes and gave me some lady's name and told me I was apparently 78 years old. I laughed and said "you contact my grandmother again I will be taking my phone to the fbi and having you tracked or I will contact scambaiters and have them handle it." He gasped and hung up on me. I didn't mention names of which scambaiters. I usually play with the scammers. But am having a bad day today and was not in the mood for some foolish b.s with them.
yo who else can hear him eating 11:43 bruh i thought i was trippin or something 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg it sounds so weird
When the old man said “I gotta go get some stuff off my computer.” I was like oh man this guy was also guilty. He knows what was happening.
No; that was to protect his money from the scammer.
Heartbreaking!! Great work guys!!
Old man definetly knows what he's doing.
For sure
He knows, but he was trapped. These scammers put this poor man in such a bind that he became almost dependent upon them.
@@Duddylee yeah he knew what was happening, eventually, he went in to it thinking this sounds alright, then would’ve realised and if his story is true, with credit rating and all that, he would be scared for his life
my heart goes out to this guy....I am so sick of scammers!!!
Where are you guys. I haven't received any notifications, no livestreams and who is trilogy highlights? Just want to know is anyone experiencing this as well?
I appreciate the live confrontations so much. nobody does what you guys do and I love the european guy
I don’t think Russia is in Europe 🤔
Another awesome video. Janani is an amazing person who I have the highest admiration for. And you guys do the most amazing life changing work. Thank you for all you do. Much love and respect from Down Under
Ash, Art and Trilogy Media, I LOVE you guys. Thank you for all you do for people. You're all Angels 😇❤
Soooo crazy! Great job as usual! Well done!!
The scammer told him to delete text now to clear all the evidence of their communication. Thinking of himself and now giving a fuck about this man.
Honestly the old man seems like he knows more than you guys think.
When “tommy” heard the audio of ankit saying he had done business with him for 9 yrs he seemed to me (in my own not expert opinion) that he may be aware of what’s going on and is guilty of money laundering. He wanted to just back away and escape the situation. This guy then says he lives with his brother and has bad credit, so maybe he is desperate to get money and decided to get into this to help his situation, and it was really a bad move.
Woo hoo they will be looking for you-the one with the soft heart.
Yay will watch this later, saved to watch list! Cant wait love you guys
Wow all I can say is wow 😮 this sh*t is unbelievable. I feel so sorry for this man. If the scammers has all of his information he is screwed. You guys are amazing and I thank God that we have you. That’s why I will continue to be a member and donate more often. I love my tee shirt. Thank you so much for all you do ❤
You say this old guy is screwed and then go on to say how amazing trilogy media is but they rather get a drama shot for their video then actually do the smart thing and help this man close said accounts. If the guy was telling the truth then TM would of selfishly blown the whole thing for him but doesn't matter because this old guy is in on the scam
SHAME ON YOU TRILOGY MEDIA! Honestly they probably did more harm than good. Why didn't they help the elderly man freeze his accounts and credit before confronting the scammer? Why didn't they help him contact law enforcement? They just wanted video of them saying F you to the scammer and then left, leaving the victim very screwed! Honestly Trilogy Media just wanted their video footage of them yelling at a scammer and seem to not care at all about the victim!
Scammers piss me off what they do to the victims. Feel bad for this guy. Amazing how someone can lie so much and do not have any remorse about it. Thank goodness for the legend Barbosa and Trilogy Media. Making the big difference and taking the world by a storm! Keep up the great work
Feel sorry for this guy, really. He's totally part of it all and knows exactly what he's at. He should be exposed and arrested. Don't be gullible. Receiving cash in the post. Both these guys know exactly what is going on.
@@user-zm8xt4ff9b if what he was saying is true, he was conned into thinking he was apart of a legitimate business deal with someone. If that is the case then hes just as much a victim. Not only that its him will suffer when things go wrong.
The scammers are good at making people believe what they are saying is true.
Thankfully thiers people out thier like these guys who bring awareness how the scammers operate. And the tactics they use.
Thanks guys for the video 😊
Another amazing video and one amazing job from Trilogy Media and Janni shoutout to you guys sorry missed the premiere I am watching it now can’t believe what I am watching that is one insane and amazing things you guys did for the victim you guys are the best and really enjoy these premieres you guys do you guys are true OG legends keep up the amazing work on RUclips sending much love and respect coming your way seriously you guys deserve it a lot 🔥😁🥂😎👏🤩👍✊❤️🤟😱
Ashton and Art guys you're exceptionally
Outstanding work you're doing, to helping people's who got scammed and feeling helpless until you guys reached those pathetic human beings.. very best wishes for you and the entire team of trilogy media..
Again another amazing job and Video from TM and Barbosa! Saving another victim is awesome. I hope T-man gets all the help to get back to normal. Many blessing to all and can't wait for the update to this video in the future.
Why didn't Trilogy media help this victim before they confronted the scammer?
You guys are amazing as always! ❤
My heart breaks for this poor man. All he cared about is how he brother would view him-that hurts. Cuts deep.
Praying for him. 🙏
I wonder how he filled taxes if he thought what he does was legal.
People on fixed incomes typically don't have to file taxes, depending on income streams
Do these scammers not know that even when you delete something from your phone that law enforcement has ways to retrieve deleted data? They may be good manipulators but they are definitely not smart when it comes to the law. They think right away delete and run but it doesn't work like that with advances in technology, phone companies track everything and have record as well aa google and cloud. Those random apps everyone hates are what keeps record of all the things you do.
One day this will all come to an end.
Love you guys and send Jaani my love and support!
Have the old man pull his credit reports and then begin closing all accounts he's not aware of.. that's how you fix your credit... and file identity theft
THIS IS SICKENING LISTENING TO HIM TALK TO JAANI!!! PLEASE NEVER STOP THIS WORK!!!!
