I worked for GeekSquad for a year in tech support. Many times have old folks called me for help. The only thing i could do is take the scammers off their PC but all that money would be gone. One time a old fellow got hit for 12k and my heart sunk when i had to tell him that all that money was gone with no way to get it back. Fuck all of them scammers.
No offense, but hopefully they didn't take your word for it. We are not responsible for any fraudulent charges. They can't break in to a bank, and steal your money. They can only steal the bank's money. No matter what the circumstances are, if money is fraudulently taken from your account, banks have to immediately return the money to you, and THEN investigate. They can't wait. They can't say you did it. They can't do any of that. They have to give the money back immediately. Now, if you did have a part in it, you of course would be prosecuted. But the burden is on THEM, to pay fraud, not you.
I worked for MS customer service lines a few years ago, had lots of calls of elderly people asking about the Bill Gates lottery, or asking when were we going to release their computer (ransomware). usually when they contacted us it was too late.
They tried to get my 73 year-old mom with this type of scam. Luckily, she caught on before it was too late. The youtubers (and there are several of them) that go after these scammers are saints.
I’m not a RUclipsr but they tried to scam my Moms office for data and I ended up sending them in a loop and calling them back all day it was so funny 😂😂. It’s actually fun fucking with them
Sad that they don't go after the corpos for exploitation and foreign lobbying to have zero labor laws in India with the same energy. Only if these corpos paid fair wage, the call center problem wouldn't exist. Rockstar, a multi-billion dollar gaming company pays all it's QA testers in India the "fair market value wage" of 3k USD a year and apparently this is supposed to be "more than the market value". So ofcourse they're gonna pivot to something like joining a scamming call center in order to be able to afford a house in their lifetimes and actually put some food on the table for themselves.
So they scammed tens of thousands of dollars from each and they stained their hands and released cockroaches? How does that have any effect on their scam operation? If you really want to avenge them, shut them down and either steal their money or send them to jail.
@@N1c0T1n3__ The problem is they did stop, they created these call centers in India 20 years ago but the backlash from Americans caused them to shut down the legit legal call centers. So what tthey were left with was a huge population with advanced telecommunication and computer skills, who are used to making a decent living from the above average wages american corps paid. So it was natural for them to move to scamming.
I remember running into my Grandma's room diving at her phone because she was half-way done reading her SSN to a scammer. I remember she got a call once too, the scammer claimed to be my brother, had all his information, and was telling my Grandma he (pretending to be my brother) was in a car accident in New Mexico and needed money for medical expenses. It was fortunate I was there to stop all of it, but these scammers are serious pieces of shit. Whenever my Grandma gets a call, she can't tell if it's a scammer or a real call about her doctor appointments or insurance, etc. I hate that these scammer target the elderly. It's good to see that some scammers are getting karma and much love to those who are fighting them.
The BS detector is the fist thing to go, so folks don't realize it. They can have all their other faculties, but still see a huge reduction in this skill. My mom is sharp as a tack, and not that old really (still working), but we already are involving me in anything big financial, because she has realized she can't detect BS the way she used to.
@@Tijuanabill It's mostly because to detect BS, you have to be aware of what is possible and older people usualy don't know that. Also, you tend to rely on stuff that you've learned and if you were not scammed before, you won't think about it.
@@mrkv4k Actually, no. I'm speaking of a very common medical condition, that has nothing to do with knowledge of technology. This can and WILL happen to us all eventually, no matter how tech savvy we are. This is science, not conjecture.
@Okurka. They will reincarnated and will be burdened with carrying on with the suffering never reaching enlightment and breaking the cycle. Unless of curse they seek guidance if given the opportunity.
If anyone wants to see that special place in hell where they go, watch kitbogas video "Scammers vs Impossible Password Game". Wouldn't doing that for eternity be the perfect punishment for those guys?
People in comments screaming "THAT'S KITBOGA!" when they were talking about Bessie. No, that was an actual scam call made with an elderly person named Bessie, and they saved her from losing money.
But Kitboga does show exactly how scammy they are. He does troll them hard, but sometimes his characters are quite sympathetic, and I've never seen it stop one of the scammers. Some of them become even meaner even. Wild.
Being from Kolkata where these offices are located, I feel ashamed of these people. Me and my friends who worked in the IT sector quite close to these offices had often tipped the authorities about such practices. Like the video said, the police basically knows what's going on. But the Government is inept and refuses to take any action. The locals here with any sort of internet knowledge also dislike the scammers. Just a bunch of scumbags.
If those call centers are raking in _that_ much money - odds are the officials are being bribed. I doubt officials and cops being bribed is just something that happens here in the U.S. - and my fellow Americans are naive as hell if they think it doesn't happen here. It does. Every day. It's called a "soft money" campaign contribution in most cases.
Don't worry, most people understand that these people don't represent where you live, and are a minority of bad people. Sadly, every country and culture has a few messed up people, but also loads of good people
@@irmvai more like there is active monetary incentive for them to look the other way. It happens just the same in America it's just that massive corporations have the facade of legitimacy.
Jim browning: hacker, eyes in the sky Mark rober: inventor, makes the gear for the boys. Trilogy media: boots on the ground, front line men. A dangerous combination, for scammers
@@KT-up9nt imagine if they called in Kit and SP. That's your interference team right there. Kit and SP can distract and prevent moment from reaching the scammers, freeing Jim up to help keep a eye on their plants, and even working with the plants to save people.
One flew into the inner opening of our coffee table right in front of me, it really fucked me up since no one else waa home at the time and I was ready to resort to pest control 😭
when I was in the military, a friend of mine came to work one day telling me about a part-time job he had gotten. This guy didn’t seem like a particular dumb guy, but after asking him some questions it was obvious that he was involved in a check cashing scam. When I told him, he thought I was wrong. I took him to a computer and pulled up a web page that described the scam he was involved with and finally was able to talk some sense into him.
@@TempestaDominus Basically, all check cashing scams work on this principle: Your bank trusts you (to some extent), so when you come in with a check, they give you the money. They don't actually know whether the check is good yet. Will any money come? No idea, but they expect it to. Now, you've cashed your check, you've gotten the money out, and you're now supposed to send some of that money elsewhere. So maybe they send you a check for 20k, and ask you to take out 15k and send it, you keep 5k as a money handling fee. You do that, and you think that you now have 5k more than you did when you started and they have moved their money or w/e. Except those 20k that are in your account from the check? It's fake money. Once they vanish, you find that the only "real" transaction done is the part where you withdrew 15k of your money and sent it.
@@TempestaDominus yep. Sometimes it's "do this minor task for us, we'll pay you in check, oh no, we put a 0 too much, can you withdraw the amount that's too much and send it back to us?" They deliberately target credulous old folks or people down on their luck for this, because yeah, 99% of the population does not fall for this
One time I was doing a dungeon with some people (in an MMORPG called Dofus) and something touched my foot, so I looked down and screamed because it was a pretty big scorpion, but I still had to help in the dungeon. I had moved my foot so the scorpion started walking around and I had to stop it before it went where I couldn't find it. I grabbed the nearest item (a plastic fork) and stabbed at it, pinning it to the floor. The fork wasn't IN the scorpion because it wasn't sharp, and the scorpion had a pretty strong back exoskeleton. So now I have 1 hand holding a fork on the ground, and the other hand needs to be finishing the dungeon. If I move the fork, the scorpion will run. So I'm sitting there for 45 minutes playing my game with 1 hand on the table and my other hand down towards the ground. After the dungeon was done, I finnaly.had time to think about how to fix the problem, and somehow I got the scorpion into a ziplock bag, and the next morning I took it into a store where some of the other people in the dungeon worked and showed it to them.
I had a similar story. It was summer vacation and I was playing Counter-Strike 1.5 wearing only underwear. During a gunfight I felt something was crawling on my foot/calf/leg. I looked down and saw a big German cockroach climbing up my leg. I quickly pat it off and focus back into the intense gunfight. I didn't scream or do any radical reaction. But MY GOD! The incoming ADRENALINE was so REAL. I felt my heart pumping so hard after my brain realized that "hey! a big cockroach just climbed my leg!" Good thing is that, after this "close encounter incident", I kind of not afraid of cockroach anymore.
@@latingm yea I do excuse them in some ways. They are culpable that's for sure, but they aren't what keeps the company working, they are replaceable. A glitter bomb will not close them down.
I’ve been following these anti scam channels for years. Telling everyone I could about these scams. I even learned a bit of Hindi to swear at them when they call me. 😊
There's a dude with a voice changer who keeps these guys talking as long as possible. Sometimes in excess of 10 hours. The rage when they figure that out is hilarious
His channel is called "scam baiter" and i am pretty sure that bessie mark was talking about is scam baiter i think he was also the one who hacked the cameras for mark because pretty much in all his vids he hacks the cameras of the scammers
His name's Kitboga and he's hilarious! Scambaiter is Perogi, different channel, who hacks into scammers' systems and deletes their files. Also funny to listen to how passed off they get. Bessie was an elderly woman who was scammed out of $30,000. Trilogy Media fundraiser to replace the money for her.
I live in the Philippines and I used to work for a call center that had an account (department) for different QuickBooks services/products. It is extremely exhausting to fight off these scammers. They often target QuickBooks users with Payroll services and then they call us to gain access. Unfortunately, as long as they have all the basic info and SSN, they can easily obtain and infiltrate your QuickBooks files and such. Yes, these scammers are from India.
My grandpa gets these scam calls all the time, but he's smart enough to never fall for them. If anything, when he's bored, he will answer and just mess with them to see how long they will stay on the line. It's usually not long. Per example: He gets A LOT of Amazon scam calls. While I've ordered things on Amazon for him (send it to his house), he doesn't have an Amazon account so he knows it's an instant scam. Many times he will say to them "I'm having trouble hearing you as I have 2 hearing aids. Can you speak louder and in English so I can understand you better?" Most times, they hang up right here. One scam call was somebody trying to sell him Viagra. Yeah, he loved messing with them. Grandpa: "You want to sell me Viagra? What's that for?" (He knew just wanted them to say it) Scammer: "Well it's for sex." Grandpa: "Well, I'm a widower and so I won't need any Viagra, unless you're going to come and give me some sex." * They hang up * I think over the years, the spam calls have decreased. My guess he's annoyed many of them that they removed him from their call list as they know he will never fall for it. (Edit: Had to fix the line breaks since RUclips screwed them up and put A LOT of extra lines.)
The reaction to people complaining in chat about the ad is the exact reason why i watch your react content, even if i normaly cant really stand that shit. You try to bring the stuff you like into the limelight and provide value to the people who made it, not leeching on them.
@@Ike_of_pyke I would rather prefer ads in the video so you can actually just tap the right of the screen or click forward to skip it instantly rather then having to actually sit through it with no control
Every person associated with a scam center should have their personal info displayed publicly so people that lost everything to them can make their own justice.
Not much a 85 year old alzheimer person can do with some random address in India... What are they gunna do, fly to कुरुक्षेत्र and go Jason Bourne on some 40 year old dude?
Kit Boga is the king of exposing scammers. There's a bunch of people trying to copy what he does, but none of them come close to his level of expertise and trolling.
I'm a Westerner who's been living in India for 10 years now. I'm looking at the young people sitting in those offices and got a pretty good idea of what kind of people they are. Relatively recent grads, unmarried, from low repute colleges - the max their parents could afford to send them to. They are educated enough to qualify for a job that requires English, but their schools don't carry the names to enable them for placement in any proper decent paying company. There are plenty of such young people in India and they often end up working as store clerks in malls or even as security guards (my building's security guard has an engineering degree from a small town college). Many families put huge pressure though on their kids to get an 'office job' which is technically seen above sales clerks and security guards. Why do they put that pressure? Because they aim to marry their kids off latest by age 25 and for that your kid - regardless of gender - better be earning and placed in a 'proper job' aka 'office job'. This is how some young people end up in offices like that. What you see here are bottom-of-the-barrel folks that couldn't be placed anywhere else and with their families sitting in their necks about getting a job fast so they can marry. Doesn't make any of this shit right, of course. These companies need to be brought down. It's a joke the government turns such a blind eye to it. I'm pretty sure I know why too. India tends to have no issues whatsoever with any entity generating cash flow into the country. It's ridiculously easy to transfer money here. But god forbid you want to transfer anything out, even if it's your own money to your own foreign account. It's a huge headache. I guess if they acknowledged the problem, they fear they might actually have to reimburse people abroad. Though I'm really not sure about the legalities concerning the prosecution of international fraud. But such videos are super important, cause if there's one thing the Indian government fears it's bad international press. They are super self-conscious about their reputation, especially in front of the West. Spread that shit far and wide and tag concerning Indian government officials if possible. They won't lift a finger for justice's sake or for moral reason, but if it's about their image suddenly a lot of things can happen. About the call centers they couldn't manage to shut down despite informing the authorities... well... you know those call centers already pulled enough money to pay off the right people on a regular basis. Once you figure that, there is no point in contacting that layer or authority. You need to go one step up. But even then it can happen that whoever you contact will just go and attempt to collect 'their share' and if successful act as if nothing happened. So you'll need to continue going steps up until that guy's bribe level is above their pay grade.
Jim Browning is amazing. Love the video where he let's a scammer into his virtual machine where the scammer finds a photo of himself and his family. Then he address the scammer by his real name. Browning is Internet Batman.
Fun fact, if you didn't know: the guy reacting to the fart spray at 14:31 is _the_ Macaulay Culkin! He made a guest appearance on one of the glitter bomb videos since they were inspired by Home Alone.
"It'd be cool if banks could review large transfers and suspicious financial decisions" Bro that's just called banking in Canada.... I haven't heard of a single bank that doesn't do that for much smaller amounts. I commissioned art from a guy in Mexico and they froze my account until they figured out what it was for.
A lot of countries have better bank security than the us. In Germany for example, no legitimate actor will ever talk to you through the phone due to privacy laws, making scam calls incredibly obvious. Most banks offer free chargeback, where the customer is always right. For the chargeback to be reversed, the other party has to file a legal complaint and prove their case as well. To bad Indian banks probably don't allow charge backs, or this issue could be nonexistent.
@@Weggorino Don’t answer the phone if you don’t know who it is! They can’t spoof your friends and they are not likely to know who you do business with and they can leave a message. Or FALL FOR THE SCAM AND GIVE ALL YOUR INFO AWAY!
The evolution of all this is just incredible. The guy was just tired of people stealing his Amazon packages so he made a glitter bomb with a camera. Few years later and he's pranking an international crime ring.
"Every animal preys on the weakest" Very true. What's also true though is that the prey in question tend to protect their weakest members to the best of their ability even when they are unrelated.
27:45 banks actually have that; there've been some cases when the tellers actually try to stop the transaction and explain the person that this amount of money is suspicious, or ask them what is this for to try and assist them, but if you as the owner of your account insist to withdraw that money they can't do anything else more than give you advise.
Or hear me out we use technology to help them. Example you do 100% of your shopping in the USA you have never shopped outside of the USA or even your state in the last 7 years. Then all of a sudden you're trying to donate $2,000 to some company over in India?? get real.
If our boys have all this info on the scammers perhaps they could go a little further and send the info of what they actually do to their parents. Nothing straightens people out like parental disappointment.
I must applaud this guy. His antics will clearly give a loud warning call to all the people who decided to call me and beg me to send them money pretending to be my energy company or Amazon Prime because I am almost 50 years old so they think they can get me. I've learned my lesson after accessing a site to fix my printer and them jacking my computer and charging me $400. X(
thanks for sharing this with your community, this really needs to get out there everywhere because its really sad to hear about someone you know or family member fall for this sort of stuff.
As someone who has worked for a bank for a long time, I can tell you that the banks don't want their customers to get scammed either. Unfortunately because of federal regulation they can not withhold money from their clients for any reason. What's really sad about these situations is the phycological warfare going on during these interaction. These people getting scammed are truly convinced this is real, to the point of aggression. Its really cool to see people doing things like this, and Asmond's commentary is legendary!
Banks want to keep your money not have you spend it they want the old people to die so they can kept their money and keep getting interest on it by loaning it out they consider it their money,
Same. Lol. There is one from Tennessee that tells you that you owe three thousand dollars on a credit card from 2 yrs ago. Scary part is they had all my info. I am on disability for a chronic illness and have no credit card. I told them I knew they were scammers and they had over 500 complaints online and warning people about them. Which was true. The guy freaked out. Threatening to SA me, call me 10 times a day, said I deserved my illness. I told him Thanks I recorded what he said, I didn't. Then he tried to apologize and I hung up and blocked them. Next day new number different person. Just hung up. It's really terrible and I bet older people fell for it and paid the money. They wouldn't even tell you what credit card it was or what the charge was. I don't know how they can live with themselves.
I'm usually very calm and don't like violence at all but these scammers man, they make my blood boil to the point I fantasize about smashing their heads into concrete. It's just so damn disgusting and sad to hear these poor old people be manipulated like that. Don't they stop to think how they would feel if someone did this to their parents or grandparents.. Maybe they think that everyone in the west is living in luxury and has all the money in the world so it doesn't matter or something. I'm just trying to understand how they can do this and sleep at night.
I fell ror a scammer who said he was from hbo. I had just had a message from hbo on my TV screen and like an idiot I fell into their trap , I'm 66, and he got ALL my information and took control of my phone. I realized something was wrong and hung up ,called my bank, shut down my account but they got 418 dollars out of my account. I went to the police and the scammer still was using his same number that was on my phone,yet the police said they couldn't do anything. Thank goodness my bank reimbursed my money. I was so angry at myself and the scammers
Scamers pretended to be my older friends mobile company, told him he had to pay $90 a month for this mobile account or they would fine him, they almost got him to he was so stressed they would take the money out of his bank account but like its a prepaid sim the man pays with cash he never gave them his bank details he never had to. Abvously sus right so I looked into it turned out that his provider doesnt even have a $90 plan.. Guy is close to 90yrs old, these older generations are so easyly scammed because people didnt used to be so f king evil its that simple the world is getting more and more cruel and twisted sadly.
Funny, just yesterday my mother was called by one of them. As she was willing to go through with the call, I overheard what was going on. I was tempted to grab the phone out of her hand shout some insults and hang off, but instead i just made her hang up. But it didn't end there, they called her like 4 times. She had to block the number, then she got called by a new number, and another new one. She had to block 4 numbers in the end just to end it. Kinda shows you how fucking desperate they are to get some money out of you
It just hit 1 mil likes, I love this connected world we now live in, 29 years ago when these scam centres started you'd NEVER be able to get viral attention on taking one down like this, let alone be able to connect with anyone in the world who could help with such endeavors
I believe Mark Rober said "29 years combined", which would mean sum of the time they are operational now is 29 years... one is 12 years, another 11 if I remember correctly, which leaves third one to 6 years.
Mark Rober's other giltter bomb videos are a great watch. Also, they may not always do it, but there are banks that do inform older people of scams if they try to withdraw large amounts of money since they are suspicious.
My grandparents are very tech savvy. At least my grandmother was and my grandfather is in the know. He's like those youtubers that string the scammers along. My grandmother isn't with us anymore, but ironically her mother was very susceptible to these things.
Most banks do have systems in place that will alert both the bank and the account holder when an unusual amount is removed from the account, or if said amount is transferred or withdrawn from unusual locations or sources. The issue there, though, is that a lot of times the account holder has to actually manually activate these systems in their account, which isn’t gonna be done very often by elderly with no knowledge or experience with such technology.
These boys have my absolute respect, and my sub. Adapt and overcome, finish the mission. Bro, these guys were more effective then law enforcement at taking down these tools, this was some CIA ops ran by RUclipsrs. Ok maybe that's a bit much, but still, they rigged these scammers building like a mission impossible sting. Its damn impressive. Btw those crooks were talking about shooting them, the glitter boys should have absolutely used the bee's man. Just say'n.
the reason why the indian government isnt cracking down on this even if they could is simply because this is actually developing the country you take foreign money and convert it into indian money so it is a benefit as a while
This is so good!!! I’m glad ppl are out there trying to stop scammers and actually making progress! I’m definitely heading over to their videos!!! I absolutely love this!!!
I always tell my parents (in their 70s+) to never trust anyone who calls them saying their last 4 didgets in their ''id-number'' is leaked (Sweden). At lest every 2-3 months some scammer calls them too have them log into ''Bank ID'' by claming leaked numbers so they can steal whatever they have in their accounts. Im just so relived that they NEVER have fallen for this scam, but I'll keep telling them anyway to never trust someone on the phone, snailmail or email.
When I was in my first year of highschool after the school day had ended we got on the bus to head home and there was this dude panicking like crazy at the back of the bus turns out he "owed 50,000 to the IRS" which we don't have in NZ it was clearly a scam but the guy had no idea, we convinced him it was a scam but it was too late he had already sent 10,000 to these scammers, guy broke down crying when he found out it was a scam.
There is actually an easy way to stop this, but the phone companies make to much money allowing it, so it won't happen. Give the option to block calls from incoming calls that the caller-id doesn't match the actual source number. All incoming calls to a company have essentially metadata. This is source information, flags like caller-id block, caller-id etc. This is especially easier now versus 10 or 20 years ago since almost all carrier traffic is SIP based anymore. These companies spoof caller-id often of local known numbers and that is why they get through and blocking numbers doesn't work. Most phone systems actually have options like this built in, they just aren't used. The catch is phone companies turn around and can bill incoming carriers for calls they deliver from their systems. So Verizon is making millions billing the phone company in India that is sending the calls.
So much this. Only let real phones on the phone lines. If Twitter can verify, then so can the phone companies. It should just be that you can't fake your number...it has to be real. It can't be that hard. Also, these people aren't very smart, sometimes it says it me calling me. Surely that can't help their cause.
11:25 - this sounds like someone is crafting a nice pair of concrete shoes for the receiver of that message. Really scary. If they would have gotten a hold on that guy he may be dead now.
Love your reaction videos 🤣. You often get me to check others channels out. You got some great commentary always a good laugh. Also your very well spoken, no holding back 😁👍
0:00 I've delved into anti-scammer shenanigans and I love it intersecting with Mark Rober via his package-theft countering Glitter bomb series. Already watched Mark's video, so I look forward to Asmon's reactions and commentary. I can tell it'll be good based on the thumbnail reaction to the rats. 🤣
Im surprised that when the bees got brought up they were more concerned with a bee getting out prematurely than the possibility of several of the scammers being allergic to bees and having a couple inadvertant murders on their hands.
Not all animals have weak animals in their groups.. that's the point of getting rid of the weak. Five topics to fix society via discussion: -Anti-natalism vs Natalism -The 3 basic needs/prenatal needs Three things necessary for human evolution that are provided while in the womb which are; food, shelter and medical care. -Platinum rule Do whatever makes one happier unless it interferes with another persons ability to do the same. -MBTI (research yours and connect with others) -Art (pick one and get better at it!)
these people chose to sneak pranks in, if other groups were this passionate about getting at these people we all know much worse could have been snuck in
The banks in the UK have cracked down massively - even limiting people from withdrawing or sending large amounts of cash without speaking to them first to ensure it isn't a scam.
I’m almost 58 and thankfully schooled in this. Had the classic att/direct tv call. I have them the wrong dob making me 59. He said “omg you don’t sound like such an old lady! You sound young like 30! You sound beautiful “ I’m like dude. You just called me old. F you. I messed with him a while and got bored. Never ever give them real info. Your name and address is likely totally public but for the love of god NEVER EVER EVEN IF YOU CALL THEM let them have control of your computer or phone. Never click a link. 99% like irs, Amazon etc won’t call you. Get an email? Call them from the actual website. It’s sad people think you can pay back with cards. Elderly get creamed so hard.
Mark Rober: "Guys I'm worried about your safety. Do you wanna carry through with this?" Trilogy Media: "We can't. We'll never find trousers big enough for our balls if we don't finish the mission."
These scammers make my life hell as well. I work for the enrollment dept of one of the largest Medicare Advantage companies in the U.S. and so often these ppl think I'm fraud because of these terrible people. If you or someone you know is in Medicare here's some tips, a. Ask me to prove myself. I will not be offended, in fact I LOVE these people because you are protecting yourself as you should be and not blindly accepting. Things you can ask me are for the Application Tracking Number, also called ATN or Confirmation number. (You will also need to be sure you gather this information from your broker to ensure mine matches yours.) The only people who will have this information are the people handling your application and this number is totally random with multiple possible formats. I can also tell you who your broker was (but will need a moment to pull that up as only paper applications may have the agents name written on it, and even that's not for sure. They ask will have the agents NPN or national producer number though, so I can look this up if you give me a moment.) I know the instinct is to hang up if I can't immediately answer but that just hurts yourself because I'm at the mercy of a database and if they are updating it, it could be slow at that moment. I CANNOT validate my identity by telling you your date of birth, address, or anything ride about yourself. I can see it sure, but let's say I mis-dialed and called the wrong #, I would then be providing your protected information to a stranger and risking your identity be stolen, which I'm not willing to do. You do have the option of calling in yourself, but then your going to get a general customer service rep who will not be a knowledgeable about your issue as I am, especially if the issue is special enrollment periods or medicaid benefits. Before you fault them, those poor folks have to be helpful on far too many topics, claims, billing, enrollment, benefit coverage, demographic updates, provider listing, and 10,000 more topics. They are jacks of all trades but masters of none, whereas all I do all day every day is call people and resolve enrollment issues so I am a master of my corner of the Medicare universe Also, be patient and not offended in the occasions we do call on a weekend. Weekends calls do not equal fraud, they equal we are in a busy enrollment period and I'm working EVERY DAY, ALL DAY to ensure you or your loved one has coverage when you need it, and try to get to you in time to submit a correction if needed. Before you tell at me for calling during dinner please understand I'm surviving on junk working hour 15 of my shift today and have 4 months more of the same in front of me. Sorry your dinner is interrupted but I haven't seen my nephews or eaten a proper meal in months, all to help YOU. Same with calling on the weekends. We don't work weekends unless it's a busy enrolment period like AEP, just be glad I'm calling you in time to resolve an issue before AEP ends and you lose your chance to apply for a plan your eligible for.

I worked for GeekSquad for a year in tech support. Many times have old folks called me for help. The only thing i could do is take the scammers off their PC but all that money would be gone. One time a old fellow got hit for 12k and my heart sunk when i had to tell him that all that money was gone with no way to get it back. Fuck all of them scammers.
No offense, but hopefully they didn't take your word for it. We are not responsible for any fraudulent charges. They can't break in to a bank, and steal your money. They can only steal the bank's money. No matter what the circumstances are, if money is fraudulently taken from your account, banks have to immediately return the money to you, and THEN investigate. They can't wait. They can't say you did it. They can't do any of that. They have to give the money back immediately. Now, if you did have a part in it, you of course would be prosecuted. But the burden is on THEM, to pay fraud, not you.
I worked for MS customer service lines a few years ago, had lots of calls of elderly people asking about the Bill Gates lottery, or asking when were we going to release their computer (ransomware). usually when they contacted us it was too late.
@@sungodniku They certainly think that of themselves, that is for sure. 🤩🤩

They tried to get my 73 year-old mom with this type of scam. Luckily, she caught on before it was too late. The youtubers (and there are several of them) that go after these scammers are saints.
I’m not a RUclipsr but they tried to scam my Moms office for data and I ended up sending them in a loop and calling them back all day it was so funny 😂😂. It’s actually fun fucking with them
Sad that they don't go after the corpos for exploitation and foreign lobbying to have zero labor laws in India with the same energy.
Only if these corpos paid fair wage, the call center problem wouldn't exist. Rockstar, a multi-billion dollar gaming company pays all it's QA testers in India the "fair market value wage" of 3k USD a year and apparently this is supposed to be "more than the market value". So ofcourse they're gonna pivot to something like joining a scamming call center in order to be able to afford a house in their lifetimes and actually put some food on the table for themselves.
So they scammed tens of thousands of dollars from each and they stained their hands and released cockroaches? How does that have any effect on their scam operation? If you really want to avenge them, shut them down and either steal their money or send them to jail.
effing yikes. totally terrible people that needs prison
@@N1c0T1n3__ The problem is they did stop, they created these call centers in India 20 years ago but the backlash from Americans caused them to shut down the legit legal call centers. So what tthey were left with was a huge population with advanced telecommunication and computer skills, who are used to making a decent living from the above average wages american corps paid. So it was natural for them to move to scamming.
I remember running into my Grandma's room diving at her phone because she was half-way done reading her SSN to a scammer. I remember she got a call once too, the scammer claimed to be my brother, had all his information, and was telling my Grandma he (pretending to be my brother) was in a car accident in New Mexico and needed money for medical expenses. It was fortunate I was there to stop all of it, but these scammers are serious pieces of shit. Whenever my Grandma gets a call, she can't tell if it's a scammer or a real call about her doctor appointments or insurance, etc. I hate that these scammer target the elderly. It's good to see that some scammers are getting karma and much love to those who are fighting them.
do insurances and hospitals actually call clients directly in America? Seems like a serious liability
The BS detector is the fist thing to go, so folks don't realize it. They can have all their other faculties, but still see a huge reduction in this skill. My mom is sharp as a tack, and not that old really (still working), but we already are involving me in anything big financial, because she has realized she can't detect BS the way she used to.
just now i got a call from my doc and i thought it was a scammer so i ignored it. its really annoying tbh scammers are idiots.
@@Tijuanabill It's mostly because to detect BS, you have to be aware of what is possible and older people usualy don't know that. Also, you tend to rely on stuff that you've learned and if you were not scammed before, you won't think about it.
@@mrkv4k Actually, no. I'm speaking of a very common medical condition, that has nothing to do with knowledge of technology. This can and WILL happen to us all eventually, no matter how tech savvy we are. This is science, not conjecture.
There’s a special place in hell for someone who would proceed to scam an old lady with cancer
Except they don't go to hell; they get reincarnated.

@Okurka. They will reincarnated and will be burdened with carrying on with the suffering never reaching enlightment and breaking the cycle. Unless of curse they seek guidance if given the opportunity.
If anyone wants to see that special place in hell where they go, watch kitbogas video "Scammers vs Impossible Password Game". Wouldn't doing that for eternity be the perfect punishment for those guys?
@@Okurka.reincarnated back into their true cockroach form.
People in comments screaming "THAT'S KITBOGA!" when they were talking about Bessie. No, that was an actual scam call made with an elderly person named Bessie, and they saved her from losing money.
And Kitboga's character is Rose.
But Kitboga does show exactly how scammy they are. He does troll them hard, but sometimes his characters are quite sympathetic, and I've never seen it stop one of the scammers. Some of them become even meaner even. Wild.
Being from Kolkata where these offices are located, I feel ashamed of these people. Me and my friends who worked in the IT sector quite close to these offices had often tipped the authorities about such practices. Like the video said, the police basically knows what's going on. But the Government is inept and refuses to take any action.
The locals here with any sort of internet knowledge also dislike the scammers. Just a bunch of scumbags.
If those call centers are raking in _that_ much money - odds are the officials are being bribed. I doubt officials and cops being bribed is just something that happens here in the U.S. - and my fellow Americans are naive as hell if they think it doesn't happen here. It does. Every day. It's called a "soft money" campaign contribution in most cases.
Don't worry, most people understand that these people don't represent where you live, and are a minority of bad people. Sadly, every country and culture has a few messed up people, but also loads of good people
Scammers are paying the police.
Maybe the govt is like " it's not our country men that got scammed, so there is no incentives for us to take action"
@@irmvai more like there is active monetary incentive for them to look the other way. It happens just the same in America it's just that massive corporations have the facade of legitimacy.

when I was in the military, a friend of mine came to work one day telling me about a part-time job he had gotten. This guy didn’t seem like a particular dumb guy, but after asking him some questions it was obvious that he was involved in a check cashing scam. When I told him, he thought I was wrong. I took him to a computer and pulled up a web page that described the scam he was involved with and finally was able to talk some sense into him.
Good for you and your friend. Though, what kind of scam is check cashing one? Check isn't used as much around here to have a scam sadly.
@@TempestaDominus Basically, all check cashing scams work on this principle:
Your bank trusts you (to some extent), so when you come in with a check, they give you the money.
They don't actually know whether the check is good yet. Will any money come? No idea, but they expect it to.
Now, you've cashed your check, you've gotten the money out, and you're now supposed to send some of that money elsewhere.
So maybe they send you a check for 20k, and ask you to take out 15k and send it, you keep 5k as a money handling fee.
You do that, and you think that you now have 5k more than you did when you started and they have moved their money or w/e.
Except those 20k that are in your account from the check? It's fake money. Once they vanish, you find that the only "real" transaction done is the part where you withdrew 15k of your money and sent it.
@@XCC23 ....People actually fall for that? Huh.
@@TempestaDominus it's a legit position I can show you if you want to CHECK it out
@@TempestaDominus yep. Sometimes it's "do this minor task for us, we'll pay you in check, oh no, we put a 0 too much, can you withdraw the amount that's too much and send it back to us?"
They deliberately target credulous old folks or people down on their luck for this, because yeah, 99% of the population does not fall for this
One time I was doing a dungeon with some people (in an MMORPG called Dofus) and something touched my foot, so I looked down and screamed because it was a pretty big scorpion, but I still had to help in the dungeon. I had moved my foot so the scorpion started walking around and I had to stop it before it went where I couldn't find it. I grabbed the nearest item (a plastic fork) and stabbed at it, pinning it to the floor. The fork wasn't IN the scorpion because it wasn't sharp, and the scorpion had a pretty strong back exoskeleton. So now I have 1 hand holding a fork on the ground, and the other hand needs to be finishing the dungeon. If I move the fork, the scorpion will run. So I'm sitting there for 45 minutes playing my game with 1 hand on the table and my other hand down towards the ground. After the dungeon was done, I finnaly.had time to think about how to fix the problem, and somehow I got the scorpion into a ziplock bag, and the next morning I took it into a store where some of the other people in the dungeon worked and showed it to them.
where do u live where scorpions r just running aroung
I had a similar story. It was summer vacation and I was playing Counter-Strike 1.5 wearing only underwear. During a gunfight I felt something was crawling on my foot/calf/leg. I looked down and saw a big German cockroach climbing up my leg. I quickly pat it off and focus back into the intense gunfight. I didn't scream or do any radical reaction. But MY GOD! The incoming ADRENALINE was so REAL. I felt my heart pumping so hard after my brain realized that "hey! a big cockroach just climbed my leg!"
Good thing is that, after this "close encounter incident", I kind of not afraid of cockroach anymore.

I live in the Philippines and I used to work for a call center that had an account (department) for different QuickBooks services/products. It is extremely exhausting to fight off these scammers. They often target QuickBooks users with Payroll services and then they call us to gain access. Unfortunately, as long as they have all the basic info and SSN, they can easily obtain and infiltrate your QuickBooks files and such.
Yes, these scammers are from India.
My grandpa gets these scam calls all the time, but he's smart enough to never fall for them. If anything, when he's bored, he will answer and just mess with them to see how long they will stay on the line. It's usually not long.
Per example: He gets A LOT of Amazon scam calls. While I've ordered things on Amazon for him (send it to his house), he doesn't have an Amazon account so he knows it's an instant scam.
Many times he will say to them "I'm having trouble hearing you as I have 2 hearing aids. Can you speak louder and in English so I can understand you better?" Most times, they hang up right here.
One scam call was somebody trying to sell him Viagra. Yeah, he loved messing with them.
Grandpa: "You want to sell me Viagra? What's that for?" (He knew just wanted them to say it)
Scammer: "Well it's for sex."
Grandpa: "Well, I'm a widower and so I won't need any Viagra, unless you're going to come and give me some sex."
* They hang up *
I think over the years, the spam calls have decreased.
My guess he's annoyed many of them that they removed him from their call list as they know he will never fall for it.
(Edit: Had to fix the line breaks since RUclips screwed them up and put A LOT of extra lines.)

I'm a Westerner who's been living in India for 10 years now. I'm looking at the young people sitting in those offices and got a pretty good idea of what kind of people they are. Relatively recent grads, unmarried, from low repute colleges - the max their parents could afford to send them to. They are educated enough to qualify for a job that requires English, but their schools don't carry the names to enable them for placement in any proper decent paying company. There are plenty of such young people in India and they often end up working as store clerks in malls or even as security guards (my building's security guard has an engineering degree from a small town college). Many families put huge pressure though on their kids to get an 'office job' which is technically seen above sales clerks and security guards. Why do they put that pressure? Because they aim to marry their kids off latest by age 25 and for that your kid - regardless of gender - better be earning and placed in a 'proper job' aka 'office job'. This is how some young people end up in offices like that. What you see here are bottom-of-the-barrel folks that couldn't be placed anywhere else and with their families sitting in their necks about getting a job fast so they can marry.
Doesn't make any of this shit right, of course. These companies need to be brought down. It's a joke the government turns such a blind eye to it. I'm pretty sure I know why too. India tends to have no issues whatsoever with any entity generating cash flow into the country. It's ridiculously easy to transfer money here. But god forbid you want to transfer anything out, even if it's your own money to your own foreign account. It's a huge headache. I guess if they acknowledged the problem, they fear they might actually have to reimburse people abroad. Though I'm really not sure about the legalities concerning the prosecution of international fraud.
But such videos are super important, cause if there's one thing the Indian government fears it's bad international press. They are super self-conscious about their reputation, especially in front of the West. Spread that shit far and wide and tag concerning Indian government officials if possible. They won't lift a finger for justice's sake or for moral reason, but if it's about their image suddenly a lot of things can happen.
About the call centers they couldn't manage to shut down despite informing the authorities... well... you know those call centers already pulled enough money to pay off the right people on a regular basis. Once you figure that, there is no point in contacting that layer or authority. You need to go one step up. But even then it can happen that whoever you contact will just go and attempt to collect 'their share' and if successful act as if nothing happened. So you'll need to continue going steps up until that guy's bribe level is above their pay grade.

"It'd be cool if banks could review large transfers and suspicious financial decisions"
Bro that's just called banking in Canada.... I haven't heard of a single bank that doesn't do that for much smaller amounts. I commissioned art from a guy in Mexico and they froze my account until they figured out what it was for.
A lot of countries have better bank security than the us.
In Germany for example, no legitimate actor will ever talk to you through the phone due to privacy laws, making scam calls incredibly obvious. Most banks offer free chargeback, where the customer is always right. For the chargeback to be reversed, the other party has to file a legal complaint and prove their case as well.
To bad Indian banks probably don't allow charge backs, or this issue could be nonexistent.

Or hear me out we use technology to help them.

thanks for sharing this with your community, this really needs to get out there everywhere because its really sad to hear about someone you know or family member fall for this sort of stuff.
As someone who has worked for a bank for a long time, I can tell you that the banks don't want their customers to get scammed either. Unfortunately because of federal regulation they can not withhold money from their clients for any reason. What's really sad about these situations is the phycological warfare going on during these interaction. These people getting scammed are truly convinced this is real, to the point of aggression. Its really cool to see people doing things like this, and Asmond's commentary is legendary!
Banks want to keep your money not have you spend it they want the old people to die so they can kept their money and keep getting interest on it by loaning it out they consider it their money,
I LOVE playing with these scam callers! I've been yelled at and threatened with jail time. Its hilarious to see how angry they get!
Same. Lol. There is one from Tennessee that tells you that you owe three thousand dollars on a credit card from 2 yrs ago. Scary part is they had all my info. I am on disability for a chronic illness and have no credit card. I told them I knew they were scammers and they had over 500 complaints online and warning people about them. Which was true. The guy freaked out. Threatening to SA me, call me 10 times a day, said I deserved my illness. I told him Thanks I recorded what he said, I didn't. Then he tried to apologize and I hung up and blocked them. Next day new number different person. Just hung up. It's really terrible and I bet older people fell for it and paid the money. They wouldn't even tell you what credit card it was or what the charge was. I don't know how they can live with themselves.

I'm usually very calm and don't like violence at all but these scammers man, they make my blood boil to the point I fantasize about smashing their heads into concrete. It's just so damn disgusting and sad to hear these poor old people be manipulated like that. Don't they stop to think how they would feel if someone did this to their parents or grandparents.. Maybe they think that everyone in the west is living in luxury and has all the money in the world so it doesn't matter or something. I'm just trying to understand how they can do this and sleep at night.

Scamers pretended to be my older friends mobile company, told him he had to pay $90 a month for this mobile account or they would fine him, they almost got him to he was so stressed they would take the money out of his bank account but like its a prepaid sim the man pays with cash he never gave them his bank details he never had to. Abvously sus right so I looked into it turned out that his provider doesnt even have a $90 plan.. Guy is close to 90yrs old, these older generations are so easyly scammed because people didnt used to be so f king evil its that simple the world is getting more and more cruel and twisted sadly.
Funny, just yesterday my mother was called by one of them. As she was willing to go through with the call, I overheard what was going on. I was tempted to grab the phone out of her hand shout some insults and hang off, but instead i just made her hang up. But it didn't end there, they called her like 4 times. She had to block the number, then she got called by a new number, and another new one. She had to block 4 numbers in the end just to end it.

I believe Mark Rober said "29 years combined", which would mean sum of the time they are operational now is 29 years... one is 12 years, another 11 if I remember correctly, which leaves third one to 6 years.
Mark Rober's other giltter bomb videos are a great watch. Also, they may not always do it, but there are banks that do inform older people of scams if they try to withdraw large amounts of money since they are suspicious.

Older people have money and are more trusting. Took forever to convince my dad not to answer the phone unless he knew the caller ID.
20:22 they are not dying for content, they are dying to save others.
My grandparents are very tech savvy. At least my grandmother was and my grandfather is in the know. He's like those youtubers that string the scammers along. My grandmother isn't with us anymore, but ironically her mother was very susceptible to these things.

Most banks do have systems in place that will alert both the bank and the account holder when an unusual amount is removed from the account, or if said amount is transferred or withdrawn from unusual locations or sources. The issue there, though, is that a lot of times the account holder has to actually manually activate these systems in their account, which isn’t gonna be done very often by elderly with no knowledge or experience with such technology.
These boys have my absolute respect, and my sub. Adapt and overcome, finish the mission. Bro, these guys were more effective then law enforcement at taking down these tools, this was some CIA ops ran by RUclipsrs. Ok maybe that's a bit much, but still, they rigged these scammers building like a mission impossible sting. Its damn impressive. Btw those crooks were talking about shooting them, the glitter boys should have absolutely used the bee's man. Just say'n.
the reason why the indian government isnt cracking down on this even if they could is simply because this is actually developing the country you take foreign money and convert it into indian money so it is a benefit as a while
So glad people are watching this video. Everytime I open youtube now I see someone reacting to it
This is so good!!! I’m glad ppl are out there trying to stop scammers and actually making progress! I’m definitely heading over to their videos!!! I absolutely love this!!!
I always tell my parents (in their 70s+) to never trust anyone who calls them saying their last 4 didgets in their ''id-number'' is leaked (Sweden). At lest every 2-3 months some scammer calls them too have them log into ''Bank ID'' by claming leaked numbers so they can steal whatever they have in their accounts. Im just so relived that they NEVER have fallen for this scam, but I'll keep telling them anyway to never trust someone on the phone, snailmail or email.
When I was in my first year of highschool after the school day had ended we got on the bus to head home and there was this dude panicking like crazy at the back of the bus turns out he "owed 50,000 to the IRS" which we don't have in NZ it was clearly a scam but the guy had no idea, we convinced him it was a scam but it was too late he had already sent 10,000 to these scammers, guy broke down crying when he found out it was a scam.
There is actually an easy way to stop this, but the phone companies make to much money allowing it, so it won't happen. Give the option to block calls from incoming calls that the caller-id doesn't match the actual source number. All incoming calls to a company have essentially metadata. This is source information, flags like caller-id block, caller-id etc. This is especially easier now versus 10 or 20 years ago since almost all carrier traffic is SIP based anymore. These companies spoof caller-id often of local known numbers and that is why they get through and blocking numbers doesn't work. Most phone systems actually have options like this built in, they just aren't used. The catch is phone companies turn around and can bill incoming carriers for calls they deliver from their systems. So Verizon is making millions billing the phone company in India that is sending the calls.
So much this. Only let real phones on the phone lines. If Twitter can verify, then so can the phone companies. It should just be that you can't fake your number...it has to be real. It can't be that hard. Also, these people aren't very smart, sometimes it says it me calling me. Surely that can't help their cause.
This is already a thing. My cell does this automatically. It'll show the local number and throw the real number in parentheses and block it.
This makes me feel like there are good people in this world.
11:25 - this sounds like someone is crafting a nice pair of concrete shoes for the receiver of that message.
Really scary. If they would have gotten a hold on that guy he may be dead now.
20:39 "and we don't even know why they are doing this" lmao
Love your reaction videos 🤣. You often get me to check others channels out. You got some great commentary always a good laugh. Also your very well spoken, no holding back 😁👍

I've delved into anti-scammer shenanigans and I love it intersecting with Mark Rober via his package-theft countering Glitter bomb series.
Already watched Mark's video, so I look forward to Asmon's reactions and commentary. I can tell it'll be good based on the thumbnail reaction to the rats. 🤣
Mesi is an absolute legend risking his wellbeing doing this hat's off to him!
Thank you 💓
Im surprised that when the bees got brought up they were more concerned with a bee getting out prematurely than the possibility of several of the scammers being allergic to bees and having a couple inadvertant murders on their hands.
Not all animals have weak animals in their groups.. that's the point of getting rid of the weak. Five topics to fix society via discussion:
-Anti-natalism vs Natalism
-The 3 basic needs/prenatal needs
Three things necessary for human evolution that are provided while in the womb which are; food, shelter and medical care.
-Platinum rule
Do whatever makes one happier unless it interferes with another persons ability to do the same.
-MBTI (research yours and connect with others)
-Art (pick one and get better at it!)
Kitboga is awesome at trolling these scammed.
Kitboga trolls them. Jim Browning makes them shit themselves.
All scambaiters working together
these people chose to sneak pranks in, if other groups were this passionate about getting at these people we all know much worse could have been snuck in
This was freaking insane, man. I'm amazed that these guys could pull this off.
The banks in the UK have cracked down massively - even limiting people from withdrawing or sending large amounts of cash without speaking to them first to ensure it isn't a scam.
if this was somehow made into a movie that released in theaters instead of youtube i bet it would have done fucking amazing
Asmongold - you do give us something - you make us smile and laugh - keep up your GREAT work
Why glitter bombs and roaches? Just send anthrax.
Mark Rober is the man!
I’m almost 58 and thankfully schooled in this. Had the classic att/direct tv call. I have them the wrong dob making me 59. He said “omg you don’t sound like such an old lady! You sound young like 30! You sound beautiful “ I’m like dude. You just called me old. F you. I messed with him a while and got bored. Never ever give them real info. Your name and address is likely totally public but for the love of god NEVER EVER EVEN IF YOU CALL THEM let them have control of your computer or phone. Never click a link. 99% like irs, Amazon etc won’t call you. Get an email? Call them from the actual website. It’s sad people think you can pay back with cards. Elderly get creamed so hard.
Marine level commitment during halo , bugs crawling on him Lmao
Mark Rober: "Guys I'm worried about your safety. Do you wanna carry through with this?"
Trilogy Media: "We can't. We'll never find trousers big enough for our balls if we don't finish the mission."
These scammers make my life hell as well. I work for the enrollment dept of one of the largest Medicare Advantage companies in the U.S. and so often these ppl think I'm fraud because of these terrible people.
If you or someone you know is in Medicare here's some tips, a. Ask me to prove myself. I will not be offended, in fact I LOVE these people because you are protecting yourself as you should be and not blindly accepting. Things you can ask me are for the Application Tracking Number, also called ATN or Confirmation number. (You will also need to be sure you gather this information from your broker to ensure mine matches yours.) The only people who will have this information are the people handling your application and this number is totally random with multiple possible formats. I can also tell you who your broker was (but will need a moment to pull that up as only paper applications may have the agents name written on it, and even that's not for sure. They ask will have the agents NPN or national producer number though, so I can look this up if you give me a moment.) I know the instinct is to hang up if I can't immediately answer but that just hurts yourself because I'm at the mercy of a database and if they are updating it, it could be slow at that moment.
I CANNOT validate my identity by telling you your date of birth, address, or anything ride about yourself. I can see it sure, but let's say I mis-dialed and called the wrong #, I would then be providing your protected information to a stranger and risking your identity be stolen, which I'm not willing to do. You do have the option of calling in yourself, but then your going to get a general customer service rep who will not be a knowledgeable about your issue as I am, especially if the issue is special enrollment periods or medicaid benefits. Before you fault them, those poor folks have to be helpful on far too many topics, claims, billing, enrollment, benefit coverage, demographic updates, provider listing, and 10,000 more topics. They are jacks of all trades but masters of none, whereas all I do all day every day is call people and resolve enrollment issues so I am a master of my corner of the Medicare universe
Also, be patient and not offended in the occasions we do call on a weekend. Weekends calls do not equal fraud, they equal we are in a busy enrollment period and I'm working EVERY DAY, ALL DAY to ensure you or your loved one has coverage when you need it, and try to get to you in time to submit a correction if needed. Before you tell at me for calling during dinner please understand I'm surviving on junk working hour 15 of my shift today and have 4 months more of the same in front of me. Sorry your dinner is interrupted but I haven't seen my nephews or eaten a proper meal in months, all to help YOU. Same with calling on the weekends. We don't work weekends unless it's a busy enrolment period like AEP, just be glad I'm calling you in time to resolve an issue before AEP ends and you lose your chance to apply for a plan your eligible for. Between October and April, be wary, ask questions, but also please be nice to your enrollment reps, until Medicare changes their system it sucks for all of us.
I wouldnt be suprised if Justin Trudeau worked in an indian call center
44:30 and you obviously didn't remember in the next video what happened to that Perfect Memory
0:28 literal world war sniper ass action. He would let a snake go across him just to get his shot
