I could not have done this without you all. Thank you to Mark and Jim for the partnership on this. I am so proud of what we all accomplished together.
Sadly, I can't watch the premiere due to time zones, but from what I've seen already from Mark and Jim's videos I'm sure this will be brilliant.
Hey can I please get a shout out?
@@AlphaEchoGray same here ☹️
Hi pierogi!
I'm confused. I thought this was supposed to be out on Saturday? Was it members only?
Crying Steven was incredible. “Son don’t cry! I didn’t raise you that way.” 😂

"This is unbecoming of you" 😂
Love your things man keep doing your things
Ur amazing mark!keep up the good work
nice
My coworkers mother committed suicide after she lost her money to a scammer who pretended to be in an relationship with her, it was devastating. Thank you for all you do, you really are making a difference.
fuck thats horrible
Suicide over money ? You’re kidding me? I feel bad for your coworker
@@JoshTheFrosch07 imagine thinking you have a soulmate just to find out it's been a lie the whole time and now you're broke.
@@JoshTheFrosch07 You must never have had real, actual money problems.
OMG, that's heartbreaking. Poor woman. :(
My wife just happens to be my carer as I've been battling cancer for a long time now so she has lots of time to spare. With that being said she gets at least 8 or 9 calls a week from these scammers so in her down time it's one of her favourite hobbies to answer these calls and screw around with them. She says that the longer she can keep that scammer talking to her it takes that person's time ahd attention away from a vulnerable victim. If she can keep each scammer engaged for 10 minutes she's possibly saved around 8 or 9 victims a week 🤔. I'm so proud of my wife and her empathy towards the vulnerable, i love her so much.
It’s interesting how scammers target mostly United States citizens! they also seem to pick specific locations and people more than others
Very sorry for all you’re going through praying for your health and safety. ❤
It’s the USA, the UK and Australia they target most of the time. I get these calls all the time. I work in IT but as a female they automatically think I’m computer illiterate so I can play them like a fiddle 😂. And also this sounds terrible but Australia & particularly Melbourne has a high Indian population so I know how to read them. In saying that I do work other a lot of amazing Indians so we should tar everyone with the same brush. Just like aussies don’t say shrimp on the barbie or G’day to everyone we meet.
Get well soon my friend
She's a keeper 🥰
Seeing her get out of her car with glitter all over her jeans as she explains what happened to the police, is gold
The FBI needs to recruit this guy, so that he can assemble a anti-scam task force.
Yeah but then he couldn’t stream his work and we’d miss him ☹️
The law will stop this task force for real because of "legal limitations". It's just sad that what Jim Browning is doing is illegal (as well as the glitter bombs that Mark Rober created). Not to mention that the suspects are outside of US jurisdiction.
@kenshi jin no, it is worse.
This person is most likely a lawyer. They are trained to lie.
Hence why politicians get away with stealing BILLIONS if not TRILLIONS of dollars, and no glitterbombs over there, ey?
Aren't we all happy that it is the system we live in that causes people to act like they do?
If..IF they weren’t corrupted. Michigan gov. Kidnap hoax. 1/6. Yeah.
The could really tap into his passion so he would probably work for cheap in comparison to what they're used to paying out. It's kind of a golden opportunity
I was at my 82 year old mum's house when the phone rang. She listened briefly, screamed with laughter and then slammed the phone down. I asked her who it was. "Scammers", she replied. Bit by bit, the word is getting out. The times, they are a changing . . .
Love your Mom! I am also 82 and scammers ...watch your butts! There are Gangs of Old Ladies (Monty Python)out there and we take no prisoners !
@@marlenedee5134 and we love you! Brilliant. No surrender.
@@marlenedee5134 lol, Hell’s Grannies strike back
Good to hear.
They aren’t changing fast enough people are STILL getting scammed
Thank you. Ive fallen victim to guys like this a couple times. I am a mentally disabled vet with little to no support structure so sometimes its really easy to be desperate and gullible. Thank you and to anyone like you who fight these scumbags who prey on people who have a hard time telling friend from foe
Make sure to change your phone number and email. If you haven’t already.
As your old number and email likely are being spread around by scammers.
The scammers often sell lists of information of people they managed to scam to other scammers.
And those lists are often used to target people with other scams.
Stay safe out there
Bless we are invisible to the rest of normal society.
I hope things get better for you, bless you, you have a right to be happy.
Thank you Mark, Jim, and Pierogi for continuing to push on and fight the scumbag scammers all around the globe. 👍
Thanks, man.
My mum is 70. She has never lost any money to a scammer. She baits them with innocence and fear and then calmly says, just hold the line a second, I'm on a conference call with the Australian Federal Police! Cracks me up! Good work guys!
There's a video here on You Tube where a scammer who pretends to be from the IRS calls a sheriff at work and threatens to have her arrested. It's hilarious.
Love her style. That's great!
@@greyeaglem i watched it the video waas so funnyy 😂😂

Hello I myself am an Indian and am so disgusted that crimes like these happen and nobody complains about these scammers. I am truly asking forgiveness for our negligence towards scammers.

Challenge failed! lol
Since I found Jim and others, I've started answering scam calls just to waste their time. Because I know it costs them money and while they're on the phone with me, they aren't harassing some elderly person. You aren't alone. We are here and we are trying. I direct everyone I can to channels like this. I know it's a drop in a bucket, but if you get enough drops you can fill an ocean.
My people, Cherokee have a saying, each person is a drop of water that go to make rivers, lakes and oceans. We gang up and stop this mess. It breaks my heart to see good people robbed of life savings, we are all trying to survive. I hate thieves of any sort
Before I hang up, I would also scream on top of my voice. Hope they will enjoy the ringing in their ears.
@@littlebean8856 That's hilarious- best way to end the call for these scammers🥳
Lol I have such a good time pretending to be an old lady
It costs them a lot, and it is a good step forward, you must write a paper with scamming call details, how is it done, and send it to your neighbors and tell them to pass it on.
Also, share these videos with them.
Thank you! My 85 yr old father was scammed out of 2000.00 in the infamous grandparent scam. He was so embarrassed that he fell for it, so I thank you for your dedication to getting justice for seniors, and everyone that gets caught in these scams. I’m so happy for you that you were able to see your work in action. God bless.❤
This is the first glitterbomb video I’ve watched. You are such a kind soul what you, the team and all the others do to help prevent these horrible lazy, greedy people from swindling others is AMAZING!!
You would enjoy Mark Rober's channel!
Bruh. Mark, Jim and Pierogi together is legit a superhero squad.
we need kitboga in the squad
I am amazed! The need a show on t.v. a.s.a.p
It would not at all surprise me if the companies backing these scammers don't eventually send well armed goon squads to take these guy's out permanently.

My father lost $400K to scammers. In one scam, he had high end purses, shoes, and cash sent to a convention center in TX. I contacted the convention center who refused to investigate and then called the local police who said they didnt have any manpower to put on this. No one wants to help, glad you are out there trying to educate people.
that much? thats a LOT
WTF. Just go to Twitter and spit this out. We, the public, will do the work.

I remember when scammers called my mom telling her my sister was arrested in New Mexico and she needed to pay the bail money. My sister was 11 at the time.
How did they know that she'd been arrested and what had she done?
@@lj7169 That's the point, she hadn't. she was 11 years old and we lived in a different state. my mom had sent us to school that morning. That's just something funny about scammers that has stuck with me to this day, even almost 2 decades later because of how ridiculous and funny some scammers calls can be.
My teacher used to show us scam emails she got by pointing out grammatical errors and it was always a good time
Some idiot tried to pull that scam on my grandfather, except he tried pretending that it was about me while I was sitting in his living room. He had a lot of fun with that call, LOL.
Scammers did this years ago with my grandparents in Colorado. They said that I had gotten in big trouble and had been arrested in Guadalajara. They said that I had told them to call his Grandma, which she then responded that that is bullshit, because I never call her that, she is my Nana. Most epic takedown, because my Papa was about to give in and she went full badass on them.
A big Thank you from India, Perogi, Mark, Jim, and many others who do this! We need more soldiers like you!
I'm so glad you managed to save so many people and the lives you have saved thank you.
This is better than anything on TV. Why isn't this a Netflix series?
Cause there isnt enough exposure for Netflix to try and milk for money
Because they don't really care, because they are part of a larger organisation that is involved in far, far bigger and more familiar (but not recognised) scams!
It's not on Netflix but Jim Browning was on BBC's Panorama on Tech scams and counter-scammers (Title of the show is "Spying on the Scammers" on BBC One)
Make a series & pitch it to them. Let me be a bank phone rep in it.
Because a big company name doesn’t mean quality
My mom is 83 years old, and she knows to ALWAYS call me whenever anything like this comes up on her phone or computer. I've drummed it into her head that no company or government agency would EVER call her. She's watched me mess with these idiots, and we always have a good laugh. :D
Keep up the great work guys!
Lol tax agency will sometimes call to remind you that a late payment is due...but that's all, they are not going to ask anything further
@@JD-zf3yv I know the Canadian government will only use snail mail.
Edit: in my experience, anyway.
They've started by texts now,recruiting men and women in your area to tell you its real. Its all so they can't hide behind there accent anymore! 🤬
@@emmaphilpott Lol I received some calls (from collection department I think) for one of the companies I managed...they asked if we can make a payment plan...also, they will call to confirm the bank info so that they can make sure to deposit some refunds or credits to the right account but they will tell you the bank info and all you need to say is yes or no...you don't have to provide anything...they will also call in case they want to audit something but usually you will receive a mail in advance...so what I'm trying to say is that government do call people but they don't need people to provide any information during the call
@@JD-zf3yv Which tax agency is that? The IRS makes it clear they do not call people on the phone.
Up here in Canada, we really enjoy watching your videos. I wish someone in government would get scammed and then maybe they would not only take you seriously but also fund you and your team to continue what you guys are obviously very good at, protecting the public and shutting down scammers. Bravo 🎉👍🏼 Keep it up
We thank you. It’s a great shame and a disgrace that governments don’t have tougher departments dealing with this robbery.
Jim, Pierogi, Mark, and Vivian are saving the world, one glitter bomb at a time
I love how u added Vivian in that too lol
And Kitboga (except he wasn't part of this collab)
A couple weeks ago my wife got a call and I kept hearing her say "No, I'm not authorizing the charge". I asked who it was and she said "Amazon, and someone was trying to charge her account for an i-phone". I got closer and I could hear the "Amazon representative" speaking in an Indian accent. Oh boy! I told my wife it's a scam, hang up. She didnt' hang up. I said, they are going to want you to go to your computer and log into something...don't do it. Next thing you know, they wanted her to go to her computer. I told her to "hang up and call Amazon service yourself". She finally hung up, called Amazon and found no such pending charge. I just want to say THANK YOU for these videos as they've taught me enough on how these scammers work to sniff this one out right away. I'm just happy I was nearby when it happened or else I'd have a different ending to this story.
Whew! Good job you were there.
People who are legit but have an Indian accent legit can't work in the phone service department 💀
@@lbgamer24 nicee.
it's a huge flag when someone tells you to keep secret from your husband and send a large amount of money

In 2012 I was working in a Walgreens. We had an older gentleman who kept coming in buying gift cards. Shortly there after we got the policy come down that we had to start asking questions when large amounts of gift cards were purchased by a single customer. So when he came in, I asked him why he was buying these cards. He told me that the FBI was demanding payment out of him and that they'd contacted him by phone. I was the one who had to tell him that he was being robbed. He looked so defeated.
It disgusts me that almost a decade later, not only is this crap still happening, but it seems like it's a growth industry. The government needs to wake up. These criminal networks need to get shut down.
EDIT: I just want to make it clear, from what I gathered out of what he eventually told me, it had seemed like they were running a different scam on him, but he was refusing to pay believing it to be a scam. So they were pretending to be the FBI to put pressure on him.
As if you'd be stupid enough to believe a government law enforcement agency needs payment from you via gift cards. That was natural selection at work. Still terrible it had to happen to someone though
Yep, the States and Feds need to publish public notices on TV and Radio and Internet and Print on a regular basis to help our unaware seniors get informed.
@@willferrellagain People are vulnerable and these thieves target that demographic. Mark Rober explained in his video that he's working with local police departments, the FBI, Justice Department, and Homeland Security to expose this. I'm willing to assume that while law enforcement knew about these scams, they probably knew very little about its operations. What Mark, Jim Browning, and Pierogi did will be an immeasurably huge help for them.
Yeah, I watch some MeTV, GetTv, AntennaTV, Cozi. They show tons of life insurance ads, tons of medicare ads, etc. But not once do I remember any kind of ad or notice warning about these piece of shite scammers.
@@willferrellagain something else that came to mind too is technology can be hard if you're not used to it. Lately my family's been getting these texts from "Amazon" saying that we "won" something valuable, from Air Pods to a new computer and anything else. I accidentally opened one of those and immediately realized my mistake. When my mom told me about that, I walked her through how to just delete the texts and leaving them unread. As Mark explained in his video, the most important thing for these scammers at that point is knowing which numbers were legit, so the calls and texts would continue to come in. If I gave you a book in Korean and never bothered to teach you how to speak or read Korean, then it wouldn't be your fault that you couldn't read Korean. Don't be so quick to pass on judgment, even when hiding behind a fake RUclips name.
I LOVE that she still had all that glitter on her while talking to the police. Beautiful moment.
"No officer, I had nothing to do with it. You must be looking for somebody else who is covered in glitter."
Caught Red Handed
Actually watched the video from Rober on her and they show her face and the policeman asks her where did the glitter come from and she says I don't know as she tries to wipe it off her pants. Part of his Glitter Box 4.0 video.
Dudes pants are ridiculous.

My grandmother almost got taken in by a phone scam back in 1998 or 99. She was living on Social Security and they did their best to get every bit of money she had left in her savings. The worst part was that it involved me. They called her and told her that they were me, and that I had been arrested in Canada. Her hearing wasn't great, so it wasn't hard to trick her into believing that she was talking to her grandson. I needed her to send $2500 so I could get out of jail, please, please don't tell my parents. She went as far as to prepare the Western Union payment (to a location in Ontario somewhere, so no, not all Canadians are nice...), then decided to get my number from my parents and double check (I was in college at the time, before cell phones were really a thing, and she didn't have my school number). So I got a very confusing call from her and luckily was able to let her know that it wasn't me and please don't send the money. I also told her about sending money by Western Union in general (i.e. don't ever do it unless you know exactly what you're doing).
I've never been so mad in my life - if I had had a way to find them in Ontario I suspect that my brother and I would have taken a field trip to increase their violent crime rate a bit.
I hope they all rot in hell they are relentless
I've seen this happen to family too, luckily the bank knew what was going on and refused to send it.
sounds like you came up with a petty plan to scam your own grandma and the guilt still lives with you.
@@onetime7214 idiot
Well there are actual Canadians and then there are people who just moved there.
I’m so happy I found your channel. Can’t thank you enough for all the work you do! I’ll be sharing with all my friends!
Pierogi, mate there are not enough words to describe the work you do, you are a champion…. Keep fighting the fight, one day the right people will listen, you are saving lives and livelihoods…. Well done mate, just well done
This video is so haunting. My grandma received a call from “me” asking her to send me money because I had gotten arrested and I didn’t want my wife to know. I’m so thankful the guy at the bank saw it for the scam it was and had her call me first. It’s also haunting knowing that that package went to a town close to where I live...
That is so f'd up, wow.
The same thing happened to someone in a group chat with me. They called his grandma pretending to be him and told her he’s injured and out of town and needs to be sent money to pay for medical bills and transportation
Same thing with my brother and grandmother they said he was in a canadian jail.
How little do you see your grandmothers that they would actually believe it was you?
@@elijahgavin6706 Well at that time he was in college so probably 2-3 times a month. But we live nowhere even near Canada. She swore up and down that she spoke to my brother himself on the phone along with the "lawyer" was helping him get out.
This feels like a series of continuous episodes from Flash, Arrow and Supergirl from back in the day in the form of Mark, Jim and Perogi.

You can tell an old person 1,000 times NOT TO ANSWER OR CALL BACK these scammers, but they always do. It’s maddening that older people KEEP DOING IT.
Yeah we laugh at how ridiculous it all looks but I can also relate having fallen for a scam before ( it was very different, my details being given away by a repair garage after a car accident, and then quickly being called by a accident recovery company pretending to be requested by insurance providers) but at the end of the day if your in a bad situation, and some one is calling to offer aid in any form, it's very easy to get swept along even when the details don't add up.
Thank s a lot to all of your team , fortunately old ladies were lucky to have this program to help them,BRAVO!!!

Thank you for the things you do to protect us. I am a 72 year old man with no computer skills and knowing that someone with skills is fighting for me and my wife is very comforting. I have been scammed and it happened just like you said, cost me 500.00 to unlock my computer. To see that person in front of the cop covered with glitter was worth a lot of satisfaction for us. Thank you again!
I’m sorry that happened to you!
Totally! I'm a 73 year old widow, who was SCAMMED twice in four days. They took $500.** from my credit card. But thankfully my son came from another state to help save my bank account. They were so patient & sounded so sincere. It is sickening how those people take & take & take. Personally I'd love for them to be arrested & prosecuted for each & every Scam they have pulled. Not that a roof over their heads, food in their bellies, & healthcare are actually that bad for them. They must have no remorse for the pain & suffering that they cause.
I thank you for all the information that you provided. Couple years ago my daughter (she is a young disabled adult) and myself almost got scammed. It took me a little while to realize what was happening, but my heart goes to the other people that did not. Thanks again!
You are the first person that actually explains in detail so that we can understand. Thank you 🙏🏻
As a retired widow I get tons of these calls, but thanks to you I know what to do now. Can't thank you enough!
Just change your number, someone added it to their database
When my husband died, I was inundated with calls. Everything from computer scams to psychics telling me they had a message from my husband. These predators comb the obituaries for marks. I think the only person beneath these people would be a paedophile.

I've been watching your videos for quite a while and I would like to give my thanks for the fine work that you and the rest of this amazing community put forth. I know that this is a personal endeavor for you and the compassion with which you approach victims is always heartwarming. Rather than offer just my thanks, I would like to offer my time as well.

In the meantime, keep fighting the good fight sir!
Please go after the people that CONSTANTLY call about "my car's extended warranty"
Those folks are devious. They spoof the phone number's origin to match the area code and city code so it looks like a local call. I couldn't help but laugh when my phone called itself (the displayed number was my actual phone number because the 1/10000 chance of a four-digit number matching came up. I should've played the lottery that night.
I tell them I just had repairs done and am so glad my warranty hasn't expired yet. I tell them I'm going to send them the bills. I quit getting those calls, but at the time I drove an 18 year old Buick.
Yes please do. I’m tired of cussing these fools out.
We have one in Ireland that’s “your identification has been used for money laundering and drug trafficking and there’s a warrant for your arrest”
I have so much fun with those guys. I sometimes get them going for 5-10 minutes before telling them it’s weird that they believed me when I said I have a 2018 Lamborghini, because I don’t.
I am from India and these scammers are really a big black scar on our land.
I wish India had the resources to properly go after and shut this garbage down. From the way other commenters have explained, the police in most of the areas these call centers setup simply don’t have the resources or manpower to go after these people. Even when Jim Browning sends them direct addresses.
They can afford a space program, so they can catch scammers.
There is whole hidden black economy, why are you saying its a scar. Everyone is making money
@@user-me8hc3bs7i because the police in India by and large are corrupt
@@Lectrosoul I am from India, and I have to agree, you're right
A collaboration of the most AWESOME people in the world. Thanks for being "the heroes we need"...
I love Vivvian and Pierogi!! I love to watch you guys make the bad guys 😢🤣
Started at Mark Rober, then Jim, and then here. Now I'm just waiting for the scammer to upload a video about this.
I thought Jim said the guy wasn't even a scammer? And had a video of the woman they suspected was actually supposed to get the package? Am I wrong?
@@do_gotcha nah that’s the Airbnb owner this woman was the other one featured on Jim’s channel
@@do_gotcha The one that they got at last were the supervisor, pretty sure. I mean, she was also a kind of scammer.. Well it's just a joke so yeah.
There is also another person called Kitboga he also does stuff like this
@@do_gotcha Mark in his video mentioned they accidentally caught the AirB&B homeowner in the crossfire, the first time they tried to counter a scam, though why that guy opened the package himself is slightly suspicious...
However, the woman here who opened the package was a super, I believe, and so far most of the people they've hit have been the mules and the mule supers. While they aren't the actual scammers, they are a part of the operations. Because of the need to check on the package and possibly launder the cash before sending it on to the guys in India, I don't think the glitter bomb trick will make it further than a super.
Regardless, Mark did mention that he, Jim, and Pierogi are continuing to work with various investigative agencies here and in India to take out more of these scammer operations, and may possibly have an update series of videos in the next few months or so.
great work, I wish their punishment could be much worse, my dad was a former DEA special agent and as foreign born person he spoke with an accent. I found him one day having a conversation like this with someone on the phone when he was in his 70's and I almost freaked out. I made him put the call on mute and I started to stop him when he explained that he keeps them on the phone for hours and keeps messing up their instructions and making them repeat themselves. he was scamming them and said the more time he held them on the call, the less time they were scamming someone else. he would then turn over the names and addresses and phone numbers and his notes to the local PD. this was his retirement entertainment! he's passed now but I will never forget that. thanks for all your doing and please keep it up. be well.
Unfortunately Mark Rober does harmless pranks but he hopes this teaches people about their choices.
@@darkessraven If only fart spray was worse than getting sprayed by a pack of skunks. If t he glue was that really sticky kind that is a b***h ,and had bright permanent dye, to get off the mules' hands and no way to avoid getting their hands into it that also would be brilliant.
@@martina5296add something like glow in the dark/ uv reactive powder/or ac system dye mixed in to the glue. And for added stink effect add some gm differential friction modifier to the glue and skunk spray sprayers that stuff is about as nasty as actual skunk spray and doesn't wash off even with gojo, nor veggie oil and dish soap if you get it on you... you will smell it for a long time.
We need more people like this. I can't explain how much there needs to be more caution on the use of the internet. I believe this is a absolute new form of authority. Happy you are bringing awareness to this; and possibly to other mediums of cyber unethical matters.
I love you guys for doing what the police isn't doing. I've had so many of these scam calls that made me think they might have stolen my personal information. Great job and keep it up
Off topic, but I wonder if any of the potential victims ever just said, when advised that they were overpaid, "Sucks to be you!" and hung up the phone.
That's exactly what I'd do. Of course there isn't any payment at all, but it'd be fun.
I wonder what the other reply was?
Right I mean that's what id do (not that id ever go as far as letting them have access to my devices) but I mean yeah “tough luck kiddo, thanks for 3 years rent/mortgage”
@@JohnJonesBilly From the videos i've watched. It seems like these scammers tend to target the elderly, naïve, and/or very trusting type of people. That's why they're able to get away with stuff like this. The type of person that would just hang up the phone would unlikely ever get very far in their scam to begin with.... It's such a shame
@@lamorenalindacopswife So well said and yes, so sad. The people who have a good and caring heart are prayed upon by these parasites. It's no wonder people helping strangers has become for more rare, and that is disappointing.
With as many times scammers have called you, one would think that they wouldn’t call your phone number anymore.
There is a list of phone numbers that gets sold from one scamming operation to another one. That's why they keep calling.
You guys are AWESOME!! This makes me furious ppl are being scammed like this! Thank you for your work!
Watching again 2 years after this posted and you’re almost at 7 million subbies. That shows what a difference you’re making. Keep up the fight. We’re behind you! 💪🏼✊🏼
My mother and I were victims of a scam and lost money. When we told the police, they told us it was our fault and did nothing about it. No one helped us, so I feel happy when I see your videos, for once there's someone who makes something about it and don't blame the victims, but explain them how to be prepared.
Thanks for everything, you are a hero!
Very honestly, the police is right on that one.
What are they suposed to do about it? It would take weeks to trace down this 1 guy. Not really a high priority for the police.
Can i give a future hint? If anything (mail, chats or phonecalls) asking for your Pin codes, bank numbers or ANY personal info. Just don't do it.
I fallen for it 1 time because i was dumb. But i blocked my bank pas in less then 10 minutes.
If you don't trust ANYTHING about the mail or phonecall you get. Cut it off
Since most of the scams are run from India, there is literally nothing the police can do about them. They might as well be from the moon.
Sure it was yur fault, Luna. You should be brighter and smarter.😠
Whaaaaatttt. The police being useless??? Noooo never !!+
At the moment you give these guys access to your computer and then sending them the money the request , you are the only responsible !! Let’s stop blaming the police for some dumb things that people do !! And Some people needs to learn that way !! 🤷🏻♂️
Joke's on the scammers. I never answer my phone unless it's someone in my contacts because I have severe anxiety.
A good reminder is scammers dont leave voicemails. So as someone with the same anxiety rules I know number than leaves voicemails can be called
Oof
hahaha, ME TO!!!
I feel this in my soul
@@UrbanHermitKat Scammers leave voicemails all the time, that's how they get the victims to call back.
I have 5 scammer voicemails in my phone right now.
A great service to humanity. Good to know that are decent folk like y'all out there!
I think that you should write and submit articles to publications, geared towards senior citizens. AARP, etc. You could reach a LOT of the most vulnerable people, hopefully BEFORE they are targeted.
innocent person: are you a scammer
Scammer: no no I'm here to help
2 minutes later
Scammer: YOU NEED TO SEND ME THAT MONEY NOW!!
Jim Mark and Pierogi: give their money back you scammer
@@skm8838 scammer phone line: I'm sorry this number no longer exists please leave a message.
@@mikeschlager4581 Money package: HELLO!!! (Splashes glitter)
Also the scammer mins later: WHY DID YOU REDEEEEM?
Sorry you gave me the free money.. bye!!
My favorite thing to do is answer in my best Liam Neeson voice with "code word is sparrow, how do you reply" usually they ask "what?" "This is a private government number, code word is sparrow, how do you reply?!" "how do you reply!!!" "Agents are being dispatched to your location, how do you reply!!!" They always hang up.
LOL, I'll have to remember that one for next time!
Hahaha! The codeword is sparrow how do you reply, I love it. I hope I remember it. I'll steal it, I'll use it on everyone! (no scammer ever calls here)
Now I want to see a video of this for some reason.
I’ve pretended to be a scammer to get scammers to hang up. I usually insist to be Microsoft tech support and that their computer has a virus with a bad accent. They don’t stay on the phone long.
That is too funny
I really thank yall so much keep up the good work, i shared this with others and will began share everything i am learning with others
Thanks for all the work you do to help bring justice!
I always say, "just a minute", put the phone down, walk away, and let them rack up their phone bill waiting...It's not much but every little helps.
Thank you all so much for fighting the good fight, guys!
Great idea! 🤔
Genius
It's a computer call for many of them.
@@LordMysticalBeast - Even so, their wasting there time/bandwidth (and not calling someone else)
Do the 1st part in Rosie Green's comment = tell them to wait, put phone down... Then hack and trace the original IP address too and give the info to proper authorities. I mean you got to think - FBI and Homeland are already collaborating with international authorities, maybe even Interpol.
Honestly, this is the only channel I would ever consider joining and even backing on patreon. The work this man does benefits us common folk. He could be the one to save your grandma from a scammer one day.
Yes, the number of hours he puts into one scammer, for the sake of mankind! How many people spend 3-4 hours of their day on the phone with a scammer, collecting evidence, and then spending hours calling up victims to tell them that they were scammed? That's a lot of time to dedicate, with a strong desire in his heart.
Check out Jim Browning channel
I will be one day
I will be checking out Jim Browning 😊.
yeah dude! I can't argue with that.
I've recently found SP, but I've fallen in love with this channel. You do good work. My grandmother actually got scammed a couple of years ago, she was able to get her money back but there are so many who don't.
Thank you for doing what you do ❤
Im really glad theres people like these out here helping people
“I didn’t raise you this way” Lol!
I am an Indian and I am ashamed at these people who are scamming and destroying innocent people. At the same time I couldn't be more proud of the job you guys are doing to stop it. God bless!
Don't feel too ashamed. There are terrible people in every country. See their U.S. collaborators? Shame to all of those who commit scams, fauds and thefts. I don't feel that an honest person should ever feel ashamed for someone else's freely chosen evil acts.
@@eavening4149 The point that the Indian guy was trying to make is that they make a really bad reputation for Indians as a whole, to the point that people get literal PTSD from hearing an Indian voice.
@@Vortex__24 I'm so sorry to hear that someone may have experienced this! Need a counter campaign of all the wonderful culture and beautiful and kind people in Inida to counter the bad actor's poisoning influence on global impressions of Indians.
@@Vortex__24 This is true. Nearly every scam seems to be coming from India now. I'm at the point where I don't trust ANYONE with an Indian accent.

Thank you so much for the work you do.I appreciate this content and all of your hard work!
Thank you! I came from Mark's channel and found yours.
Cheers for what you do.
Very high production quality, respect to ya! x))
Yes :)
I agree he puts a lot of hard work in this
Yooooooo Vladmir the Russian hacker!!! I love your work
Woot, all you guys are my favorites, hah
jk
It's horrible that scammers like these exist on this planet, but what is great is that people like Pierogi and Mark Rober are there to help people, and we need more people like them in this world.
Scammers like these exist
Don't forget Jim Browning
Jim Browning has dismantled many of these scams, he definitely has the most effective methods.
Also thank Jim Browning. Jim was able to get in touch with the victims and help get their money back.
And kitboga...he's hilarious!
I'm very proud and Thankful for you all. Please keep up the AWESOME WORK!
You guys do fantastic work! The world needs more people like you guys. You, Mark & Jim.
Thank you.
heroes dont always wear capes.
sometimes they just glitterbomb some scammers.
What amazes me - is YOU can do this, yet the police/FBI/CIA/every other alphabet organization can't do it? It just goes to show that they aren't even trying to stop it. Thank you for what you are doing on this! Please keep doing it!
Very true.
How do you know they aren't? There's no possible way to stop all scammers. A family member worked for a certain organization and I can assure you, they do try to stop scammers, however there's no way to stop it completely.
Youd be the first to complain about a tax increase for more resources.
They're too busy overthrowing "socialist" governments and planning the next war on a poverty-stricken country with lots of oil
I've got a friend who works for the Australian Federal Police and they ARE trying to stop these people, but it's pretty much the same as trying to destroy Mount Everest using a teaspoon.
I love your show honestly. I took a 2 year course in college for computer systems technicians and you have refreshed my memory on what type of work your doing. Keep it up. I love it
The Vivian segment was gold.
