    This video shows how their scam works and how they manage to get their website and phone number at the top of Google's search results.

      @cam-tv5rb 4 года назад +24

      Lots of Indians use "means" as a filler word. They aren't actually trying to define what it means...they are just using that as a connector word to get to the next thing they need to say because they're interpreting the English in their head. We would say "you know" or "like". Because the person he was talking to hesitated, he thought he needed to interpret what he had said.

    • @janruudschutrups9382
      @janruudschutrups9382 4 года назад +7

      @BartJ583 No, you misunderstand my meaning; he should NOT have said "someone in Mexico", that is my point. Saying someone in Mexico is therefore a Mexican is false. Someone FROM Mexico is a Mexican is the correct phrase here.

    These videos make me feel so guilty. Before I knew about these scams, my mom asked me to look up Microsoft support back when Hotmail was a big thing cause she lost her password. I gave her the first number that showed up. She called and they did the classic event viewer trick and at the time I had no idea what it was. They were going to charge her $200 and asked for her credit card. She didn't 100% trust them so she said it's not with her right now. They said they can start to remove the virus/malware now and she can provide it later. She said ok and they said to keep her pc on and call back when she gets the card. We stood there and watched them do a bunch of cmd things that probably weren't doing anything other than showing information. I had a bad feeling about it from the start. My gut told me that something isn't right here. My mom said I don't like this and I said neither do I. We decided to unplug the computer. They called back and we never answered. Thank god we knew something wasn't right otherwise she would of be scammed $200 or more. The reason they make me feel guilty is that although it didn't happen, it was very close and I was the one who gave her the number.

    The only time we connected with anything, it was to configure a router which was rare. Even then, we never had to use customer info because we were at the head end of the connection. We also never went into customers computers, just worked on the router.

      One of the running patterns in the scamming underworld is often the deliberate usage of bad grammar/punctuation, dodgy names, and otherwise obvious red flags. All this to weed out all the people smart enough to not proceed with the scam. They don't want the people who notice stupid things, they want the elderly, the naive, the uneducated and the careless. On my corporate e-mail I see hundreds of scam and spam messages every day, every now and then accountants drop by to ask if the invoice message we got is legit. A message sent by (supposedly) female sales rep who interchangeably uses male and female pronouns, misspelled company name, misplaced comas and periods. Every now and then you might think the accountants deserve to get hacked for being this stupid, but then again they're in it for the pdf file so they can book it - they never cared about IT, social engineering and how it all can be exploited. So... western name but Indian accent? Whoever falls for that is someone they see most fit to exploit.

    Why don't you make a scamming page or an email phishing scam, basically any method they use and instead of scamming you tell people quicky how scams work and how to never fall for them.
    This way you literally teach the people who are most liable to get scammed.
