    I repair PCs, I had one very upset customer who had been scammed, about £400 to install malwarebytes and some other free software, this particular person was reasonably proficient and knowledgeable about potential scams, but still got caught.
    The distress caused is severe, she was almost in tears, and hugged me when I assured her that they had only installed some free software. She actually got refunded by her bank.
    Keep up the good work and expose these Bastards.

This process however, can be abused, which is the reason why places such as Steam will will ban you for getting a charge back on their stores.

You know fully well that they are lying or trying to scam you, but they just keep trying harder when confronted, and get aggressive and try to make you out to be the problem. I had a few interactions like that and it is quite worrying that there's people like that living freely in our society.

      But, based on their RUclips popularity, there's definitely enough interest in scambaiters and their excellent work to suggest that a documentary would do well. Especially if there was an effort to take their work to the next level ie an unprecedented effort to energize the relevant law enforcement agencies and criminal justice systems to prosecute the scammers.

      Same story here. It happened to my 80 year old mother as well. Fortunately she's too cheap to write anyone a check for anything, so she didn't lose any money. Now she calls me whenever someone call her from "Microsoft" and tells her that her IP address is corrupting their servers. She's still not sure if it's real of fake sometimes, but she's smart enough to call me now just to make sure. I've gotten so sick of hearing these stories I decided to go back to college and get a cyber degree just to see if I can humbly follow in the footsteps of people like Jim Browning and help stop these bastard scammers. I wish someone made an app you can use to melt down the computer of these tools.

    I lived in Gurgaon for 6 months a few years ago (I'm british but the company I worked for back then was indian so they had me work at their HQ for a few months) and the amount of ads for these kinds of jobs was insane on the local facebook boards.
    I did a bit of research posing as a work colleague by altering his name (With permission) and essentially the "call centre" is a company who has paid for leads from the company who own the scam error website, The employees are paid commission based on how many services they can sell and how much they can sell them for. There is no fixed price list, just how much they think they can scam from you.
    I reported 2 companies running these centers to the police (Surprisingly the police in Gurgaon are very co-operative considering people like Microsoft and IBM have huge development campuses there and want to keep them happy) and one quite famously got shut down.

      Well the police themselves make dirt.
      It would be beyond easy to bribe them and I guarantee it happens.
      To tell me otherwise is to say a cop that's not being paid by Microsoft directly would not take a bribe from a call center and I don't believe that would ever be the case.
      That's not to say there aren't those protecting the interests of big tech but I'd bet it's heavily in the corrupt area.

      Using Linux I've been able to do every single thing I could do on Windows.

    • @jimreily7538
      @jimreily7538 Год назад

      On the other hand, scams can be all about timing. Once, I was having trouble with Windows (a random error I'd never seen before, something to do with my Microsoft licence), and the day I was trying to fix it, I got a call from an Indian scammer, pretending to be from Microsoft, asking me about my Windows licence problem.
      I believed it, but, I had a friend over when she called, and she was so pushy that I hung up.
      That's how they get lots of people I imagine. Throw enough mud and some will stick basically.

    Keep up the good work Jim, I love your videos. Scammers, when backed into a corner, are very quick to point the finger and accuse the scambaiter of the very things that they have been doing. For example, the scammer was very quick to call you a liar when he himself had perpetrated many lies himself. Others call the scambaiters scammers. They spend their whole life telling lies that the truth gets very blurry. I have seen many times the scammer either putting a syskey on a computer or wiping the files in front of the scambaiter and they will outright deny doing it.

      I cringe when I see scambaiters give away their secrets to scammers. A year ago, scammers had no idea what a VM was, now the better companies teach the "technicians" how to spot a VM (hence the need to make a stealthy VM). They are definitely changing their tactics to combat the influx of scambaiters recently. Those who give the scammers their secrets to scambaiting are only making it harder for themselves and the community.

      When I get those kind of calls I act really slow, I get them to talk super slow and repeat themselves while my phone sits next to my keyboard on speaker while I work (which I do remotely, always did). I usually bait them a bit, agree to buy their product or whatever it may be and then insist I pay in cash, that I dont have a bank account or debit card or checks but I have a lot of cash and will gladly send it via post ... and it ranges from there from them trying to give their own home address and fuck over their "company" or outright hanging up after I insist its the only way I can pay, but Ive gotten some weird addresses from them, and even had one call back when I hadnt sent the cash a couple weeks later.
