What sucks is that apparently it’s wrong to want to hunt down these bastards and skin the responsible parties alive bit by bit while draining blood while they watched before feeding them to the dogs. I do not give a damn if that sounds harsh as hell, because they scammed so many people, many are seniors. In what fucking world is that humane? How is this not enough of a reason to wanna slowly watch these sacks of FLESH die in a painful way? So many of them would moan about how they’re doing it because they’re poor when in reality, many of them are already in the position where they don’t need to but still does it because they make easy money off of people who’s gullible enough to do it.
Doing a terrific and noble job here. Just a note that in Call Center type applications (like I assume you are attached to with your VOIP phone), hitting the ignore button as you did doesn't necessarily disconnect the external caller but instead puts the call back in queue for the next agent (scammer). It's a process called Return on No Answer (RONA), so you'd be better to accept the call and then hang up. Great work none the less.
Exactly what I was going to say, almost 18 years ago I worked at a call center that used this same soft phone. Hitting ignore would always toss them back in the queue.
I used to work at Powertel, it was a call center near me. We cold called people for out of state fraternal order of police organizations. I made great money, bonuses like crazy....then I came to work one day and my badge wouldn't work, about 110 computers were gone, all phones were gone, all desks were gone (I could see in the front door) and right then and there I realized I had been working for a scam business. The FBI shut them down, and within 12 hours it was all gone. Insane. But yeah, I came here to agree the ignore button just tosses them back in queue. And even when I clicked the "Do Not Call" button when people asked to not call again, it just added them to a secondary list that "managers" would call and try to reason with them. I still remember the script after 17 years. I said it 1000+ times a day. Jesus 🤦
This will help many unemployed people if this pays. I say it’s a WIN WIN for everyone. Think about many hundreds of unemployed people call the scammers that would take a lot of their time!!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾😎😎😎 Any amount could help or volunteer is also a bonus!!
Hey from seniors in New Orleans. Those POS show up on our screens, but now we know how to get rid of them, without getting scammed. And we also pass the word, to friends and colleagues: let our fellow seniors know to NOT respond to these bastards. Bless you all for helping rid the world of these bottom feeders.
Saving potential victims is the most amazing work in scambaiting! You have been doing some amazing work, Mr. Ben! I appreciate you including me in this project. Thanks, man!
I remember the time when scams was just a thing you needed to accept that it existed and just try not to get scammed… seeing so many channels doing things the police would never, it’s just beautiful…. This is not a thing that we have to live with anymore… we are getting together to dismantle them
the only reason why police cant get involved is because its a matter of foreign affairs. the US government cant do anything about scammers in india. and a lot of things dont get done over there because most municipalities at a local level in less developed areas are paid off by the scammers to look the other way.
My grandmother this week fell for a scam! She feels super embarrassed that it happened, when somebody threatens someone with jail or that they will hurt them if they won’t pay is so crazy to think about.. well 4,500$ dollars and 2 days later she finds out she was taken advantage of.
I seriously get a warm happy feeling that you, Trilogy, Pierogi, Jim Browning, Deeveearr, Kitboga there are so many of my fave channels I've been watching for years, learning & paying attention, have all joined in the fight & really making a difference. Because of all of you & the MTV show Catfish, i know soooo much & I try to help people not get romance scammed. I don't have a setup or anything but I spread awareness.
Same! It's awesome seeing so many people unite like this against scammers. Also, there's another scambaiter named IRLrosie that's really good I recommend her channel!! She uses her voice acting skills to scam scammers :) greetings from Canada 👋
@@that.neurodivergent Absolutely!!! TY for mentioning him I didn't mean to leave him out.. Also there is RinoaPoison & a couple other ones I'm sure I forget... They're all helping bring this to the forefront.
Es macht keinen Sinn dass deine Großmutter kein Englisch spricht. Ich wohne in Bonn und jeder antwortet mir auf Englisch. Englisch ist nicht meine Muttersprache.
@@alessio272 gut für euch. Meine Oma kommt aus Ostdeutschland und dort gab es nur russisch. Und nur weil du mehrere ältere Leute kennst, die in der ehemaligen Hauptstadt von Deutschland Englisch sprechen, heißt das ja nicht dass es andere dann auch können müssten.
@@dadrecksack941 sie haben recht. Die älteren Leute antworten mir meistens auf Deutsch, aber die jungen nicht. Ich lebte früher in den USA und Viele Menschen haben Spanisch seit 6 Jahren gelernt und können es nur auf einem grundlegenden Niveau sprechen. Die meisten Deutschen sprechen Englisch für Fortgeschritten.
I live with and take care of my elderly mother. She lives in a retirement community. These scams would devastate a huge amount of these very vulnerable people. Have you ever thought of compiling an easy to follow presentation someone like myself could give en mass to a group to try to raise awareness of these scams. What the IRS would do and wouldn't do etc? Instead of trying to save them one by one you could go straight to the source where the elderly congregate. Thank you for what you do and on behalf of people with elderly loved ones you are doing a great service for. ❤️
Beeb, you’re a great American and we need more honest knowledgeable, good hearted people like yourself pulling together to stop this incredible theft! Thank you what do you do and God bless!
OMGosh i love the fact that you and Scammer Payback hacked into the same call center at the same time😂😂😂😂 Great Video as Always! Also another tip to possibly avoid getting scammed when googling sites like Amazon or Microsoft for example the first few results are usually "Ads" not the actual website and alot of times those ads are actually scammers who know that alot of people usually click on the first result of a search. I always go further down until a result that isn't an ad.
You guys are awesome. Instead of the government hiring 80k irs agents that help no one. They should hire 80k guys and girls like you. Now that would help us.
Dude you are awesome!!! You saved me, I was scammed but I didn’t know until a friend showed me your videos and I realized what had happened. I’m still recovering from it, but it could have been a lot worse. If you need an idea for a video, you should call the fake HP tech support line. they where the ones how got me and it would be fun to see you mess with them. Also you should do a video on how to recover from a scammer, like what you should do if you allowed someone remotely access your computer or if you gave out information. Thanks for all you do, and please don’t stop!!!!
You guys Rock! You just saved a lot of people! I just wish everyone would understand that no legit place is going to ask you to pay by bitcoin or gift cards. If we can drill that into everyone's head I think we can end the scamming.
In addition to that: Just because its high in the Google search results doesn't mean its the real tech support number. Anyone can buy an ad and have it high in the search results for certain keywords. You're better off getting the tech support number from the real company website.
I am a Career and Technology teacher in Oklahoma... I would LOVE to work with you guys to stop scammers!!! It makes me ssooo angry to see little old people getting their life savings stolen.
You should do what Malcolm Merlyn does and start flooding their call center with robocalls for days on end. To the point where the scammers cannot make or receive any calls. You should start making calls to premium long distance numbers that charge $10 per minute and start racking up the debt on behalf of these scammers.
I hope people really start supporting each other like you do, well done my friend. Greetings from Greece/EU I also wish people will start doing same actions in all parts of their lives not only the internet part, so we can have happier lives without been scared to walk in some ``bad areas`` or have to use 10 security systems etc...
Tough call. American Scammers steal a lot more from people who are a lot poorer in South Asian and African countries. Amway is one. Forget life's savings. For these people, it's the difference between life and death.
@@shadmansudipto7287 you might dont know but in many countries in europe basic sallary is less than a rent of a very small house in a bad area...i know life is tough in Africa or Asia but its simillar in many countries although its not in their interest to show it to people...20-30 years ago in Greece you wouldnt talk about ghetto`s , now they exist and things are much tougher than back then... In Greece we have same sallaries as 25-30 years ago but economy is so much different all products and cost of life is 500% more ... because we have same currency with all europe this has given us a very ugly decade (and more than that)... the only difference is that people in asia or africa dont scam greeks because they dont speak greek.... its very rare to know this language
This is Scambaiting at it's BEST!! It was great to see you and Jim Browning on Channel 7's Spotlight here in Australia a few weeks ago. Keep up the great work!! 👍 👏
Great job. It’s nice to see somebody take these enema bags down. They used to call me a few years back but I got Wise to them and never got scammed. But so many have been scammed. Keep up the great work.
Problem with that is governments can’t get involved with other countries but they could control what we see here in the states but I’d donate to a scam baiting operation to keep people from getting got
You guys should make a page where you post the numbers of all these scam baiters to the public. I would LOVE to call them once or twice on my free time and make them loose a minute or two. If we are enough people disrupting their operations, I'm sure that they will have to stop at some point
It's really high risk though, firstly numbers can be shut down or changed, then whoever gets the number next will be flooded with calls even though they are a different legit business Secondly you'd be giving your phone # to scammers, they will sign your number up for websites, spam calls to it anytime of day, and can look up information on you based on your phone #. There's other risks as well but those are the most obvious ones you'd want to avoid
Scammers will flood the page with fake numbers, some people will use it to prank other people, the result the real scammers number will get lost within thousands or even a millions numbers
this should be a 9-5 job clogging up and reversing these scammers. anytime i try to sell a motorcycle on craigslist or offerup i get bombarded by these guys working different angles. i give all these videos thumbs up every time. please keep up the good work. making content and helping these people is a great deed.
Another important thing imo is to fight the stigma of scam victims being stupid. Firstly, it's not true, anyone can make bad judgements and scams are designed to exploit weaknesses that impair judgement. Secondly, it keeps victims from talking about it, keeping them in a cycle of abuse at the hands of these people. And we've seen from your previous video on sextortion how tragically that can end. The stigma only weakens us by making us "smarties" think we're impervious to scams, and only really benefits the scammers at the end of the day. And why do we want to help them!?
Yep, all it takes is just getting caught off guard. Maybe you're tired, had a bad day, a bit drunk or loopy from medication, or even just simply not paying attention.
Right, I really hate it when people say if you’re dumb enough to fall for it then you deserved to be scammed. Such an inconsiderate thing to say. Nobody ever deserves it.
It's all about being caught off guard and then pressured into more bad decisions. More should be done at the department stores to check large gift card purchases.
Hearing elderly people talk about them getting scammed, it just breaks my freaking heart man. It really does. I had a friend who was scammed 2 years ago. He was in his 80s. Sadly he's now deceased. But he lost everything, scamming hurts all of us.
That's so gross that they bring CP into the equation, claiming that they think you've had a charge for that on your card. Also, ridiculous like the site, what--lists itself outright as CP? Come on! So stupid.
I'm happy to know people like you are actually out here doing something about the hackers. I just wished I had the knowledge a few years ago when they scammed me. I wish I had the same recourses as you guys do and I would be right by your side in taking them down. Keep up the work. Love the content.
They absolutely do NOT make me distrust the people in India that are honest & hard working. These trash people do not represent anybody but themselves and maybe their parents for not raising them better!
Well done, Ben. Sometimes I look at what is happening around and I weep because in Africa especially, I don't see any future. Leaders are stealing all they can, the young females are wasting their time dancing and shaking their ass on tiktok, the young men have also been told that the only way to make is kill another and bring their body parts for blood sacrifice. Those who will not have blood stains on their hands will scam others irrespective of their age or predicaments😔 😔 😔
I repair computer in a shop and lot of old people came and said that someone enter in their computer and stole money from them. I feel so sad for them. I just wanted to say you did amazing job to let people know about this and actually taking down those scammer. Continue like that I love your work.
Im so happy youve been able to save a handful of people we need more people like you. As a person who got scammed out of £2.5k, this is so vile. It literally makes you so paranoid and depressed after you've been scammed
That old man at the end, bless him, how anyone can think they're cleaver or deserving of money from the elderly blows my mind. Like how can someone even for a second think they're smarter then someone else because they did not grow up in a digital age that stuff just confuses me.
My husband did this, good think I walked in a hung up the phone. He really thought it was legit! The guy kept calling back, then he started asking for money. We stopped answering the phone and he finally gave up. Don't assume that your partner is aware of scams just because we are.
Thanks to Pleasant Green (and others) I regularly inform my mother and other family members of these scams. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your hard work by keeping us informed!! Love your show!!
The new trend about hacking scammers on RUclips is one of the best things ever. Hopefully in a couple years people will be aware of how these scams work and will be able to protect against them but for now good work.
Honestly I think there needs to be a national hotline for confused folks, especially the elderly, to call & ask questions about it. Then there needs to be posters in every doctor's office, library, senior center, Walmart or other gift card areas, basically anywhere they can put them. If you're having doubts just call the hotline & they'll help you. Also please continue helping protect people from scammers & making entertaining videos.
Ben, I get calls by these guys ALL the time! And I always answer with really fucked up bits, my personal favorite right now is ‘Markie’s pizzeria and abortion clinic where yesterday’s loss is today’s sauce’ or ‘thank you for calling Jeffery’s morgue and grill where yesterday’s casualties are tomorrow’s delicacies, how may we serve you?’ Among others
Do you know what's nuts about these videos? The background chatter from these call centers is IMMENSE. Really puts it into perspective as to how big of an enterprise this is. It's nutty
You are right, we need to make everyone aware of how not to allow access to their computers and bank info. To never send money or bitcoins or to buy gift cards as only scammers would steal their info and money. Awareness is the key to not falling victim. We should let everyone we know and in turn tell them to tell everyone they know so we can spread the word. I am not tech savvy but if you could do a complete tutorial on how to gain access to these scumbags so that they could be slowed down I would like to join the fight.
I still struggle to fathom why someone would willingly do this to people. Thanks for spending your time and using your skills to help people Ben. I hope you can continue to do your good works.
Yep, exactly what we need… sharing this vid with anyone in our family/friends group who may be vulnerable and unaware. We have to combat this issue from both ends.
Just imagine if every single person who knew about these scam call centres called them or answered their calls & wasted as much of their time as possible, every single day. If everyone who knew could contribute to wasting their time, they would miss out on scamming SO MANY people. That would be the best thing in the world.
I want to be a volunteer to call victims like you. Imagine, like scammers have office, we had an office too, to connect to scammers call and warn the victims.
Hey Ben, just dropping in to thank you for such great, well-made content with actual true things. (You can't find any real vids on RUclips anymore) And also, good job on taking down one more operation, love your content!
You know, I once almost fell for this, word of advice, don’t download songs illegally. Sometimes these idiots get brought in with the download. Long story short, I called the number thinking it was legit. They try to sell me something, I hang up and shut off my computer. Moral of the story, keep your guard up, cause these scammers have thought of everything.
I was recently scammed out of over $11k by a new scam where they act as employers with well paying jobs. I sent them my personal information after I "got the job" and sent them my Social Security and License like you would for the I-9 processing for a new job. If there is any way I can help get back at these people I'd love to join in.
@@Lost_9o1 I went through the interview process like you normally would for a job before I sent that information, they had me send it to their "HR" Email. I'm not stupid enough to to just hand over sensitive information like that unless it was for a specific reason. A job is one of those reasons.
You guys are doing great, the old folks may be in danger but the younger people that watch this will set the future. Scammers years from now are not gonna make money cause the younger people are gonna be the target when there older and there gonna know cause you guys laid the ground for people too be aware now
Ben, I would absolutely volunteer my time and resources to call as many almost-victims as possible to prevent them from becoming victims..
Next time don't go around colonising the world, and fucking everyone's economy
Me too me too ✋️
Really? So how are those scammers supposed to make a living? Do you think it’s ok to ruin someone’s business? Come on man! Scammer lives matter!
Would be happy to as well!
I am also willing. I have a bachelor in IT with a focus in cyber security and networking
I love that so many people are working together to shut these scum bags down! Thank you, Ben!!!
Down with the scam bags
MORE LIKE SCAM BAGS
i started messing with the call software 2 weeks ago ,thats great fun & shuts down te free phone lines

You guys should make a page where you post the numbers of all these scam baiters to the public. I would LOVE to call them once or twice on my free time and make them loose a minute or two. If we are enough people disrupting their operations, I'm sure that they will have to stop at some point
That is a great Idea
Yeah
It's really high risk though, firstly numbers can be shut down or changed, then whoever gets the number next will be flooded with calls even though they are a different legit business
Secondly you'd be giving your phone # to scammers, they will sign your number up for websites, spam calls to it anytime of day, and can look up information on you based on your phone #. There's other risks as well but those are the most obvious ones you'd want to avoid
@@charbladex use a payphone then
Scammers will flood the page with fake numbers, some people will use it to prank other people, the result the real scammers number will get lost within thousands or even a millions numbers
11:00 i absolutely love the fake out, they finally think that the hacker is gone and they're getting calls again, and then its ben again
this should be a 9-5 job clogging up and reversing these scammers. anytime i try to sell a motorcycle on craigslist or offerup i get bombarded by these guys working different angles. i give all these videos thumbs up every time. please keep up the good work. making content and helping these people is a great deed.
Save the victims! Good job. 👏 some of these people are easily manipulated.
Another important thing imo is to fight the stigma of scam victims being stupid. Firstly, it's not true, anyone can make bad judgements and scams are designed to exploit weaknesses that impair judgement. Secondly, it keeps victims from talking about it, keeping them in a cycle of abuse at the hands of these people. And we've seen from your previous video on sextortion how tragically that can end.
The stigma only weakens us by making us "smarties" think we're impervious to scams, and only really benefits the scammers at the end of the day. And why do we want to help them!?
Yep, all it takes is just getting caught off guard. Maybe you're tired, had a bad day, a bit drunk or loopy from medication, or even just simply not paying attention.
Right, I really hate it when people say if you’re dumb enough to fall for it then you deserved to be scammed. Such an inconsiderate thing to say. Nobody ever deserves it.
@@Claudia-M this mainly applies for older people, so by time there will be less and less but they might change tactics
It's all about being caught off guard and then pressured into more bad decisions. More should be done at the department stores to check large gift card purchases.
@@NigelStratton caught off guard? An OCD paranoid schizophrenic could fall victim to these scams. They're the most "on guard" people on the planet.
I get so excited when you upload! You don't upload so much, but every video is great. Thanks for the awesome entertainment!
Hearing elderly people talk about them getting scammed, it just breaks my freaking heart man. It really does. I had a friend who was scammed 2 years ago. He was in his 80s. Sadly he's now deceased. But he lost everything, scamming hurts all of us.
That's so gross that they bring CP into the equation, claiming that they think you've had a charge for that on your card. Also, ridiculous like the site, what--lists itself outright as CP? Come on! So stupid.
I am always happy to see people being saved. great Job "Ben Dover"
Yay! Awesome work Ben 👍
It was very satisfying to see the great scambaiters working together to give these SOBs a hard time!
I can tell that this is gonna be a good one
I AM FROM TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO 🇹🇹.
learning a lot about this project
Appreciate your content
I'm happy to know people like you are actually out here doing something about the hackers. I just wished I had the knowledge a few years ago when they scammed me. I wish I had the same recourses as you guys do and I would be right by your side in taking them down. Keep up the work. Love the content.
Unfortunately these scammers make people distrust every Indian person in India.
They absolutely do NOT make me distrust the people in India that are honest & hard working. These trash people do not represent anybody but themselves and maybe their parents for not raising them better!
You’re amazing Ben.
Well done, Ben. Sometimes I look at what is happening around and I weep because in Africa especially, I don't see any future. Leaders are stealing all they can, the young females are wasting their time dancing and shaking their ass on tiktok, the young men have also been told that the only way to make is kill another and bring their body parts for blood sacrifice. Those who will not have blood stains on their hands will scam others irrespective of their age or predicaments😔 😔 😔
That escalated quickly
I repair computer in a shop and lot of old people came and said that someone enter in their computer and stole money from them. I feel so sad for them. I just wanted to say you did amazing job to let people know about this and actually taking down those scammer. Continue like that I love your work.
Im so happy youve been able to save a handful of people we need more people like you. As a person who got scammed out of £2.5k, this is so vile. It literally makes you so paranoid and depressed after you've been scammed
If you still have the valid number and all info about the scammer,add me for tracking and recovery ⬆️⬆️⤴️
That old man at the end, bless him, how anyone can think they're cleaver or deserving of money from the elderly blows my mind. Like how can someone even for a second think they're smarter then someone else because they did not grow up in a digital age that stuff just confuses me.
My husband did this, good think I walked in a hung up the phone. He really thought it was legit! The guy kept calling back, then he started asking for money. We stopped answering the phone and he finally gave up. Don't assume that your partner is aware of scams just because we are.
Ben, I think this was one of your most well done videos! 😀
Thanks to Pleasant Green (and others) I regularly inform my mother and other family members of these scams. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your hard work by keeping us informed!! Love your show!!
The new trend about hacking scammers on RUclips is one of the best things ever. Hopefully in a couple years people will be aware of how these scams work and will be able to protect against them but for now good work.
You and Kitgoba working day and nights to save a lot of lives from DBAG scammers.
Kitboga lol
Kitboga is actively defending these scammers by banning any mention of India
Thanks Benjamin for working diligently to stop these scammers!!!
I love your videos man a way to stand up while everyone is talk talk talk
It feels so good, knowing you and all the scambaiters are protecting us! Thank you all so much for your great work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻👊🏻❤️❤️
Honestly I think there needs to be a national hotline for confused folks, especially the elderly, to call & ask questions about it.
Then there needs to be posters in every doctor's office, library, senior center, Walmart or other gift card areas, basically anywhere they can put them.
If you're having doubts just call the hotline & they'll help you.
Also please continue helping protect people from scammers & making entertaining videos.
Ben, I get calls by these guys ALL the time! And I always answer with really fucked up bits, my personal favorite right now is ‘Markie’s pizzeria and abortion clinic where yesterday’s loss is today’s sauce’ or ‘thank you for calling Jeffery’s morgue and grill where yesterday’s casualties are tomorrow’s delicacies, how may we serve you?’ Among others
Lmfaoooo that’s morbidly hilarious
Doing gods work man. All of you.
This is AMAZING, thank you for your service Ben!
Thanks to you and all the other warriors who shut these disgusting places down. Carry on and good luck.
Do you know what's nuts about these videos? The background chatter from these call centers is IMMENSE. Really puts it into perspective as to how big of an enterprise this is. It's nutty
When they call me, I say ‘she died’ 🤣 they don’t call back
I use that line alot. ⚰️
So glad to know that cool 😎 folks like you can get into their system and mess them up good 👍
You are right, we need to make everyone aware of how not to allow access to their computers and bank info. To never send money or bitcoins or to buy gift cards as only scammers would steal their info and money. Awareness is the key to not falling victim. We should let everyone we know and in turn tell them to tell everyone they know so we can spread the word. I am not tech savvy but if you could do a complete tutorial on how to gain access to these scumbags so that they could be slowed down I would like to join the fight.
Appreciate your work Ben
Much Respect
I still struggle to fathom why someone would willingly do this to people. Thanks for spending your time and using your skills to help people Ben. I hope you can continue to do your good works.
Thank you Ben. I've been trying to explain to my mother about these types of scams, now she can see for herself.
Yep, exactly what we need… sharing this vid with anyone in our family/friends group who may be vulnerable and unaware.
We have to combat this issue from both ends.
Just imagine if every single person who knew about these scam call centres called them or answered their calls & wasted as much of their time as possible, every single day. If everyone who knew could contribute to wasting their time, they would miss out on scamming SO MANY people. That would be the best thing in the world.
Great service Ben, awesome video!
Great job Ben. What pi***s me of about these clowns is what they use to justify their crimes🤬🤬
Well done ! We get these scammer calls in Ireland as well. Keep up the good work!
This happened to me so I got them on the line for 1 hour and about 36 minutes. NEW RECORD
GREAT JOB. KEEP it up
🤣
I want to be a volunteer to call victims like you. Imagine, like scammers have office, we had an office too, to connect to scammers call and warn the victims.
Love the work you do Ben. Keep it up!
Keep up the good work! Learning so much about the various scams, thank you! “They’ll keep coming back like dirty toenails.” 😂😂😂
I’m so happy that you can help those people from being scammed. Thank you very much
good video thanks, I shared this video with 20 people! :)
Dude: this guy doesn’t sound like he’s from Indiana
Ben: no he’s from IndIA
Dude: close enough 😂😂😂😂💀
Scrolled down to look for this comment 😂😂😂
Thanks for the hard work you do! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Got three scams in the past week, made sure to waste thier time. You guys are awesome, keep it up.
Thank you for your wizardry. Another thing to focus is intuition, and pattern recognition. These things tear scammers apart from the base.
Hey Ben, just dropping in to thank you for such great, well-made content with actual true things. (You can't find any real vids on RUclips anymore) And also, good job on taking down one more operation, love your content!
You know, I once almost fell for this, word of advice, don’t download songs illegally. Sometimes these idiots get brought in with the download. Long story short, I called the number thinking it was legit. They try to sell me something, I hang up and shut off my computer. Moral of the story, keep your guard up, cause these scammers have thought of everything.
Pirated everything my entire life, nothing ever happened. Know your source and do some research
I was recently scammed out of over $11k by a new scam where they act as employers with well paying jobs. I sent them my personal information after I "got the job" and sent them my Social Security and License like you would for the I-9 processing for a new job. If there is any way I can help get back at these people I'd love to join in.
What did they pose their business as?
@@jason200912 they posed as a healthcare Business called Chronus Health
And it never crossed your mind not to send some random person over the phone your SSN and other important information?
@@Lost_9o1 I went through the interview process like you normally would for a job before I sent that information, they had me send it to their "HR" Email. I'm not stupid enough to to just hand over sensitive information like that unless it was for a specific reason. A job is one of those reasons.
Great work. It *does* make one ask the question, why can't the law enforcement authorities gear up and go after these scammers in this way?
You guys are doing great, the old folks may be in danger but the younger people that watch this will set the future. Scammers years from now are not gonna make money cause the younger people are gonna be the target when there older and there gonna know cause you guys laid the ground for people too be aware now
