Great video guys! Hopefully the police will be able to ID the mule from Art's glasses cam and perhaps even had the detectives do some work on the address for a while! Great victim save!
I’m a UPS driver. I’ve come across money mules a few times. Because of your videos as well as Jim Browning,Scam Baiter and Kitboga I was able to make sure the mules never get the money. Thank you for making me aware.
I know my route and people very well. Most occasions I give the package to Loss Prevention and they contact the shipper. One occasion i had a next day air package for an apartment building where the mule was shipping to an empty apartment. I would pull up and he would get out of his car and receive the package. I told the cops what was happening so they set up a sting operation and arrest the guy. It was his 8th arrest for money muling.
72yo retired man. Happened to me. I cried just now. God bless you guys. Sincerely appreciate your work. Some people are heartless, but you are saviors. I love you guys
Sorry that happened to you, sir. I wasn’t aware of the many methods scammers use, so these videos are very informative. I nearly got tricked in my 20’s, these people are crafty. Consider getting your devices fully reset if you haven’t done so. Don’t click on random email/message links, that’s how they install tracking software.
So sorry that happened to you! It makes me so mad when ppl scam ppl but it really p*sses me off so much when they target the elderly, and of course the disabled. Nobody deserves to get scammed, but the elderly and disabled can't jump up and do a side job or work overtime to make up for it. Leave our people alone!
@@vinlago there has to be a flaw for them to take advantage of, if there wasn't they wouldn't be able to do it. It's really unfortunate and it sucks that they feel more entitled to your money than you do. It's really a sad thing to be in a situation like that. The thing is, if you reach out, you can get help. I've had to reach out to strangers before and they helped me get through things. If you're that bad off you can ask for help, most likely they'll keep helping you anyway.
@@theoriginal7264 the only reason I've survived this long was by reaching out to strangers. Not anything to do with my account being hacked or losing my email but because I lost my disability case (still fighting 10 years on) and had to sell everything or lose my house. In the midst of selling & auctioning off my life I reached out to the usual entities. This is how it usually went... Ask family, they suggest you ask government. Ask government, they suggest you ask friends. Ask friends, they suggest you ask church. Ask church, they suggest you ask... family. Round and round it goes. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. In the end it was strangers who helped me out. They actually reached out to me because they noticed something was off. They asked where I was moving & I had no answer because I was going to live in my car. They offered to let me park on their land and stay in a pickup bed camper. I accepted. They still help me to this day although we've become good friends now. From my experience this is why many folks won't reach out when they find themselves in the midst of these financial sharks. Either shame or the understanding that more often than not they will be met with a brick wall of "no". Especially with family due to the emotions involved.
@@TrilogyMedia speaking of huge win, how does one get into being a scam baiter? I live in Canada and i get these a**holes calling me every day with the Air Duct scam, my Social Insurance Number scams, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. I get these calls 3 times a day or more and all i do with mess with them and waste their time. I would like to actually help take these bastards down.
What you all do as scambaiters is a life saving service! Trilogy,jim,scammer payback,pleasent green,modder paul,cj scams,deyo,karl rock and many others should be used around the world by goverments to protect people from the evil that is scamming
Yes the 911 operater was very judgmental and her communication skills were unprofessional. Not fit for her job. Evaluation based on how she handled the call, she sounded unqualified and is in dire need of urgent training.
They were a little blunt (alright, VERY blunt,) but these kinds of calls are super fishy, surely you understand that. The fact that they sent officers despite being a bitch more than made up for it, imho. From the sounds of it, they didn't believe what was being said, but treated the situation seriously enough to dispatch the police. Shit happens, and fortunately the woman who sent the package gets her money back in part because despite not believing the situation, the dispatcher sent cops to the scene.
@@moonbyul873 you're right , but at the same time they should send dispatch immediately regardless of the situation. That woman is extremely unprofessional on how she escalated the entire scenario because she's on a power trip 🤦♂️
@@neatt5160 You won't get an argument from me. Fortunately even if they didn't seem to take the situation seriously at least they acted on it. A lot of times people won't and that's how things like school shootings happen. Best to always take threats/calls seriously. Better to act on it and waste your time than to let it slide and it ends up being an actual issue.
That dispatcher made my blood boil. How little every one of those officers knew about this type of thing blew my mind. You guys are literally out there making a difference.
She thought she knew what was going on but she had no idea. Its mind boggling law enforcement isn't more educated about this.. even if it's just to educate people in their own districts.
Why? It’s not something they deal with often. These are normal beat cops. Fraud isn’t something they investigate. They just go make the arrests after detectives tell them to.
Well there was a scam going on. She couldn't ID them, and the cops were able to. So she was just doing her job. The cops were In a position of control, had she made the wrong move, she could contribute to who knows what.
Just so y'all are aware, it's entirely possible that the money mule addresses have a "lookout". Someone camped out in an opposing room who keeps an eye out for deliveries. Gotta be careful!
God bless and FOREVER keep you within His grace and protection you are doing a marvelous job these vicious scammers do not realize the impact that this have on other peoples lives who have worked all their lives and this is their life saving I know they don’t care but one day let me say this, and I wish they would read this comment if no other there will be a day of reckoning for all of you who scam and take what you have not earned
P.S. my husband and I was scammed out of 40,000+ and the person that did it got up and left and was not able to be found but I rest in the comfort of knowing that Gal:6:7 is still in effect u get by for a while but u WILL NOT GET AWAY! Ur real pay day will come.
I hope that 911 operator is fired. That is not appropriate behavior in an emergency. As for you guys, you’re awesome and saved so many people and who knows how many lives.
As a training first responder the 911 operator was out of line. She was getting very aggressive and dismissive, it sickens me. People are in need of help that is your job to get people help no questions asked. Thank God for Trilogy Media and other channels like them for stepping up for these victims. Love you guys, keep doing what you are doing. And from the bottom of my being and soul, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all you do💛
Thank you for speaking up especially that you know this field better than all of us! I’m a supervisor for a state call center and if one of my agents spoke to a member this way we would be having a very long convo with written final. We deal with both members and providers but when members call upset that they can’t get their meds or get a procedure done it’s our job to show empathy, use our listening skills and find a resolution. Plan and simple! I feel it’s the same with any phone job. Thank you @erynbowman8530 for training amazing first responders!
You never know what they go through man, she could've been on the phone with a suicidal person that took their own life, you really never know and they hear some of the worst stuff no one would wish to hear.
@@aviate7383it doesn’t matter you supposed to always stay professional. That’s why women are not really a good fit for jobs like that because they get emotional on the other hand woman are good at paying attention to detail
I work at a nursing home and the majority of our residents have some form of dementia. This infuriates me to know that someone would take advantage of my vulnerable people like this.
You foiled the scammer, prevented a mule from his cut, educated police in real time, and got Patricia's money back to her. What a great story, and a great company. Thank you for all your dedication to helping and educating all good people.
No, they helped the scammer to get away with their crimes, by warning them by being there and not informing the police in time. This what was shown here is exactly how NOT to handle situations like this. So, Trilogy Media gets an F from me.
patricia was part of it, its so easy to tell she want from no she didn't to yes she sent the money , she's making a profit off it too, she couldn't even talk straight and was trying to avoid any confrontation with police and just trying to get them to calm down about the whole situation
These hindi fux need to be stuffed into a prison. Brandon administration should be demanding action. It has gotten out of hand and India thinks its all a big joke. We should withhold aide and see what happens, but we won't.
You guys are a blessing! I get emails all the time claiming there’s a charge on my Amazon account or my PayPal. The first thing I do is go to my accounts to see this charge. When I don’t see anything, I delete the email and mark it as scam. Please stay with it guys, we need you!❤
You guys are awesome! I'm a police officer, command staff, thank you for being on our side of the blue line. What you do is absolutely invaluable in the fight to stop these guys. Keep up the good work.
The very cool thing ab out it is, the cops listened and they didn't try to rile things up., Instead they talked at a very calm voice and really tried to listen and understand what was going on. Many people have stepped in to try to prevent a crime from happening, and many police officers for some reason tend to go bananas and not really paying attention. Maybe they were bored or didn't want to be bothered or something and they usually respond with. "You're gonna have to take that up with so and so". 🤷♀🤦♂ THESE police officer's though, really tried to understand and tried to really help out to solve a crime in progress. Which is really awesome. Not all of us are bad out here LOL 🥰🥰🥰 there are some really good citizens left. 😁👍
You fukked up mentioning the blue line , we tax payers do not like that on our flag or the uniforms we pay for and you don't believe it just ask the citizens in your town 🤔
There’s no such thing as a “blue line”. Stop spreading that narrative. Good police are gold, bad ones need to be in jail. What you just typed makes me think you wouldn’t report a bad one. I seriously suspect you aren’t a real cop if you post something like that. 🤷🏻♀️
Last time I called 911, I caught a thief in the act of stealing my Suburban and I had him physically detained. I told them to send police NOW, because I had the guy there on the ground. The dispatcher instead decided to ask me if the guy was wearing a uniform, if he was in a tow truck, if I had missed any payments (on a 1999 Suburban in 2023). The guy got away and hopped in the car with his accomplice, and the police never even showed up. I wasn’t able to get a clear picture of the license plate because I was on the phone with the dispatcher and running after the car, so it was blurry. It was incredibly unprofessional! When someone calls 911 and asks you to send police, dispatch first, then ask questions!
True!! Imagine a life and death situation, seconds from something happening to you, you call 911 and they fcking hang up, thanks police I guess now i'm dead?????!!!
I’ve watched this multiple times now. This one was really crazy. I can’t really describe how it feels to see our elderly friends protected. Maybe a reverse skydive would be the best description. It’s like happiness, fear, anxiety, & anger combined.
Patricia was so deep in the scam she couldnt believe she was being scammed even after she was told she was being scammed. These scammers are just terrrible people
I disagree. I believe as time progresses and the world naturally becomes more involved with technology, the cyber-scam industry will slowly fade away especially if people start to bring more awareness to this issue. Remember, the only reason why these scams work in the first place is because they target 65+ yr old victims who lived most of their life in a time where technology and the internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now.
Just like Indian police who are total fraudsters. Your American police are totally illiterate. They are just by standers to this crime. If they are proactive these scammers and their money mules would have been in jail long time back. This is very unfortunate situation. Even to talk to your police and explain this is very difficult. They are focusing on catching kids smoking ganja. Such an achievement 🙂
I'm so happy that you got your money back Patricia! My mom is 70 years old and I always try to make her aware of the scams and what people will say to her and we are happy to know that you got your money back.
Tears of gratitude to your team of angels 😇 Blessings. I got scammed 10 years ago right after my hubby died. I didn’t get that deep but still it happens when most vulnerable. Thanks again.
That cases investigate by very separate part of police (FBI, should i say). Sadly, but most peoples just does not know at all how scams working. And time by time its just made a harder and harder to explain and get that. P.S. English not my native language, so if I'm wrong - sorry. Hope you can understand me :) Because, if i try to say anything in my native language - you can't understand me, even by using Google Translate, i suppose
Usually they don't??? You are making quite an assumption based on opinion only. I was an officer for over 30 years. YES WE INVESTIGATE. In fact, many agencies work directly with the feds on EXACTLY this type of fraud. Why so anti police?
@@Belg6179 ohh, I'm not saying that. Sorry I kinda misword it. I meant to say "usually they can't" because the problem is overseas and the police can't really do anything about it because the scammer is in a foreign country.. so I'm glad they can do somethinng about the money mule situation.
Hi, I'm Dr. Peter from Nigeria and seeing what you guys do for humanity is just incredible! There are a lot of scammers across the world, particularly in India and Nigeria. These criminals here in Nigeria really give us a bad name and I love what you guys are doing. Good job guys!
Thank you Dr. Peter. You’re one of the good ones. There are scammers all over the world which saddens me. Like they say in the USA, the good have to suffer for the bad. 😢
Thank you for trying to help this woman. Some guy in Jamaica scammed my mother out of so much money she was sending to him we had to sell her home to get her out of debt. She moved in with my sister . I contacted the attorney general in Missouri and never got a response. She had no food in the house and was about to have her utilities turned off. I hope you catch all of these scum bags
@28:58 the Asian guy outsmarted him, he told him he was looking for an address to deliver but the address might be in another city second he did not even realize the guy wasn't holding the brown bag anymore.... That's the guy y'all were looking for
Listening to her on the phone, hearing how tight their hold is on her, and, by extension, other victims, filled me with emotion. I was on the edge of my seat. Thank goodness for the work you do.
Glad that Trilogy Media decided to put their foot down when they were on the phone with the Newark Police to tell them, "hey, I can't move not knowing whether someone is going to pick up a package with stolen money, so please get down here right away!" Who knows what would've happened if you left the scene. Great job, you guys, and congratulations! 🎉🎊
I was a recent victim and lost a lot of money. I am deeply grateful to you gentleman for your amazing work. You are so smart and the bravest of angels. Thank you for all you do to help save us. ❤
@@debbieelliott532 what u said is true but he also has a point. I mean wouldn’t anyone with an ounce of common sense be able to realize something is sketch when a Amazon or PayPal is asking you to send a box of cash?
@@therealgeorgegervinjr.2364 Scammers scam people older than 65. You are old enough to understand life circumstances of each person? I feel sorry for you being dumb. If someone can't scam you, surely you can easily be done on something else. I can prove it from your common sense in this comment you made.
That situation with Patricia was absolutely heartbreaking. She was clearly being manipulated to an extreme extent that I didn’t even think was possible, and the scammer deserves locking up for a long time.
I think people that are being scammed don't want to believe that they have lost a large amount of money, so they continue to cooperate with the scammer, even when it is shown to them what is actually happening.
Naaa that daft cow deserved to be scammed. More money than sense. This daft cow even took a call from the scammer while they were talking to her and believed them?!!
Such a heartwarming story at the end ....shame on the 911 operator who was a jerk. That was uncalled for and they should be reprimanded for their callousness. You guys are saviours and we love the work you do!
To be fair, a cop stopping in front of a specific residence in question is dangerous with what they're alleging. Its completely reasonable to not want to show their hand until they establish the actual situation.
@@EPiQ_cR they are cops if they are scared then perhaps they shouldn't be cops. Asking them to move was not a lawful order not to mention these people were obviously calling to help
@@Barbles88 it isn’t about fear, it’s proper policing to not intentionally escalate a situation. Establishing details on a situation before engaging directly in it is fairly standard. Otherwise every cop may as well show up to every call with an armored vehicle and guns drawn, right?
Patrica was so incredibly brainwashed by these guys. These scams seem so obvious to me. Its so weird that folks fall so hard for this nonsense. Thank you for helping.
That's why mostly old folks fall victim to these scams. It's obvious to most people with an understanding of today's world, but not always as much with the older generation. It was scary how Patricia seemed to be afraid that she was in trouble when they first called her. It stopped her from understanding what they were trying to tell her. Those scammers really got into her head.
a famous scambaiter (jim browning) did a bit for vice recently - and he admitted that he fell for a scam too!!! ruclips.net/video/CZbEQsKLRZQ/видео.html
While these scams seem completely obvious to you, do not fall into the trap of thinking you never could fall for any scam … that makes you an overconfident victim. See spear phishing.
It depends, really. There are multiple scams for hitting different age groups, so while some are very obvious (deliberately, so they dont need to deal with that), and others that arent.
Oh sweet Patricia...my heart stopped when I heard that area code, she's in my own backyard. So many angels were with you that day making sure she got her money back. Excellent teamwork! Scammers used to laugh at me and mock me when I said Trilogy Media are my friends. Now, they sound sad, and hang up.
@TrilogyMedia Ashton, you are a total rock star. No way anyone else could spin tech plates like you. Everyone on the team - absolutely amazing. DANG!!! Ya’ll my heroes - thank you for what you all do. Damn, I don’t understand why they’re afraid to look up proof on you guys.
man this is the type of content that deserves all the success, helping these people and using your resources to fight scammers is such a noble thing to do.
I retold this entire story to my 90 yo grandpa to make sure he knows how easy it is to lose everything you've worked for your entire life. You guys are doing great work
I watched a lot of these guys videos . I love what they do but I sometimes feel like they are chasing their tails. This video was the best scam bait video I’ve seen period! Awesome job to Trilogy! Bravo 👏
@@StephenDoty84 yeah but she was the kind of person to do that, she wouldn’t have gotten scammed in the first place. There’s 20 other red flags and ways to identify your being scammed before you ever get in your car and withdraw the cash!
I don't think the cops would've been as confused if just one of you guys talked at a time. When you talk over each other all crazy like that, it feels kinda sketchy. Still ..congrats on being able to help that old lady get her money back. Y'all doing great work out there.
Yeah I see that, I also think it was because they didn’t understand the scam, so at first it seemed like they thought the lady was involved in the check fraud. They’re like “why would this lady just send these guys 25k” and didn’t realize the extent of just how orchestrated it is. At least they know now and know what to look for.
Thanks Trilogy. I am Indian national and I am extremely ashamed to see this and other videos on your channel. I myself and my wife received calls from these scam centers claiming themself as IRS officer, Immigration officer, CBP officer with name as John, Ryan etc...... and use the "Indian accent". I have always confronted them and tried to stop them, but they are low life scumbags - use bad language, curse at you and hang-up the phone. You are doing very good job. Please keep on crushing these roaches.
@koustubhashtekar9969 please can you work out how best apply local pressure can be made on these identified scammers. Indian's have written saying local family and friends need to be sent the evidence to be family shamed. What is best way for this to be done as so far every lovely Indian I have spoken with is unwilling to take stand. What happened to Ghandi sentiment?. Standing together. Something needs to happened locally. In addition to each of us raising awareness in our local countries.
Ashtekar I was scammed by a middle eastern guy. I think from India. As a Black man always helping anyone. He made me loose faith in humanity. I feel bad for the next person who truly needs help.
Hi! You shouldn't be ashamed. There are scoundrels everywhere. The government and poverty are to blame for so many scammers in India. Nationality has nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately in India you can find the best of the best people and on the other side the worst of the worst. It's also a country with such a huge population...that even something with the small numbers there is a huge number elsewhere.
Instead of being ashamed do something, like write to your local Indian politician and demand legal reform to make prosecutions easier on victims required to give statements. Who wants to communicate with another online Indian right after being scammed by one? Prosecution needs to be easier.
I am from India, Kolkata one of the scammer's major hubs, I guess. Your documentary is worth screening amongst much wider audiences. What particularly struck me was your perseverance throughout that unfolding drama. You guys showed the world what "aware citizenry" means. That selfless dedication towards a social service as demonstrated by your team is a testament to evolved civic life. I will be keen to help you if you may need my help anytime.God bless you!
Hindu religion is demonic that is why the demons influence them to steal, kill & destroy (rape is rampage in India)! I am speaking truth! Turn back to worship Almighty God-Jesus Christ or burn in hell fires for all these sins including worship Hindus demons they called gods & goddess! Repent!
If you live there, you can be civic minded as well, and help prevent this cruelty from home. Young men who suddenly have jobs at these “call centers” should be shamed and ostracized. I have seen on Scam Baiter channel that many of these young men are lying to their families about where their sudden wealth comes from. And apparently the police there are being bribed to do nothing. I wish you understood how the people who rob our vulnerable seniors make your whole country seem corrupt. I have so many elderly patients who will not talk to anyone on the telephone who has an Indian accent. That is not fair to the vast majority of people in your country, but it is the reality. In many people’s minds, India=scammers. Therefore Indians are not to be trusted. You can help by demanding the police shut the call centers down, and by preventing your boys from becoming scammers. Even being vocal about how wrong it is to scam others could save one life.
@silentlatif unfortunately the scammers try every trick in the book so even your kind gesture are motives that will be questioned. Sad, as many people from India are kind and generous. These people will undermine the view of your people.
This made my day. That conversation with Patricia at the end was one of the most encouraging human encounters I've witnessed in a long time. Way to go guys.
Oh I have tears in my eyes because of your help to this woman. I get several calls a day from these call centers but I know what and who they are and I just give them BS right back so it is very satisfying to see that you guys helped this woman not to be a victim. Thank you!
This is hands down the most selfless thing I've ever seen,these guys are beautiful people,I was overjoyed to see them help Patricia and how he told dispatch I'm not taking my eyes off that package,when she asked him to move away,I just love it!!!!!!!Those scammers are disgusting people!!!!
Wow, California's finest. I guess they need to ask questions to learn but they are really slow on the pick up. Atleast they got her her money back. Or I hope she did. I'm trying really hard to believe they are going to do right by her
This was one of the best scambait video outcomes that I've seen. I was a little concerned when Pat was still talking with the scammer, as well as when she didn't want the package opened. I thought that she was going to resend it to the dirty rotten scammer, but it all turned out great. You guys should be so proud of what you do, and the difference that you make.
My heart just broke when I heard the fear in her voice when you first contacted her. She looks like my mom who has passed recently and passed from dementia. I was always watching over her, she had many calls made to her but I told her no bank will call her asking for money, or the IRS. Eventually she moved in with me for hospice care and passed peacefully surrounded by her family. You guys truly are angels. Thank you for what you do.
I know I'm a stranger, but... I'm sorry to hear about your mom. She must've been a sweet lady. 💔 It's never easy to say goodbye to a family member. But so long as you don't forget about them, they'll never truly be gone.
there is only so much a bank teller can do. i bet they are not allowed to ask certain types of questions there is not much a bank teller can do it's their money the bank can't just say well nope you can't have it. they can alert the police or try and let the victim know what's going on but they can't refuse to give someone their money
It’s all an act, with actors. The cops aren’t real. Their belt setup is bull, no tasers, and not a single radio transmission? This channel is crap. Thought you would want to know. What are the cops names? They never give them cuz those can be verified. Open your eyes!
I was so anxious as it was unfolding. I was literally on the edge of my seat. I could hardly take the waiting & suspense! What a perfect surprise pkg for the team!!
Why do 911 operators get so frustrated? And hanging up on someone trying to get help is ridiculous. GET A NEW JOB BUT you guys have the perfect job. Way to go!
911 operators are seriously frustrating. Every time I’ve called 911 for an accident or something they ask the dumbest questions and it’s like they don’t even listen to you. And they keep you waiting forever to answer the phone.
@daCubanaqt can confirm. Last time I had to call 911 for an emergency the guy I talked to was a huge d bag and told me the cops were too busy to come even though I was actively watching a crime happen. I get that cops are busy, but why TF was this guy so rude to a stranger asking for help?
@@ashcharliepennyziggy I’m sure you can call your local town/city hall and ask about the total number of 911 calls they receive on average. They might even provide that info on their website. A moderately large city gets inundated with calls, a majority of which aren’t emergencies or warrant the attention of emergency responders. Examples of junk calls may include someone calling because some kids are playing loudly outside during daylight hours, the caller’s cat is stuck in a tree, or someone calling from their car complaining that a motorist is speeding. In a given shift, only a fraction of the total number of employed first responders are on active patrol or available for response and it’s the dispatcher’s job to determine the severity of the call and appropriately allocate the necessary personnel and resources. I’m not excusing rude or dismissive behavior but it can be a very stressful job. The police department where I live is so understaffed that a crime like burglary is considered least concern.
I am really impressed with your ethics. As an older lady, I too, think I am safe and smart enough to be safe but I have been duped but not like this. I am so careful now. Thank you for your purpose in being what we all should be to each other! I wish more people would be willing to put themselves out like you do. You are hero’s!!! Thank you!!!
What timing! Thanks to Patricia for allowing us to witness this, not only did she get her money back the ripples of this video will be amazing. Well done everyone 💖
From trying to catch a money mule, but finally saving an actual victim and recovering her money at the same time, you are all hero’s without capes?!! Fabulous result brothers well done!! Love you all xxx 👏👏👏💙💙💙
GOOD JOB guys!!! Im a Swedish woman thats is working really hard to protect my father from scammers and its hard. So for me to see this helps alot to know that there are ppl like you working really HARD to help elders. Bless you 2!!!
Thank you guys for doing what you do. As a 52yo disabled lady, I appreciate this very much. I was almost a victim of a scam call like this a couple years ago and I'm so glad I let my "Spidey Senses" tell me this was a scam. They got very angry with me when I told them I had to call my bank, etc. and that is what sold me on the fact that it was all kinds of wrong. Watching this video with Patricia, I can't help but think of what would happen to this sweet lady or where I would be today (likely homeless) if I'd gone thru with the demands they made on me. It's disgusting what these people do - taking advantage of the elderly or less tech-savvy folks. If only today's world were filled with people who only wanted good things for their neighbours and fellow community members. Again, thanks for doing what ya do, gents🙏🏼. Hat's off to you. Heather🇨🇦
@heatherd.9390 I get it, I watch and listen to a lot of scambaiting and it can give you the impression the world is filled with scammers-and, lol, ok it kinda is, BUT don't forget there are WAY MORE good, decent, generous people like Art, Ash, Scammer Payback, Kitboga and -MORE-, that work almost every day to busy these criminals one-at-a-time so they aren't thieving from our vulnerable loved ones.

I know it's been said a million times, your team and all the other teams on RUclips and even behind the scenes that we don't see are the most amazing people in the world. There are not enough thanks to go around for all you do. Keep up the awesome work!
She is so lucky you guys were there to help her out, even after denying the truth. She would have lost so much money. Its crazy how easy it is for them to get away. Amazing job
I gotta say, I'm really impressed with how Ashton spoke to the poor lady. Just the level of sincerity and emotion was really impressive. I normally see videos where you both confront the scammer and being a bit more intense (which i also love) but that call really made me smile. Thank you guys. You're both wonderful.
My son was scammed when he was around 25-year-old and to this day (years later) he feels a sense of failure as a result of being scammed. If you were scammed, do not feel shame. You were a victim, but you are not a criminal. Most likely you are a very caring and compassionate person.
That lady is completely lost in space! Some of these so called victims sometimes deserve what they get especially when people are giving them warning signs.
There's a special place in hell reserved for these scammers. It makes me sick to my stomach how they take advantage of people. Big thanks to Art and Ashton for dedicating their lives to helping to fight against these low lifes. Trilogy Media rocks!!
It's so frustrating watching victims interacting with scambaiters. I get it that scams can be convincing, but if someone tells you there is a chance you're being scammed that should send off bells in your head no matter what the circumstance is. The fact that she's arguing "I know he's not from India" for the scammer is just such strange behavior.
Thanks so much, guys!❤ Art and Ashton, you're our dream team, our heroes! Always fighting the good fight! Can't properly express in words, how much I love ya's, how grateful I am, and how blessed I am to be a part of Team Trilogy and the Squadissimo!❤This was such an absolute emotional rollercoaster, from start to finish!❤ Absolutely out of this world!❤Thanks so much, from the bottom of my heart, always!❤Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
TIMING!!! The Asian dude & Adian girl in sweats were working together!! What a stroke of GOOD LUCK!!! So very happy this senior got her money back!! I hope your team puts the fear of God in these creatures!! This drop off will probably no longer be good! Thank you so much for ALL the good you do!!
I really hope Patricia was able to see through the scammers tactics and came back to reality and didn’t send the package back out to the scammer after it got returned to her by the police.
Wow, I am totally blown away right now. This video is not only filled with education about how scams work and the tactics scammers use; it's also filled with the heartfelt moment of someone being financially saved. Trilogy Media always says that if it wasn't for the kind generosity of the squad, these videos wouldn't happen, and we appreciate the acknowledgement. That being said, these videos would not happen if it weren't for everyone at Trilogy Media HQ, from the sacrifice they make by being on the road so much and putting their own lives in jeopardy as they don't know what awaits them when heading to expose a scammer or money mules, to all the hard work back in the office with editing and the collaborations they do with others who are doing what they can to help expose scammers, waste their time, and save people too. And there are plenty of livestreams on a regular basis, as well as a whole lot of other content on Trilogy+, which is awesome! #ThankYouTrilogyMedia #BaitAndSave #SubToTrilogyPlus
8:51 I'm literally crying right now, that is so sad and sick of the scammer. 😭 Also I cannot believe that dispatcher hung up on you she had the worst attitude that was absolutely uncalled for.
What are you talking about? They did exactly the right thing. They didn’t see what we saw, and had to be brought up to speed. If not for the police, the woman wouldn’t have gotten her money back.
@@docinparadise this is a case where time is of the essence and if he would have followed the dispatchers instructions that package would have been gone.
@samomico9536 correct, but the dispatcher is trying to keep the caller safe and preserve the evidence. They have to have some sort of procedure and no procedure is guaranteed for all scenarios. They just all did their best. The only criticism I'd have is of the journalists who should have called the police the moment they knew any kind of crime was being committed at this address. Btw Is it legal to produce large quantities of fake notes in the US? Were the police already in on it?
Several years ago the scammers tried to pull the "Overpaid refund bank cashier check" scam on me. I took the envelope with the cashiers check to the USPS Inspector for fingerprint analysis. Since the scammers used the USPS they were charged with US federal felonies. By the way I am a retired police officer. It wasn't my first Rodeo. It was my first time in the victim's seat.
Years ago I got a fake cheque and a fake money order when I did not respond to the first letter, in the mail. I had applied for a secret shopper job which turned out to be a scam. As soon as I saw the fake things I knew it was a scam and did my first youtube video but I am very shy and did not get many views. Still, I watch these guys because I am grateful for anyone who educates potential victims as well as appreciate how hard these guys work to help victims and beat the scammers.
They've stopped so low, the mules in the US stealing your Identity, Social Security #, and even with Life lock, they have everything-- Direct Express! Some with the motels that ask for a card, after paying cash, had my card and money!
@Northtide I don't believe you. The investigative process with USPS and chain of evidence regarding fingerprints on mail does not work that way. 😂 Nice story though. A civilian cannot hand mail to a USPS Investigator to have " Fingerprinted ". Once the envelope is touched and opened , the " chain " of evidence has become tainted and unusable in any investigation of a common nature. MAYBE the CIA could use it to catch a terrorist, but unlikely and not a chance for mail fraud.
Yes, I made a similar comment just now that they should be trained and aware of what's going on and some kind of protocol for dealing with these situations.
Those drivers, and their loss prevention people are over-worked and underpaid. I used to work for a contractor for UPS processing claims. Those companies don't really feel like that's something they should be doing. Unless and until the companies are held liable in some way. But, it would be a great marketing idea to advertise that they are stepping up their game to prevent suspicious packages from being delivered. Don't hold your breath.
@@TheEvilDrR right, they don't care unless it's affecting their business in some way so they need an incitive and maybe their marketing would be a start. We're moving toward a cashless society anyway so I'm not sure if it would be something they would consider investing into it at this point in the game
WOW! Hand of God intervening on behalf of Patricia through Trilogy Media! Great job, guys! Ashton, you are so sweet and patient when you are talking to the victims! God bless you all for your work!
That 911 operator though! Perhaps the police were not going to be helpful, keen to arrest Art & Ash for parking violation (on private land?), they just wanted to see you grab the box, to put the cuffs on. Luckily, you got these guys on a good day, they were at least willing to listen. Art camera view was really high up :)
The dispatch lady almost foiled the whole thing 😮… There should be a national Code for this sort of thing; so when Trilogy Media or another organization call it in; the police department dispatch can comprehend what’s at stake! And the best way to do that, is getting this information about Scammers, out in the open. You guys rock!❤
Good idea, one problem. Ever heard of being swatted? People could use this code to get the police to go somewhere else where there isn’t an emergency while others need help. (I know I am late)
Not really trilogy media kinda botched the whole thing. They scared the mule off. What she was saying was that they should move away from the house to talk to police so the mule won't be scared away and they can potentially charge him and or find out more about the operation through him. Yea it's good they got her money but the mule is still out there probably getting more money at a different address.
@@razerscale3590 yeah they aren’t really the smoothest 😆 I’d definitely do things differently. Being an ex criminal myself; I see angles that others don’t and sometimes it’s hard to watch the cringey ignorance 😆
Plus w that amount of $ on the line, things can go south very quickly! The people need to know that PayPal never contacts anyone by email nor by phone; US mail only & they ask you to check their licensed trademark against one shown while also warning to look for misspellings that could indicate someone is foreign. I almost fell for that 8 yrs ago! The email PayPal insignia was almost exact replica, no mistakes in English so I called the number. They read off last 4 digits of my checking account so made me think they were valid. I heard others have a lot of noise in the background so remembered a recent 20/20 showing call centers in India w lots f background noise. I woke my son who immediately took phone & said rude things. I was ashamed my son spoke so rudely, so quickly. Guess what? He was right & had seen a couple RUclips channels so knew immediately they were scamming me.. trying to. What's scary is how long it took me to believe my son was right & I was being so ignorant! I had to pay to change checking account fee, order all new checks, am disabled from arthritis so knowing these guys are doing this, brought tears to my eyes. That could have been me, although I wouldn’t have felt compassionate enough to save their jobs. I’d make them click some more & fix it before changing checking accounts & all passwords. I canceled PayPal forever, too. I don’t have any banks on line or phones. I won’t use cash app, much to kids’ chagrin bc of these vile criminals! Thx to this channel & all others like them!❤❤❤
omg the ending. so heartwarming. im so glad everything worked out for her. absolutely love that i found this channel & love what you guys are doing. amazing amazing work. faith in this world has been restored.
God bless you guys. Seeing a real victim being helped so tremendously (25 thousand!!) is so amazing to see. What you are doing matters & these people are pieces of garbage.
Wow. You guys saved Patricia's retirement savings. This is seriously amazing. Watching you guys save lives is worth more than just a like on RUclips. Keep it up
I hope UPS was alerted not to drop anymore packages at that address. This is truly a miracle that you guys were there. Thank you for all you do. I wish elderly people could be convinced not to answer calls from numbers they don’t recognize. I never answer calls from random numbers - even if it appears to be from a local business. I figure if it’s important they’ll leave a message. By the way, I myself am “elderly” (if 67 is considered elderly).
have to be so careful these days. I would get calls from the "IRS", "Social Security" saying I owed them money or else I would be arrested. I would get these scam calls so often mostly in the morning that I got an answering machine. Now that I have an answering machine, they always hang up without leaving a message. That's how I weed out the scammers now. The real callers always leave a message.
@@jgstargazer - Yes, voice mail is what I have. What really upsets me is I bet the telephone companies could end “spoofing” on caller ID but they don’t want to spend the money (spoofing if when a phone number appears on the caller ID that is not the number the call originates from).
4/1/23 this day I had a call just as you described from a Kiwi born Indian who spoke very good English with a slight Indian ascent. He rang to tell me in polite English that there were scammers out there scamming my such in such internet. What gave him away was my providers were not the ones he spoke of being my providers. Right off I known him to be fake and promptly hang up. Latter I was sorry to have done that as I should have lead him on in the hope he might have told me stuff by mistake. If there is a next time I'll surly string them along.
So I have only recently came across the multiplex of channels like yours. My 83 yo Aunt was scammed out of 6K just months before she passed 3 yrs ago. It warms my heart to see you guys doing this good work. THANK YOU!
Congratulations guys, another one bites the dust. Yes it's an older video but this video needs to be seen hell of a lot more than 4.4 million, glad you helped that poor woman.

No solicitors in Britain and Ireland mean: No Lawyers 🙂
Hi trilogy media great people plus youtube
Great video guys! Hopefully the police will be able to ID the mule from Art's glasses cam and perhaps even had the detectives do some work on the address for a while! Great victim save!
I’m a UPS driver. I’ve come across money mules a few times. Because of your videos as well as Jim Browning,Scam Baiter and Kitboga I was able to make sure the mules never get the money. Thank you for making me aware.
Does UPS have a program to educate drivers to spot these types of scams?
@@TheRussellStover Brother does FedEx and they don't at the least.
That's awesome! Thank you for your service!
How does that work? Do you just report that the package was lost or too damaged to deliver or something?
I know my route and people very well. Most occasions I give the package to Loss Prevention and they contact the shipper. One occasion i had a next day air package for an apartment building where the mule was shipping to an empty apartment. I would pull up and he would get out of his car and receive the package. I told the cops what was happening so they set up a sting operation and arrest the guy. It was his 8th arrest for money muling.
72yo retired man. Happened to me. I cried just now. God bless you guys. Sincerely appreciate your work. Some people are heartless, but you are saviors. I love you guys
Sorry that happened to you, sir. I wasn’t aware of the many methods scammers use, so these videos are very informative. I nearly got tricked in my 20’s, these people are crafty. Consider getting your devices fully reset if you haven’t done so. Don’t click on random email/message links, that’s how they install tracking software.
((HUGS)) sorry that this happened to you
So sorry that happened to you! It makes me so mad when ppl scam ppl but it really p*sses me off so much when they target the elderly, and of course the disabled. Nobody deserves to get scammed, but the elderly and disabled can't jump up and do a side job or work overtime to make up for it. Leave our people alone!
@@vinlago there has to be a flaw for them to take advantage of, if there wasn't they wouldn't be able to do it. It's really unfortunate and it sucks that they feel more entitled to your money than you do. It's really a sad thing to be in a situation like that. The thing is, if you reach out, you can get help. I've had to reach out to strangers before and they helped me get through things. If you're that bad off you can ask for help, most likely they'll keep helping you anyway.
@@theoriginal7264 the only reason I've survived this long was by reaching out to strangers. Not anything to do with my account being hacked or losing my email but because I lost my disability case (still fighting 10 years on) and had to sell everything or lose my house.
In the midst of selling & auctioning off my life I reached out to the usual entities. This is how it usually went...
Ask family, they suggest you ask government. Ask government, they suggest you ask friends. Ask friends, they suggest you ask church. Ask church, they suggest you ask... family. Round and round it goes. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
In the end it was strangers who helped me out. They actually reached out to me because they noticed something was off. They asked where I was moving & I had no answer because I was going to live in my car. They offered to let me park on their land and stay in a pickup bed camper. I accepted. They still help me to this day although we've become good friends now.
From my experience this is why many folks won't reach out when they find themselves in the midst of these financial sharks. Either shame or the understanding that more often than not they will be met with a brick wall of "no". Especially with family due to the emotions involved.
*Virtual high 5!!* Well done guys. So happy for Patricia.
It’s a huge win for the whole scambaiting community! 👊😊
Let’s talk soon
Cheers
You do amazing work Jim. Much love!
@@TrilogyMedia speaking of huge win, how does one get into being a scam baiter? I live in Canada and i get these a**holes calling me every day with the Air Duct scam, my Social Insurance Number scams, Microsoft, Amazon, etc. I get these calls 3 times a day or more and all i do with mess with them and waste their time. I would like to actually help take these bastards down.
Hello there Jim my friend 👋🏽I loved that patreon video it was awesome as always 😘
What you all do as scambaiters is a life saving service! Trilogy,jim,scammer payback,pleasent green,modder paul,cj scams,deyo,karl rock and many others should be used around the world by goverments to protect people from the evil that is scamming
I saw one with an FBI agent 15 years on the job got scammed for $45000, so it proves they are very smart at these scams. No one is safe.
That 911 operator is something else. This is why these scammers get away with the crap they do.
Yes the 911 operater was very judgmental and her communication skills were unprofessional. Not fit for her job. Evaluation based on how she handled the call, she sounded unqualified and is in dire need of urgent training.
They were a little blunt (alright, VERY blunt,) but these kinds of calls are super fishy, surely you understand that. The fact that they sent officers despite being a bitch more than made up for it, imho. From the sounds of it, they didn't believe what was being said, but treated the situation seriously enough to dispatch the police. Shit happens, and fortunately the woman who sent the package gets her money back in part because despite not believing the situation, the dispatcher sent cops to the scene.
@@moonbyul873 you're right , but at the same time they should send dispatch immediately regardless of the situation. That woman is extremely unprofessional on how she escalated the entire scenario because she's on a power trip 🤦♂️
@@neatt5160 You won't get an argument from me. Fortunately even if they didn't seem to take the situation seriously at least they acted on it. A lot of times people won't and that's how things like school shootings happen. Best to always take threats/calls seriously. Better to act on it and waste your time than to let it slide and it ends up being an actual issue.
@@moonbyul873 I was agreeing with you , I wasn't trying to start an argument lmao
That dispatcher made my blood boil. How little every one of those officers knew about this type of thing blew my mind. You guys are literally out there making a difference.
You would think Police nowadays would be more clued up.
@@queenbee2371 Really? Most cops don't know the law very well.
She thought she knew what was going on but she had no idea. Its mind boggling law enforcement isn't more educated about this.. even if it's just to educate people in their own districts.
@@aSpaghettiMan she wasn’t wrong. 🤷🏻♀️
Why? It’s not something they deal with often. These are normal beat cops. Fraud isn’t something they investigate. They just go make the arrests after detectives tell them to.
That lady on 911 was so aggressive ....thanks you guy you saved the day
Well there was a scam going on. She couldn't ID them, and the cops were able to. So she was just doing her job. The cops were In a position of control, had she made the wrong move, she could contribute to who knows what.
I wouldn’t call it aggressive..I’d call it something else.
she aint aggressive, but just hasty.
@@veteranredbeard6222🎯Of course, but seems alot of people that comment don't think it through or consider the repercussions of a bad decision
Only in California 😅
Just so y'all are aware, it's entirely possible that the money mule addresses have a "lookout". Someone camped out in an opposing room who keeps an eye out for deliveries. Gotta be careful!
Exactly
God bless and FOREVER keep you within His grace and protection you are doing a marvelous job these vicious scammers do not realize the impact that this have on other peoples lives who have worked all their lives and this is their life saving I know they don’t care but one day let me say this, and I wish they would read this comment if no other there will be a day of reckoning for all of you who scam and take what you have not earned
P.S. my husband and I was scammed out of 40,000+ and the person that did it got up and left and was not able to be found but I rest in the comfort of knowing that Gal:6:7 is still in effect u get by for a while but u WILL NOT GET AWAY! Ur real pay day will come.
I hope that 911 operator is fired. That is not appropriate behavior in an emergency. As for you guys, you’re awesome and saved so many people and who knows how many lives.
I agree she was so rude
why are police women so mean dude
@@vsah8521 that was a 911 call operator not a police officer
@@Beorno both women job thingy mbobers are mean.
Agreed, the 911 operator was totally unprofessional and shouldn't have hung up on a civilian reporting a crime period.
As a training first responder the 911 operator was out of line. She was getting very aggressive and dismissive, it sickens me. People are in need of help that is your job to get people help no questions asked. Thank God for Trilogy Media and other channels like them for stepping up for these victims. Love you guys, keep doing what you are doing. And from the bottom of my being and soul, thank you. Thank you. Thank you for all you do💛
Thank you for speaking up especially that you know this field better than all of us! I’m a supervisor for a state call center and if one of my agents spoke to a member this way we would be having a very long convo with written final. We deal with both members and providers but when members call upset that they can’t get their meds or get a procedure done it’s our job to show empathy, use our listening skills and find a resolution. Plan and simple! I feel it’s the same with any phone job. Thank you @erynbowman8530 for training amazing first responders!
You never know what they go through man, she could've been on the phone with a suicidal person that took their own life, you really never know and they hear some of the worst stuff no one would wish to hear.

That operator should be fired.
Typical woman on her period
I work at a nursing home and the majority of our residents have some form of dementia. This infuriates me to know that someone would take advantage of my vulnerable people like this.
Most people couldn't care less about people. If money's on the table, they'll push the others away
It’s crazy how she trusts the scammer wholeheartedly but doesn’t trust the guy trying to help her out. This is what these scammers do to these people.
It make me cry she was scared and helpless didn't know who is who
That's how badly they manipulate people and get into their heads.
probably dementia in an early stage, she seemed easily confused
Social engineering is scary
Clearly the scammers took away he trust
You foiled the scammer, prevented a mule from his cut, educated police in real time, and got Patricia's money back to her. What a great story, and a great company. Thank you for all your dedication to helping and educating all good people.
No, they helped the scammer to get away with their crimes, by warning them by being there and not informing the police in time. This what was shown here is exactly how NOT to handle situations like this. So, Trilogy Media gets an F from me.
patricia was part of it, its so easy to tell she want from no she didn't to yes she sent the money , she's making a profit off it too, she couldn't even talk straight and was trying to avoid any confrontation with police and just trying to get them to calm down about the whole situation
they gave her a way out by immediately thinking ofh er as a victim when she could've been apart of it, she trying to act like a victim now
@@jr6905 I don’t think the 70 year old grandma is part of a scam organization
These hindi fux need to be stuffed into a prison. Brandon administration should be demanding action. It has gotten out of hand and India thinks its all a big joke. We should withhold aide and see what happens, but we won't.
You guys are a blessing! I get emails all the time claiming there’s a charge on my Amazon account or my PayPal. The first thing I do is go to my accounts to see this charge. When I don’t see anything, I delete the email and mark it as scam. Please stay with it guys, we need you!❤
You guys are awesome! I'm a police officer, command staff, thank you for being on our side of the blue line. What you do is absolutely invaluable in the fight to stop these guys. Keep up the good work.
The very cool thing ab out it is, the cops listened and they didn't try to rile things up., Instead they talked at a very calm voice and really tried to listen and understand what was going on.
Many people have stepped in to try to prevent a crime from happening, and many police officers for some reason tend to go bananas and not really paying attention.
Maybe they were bored or didn't want to be bothered or something and they usually respond with. "You're gonna have to take that up with so and so". 🤷♀🤦♂
THESE police officer's though, really tried to understand and tried to really help out to solve a crime in progress.
Which is really awesome. Not all of us are bad out here LOL 🥰🥰🥰 there are some really good citizens left. 😁👍
I support cops, I don't support gang members and the blue line is a sign of a gang members. These officers did a good job.
You fukked up mentioning the blue line , we tax payers do not like that on our flag or the uniforms we pay for and you don't believe it just ask the citizens in your town 🤔
There’s no such thing as a “blue line”. Stop spreading that narrative. Good police are gold, bad ones need to be in jail. What you just typed makes me think you wouldn’t report a bad one. I seriously suspect you aren’t a real cop if you post something like that. 🤷🏻♀️
If only cops had the same reliable reputation as scam-baiters do.
Dispatch lady needs to be charged with purposely hanging up on a 911 call.
totally unprofessional
Last time I called 911, I caught a thief in the act of stealing my Suburban and I had him physically detained. I told them to send police NOW, because I had the guy there on the ground. The dispatcher instead decided to ask me if the guy was wearing a uniform, if he was in a tow truck, if I had missed any payments (on a 1999 Suburban in 2023). The guy got away and hopped in the car with his accomplice, and the police never even showed up. I wasn’t able to get a clear picture of the license plate because I was on the phone with the dispatcher and running after the car, so it was blurry. It was incredibly unprofessional! When someone calls 911 and asks you to send police, dispatch first, then ask questions!
Awful dispatch lady hanging up like that disgraceful
Press charges to the dispatcher. What a moron
True!! Imagine a life and death situation, seconds from something happening to you, you call 911 and they fcking hang up, thanks police I guess now i'm dead?????!!!
I'm sitting here shaking and crying with joy because you were able to save a real victim. You are all amazing!
Heartwarming yes, but if your actually shaking you should see a doctor.
I’ve watched this multiple times now. This one was really crazy. I can’t really describe how it feels to see our elderly friends protected. Maybe a reverse skydive would be the best description. It’s like happiness, fear, anxiety, & anger combined.

Patricia was so deep in the scam she couldnt believe she was being scammed even after she was told she was being scammed. These scammers are just terrrible people
Yeah, she was so dark deep in it! It’s mind boggling, I can’t believe it!!
Im sorry but it seemed a little bit staged.....
No he ist not from india...
Wtf!?
The saddest part about this is that even the police have no idea what's going on. Basically, they could be the next victims in a decade or two...
I disagree. I believe as time progresses and the world naturally becomes more involved with technology, the cyber-scam industry will slowly fade away especially if people start to bring more awareness to this issue.
Remember, the only reason why these scams work in the first place is because they target 65+ yr old victims who lived most of their life in a time where technology and the internet wasn't as prevalent as it is now.
Just like Indian police who are total fraudsters. Your American police are totally illiterate. They are just by standers to this crime. If they are proactive these scammers and their money mules would have been in jail long time back. This is very unfortunate situation. Even to talk to your police and explain this is very difficult. They are focusing on catching kids smoking ganja. Such an achievement 🙂

P.S. English not my native language, so if I'm wrong - sorry. Hope you can understand me :) Because, if i try to say anything in my native language - you can't understand me, even by using Google Translate, i suppose
They need retraining in a LOT of things; that was disgusting to watch
Im so glad the police officers actually took the time to investigate this situation. Usually they don't. So I'm very happy they did.
Usually they don't??? You are making quite an assumption based on opinion only. I was an officer for over 30 years. YES WE INVESTIGATE. In fact, many agencies work directly with the feds on EXACTLY this type of fraud. Why so anti police?
@@Belg6179 ohh, I'm not saying that. Sorry I kinda misword it. I meant to say "usually they can't" because the problem is overseas and the police can't really do anything about it because the scammer is in a foreign country.. so I'm glad they can do somethinng about the money mule situation.
I truly hope these kinds videos and moments set a precedent for local and international police departments, lawmakers in the future.
Yea the responder was rude as tho
This time they can do something because there is a lot of video footage of the suspects so it's a great start
Hi, I'm Dr. Peter from Nigeria and seeing what you guys do for humanity is just incredible! There are a lot of scammers across the world, particularly in India and Nigeria. These criminals here in Nigeria really give us a bad name and I love what you guys are doing. Good job guys!

Thank you for trying to help this woman. Some guy in Jamaica scammed my mother out of so much money she was sending to him we had to sell her home to get her out of debt. She moved in with my sister . I contacted the attorney general in Missouri and never got a response. She had no food in the house and was about to have her utilities turned off. I hope you catch all of these scum bags

I was a UPS driver for 35/years this was cool. I got to work with some feds on elderly scams it felt great to help out.
Glad that Trilogy Media decided to put their foot down when they were on the phone with the Newark Police to tell them, "hey, I can't move not knowing whether someone is going to pick up a package with stolen money, so please get down here right away!" Who knows what would've happened if you left the scene. Great job, you guys, and congratulations! 🎉🎊
Honestly this is scary that the Police were sorta enabling the scammers......

@@helgafrahmann4201in which scams calls centre are you working?
That situation with Patricia was absolutely heartbreaking. She was clearly being manipulated to an extreme extent that I didn’t even think was possible, and the scammer deserves locking up for a long time.
That 911 operator was a total jackass, btw.
I think people that are being scammed don't want to believe that they have lost a large amount of money, so they continue to cooperate with the scammer, even when it is shown to them what is actually happening.
Beautiful thing getting that elderly womans money back to her.
Naaa that daft cow deserved to be scammed. More money than sense. This daft cow even took a call from the scammer while they were talking to her and believed them?!!
Such a heartwarming story at the end ....shame on the 911 operator who was a jerk. That was uncalled for and they should be reprimanded for their callousness. You guys are saviours and we love the work you do!
Yes she was terrible 😅 maybe a bad day but nonetheless the situation called for immediate action
Today was a good day huh
To be fair, a cop stopping in front of a specific residence in question is dangerous with what they're alleging. Its completely reasonable to not want to show their hand until they establish the actual situation.
@@EPiQ_cR they are cops if they are scared then perhaps they shouldn't be cops. Asking them to move was not a lawful order not to mention these people were obviously calling to help
@@Barbles88 it isn’t about fear, it’s proper policing to not intentionally escalate a situation. Establishing details on a situation before engaging directly in it is fairly standard.
Otherwise every cop may as well show up to every call with an armored vehicle and guns drawn, right?
Patrica was so incredibly brainwashed by these guys. These scams seem so obvious to me. Its so weird that folks fall so hard for this nonsense. Thank you for helping.
That's why mostly old folks fall victim to these scams. It's obvious to most people with an understanding of today's world, but not always as much with the older generation.
It was scary how Patricia seemed to be afraid that she was in trouble when they first called her. It stopped her from understanding what they were trying to tell her. Those scammers really got into her head.
a famous scambaiter (jim browning) did a bit for vice recently - and he admitted that he fell for a scam too!!! ruclips.net/video/CZbEQsKLRZQ/видео.html
Poor old broads.
While these scams seem completely obvious to you, do not fall into the trap of thinking you never could fall for any scam … that makes you an overconfident victim. See spear phishing.
It depends, really. There are multiple scams for hitting different age groups, so while some are very obvious (deliberately, so they dont need to deal with that), and others that arent.
Oh sweet Patricia...my heart stopped when I heard that area code, she's in my own backyard. So many angels were with you that day making sure she got her money back. Excellent teamwork! Scammers used to laugh at me and mock me when I said Trilogy Media are my friends. Now, they sound sad, and hang up.

I don't think the cops would've been as confused if just one of you guys talked at a time. When you talk over each other all crazy like that, it feels kinda sketchy. Still ..congrats on being able to help that old lady get her money back. Y'all doing great work out there.
My exact thoughts.
Its still a complicated thing to wrap your head around
Yeah I see that, I also think it was because they didn’t understand the scam, so at first it seemed like they thought the lady was involved in the check fraud. They’re like “why would this lady just send these guys 25k” and didn’t realize the extent of just how orchestrated it is. At least they know now and know what to look for.
Snuggi Without your suggestion , they did a great job and the cops understood quite well .. Insn't that something !
Congratulations, guys. I am so happy for Patricia (and you two, as well). You guys are true HEROE!!! Keep up the great work!!
Thanks Trilogy.
I am Indian national and I am extremely ashamed to see this and other videos on your channel. I myself and my wife received calls from these scam centers claiming themself as IRS officer, Immigration officer, CBP officer with name as John, Ryan etc...... and use the "Indian accent". I have always confronted them and tried to stop them, but they are low life scumbags - use bad language, curse at you and hang-up the phone.
You are doing very good job. Please keep on crushing these roaches.
@koustubhashtekar9969 please can you work out how best apply local pressure can be made on these identified scammers. Indian's have written saying local family and friends need to be sent the evidence to be family shamed. What is best way for this to be done as so far every lovely Indian I have spoken with is unwilling to take stand. What happened to Ghandi sentiment?. Standing together. Something needs to happened locally. In addition to each of us raising awareness in our local countries.
Ashtekar I was scammed by a middle eastern guy. I think from India. As a Black man always helping anyone. He made me loose faith in humanity. I feel bad for the next person who truly needs help.
Hi! You shouldn't be ashamed. There are scoundrels everywhere. The government and poverty are to blame for so many scammers in India. Nationality has nothing to do with it.
Unfortunately in India you can find the best of the best people and on the other side the worst of the worst. It's also a country with such a huge population...that even something with the small numbers there is a huge number elsewhere.
Instead of being ashamed do something, like write to your local Indian politician and demand legal reform to make prosecutions easier on victims required to give statements. Who wants to communicate with another online Indian right after being scammed by one? Prosecution needs to be easier.
I am from India, Kolkata one of the scammer's major hubs, I guess. Your documentary is worth screening amongst much wider audiences. What particularly struck me was your perseverance throughout that unfolding drama. You guys showed the world what "aware citizenry" means. That selfless dedication towards a social service as demonstrated by your team is a testament to evolved civic life. I will be keen to help you if you may need my help anytime.God bless you!
Hindu religion is demonic that is why the demons influence them to steal, kill & destroy (rape is rampage in India)! I am speaking truth! Turn back to worship Almighty God-Jesus Christ or burn in hell fires for all these sins including worship Hindus demons they called gods & goddess! Repent!

@@rowenacountryman2242 You mean I am a Scammer/scammers?
If you live there, you can be civic minded as well, and help prevent this cruelty from home.
Young men who suddenly have jobs at these “call centers” should be shamed and ostracized.
I have seen on Scam Baiter channel that many of these young men are lying to their families about where their sudden wealth comes from.
And apparently the police there are being bribed to do nothing.
I wish you understood how the people who rob our vulnerable seniors make your whole country seem corrupt.
I have so many elderly patients who will not talk to anyone on the telephone who has an Indian accent.
That is not fair to the vast majority of people in your country, but it is the reality.
In many people’s minds, India=scammers. Therefore Indians are not to be trusted.
You can help by demanding the police shut the call centers down, and by preventing your boys from becoming scammers. Even being vocal about how wrong it is to scam others could save one life.
@silentlatif unfortunately the scammers try every trick in the book so even your kind gesture are motives that will be questioned. Sad, as many people from India are kind and generous. These people will undermine the view of your people.
This made my day. That conversation with Patricia at the end was one of the most encouraging human encounters I've witnessed in a long time. Way to go guys.
Oh I have tears in my eyes because of your help to this woman. I get several calls a day from these call centers but I know what and who they are and I just give them BS right back so it is very satisfying to see that you guys helped this woman not to be a victim. Thank you!
This is hands down the most selfless thing I've ever seen,these guys are beautiful people,I was overjoyed to see them help Patricia and how he told dispatch I'm not taking my eyes off that package,when she asked him to move away,I just love it!!!!!!!Those scammers are disgusting people!!!!
Wow, California's finest. I guess they need to ask questions to learn but they are really slow on the pick up. Atleast they got her her money back.
Or I hope she did. I'm trying really hard to believe they are going to do right by her
I completely agree!
@@Celestial_Reach Ya when they talked to her after she got her money back she said she did and she thanked them
This was one of the best scambait video outcomes that I've seen. I was a little concerned when Pat was still talking with the scammer, as well as when she didn't want the package opened. I thought that she was going to resend it to the dirty rotten scammer, but it all turned out great. You guys should be so proud of what you do, and the difference that you make.
@C J W Don't be stupid.
Did the cops look scripted? Was the 911 call scripted?
My heart just broke when I heard the fear in her voice when you first contacted her. She looks like my mom who has passed recently and passed from dementia. I was always watching over her, she had many calls made to her but I told her no bank will call her asking for money, or the IRS. Eventually she moved in with me for hospice care and passed peacefully surrounded by her family. You guys truly are angels. Thank you for what you do.
I know I'm a stranger, but... I'm sorry to hear about your mom. She must've been a sweet lady. 💔
It's never easy to say goodbye to a family member. But so long as you don't forget about them, they'll never truly be gone.
You guys truly are heroes to these elderly ladies! Please keep up your great work! 👍👏💝
Thank you so much for protecting our elderly and vulnerable people everyday, you rock!
I think it’s time for Banks to question these elderly people when they withdraws large amounts of money. God bless you guys.
Some do, some don't. The ones that don't are the problem.
@@JayJDubba It's the same with gift cards. Some stores have warning signs on the display and some don't. Some employees ask and some don't.
there is only so much a bank teller can do. i bet they are not allowed to ask certain types of questions there is not much a bank teller can do it's their money the bank can't just say well nope you can't have it. they can alert the police or try and let the victim know what's going on but they can't refuse to give someone their money
Man I damn near cried at the end. So happy to know you guys are out there helping the people who need it most. Patricia is an angel. Yall are legends
I did have tears of happiness. Nice to see some victories in this time and day.
It’s all an act, with actors. The cops aren’t real. Their belt setup is bull, no tasers, and not a single radio transmission? This channel is crap. Thought you would want to know. What are the cops names? They never give them cuz those can be verified. Open your eyes!
I was so anxious as it was unfolding. I was literally on the edge of my seat. I could hardly take the waiting & suspense! What a perfect surprise pkg for the team!!
I can not even begin to wrap my head around that freaking 911 dispatch operator!!! That was absolutely UNACCEPTABLE
Why do 911 operators get so frustrated? And hanging up on someone trying to get help is ridiculous. GET A NEW JOB
BUT you guys have the perfect job. Way to go!
911 operators are seriously frustrating. Every time I’ve called 911 for an accident or something they ask the dumbest questions and it’s like they don’t even listen to you. And they keep you waiting forever to answer the phone.
@daCubanaqt can confirm. Last time I had to call 911 for an emergency the guy I talked to was a huge d bag and told me the cops were too busy to come even though I was actively watching a crime happen. I get that cops are busy, but why TF was this guy so rude to a stranger asking for help?
@@ashcharliepennyziggy I’m sure you can call your local town/city hall and ask about the total number of 911 calls they receive on average. They might even provide that info on their website. A moderately large city gets inundated with calls, a majority of which aren’t emergencies or warrant the attention of emergency responders. Examples of junk calls may include someone calling because some kids are playing loudly outside during daylight hours, the caller’s cat is stuck in a tree, or someone calling from their car complaining that a motorist is speeding. In a given shift, only a fraction of the total number of employed first responders are on active patrol or available for response and it’s the dispatcher’s job to determine the severity of the call and appropriately allocate the necessary personnel and resources. I’m not excusing rude or dismissive behavior but it can be a very stressful job. The police department where I live is so understaffed that a crime like burglary is considered least concern.
It's like everyone in law enforcement has the same shitty attitude including dispatchers

Thank you guys for doing what you do. As a 52yo disabled lady, I appreciate this very much. I was almost a victim of a scam call like this a couple years ago and I'm so glad I let my "Spidey Senses" tell me this was a scam. They got very angry with me when I told them I had to call my bank, etc. and that is what sold me on the fact that it was all kinds of wrong.
Watching this video with Patricia, I can't help but think of what would happen to this sweet lady or where I would be today (likely homeless) if I'd gone thru with the demands they made on me. It's disgusting what these people do - taking advantage of the elderly or less tech-savvy folks. If only today's world were filled with people who only wanted good things for their neighbours and fellow community members.
Again, thanks for doing what ya do, gents🙏🏼. Hat's off to you.

She is so lucky you guys were there to help her out, even after denying the truth. She would have lost so much money. Its crazy how easy it is for them to get away. Amazing job
I gotta say, I'm really impressed with how Ashton spoke to the poor lady. Just the level of sincerity and emotion was really impressive. I normally see videos where you both confront the scammer and being a bit more intense (which i also love) but that call really made me smile. Thank you guys. You're both wonderful.
My son was scammed when he was around 25-year-old and to this day (years later) he feels a sense of failure as a result of being scammed. If you were scammed, do not feel shame. You were a victim, but you are not a criminal. Most likely you are a very caring and compassionate person.
That lady is completely lost in space! Some of these so called victims sometimes deserve what they get especially when people are giving them warning signs.

It's so frustrating watching victims interacting with scambaiters. I get it that scams can be convincing, but if someone tells you there is a chance you're being scammed that should send off bells in your head no matter what the circumstance is.

I really hope Patricia was able to see through the scammers tactics and came back to reality and didn’t send the package back out to the scammer after it got returned to her by the police.
Wow, I am totally blown away right now. This video is not only filled with education about how scams work and the tactics scammers use; it's also filled with the heartfelt moment of someone being financially saved. Trilogy Media always says that if it wasn't for the kind generosity of the squad, these videos wouldn't happen, and we appreciate the acknowledgement. That being said, these videos would not happen if it weren't for everyone at Trilogy Media HQ, from the sacrifice they make by being on the road so much and putting their own lives in jeopardy as they don't know what awaits them when heading to expose a scammer or money mules, to all the hard work back in the office with editing and the collaborations they do with others who are doing what they can to help expose scammers, waste their time, and save people too. And there are plenty of livestreams on a regular basis, as well as a whole lot of other content on Trilogy+, which is awesome! #ThankYouTrilogyMedia #BaitAndSave #SubToTrilogyPlus

8:51 I'm literally crying right now, that is so sad and sick of the scammer. 😭

WOW...seeing 911 act like that I have NO FAITH in our legal system! Treating these guys like THEY'RE doing something wrong is absolutely ridiculous!!!
What are you talking about?
They did exactly the right thing.
They didn’t see what we saw, and had to be brought up to speed.
If not for the police, the woman wouldn’t have gotten her money back.
@@docinparadise this is a case where time is of the essence and if he would have followed the dispatchers instructions that package would have been gone.
@samomico9536 correct, but the dispatcher is trying to keep the caller safe and preserve the evidence. They have to have some sort of procedure and no procedure is guaranteed for all scenarios. They just all did their best. The only criticism I'd have is of the journalists who should have called the police the moment they knew any kind of crime was being committed at this address. Btw Is it legal to produce large quantities of fake notes in the US? Were the police already in on it?
Well technically they should have called the police line, not 911. It's not a life threatening situation
@@nichegoseberazdvatriit was a situation where time was of the essence so wtf is the big deal
Several years ago the scammers tried to pull the "Overpaid refund bank cashier check" scam on me. I took the envelope with the cashiers check to the USPS Inspector for fingerprint analysis. Since the scammers used the USPS they were charged with US federal felonies.
By the way I am a retired police officer. It wasn't my first Rodeo. It was my first time in the victim's seat.
Years ago I got a fake cheque and a fake money order when I did not respond to the first letter, in the mail. I had applied for a secret shopper job which turned out to be a scam. As soon as I saw the fake things I knew it was a scam and did my first youtube video but I am very shy and did not get many views. Still, I watch these guys because I am grateful for anyone who educates potential victims as well as appreciate how hard these guys work to help victims and beat the scammers.
They've stopped so low, the mules in the US stealing your Identity, Social Security #, and even with Life lock, they have everything-- Direct Express!
Some with the motels that ask for a card, after paying cash, had my card and money!
@Northtide I don't believe you. The investigative process with USPS and chain of evidence regarding fingerprints on mail does not work that way. 😂 Nice story though.
A civilian cannot hand mail to a USPS Investigator to have " Fingerprinted ". Once the envelope is touched and opened , the " chain " of evidence has become tainted and unusable in any investigation of a common nature. MAYBE the CIA could use it to catch a terrorist, but unlikely and not a chance for mail fraud.
FedEx and UPS should create a task force to help with these crimes
Thank you for helping these victims ❤
For real. Duct taped shoe boxes sent to an abandoned address multiple times per day should raise some pretty obvious red flags...
Yes, I made a similar comment just now that they should be trained and aware of what's going on and some kind of protocol for dealing with these situations.
Already have that in canada. Noone cares enough to try because if they are wrong they loose their jobs.
Those drivers, and their loss prevention people are over-worked and underpaid. I used to work for a contractor for UPS processing claims. Those companies don't really feel like that's something they should be doing. Unless and until the companies are held liable in some way. But, it would be a great marketing idea to advertise that they are stepping up their game to prevent suspicious packages from being delivered.
Don't hold your breath.
@@TheEvilDrR right, they don't care unless it's affecting their business in some way so they need an incitive and maybe their marketing would be a start. We're moving toward a cashless society anyway so I'm not sure if it would be something they would consider investing into it at this point in the game
WOW! Hand of God intervening on behalf of Patricia through Trilogy Media! Great job, guys! Ashton, you are so sweet and patient when you are talking to the victims! God bless you all for your work!
Great job guys and my hat is off to the police officers also. Fantastic to see them working along side the honest citizens.
I’m so happy you found Patricia and she gets her money back. Thank goodness you were there. The second 911 operator was so rude! 👏🏼🙌🏼 Good Job!
These videos cause so much anxiety, it's a rollercoaster, but it's so amazing that the police took you seriously and did something
That 911 operator though!
Perhaps the police were not going to be helpful,
keen to arrest Art & Ash for parking violation (on private land?),
they just wanted to see you grab the box, to put the cuffs on.
Luckily, you got these guys on a good day,
they were at least willing to listen.
Art camera view was really high up :)
The dispatch lady almost foiled the whole thing 😮…
There should be a national Code for this sort of thing; so when Trilogy Media or another organization call it in; the police department dispatch can comprehend what’s at stake!
And the best way to do that, is getting this information about Scammers, out in the open.
You guys rock!❤
Good idea, one problem. Ever heard of being swatted? People could use this code to get the police to go somewhere else where there isn’t an emergency while others need help. (I know I am late)
@@derrrick1407 It’s always those awful incidents, caused by awful people, that ruin what could be good or is good for decent people.
Not really trilogy media kinda botched the whole thing. They scared the mule off. What she was saying was that they should move away from the house to talk to police so the mule won't be scared away and they can potentially charge him and or find out more about the operation through him. Yea it's good they got her money but the mule is still out there probably getting more money at a different address.
@@razerscale3590 yeah they aren’t really the smoothest 😆
I’d definitely do things differently. Being an ex criminal myself; I see angles that others don’t and sometimes it’s hard to watch the cringey ignorance 😆
Plus w that amount of $ on the line, things can go south very quickly! The people need to know that PayPal never contacts anyone by email nor by phone; US mail only & they ask you to check their licensed trademark against one shown while also warning to look for misspellings that could indicate someone is foreign. I almost fell for that 8 yrs ago! The email PayPal insignia was almost exact replica, no mistakes in English so I called the number. They read off last 4 digits of my checking account so made me think they were valid. I heard others have a lot of noise in the background so remembered a recent 20/20 showing call centers in India w lots f background noise. I woke my son who immediately took phone & said rude things. I was ashamed my son spoke so rudely, so quickly. Guess what? He was right & had seen a couple RUclips channels so knew immediately they were scamming me.. trying to. What's scary is how long it took me to believe my son was right & I was being so ignorant! I had to pay to change checking account fee, order all new checks, am disabled from arthritis so knowing these guys are doing this, brought tears to my eyes. That could have been me, although I wouldn’t have felt compassionate enough to save their jobs. I’d make them click some more & fix it before changing checking accounts & all passwords. I canceled PayPal forever, too. I don’t have any banks on line or phones. I won’t use cash app, much to kids’ chagrin bc of these vile criminals! Thx to this channel & all others like them!❤❤❤
omg the ending. so heartwarming. im so glad everything worked out for her. absolutely love that i found this channel & love what you guys are doing. amazing amazing work. faith in this world has been restored.
God bless you guys. Seeing a real victim being helped so tremendously (25 thousand!!) is so amazing to see. What you are doing matters & these people are pieces of garbage.
$25k damn that was my year salary in 2015-2018
Wow. You guys saved Patricia's retirement savings. This is seriously amazing. Watching you guys save lives is worth more than just a like on RUclips. Keep it up
YOUR THE CHINÉESE GUY WITH THE BROWN BAG
@@fettiboimook that was my first thought too!
@@fettiboimook hahahhaa. I wish I was. Would have been so famous from it
@@fettiboimook they weren't BUT they might as well have been. That man with the bag is around to pick up tomorrows box at a diff house.
I can't even lie Patricia is a raging r3tard she deserves this
I hope UPS was alerted not to drop anymore packages at that address.
This is truly a miracle that you guys were there. Thank you for all you do. I wish elderly people could be convinced not to answer calls from numbers they don’t recognize. I never answer calls from random numbers - even if it appears to be from a local business. I figure if it’s important they’ll leave a message. By the way, I myself am “elderly” (if 67 is considered elderly).
have to be so careful these days. I would get calls from the "IRS", "Social Security" saying I owed them money or else I would be arrested. I would get these scam calls so often mostly in the morning that I got an answering machine. Now that I have an answering machine, they always hang up without leaving a message. That's how I weed out the scammers now. The real callers always leave a message.
@@jgstargazer - Yes, voice mail is what I have. What really upsets me is I bet the telephone companies could end “spoofing” on caller ID but they don’t want to spend the money (spoofing if when a phone number appears on the caller ID that is not the number the call originates from).
Exactly. If it's important they leave a message. If not why answer anyway.
Seriously you guys could have not been more obvious about everything.I'm surprised you guys are able to hunt anything.Lol
4/1/23 this day I had a call just as you described from a Kiwi born Indian who spoke very good English with a slight Indian ascent.
He rang to tell me in polite English that there were scammers out there scamming my such in such internet.
What gave him away was my providers were not the ones he spoke of being my providers.
Right off I known him to be fake and promptly hang up.
Latter I was sorry to have done that as I should have lead him on in the hope he might have told me stuff by mistake.
If there is a next time I'll surly string them along.
Please report that dispatcher
So I have only recently came across the multiplex of channels like yours. My 83 yo Aunt was scammed out of 6K just months before she passed 3 yrs ago. It warms my heart to see you guys doing this good work. THANK YOU!
This brought tears to my eyes, a perfect ending helping an innocent victim from these scammers.
Congratulations guys, another one bites the dust. Yes it's an older video but this video needs to be seen hell of a lot more than 4.4 million, glad you helped that poor woman.
I am sooooo happy you were able to save that poor woman from losing that money! You’re amazing for doing what you do!! Thank you!
