Wife works for major bank as a FA. 3-4 times a year she would come home with tears in her eyes about how her clients, who are elderly living on a fixed income would be scammed out of 1000's even 10000s, wifes that just lost their husbands then scammed out of the life insurance. She would come home and feel absolutely helpless. You have given the most important person in my life a fighting chance to help her clients. Thank you
I’m a mean old 65 yo lady. Since I’m retired, I have way too much time on my hands not to lead these guys down the rosey path. Thank you for being there for my fellow old folks that take these guys seriously. You’re a great kid and do great work. ♥️

4:25 That "WOOOOOOOOOHHWW. LET'S GO!" Is the raw emotion of a good Samaritan who has humanity in his heart. And genuinely passionate about having helped that potential victim. He wasn't motivated by money reward or any other incentive other than helping victims through sheer human compassion and empathy!
He says that a lot as he’s just getting warmed up, ready to rain down on these rats! Love it when he does that or he opens his eyes wide w some shock at how angry they get. Truly cracks me up!
Dude you are an angel to these people. DON"T SKIP HIS ADS THIS GUY NEEDS TO BE PAID FOR WHAT HE DOES. His service is absolutely priceless to the people he helps.
I hope you realize what your doing to these people. Im a single dad of 3 daughters, they are my world. I don't have alot of money.. Not even close.. If this happened to me and my bank account was scammed i would lose everything... Literally everything.. My girls and me wouldnt have a roof over our head nor food. Some of these victims live this way too.. You could be saving their lives. What your doing is absolutely great and you could be saving so much more then just a bank account. Thank you so so much. Thank you.
Your situation resonates with me. Hope there will be more Perogis helping people out there🙏. Also US data privacy laws should be tightened, and India (in future any other country that catches up with information technology services) should enforce cybersecurity seriously / though laws in text are strict enough. India should create a special wing at the center level whose some focus be to eliminate these scammers, otherwise these guys eventually evolve into a stage of posing threat to their national security as well.
@@virgotrevino7754 I would love to know how they got my information. Mine even opened up an account in my name and started draining my other bank account at the same bank 😔 It's absolutely insane!!

I've got an open report with the fbi they're not doing much that I'm aware of and I've had these people stealing they've hacked over 600 passwords between all my google accounts and crypto mining. I get jason and Kevin a lot
Thank you so much for what you do Pierogi!! ❤ you're an absolute legend and LOVE watching you completely OWN these scammers, making it a lot harder to do their scams and saving so many of their would be victims! 😀👏👏 one other thing I'll say is just a kind suggestion: it would be awesome if you explored tackling loan scammers in addition to the tech support scammers if you all have the capacity to do so. I got taken for a ride for $1000 about 5 years ago.
I am from India. These people don't just scam foreigners, they target elderly Indians regularly. I have saved my parents several times and taught them how to identify such calls. Thanks for the work you do mate.
Paid like 5000 rupees for an Alto Car which I was told to won in a competition that I don't even know..... But never got the car!! I learned a lesson that day..
A friend of my dad got scammed from his income. He lost 2 lac because of scammers and the scam wasn’t even sophisticated. The scammer said that he will recharge his phone and then asked for otp and scammed him.
What revolts me is how these scammers are allowed to freely go on with their thefts. Why aren't the US and European governments cracking down on these crimes and criminal organizations? Why does Google allow the scammers to advertising their link? How can they even call people over here, over the ocean, to scam so easily like that?
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess they cant do anything because they operate from foreign countries. They are in my country as well and corrput politicians partly own these scamming companies, so they are protected from the law
I worked for Dollar General as a store manager and I absolutely hated that we could not deny sales if they insisted. I had a older lady getting hit by the IRS scam come in to buy $1500 in ITunes gift cards and I desperately tried to explain that it was a scam and the IRS would never call and ask for gift cards but she refused to listen to me. I even called my DM and he told me if I refused her I could loose my job. After I was forced to sell her the cards I called the local PD who came and tried to tell her she was scammed while she was sitting in the parking lot giving the scammers the card numbers and she refused to listen to them too. I work for walmart now and we can refuse the sale if we believe the customer is getting scammed. Thank you for what you do. It breaks my heart seeing innocent people be fleeced like this.
My class mate in college had an Amazon scammer call her the other day, and as I entered the study room that she was in, the scammer was having her download remote access software. Thankfully I knew it was a scam immediately and stopped them from accessing her pc!
That is awesome! One of the best things we can do watching this is learning all about it to share knowledge so others won't be scammed #WeAreAllScambaiters
i got scammed couple years ago . its so embarrassing . Thanks to the RUclipsrs like you who exposes these people. its so so so ethically wrong to scam someone. keep up the good work
And you know what is really hurtful how many people are talking about small amounts like 20 quid!! They DON'T have money and they DON'T CARE. Pure evil... pure pure evil
A local elderly woman just got hit for 9k in Lowe’s gift cards. I feel so bad for her and the local Lowe’s should of steeped in to help prevent this. You’re doing the lord’s work. Keep blasting these SOB’s
I was able to actually able to stop this from happening at my Lowe's where I work. And it was because of videos like this that I knew what to look for.
They go hard with scamming towards the holiday season because they know that's when the most spending is going on. People get bonuses, gift cards, ect. The scammers are drooling at the mouth for it. They don't even celebrate Christmas/Hannukah and yet they love it because it's when they get the most victims.
@@brentfarvors192 that's mainly for actual theft of items. At self checkout, we can't process more than 1 or 2 gift cards. And only Lowe's cards. And we have to key the amount in for them. This was how I caught on to the one lady, she was buying 8 cards, told her that I couldn't process that many at self checkout, but as she was walking away I see she is on the phone and sprung into action.
Yeah I’ve been thinking about that. I wish he had a better title to call himself to make it seem more official and have a better reason to be listening in on the calls. Idk it all works out in the end but if this happened to me I’d be so confused who is a scammer and who isn’t
What is more believable: Getting Giftcards for a refund, instead directly returning by online banking? Or that someone is calling you trying to avoid a scam and pleasing you „do nothing!! I don‘t want anything from you but doing nothing! Hang up! It’s a scam!“?
I got CHILLS when you celebrated reaching the first one you did because I could feel the satisfaction of helping save someone from being scammed. You are doing an amazing thing. Thank you and please, never stop doing this. You have a lifetime supporter here. Thank you Pierogi
How I love that you're now intercepting the scam calls to let the potential victim know that they're on the line with a scammer. This is next level stuff, you da dude for helping people like this.
Doesn't help that google makes no effort to prevent fraudulent ads. Sure, they'll take them down 6-18 months after they've been reported but there's no proactive approach. I don't understand why they can't do that but they can have their algorithms filter out speech and news that they don't agree with. The almighty dollar wins again.
Thank you for doing this. My husband fell for one of these scams and the left only $45 in my bank account. It was one of the worst moments in my life when I found out. He thought he was talking to Apple Support for computer issues he was having
You are a GODSEND my friend! My son worked at a CVS and stopped several seniors from purchasing gift cards . Several times he would have a difficult time convincing his customers that they were indeed being scammed. Keep up the good work!
I thank them everytime they ask me when I buy Google play cards for my kids. It's got to be hard having to be that person to have to try to stop a scam, especially as just a sales associate, so I think they need to hear it.
My darlin works at the front end of a walmart, I have shown her some of your content just to help her stay aware of how this all works. You are helping us keep our guests safe by spreading knowledge, thanks!
I'm being pestered by persistent attempts to scan me. They stared with calls which I just blocked persistatly, but now they're trying to get my info by staying that a packet needs to be delivered so full in the form and I'll be brought to you. There's no sender details available of course not country of origin. It's supposedly sent via DPS. I just reported it today, but it's very unsettling and I'm retreating from many previous activities for fear of my data being misused. I'm 75 and wanted a quiet, peaceful old age instead we must all live in fear. Thanks for the great work you do sir with all your colleagues and colaborators.
Talk about going above and beyond by calling the store and speaking to management when you couldn’t get a hold of the person. You really are an incredible person Pierogi.
This guy is literally saving so many lives. I mean someone would have worked so hard for the money to get their children into a good College,buy a good house for their family and these scammers just rip off their dreams and laugh at them enjoying their hard earned money. Come on bruh.... That's really fucked up I hope all the scammers get caught and huge respect for this guy ❤️❤️ who saves so many people.
The fact that Google doesn't police this very well, despite the fact that they can sure keep track of anything you say or do on the internet, can make one wonder if Google doesn't have an comercial interest in not policing scammers.
@@InFamesable but there social justice warriors in any other situation, so how does your Capitolistic answer reconcile my statement? Not that I'm against Capitolism, but some sense of decency, and Capitolism can co-exist, unless of course your dealing with hypocrites.
@@daf631 I'm just thinking, Google is not hurt by those scammers using Google to scam people, but they get money from that. Google is not known for caring about the people, so why would they care about that. Don't get me wrong, I despise this with all I have, but that's the capitalistic world we live in, unfortunately..at least I never heard of a corporation like Google caring about stuff like that, only profit..but as I said, I'm just hypothesising..maybe it's just impossible to filter stuff like that out, I don't know
this really brings tears to my eyes. I was scammed at my lowest low years ago when I was mentally unstable. they took advantage of my state and sucked me dry. I'm glad that these people were saved, and scam call centres are getting shut down. the amount of scam calls also has decreased a lot all these years. thank you so much. please keep doing what you're doing. May God bless you and protect you always.
I'm an Indian and I'm feeling ashamed of these people for scamming these poor and old people :( I am really sorry I will raise this issue as much as possible from my rnd but truly I am so ashamed. 😢
Love you guys!! I'm an 86 year old Grandma who has fielded MANY scammer calls. I've been fortunate to identify them before they do any damage. Your insights and experiences add to the list of tricks that I've gathered over the years. BLESS YOU!
As someone who has experienced the embarrassment, shame and despair of being scammed, I can put myself in these people's shoes and I feel exactly what they feel. You are doing good work here. Scammers pull out all stops these days and you know how to recognize all of it. Good stuff.
I know I wish I could do it I've heard every scam in the book I was on one friends app it was filled with scammers there is not one I havent heard from forex bitcoin oil rig get cards for fones food I'd love to do this.ive even talked to scammers admitted they were and showed me inside of the place he worked it was small place with 3 workers but he never told the street but it was in Ghana i finally blocked him after he started asking for cards for food
It would be real actually, for that idea if all scambait RUclipsrs join forces they can do it without start a company, yet... But since I discovered about stopping scam call centers videos, it's vicious and satisfying to watch 🤭
@@kzrzart That's true and they all do so much good in this world but the scammers never stop coming. Get rid of one, and 7 pop up. They have the numbers unfortunately
@@kzrzart yes they are knock one over ten come bk u r right it's got awful online you cant even make a friend on a friend app you got to thru 99 scammers to get maybe 1 friend.pitiful
A few weeks ago I was at a CVS and the lady in front of me was going to buy a bunch of Apple Gift Cards. Luckily the manager stepped in and cancelled the sale. When I saw that, I'm glad that managers and employees are more vigilant about these scams and glad that more of them are being thwarted. You are amazing for saving these people right before they were about to lose all their money!
I work at a Dollar general, we can't refuse the sale even if we're 100% sure the person is getting scammed. All we can do is inform them that they maybe getting scammed.
@@tacothewolfdragon Is this a company policy from the higher ups? I wonder if this is to maximize profit or if it has any other actually legitimate reason of being enforced…
@@bg357wg I can see it as a way to maximize profits, but we have a thing called "customer first". As for any other legitimate reason I'm not aware of it.
So scary when he struggles to get a hold of some of these and whether he can stop them in time. I’m glad he’s able to contact some and help them before it’s too late.
I am from India and I love what you do to save the victim from the scammers. May Almighty God blessed you to expose all the scammers and save the elderly folks.
Yeah! If only there's someone else to arrest or kill them. Stopping the payments is like plucking the leaves of a tree. What we need here is cutting the trunk and pulling out the roots. I wish him sending viruses to these assholes' computers
I'm currently binge watching your scammer videos. I really think that the best way to inform people about online scammers is to have a reality t.v show in the US about saving potential victims of these scammers. You see, older people doesn't always watch youtube. A reality tv show would be able to inform them.
There wouldn’t be victims if people had common fucking sense. These scams are not even believable; how anyone could send money to half the schemes they use is beyond me. It’s actually laughable the amount of people who give into them. I don’t feel bad for the victims, lose your money at your own stupidity. When it comes to sending lots of cash, stuff is always verified and you should always consult with your bank.
I get shocked that people fall for this stuff with the way the “customer support” behaves. Like maybe it’s just the area I’m in but I know a lot of elderly folks and they would never put up with being talked to the way a lot of these guys speak when they start to get even mildly irritated. Even when they aren’t angry the whole thing is just extremely unprofessional
Right? Where I'm from if a scammer talked to anyone like this they'd be learning all sorts of fun and creative use of curse words and at least one death threat and a visit from "the lads".
I am a proud citizen of India, a nation known for its huge pool of IT professionals who do great work all around the world. But I am also ashamed that our country does not punish the scammers harshly enough when they are caught. There should be exemplary punishment for the scammers which will act as a strong deterent. Hope we as a nation will do that someday. Secondly, Google and like Search Engines should be made accountable and they should be forced to compensate the victims. Google has the technology and resources to stop such crimes, but they do not do so. For them, it seems a minor distraction or a trivial matter. But they are the ones on whom the Scammers are piggybacking. So they should be held as accomplices in crime. Hats off to this scam buster. More power to him 🙏
@@themikays lots of reasons. There's too many people and not enough opportunities. They still have a caste system that prevents opportunities for success based on what family they're born into and promotes corruption and prevents accountability. And they have a very wide disparity in wealth that impacts everything from access to education, medical care, electricity, clean water, food, everything. There are many parts of India where they will literally do anything they can to get ahead. Doesn't matter who gets hurt in the process.
I really felt it when you got excited after saving that second victim. You're doing a great service to humanity, and your passion for helping others really shows
Amazon does. I work for amazon and they do have a customer support number. But we won’t ask for your phone number or how much the order was for. We know all that.
My best friend is about 75 and they told her she was going to get a 2020 Escalade in the color of her choice but she had to go to the dollar general to get gift cards and I didn’t know what she was talking about. She got scammed again she told me later. Nice work Pierogi. Blessings from the Northwoods of Florida.

It's been said many times before but I'm a retired man who could spend a lot of time intercepting these scams if only I knew how.

I am from India.... These days scammers are the biggest problem all around India. Nothing actions against for them even police. I hope need more people like this men he saved lots of people from scammers.
Very well done Perogie for stopping even more scammers. Roy from Scotland. My question is why are the Indian police not shutting more of these scam call centres down and thowing them into jail for a very long time. They are scamming innocent people worldwide not only in the USA. Keep up your fantastic work. You deserve a medal.
There is a channel where an Indian Scam centre called Geek Club is caught by police and their chief honcho Mohit I think his name is, is arrested along with 4 of the guys.
I used to wonder how you could find the stamina to keep going with this, but now I can see how those times when you succeed in thwarting these scum really helps give you that push to keep going. Thank you for what you do.
This guy is going out of his way to help and people seems so casual ...."Oh thank you" He just saved you from loosing most or all your monies ! Well done man
This channel gives me so much comfort because I have been scammed more times than id like to admit and it really feels like i get a little piece of justice for myself when you help others get out of being scammed. It brings me to tears weirdly. Thank you for what you do.
Watching you save people in real time is seriously beyond satisfying! It's like a victory for humanity and for the good people left in the world! You truly are heroes! Thank you, guys, AND this community for everything you do! 💚
I Salute Pierogi, Jim, Trilogy Media, Mark and other youtubers who spent their time to help victims and giving awareness on these scam issues. Thanks for all the hardworks, God bless you all and More subs to come. Greetings from Philippines.
This was incredible to witness live. Real edge-of-the-seat stuff. When time is of the essence, trying to explain to victims what is happening is always difficult. All the time you're on the phone with one, the scammer is taking call after call with others. On behalf of all victims out there, THANK YOU, to you and Team Payback.
I'm an Indian and it's just so shameful seeing my country's people doing that anyways you are doing the right thing these scam call centers are needed to be stopped
That's got to be hard man ., Because of these scammers it's hard for some of us to not question when we call and get people with different accents than ours ., I had to pay off my furnace for four grand got an Indian gentleman and it was difficult to not have a negative bias ., It all worked out .
It was definitely crazy and really stressful during the last one when we we're watching it happen live on twitch, we were definitely glad to find out that the store manager stopped her after all
@@TheGLOSSette Exactly. I am disabled and mostly bed bound. I do try to catch live streams on Twitch and RUclips, but I miss most of them. Glad Pierogi was able to save these folks and that he put it up here for us to watch it! Thanks Pierogi!
I was chatting to a neighbour this week and she mentioned receiving loads of unusual emails from amazon and paypal. So far she has been ignoring them but i got the sense that the sheer repetition of them was driving her curiosity to want to click through them. Obviously i told her not to, but it goes to show how they can get people by just persisting.
Hey man, I appreciate your dedication. I wish we had more guys like you to tackle the other types of internet scams. Been dealing with a lot of scams looking for housing in NY.
Thank you so much. It breaks my heart to hear these poor elderly people lose their money. Appreciate your time and effort. Blessings from South Africa 🇿🇦
The suspense was real watching you save that last victim. I was really hoping that the manager would pull through, and he did. Glad you were able to intercept that.
Thank you so much !! Might be 6 people but its 6 lives that werent tormented or screwed with financially... Thats so amazing !! I admire what youre doing Pierogi !!
It would actually be funny to set up something so random calls could be sent to one call center, but all looking like they came from another call center and vice versa, so two call centers would basically be calling and receiving calls from each other all day long, they’ll think it’s a competition/prank thing and we’ll start the new call centers war in the streets of Calcutta, they’ll end up destroying each other and we all win
I work as a retail manager and I stop this from happening all the time. Sometimes it is very hard to convince older customers that they are being scammed.
I am new to your channel and have watched several videos over last couple of days. May I just say. This is hair on back of neck raising stuff. Absolutely love that you are saving so many people and absolutely saddened that you have to do this in the first place. Kudos to you and your team. Please keep it up and keep on right side of law in doing so. I will most definitely be spreading the word to my network of multi generational friends and family.
I really don’t know what to do anymore: got scammed of 5500$ in a week with a remote work on a internet plateforme. The more I work and make efforts the more I get robbed. This is a plague victimising thousands of people, creating poorness, putting people in debt with their banks, making people suffering and lots of pain. I have no more money to finish my month, even to buy any food or pay my energy for home, pay my rent apartment, nothing. They took me everything till the last drop of my blood . 😢
The amount of people who even have the patience to listen to these scammer scumbags baffles me. Absolutely NO legit customer service support talks to the “customer” this way and asks such bizarre requests like “I’ll stay on the phone with you and you drive to the store to buy gift cards.” 😂 WTF?! Seriously?!
It's harsh but I have to agree. I can understand how a less tech-savvy person might fall for the initial phases of the scam. But when they ask you to go buy a bunch of gift cards or send a box of money... how can you not have alarm bells going off?
@@drewdrewski4188 exactly. i try not to victim blame… but how can anyone believe that any legitimate business would scream at you and insult you, force you to stay on the phone while driving, and tell you to lie to the bank. like??? how do you believe this?
I stop a elderly lady from getting scammed. She was buying a target gift card for 500.00 dollars. She was getting scammed already and she used credit card so hopefully she she’ll get her money back. Why do they want be on the phone while the customer is getting the gift card. It makes me happy when the scammers don’t get what they want!
Thank you for helping the elderly lady from losing her money! The reason they want their victims to stay on the phone is to coach them as to what to buy or say and also to not allow someone to convince the victim they are being scammed. If the victim hangs up the phone, chances are good that someone might intervene and the scammers won't take that chance. The scammers actually brainwash the victims so they don't trust anyone but the scammer. Not even the victim's family members. In some cases, they even convince the victim that their husband/wife/partner is the bad person (hacker) who's trying to steal their ID or money.
I love how pumped you get after saving someone. You're actually making a difference in the world. You are awesome. Wish the US government would be as vigilant as you when it comes to these online scams.
The way you improvised immediately and contacted Dollar General .. really quick thinking and excellent improv ! I hope you keep getting funded even more to keep this going. You guys have really started rattling some chains. So many people saved. Love from Pakistan !
Honestly, thank you so much for your content, I would never really be able to recognize these things unless I hadn't watched your Channel. I'm happy to inform you that I was able to keep my mother from falling for a scam from people pretending to be Amazon, she was given an email that had told her that she had bought a desk for more than $500, and she was freaking out about it but I could tell from the email that it was a personal email and not from Amazon, and the only way I was able to recognize this was because of your Channel, so thank you so much.

Sadly my father paid 10k rs for car 😭 mever got it
Paid like 5000 rupees for an Alto Car which I was told to won in a competition that I don't even know..... But never got the car!! I learned a lesson that day..
A friend of my dad got scammed from his income. He lost 2 lac because of scammers and the scam wasn’t even sophisticated. The scammer said that he will recharge his phone and then asked for otp and scammed him.
why only indians bro?
I've been to India scammers everywhere same as China but Chinese are quieter

Same. Every time I watch these videos I’m hoping to see Pierogi calling victims and stopping the scan. Love the content!
Some of the victims didn't seem very appreciative of his efforts.
This show needs to be shown in EVERY Senior Center in the U.S....really. They need to watch this..
Not only in the U.S.
all over the world
this should be a public service announcement
What revolts me is how these scammers are allowed to freely go on with their thefts. Why aren't the US and European governments cracking down on these crimes and criminal organizations? Why does Google allow the scammers to advertising their link? How can they even call people over here, over the ocean, to scam so easily like that?
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess they cant do anything because they operate from foreign countries. They are in my country as well and corrput politicians partly own these scamming companies, so they are protected from the law
I worked for Dollar General as a store manager and I absolutely hated that we could not deny sales if they insisted. I had a older lady getting hit by the IRS scam come in to buy $1500 in ITunes gift cards and I desperately tried to explain that it was a scam and the IRS would never call and ask for gift cards but she refused to listen to me. I even called my DM and he told me if I refused her I could loose my job. After I was forced to sell her the cards I called the local PD who came and tried to tell her she was scammed while she was sitting in the parking lot giving the scammers the card numbers and she refused to listen to them too. I work for walmart now and we can refuse the sale if we believe the customer is getting scammed.
Thank you for what you do. It breaks my heart seeing innocent people be fleeced like this.
My class mate in college had an Amazon scammer call her the other day, and as I entered the study room that she was in, the scammer was having her download remote access software. Thankfully I knew it was a scam immediately and stopped them from accessing her pc!
Nice! Good job on stopping the scam before it truly started
Well done

@@kyleobrien3098 bless you, man!!
They go hard with scamming towards the holiday season because they know that's when the most spending is going on. People get bonuses, gift cards, ect. The scammers are drooling at the mouth for it. They don't even celebrate Christmas/Hannukah and yet they love it because it's when they get the most victims.
Their newest tactic is automatic checkout registers; No employee knows what people are buying...
@@brentfarvors192 that's mainly for actual theft of items. At self checkout, we can't process more than 1 or 2 gift cards. And only Lowe's cards. And we have to key the amount in for them. This was how I caught on to the one lady, she was buying 8 cards, told her that I couldn't process that many at self checkout, but as she was walking away I see she is on the phone and sprung into action.
These people are so trusting that they don't even really question how a random third party is listening in on their calls.
Yeah I’ve been thinking about that. I wish he had a better title to call himself to make it seem more official and have a better reason to be listening in on the calls. Idk it all works out in the end but if this happened to me I’d be so confused who is a scammer and who isn’t
not "trusting". just dumb.
Very naive.
What is more believable:
Getting Giftcards for a refund, instead directly returning by online banking?
Or that someone is calling you trying to avoid a scam and pleasing you „do nothing!! I don‘t want anything from you but doing nothing! Hang up! It’s a scam!“?
But honestly I thought about this as well 🙈😅
Google needs to have proper vetting for their ads so scam websites aren't shown as the top result for their searches.
Yes! They need to address the root of the problem.
They are scammers themselves
But then they'd make less money
google likes being paid by the scammers
RUclips ads too come to think of it. The number of ads for pyramid scheme seminars I’ve gotten recently…

Me too! It's so satisfying.
Idk about chills but ye.
How I love that you're now intercepting the scam calls to let the potential victim know that they're on the line with a scammer. This is next level stuff, you da dude for helping people like this.
I am in the UK and because of you I have had less and less of these calls, you are saving the world man!!!
The potential victims were right, it's a shame that big companies can be confusing to contact. Thankful for you every day for doing this work.
That's really the major issue. It's so difficult to contact most of the companies.
Doesn't help that google makes no effort to prevent fraudulent ads. Sure, they'll take them down 6-18 months after they've been reported but there's no proactive approach.
I don't understand why they can't do that but they can have their algorithms filter out speech and news that they don't agree with. The almighty dollar wins again.

You are a GODSEND my friend! My son worked at a CVS and stopped several seniors from purchasing gift cards . Several times he would have a difficult time convincing his customers that they were indeed being scammed. Keep up the good work!
I thank them everytime they ask me when I buy Google play cards for my kids. It's got to be hard having to be that person to have to try to stop a scam, especially as just a sales associate, so I think they need to hear it.

My darlin works at the front end of a walmart, I have shown her some of your content just to help her stay aware of how this all works. You are helping us keep our guests safe by spreading knowledge, thanks!
I'm being pestered by persistent attempts to scan me. They stared with calls which I just blocked persistatly, but now they're trying to get my info by staying that a packet needs to be delivered so full in the form and I'll be brought to you. There's no sender details available of course not country of origin. It's supposedly sent via DPS. I just reported it today, but it's very unsettling and I'm retreating from many previous activities for fear of my data being misused. I'm 75 and wanted a quiet, peaceful old age instead we must all live in fear. Thanks for the great work you do sir with all your colleagues and colaborators.
Talk about going above and beyond by calling the store and speaking to management when you couldn’t get a hold of the person. You really are an incredible person Pierogi.

I'm currently binge watching your scammer videos. I really think that the best way to inform people about online scammers is to have a reality t.v show in the US about saving potential victims of these scammers.

There wouldn’t be victims if people had common fucking sense. These scams are not even believable; how anyone could send money to half the schemes they use is beyond me.

It's all about priming them first by scaring them with the fake popups and warnings, it's easy to be fooled while in that mental state
Right? Where I'm from if a scammer talked to anyone like this they'd be learning all sorts of fun and creative use of curse words and at least one death threat and a visit from "the lads".
A lot of people just refuse to believe they've been scammed. I've seen people lose everything multiple times because they are too trusting.
The rudeness is part of the technique. It's a way for them to determine how compliant the victim will be.
@@mutantdog. Never thought of it that way
I am a proud citizen of India, a nation known for its huge pool of IT professionals who do great work all around the world. But I am also ashamed that our country does not punish the scammers harshly enough when they are caught. There should be exemplary punishment for the scammers which will act as a strong deterent. Hope we as a nation will do that someday.
Secondly, Google and like Search Engines should be made accountable and they should be forced to compensate the victims. Google has the technology and resources to stop such crimes, but they do not do so. For them, it seems a minor distraction or a trivial matter. But they are the ones on whom the Scammers are piggybacking. So they should be held as accomplices in crime.

It would actually be funny to set up something so random calls could be sent to one call center, but all looking like they came from another call center and vice versa, so two call centers would basically be calling and receiving calls from each other all day long, they’ll think it’s a competition/prank thing and we’ll start the new call centers war in the streets of Calcutta, they’ll end up destroying each other and we all win

The amount of people who even have the patience to listen to these scammer scumbags baffles me. Absolutely NO legit customer service support talks to the “customer” this way and asks such bizarre requests like “I’ll stay on the phone with you and you drive to the store to buy gift cards.” 😂 WTF?! Seriously?!
It's harsh but I have to agree. I can understand how a less tech-savvy person might fall for the initial phases of the scam. But when they ask you to go buy a bunch of gift cards or send a box of money... how can you not have alarm bells going off?
@@drewdrewski4188 exactly. i try not to victim blame… but how can anyone believe that any legitimate business would scream at you and insult you, force you to stay on the phone while driving, and tell you to lie to the bank. like??? how do you believe this?
Idk at&t acted this way and essentially scammed me and my other isp had a few terrible reps. Could have easily mistaken them for scammers.
His voice is like old man doesnt know much about tech
@@drewdrewski4188 because the target the elderly
I stop a elderly lady from getting scammed. She was buying a target gift card for 500.00 dollars. She was getting scammed already and she used credit card so hopefully she she’ll get her money back. Why do they want be on the phone while the customer is getting the gift card. It makes me happy when the scammers don’t get what they want!
Thank you for helping the elderly lady from losing her money! The reason they want their victims to stay on the phone is to coach them as to what to buy or say and also to not allow someone to convince the victim they are being scammed. If the victim hangs up the phone, chances are good that someone might intervene and the scammers won't take that chance. The scammers actually brainwash the victims so they don't trust anyone but the scammer. Not even the victim's family members. In some cases, they even convince the victim that their husband/wife/partner is the bad person (hacker) who's trying to steal their ID or money.
You are absolutely amazing for doing this. I can only imagine how many people you have saved from these scams. Keep up the awesome work!
The feeling even I get when he saves a victim is overwhelming. I can only imagine how he feels!! Great work Perogi!!

This is truly a scam interruption speedrun. This guy is awesome!
Honestly, thank you so much for your content, I would never really be able to recognize these things unless I hadn't watched your Channel. I'm happy to inform you that I was able to keep my mother from falling for a scam from people pretending to be Amazon, she was given an email that had told her that she had bought a desk for more than $500, and she was freaking out about it but I could tell from the email that it was a personal email and not from Amazon, and the only way I was able to recognize this was because of your Channel, so thank you so much.
This guy is awesome! Anyone who celebrates saving people who he doesn't know from being scammed out of their personal finances is a beautiful person
