      Losing* sorry to correct you but I see this mistake all the time. Even the president of the United States tweets it incorrectly and he’s meant to be leading by example. Spread the word. ‘Lose’ (to lose money) & ‘Loose’ (to loosen a knot I.e the opposite of tighten)
      So it should be .... losing £32k
      Not loosing (which would be to loosen) :)

      these scams are designed with the understanding that they'll only work on very gullible people, these call centers send out thousands of calls a day knowing they'll get money out of a few people who will fall for it

    • @fourd8438
      @fourd8438 3 года назад +81

      When scams are viewed through the lens of a spectator, it always feels this way, keep in mind that these scammers target people who are not technologically fluent / gullible / too trusting. And on top of that there is a later of emotional manipulation, whether that is the fear of losing every cent you have ever worked for, or otherwise. (For example, a scammer telling an elderly woman (or scambaiter posing as one) that they remind them of their grandmother). AND they send out thousands of calls per day so even if only 5 people fall for the scam, the call centre will make 200-2000 each one.

So a person doesn't have to be gullible to end up being scammed. Unfortunately I have a friend that learned that the hard way.

Fortunately, the sales-woman was on the ball and asked if they were Christmas presents or had someone rung her and asked her to buy them. It transpired that she had the scammer on her mobile phone at that moment, and was terrified that he could overhear what was being said. She said that she had been run by someone claiming to be from the Inland Revenue and wanted payment for outstanding taxes which could most easily done using Amazon gift cards. What amazes me is that she was in her 50s and seemingly quite intelligent. She had fallen for the scammer's patter completely. She was appalled at how easily she had fallen into this trap. It was time for a hot, sweet cup of tea in café when she realised how close she had come to losing £1000.

So I've watched a lot of their stuff in the last 3 days and now I go and get a comment on a 4 month old Jim Browning video. It's almost like you knew what I was doing. You haven't hacked in to my computer have you? 😂
      I agree, it is easy to fall for it. Especially with complicated issues like tech support. I had a situation about 12 years ago, where I typed my bank name in to Google and clicked on it, not realising that it had taken me to a scam copy of the bank page (now I know to check the URL). It asked for digits of my password to login as normal, which obviously failed. Then it said retry, but I didn't click on to the fact that they now asking for the alternative digits, which again failed, it then asked me to prove my identity by filling out my name and address. It all looked exactly the bank website at this point, so I didn't suspect anything. Fortunately the bank were already on to it and suspended my account in the back ground and explained what happened.
      If there had been public information adverts around that explained these things, I would have known what to check for. Either the government should do them or the banks/I.T. giants should do a collective advert.

They hang up on most of them, but my dad almost fell for a different one recently. They'd come door to door, and were trying to sell him on 'rendering' the outside of their house, claiming they would make it stronger and 'fix' subsidence (which the house isn't having a problem with). My dad was going to go through with it, at a cost of $15,000. He also wouldn't listen to me that it was a scam, and that a plastic coating sprayed onto brickwork isn't going to do a damn thing to foundations, but he was being stubborn. In the end I had to find the paperwork and call them behind his back, then put the fear of fucking god into them. I let them know that I knew it was a scam, had checked their website and reported them to Watchdog, and the better business bureau, and that I'd contact the police if they tried to prey on my elderly parents again. House never got rendered, they never got a penny. But it was so close!

It’s not beyond unusual for a bank to see transactions like this. 40k is a lot but not insane for the bank at all. I’ve had my grandparents wore me like 15-20k a couple of times for school.

      Henri Hanninen: It may have something to do with how UK bank fraud liabilities are structured; in the US, bank customers generally have zero liability for most forms of fraud, so the banks here have a powerful incentive to set up robust fraud prevention and response measures- hence most US banks would likely accept the information (albeit without releasing anything to the third party fraud informant). It's possible that the threshold of fraud liability for UK banks is way lower, so that they would feel more comfortable in responding exactly the way TSB was reported to have acted.

I did report to FTC and Arizona Attorney Generals office. No help. Nearly everything I had. I need help! I haven’t slept well in a few years . The Bank was a Wells Fargo in my State. Transferred to A Wells Fargo in Arizona . When I realized it was a scam; Wells Fargo told me they couldn’t do anything or give me information about who’s account it was. HELP!!!

If the liberals wanted to make a difference, they should be campaigning to allow mothers to stay at home with their children the first 4 years of the child's life if the mothers wanted to.

    The banks should be onto these scams by now. It should be obvious that a person is being scammed when they see that the amount of money the person is attempting to send is the same amount of money that was transferred from one of their own accounts to the other. Then again, maybe it's not that obvious unless you've watched some of these videos.

      To a certain extent they are onto some. I've had a few times the bank has cancelled my purchase and phoned me up to ensure it wasn't a scammer, wasn't a stolen card, and that everything was above board. Most recently a £400 purchase from an unknown company in Lithuania. Inside small circles the company is known for doing incredibly high quality work and the waiting list was incredibly long, but to a bank seeing repeated attempts to push increasing sums of money towards that company in the same week and I can definitely understand why the system automatically cancelled it temporarily pulled my card and flagged the purchase for a phone call. Annoying but entirely understandable and I'm glad the system is there. I have since taken to keeping some amount of straight cash in my house just in case my card gets pulled for any reason in the future, however. Wondering if I'm going to have to ask friends for groceries is something I'd rather skip next time.

      My bank has recently changed their requirements for transactions between your own accounts - now it requires an SMS code, same as transferring to an external party does (whereas previously, no verification was required for transactions between your own accounts). I didn't know why they had chosen to do that at the time, but after watching this video it seems it may be targeted at foiling this type of scam.

      @@colin-campbell Brain chemistry degrades as you age. The cholinergic & glutaminergic systems in the brain start their recession around 70 years old, around a solid 80% of people at this age are on gabaergic medication alongside an opiate, most frequently gabapentin & pregabalin which slow down the glutamate system even more. A 91 year old man is in no way naive, being elderly is the opposite of naivety. Old people are just more gullible because of how alone they are and are so desperate for human interaction. Clearly the case here with norman as if he had a family support network he would most likely not have his pension stacking up while he rots away. Less acetylcholine with age = less critical thinking & problem solving, only a small amount of people in their 90s aren't amnesiacs, we all need to spend more time talking with old people, i have such respect for care takers who keep them company. This boom of indian evil that happened in the past 7 years really needs to be something all of the elderly know about, its shocking how little the authorities care. I would say people in their 40s or 50s who fall for these scams are indeed naive, not being familiar with computers is one thing but trusting some indian on the phone without being a little sceptical is mind boggling, as racist as it is. I do feel sorry for people who work at legitimate call centers who have a strong indian accent.
