  • Could this be the worst scam on the Internet? These scammers will drain their victims' bank accounts! How do they do this?
    I've been watching the scams of Webzant IT Solution Private Limited, of Kolkata, India fool their victims into thinking that they are the police and they need the victim's help to catch a 'hacker' in their bank. This is a video guide to why their scams are so serious.
    The company's website: webzant.com/ [This was taken down within 1 hour of this video upload... a sure sign of innocence.]

    That old saying, "It's easier to fool someone than it is to convince them they've been fooled" comes to mind. Even when the scammer raised her voice and became berating and abusive toward the victim for talking to the man trying to warn her, the victim didn't want to see she was trusting exactly the wrong people.

      I have seen this so much on that catfishing scam, the guy was scammed out of 50k+. The catfishing site showed the guy exactly how they scammed him. The next day he talks to the scammers again and told his so called “girlfriend” that they proved to him that the photos they have sent where stolen and the real girl was on the show saying she never spoke to the man. The scammer said, “That was me, I was on the call with all you guys, I had to say I did not know you because we are not allowed to have a boyfriend why modeling. “ and he believed the scammer. Like you say it’s easier to fool someone than to convince them they are being scammed.

      Because in order to convince someone theyve been fooled, that person would have to consider the idea that they might be foolish. Im not saying getting fooled means youre foolish, it can feel that way. You may just be ignorant of certain things. And thats ok. But i can understand why people would be scared of feeling foolish and start getting defensive. I spent 6 years as a care taker for my grandma until she died at 99. Its not just dimentia that makes the elderly prime victims for scammers. And its not that theyre gullible. They can be very distrustful. Its the embarassment about being forgetful and confused. The fear of being a burden or looking foolish if they ask for help or ask too many questions or accuse the scammer of trying to pull one over on them. If you tell them theyre being scammed it can be really hard for them to come to terms with the idea that they *can* be fooled. It can make them feel like maybe they arent capable of taking care of themselves. And thats a very scary thing to confront in yourself. Just try convincing a senior citizen to get rid of their drivers license.

Old people still frequent businesses and I'm sure many worked in or owned them. Problem is the scammers yell and them and scare them into not thinking straight. Maybe I'm wrong though. I wonder if you just went out and asked random old people what they'd say. Give them something like:
      *What are legitimate ways a business will ask you to repay them? (Fill in all that apply.)*

      Pretty understandable, scammers use what is called "poisoning the well". They warn the victim of people who will tell them things that go against the scammers' narrative, tell them that these people are a russian hacker called 4chan or whatever, and not to trust them. Thereby they make their victims form an opinion on Jim before they even hear him, which makes his task way harder. It's a well known propaganda tool, and definitely worth looking into.

I wish folks would stop and think for a moment. If the cops have a warrant for your arrest, the last thing they're going to do is call you and let you know they're coming. In real life, they just suddenly show up and arrest you. That's the whole point.

I remember a case where a man became a multimillionare, and his scam was sophisticated but he would show up to people's houses to collect the money. He would target elderly, especially women who lived alone). But eventually he was captured by law enforcement. It is too easy now to figure out people's age online, so they can specifically target elderly people.

      Call centers are so common in India, because of lack of real jobs, and overpopulated cities. That’s why most call centers are in Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and even sometimes Jaipur. Smaller cities don’t have as many because they are managed better than say Delhi. India is a really cool country but scam call centers are sprinkled all over the country. Hopefully this epidemic of call centers will deteriorate with the help of scambaiters, and then police.

    I've received a few calls similar to this so I actually choose to speak to a person and ask them straight out how stupid do they think I am. This works quite well with scammers who claim that they are Amazon (I check my account regularly, or the IRS or the SSA and I ask them if they are aware that these agencies will never call a person as the first point of contact and will always send correspondence via mail. Also, in regards to the SSA, they won't even reach out to me. Instead they will reach out to my aunt as I receive social security disability benefits and my aunt is my payee so everything goes to her. I will never give them any info.
    In fact, just last night I received a message from "Netflix" saying that my (non existing) account's payment method is not working and I needed to use a link that if looked at quickly resembles the Netflix web address, but it is doesn't have the correct correct spelling of Netflix. So, I sent them back a message informing them that I don't even have a Netflix account (I don't, I share my aunt's account) and that I know that they are scammers and can go fuck themselves.

    If someone EVER says "don't talk to your bank", you immediately hang up the phone. That's like if you were a kid, met a stranger in the park, who said "we don't tell your parents about this."
    I was a teller a number of years ago. A member came in, and wanted to withdraw an official check for nearly her entire account (~$4,400). I made small talk while doing some checks, and found she didn't normally do this. Tried to ask light questions like, "going on a vacation?", etc. Not only did she not answer me, she was acting suspicious. So I kept prodding.
    Finally she says ".....they told me not to tell the bank". It was the lottery scam.
    Even after telling her, she didn't believe it was a scam. Even after showing her online how it was a scam, it took several more minutes for her to finally admit that.
    How do people hear "don't tell you bank", and it doesn't raise any sort of god damned alarm bells.
