@@bobjones6021 What the heck? The scammers take advantage of people's good nature and ignorance to steal thousands of dollars. My grandfather was once called and thought it was his grandson who was calling and begging for help. Scammers don't care how they manipulate people, they just want their money. Even if you think people are being really dumb and ignorant falling for the scams, you'd rather the scammer win and just keep stealing money? Retirees typically don't work anymore. That's all the money they have to live off and live the rest of their life other than pensions.
As a police officer, I deal with multiple victims, pretty much every time i come to work, who are victimized out of so much money because of these scammers. It breaks my heart bc I feel helpless on my end knowing that they more than likely won't get their money back. Thank you so much for all of you do!! I also refer my victims to your channel, specifically, so they can educate themselves on the scamming process so they have the knowledge of how these scams work. My hopes are that the knowledge will aid in their defense against future attacks.
Dude, we all do our part and education on what is done and how it is done. Keeps people from falling for these scams. I remember the first time they tried to get me with an Amazon scam. The first thing I did was check my account with the app. Then I started calling them to ask them "How they sleep at night?" and call them till they block me. They have no sense of right or wrong and seriously think it's ok.
@@mikemcfiggus8996 I can understand ur situation, however can u explain as towhat stops you from escalating this. Why are further investigations not done when someone reports such complaints?
I’m dying to know.. is it typically a specific age group and are people from younger generations growing up knowing not go get caught up in that stuff? I hope I explained that well enough.. I guess I’m just wondering if in the next 10-15 years these scammers will have to work harder to trick people .
I used to get indian scammers calling me multiple times a week and so far in 2024 I haven't had a single one I swear to god these dudes are the reason why we're all free 😂😂😂😂 love you all
Me to and from England many times a day and around the world. Sometimes they speak a laungage I have no idea what they talk about. I am Norwegian born and raised in Norway. When they call from India I have big problems to understand them because the English sound so strange. It’s the same when I speak English. I am happy that I don’t need to often because I speak Norwegian all the time. In Norway they have started to use phone nr so people think it’s the police who caal them. They use the police mobile nr. so many of the police had to change nr because the police get caals so many times a day because they think the police scammed them. One lady in the 80’s got scammed from 9420 in $. It happend all the time. More than a 1000000 got scammed in Norway and there is only around 5000000 in Norway. I know me spelling and grammer is so bad😀
@@hildeknarvik2440 don't worry about your English it's not a problem at all, that's terrible I can't believe it.

As a financial advisor one of the scams we keep coming across with our older clients is them receiving phone calls stating one of their grandkids is in jail and they need to pay their bail. It amazes me that they never check with their son or daughter to confirm this. But it's why we always ask our clients why do you need some money, I just want to make sure you're not being scammed. It's also why we do not take any instructions over email or voicemail
That happend to my grandparents a while ago right after i left their house one day from visiting, i very rarely see them and it was odd timing, i wondered if they somehow knew i was there and left at that time?
This scam happened to my late step-mother who was in the process of sending $7,500 cash but told the postal rep she was sending cash and they said that is not legal. So my step-mother went home with cash worried I was in jail in another state. She was lucky but other victims are not.
If they actually had been arrested they probably wouldn't be allowed to use their mobile phones. The victims understand that due to the circumstances they can't contact the family member who's in trouble. Obviously the scammer pushes the point aggressively, threatening to hurt the victim's relative if they don't cooperate and stay on the phone as well. Scammers know that the victim knows there's a chance that they're lying, so they'll raise the stakes until the victim feels like they'd be taking too much of a risk to ignore the scammer. It's one thing if you think your family member is in legal trouble, it's another if you think the cops are dirty and holding them hostage. They're preying on what people don't know and using that to manipulate them. Imagine if your family member was in a life or death situation and you decided that the person who called you was a scammer, and as a result of your inaction the person was seriously hurt or killed. Obviously that's extremely unlikely, but it's such an extremely unpleasant thought that it affects some people's better judgement.
The funny thing is that the scammers do not know that they are talking to one of the best ethical hackers of our time. That's why it's funny for us as well as for Pierogi and Ryan
my mum and I love you guys so much! We have been scammed and my mum got hacked on Facebook. It feels horrible, it's like having your home broken into. The scammers just don't care, they violate and steal. Keep doing what you do!
which week? last week or next week? you mean MAFlA? because this is what governments are, they STEAL your money and don't do anything to help people, if you can't see the truth, you're a sheep in cattle. scammers need to do more of what they're doing, i'm so fed up with dumb people who have 0 common sense and don't think before acting. it's your own fault for willingly giving your money to a scammer. i have 0 sympathy for sheeple who give their money away and then whine and cry. next time use common sense!
I think the social media companies and other tech companies should fund going after the scammers. They are profiting too, with all the activity the scams generate.
My parents almost fell for one of these scams. They stopped by my house, in a panic, on the way to Walmart to get the gift cards... I told them to go back home, and not answer the phone I would never have known for sure it was a scam if I had not seen these videos.
why? your parents and you don't have any common sense? why don't you use those gift cards to buy common sense you people are pathetic, how can you fall for such obvious scam? do you have below 80 IQ or something? if you fall for such scam, you DESERVE IT!
@@Pepesmallit's crazy that people still don't notice this is suspicious when this has been the main form of scam payment since the invention of the redeemable giftcard. Once upon a time scammers actually had to convince people to mail them cash, and also had to maintain a covert post box if they're operating locally. It's ridiculous that gift cards are still legal when they provide zero utility to anybody trying to make legitimate purchases. It's clear to anyone with a brain that a gift of cash is infinitely more useful than a gift card. Besides scammers, they also benefit major retail chains (who don't need the easy win) when the recipient inevitably fails to redeem the card in full before it expires. We really don't need them to exist.
@@AsmaBakkar-o2geverybody in the scam baiting community wants to dox scammers, it's just against youtube guidelines to do so. They have to walk a fine line between delivering the payback and monetizing their content. Afaik Perogi regularly shares this kind of infor through patreon, but I'm not a member so i dunno.
@@SineN0mine3it's his problem if he gets monitezed or not what I think is these scammers deserve to be revealed and should be ashamed of what their doing to poor people
Local Law Enforcement there doesn't do much due to various reasons ie: corruption, lack of manpower etc... Next step is if you have the scammers personal info tell the parents/Grandparents... OR just take out ads in the papers and tv. Public shaming is a powerful tool. You could even frame it as a public service to the scammers telling them that "Someone might have stolen their identity and using it to scam others". LOL! (touch of irony for spice.)
I think the police have now started noticing as Indian have started scamming fellow Indian by dressing up as police and "virtually" arrested them. Far too much to explain here but it is on the up and the police are not liking it.
Having lived in India for more than 5 years, I can say you are absolutely correct with what you've said. You may also find that there are corrupt public officials and even high-level government officials backing some of these scammers. Best thing to do is expose them publicly or to their families.
Correct. To be honest all this doesn't really go anywhere unless you can shut down their operating systems. Police will do nothing. Embarrassing them with relatives is a huge insult. Share the photos and info with their relatives
I just added this > Epic 👍 > it's absolutely inexcusable the alphabets, the very ones tax payer money goes to for such oversight refuses to run similar operations > if tracking actual locations is being done successfully as Pierogi consistently demonstrates, there's no excuse why this can't be done on an official level > makes you wonder whose REALLY behind these Fronts.... exactly where does the scamming buck stop?....whose being protected? 🤔 > taking it another step.... whose behind the data hacks?

I love what you guys do.! It makes for great entertaining content, while also helping the little guys stay out of trouble AND putting a dent in the scammers “business” Hats off good sir.! 🎉
I worked at a bank for some time. I won't say what bank for some privacy. The amount of calls we got about wanting to dispute charges spent on gift cards via credit cards was so frustrating. I learned early on that banks can't dispute those 9/10 times. It's classified as a verified charge once the gift card is redeemed or in most cases, as soon as the card is bought. I hated having to break that news to the ones that got hit by the scammers. Tldr; thank you for doing this. I know I couldn't help in the position I was in but watching what you do makes me wish I could've done something like this at the time. Thank you Pierogi

Someone scammed me out of 2,000$ from a group of people who scam college students. They pretend to be an organization that works with fosters, they are disgusting for what they do. I would love to see this guy get payback for all of the students like me who got money stolen.
All I can say to you is, keep watching this man. I’m so very sorry you were targeted. And your money is most likely gone. I know that mite sound harsh. I do NOT mean it to be. There are so many Red Flags, during a scam. Peirogi knows them all. Just trust your instincts. Never accept what’s happening when you get a strange call. By that I mean, they rely on you keeping quiet. Never use “Bitcoin” as a transaction method. It’s virtually impossible to trace. That’s why they use it. And if you ever get a call from an “India Accented Man” claiming his name is “Mike”, hang up. Again, I’m so very sorry this happened to you. They also “rely” on the shame you feel, after you’ve been hacked. Stay strong. Because you are Strong!!!
Insane where he showed how easy it is to find pdf files and pee doughs on teen chats. He told the host of the show he was on to create a temporary account as a teenage girl and just say "hi" in group chat. Within seconds were several pee doughs trying to make a move. They are bold nowadays. They need to be made afraid again. No more slap on the wrists by corrupt judges and prosecutors.

India has 1.4 billion people as opposed to the 0.3 billion in the US. Even if we disregard the difference in government and anti-cybercrime efforts, it makes sense that more scammers would be from India than the US.

Hey guys, just to let you know how awesome you are for exposing and messing up with these vultures. I'm myself doing a lot of sensibilisation on different facebook groups of rideshare were they seem to hit nowadays. They have the same modus operandi were they just reply to everyone who request a ride and then contact them in private and ask for a deposit. It's already some hardwork and time consuming so I just can't imagine all the work behind your videos and would like to congrats you for the beautiful work you do.
I like the fact you do this to inform people about these scams without giving away the means on how to hack them. You've got good ethics and I, like many others, appreciate that.
The awareness you need to spread should be on news outlets, that if a company sends you more money by mistake, it can be reversed by the bank and the banks should advertise this also, I know you're spreading awareness and big respect for that. In UK we have a TV channel (5) on Scams.
Because law enforcement have to abide by laws. These people are breaking the law to obtain their evidence, so it is totally useless. All they are doing is scaring small time operators to get clicks and views.
@@lfcbpro Law enforcement follow laws? Since when? Small time operators with millions of dollars and even more in rupees? Are you sure you are watching the same people? Or are you lazy law enforcement trying to make amoral argument knowing full well the watchers never watch their own behaviors.
@@JimJimmington-e8i Making the point that none of the evidence they collect is admissible in court, so they are probably doing more harm than good when it comes to actually getting a conviction.

someone tried to scam my grandma by offering a red corvette and the scammer didn't know i was a hacker and i shut down there systems and they haven't called back since
This is pure gold. The fact that she absolutely freaked out and shut her computer down says a lot. Granted, a lot of the disgusting people might be shut down for a day, maybe even a week. But it's enough to have them stop scamming. I seriously wish I knew how to do this. I would be over the moon happy knowing I can ruin some scammers day like they ruin so many other lives.
When you are panicking, logic goes out the window. I have told myself to calm down and think this through if I get a message from my bank and I know all about the scamming tactics.
Because the scammers try their damnedest to get their victims to react to them, get them scared, and follow their instructions. They are very good at social engineering.
The fact that I can understand her without translation... She's definitely so scared. This is our reaction (in this language) when our mom catch us do something and we know that we're done!

Thank you for protecting the week and the elderly, they don't deserve this and our government needs to step in ! ❤
Unfortunately, most of the people making the laws are IN the demographic that's largely being scammed!
which week? last week or next week?
you mean MAFlA? because this is what governments are, they STEAL your money and don't do anything to help people, if you can't see the truth, you're a sheep in cattle.
scammers need to do more of what they're doing, i'm so fed up with dumb people who have 0 common sense and don't think before acting. it's your own fault for willingly giving your money to a scammer. i have 0 sympathy for sheeple who give their money away and then whine and cry.
next time use common sense!
The week, the month and the year.
Weak not week .
I think the social media companies and other tech companies should fund going after the scammers. They are profiting too, with all the activity the scams generate.
THIS! This is an invention we’ve been NEEDING! Brilliant! Congratulations civil heroes!
My parents almost fell for one of these scams. They stopped by my house, in a panic, on the way to Walmart to get the gift cards... I told them to go back home, and not answer the phone
I would never have known for sure it was a scam if I had not seen these videos.
why? your parents and you don't have any common sense?
why don't you use those gift cards to buy common sense
you people are pathetic, how can you fall for such obvious scam? do you have below 80 IQ or something?
if you fall for such scam, you DESERVE IT!
They really thought that made sense? Buying gift cards for anything legitimate?
@@Pepesmallit's crazy that people still don't notice this is suspicious when this has been the main form of scam payment since the invention of the redeemable giftcard.
Once upon a time scammers actually had to convince people to mail them cash, and also had to maintain a covert post box if they're operating locally.
It's ridiculous that gift cards are still legal when they provide zero utility to anybody trying to make legitimate purchases.
It's clear to anyone with a brain that a gift of cash is infinitely more useful than a gift card.
Besides scammers, they also benefit major retail chains (who don't need the easy win) when the recipient inevitably fails to redeem the card in full before it expires.
We really don't need them to exist.
wow u reveal the scammers address to the whole world instead of hiding it, RESPECT!
Because they deserve it?
@@AsmaBakkar-o2g absolutely 🤭
@@AsmaBakkar-o2geverybody in the scam baiting community wants to dox scammers, it's just against youtube guidelines to do so.
They have to walk a fine line between delivering the payback and monetizing their content.
Afaik Perogi regularly shares this kind of infor through patreon, but I'm not a member so i dunno.
@@SineN0mine3it's his problem if he gets monitezed or not what I think is these scammers deserve to be revealed and should be ashamed of what their doing to poor people
Local Law Enforcement there doesn't do much due to various reasons ie: corruption, lack of manpower etc... Next step is if you have the scammers personal info tell the parents/Grandparents... OR just take out ads in the papers and tv. Public shaming is a powerful tool. You could even frame it as a public service to the scammers telling them that "Someone might have stolen their identity and using it to scam others". LOL! (touch of irony for spice.)
I think the police have now started noticing as Indian have started scamming fellow Indian by dressing up as police and "virtually" arrested them. Far too much to explain here but it is on the up and the police are not liking it.
Having lived in India for more than 5 years, I can say you are absolutely correct with what you've said. You may also find that there are corrupt public officials and even high-level government officials backing some of these scammers. Best thing to do is expose them publicly or to their families.
Correct. To be honest all this doesn't really go anywhere unless you can shut down their operating systems. Police will do nothing. Embarrassing them with relatives is a huge insult. Share the photos and info with their relatives
I just added this > Epic 👍 > it's absolutely inexcusable the alphabets, the very ones tax payer money goes to for such oversight refuses to run similar operations > if tracking actual locations is being done successfully as Pierogi consistently demonstrates, there's no excuse why this can't be done on an official level > makes you wonder whose REALLY behind these Fronts.... exactly where does the scamming buck stop?....whose being protected? 🤔 > taking it another step.... whose behind the data hacks?

I love what you guys do.! It makes for great entertaining content, while also helping the little guys stay out of trouble AND putting a dent in the scammers “business”
Hats off good sir.! 🎉
I worked at a bank for some time. I won't say what bank for some privacy. The amount of calls we got about wanting to dispute charges spent on gift cards via credit cards was so frustrating. I learned early on that banks can't dispute those 9/10 times. It's classified as a verified charge once the gift card is redeemed or in most cases, as soon as the card is bought. I hated having to break that news to the ones that got hit by the scammers.
Tldr; thank you for doing this. I know I couldn't help in the position I was in but watching what you do makes me wish I could've done something like this at the time. Thank you Pierogi
Truly love you guys for protecting people and shutting down some of these places that ruin lives.
I have an extensive background in IT and working with law enforcement. Now Retired I want to give back to the community. I want to help protect my 80 year old mother and others that are taken advantage of due to their big hearts and trusting others. Scammers are scumbags. Please join the channel and contribute as it will make a difference. What is it worth to know a small donation can save someone from financial devastation or even suicide.

Thank you for exposing these creeps.
I looove it when patience pays off ... Starting by waiting for a connection for then, messing with them, monitoring their computers, collecting info, stopping scams in progress to finally deliver the final blow and it was a brutal Payback, we can hear it in her voice lol Awesome teamwork y'all involved 🤩
I love that she is freaking out when the many people the scam have their lives ruined!! well done guys x
Saving elderly people like this.. You are amazing.
I love watching the scammers in tears
Someone scammed me out of 2,000$ from a group of people who scam college students. They pretend to be an organization that works with fosters, they are disgusting for what they do. I would love to see this guy get payback for all of the students like me who got money stolen.
Don’t let them get away with your money
I hope you reported them to the police.
All I can say to you is, keep watching this man. I’m so very sorry you were targeted. And your money is most likely gone. I know that mite sound harsh. I do NOT mean it to be. There are so many Red Flags, during a scam. Peirogi knows them all. Just trust your instincts. Never accept what’s happening when you get a strange call. By that I mean, they rely on you keeping quiet. Never use “Bitcoin” as a transaction method. It’s virtually impossible to trace. That’s why they use it. And if you ever get a call from an “India Accented Man” claiming his name is “Mike”, hang up. Again, I’m so very sorry this happened to you. They also “rely” on the shame you feel, after you’ve been hacked. Stay strong. Because you are Strong!!!
Do you still have the details of your scammer?
Love Ryan! He is out there fighting the good fight against child predators ❤
Insane where he showed how easy it is to find pdf files and pee doughs on teen chats. He told the host of the show he was on to create a temporary account as a teenage girl and just say "hi" in group chat. Within seconds were several pee doughs trying to make a move. They are bold nowadays. They need to be made afraid again. No more slap on the wrists by corrupt judges and prosecutors.
He should go on Drake.

Not your fault! There’s scum in every corner of the world
Not your fault. There is bad people across the world in all different race and religions. Just bring a good person is awesome.. Have a good day!
Wish we had more accountability as a culture punishing the wrongdoers . But every culture has its fair share of bad apples
India has 1.4 billion people as opposed to the 0.3 billion in the US. Even if we disregard the difference in government and anti-cybercrime efforts, it makes sense that more scammers would be from India than the US.
@@LauraMac2024Mostly North Indian state people do these scams to make easy money without any hardwork.
Obviously due to unemployment also try to make such scams..

@@lance8080 most of the police and law enforcement authority doesn't take action because they bribe local police and they also supported of local political parties that why its keep happening

Maybe he just doesn't know any scammers personally in India, ya know, because they have a 1.3 billion population... 🙄

You actually saved my grand father last year, he just retired from the army, he suffers with really bad dislexia and the scammers got to the point of taking his computer over using any desk, but my younger brother was watching one of your videos and my grandad heard you say they ‘use any desk to get into your pic’ he disconnected from the scammer finished watching your video and was able to save his money, however they still managed to get £500 before he was able to change he bank password back
You are truly important to the anti scam movement worldwide and frankly, an icon. Don't stop. There are millions of people out here that you have literally saved financially and physically. I have immense admiration for you mate. Well done.

love seeing the joy on your face when these scammers get caught out :D
Zero sympathy for scammers and thier situation of this being "the only option to make money" argument. They enter the battlefield and become legitimate targets of opportunity.
It's no different than the orcs who sign up to brutalise Ukraine.

@@BertsMountain dude you’re nuts. In most cases they bring a ton of evidence to authorities, more than should be necessary and the authorities do nothing. This has been well documented. Perhaps you know and can do it better, in which case go for it.
@@BertsMountain if he destroys evidence then why dont u do the same thing but keep the evidence?
@@BertsMountain even if he only stopped 100 dollars from going to a scammer it is a positive. They have saved thousands and thousands from going to scammers. This in no way makes the problem worse especially if the authorities in that area are never going to do anything about it. Your opinion on this is pretty wild, especially saying they make it worse. That’s just down right laughable.
@@MikeHunt-n1w this guy is clearly a keyboard warrior that of course knows better than people that have made it their life’s work to help victims. No point in arguing lol. I had to stop lol.
@@BertsMountain absolutely not true. My brother in law is a detective and has worked together with many different parties and have garnered many successful prosecutions in the process. Your information at this point is just flat out not accurate.
(1:41)..Absolutely EVERY scammer from India uses the giveaway phrase, "I will help you out on this," or some such. Always that 'help you out" part, which to me (a retired teacher) is the giant red flag of someone who is not only a scammer, but whose native languages is not English. I love watching these. What a thrill to see these POS takedowns...
I'm happy that you guys exist, I've been recently scammed and watched your videos makes me feel better. Justice for all 🙌
my dad got scammed for 130k last year. although we have opened a case with the FBI there is nothing they can do. I have also told my dad he won't ever see that money again. I hope you guys get all the scammers!!!
@@DanielRodriguez-lt5et wow sorry to hear. My elderly mother has just been scammed for thousands. It's so deviant and despicable to take advantage of others trust that way.
Hope those scammers are caught
You should share what the scam looked like to help educate other people. That’s how we keep it from happening to more folks around the world.
I’m so sorry for your dad though. That is an awful awful lesson to learn.
Heavenly Father please move for this man and help get his money back
No fkn way... how..
16:47 I never understood why they have some of the holiest Divine figures as wallpaper yet they do criminal activities. That is Lord Shiva on her wallpaper, and he would not be happy to know she is scamming people.

Hey guys, just to let you know how awesome you are for exposing and messing up with these vultures. I'm myself doing a lot of sensibilisation on different facebook groups of rideshare were they seem to hit nowadays. They have the same modus operandi were they just reply to everyone who request a ride and then contact them in private and ask for a deposit. It's already some hardwork and time consuming so I just can't imagine all the work behind your videos and would like to congrats you for the beautiful work you do.
I like the fact you do this to inform people about these scams without giving away the means on how to hack them. You've got good ethics and I, like many others, appreciate that.
The awareness you need to spread should be on news outlets, that if a company sends you more money by mistake, it can be reversed by the bank and the banks should advertise this also, I know you're spreading awareness and big respect for that. In UK we have a TV channel (5) on Scams.
Thanks
You guys are doing the work law enforcement should be doing. Thank you for this.
I wish they could be incorporated into the law enforcement community.
Because law enforcement have to abide by laws. These people are breaking the law to obtain their evidence, so it is totally useless.
All they are doing is scaring small time operators to get clicks and views.
@@lfcbpro Law enforcement follow laws? Since when? Small time operators with millions of dollars and even more in rupees?
Are you sure you are watching the same people? Or are you lazy law enforcement trying to make amoral argument knowing full well the watchers never watch their own behaviors.
@@JimJimmington-e8i Making the point that none of the evidence they collect is admissible in court, so they are probably doing more harm than good when it comes to actually getting a conviction.
@@lfcbpro Are you from India? Can you share the local laws surrounding this? Once done with that, can you tell me what police in India ACTUALLY do?

I was myself scammed this year along with my brother. Feels incredible to watch videos like this now.
someone tried to scam my grandma by offering a red corvette and the scammer didn't know i was a hacker and i shut down there systems and they haven't called back since
Thank you guys for taking the fight back to these jerks.
This is pure gold. The fact that she absolutely freaked out and shut her computer down says a lot. Granted, a lot of the disgusting people might be shut down for a day, maybe even a week. But it's enough to have them stop scamming. I seriously wish I knew how to do this. I would be over the moon happy knowing I can ruin some scammers day like they ruin so many other lives.
Were it me, I would changed her background to Ravana. XD
Why don’t people CALL THEIR BANK a before handing over cash to these scammers ? HANG UP CALL YOUR BANK
When you are panicking, logic goes out the window. I have told myself to calm down and think this through if I get a message from my bank and I know all about the scamming tactics.
Because the scammers try their damnedest to get their victims to react to them, get them scared, and follow their instructions. They are very good at social engineering.
Thank y’all for serving the American people y’all are a GOD SEND
We need more calls with two old ladies 😂
Oh gosh, seeing these two get into action, then troll the agent was mindblowing.
