Can you help me?

A scam baiting colleague of mine, NeeP, has uncovered a person who is acting as a money launderer for a scam tech support company in India.

He has gathered a huge amount of information about this US citizen here: https://www.neep.ml/julianbrand/

English is not NeeP's native language and I have volunteered to help him speak to the US authorities who can hopefully do something about this money launderer.

Destroying a scam call center (Patreon Version)

This is a more detailed, Patron-only version and is release 1 week ahead of what will be a shorter YouTube version.

I teamed up with a well-known YouTuber in India to get photos of a scam call center who were operating for a few years and have made over $500,000 with just a handful of scammers.

This video details how we managed to shut down their whole operation :)

One call center, many scams (Patreon version)

Patreon version - early access and unblurred.

This video shows 'Maniere Software & Technology Pvt' in Salt Lake Sector 1, Kolkata, India. This call center run multiple scams and make thousands of robocalls to all parts of the planet.

I've exposed most of their scams in this video. Let's hope that the authorities can crack down on this lot like they've done recently.

Stealing $2000 from scammers - Patreon version

Early access to the unblurred version!

Scammers love gift cards because they're almost untraceable. I noticed that they had scammed someone of $2,000 in Best Buy gift cards, so I took some action to stop these scammers by stealing their gift cards and returning them to their owner. With a bit of difficulty because I didn't know who had been scammed.

This is a Patron version of the video with lots of personal details of the scammers unblurred. I will have to create a blurred versio...

Challenging the owner of Vintage Solution LLC

Patron exclusive video (well, mostly audio)

I uncovered a stash of mp3 files on a scammer's PC. They were recordings of a different scam company called Vintage Solution LLC. The recordings seemed to be being used as training material for other scammers because there was a colour-coded spreadsheet of successful and unsuccessful scams.

In a lot of the recordings, the victims were asked to send money to a US address in New Jersey. It turns out that this address belongs a U.S. owner o...

Patrons only: My presentation to the PSCU

I was asked to give a talk to some of the USA's Credit Union leaders (PSCU) on fraud, so I recorded the presentation so that you, my Patrons, could also have a look at what I spoke to them about and how I answered some of their questions.

If you're a regular viewer of my channel, you'll probably know a lot of this already, but my hope was to open up the debate on how to better safeguard Bank or Credit Union accounts.

It was part of a wider discussion on fraud, so I've only kept in...

VISA Scammers

This version of the video is being sent to TransferWise in the hope that they can take action against these criminals (and of course you, my Patrons).

The video is almost complete, but I am hoping to add details of exactly what action TransferWise will take against the company which is receiving funds from scammers.

Thank you again for supporting me in the quest to being these scammers to justice.

The scammers who milk their victims (Patreon version)

Patron version, so no blurring of the scammer... please don't link to this unlisted video... thanks! The public version will have to be more censored.

Again, thank you to all my Patrons - you are allowing me the time to create these videos, so you are directly helping the victims of these scams. You are all stars!

You are going to see a scamming group called QTech BPO of Kanpur in India. They go by the fake company name of "Home IT Master" and they exclusively target UK victims. 2019-07-13 17:42:46 +0000 UTC View Post

Scammer training material

I found this audio file on the PC of the group who sent me a fake order email (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG-KjCSt14k). It's almost identical to the scam that I encountered in that video, so I think it's been used to "train" scammers into how to run this kind of scam.... what language to use, when to pause and pretend to look up an order system etc.

I don't know the outcome of this scam - the audi...

A new twist on an old scam

I got an 'invoice' email telling me that I had paid for a $3800 laptop. No links... just a phone number. It's a real shame that these scammers emailed me because I was able to find out exactly who they were and where the were. Enjoy!

This is an unlisted and unmonetized video for my Patrons only. It contains some personal details of scammers, so I cannot make this version public because of YouTube's privacy policies. The public version will have a lot more blurring.

I gave an interview to CBS news recently and you can see it here: https://youtu.be/TQQ4AT0eDU8

Updates

Folks, once again, I've been a little quiet this month and this is because I'm working on something really big. I'm collaborating with another YouTuber on revealing a scam in a lot of detail and it's something I'm certain has never been seen on YouTube before. I'm so excited about the project, but I can't reveal anything just yet... other than that it will probably be the most detailed exposé of a scamming organisation yet.

I've had access to yet more scammers. This lot look like they'...

This is what keeps me motivated...

I've just had an email from someone who is a complete stranger to me, but thought that he would share his story. I thought I'd re-post this email here because it's exactly what keeps me motivated to go after the criminals who make scam calls.

This is what PG wrote:

Inside a scam call center (Patrons only)

I've been tracking this group of scammers for several months now and now is the time to reveal who they are and where they are.

They are a particularly nasty bunch who operate a 'refund' scam and have no hesitation in deleting people's data if they don't comply.

I've sent a copy of this video to the Kolkata Cyber Police (for all the good that this will do), but you never know. Perhaps they will be motivated to do something this time.

I will have to heavily edit and blur the ...

What I'm up to...

I've been a little quiet this month, so I thought I'd let you know why...

Firstly, I've uncovered a major 'popup' scamming organisation in Delhi. I have a list of the people that they've scammed AND audio of every inbound call they this call centre has received in the past 30 days. All 18,000 calls / 14GB of mp3 files. Definitive proof that they are a scamming organisation. If you were in the police, this, together with the names of everyone who works in the call centre and the details ...

Replacing scammers' dialler audio

So, I managed to get access to the automated dialler which certain refund scammers are using and I replaced their audio. You can hear the original and replaced audio here.

I'll be exposing this group soon, but I thought I'd let you in on this for a little laugh in the meantime.

A scammer taking advantage of a child

I routinely encounter scammers who take advantage of vulnerable people. But this particular group have no qualms in taking advantage of a child.

This is a genuine recording from a group of scammers who I will be exposing very soon. This call happened today (18th March 2019), is unedited and you will probably find the audio truly sickening. "Edward Joy" (our scammer's fake name) actually ran software to retrieve stored passwords on this child's PC (34:07). I have been in touch with her m...

Faking Gmail support

This is a Patron-only post which will show a scam in action and who is behind the scam. The first half is exclusive to my Patrons and shows a foiled attempt to scam a woman named 'Laura'. I will post my own experience on a forthcoming public YouTube video.

Identity theft... why is is so devastating?

This is a Patron-only version and is about twice as long as the YouTube version and, of course, you are the first to see it. It's my way to show thanks to you for your support.

Someone has access to your identity documents... why is it so devastating? This video shows how scammers use these documents to create bank accounts in your name and how they will raid your bank account if they are given enough access.

This particular person had a very lucky escape... they could have lost $...

So, just 2 days after I posted a video about Echosoft Infocon's $20 million per year scareware scam, they've taken down their websites.

I love cold calls. Especially when scammers fall into my traps.

Just for my $5+ Patrons.

Scareware - Part 2

Sorry for the delay with this one. It turned out to be more difficult to establish evidence and facts for this one. However, here it is.

In Part 1, I showed how, if you install 'Reimage' it misleads you about computer problems. If you are unfortunate enough to call their help desk, the agents are tasked with making money out of you by systematically fibbing to you and attempting to sell you un-necessary software and support.

It's so nice to see web hosting companies acting

I reported the scam website: https://ukbroadband.webnode.com/ which was being used by bank scammers to get access to victims PCs. They responded within a couple of hours and suspended the website. Well done webnode... it's good to see a responsive hosting company.

Starting your day in a scam call center...

This is a Patron-only video. I thought I'd show you what a typical (start of) day looks like if you're employed by a scam call centre.

Ok - it's not quite hacking a call centre, but hopefully you'll see just how repetitive their work is. I hope you find it interesting.

Patron early access: Scareware - Part 1

Scareware. Designed to be scary. Exploited by scammers. This is what happens if you get taken in by lies.

Made possible by you, my Patrons. I'd like to thank you for your continued support.

Scammers trying to silence me

I occasionally get scammers trying to silence me. One of my videos exposing Supremo Innovations (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLoGSmuWXs) was flagged by someone as breaking YouTube's guidance on privacy.

I am quite careful to blur faces of people who I know are heading up scamming organisations because even scammers have the right to change their ways.

At least this time YouTube had an open ...

EARLY ACCESS: The dumbest scammers of 2018

I promised a new version of 'dumbest scammers', so here it is! Early access for my $3+ Patrons. Enjoy!

Once again, thank you all for your continued support on Patreon.

I'm looking closely at how Patreon are kicking out certain creators despite not breaking Patreon's Ts&Cs - It's a worrying trend and I may seek out alternatives. It would be a pain to move, but I'm alarmed at Patreon's lack of principle on this matter. I've lost Patrons as a result and I completely sympathize ev...

What happens if someone emails you your REAL password?

I've had a lot of correspondence from people who have been emailed a threat. What is unusual is that the email contains their REAL password. How has this happened and what should you do?

Full disclosure: This video is sponsored by a product which I genuinely use all the time: Dashlane password manager. I've not sold my soul here... I believe it's a very good product which should be able to help people in this situation - I hope you don't think I've gone overly commercial here.

Almost scammed for £32,000 (Patreon edition)

This is an early access and extended version of a forthcoming video... just for my $3+ Patrons.

I witnessed an attempt to scam an elderly man of £32,000 (around $40,000) by a scammer from Kolkata in India. They tried to convince him to go to his local Santander Bank and transfer funds to another UK bank account. This video describes their techniques for persuading him to do this and the coaching they gave him to ensure that he complied with their demands.

A clever Gumtree scam

This is one of the most sophisticated phishing scams I have ever seen. The people behind this one are not your average cyber criminals. I hope you find it interesting.
