Makes me think they get alot of computer experience and we’re taking people on work visas in the us some old scammers might be working at PayPal eBay Facebook in Cali
Vice promotes globalization. This is what happens. Vice is for this.
I'm Indian, i saw this scenario in real about 7-8 years ago. That was hilarious and they all were working like they are doing job. It is illegal in India but i think many people are still doing this type of job.
Hii Jim I wanna just, say you are doing a great job. Save people from these scams because they don't realise how a middle class family has gone through after losing the
money, my uncle also lose 45k last year then we went to police station to inform them and register a comment but nothing going to happen with them. I just want to realise them what they do.
I also want to learn ethical hacking and help people.
Been watching Jim’s page for over a year now. With his tips iv been able to troll scammers for countless hours while I’m sitting in my office at work.
Kudos to Jim browning,he is a modest humble superhero
This is why Crypto currency’s will never work… the moment something is digital it can be scam… well 🤔 so can fiat currency but that’s not the point 🤣
Release their addresses and people will do the thing
Im from India , & Its disgusting to see those 420 womens and culprit mens involved in scamming innocents ….Those bitches & bastards would do anything for money …..
Not saying all Indians are phone scammers but all the phone scammers I encountered over the phone are scammers using some fake caucasian name with a thick Indian accent.
Like, seriously, do you expect me to fall for some unpaid tax from the IRS when you say your name is "Kevin Johnson" with a thick Indian accent like that of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon from "The Simpsons?" 😆 🤣
Gezzz all these scammers from India wtf
A legend! Keep on them, Jim.
This is our modern day Batman thank you Jim for all the work you’ve done you are greatly appreciated.
I had this happen to me it was actually funny I asked them basic Microsoft knowledge which they couldn't answer
Been following Jim's work for years. Such a brilliant man and well done
These are just the guys on the frontline. The one, or group, running this racket remain almost unnoticeable because of the powerful connections they hold while being almost untouchable. Putting away frontline scammers isn't going to do much as they're just replaceable. Given how weak our law is, it's almost impossible to track the big guys and shut them down for good.
This is India 🇮🇳 at its greatest
God bless this unsung hero
It's disgusting that the Indian government allows these 'businesses' to operate largely unmolested. Is there no appetite for sanctions?
Take all the money back from these indian scammers.
Why are all of them in India?
That Indian accent is your warning for scammer
Please teach use how to scam scammers🙏🙏🙏
There’s a reason why people don’t trust an Indian accent over the phone. They don’t get in deep trouble, I hate these computer rats.
In my family we bury our money. This is why
Jim doing god’s work 👍🏽
Carolina Fernández 😂😂😂😂
In every videos on yt,most of the comments are from indians but in this video there is none lol 😆🤣😂 shameless indians
Who even falls for these scams? A dude named Nick with such a terrible foreign accent? These people are scamming themselves. Ask to speak to someone in the US or hang up, if they can't provide American customer support, then they don't need your business anyway.
Kitboga and ScammerPayback are great too
Robbin Hood, we need more good hackers for the people!!!!
Jim is a gem 💕
These scams are still prevalent. I know many people who steal a hell lot of many by tricking foreigners with impunity.
this Indian people all are job less.they just need money. this county not punished this people. made in india
just get them money every cents pls.
Loooove this guy 💖
Maybe this Indian should work on their accent
Good job, scammers need to be stopped ✋️
☝If you're suffering a loss from a cryptocurrency or bitcoin scam. I hope I'm able to help a soul, have a great day.
Funking scumbags
He made it on VICE ! Heck yea brother
Then please save indian medical hospitals which is currently under control of scammers😓
This guy's is a BOSS!!! I hope that he never gets strung out or jaded in life and flips the script!!!! lol. He could do some MAJOR DAMAGE ❤️😍 I LIKE IT
🙏🏻💯❤️
I wish I could do this for a living or help this process in some way. I would find a way to take from them what they took from others and ruin their lives like they have so many others. Trash human beings.
I believe everything Jim Browning said other than the fact that he was scammed. He seems too smart. My theory is that the reason he said he was scammed was because he is trying to encourage others to be aware that they too can be scammed, “because even someone as Jim can be scammed”. I know he said that he took his YT page down for a while, but there could have been a different reason that he did that. Maybe he had a sick relative and wanted to spend as much time with him/her while he still could. It is also possible there was a different reason that he temporarily took his page down (whatever that reason might be). Of course, I am merely speculating as I type this. There is no way for me to know. I just find it hard to believe that some one as intelligent as this mystery man computer whiz was scammed. Furthermore, I understand that anyone can be scammed, so I am not trying to down play the possibility of this. Okay, conspiracy theory finished. I guess I better go put my tin foil hat back on now. Peace! ✌🏻
