  • VSupport LLC or Clohub run multiple scams including pretending to be support for Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Office and printer support. Their whole operation is laid bare in this video.
    ** Because I'm asked so many times why I blur their faces, this is the reason:
    CZcams. CZcams is the reason. If I show their faces or names, this channel is automatically flagged as "bullying/harassing" the scammers. Yes, scammers have the right not to be bullied by me showing their faces. If this sounds absurd, please raise this with CZcams who have already threatened my channel with closure if I expose their details again. If you want to see their faces, here is a link to their details - Outside CZcams: scammer.info/t/vsupport-clohu... **
    They go by the names of CompTrue, GeeksOfSilicon, CompLoft, ITAssists and a few other names. No doubt, they will change again once this video goes live. Most of their websites and Facebook pages are still live, so there's probably a short lifespan for the following links:
    Their business website: [Now replaced with a scam popup]
    Their alias businesses:
    comptrue.com/
    www.geeksofsilicon.com/index.php

    My 64 year old mom got scammed the other day trying to pay her AT&T bill and she accidentally went to a site that just claimed to connect to her account, but actually just stole $250 from her and tried to get more, but the bank blocked it. I sent her some of your basic videos on avoiding scams and she said you make it so easy for her to understand what to look out for despite her not being very computer literate. So thank you, Jim. Because of you my mom now knows what to look out for and she's much more cautious.

    I have zero respect for anyone that scams and takes advantage of the elderly.
    My grandfather once received a call from a scammer, saying that his grandson just died in a car accident and they needed money for the funeral. This sounds ridiculous to many, as this is never how funerals and contacting family about passed loved ones, but for someone with dementia, it pulls on their emotions and literally messes them up. The scammers said my name to him, mentioned my parents, and my wife, and said just enough to make it sound real.
    He thankfully didn't give any money, as he was no longer at the state of mind to handle his finances, and his daughter was the power of attorney taking care of it all, but it still messed up my grandfather for a good while. called my phone, thinking he was calling my brother, and when I said it was me, he kept saying that no, he's dead, I was told he's dead, and I had to do everything to try and calm him down and reassure him that I am myself, and I am not dead. Had to leave work early just to see him in person.

    Dude… this just happened to my 74 year old grandma last Christmas… they took $4,000 from her, and hers and my family’s situation is always bad… she just got into a car accident a month and a half ago, shattered her ankle… and if that wasn’t bad enough, most my family is in poverty and most of them live with her or depend on her for something. And so last Christmas, kids were taken from my parents and that was gonna be their first real Christmas with my grandma and that didn’t get to happen, my husband and I actually ended up being in a very good spot where we ended up getting everyone something. They all live in California, My husband and I, live clear across the United States, so we can’t even visit. I told my grandma what to do and honestly, no one else tried helping her. Her own brother said, “Oh well, let her learn her lesson.” And he’s actually very good with technology and has his own business. It’s sad the way everyone there treats her. I did tell her to come live with me but she won’t leave because apparently they all “need” her. (On another note tho, I love how you stood up for this elderly man and told them scammers off. This is great. Shows us what we can and should do. Thank you.) 💜💜💜

      Seeing such a kind, helpless person be taken advantage of by someone they trusted; is enough to get most people’s blood boiling. Then add on top that the scammer tried to *lie to his face*.

I felt very sorry for him because ohe has to endure people like me who grill him for doing his job, just because scammers. . And I am angry at the scammers because I had to make sure the number on the letter did indeed belong to DWP, so I wasted time on gov. Uk .
