The scammer who got away

- I've held off publishing this video for nearly 2 years because I hoped that the police in the UK and India would track down this scammer and bring him to justice. Sadly he's still at large, but hopefully this video will bring a spotlight on his activities.
Karan pretends to be various banks and cyber security organisations. He's no such thing... he's a scammer and this video show him at 'work'.
There are a couple of Daily Mail articles on this scammer:

@MrBeas𝔱 ⸜⁄ Shut up.
This channel alone helped me to recognize that my mother was being scammed while I was visiting during Christmas last year.
I overheard her on the phone talking about a refund, and I had a flashback to every Jim Browning video I've ever seen when I suddenly heard her say, "Yes, I have Microsoft Edge."
She had been sent an email from "Norton" saying they had charged her $500 to renew her service. There was no 1-800 number, the email didn't even come from Norton, and there was no payment information at all, but she had literally just gotten off of a 12 hour overnight shift working as a maternity nurse, and was so tired she didn't even question anything.
Thank you very much, Jim, for the work you do and for putting all of this information out for the public. I remember in an older video that a company warned you against posting these videos because of something along the lines of, "It could help the scammers refine their methods." I know you know this, but they are full of it. I look forward to every video you post, it's always a treat to see you in my subscription feed.
Hear, hear! I'm glad you were there to thwart the criminal before he hurt your loved one.
What did you do after you realized? How did your mom react?
STOP LYING ON THE INTERNET RIGHT **** NOW
These videos can help scummy scammers refine their practices BUT having more people know that computer based scams exist and that it usually requires the scammers to take control of your computer online is a big hint especially since this is not how genuine banks and many genuine businesses run. NO genuine bank employee would ever ask to see you login to your account over the internet (they may do it in person at your local branch if you need help with setting up and using online banking but that is in person being done on a company owned computer that is controlled and monitored by the banking organisation). No genuine employee would either ask you to even give them passwords and OTP's ("one time passcodes" that are sent via text or email for logging in) many OTP messages even state that you should NOT share this with anyone but since these messages with the OTP's are not 100% clear enough for victims I think that instead they need to have the OTP not easily visible and have the message about not sharing these codes over the phone or internet a million times more clearer
So glad you were there to help your mum, who will now i hope tell others not to fall for these scams
Thai person here (little bit late but better than never I guess)
I believe the reason why the money went through Thailand is because that we have abundant supplies of masked account, whether from stolen identity or voluntarily (yes, people get hired to open bank account for these kind of purposes knowingly, sadly). Do we acknowledge its existence? Yes. Are we doing something about it? Yes and no, I guess. Unusual transactions are easy to find and catch, but we still don't have a solid preventative measure.
Yes these is accurate and if i may add, sometimes a business account is preferred choice as it doesnt raiase any flags if large amounts continue to enter that account. And also, business accounts provide higher max limit for withdrawals or transfers compared to a personal account. I spend a lot of time in Thailand as i visit my children there. From what i can see, this becomes a country of choice as it is a top tourist destination amd lots of foreigners are married/gf, some running small businesses, hence large money transfers from a foreign country, hardly raises an eyebrow. The same cant be easily done in neighbouring Malaysia (my home) as they are stringent laws currently monitoring abnormal large transfers. Philippines is another story......having family and frens there, i realised it could actually work for or against, however shall not go into details here. Some figured it out i guess and they continue to ezploit that loophole.....
Fun fact: This scammers are somehow getting detailed info about you and your families when they don't get their way. Someone I know here in WA state had his children's life threatened to be taken and potentially harmed from the daycare they go to ( he knew their names and name of the daycare) if he didn't pay up for the scam. Luckily he called the police about this however this is a whole new level of scam. Thank you for your work all you guys do together 🙏 and keep up the good fight brotha.
You'd be surprised how much information about themselves people just give out on the internet. Plus, computers have truly become personal computers, so if you let someone onto your computer you're basically exposing yourself to them with all the documents, auto-fill, pictures, and passwords you've let them have acess to. So it makes sense that the scammers know private information, and they've always been amoral, so it's not surprising that they'll stoop that low.
Yeah, basically you let someone onto your computer, they can easily find all that information, especially if you stay logged into your email, etc.
and the cops are the biggest scammers...
It's still baffling how, with such clear evidence, official action is not taken against these scumbags. Corruption must run deep within the Indian authorities.
Jim, I applaud your determination and perseverance in trying to deal with these low-lifes.
Yeah Indian cops are super crooked. Interpol should be involved it's international
Kolkata in particular, the scam bosses pay off the police and the police don't even question. Kolkata is where a good amount of scams occur. That or in a region of Turkey that Trilogy Media once covered.
Cops are bad but also these cases are hard to prosecute. At least I'd think they would investigate these scammers for tax evasion.
when it comes to large sums of money, hardly any country has transparent and non-corrupt authorities. for some jobs you need violent vigilantees.
Even US authorities do not take action on money mules based on complaints by scam baiters. You can see this in the videos of Trilogy media. For action to be taken, the victim needs to make a police complaint. The scam baiters like Jim can facilitate this but I've not seen them do this.
WOW. Karan needs an extended stay “behind the bar”. Awesome video Jim 💪
Hi Trilogy Media!
Cheers to that 🍺
I hope he sees "the bars" very soon.
But he doesn't just do one thing! He does each & every thing
All those hackers behind 1 lone bar .🤦🏻♀️🤣😂😂
They went for £400,000?!?!!?? That is just insane. That's the most I've ever seen in any of these videos. I feel so bad for her.
Thanks Jim!, I recently reached the age of 60 and scammers starting calling my and my former wife (same age), I know that they know at least my age, date of birth, zip code, and phone number. I apprecite what you do and will donate as soon as economy allows.
That's great. Please place your donation in a box and I will send my agent to pick up your donation.
@@deathpunch23😂
As someone who lives in near kolkata, I can assure you that these people will never get arrested. The police or the government don't give that much importance to such issues. And owners of these companies have powerful ties to the political leaders. So even if they get arrested they will simply get away by bribing the police or local leaders and continue to operate freely. The only way this can be stopped is by influence of foreign governments.
Yes. I am well aware. So instead some CZcamsr will continue to expose them. Perhaps some day there will be someone in control who isn't corrupt. And perhaps the likes of Karan and Arjun will sleep just a little less easy.
@@JimBrowning It's better off Reporting it to the Media directly than the poIice, I'm pretty sure they would be interested in not missing out on an 'exclusive' news.
@@neunzehnvierundachtzig Correct.. at least they will publish it for their own monetary benefit. Whereas the police and the govt have no incentive to busy this network and put these people behind THE bars so long as they rake in all that money and help build the local economy.

100K?! Thats got to be a record. How tf did the bank not step in! Anyone know an 83 year old who sends a house worths of money off the cuff?
hsbc don't give a shite
It’s an unusual transaction that definitely would be blocked in most countries (if they normally doesn’t transfer large sums). A lot of countries can also add a block for elderly persons accounts to avoid this. It’s not a problem if the real bank must call to confirm a transfer of 100k, standard procedure in many countries.
The largest part of this problem is the bribed police force in India, they can’t care less since they earn a lot from this. Hang out the police chief in every large magazine in India. 😃👊💩🤮
@@stefanjohansson2373 why? If he had his name and face published, people will jump over each other to be his "friend" 😂. Bcos he has money and connections... I won't say all Indians are like that. But that's really how that society works 🤷🏻♀️. By preying on the weak.
id hope shes a multi millionaire or something because thats awful
They normally do. I was transferring 3.5k to buy a car to a dealership and I had a 15 minute on the call interview about what I was doing with that money. It's awfully strange how they let a transaction of 100k go through (even part of it).
i live in australia and i watched that 7 news spotlight segment and to find out that you were the one who told them about it i have a lot of respect to you
5:00 So what drives this man is greed and vanity only. What a stellar example of a human being.
Thai bank accounts can often have lower fees than other countries also due to Thailand's laws they cannot be frozen or seized by the government.
But by the bank?
@@schwingedeshaehers You'd have to convince me that the banks give a shit.

"he is helping his father's business" by stealing from someone else's father's hardworked money
wow his father must be really proud
Y'never know, his father could be a scammer too. Look at Dan Bilzarian or whatever that guy's name was. Spent millions of dollars of other people's money on his own lavish lifestyle, while playing down how his father was convicted of fraud. Truly it pays to go into the family business!
Y'know what's "Karan" is actually going to be ashamed of? Those awful, awful selfies, which will inevitably be introduced in court as evidence of his identity. You can just imagine the jury at his trial snickering at his "resting gorilla-face", before convicting him of offences against both vulnerable elderly people and good taste.
His father is likely involved, or, at least, he is one of those toxic parents who validate everything his precious does.
His father is probably very well aware of his sons scam money. He is probably living off it. I could even see him acting as some sort of manager/coach for his sons, making sure their "talents" are fully utilized.
@@jaredwilliams8621 did you notice the shot where you see him with gold chains ? He's definitely living off of the scam moneys and it's unlikely that he cares, at least his son hasn't been in jail, right ?
Just watched your collaboration video with Scammer Payback and it was good stuff. While this particular situation had to be quite frustrating, you've still been a making some headway for the future, 1 person saved turns into 2, then 4, etc.. Keep doing your thing!
QUESTION: Mr. Browning, I have often heard that what these scammer’s do for a living (theft!) is viewed as a source of shame to their families.. and their parents in particular so they convince them that they are working at a decent job rather than sitting in some call center reading from a script to some unsuspecting victim. Have you ever exposed a scammer to his or her parents before and if so, what was the outcome? On the rare occasion that one of the popular CZcams scam baiter’s gets the scammer to talk, they always mention how disappointed their parents would be if they knew what they were doing and it often makes me wonder if it would make them stop stealing if they were exposed. I have a lot of respect for what you do, I literally get goosebumps every time you are able to make contact with a victim and put a wrench in the scammers plans especially when it comes to a senior citizen living on a fixed income. Thank you for all that you do, you are freaking awesome! 😊🌻

"Hackers hidden inside your internet"
I like to think these scammers have a 'Jen/IT Crowd' idea of the Internet

Thank you for not victim blaming BUT also thank you for blaming the perpetrators and shutting them down, it’s refreshing.
thank you for the amazing work you do. breaks my heart for the people who get taken.
I was recently the target of a fairly well crafted scam and it nearly fooled both my manager and myself until I noticed a few things that seemed off, and I completely owe it to your videos for teaching me so much about how scammers operate.
Can you tell us what the scam was and what you noticed? Might help people
It happens. My son was selling his PS-5 and while taking him to the post office, I noticed the address was Nigeria. I stopped the car and asked “you HAVE been paid already, haven’t you?” He told me some sucker story how “well the guy can’t send it directly so he sent it to his friend who is going to send the money once I send a picture of the tracking number…” etc. i kept explaining it was 100% a scam he argued and argued, I said “at least take the day to go home and research it” he did and found out I was right.
My point being, often these scammers play on the victims greed so that the victim convinces himself that in NO WAY is it a scam (even when told) because they want so badly for it to be true. In my sons case he was offered more than his asking price since the money was being paid by a third-party blah blah blah. He was like “it’s not a scam and no one else will give me that much for it”. Geez.
Personally, I would never to any business with any person or company from Nigeria. I don’t care if it’s the Nigerian government. Anything that has the word Nigeria associated with it (and you are doing a transaction of some sort)…run run as fast as you can. I promise you.
@@YourFreeBeatsPeople often say they would never be scammed, but there are so many different kinds of scams and everyone has a weakness. They will find your weak spot and use it against you, whether you're young, old, well educated or not. I appreciate when people like you and OP share their experiences so others can learn from them... and realize that no one is immune - not even Jim Browning.
We must all be cautious and listen to our gut. Always a good idea to take some time to research what you're getting into before making a financial decision - scammers love to play on a sense of urgency. And if something is too good to be true, it probably is!
It's sad that people are still using the "Indians are poor" excuse for a scammer who is filthy rich and lives an extravagant lifestyle, while elderly people are robbed of their life savings.
Poor can be honest, in any country
Who said that?
He's definitely not filthy rich, not by western standards anyway.
@@jeffg3343 India can be compared to Bangladesh and Pakistan only
@@rockysage7760 I don't remember the account name but I saw someone commenting in another one of these videos about the scammers only do this because they're so poor and there's no other job opportunities so it's either be a scammer or not have enough money for food.

Salute you keep going for so many years. Watching these scams that went thru I may have depression already.

hi jim! thai person here, currently living in bangkok. the most likely reason thailand still allows these money mules is most likely because they can tax them a decent amount and get some pocket change if you catch my drift. for decades thailand has been known for its corruption, nepotism and dirty government. especially now with this era. (prayut chan-ocha's coup era, now going on for 8 years currently. he rigged the elections to continue his term for another 4 years) its no secret to us citizens that the government is extremely money hungry and if you can bribe them well enough they'll let you off of any and every crime you can think of. hope this helps!

I'd be shocked if there was even a single scam caller who couldn't get a legal job where they don't scam people. To even get a job in a scam call center you need a reasonably good education and probably come from an upper-middle class family who has forked out for that education. There is basically zero excuse when you're educated, can speak English, have computer skills etc to be working in a scam call center in India besides "it pays better than not being a scum bag"

6:00 Hi Jim,
Thai AML (Anti-money laundering) law enforcement is pretty weak considering that Thailand is only "partially compliant" to FATCA, which hampers international enforcement of AML investigations. It's only recent that the Thai parliament is also enacting more stringent banking transparency laws to combat the trend of AML and other related activities.
Plus, distance wise, it's the closest country to India that is politically friendly or at least neutral, (rules out most of the Muslim states nearby) has a developed and stable banking system that can be transacted with ease by foreign nationals (rules out Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma) and is not yet overly burdened by banking transparency laws, unlike the Philippines, Singapore, or Malaysia.
Actually, those last 3 countries are considered good banking secrecy jurisdictions, so they are going to be particularly resistant to this bullshit.
This makes my blood boil . Keep up the great work Mr. Browning! So sad for all the victims.

I love how a CZcamsr is better at exposing scammers than Australian news networks XD
they could be fired so they dont want stir a antnest and they bigger goals than som old people scammed
Or the local police in India.
I was nearly scammed a couple of weeks back. The guy was pretending to be Norton, and said that I owed them five hundred dollars. I almost sent them the money because my Norton subscription had actually run out, and I was in the process of renewing it. I really owe you for making videos like this one, because it really helped me to think through things again before sending that money.
In the early days of scamming I was de-virusing three of my cousin's S.O. kids netbooks. I thought that my cousin had called a tech support company "Windows Support" or some such bogus service before tasking me with the job. When the scammer claimed that they had been notified via the internet of the infections I realized it was a scam. As a career software developer, I knew that what they were claiming was both ridiculous and impossible. The netbooks weren't even connected to the internet and one wouldn't even boot (40+ viruses). I got him to own up to being a scammer and we had a nice little chat. We talked about the shame his relatives would feel if he was widely exposed, karma, poverty and since his English was very good, how he could leverage that skill into finding legitimate work. He didn't seem to be entirely comfortable being a thief and a criminal. Of course this was before all scammers will say when found out are not very inventive insults and profanities.

Why in the world would you be paying $500 for Norton anyway?
Use some common sense people!!
A one year plan costs like $50-60. Even a 3 year plan would only cost $100-150. Far from $500!
You can get Norton for £40 and make sure to set auto renew off otherwise it will go up to £150. After that they will offer the £40 price again. £500 is ridiculously expensive even if it was genuine.
Great Work As Always Sir!!
I watched your interview on This Morning and hope you get more chances to be interviewed and inform more vulnerable folks. Many victims are simply not aware that there is a problem with allowing a stranger inside your computer or phone. Cheers from Canada Jim.

I feel like UK and US should be putting pressure on countries where this kind of activity happens to have a collaboration between the countries' law enforcement agencies to hunt these people down.
These countries are poor and have no incentive to not steal money from the richer countries to add to their economy, and honestly I can't really blame them, it's just really sad that this is the way they're adding money to their economy.

These days, Twitter campaigns seem to be the easiest way to garner attention from the upper strata of the Indian government. They usually acknowledge and respond to mass appeals via social media. Coordination is key, so you might wanna pull some strings. Cheers!
Our police and interpol seem to be totally inept in most capacity
they're not inept, they're doing exactly what they wanna do
@@thepawnmusic Exactly. Nothing they don't care to do.
Why aren’t these stories out in all of the news media to make older people aware of these scams.
Hello jim. My heart bleeds for these old people. The abusive words they get for not understanding what theyre asked to do is infuriating. Keep doing what u do. Thank you jim
It hurts me to watch this, there are so many good samaritans dedicating their time to trying to save victims from these criminals yet the authorities in all countries do nothing to help and often even scupper the efforts of the good guys.
We need guns and bombs to solve the issue at this point
Money talks. As simple as that.
India india india
@@ZX3000GT1 sad but true
Most of the victims don't deserve the money any more than the scammers. People that friggin' $+up!d shouldn't be hoarding hundreds of thousands if not millions or billions of dollars while millions of young, savvy, worthwhile people are living paycheck-to-paycheck, can't afford a house, can't take real vacations, etc.
I can tell you right now even if I were a kcufing drater and believed I owed some Indian over the phone $120,000, I wouldn't be able to pay it. Yeah, cry me a river for these "poor" filthy-stinking-rich ID10TS that don't even bat an eye over sending $120,000 to someone they never met.
Absolute champion 🏆.
I'm Aussie and watched that 7 News special report along with pleasant green.
Keep the pressure up mate. Was great to watch..
Howdy Jim, I was on Pierogi's channel watching their "Scammer Telethon" and made mention of how us, as normal viewers, could protect ourselves and was asking for information about doing so. A person wrote back and made mention about you and something about setting up a "virtual computer". In my past working life I used to deal with computers but on a closed system, so I am not knowledgeable to creating things. Can you give information regarding this type of set up and "should " the normal PC user do this. I would like to learn how to do this set up, to be able to protect my equipment, and possibly learn enough to help fight these"nogoodnicks". Any info will help. Thanks... and keep up the good work!!! So many more are needed that do what you, Pierogi and all his team, as well as the others that are out there helping to keep the computer world safe.
Great job jim! 🙂 keep up the great work.
There is a lot of work that goes into these videos and we all appreciate that!

It's frustrating to not see any action being taken after you've gone above and beyond in identifying these thieves.
loved it, great stuff jim!
love your work Jim!
Always so unsettling hearing my own accent attached to the Baba Yaga of scammers. Keep up the amazing work, Jim!
That must really suck, I can imagine...
You doing great Job sir.
It's a shame to see this happening in India. I work with global partners and this type of scams makes our life difficult when working with people in Europe, USA and Australia.
You’re amazing, Jim!!
It cracks me up that instead of saying “they will be going to jail” they say “they are going behind the bars.”
I get regular calls from scammers saying they're with "Telstra Australia", but they usally hang up when I ask if I'm going to see them on youtube. A "supervisor" rang back once, and started swearing at me when he realised he wasn't getting anywhere. I quite enjoy their calls now. :)
These scammers really deserve the worst of the worst.
but british left india without any punishment
You people looted india before so these is payback time mf
@@dkcompilation9653 proof? I don't think everyone lives for hundreds of years
@@NCHLT so why not return our money.
@@indiarocks5731 because I didn't do anything. You're asking the wrong person
Behind the Bars a scammers favorite phrase 😂😂 As Always Thank you Mr Brown for all you do 💜
WOW!!!! Perfect, it is a very interesting video and sounds very familiar. Great job.
Jim, thank you for all your hard work. I hope you’re every scammers worst nightmare! 👏🏻❤️👋
I love videos where you get their files, delete their copies, take down entire call centers. Great work.
This one errks me the most out of all your videos. Brothers too. Father oblivous. Thankyou for your dedication. If you have any ideas how to get better education please lmk. Perhaps Banks are required to do something to increase education. I truelly do not know but I am heartbroken to see how prolific it is.
Hi Jim, I'm from Thailand and I kinda know why Thai bank account is commonly use in the scamming industry so much.
Some people in Thailand, They just go make new bank account just to sell for the money. I'm not sure about the price but I think it's about 3,000 - 5,000 THB .... about 100$ I think.
They sell to anybody who would buy it, And the seller don't even know the reason why someone would buy their bank account.
A little bit of story about scammer in Thailand. Yes, we also have scammer problems
The scammer will call you directly. they will said they are a police department said you have a illegal package to you come from another country or something like "your name just got use in the illegal activities bla bla bla" they will make you send the money to them by saying they just have to take your money to investigate on some suspicious activities. And you'll lost that money forever
@OfficialFTC👈Telegram I'm lucky enough to know how the scam works. and I did not give them any money.
Thank you so much for the good things you have done guys
Beware telegram scam reply to your comment
@@maxp9598 I'm a bit confused
@@art9999876 i mean do not respond to scams that reply to you asking to contact them on telegram,instagram or watsap they us fake profiles to scam people
@@maxp9598 Yeah, I thought it looks suspicious too. Thank you bro.
When will the Indian authorities start doing something about all the scams? what a country
Great job as always Jim!
I guess the same time American authorities stop invading other countries, screwing over entire populations
All authorities from most countries are corrupt, lazy and simply sh.t. I’m in the uk and have seen so many friends and family members be victims of vehicle theft, general theft, and scams. Nothing was ever done.
Hi Jim, thank you for exposing these scammers, they have no mercy and no heart but stealing people
You're an actual super hero, Jim!
Thank you Jim.
It makes me very uneasy knowing that my grandparents could be falling to this stuff. My grandpa is developing Alzheimer's which makes me even more concerned.
Maybe try to convince Your grandparents to go to the bank and set some kind of extraprotection (idk, additional confirmation needed or delay in processing bigger transfers)?
Restrict software installs on their pc or something. Do a search on the internet how to accomplish this.
Then the scammers will be unable to install any remote software and their scam will not work.
Of course grandparents can get mad if they feel you are trying to take power away or something. You have to explain it’s for their own good and have them watch these videos.
Thanks for what you do. This is justice.
Jim Browning is so amazing, the way Jim access the scammer's computer that's so amazing, and keep it up like this by stopping the scammers
Jim your a genius. Keep up the amazing work
