Almost scammed for £32,000

- 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 money to another UK bank account. This video describes their techniques for persuading him to do this and the coaching the gave him to ensure that he complied with their demands.
I post videos to raise awareness of these sorts of scams. Please share to help stop them.

The scammer is a parasite.
You stopped a 91 year old losing £32k to a scammer. You did great man. I wish you happiness and prosperity 👍
We need more people like this.... helping vulnerable people
Losing* sorry to correct you but I see this mistake all the time. Even the president of the United States tweets it incorrectly and he’s meant to be leading by example. Spread the word. ‘Lose’ (to lose money) & ‘Loose’ (to loosen a knot I.e the opposite of tighten)
So it should be .... losing £32k
Not loosing (which would be to loosen) :)
Merry Educatedmas
Yup. Too bad Jim doesn't get paid for this (well, indirectly through CZcams I suppose) It would be a better use of government funds than much of what they waste it on.
@@MrBlageur Thank you. Drives me crazy.

"ah you still drive at 91, ha ha ha that's lovely" honestly that was so annoying
yeah, he also tried to manipulate old fellow in speaking on the phone and driving
That’s not annoying the way he repeats everything is annoying

@@kaylaren3183 you would have to be a smart 91 year old (with computers) to think this is a scam
@@omerelhassan9133 yeah I probably wouldn't realize it was a scam but I'd hang up because I'd feel insulted lol
If you ever feel useless, just remember that Kolkata has a cyber crime department.
Probably the officials have been heavily bribe. Thats why its a scammer haven there. So it really is useless. The only way to take them down is by releasing this details to the press

That's kinda useful. Nice try

This guy is literally saving lives. My 73 year old uncle was scammed out of 30.000 euros a few years ago, much of his retirement savings. Eventhough he was completely healthy before, he died in his sleep 2 months after the scam from all the stress and worry. These scammers are beneath rats.
Robert De Groot sad to hear.
These people are fucking parasites they should get whipped from this world.
beneath rats is not enough to describe these creatures
Wow so they literally killed him...
I'm really sorry for that
These idiots scammers need to go back to Roblox where they can act so fucking childish while exploiting people
Losing 30 isnt bad. Don't know why you put a decimal
My God! That scammer’s voice is sooooo bloody annoying!
"OK??? OK???" - scammer
Alright, alright, alright, alright, alright
indian accent lol
Imagine, if Morpheus voice was such, Neo would called him benchod and ended the call. Then no Matrix movies were created.
I think it's half to do with how fucking patronising he is "oh it's so great that you still drive at 91!" what
Who should see this: old people
Who are watching: young people
Our responsibility: inform our old people
I’m 40. You calling me young?

Kat Astrophe Well 40 might not be super young but it is definitely not old😂😂
@@KatKevaKelise I'm 39, yes I do.
To young people: Get old and stay informed.
It always blows me away that the victims don't immediately figure out something is up once the scammer starts insisting that they need to lie to their bank about a wire transfer
these scams are designed with the understanding that they'll only work on very gullible people, these call centers send out thousands of calls a day knowing they'll get money out of a few people who will fall for it
When scams are viewed through the lens of a spectator, it always feels this way, keep in mind that these scammers target people who are not technologically fluent / gullible / too trusting. And on top of that there is a later of emotional manipulation, whether that is the fear of losing every cent you have ever worked for, or otherwise. (For example, a scammer telling an elderly woman (or scambaiter posing as one) that they remind them of their grandmother). AND they send out thousands of calls per day so even if only 5 people fall for the scam, the call centre will make 200-2000 each one.
Imagine walking into a bank and you can't trust the cashier
@@updownbanana Unfortunately in many cases, even when a person suspects they might be being scammed, loss aversion is a powerful thing that the scammers will often employ when the victim starts to show skepticism. So a person doesn't have to be gullible to end up being scammed. Unfortunately I have a friend that learned that the hard way.
But yeah, don't lie to your bank about what's going on. They can help you if you're honest about what's going on.
I know right.
I’m so glad that the 91 year old man got to experience kindness from a willing to help stranger at the final years of his life 🙏

@vegetable man; "he's old now stupid"... Are you sure about that? Despite his life experience, he nearly got scammed outa $32,000. If at 91 you're trusting every single Indian accent on the phone asking for money, something's not right up there...
Took a shot every time he said "ALriGhT" , now the whole city is drunk.
Or him saying "oKaY?". That guy is so annoying...
No, whole city is dead. Lol
how do scammers expect people at the age of 100 to understand the term "hackers"
@@MT-gc5xx Thats the point. They dont. So the old people think " Oh I dont know what that is and he says its bad wow he must have so much knowledge I can trust him"

Found your channel a week ago and been binge watching your videos. I sent this video to my fiancé as he works at Santander, he took it into work and the branch he works at watched it as part of their meeting. They also sent it to the other branch in the city to watch. It will hopefully help them so much to watch out for situations like this in their branches. Thank you xxx
Yooo me too 😁 I'm like halfway through all his videos 🤩
Also that's really nice about your fiance & Santander. Wish Lloyds would watch it too
Well done! 👍
thank you for passing this information along !!!
They don't care ....period !

@Arrow Head
What the hell d’ya mean?
I'm shocked the other bank wasn't interested in any information.. I was under the impression that banks were legally required to proactively investigate potential criminal activity (at least where I live)
After my first experience with a bank being particularly shitty (really stupid contract clauses and mobile banking issues up the ass) I just don’t really trust banks 🤷♂️
@@relser187 they buy and sell stocks with our money, i dont trust em either
What are they gonna figure out when the dude is coached. I’d be insulted if my bank was questioning me. I do think that is stupid tho. From what I know banks don’t look at obviously legal funds. Hence he’s sending money not depositing it. Banks really only watch for money laundering as a legal requirement. Theoretically this is. It’s not beyond unusual for a bank to see transactions like this. 40k is a lot but not insane for the bank at all. I’ve had my grandparents wore me like 15-20k a couple of times for school. Not trying to sound like an ass. There are just many people with means and valid reasons to do things like this.
@@relser187 I respect your feelings about the trust. I think the shitty parts though are like your fault. Unless you got a lot of money no bank will ever care about you.
TSB. The Bank that likes to say Yes! (to scammers)
The thing that hits the hardest in these videos is when Jim asks the victims whether it not they sent the scammers money. You can feel the emotion in his voice when he asks the question.
I can’t stand his voice and the way he talks, especially Ok ok ok ok ok ok 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Yeah, I would not recommend them after watching this.
I agree. I wouldn't use a bank that isn't interested in acting on Intel that a scam is taking place
Banks are only worried about their own interests. If TSB was losing money the would damn be interested in it.
I used to have an account with them. Was never scammed or anything but can confirm that their customer service is awful and very unhelpful, all well hidden behind an impenetrable wall of British politeness 🙄
@@ksz0009 can you tell more about that?
I love how you don't just stop at messing with the scammers, but you straight up go out of your way to stop them from scamming others. Truly admirable, good sir.
I'm fine with Indian accents, it's how demanding and insulting his tone is. Speaking to their victims like they're reprimanding a toddler
That’s because they make around 600- 1000 calls everyday and thus their tone turns up like that. There is nothing Indian in it lol . Their accent turns up like that in few weeks.
I am an Indian, and I assure you his accent has Indian in it. :)

Indeed. In my world, these scammers would face immediate death sentences. No trial or jury. Full Judge Dredd mode.
@@PaulVandersypen Then you are just as bad as the scammers. Most of these scammers in India don’t have a choice. India is a very populated country with a lot of poverty and a lack of well paid jobs. These scammers need these scams to get their commission so they can feed themselves and their family. So by just giving them death sentences rather than helping them out to stop them from scamming is shortsighted and deluded
@@FLAMEalan They always have a choice. Most of the tech giants legitimately have tech support centres in India because the cost of labour is so inexpensive. Plus, it has been shown that when offered legal jobs, the scammers never reply or follow through with the offered help. Maybe the struggle to feed families is real, but stealing, extorting, and ruining lives is not the solution. I stand by my opinion. Scammers should be eradicated. Would I like to see them turned into good, honest, people? Sure, but they don't want that. Does providing all the data on their crimes to cybercrime police do anything? No. That only leaves one solution. You don't like it, fine, but it is the *only* option left.
@@FLAMEalan On top of what I wrote below, your argument is nonsense. You are saying it is perfectly okay for criminals to be criminals because they are hungry? If that was remotely true, then jails around the world would be empty, or certainly far less populated. You are justifying crime, which makes your argument sound just as stupid as allowing these scum to live.

This is the scammer: I am going to scam you ok? Ok? Ok? Ok? Ok? Ok.
this is a scam alright alright alright alright? ok?!
If you were to make a video comprised of his "alright" and "ok" it would last 2 hours
God, it's so hard to listen to these damn scammer's voices sometimes because of the incessant use of 'OK?' and how much they repeat themselves! The repeating of the "I will coll you on your mobile fone" (missspelled intentionally to match pronounciation) made me grit my teeth and cringe my face off

How could u not smell a rat?
This reminds me of my 79 years old neighbor who live alone almost got scammed and was so stressed out he entered the hospital. I usually come over to his house to take care of his birds for him and he told me about about it so I was able to warn him about it. He almost drain his bank to pay for the supposed irs but thankfully didn't. He passed away 2 years ago and he gave his birds to me and donated all his possessions to charities.
I'm sorry he died 😭 he's really nice though he gave his possessions to charity

The scammers get arrested in a very public way, and close the location. However, they are never tried or convicted. Bribing police and judicial officers in India rarely costs even a few thousand dollars at most.
The scammers make millions, and when caught, the police in India simply want a cut.
He syncs the audio and video up after the fact, based on time stamps of the audio files and the CCTV footage. It is not happening "live" per se.
Um no... He "falls victim" to their scam enough to let them connect to his computer and the he does a reverse connection after the scammer gives up on him and then Jim has anonymous remote access and he watches the next scams because he has no power other than to grab info and report
@JOHN LYONS Jim Browning plays the victim ,scam baits these call centres, Only if ,and i say ONLY IF the teknishan connects to Jims computer remotely then IF the teknishan sureptishislee steals the file marked /Passwords/Bank.Login/Chase.bank and then transfers the file from jims computer to the scammer computer when the scammer opens the file marked "Jims Passwords and bank login" it is possible he has stupidly given jim browning a reverse connection and remote access to jim . If the scammer did not steal the password file and open it it would not happen . Jim then basically begins recording the scammers PC for weeks ,he does not sit there 24/7 watching as I would , I suggest you search for "scammer revolt" on youtube his videos show how a person "Could" attack a scammers PC ,you could also google "Nanocore "

I need to constantly remind me that having an Indian accent doesn’t automatically make you a scammer but these videos make it really hard for me. I used to work in a call center and my Mexican accent made it really difficult to make someone trust me, I can’t imagine how hard is for a legitimate Indian tech support agent to be trusted nowadays.
Nice try Rajesh 😂
You can only be a scammer. Its like someone with no arms cannot be a pilot.
This is important. These monsters do not represent Indians as a whole and it's very important to remember the difference. I work at a legit tech support called center and our Indian branch cannot make outbound calls for this very reason and they hear INSANELY racist comments everyday.
The problem is also that the real dell, HP and Microsoft are a few companies that outsource these jobs to India.
Yeah bet its difficult
This is so weird. On one hand, watching these videos really damages my trust into people. On the other hand, Jim Browning is restoring that trust at the same time.
These scammers are so crooked. Being a banker myself breaks my heart assisting elderly victims being taken advantage of these heartless humans. Can't imagine how they can sleep at night.

There needs to be some kind of TV advert to educate these older people. This particular scam has like a million red flags in it. It's hard to imagine someone falling for it.
Education would help, but a lot of them would still fall for it. If a person has cognitive decline and gets confused easily in everyday life, even a bad scammer like this would be able to run circles around them.
@@JWildberry but if awareness can even save 1 person from being scammed then I think it's worth it
@@randomnonsense2259 Definitely! My comment was meant as a counter to people who don't understand how anyone can be fooled by it.
My dad is 73 and has a clear mind. Today he got a call from an unknown number, and he asked me to look it up. "I don't answer or call back unless I know who it is," he said. I was so relieved!
It is easy to be scared/fooled by scammers, and awareness is the best defense. My dad's understanding of the threats out there means he's less likely to come into contact with them, and less likely to be fooled if they reach him. He'll do the grumpy old man thing instead, and tell them he doesn't want any!
@Good Ole Arky Gal How bizarre. I haven't watched a scam video for months and I watched Jim again 3 days ago, where he mentioned a couple of other CZcamsrs, Kitboga and scammer payback. So I've watched a lot of their stuff in the last 3 days and now I go and get a comment on a 4 month old Jim Browning video. It's almost like you knew what I was doing. You haven't hacked in to my computer have you? 😂
I agree, it is easy to fall for it. Especially with complicated issues like tech support. I had a situation about 12 years ago, where I typed my bank name in to Google and clicked on it, not realising that it had taken me to a scam copy of the bank page (now I know to check the URL). It asked for digits of my password to login as normal, which obviously failed. Then it said retry, but I didn't click on to the fact that they now asking for the alternative digits, which again failed, it then asked me to prove my identity by filling out my name and address. It all looked exactly the bank website at this point, so I didn't suspect anything. Fortunately the bank were already on to it and suspended my account in the back ground and explained what happened.
If there had been public information adverts around that explained these things, I would have known what to check for. Either the government should do them or the banks/I.T. giants should do a collective advert.
Hospitals should have this stuff in them so older people see this
Thanks for letting us know about these hackers mate appreciate it mate love from the uk 🇬🇧
You're a legend, Jim. A true legend.
God damn this scammer is like a broken record on repeat.
“To my sister. To my sister. To my sister.”
In boarhmingham
they do it because they know their victims are old, so they have to repeat everything enough to help them remember
pathetic, really
It works, psychologically. It might also make the victim really angry at you, but if you get away with it (e.g. because the victim is out of their depth and in a mindset that has them thankful for any “help“ they get) it’s a really effective way of coaching them
Probably reminds him of benchode
i hate people who talk like that.
"alright?" "alright?""alright?" "alright?" "alright?" "alright?" "okay?" "okay?" "alright?" "alright?" "okay?" "alright?" "alright?" "alright?" "alright?" "okay?"
I'm sorry Jim but I cannot get through this whole video.
Jim calls him at the end and warns him. No money lost. Neither bank wants Jim's report.

“You’re 90 and you still drive that’s lovely!!” No that’s worrying why oh no
Poor dude tho I’m glad he didn’t get scammed
Scammer: I'm about to scam a vulnerable 91 year old man......alright.
Jim: Hold my beer 🍺
i picture him more like "Hold my carbonated water" XD
“The hackers will take you money and runaway!!"
This is so ironic lol
Seriously.
Yeah! They’ll just runaway!!
Earlier this week, I saw this happening in my local supermarket. I was putting away my purchases at the kiosk when the woman behind me put ten Amazon cards on the counter. Fortunately, the sales-woman was on the ball and asked if they were Christmas presents or had someone rung her and asked her to buy them. It transpired that she had the scammer on her mobile phone at that moment, and was terrified that he could overhear what was being said. She said that she had been run by someone claiming to be from the Inland Revenue and wanted payment for outstanding taxes which could most easily done using Amazon gift cards. What amazes me is that she was in her 50s and seemingly quite intelligent. She had fallen for the scammer's patter completely. She was appalled at how easily she had fallen into this trap. It was time for a hot, sweet cup of tea in café when she realised how close she had come to losing £1000.
This would be the first time that *I've* (second edit)
heard of
*this particular* (first edit)
scam being pulled in the UK!?
I was taken for $85 once by a completely random homeless guy on the street. A good con man can suck you in with a convincing tale and get you totally under his control, like hypnosis. Now that I've experienced it first hand I am extremely grateful to those who interrupt such a scheme.
Glad she found out in time.
@Mike Rotch-Wreeks it's very easy to spin that in a way that would make it more believable. For example, the agent will fix you tax problem if you give him a small donation. Once you bought into the idea that you are actually in trouble, you would go through a lot to fix it.
@@arikb : Nope. I would never deal through an agent. I am hard-wired to regard agents as parasites, even if I belived that the agent was a genuine agent. And no respectable agent would ask for payment with Amazon cards. If HMRC/IRS want to deal with me they must deal directly, and show me the figures.
Modern day hero! If no one else appreciates what you do (which I can see they do) know I do. Keep up the good work!
Sending so many blessings to you Jim. I know this case was a while back but it sadly continues with scammers infecting us with their presence. I’m glad Norman was safe. Thank you for all you do xx
If someone's _telling you what to say,_ it's a scam. Don't do it.
If someone is _Indian,_ it's a scam. Don't do it.
so what should I say if I'm in this situation?
Anybody in life, is doing something wrong.
Prismarine that sounds so racist but deep down i know it’s true and that hurts a little 😬
@@dinamaruii1007 Dw, it's a joke. Obviously I didn't think all Indians are scammers lol.
9:26. “It’s on the notepad. Check your notepad. It’s written in CAPITAL letters.”
Notepad: all lowercase letters
Then he corrects himself and actually says: "it is in BLACK letters" lol
@@afifancer1895 he said BLOCK which would be the same as capital
FE Rebekah were is the part were jim saved this old man's money?
maybe the information that was blurred out was in capital letters
Jim your help and awareness is highly Appreciated ❤
You r indeed a HERO.
You are an absolutely amazing person for doing this. My heart was racing seeing how close, and manipulative these people are. The banks are just as guilty if you ask me. They don't want to know unless something happens. This is completely shocking. Shame on the banks too for not caring.
"These bank people will try to MANIPULATE YOU AS WELL." Talk about a Freudian slip.
Better the person at the bank scams you, you will get back your money.
scammers make a lot of those
In another video a scammer wrote on email "Our conversation may be watched by other criminals"
They are stupid as hell
The Bank is keeping everyone's account information safe and that includes the scammers. The Scammers can NOT make any money if there were not so many IDIOTS out there. From the Bank's perspectives people are VOLUNTARILY moving money around. The Bank does CARE because the scammer is saying do NOT tell the Bankers anything because the bankers are hackers. Who would believe this nonsense from these scammers. What the hell??
@@albeerobert The dude was in his nineties might have even had some dementia. They target as old as possibly for this reason.
"Has anyone pressurized you"
Sounds painful.
K G I know 😂
Haha. That is what I was thinking.
The scammer’s brain is under 2 atmospheres at least
Hahahahah

So stay clear of Lloyds and/or TSB. Good to know.
As someone who worked for santander I almost choked hearing the name. Thank you for helping our customers! Alot of them are elderly and easily confused
Makes me so angry. I've told me 93 year old mother to never give any information to anyone without checking with one of her kids.
It's so scary isn't it? My parents are in their 80s, and don't do much on the computer, and don't touch the internet at all - but they get scam calls all the damn time. They hang up on most of them, but my dad almost fell for a different one recently. They'd come door to door, and were trying to sell him on 'rendering' the outside of their house, claiming they would make it stronger and 'fix' subsidence (which the house isn't having a problem with). My dad was going to go through with it, at a cost of $15,000. He also wouldn't listen to me that it was a scam, and that a plastic coating sprayed onto brickwork isn't going to do a damn thing to foundations, but he was being stubborn. In the end I had to find the paperwork and call them behind his back, then put the fear of fucking god into them. I let them know that I knew it was a scam, had checked their website and reported them to Watchdog, and the better business bureau, and that I'd contact the police if they tried to prey on my elderly parents again. House never got rendered, they never got a penny. But it was so close!
My mother got a Social Security scam the other week. She told him he was full of sh*t, asked him where he was really calling from, and he hung up. Can't fool mama.
Listening to the scammer bully and boss a 91 year old man around made me so angry. Thank you for alerting him to the scam.
Jim you are truely amazing! The work you do to help mostly them who are to old to know they get scammed is very important
I just want to give those scammers a high-five... in the head... with a brick. Besides that, i think you are a hero made of the stuff of legends
The scammer's voice makes him sound so punchable that he deserves every ill wish he gets from his evil deeds. Shudders.
@@joeygreathouse3029 ok that is racist
@tony smith You realize that these scammers feel justified in their thievery b/c they have a stereotype of Americans as rich and stupid. The amount of money these scammers steal is pretty good proof of it. But it's neither accurate nor fair to say that about ALL Americans! That's jacthing1 is saying. Just individuals, not entire races of people.
@tony smith You've been brainwashed by the right into thinking that calling out something that's /actually/ racist is bad.
The /scammer/ sounds like a douchebag, the OP never said anything about an entire race. Joey, judging by the comment, also hates Arabs and Indians.
It's called being /tolerant/ of people different to yourself. Spanish voices really grate on me, but I don't hate spanish people for that.
PON PON PATA PON I’m an Indian who’s living in the UAE, I guarantee you none of the people above have ever gone out of their country(Most probably the USA) so they don’t know anything about the outside world.
Joey Greathouse Arabs have some of the best voices.
Legends say he is still saying alright.
And sista and DotA
Legend also has it he's still tracking porpoises!
Legends say the scammer is still saying : OK
Legends say that the scammer is still scamming: :(
@@accountdeactivated5546 legends say one day he will meet his doom
Your the best.
And this channel is better than any "true crime" movies / tv shows / documentaries out there.
We are all behind you and love the work you are doing!!
Jim you are amazing. I do not have words for the kindness you do, known and unknown.
I don’t understand how people can have such a lack of guilt and shame to scam an elderly person. To me, it’s almost like scamming a child, and it’s especially evil when the person has dementia (my grandma has Alzheimer’s) The total lack of remorse in the scammers voice honestly makes me lose hope for humanity. Although I would still hate them, I would respect them a hell of a lot more if they had an unwritten rule to leave the elderly alone, but no, not only to they have no problem scamming the elderly, they actively target them. Legitimately makes me sick.
Even worse, when they dont succed they get mad and really nasty
My grandmother's late husband was developing dementia for yearrs before it fully overtook him, and he was constantly bombarded by phone scammers. My grandmother was luckily retired so she would hear him start to give info and then stop him before he could have too much damage done. There were times where they got some money from them unfortunately.
Unfortunately, the elderly are the most likely to fall for these scams because of their age and lack of familiarity with computer systems. It sucks, but it makes what Jim does that much better.
Just the elderly? How about those with mental and physical disabilities? Should they be scammed as long as the elderly are safe?
you dont understand how a lot of the rest of the world thinks. there are many different mindsets out there that we dont ever get to experience (often). many people in third world countries (most of india is poor) have some very shitty mindsets that justify their behaviour. they simply justify their actions even if they know its shitty by some nonsensical reasoning such as "who cares if you scam an old person, they are going to die soon anyways" or "they are a waste of space" etc. there are MANY of these mindsets like this out there that we dont often experience where we live.
and dont misunderstand me here, im not saying that this is for ALL people in third world countries, most people in third world countries have some of the biggest hearts youll ever see. but we live in a world of polar opposites. we have the best of the best and the worst of the worst everywhere, developed countries too (obviously).
Alright?? Alright? ALRIGHT?!?
And aNd anD
Ok?? Ok?? Ok??
I hate people that do this in conversations.
RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT?
Alllllright
Jim you're an amazing human being, thank you for doing what you do !
Thx Jim and all the scramblers for saving victims and bringing awareness to everyone. My dad is 92 and he hates those phone calls. Thankfully he only has a landline, no cell phone or computer. He also doesn’t have access to his bank as he has a family member have power of attorney to his bank. Thx also to scam sandwich, scammer payback, kitboga, pleasant green. ( so many more). For all that you do to stop these predators
A bank that is not interested in information regarding illegal activities?
Oh boy...
Surely that can't even be legal.

it just shows how these banks don't care about there accounts I would like to take all my money out and put in under the floor boards as that might be safer than using a bank :-) happy Christmas
Henri Hanninen: It may have something to do with how UK bank fraud liabilities are structured; in the US, bank customers generally have zero liability for most forms of fraud, so the banks here have a powerful incentive to set up robust fraud prevention and response measures- hence most US banks would likely accept the information (albeit without releasing anything to the third party fraud informant). It's possible that the threshold of fraud liability for UK banks is way lower, so that they would feel more comfortable in responding exactly the way TSB was reported to have acted.

I got ear cancer from listening to him say that.

lmao
i had to turn down the volume.
Great work Jim Thank you, these scammer are not human, how can they live with themself.
Days before Christmas too... ouch. Thanks for your work. Keep it up, never stop!
I have a feeling the old guy didn’t realise how lucky he was , well done Jim 🙏🏼
My blood is boiling. I just wish I got my hands on this guy
This makes me 😡.
Good on you for making each party aware of this. Shame on them for not taking things seriously!
My heart breaks for these victims. The confusion, emotional turmoil and then for some the loss of their money. What is wrong with these scammers? God bless you Jim and the wonderful work that you are doing to help these folks.
Lloyds was uninterested in hearing about a scam involving laundering through one of their accounts? That's a pretty serious crime and the bank could be found negligent.
The scammer bribes loyds..
These are bankers
They'll rape and eat a newborn baby.
TSB has not been part of Lloyd’s since 2013
Banks don't answer to random people who call them up. If it is serious, the police will contact them or the applicable governing body.
Don't know about the UK, but the US requires all bank workers to follow up on all reports no matter where they come from. Training emphasizes that any failure to do so will result in fines and/or jail time, no matter how ridiculous the report may sound. I've been through that *^&* training every six months since I started work 11 years ago, they definitely drill it into your head. And I don't even do accounts.
Norman's innocent voice at the end broke my heart 💔 these scammers are so cruel.
Don't worry. There is a very special place reserved in hell for these absolutely disgusting horrific scum bags. Absolutely appalling. The utter lack of guilt and shame in this things voice (not a human. So thing?) And the saddest part is knowing that this poor chap Norman was just 1 of probably 1000s that this animal had called this day alone.

It’s partly the scammers fault but also a fair portion of the blame is the naiveté of the victims.
Inb4 victim blaming.
@@colin-campbell Brain chemistry degrades as you age. The cholinergic & glutaminergic systems in the brain start their recession around 70 years old, around a solid 80% of people at this age are on gabaergic medication alongside an opiate, most frequently gabapentin & pregabalin which slow down the glutamate system even more. A 91 year old man is in no way naive, being elderly is the opposite of naivety. Old people are just more gullible because of how alone they are and are so desperate for human interaction. Clearly the case here with norman as if he had a family support network he would most likely not have his pension stacking up while he rots away. Less acetylcholine with age = less critical thinking & problem solving, only a small amount of people in their 90s aren't amnesiacs, we all need to spend more time talking with old people, i have such respect for care takers who keep them company. This boom of indian evil that happened in the past 7 years really needs to be something all of the elderly know about, its shocking how little the authorities care. I would say people in their 40s or 50s who fall for these scams are indeed naive, not being familiar with computers is one thing but trusting some indian on the phone without being a little sceptical is mind boggling, as racist as it is. I do feel sorry for people who work at legitimate call centers who have a strong indian accent.
Peter Grahame
They deserve a share of the blame too.
Aniceto Maldonado Jr
I said they deserved a portion of the blame.
I hate these scammers . So heartless and so sick to listen to them scam these old people . I hate ittttttt. THANK YOU JIM YOU ARE SERIOUSLY THE BEST
Any scammer makes my blood boil, but these are especially awful..I recently saw an Atomic Shrimp video where the scammers where perfectly happy to take away the savings of what they thought was an elderly man who needed life saving heart surgery..to be fair I don't know the lives and positions of those doing the scams but I believe you always have a choice, and stealing is awful. Appreciate the content Jim! Your computer skills are amazing.
