I Went Undercover in a Scam Call Center | Fakes, Frauds & Scammers

Рет қаралды 2,402,184

2 жыл бұрын

Most scam callers will do whatever it takes to steal your money. Most feel no guilt, but a small few know they are doing the wrong thing. We speak to Casey, a former scammer in India who is now working undercover in call centres - gathering evidence to help warn would-be scam victims (who sometimes listen, but sometimes fall for the scam anyway).
We also speak with Ben aka. Pleasant Green, a KZfaq scam baiter who works to expose and catch scammers across the world. He recently joined forces with Casey, to try and save people who are about to be scammed out of their life savings.
In a series of candid interviews, Fakes, Frauds & Scammers relives some of the most audacious scams and fraudulent stunts of our time from the mouths of the perpetrators themselves. Whether it’s money, fame or simply an addiction to lying, we find out what motivated these tricksters and whether the highs, lows and ramifications were worth it in the end.

I think the story behind this bit is actually told in detail and it's honestly not worth missing. What I appreciate about his content in particular is that he keeps his focus on the scams and does not camp on cheap racist stereotypes, as some scambaiters elsewhere on KZfaq have been prone to doing. Ben is respectable no matter who he is engaging with, and he has done so much work in helping so many individuals turn their life around with honest work. This is one man worth our support!

When I’m not doing much when they call I like leading them on. I kept one woman on the phone for 2 hours once. When I needed to end the call I told her that the FBI had a good fix on her location so I was hanging up now! It’s kind of mean but what they’re doing is way worse! I think the worse are the romance scammers because they not only bleed their victims dry they also play with the person’s emotions. There have been cases of some of the victims committing suicide because their heart was so broken. It’s very sad.

You should say something like the Interpol or the CIA has a good fix on their location, not the FBI. Make it believable. Everyone knows the FBI only has jurisdiction in the US. Or say you’re tracing their location and pretend doxx them. Say something like “I’ve kept you on the phone long enough. Interpol has a good fix on your call center and all of your identities are compromised. Thank you” and hang up.

My friend had worked for these types of call center for six months. His father had kicked him out because he wanted to be a journalist instead of an engineer. At that time he was in his second year of engineering with me in Delhi's reputed college. After working six months in call center, he had enough money to pay for his tution, So he left the job and completed the journalism. It's been four years and he regret every day what he had done to those innocent people. At that time we were just 18 years old and right now we are 22 years old with reputed jobs.

The scary part that I learned is how they could buy thousands of "leads" or in other words your personal information from a basic name and address to detailed info on particular spending habits and past buying habits that would almost legitimize themselves over the phone.
