Yes they are...thank goodness they stepped up. Please remember that the elderly are PRIME targets for scams and we all need to help them!

The woman with 911 also seemed to grasp what was happening immediately and took it seriously.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ 😊

​@@clashofminiaturesbe nice

​@@clashofminiatures Are you into crypto as well ? 😮

yup. nice thing is that some youtubbers are hunting after and trying to shutdown some of these scammers

​@@darwinjinai watch his channel sometimes

No fear when you are on the other side of the planet in an area where the police are complicit in this,

the sad thing is....the scammers is 8K plus miles away. He sounded like those indian scammers.

Well, they're from India.

They wont.

I totally agree with Toxcyn. Biden or his handlers are too stupid or corrupt enough to do anything!

They’re in India.

The governments of several foreign countries where most of the scammers are based, need to go after the criminals. Our politicians need to put more pressure on those countries for that to happen, because the authorities in those countries don't seem to care. One way we can convince our politicians to do something about this, is by putting pressure on US-based **companies** who outsource their technical support and other telephone customer service jobs to the same foreign countries. That outsourcing is part of why it is easier for people with certain accents to sound like they are legitimate representatives of certain companies. But until those countries do something about the scammers, our corporations shouldn't be hiring legitimate call centers there either. That's the only way it's going to stop -- when the people living in those countries feel the financial strain of not having American dollars paying their call centers, then they can put pressure on their own law-enforcement agencies and politicians to do something about it. The most the authorities can do here in the United States is go after the local "mules" and drop shipment mailing companies who facilitate sending the victim's cash overseas. That is absolutely something they should do a better job with. But as long as people can do banking online, and on their phones, there's not much authorities can do to stop the electronic transfers of money overseas. And unless somebody notices someone buying gift cards like in the story, that can't be stopped either.

@@skiploader85If you pay close attention. You’ll notice they always have Indian accents. That’s how you it’s a scam!

Absolutely!

Yes, Big thanks to Myndi 🙏🙏

Another reminder that police need the publics help to do their job effectively, which is a lesson for police officers to care about the public trust they create or destroy with their actions. We Own This city on HBO was based on the true story of a corrupt police squad who were stealing drugs and guns from evidence or people during traffic stops, and selling them back on the street. They also were known by the public for lying and abusing, to the extent that no jury in that area trusted the word of the police, based on their experiences

I'd be visiting the breakers in the back and switching off the one connected to the Bitcoin ATM.

You can even hear the worry in the dispatcher's voice too - all a great outcome and thank God for good people who try to help.

@@billelaal No... If I hear an Indian accent on a random call, I tell them to fk off and never call me again. Scammers the lot of them.

LoL That's what I said! 😂😂😂

​@@billelaalWhy? Are you 9/11 or 7/11? What are you going to do, to a Walmart? 😂😂😂

​@@billelaalthe usual suspects

@@billelaal trashed by who? black people?

Bank of America kicked me out for having the audacity to get scammed. So yeah Chase probably wouldn't side with her either. American Banks are so predatory. And it's fucked up how you have a better credit score if you use your credit card vs always having it paid off.

Community Credit Unions are where its at.

​@@zainnnzyYou're indian your statement is invalid

Sometimes they have actually used the main number in the bank; the main thing to do is go directly to the bank especially if they are asking for money or saying that you have a funds problem.

@@Lessgo00 You're racist, your statement is invalid

The banks do. My friend 71 yrs old, an educated woman, fell for the exact scam and lost $23,500. She called me four hours after it happened. My questions did the caller have an accent? Yes. Did the bank teller caution you? Yes. Did any red flags go off driving $23,500 in cash from a bank to a gas station? It seemed so real. She said got a call her bank account was compromised. The bank needed her to remove the money and deposit it into a bitcoin machine. She talked to two Indian males who convinced her the tellers were in on her account be compromised. (I asked her if the tellers questioned her). She said they asked her if anyone asked her to remove the money, but she was told to say no because the teller was in on it. The teller asked her what the money was for and she was told to say she was buying a used car, so she did. The teller tried to warn her of scams, but she she thought the teller was in on it. Got her money, drove to a gas station and deposited $23,500. Then the callers told her all her accounts were compromised and told her she needed to remove all her money. This time go to another branch. She did, she went to another branch and the teller could see the previous transaction. Same routine questions and same answers, the teller had to convince her she was being scammed. The police were notified. I would think they would seize the machine and force the parties involved to prove ownership of the cash but that is not how it works. The police would NOT take a report and referred her to the FBI. The FBI said fill out a document online and we will get back to you. It’s been a year and she has never heard back from the FBI.

They need to have power of attorney for her and control over her money otherwise this will happen again and maybe by the same people as they already know she's vulnerable.

Talk about nearly avoiding a crisis

Some of us grandmas and grandpas aren’t that stupid. I’m 71 and I’m smart enough to know that this is a scam. Plus I don’t have any money. lol.

Grandma and Grandpa destroyed the country and sold every other generation out.

Not every grandpa or grandma who falls for this is stupid. Mental capacity is different for people of same age. It's not their fault.

@@kksga5476 oh yes it IS stupidity or naïveté. You’re trying to confuse dementia with stupidity, and it won’t work. Just watch the dr. Phil catfish shows and you’ll see that some of these people aren’t even that old. Wake up.

Show them jim Browning's videos from KZfaq. He busts these scammers.

Lots of people like that, refusing to admit they've been fooled. And they vote.

"It is easier to fool people, than to convince them they have been fooled." - Mark Twain

The scammers had control of her desktop computer with Anydesk. They had her on the phone too, maybe a landline phone and the scammers who have a hooked fish are relentless, the most expert scammers take over from the entry level scammers and they don’t stop until the mark is wiped out. 1. Her bank 2. Her family 3. The police. All good to contact. Scammer Payback on KZfaq has finally gotten the police in the USA and India to step up but it took years. Jim browning too. He finds their exact building location and identifies each scammer and the boss. He published their Facebook family pages with luxury trips and cars. Local Indians hate them too. When scammers neighbors, parents, in-laws, religious community, law enforcement, sees what they are doing, they come down hard. Romance scammers might be an even bigger business. Both are huge and we aren’t doing much to stop it effectively.

I would've called the cops at that point

at that point its not sad anymore let them be a victim of there own stupidity and arrogance towards people who are trying to help

Yes, she's the real hero in this scenario!

The clerk too!

scammers via voip can use any number they choose. so, yea, sadly it can appear that Chase is calling you. Most don't realize that so are caught off guard. (I think due to swattings that more people are aware now)

I like the ones that clame to be third party debt collectors company names I never heard of

Yes my dad answered all the time he has a stroke so he doesn’t think and act the same. He got scammed a few times one Facebook marketplace because the seller ask to send the money up front and ghosted my dad. I had to take my dads wallet always because he’s always on his phone since he’s disabled.

@@darwinjina Yeah, I've heard of this. It's called "spoofing". It's unbelievable how sophisticated scammers are getting nowadays.

@@samuels4777 Sorry to hear that. I feel like the older generation has a different mindset not just with technology, but with people in general. They are too trusting sometimes. They are not aware that there are very malicious actors out there who will scam them for every penny and not feel any remorse doing so.

Probably for good reason

there are a few youtube channels that hunt for those scammer call centers. it is big business

cut ties with Idia simple

Yep

Most of them are in India and thay pay the cops there to look the other way and if try to fight back thay will swat you I seen it a lot of times

Watch scammer payback page! He's proof, little is being done because the cops in the other country, India, are in on it

Just genuinely curious where you think we should draw the line? If someone pays for an extended warranty should they have their accounts frozen? What if they are spending money on cigarettes?

These scammers are very good at convincing people they are the bank and they are very persistent

A lot of older folks have made sure they have great credit and obey the law... so when these scumbags call and threaten them with legal action by the FBI and other tactics, the folks feel like they have to do anything they can. Don't blame the victims... blame the f**kheads that prey on the vulnerability of old people.

There’s millions of them. That’s why these scams are still thriving.

So true

I use to play with them money can not be transfered without a password nor can open another account without a password so I played with them till the end and say no money in my bank account they hang up quick

I do the same.

Nah ill waste their time, want to curse sure let's curse, want to say something let's do it, I have all the time lmao

I ask how they got my number and then scream take my number out of your system...they hang up fast then because they KNOW that they are supposed to stop calling when you say that so they try to "not hear" you say that. Our government needs to have a little chat with the country where these scammers originate from. They are not hard to find, even with the pitiful attempt to show a local number when they call you.

It's called a refund scam en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpayment_scam

Probably told her she had money that wasn't hers and would be in trouble if she didn't return it.

There are youtube videos showing just how they do this

They say her bank account has been compromised and she needs to withdrawal all of her money and put it into the machine for safekeeping until they can secure her account

unlike the financial institutions here in the US, right? they scam us legally.

they make you want to vacation there every year don't they

Not really, they just know there’s tons of dummies over here.

Please leave “Nigeria” out of this. There’s a TV series called “AMERICAN GREED” that describes Americans aptly. CNBC. Thousands of episodes describing the typical American flashy, “wealthy” private jet-flying common thieves. Google “American Greed”. Americans are literally stealing each others homes from squatting to stealing property titles. Remove the logs out of your own very eyes. You’ll do and say anything to avert attention from your culture of embezzlement, fraud, corruption, bribery…I mean “lobbying”.😅

Allows? What are they alloeing? The old lady was dumb. Why would chase ask you to send them bitcoin?

​@@kyled2329 She's not "dumb," she was taken advantage of. GTFO with that garbage, heartless fool

​@@kyled2329This can happen to you when you're 80yrs old. Stop calling her dumb you 🤡

What gives you the idea that it is allowed to happen ?

​@@kyled2329She's old for Christ's sake. Are you that stupid not to recognize the problem here ?

Can’t we agree that it was teamwork?

Dont give all the credit to the cop in the headline.

I’m giving all the credit to the cop. Blinded by hate. The lady told 911 she couldn’t get her to stop

@@lescocat1501I'm sorry. I'm confused.. Blinded by hate? Did I miss some detail?

​​​​@@lescocat1501 Why was the cop there? If you were brighter than a gnat, you would know that if the lady hadn't called the police, there would have been no police officer there to help her. I'm so tired of gnats posing as people in the US.

Woman called the police to say she couldn’t stop the lady…but keep reaching honey

Yeah, quite absurd. Just an utter lack of logic. It could be she's simply so old she's lost that part of her mind, maybe she never had it. But truly appalling how gullible some people are. Not near as appalling as the losers on the other end of the phone though.

Not absurd at all. This is how casinos make their money.

That's why more than a few elderly people need to be placed under conservatorship.

Absolutely!

@@patmcbride9853 And their licenses taken away. More end of life hospice care available. Modern medicine does do harm actually, in my opinion, in extending the life of some of these people past reason. I mean, my great granny can't see, can't walk, can't do anything, and they bring her back when she had a heart attack. I get it, save a life if you can, but she's 94 freaking years old. Now it's just a strain on her family with a miserable quality of life filled with drugs and endless nurses coming and going... for what? I know inside she hates it, she was super independent up until 89-90 years old. Still went on cross country trips with her sister, could keep up with me at Disney even. It's a shame she's been put in this situation.

Interesting idea. Maybe they need to put a 24 hour hold on bitcoin transactions or something?

the store does not own the machine

@@scruf153 no one implied that it did

people still say I am crazy for believing trust no one fear everyone

There are more than one scam out there, an actual smart guy from Florida almost fell for a missed jury duty scam

There too many dumb people out there and the scammers know it.

bring back local phone operators every city/town use to have them and buss lines

How?

How much did pedo Biden send to Ukraine?

@@newmexicoballer3867 Watch Scammer Payback, Pleasant Green, nanobaiter, Jim Browning, Trilogy Media, & some channel with only 4 small case letters. They gather all the evidences for the police in India, like location, building, floor, CCTV footage, excel database of all their victims, pictures of the scammers on Wastebook. The police doesn't do anything because they're in on it themselves, like getting a cut from the scammers.

Do tell genius

We cannot remove call centers from there so that won't work, but the national block on calls from them is a good idea. Except then people won't be able to call customer service for some very large companies that are based here in the US but outsource the work to those countries so that probably wouldn't happen either. Money makes the world go round, yaknow.

There’s a reason Sean Hannity is so successful.

​@@darwinjina... what exactly did he reveal? Not everyone likes hannity... I use to but he's a shill

international phonecalls (via voip) are practically free, and there about a billion speaking english in a much lower cost of living so can be paid low wages to trick people over phone.

Indian accent!

Native American Indians called the town White Settlement and it remains that name to this day.

we need sanctions, tariffs would be good too
