The Disney+ Scammers
Рет қаралды 7,987,685
2 жыл бұрынVSupport 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:
KZfaq. KZfaq 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 KZfaq 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 KZfaq: 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:

I often wonder how much the actual workers know. Now obviously some of the more malicious scams where they’re actively editing html code and tricking people to get gift cards, those people are clearly aware and criminally inclined. But these tech support ones where they’re charging for fake software installation and fake software scanning it’s possible the day to day phone folks don’t realize it’s all smoke and mirrors because they are actually doing SOMETHING. I have no idea what any of this stuff Jim explains in this video means so if I started working there at that scam center and the boss told me to run x and install y when you see xyz and charge x amount of dollars I’d probably just shrug and go “if you say so” thinking I’m just doing a tech job.

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.

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.) 💜💜💜

It didn't faze the Indian scammer at all, he proceeded to start a string of cursing at me. They know I stopped one scam, but they just move on to the next one. It's whack-a-mole.

Preying on the elderly, disgusting. You are just awesome, man. The way you handle things, and help people, and talk them through things, is so kind and caring. Keep it up, man.

On the bright side they won't be able to do it much longer. In 10-20 years the very large majority of people alive will be tech savvy enough to avoid these and the scammers will die out. It's only a matter of time, at this point their whole market is people like 65+. When people in their 30 right now reach that age this stuff won't work on them and so on.

@@SharkAcademy It's not the tech that's the problem. A lot of people don't understand coding, firewalls, and computer maintenance/repair. But they still have the ability to recognize the scam. That's what's going to kill that industry because at the moment their victims are almost always people who grew up with little to no technology and the technology they did have was fixed in person by someone. Tomorrow I could get a call about something that I know virtually nothing about being wrong with my laptop and I'd still be able to recognize the scam and most people are the same. I don't think it will die out completely but I think being scammed will be very rare in the next couple decades.

These people (typically elderly, vulnerable citizens) are victims, NOT customers. Calling them customers implies they are getting a service in return for their money. Referring to their victims as "customers" is just another way these scam companies attempt to humanize their crimes and mould their worker's subconscious into believing they aren't doing anything wrong.

Hey now, lets not go overboard. Some scammers are worth quite a lot. They are mostly worth exactly the amount of money they have sucessfully scammed off people. The ones who target the elderly can be very wealthy I hear.

Tbh I wish Jim could open a company where he trains and pays employees to basically do exactly what he does, live streaming it to continue to push channel revenue, just an underground network of folk intercepting scammers. Maybe even a whole department dedicated to wasting their time. Honestly I am tempted to get a burner pc or laptop and learn how to have a little fun myself, not even streaming it, just good fun
