Craziest scam I’ve heard, my wife got a call and it was a guys saying he was a police officer and that my wife had a warrant for her arrest. So I called the department he said he was from and put the phones together so the REAL police could say impersonating a police officer was a crime and now they were aware of a scam being done using their departments name and would perform an investigation. The scammer hung up so quick, but it really did scare my wife so badly.

I had some scammer call my grandpa at one point, during a visit. That guy tried to sell him an insurance on his home. My grandpa pulled the most hilarious move, speaking this stuff out loud and then looked over at me: "Oh, okay. Wait. Let me just confirm this with my lawyer. He's here on some business, too." I had to contain my laughter. Of course the scammers still tried to pull their gag, but since my sister (who was also there) works in the Insurance business, we both literally scared these guys with federal lawsuits, pushed to the public eye and the NATO jurisdictional Court, they hung up pretty quickly xD

Scam Baiting videos are actually so satisfying to me, I wish the police would work with a lot of these channels because a lot of these scammers can be absolute scum if you look into these videos more

So Jim actually knows how to hack into both their computers and their security cameras. Its how he's able to get the camera footage and listen in on the phone calls

With the technical side of computers, there are also lots of things that gets often changed/updates, so if an scammer asks for specific things it can be easy to have no idea what they are talking about

You're wrong, Pat. I am immune to scams. I have no money for them to steal.

Definitely waste these scammers time if they ever call you.. make them repeat themselves over and over until they hang up or tell them you'll be right back and put them on hold.. come back every 5 minutes and say "sorry just another minute".. repeat until they hang up

IDK if you've already reacted to them or not, but Mark Rober has videos where he glitter bombs scammers and such. There is also a set of collab videos between Jim Browning, Mark Rober, and Trilogy Media where they team up and mess with the scammers. I think those might be things you'd be interested in reacting to.

My Grandma had a scam call a few times. One time i was there and she was asking me if my laptop was a windows or something and how many computers we had. I looked at her and asked her why. When she said that they were calling about our computers being compromised i knew it was a scam. I think i took the phone asked them some questions and ended up saying, "Well I'm sure i can have my mom take a look at it. Bye." And i hung up. I explained to her it was a scam and she felt so terrible. Her anxiety about the situation was already high. I am just glad she didn't get a heart attack from the sudden stress and anxiety. I kinda wish i threatened to sue them or press charges if she did end up with a heart attack. Mainly to give them guilt, if they can feel it. I wouldn't do that to a normal phine call. But a scam? 100%.

Atomic Shrimp has some great scambaiting videos and answers common questions about them too. No one is immune to scams because scammers rely on coincidence, empathy and desperation. If you are mentally compromised, that is when you are vulnerable. Maybe you're exhausted or grieving, but when you don't have the mental bandwidth to think things through, is when you are vulnerable to scammers. And everyone will have those times in their lives so scammers are playing number games and often have very few to no moral limits.

i got one of them dating catfisher scams myself every so often they come back around trying to get me with a new name/profile on facebook or something so now I don't even look at the friend requests anymore

First Jim can't Swim and now Jim Browning. I'm happy Pat is watching a lot of other youtubers I follow :D

Jim browning, one of the best in the business, love his stuff!

It’s always a good day when pat has a good day😊

Scammers are the scum of the earth

I watched a lot of scambating channels such as Jim Browning, ScammerRevolts, Trilogy Media, Total Karen Scambaiter, Karl Rock, Modder Paul Scambait, Scambaiter, ScammersGotDeleted, Hoax Hotel, Scammer Payback, Kitboga, Deveeear, and more.

Love your vids, Thanks :D

The funniest thing is that some elderly don't have computers, my grandparents don't nor ever had one, my grandpa still don't got ba phone

As someone who's fallen for this scam before, it fills me with joy to see justice served

My mom actually almost got scammed once by someone calling her claiming to be a drug cartel who had kidnapped me, they apparently had someone crying over the phone who sounded similar enough to me to fool her, and I barely got her away from sending a shitload of money after a very long and stressful phone call

Lol just started watching and just subscribed

Love these😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks pat

i already loving the looking out the window guy

I got scammed years ago when I was desperate for a job. Lost so much money because they said I would be reimbursed. Now I'm beyond cautious watching my wife job hunt. We both are watching formed flags.

This shit worries me because on our last family vacation my mom got one of these fake popup scam virus ads on her phone. It took all of us just to explain how to remove it and why she shouldn't call at all costs.

I've gotten plenty of scam calls, and on multiple occasions it was in regards to a specific vehicle, like a 2011 Chevy Cruze for example. Funny thing is, I don't and have never owned that vehicle. Which begs the question, are they literally making call after call until they get somebody with that specific make, model, and year?

Ive never been scammed ever cus scams are so obvious to me, especially now cus of how many vids ive watched of people make fun of scammers (mostly Kitboga, he is hilarious and he does it so good).

Your reaction to scammers is EXACTLY how I felt when I got scammed that my Steam Account will be locked unless I paid them Gift Card from shady websites. Everything was alright in the end, but I'll Never forgive them, all scammers deserve the worst!

This is far from an original comment, but still is worth being said: Jim Browning is the Batman of stopping scammers :) Also, if possible, Pat should make a react video of him watching the Mark Rober and Jim Browning collab :P

I was scammed once When I was a kid I was playing ruinscape and he told me if I gave him my password he would give me amazing items Then he told me to log out and I did Then I couldn't get back in and when I finally did all my items where gone

oh wow! Patt reacting to Jim Browning! Patt Jim actually can get into buildings CCTV so I think that's how he got the footage

I wish someone would go full Punisher on scam places like this. Wouldn't feel even a little sorry for them.

I wonder if you'll ever watch Scammer Payback, he's done such a good job on taking down scammers...

2:07 2am, yeah. Because the earth is not flat 🌐🌎🌍🌏

5.500 USD are 457.074,48 Rupees and a middle class family of 5 needs 40.000 per month so 11 months there in 1 scam

Calling from windows. Not Microsoft but windows

In my almost 36 years I've yet to be scammed, I know they're not as easy to avoid as some people make out. I just seem to have a keen sense for them or something. Honestly the safe thing any time you have even a small sense you might be being scammed just hang up. Nine times out of ten scammers won't call back they'll just move on to the next one, where as if it's actually not a scammer they probably will call back.

Scammer Payback

I thought that was vsauce in the thumbnail lol

My answer to such calls is completely speak in Finnish for every question :D ps. fully random things that don't even make sense to person from finland.

Indians:Stop calling us tech support scammers! It's a stupid stereotype!!! Also Indians:

for some strange reason i read it as streamer LOL

If hacker do that then its true. virus and then you can't use the computer because you cand do anithing

It’s clear the police in India are being paid off at the highest levels otherwise they would have done something about this The reality is they all have family members who probably do things that are illegal. And it seems to me that the police and politicians over there are being paid off otherwise they would take that video and at the very least do a second raid I’m sure there’s plenty of cops and politicians there that do want to fix the issue but they are not in power to do so it seems And just like anywhere else From time to time a corrupt person in power will throw away someone lower to make it seem as if they are doing something about the issues

Just for saying it their total money maid over the 2 years is around 71,000,000 Indian Rupee,

I was scammed once before Facebook market place on Facebook. Someone added me who claim to be living in a town near me and send me a link saying if I want to know what they look like just click the link. I was just starting to work and the link led to weird link and acouple day go by my old bank ask me if I was ever in Europe or buying anything on Europe website . I replied "no" Then they told me that I scammed and they had lock my bank account and reset everything with me. Facebook got scammers that will try to scam people I don't understand. Veggie gamer has been scammed and has his youtube channel acouple years ago and if wasn't for youtube ceo at the get his account recovered he had re uploaded on the channel.

Fun Fact: 1 US dollar is approximately 88 Indian rupees.

Dude don't let them off, they are stealing. If it was one of those you would kinda let off cause it's hard for them, and they stole your grandmother's life savings, you wouldn't be like well they do have it hard, you would want there head. Just cause it's not someone you know, doesn't mean you shouldn't be any less upset over someone stealing from them. There is never an excuse to steal.

5:30 - The guy on the left... 👀 Imagine if Jim and Kit join forces... 💥 I'm pretty sure "Windows Microsoft" would've had better microphones... 🙄 The sad part? My mom has McAffee (or whatever) on her laptop. 🫣 Barbara sounds like she was a chain smoker. 🫢 Thank goodness she ghosted him. 😜
