Been watching Jim for years and it's so good to see he's finally made it on a British show that you might find a lot of older people watch, this is the best way to help vulnerable people be more aware. Now if he makes it one news channels, it's almost checkmate!

[Themis]

So many nights I've lied in bed watching Jim's videos. 😅

This man deserves a Nobel Prize by helping humanity avoid this pestilence !

It never even occurred to me that Jim Browning wasn't his real name. 🤣

There are several people who do this and they deserve every bit of respect and support.

Jim is a modern day hero. Protecting the most vulnerable in our society. Absolute 100% Legend!

[dukeslaw]

He’s a legend in his own right but there are so many who takes the fight to them

[StrawberrySunday]

Jim is a legend. I don't know how he keeps so calm when confronting those scammers.

I’ve been watching Jim Browning and the Scammer payback channel for a few years. They do amazing work individually and when teamed up. True hero’s 🤩

[MacCosmic]

I don't believe I wasn't aware of this interview.
True heart of gold and one of the best of us, who clearly doesn't wear a cape but instead Cark Kent glasses =P.
Jim is a real life hero for going above and beyond the moto of helping others. He's in the ranks of Military/Police/Fire/Medical personal who serve.
Thank you Jim for just being you!

Remember don't be a scammer, instead be like Jim no mater what job you do in this world and the world would be a better place.

Not just Jim Browning, but Trilogy Media, Pleasant Green, Karl Rock, IRLRosie, Scammer Payback and all the others. They're all funny and talented.

[Lukelovell]

Brilliant, can't believe I couldn't find this on your own channel. All the best Jim, what a humble man

[lances]

Jim Browning is an absolute hero. I've been watching his videos for years. it's quite funny sometimes to see the scammers panic.

[lynnsbomb]

He hacks into their surveillance equipment and watches them while he’s talking to them at times. Love this guy.

[kulesa]

about reverse connection: " honestly, i wouldn´t encourage anybody to do this." Jim Browning, Legend, and the godfather of a whole new generation of very efficient scambaiters.
thank you for the great work you do.
