Joining a scam call center (virtually)

Last month, I joined Scammer Payback with Deyo, CJ Scambaits, Karl Rock, Modder Paul, Pleasant Green and Trilogy Media with their teams to create our own anti-scam call center.
We were able to listen to scammers, save some of their victims and even divert their calls to us instead of the scammers. This is how we did it...

I am a 77 year old woman, and so glad that I discovered this channel. I received a scam call a few days ago, telling me that there was a charge on my Amazon account in the amount of $999.00 for a Iphone.. I immediately hung up and called the number back, and got a recording that it was a none working number. Called my bank and everything was fine. Before watching your channels, I probably would have panicked and did the wrong thing. Thank you for helping the elderly to realize that they are being scammed 🙏

Much love Jim.. you are an honorable man and a friend. Happy to have you at the PCC and I cannot wait to work with you next.

[kathleencooney]

I am a Senior Citizen. Without you guys, I could have been scammed. Thank you.

[magicsplls]

I teared up a little when he said the 90 year old woman was going to walk to an Amazon office. Thank you for helping these people.

Jim, you are a godsend. I'm from Kolkata, and am shameful of the truth that we are scam capital of the world. Even us locals get scam calls from them, and you're doing a wonderful job tearing them apart. Thank you Jim.

[PleasantGreen]

Being in the same room as Jim was a dream come true! I can't wait until next time!

[decker]

This group is GOD SENT!!! You guys are awesome and amazing!!! Please don't ever stop helping people. Thank Y'all so much. Keep Grinding.

[warren]

If you don't already, you guys should consider inviting the authorities to these operations and train them up. Keep up the good work!

[TrilogyMedia]

I was there in person and I'm still learning so much from this video. I vote PCC to be a yearly thing!

[KarlRock]

It was incredible to meet you Jim. The next anti scam call center location and meet up… 🇮🇳?

[arasin.staubly]

My favourite question is, "What time is it? You have 6 seconds."

My favourite answer is, "My name? Jim. Jim Browning."

SO many times, they immediately hang up and I get a nice little chuckle out of it.

[listentomemaam]

I can't believe how much effort they put in and preparation they do to run these scams... Its crazy.

[ModderPaulScambaits]

I was there and had a blast... got to meet Jim in person and will always remember this historic week!

[ARUCARDFTEPES]

This project is a beacon of hope amidst the torrent of deception, the collaboration here is the IRL version of the Justice League. There's not enough time left in eternity to say thank you enough to these angelic superstars.

[Carimm]

Based on some of your videos, I now waist as much time as I can when I get a scam call. I pretend to be a older gentleman and tell them BS stories about fake grandkids and just really waist their time. Then I hit them with a high pitched choice or scream to scare the crap out of them before they hang up on me.

[LmfaoBanana]

So beautiful to see a community come together to protect our elderly. Truly doing something great here

[diamonddiaz]

I work at a firm that specializes in bankruptcy. It’s heartbreaking to see these elderly people lose their entire life savings to those scum bags. Thank you for all you do

My very smart (and scam-proof) mother in law got one of the “granny scam” calls from her “grandson” who had been in a pretend car accident and needed help (and didn’t want his parents to know). And he said if his voice sounded off, it was because his nose had hit the steering wheel. She immediately asked, “what kind of car do you drive?” And click! They hung up. I’m so proud of her!!

I have lived outside my home country for 15 years now, I get emails from companies I have never used, once used in my home country, emails from my home country, Japan, China, USA etc. "Your package is waiting" / "You have won a prize draw" / "We can't deliver your package" and lots more BS. IF THEY APPROACH YOU, IT'S A SCAM!
Great work guys!

[lukechioatto]

What an amazing collaboration!! I can't believe I'm only seeing this now!! Bless all of you for defending the vulnerable!!
