I Took Over a Scam Call Center!

What would happen if I had access to some scammers' calling software and could connect to their server? I would probably cause mass hysteria :)

Check out this video for my wild adventure and warn the people in your life about tech support scams.

I love that so many people are working together to shut these scum bags down! Thank you, Ben!!!

Ben, I would absolutely volunteer my time and resources to call as many almost-victims as possible to prevent them from becoming victims..

[mattmorrison]

Doing a terrific and noble job here. Just a note that in Call Center type applications (like I assume you are attached to with your VOIP phone), hitting the ignore button as you did doesn't necessarily disconnect the external caller but instead puts the call back in queue for the next agent (scammer). It's a process called Return on No Answer (RONA), so you'd be better to accept the call and then hang up. Great work none the less.

Hey from seniors in New Orleans. Those POS show up on our screens, but now we know how to get rid of them, without getting scammed. And we also pass the word, to friends and colleagues: let our fellow seniors know to NOT respond to these bastards. Bless you all for helping rid the world of these bottom feeders.

My grandmother this week fell for a scam! She feels super embarrassed that it happened, when somebody threatens someone with jail or that they will hurt them if they won’t pay is so crazy to think about.. well 4, 500$ dollars and 2 days later she finds out she was taken advantage of.

Damn pleasant green going from pranking call centers to stealing their systems it never disappoints

[DEYOCLUB]

Saving potential victims is the most amazing work in scambaiting! You have been doing some amazing work, Mr. Ben! I appreciate you including me in this project. Thanks, man!

I remember the time when scams was just a thing you needed to accept that it existed and just try not to get scammed… seeing so many channels doing things the police would never, it’s just beautiful…. This is not a thing that we have to live with anymore… we are getting together to dismantle them

[leaveittoweaver]

I seriously get a warm happy feeling that you, Trilogy, Pierogi, Jim Browning, Deeveearr, Kitboga there are so many of my fave channels I've been watching for years, learning & paying attention, have all joined in the fight & really making a difference. Because of all of you & the MTV show Catfish, i know soooo much & I try to help people not get romance scammed. I don't have a setup or anything but I spread awareness.

I'm from Germany and I'm so glad that my grandmother
does not speak English. Because that is the best protection so far against these scamming rats.

Actually teared up a little near the end when the Veteran mentioned fighting for this country years ago. I could hear the disappointment in his voice.

Never tell your enemy that you are in the process of destroying them, until you have totally destroyed them to ash.

"They're like dirty toenails, they'll always come back." I'm stealing that one.

I live with and take care of my elderly mother. She lives in a retirement community. These scams would devastate a huge amount of these very vulnerable people. Have you ever thought of compiling an easy to follow presentation someone like myself could give en mass to a group to try to raise awareness of these scams. What the IRS would do and wouldn't do etc? Instead of trying to save them one by one you could go straight to the source where the elderly congregate. Thank you for what you do and on behalf of people with elderly loved ones you are doing a great service for. ❤️

[odannyboy]

Beeb, you’re a great American and we need more honest knowledgeable, good hearted people like yourself pulling together to stop this incredible theft! Thank you what do you do and God bless!

[nDmykART]

"Catch me if you can!" is the funniest response i've seen from a scammer lol, usually they just swear to you then hang up.

[laurenpiantino]

You guys are ALL heroes; keeping us safe from the despicable hackers. Thank you!

[mathewmclean]

You should do what Malcolm Merlyn does and start flooding their call center with robocalls for days on end. To the point where the scammers cannot make or receive any calls.

You should start making calls to premium long distance numbers that charge $10 per minute and start racking up the debt on behalf of these scammers.

[Apocalyptic_Pony]

I have you and all the guys trying to stop scammer to thanks, because of you I have less scammers calling me each day. Thank you for protecting everyone.

You guys are awesome. Instead of the government hiring 80k irs agents that help no one. They should hire 80k guys and girls like you. Now that would help us.
