Here we have another wonderful anti-scammer video by our friend Jim Browning. This video demonstrates another refund scam in progress, with Jim all the while watching from behind the scenes. In this case, we have a situation where somehow a scammer has convinced the victim that he is entitled to some kind of refund and […]
Here we have the finale of Jim Browning’s “Bank Login Scam” video series. In part one he showed from his end one of these scams in action and was successfully able to bait the scammer into installing a remote access tool into their computer giving Jim access to the scammer’s machine. In part two, Jim […]
Now we get to the meat of Jim Browning’s Bank Login Scam video series. In this part, we get to see behind the scenes what is actually going on with the scammers computers, and how this all works. If you haven’t seen and read about Part One, check it out here! In part one, Jim, […]
It’s time for another set of scammer videos from none other than our good friend Jim Browning. Today we have the first in a trio of videos he produced this past summer on scammers going through very.. obtuse, shall we say, methods, to get into a victims bank account, and how he got into their […]
Been a good long while since I did anything regarding tech support scams. Rather than another typical video of a scam in action, I thought it would be fun to share this compilation by YouTuber Jim Browning, certainly one of the most thorough and mature scambaiters, where he shows what he feels were the dumbest […]
Touching on our old friend, the tech support scam, we have some news coming from a well known member of the anti-scammer community, Lewis of Lewis’s Tech. To start with, we have the recent arrest of 4 people who were probably the masterminds behind a few groups: while we all know the calls originate in […]
Another video from Jim Browning today, this one another case of him hunting down the people behind a pop-up based tech support scam. Sure enough, much like the previous tech support scam video I shared, a quick bit of detective work on Jim’s part gets him in touch with a very nervous sounding company owner. […]
Well known in the United States as a general small business services store, with a slight focus on technology such as computers, printers, and the like, Office Depot (and the somewhat recently merged Office Max) have been accused of running an in-store tech support scam. This is an accusation I certainly would believe, not just […]
I meant to get this post out last week, but I got caught up in quite a bit of stuff. Go figure! I also haven’t been posting as much about tech scammers, but it’s somewhat hard to do properly – there are so many videos with so much content that all really kind of is […]
Over the past 25 years, no item on the tech sphere has become as ubiquitous as the personal computer. Be it a Windows based machine, a Mac, or in the rare case of the tech savvy user, a Linux machine, virtually everyone owns at least one traditional machine. Sadly, much like smart phones and tablets, […]
So last night I was watching a live stream by Scammer Revolts where he was doing what he does best – calling in to various known tech support scam services to troll them. One of the things I hate most are tech support scammers (more on that coming later) and as you would expect, they […]
