This podcast is like ASMR for me haha
I sent couple of messages to Jim recently, I’m not sure he got them. I’m new.
What do you do if a scammer claims to have a video of you pleasuring yourself & threatens to expose you unless you pay $700.00 I did delete the email but might be able to find in delete folder. Thanks
Whether they have the video means nothing if dont have a way to show it to the people you know, which is impossible. From now on send email scams to me @rescam.org
I’ve noticed a recent trend where people from the eastern world, even just from eastern europe, are impersonating british accents. It’s rampant on youtube.
I wonder if there are any UK based English sounding scammers? Seems like an obvious progression since accent plays a large part in the scammer profile at the moment.
They definitely have scam centers that target UK. Don't think they have the accent though, just Indian accent.
Hi, I’ve seen videos on how the tech support scam works with computers, I’m just wondering how the same scam works with mobile phones / tablets (Apple/Android)? Do they get people to install teamviewer or similar and take control of your device? If so it is a scary thought.
Hi Paul, The scams do work on Android and iOS. I've seen scammers use TeamViewer on both type of device. Sometimes it makes their life easier because they can quickly view the installed apps and will actively seek out any online banking apps. They will quickly direct their victims to use the installed app. Scary indeed!
Very enjoyable podcast, and I too am breathless with anticipation for a Jim B and Kitboga session!
Just listened. I absolutely love it! I can't wait for the Kitboga collab (been waiting patiently for that day and the excitement hasn't died down at all). I love what you do and I have learned so much about these types of scams. I was sent too much money for a wedding dress I was trying to sell, in the form of a suspicious looking check, and I immediately knew it was a refund scam. I went to the bank and they confirmed the check was a fake. So glad I didn't fall for that!
Fantastic awareness raising. I had no idea that you had to sit on the recordings for Panorama for so long! Now that's patience. Also, I liked the call to action at the end, it was clear and I believe anyone who listens to this podcast will feel empowered. Only thing missing (you covered so much), was the gift card approach used by scammers. Thanks for sharing, and catch you in Gotham City! Lol.
