Working with CBC Marketplace
I've been working with CBC Marketplace recently and at least they release their videos on YouTube. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iii_MtlKOrs
It's a follow-up from excellent 2018 program where they went to Delhi - the doorstep of the scammers. They didn't quite go that far this time, but we did manage to prevent a few Canadian victims from being scammed.
I feature from around the 30 minute mark.
CBC did what I usually can't do... they exposed the unblurred face of the scammers. I'll also do this, but it won't be on YouTube. I'll upload the video of this scammer on a different platform.
I hope you enjoy their program. I'll post my version of one of the scams featured very shortly.

Awesome video jim ❤
You are my hero man!
and mine to ,
Its a pity that law enforcement worldwide just do nothing. Thanks for your work
Been following your YouTube channel for some time. When you popped up on MarketPlace (been a big fan being Canadian, also worked in the building beside CBC head office on Front St. so would see those working on the show off and on going/leaving work)on CBC I felt really good! Thinking the more exposure about scammers the better. 👍 🍻!
Hey Jim. You're doing some really good work. I'm a bit of a newcomer to the community, but was curious. Did you foresee this happening when you started out trying to shed light and fight back against scammers, being asked to share your story and work on places like CBC and getting time in the spotlight from journalists? Would you have preferred staying on the downlow, or is it better that it's being talked about in the open?
Bless you Jim. You are doing such wonderful work. It is heartwarming to see an elderly person saved from these scum. Keep it up!
There are so many gullible people on this planet...that saddens me. What angers me is the police saying on at least two levels that they don't care and don't want to do anything: First by dissolving the fraud unit and then the police officer at the end saying, essentially, that the police can't do anything and it is up to the public to not be victimized. While also not allowing the public to defend themselves against these scammers.
Fantastic piece of evidence gathering Jim!
Well done Jim! For someone originally from this wee neck of the woods, to be doing what you do, makes me so proud. "Keep 'er Lit" as we say here.
Brave stand Mr. Browning, And well appreciated. To expose Yourself to this degree for the purpose of educating potential Victims, shows Your dedication and moral fortitude. Thank You again for being the voice of Scammers nightmares. Well done, Sir!
Watched this with admiration and glee - great teamwork
So glad to be supporting your work Jim! Any idea how to support the private investigator in Canada also mentioned in the program?
I'd actually never heard of him until I saw the program myself. I'll ask the producers.
I have Just finished watching this Thanks to everyone in this programme.
I must be hormonal right now. Near brought me to tears watching Jim stop them scammers <3 absolute legend.
Good to see some victims saved. I want to do more, especially after my disabled sister, who is in a nursing home, just lost all her money last week! Thank you Jim.
How terrible! I've written it into my power of atty that if I enter into a mental decline that my son immediately take charge of my financial affairs so that both our signatures are required for accounts or his alone based on diagnosis. Until then, I've just gotten into the habit of not answering calls I don't know.
Now I know why you have been quite for a bit - you have been busy!
Fantastic stuff Jim- you’re having such a reach and impact now. So proud to be a Patron of yours.
I see you've been very busy! I love all the work you did, keep up the good work!
I did like this show. Jim is a busy man. I wish we could watch the BBC scam interceptors here in the USA.
There is a daily motion link... I'll send this if the BBC link doesnt work.
Absolutely loved it Jim! Hope you enjoyed your time in Toronto...or if you're Canadian...your time working with CBC😅👌
This is shot like a mix between a CSI show and To Catch a Predator. The content was fairly good though. I appreciate Jim's style much more though where you just let the drama speak for itself.
