Hi, I work on Chrome and I am a huge Jim Browning fan! Browsers all need some way for developers to debug their web pages and we can’t tell the difference between scammers and developers. While we invest a lot in trying to make our users safer, I personally think there’s always more we can be doing! I don’t want to tip off the scammers but keep keep your eyes open for improvements and consider enabling enhanced safe browsing in Chrome!

Awesome video as always.. Proud to support and spend as much time wasting the scammers time as I can myself.. One question.. I have an elderly family member who occasionally gets such pop-ups on her computer. I have "trained her" not to call anyone but me, and she doesn't do any online banking and doesn't even have a smartphone but so far I have been unable to figure out what she is doing to cause the pop-up to come up. There doesn't seem to be anything strange installed on her computer, and all she does is basically Facebook and youtube. Do these pop-ups come from Facebook Ads that have been hijacked? Is there a safe DNS I can point her to that may reduce the number of times she sees this? I run my own Active directory with DNS at my house and never see them myself, but doing that for her with one PC in the house is impractical.

I work with elderly people in healthcare every day Jim. This is why I support you on Patreon. Even if watching these videos makes my blood boil! 😈

The way they manipulate the victims makes me so sad. Thank you for doing the job that the police really should be doing.

Seamus McGill

Brilliant Jim. As I have said before 'Keep 'er lit'

Great comment, KRO, I've always liked how you think. The term leeches fits this scumb perfectly. This "Bedroom Banker" is truly horrible, because of the practiced voice and terms. He has spent time in Amercia, which makes him very dangerous. Jim is a phenomenal person who can really go after these criminals. Talk to you soon. Bless you.

Roland Bogush

Thank you for doing this, Jim.

Andreas Hedberg

Fantastic work as always, proud to be a Patreon. Happy easter!

Lois Plone

That Home Depot guy was awesome! This is awesome.

Steve Thompson

Thank you Jim for everything you do. A (possibly silly) question - why don't the browser providers remove the 'inspect element' option? Then it would not be possible for scammers to manipulate victims' bank accounts.

KRO

Thank you Jim! I so appreciate, as we all do, your diligence in fighting these leeches. (Truly disgusting inside and out). They morph from one awkward accent to another, changing phone numbers, confusing and frightening good people. Much respect and admiration sir. THANK YOU 🙏🏼

I’m butterballs on Twitter. Mostly cos Mrs Cairns in the shop in Dromara when I was wee, served us butterballs! They were proper tasty 🤤 Never, ever forget how important you are. Never ever forget that what you do saves people, saves their pensions, saves their own view of themselves. Thank you so much for you 🤗

Great vid. It's so frustrating to see those guys just stealing with no morals. I would love to see their face if they would get scammed themselves.

Terry Moore

Thank you doesn't even begin to express how much I appreciate what you do! Once again you show the lengths you go to in trying to reach victims in time. Bless you for being one of the really good guys. ❤️

Kieran Hetzler

Thank you Jim!!!

Sami

Great video again, Jim!

I'll try to see what's up with the Discord... really you should be able to login automatically

Lissanne

Really great work on this scammer. He's very deceptive with his American sounding voice. WOW. Home Depot came through along with the "not for profit group". I never get tired of all you do to prevent scammers from stealing victims money. Thank you so much. Bless you.

Sharon Palmer

Great job as usual, Jim! Kudos to Home Depot as well! Very proud to be one of your Patreon supporters… Happy Easter to you! ⛪🐇☦️

Jeff Keys

Nice work Jim!

Lisa L Hance

I'm happy to hear that Home Depot has a limit on the dollar amount of gift cards they will sell to a customer. More stores should do this.

Elizabeth Calvert

Mr. Browning thank you for all that you do. I am happy to be a supporter and will continue to be. You are doing an amazing job, sir!
