You are amazing 😎

Yvonne Saucedo

I was almost scammed 2x and I caught myself both times. Microsoft rebate emails. I was not sure how they did it but I figured was software. Thanks so much. I just started patreon acct because of you. 💛👍👍

John

They almost believe their own bullshit.

Lisa Boban

And this is why you get my dollars on Patreon. Not enough just to identify a problem, you developed a solution!

Greg Krimer

You sir are a god! Thank you for doing this.

Jim Browning

I tell them basically. I show them evidence and they can check themselves. They can see the Username description....Often this is set to something like 'VISA secure server' or similar, so they can do a little due diligence.

Robin Hughes

Great work, Jim! Chef’s kiss, as they say! 💕💕💕Question: How does Anydesk know they are a scammer so they can ban them? I must have missed that part. :)

Jeff Nims

So there’s no way for them to get around the ban? I was assuming a VPN would work. What about moving to another location?

Thank you Jim, for fighting the good fight. Pretty amazing that you managed to get the remote services to cooperate and inflict "total destruction" on that call center. 💪 And nice checkmate on scaring that guy at the end. ❤️

KRO

Bravo sir!!! Your determination and diligence has it’s rewards. You’ve been responsible for inspiring other scambaiters, and generally raising awareness to so many of us. To be able to get tech companies vested in the mission is a MAJOR accomplishment. WOWED here. ❤️👍👏🏻👑

Danae Panayiotidou

Amazing! Not only do you find and report them, but also are developing a tool to stop them! 😍😍😍

Joseph Brzezinski

Marita Jeffrey

Thanks as always. Its an honor to support all your hard work. Thank you thank you!!

Terry Moore

How exciting to hear of this newest major accomplishment! You always do such incredible work, no words could ever describe how much your dedication & hard work are appreciated. Thank you!!!

Andrew Strathdee

Hi Jim, Great work as usual! One thought occurs to me. If you, Pierogi and others can identify the names and other identifying information of scammers, is it worth passing this information to the authorities in countries where residents are being scammed tr ensure that these individuals are place on black lists and refused admittance to the country?

BreadBoi96

Hi Jim great video. They sheer apathy they showed when you spoke about conscience was infuriating but maybe you can change your approach? I noticed god idols in their offices in your previous videos and I was wondering if you could learn more about the idols they are worshiping and appeal to their religion and the specific gods they have idols of instead of conscience which may be a concept they dont entirely understand

Val Page

What an incredible breakthrough Jim. Listening to the scammer, he feels no guilt but obviously knows it’s wrong but “it’s easy money”. Thanks a million for everything you continue to do stop this.

Roland Bogush

I take my hat off to you, Jim Browning. The lack of conscience of these scammers is breathtaking. The facilitation of remote robbery is certainly an unintended consequence of real-time global interconnectivity. Keep up the good work!

Paul Martin

Jim Browning for the New Years Honors list!! Sterling work Jim.

Victoria Alpaugh

Brilliantly done! Glad that Anydesk is getting involved..

Linda Rackstraw

Great work Jim. It’s about time these apps we’re accountable for their misuse. It’s been a long time.

Hussam Aldean Mohammed Abbas

Great job Jim. Keep this great work and one day, those scammer will be doomed for ever.

Nick Cress

Fantastic Jim Hopefully the Remote Desktop providers use your API to block these guys.

Paulo

Superb Jim, just superb!! And the API is such a great idea. Wishing you every success with it. When you’re done with this lot (eventually) can we get your help on spam fraudulent emails and how to block them? It’s getting so out of control with scales of abuse and victimization worse than I’ve ever seen.

Roddy Reavis

Thanks again for all you do.

William Ference

The fact he tries so hard to play dumb after getting called out. Guess that's what getting used to defrauding 80+ year-old victims does

Angelo Corona Mazzei

Biggest W of the year so far. Keep em coming!!

Stephanie Humphries

Hello there Jim this really makes my blood boil hearing him calling his victims customers 🙄you can tell he was really afraid. She really thinks you are pranking them but they will get a rude awakening. This is fantastic Jim and I can’t thank you enough my friend. You just keep amazing me with each and every video that you make. Great job 👏🏽 😘

David Rickard

This is great. That API should put some hurt on that whole industry!

Stephanie Humphries

Hello

James

Jim: "I know everything" Too true.

Michele McDermott

“For the entire rest of your life” - I love it! You’re incredible!

Arashai

You’re doing God’s work, Jim! Thank you!

Jason Reigelsperger

This is a really cool update!

Keith Everline

You're my hero!

Richard Hartzell

Jim, thanks for all your work and the good deeds you do!

AnyDesk has been the most proactive about working with scambaiters to investigate and take down scammers. Much respect to their team. (Splashtop has tried too, but their software doesn't get abused as much)
