🕑 Added 2021-10-04 10:40:59 +0000 UTCThis article appeared in the Observer newspaper yesterday and features IRLRosie (https://www.youtube.com/c/rosieeeyuh) and me. It has some interesting perspectives on scambaiting.
I will have a little collaboration between Rosie and me very soon!

I just join at 68 and keep getting emails/calls. If I answer & caller wants me to logon to mu laptop, I tell them they are scammers, of course they deny it. Sometimes they call me names, but regardless I hang up on them. Thank you so much for all you do, you are my hero.

This is great news. For those of you who haven't seen Rosie's vids, seek her out for entertaining scambaiting.

Jim it’s not much more that you can can say about you. I admire tf out of you and as you know have been following you since the beginning. I don’t know if you recognize my name even though I’ve been following you like forever lol because you have millions of followers now and I know it’s almost impossible to recognize every single one. I just wanted to remind you that I’m Stephanie Humphries one of your biggest fans and I adore tf out of you ✌🏽💝❤️🩹❤️

Thank you so much Martha. I have to say, I admire the fact that you're scambaiting.. with it without a virtual machine. Please keep it up!
Martha Taylor
I’m a real old lady, 78 years old and a prime target. I wish I had the knowledge to set up a virtual machine but since I don’t - I don’t let them on my computer. I do, however, take their calls and waste their time as long as I can - until they hang up on me or call me some vulgar name. You were the first scambaiter I found a few years ago, there are many now, all with different tactics, doing a great job. You are my number one hero, keep up the good work!

I hear that Jim is going to be on the next episode of the SciManDan podcast (another content creator I support on Patreon).
Never thought I would see Jim and Rosie together 👍
Stacy Ball
Love it!!!!
Gill Bates
Finally, I’m so hype for the video

Indeed. I see what Jim does as much more like "white hat" hacking than any kind of vigilantism or baiting. That said, it's hard to feel too much sympathy with scammers who are the subject of that kind of treatment.
Paula Hernandez
Love it! Scammers are so lured in by Rosie, they won''t hang-up and completely lose their minds with 'Alexa'. Add Jim Browning and Wow, their world's will collide.

To be honest, I don't consider Jim to be a scambaiter. Most scambaiters just waste the scammers' time, and try to do so in a silly or amusing fashion. Jim actually takes action to stop the scammers or interfere with their scams, which I haven't really seen anyone else do before. It's in an entirely different category.
Jim Browning
Veryyy soon :)

Hehe. Well, I like spreading to word about scams by any means possible. The channel doesn't aim to 'humiliate' scammers (there was a comment about this), but rather to do something about the scams. That said, there's no harm in having fun at a scammer's expense... The essence of scambaiting is to waste a scammer's time.

This popped up on my news feed this morning! I started reading it and thought "I wonder if it'll have an interview with Jim Browning?" and lo and behold... :) you're becoming a regular media star!
