Making life hell for chat scammers
🕑 Added 2020-04-26 15:59:22 +0000 UTCEarly access Patron version!
This group of scammers have set up 10 fake websites and have managed to get these websites to list high up on Google's search engine thanks to some black-hat SEO operations.
But unusually, they also have online chat enabled on these websites. That gave me an idea to flood them with junk chats and I was able to record their reactions... I think it has pretty hilarious results.
Enjoy this one and thank you again for all your support!

Flood calling is my favourite <3

Hi Jim, I just wanna let you know that it's best, if possible, not to hyperlink those URLs back to their website and just advice people just copy and paste those links on their browsers. This helps in a pretty big way for their SEO, especially if some of those websites are still in operation. I think people can also email their hosting providers usually found in who.is registry details or maybe even iCANN about these domain abuse issues.

Hey. Can I ask what kind of VPN you use?
printersupports.online is still online, unfortunately. Didn't check the other sites. EDIT: Most of the pages are still online. Requesting their hosting provider(s) to take them down is highly unlikely to be answered, right?
I'm f**king in for the next one mate. Nothing but hate for these scammers. Got VPN and VM ready. Lets go to war :)
rip idiots Cause: The guy who shuts down call centers Edit check out there site now. (Its been destroyed)

Next time... i really need to pay attention to my discord - i would have loved to join in :D

Typical idiots......
Hey Jim! Thanks for inviting us to help out, it was a blast haha. The discord can be a bit hard to keep up with so the notification to everyone helped. I work in infosec, and have had to help so many people recover from scammers. There really is few things that annoy me more than their methodologies. Happy to help in the future!

I just googled "ugly fish"
Mostafa
Can someone remind me the name of the animal Jim used as the profile pic?
That was wonderful stuff! Haven't laughed so much for ages! Keep doing what you're doing, Jim and nail the blighters!
That was a lot of fun, Jim. Glad to do my part in bringing down a few scammers. Don’t hesitate to Discord again if you need another flood. Thanks for all you do!
Jim Browning
Ah ok... I'm trying to get someone to translate the whole thing. Would you be able to help with this? I'm after the timestamps and Hindi->English translation.
Jim Browning
I recruited a few people who were in the Discord chat... if there's another opportunity, it will probably also be within Discord. I'll not often be able to give a lot of advance notice.

Oh man, I missed opportunity to mess with scammer online with the legend Jim Browning?! I need to check on your patreon page more often
One of them was heard saying it could be a rival tech support disrupting their operation.

I wish I'd been able to help out with this. So much fun.
Olivias picture has changed to a different picture. They wont reply to my chat either :(
Laurie Soper
I laughed out loud. Thanks, Jim! Another GEM!!
Laurie Soper
Priceless. "Are you single?" "I cannot print my porn."
I've heard of DDOS attacks. We now have ChatDOS.
That was brilliant Jim and a nice way to start the week with a good laugh :)

Thanks for the laughs, some of the chat messages were just hilarious!!
Jim Browning
If I happen across these sort of scammers again, I have a new tool in the armory... a typo generator (courtesy of Duffy). It does what it says on the tin :)
Jim Browning
Thanks Rosemary - this was an absolute hoot :)
Jim Browning
Yes - there were a lot of people who took pleasure in that little bit of pain. There are some very inventive chatters out there :)
Jim Browning
And it was pretty early in the day too... that clock showed their local time... 3:45pm :)
Mario Cardiel
That was hilarious!
Joseph Brzezinski
This was one of your best videos... I would love to help out in the future, I got nothing better to do, especially now...
Great work as usual. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to their frustration filled comments to each other. More than once they talked about calling it a night and taking a nap. This suggests to me that the manager was not present and that they often sleep on the job. LOL

Take a drink every time you hear the word 'benchod'
Their pain feels like sweet sweet music. One more instance of necessary scumbag torture. May their pain never end.
Tim Ternstrom
really proud to be one of your supporters
andy b
Bloody wonderful. thx.
This was so much fun!!! So glad to be able to join and be part of this and see all these people come together to fight this and have some fun along the way. Thanks Jim, as always!
Jim, you. are the best!
Paula Hernandez
Thanks Jim, I haven't laughed this much in a while. The world needs you!

Ooga wants to know olivias location
Really great video Jim. The inefficency of their copy paste notepad method is staggering.
Jim Browning
Thanks Shayn... hopefully it brightens up a Sunday in lockdown!
Jim Browning
Thanks Linda - the support is brilliant. It was nice to involve a few patrons directly with this one.
Jim Browning
Yeah - I'll not go too fancy, but a revamp in a similar style is probably in order!
Jim Browning
Thanks Ian - it was a bit a laugh too though. Although I have names and addresses of these scammers, I think the police are a little too busy to worry about this small group at the moment. I think this video was time well spent!
Jim Browning
Thanks Sh66lars - there's a growing community here and it was nice to have some patrons support me directly with that last video.
Jim Browning
It's staggering to me... the last lot of videos definitely helped, but it means the word will spread - always a good thing. Keep safe!
Jim Browning
Cool - thanks Doug!
Jim Browning
Thank you Robert (as always)... Hopefully we can chat on the next discord chat - I think you're all set up now?
Alice Murray
Approaching a million! Congratulations, Jim. And to each subscriber, as well, because as we become educated about this problem, we are able to educate our friends, families, communities...
Doug Betts
I enjoyed watching that Jim, well done!
ROBERT CROMER
nice work Jim, I know you are humble when people say you are the man. But the work you do is top shelf, I am glad to donate to your cause and I hope others donate as well, if they can......Robert
sh66lars
Thanks to you a lot of scams can be stopped, its something great and more people should catch onto such trains to support people like you. Thanks for your work. Glad to be a patreon member
Nice work !
This was great. Glad to have been a part of it. As for feedback for your Channel: I appreciate your minimalist look and feel. If you could keep that, I think it would suit you best.
So proud to be a Jim Browning supporter! You are amazing! Thanks for all you do!
Jim Browning
Yes - they tend to be monthly - keep your eyes on the Patron feed!
any more of those Live chat with Gold+ Patrons jim? i might have missed it XD
Fantastic!
Jim Browning
Cool - I think there will be a small army of people doing exactly the same. You can almost hear their desperation from here. Such a shame because it's not easy getting your website to rank high up the search results.
Jim Browning
Thanks Rowan - much appreciated.
Jim Browning
Thanks Finlandster.... it was a lot of fun doing this one. I've left out their names... just in case they start up again. If they do, the Delhi police will have a few addresses to visit too!
Solid work, Jim. I'm already on those websites talking gibberish with their "Live Customer Support"
Jim Browning
Thanks Burning.... I'll add the translation to the YT version, but I think you get the gist from their conversation :)
Jim Browning
The slow torture is also good fun :)
Great video mate, as per usual. I'm guessing you've got it all under control, but if you ever need any info/assistance out of Perth, Australia, let me know.
finlandster
Nice!
Seeing a new upload from you always makes my day :)
I used Tawto for my legitimate website and it's a shame to see them use something I love like this.
Allixandra
Exactly why I am a patron. Thanks Jim!
Jim Browning
Thank you Ryan. Good to have you here. Keep safe!
Jim Browning
Thanks Robert! Much appreciated.
Jim Browning
Thanks Antonia. Someone is working on the Hindi translations for me, but I think you can guess what they're saying without the translations :)
Jim Browning
Always good to do this... Kali has a windows 'theme' if you want to mess with them :)
Alice Alysia
I have the strangest urge to set up a linux VM with a theme that makes it look like windows and then get these guys to call me to *really* mess with them
Good Work Jim. keep it up
Antonia Fourie
A good laugh! Thank you for the video! :)
