However, this does not stop these assholes. They’re criminals and I still get a lot of calls from Amazon scammers and other scumbags. I insult them with Hindi slurs and waste their time.

[@XMysticHerox]

There have been quite a few raids. The problem tends to be the local police. The main issue actually is the indian job market not providing nearly enough employment compared to the number of people graduating in comp sci courses and similar education. While the grand majority doesn't go into scamming the temptation is significant. I fear that without fixing this underlying issue this industry will continue to thrive even if you get the indian police on board and well funded.

'What a shame'? It's theft, pure and simple. Call it for what it is. The Muslims cut the hands of people who steal. The Hindus should do the same.

I love this video!!!! Everyone I watch on KZbin has teamed up and are working together to stop these fools.

Someone needs to get a billboard with All the scammers Photos and have it posted all over as well as their local Indian TV stations so that everyone can see who they are. I would throw in posting their photos on instagram, facebook etc. Embarrassment and public shame

where there's one roach, you'll find 1m more. There's always more lurking.

His father must be well aware of this. He must be a part of this scam.

If someone tricks you into giving them your bank details you should contact your bank right away. Thanks for sharing.

[@australiamyway]

It isn’t done that way. Watch Jim browning. They do it via very devious means. Many people don’t know they are even scammed until it is to late

[@frankdsouza2425]

​@@australiamyway TOO be sure.

[@amelapapan6625]

Please catch these scammers as soon as possible. It almost happened to me. So sorry for that lady who was left devastated and bankrupted. There is a God and she will recover. Thank you for the videos. Keep the public informed. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
