I like that companies are fighting back against these scams with new authentication practices, but I wonder if this is the wrong way to go about it? We've been trained not to share these codes we receive from SMS to phone agents, are these "authentication" messages going to be clear that they're different and ok to provide, or will it just muddy the waters and cause more people to fall for password reset scams in the future? I've never seen one so I don't know how distinguishable it is from a standard 2fa code.
@jjjacer4 ай бұрын
well as a Spectrum customer, that does give me a bit more hope, but then again it might depend on the agent you get as well, as with a lot of customer service it can be a mixed bag. but then again i think lately many places are training their phone reps to be on the lookout for scams, i know that our helpdesk at the hospital system i work at is very aware of scam callers and if anything feels just a little off we go into full lockdown mode, creating a ticket, saying we will call them back, then calling back on our numbers we have listed, if no response we call the supervisors, then as a precaution if we are still unsure we lock the account and change the password. now if only people would stop clicking phishing email links on their personal accounts, and stop going to random websites from ad's that give the stupid fake microsoft security popups.

They really don't have a way to override approved procedures without going higher up the chain of management. They're locked out of the software that could do the override approvals, if any business is still using it. I suspect that all the procedures are programmed in the software they use and each step must be followed to get to authentic approval. But I'll grant that his patience with the potential scammer is commendable. He doesn't know if he's speaking to some poor slob or to a wicked scammer.

I worked in call centers in the US most of my life. I started at AOL in the 90s, then Gateway computers, MSN Internet, ADP, Capital One, ect. This guy at 11:45 handled it perfectly. Never assume someone is a scammer but stick to policy. "I understand you don't have access to that phone so once you do, give us a call back or you can go into the store with an ID and have your phone number changed." Either they'll get mad and hang up or ask for a supervisor or they'll call back and get someoen else. Just don't let it be you that falls for it. I also worked in retail for AT&T and we'd have people come in the store and try to run scams in person. It was much more rare but twice we had to call the police and have someone arrested for identiy theft and stuff like that.

@@tanookimariorocks were it so easy, my friend. English speaking support reps exist, but they are far up the chain and only get involved when stuff is really messed up. For the average Joe calling to complain, that first line of support acts as a screen to weed out the non-issues from real issues. You’d be surprised with the kinds of issues people come into the store for us to help with, let alone what people may be calling for. Facebook password resets, Google sign-in issues, WhatsApp texting issues, just to name a few. It’s not a pretty solution, nor is it one that us retail workers really appreciate, but it’s seen as the most cost effective solution. My only real advice is if you genuinely need help, go to a retail location. At least that way, if it’s a problem Xfinity genuinely cannot handle, you won’t be waiting 2-3 hours between several reps just to get told a firm “no”.

Spectrum requiring verification is nice but also annoying. Someone used my grandmother's name and email address to setup service in another state. She's 80 and doesn't live in an area serviced by spectrum. When I called to report it they kept asking for verification information but could not understand the situation that whatever verification information they have, isn't her information, I guess the only solution is for her to drive an hour to a spectrum store and close the account in person maybe. Because they used her email address I was able to gain access to the account and kept changing their Wi-Fi SSID to something like 'I am a scammer' or 'I commit identity theft' and blacklisting their devices. The address was in low income housing in Alabama I think.

Still, give them the benefit of the doubt. Don't stigmatise all people with a similar accent. Sadly, it won't make you any better than these scummy scammers. I'm Pakistani, and totally different. We're all human beings, remember that.

I just watched this video by Jim Browning, exposing a scam operation being run from Pakistan, and I can't help but feel a deep sense of shame. It hurts to see a small group of individuals tarnish the reputation of an entire nation, especially when there are so many honest, hardworking people here. I know this doesn't define us, but it’s disheartening to see the harm these scams cause, not just to the victims but also to how the world views us. I genuinely hope more awareness is raised, and that we can stand together to fight against these unethical practices. We can do better, and we must.

I love how you narrate your videos, without all that bling sensationalism that many anti-scammers/scammer-hunters do. Just so calm, relatable, and quite non-judgemental if I might add. And somehow funny as hell! 😂 I live in South Asia myself, in Nepal. There seems to be a lot of such stuff (probably being poorer people with little regulation) in the South Asian region. However, I don't know of similar operations in Nepal though. But there could be, so not saying Nepal is better. If they do, I hope you can help bring them to light and make the world a little bit better. Many people in the region, young ones, fraught with scarce employment opportunities and detached from the victims, might resort to such activities. But it doesn't make it right the least bit. And many realize the errors of their ways and also so the right thing, if made aware and educated about the damage they are causing. Keep up the good work!
