[@cam-tv5rb]

Lots of Indians use "means" as a filler word. They aren't actually trying to define what it means...they are just using that as a connector word to get to the next thing they need to say because they're interpreting the English in their head. We would say "you know" or "like". Because the person he was talking to hesitated, he thought he needed to interpret what he had said.

[@janruudschutrups9382]

@BartJ583 No, you misunderstand my meaning; he should NOT have said "someone in Mexico", that is my point. Saying someone in Mexico is therefore a Mexican is false. Someone FROM Mexico is a Mexican is the correct phrase here.

These videos make me feel so guilty. Before I knew about these scams, my mom asked me to look up Microsoft support back when Hotmail was a big thing cause she lost her password. I gave her the first number that showed up. She called and they did the classic event viewer trick and at the time I had no idea what it was. They were going to charge her $200 and asked for her credit card. She didn't 100% trust them so she said it's not with her right now. They said they can start to remove the virus/malware now and she can provide it later. She said ok and they said to keep her pc on and call back when she gets the card. We stood there and watched them do a bunch of cmd things that probably weren't doing anything other than showing information. I had a bad feeling about it from the start. My gut told me that something isn't right here. My mom said I don't like this and I said neither do I. We decided to unplug the computer. They called back and we never answered. Thank god we knew something wasn't right otherwise she would of be scammed $200 or more. The reason they make me feel guilty is that although it didn't happen, it was very close and I was the one who gave her the number.

[@mac1991seth]

One of the running patterns in the scamming underworld is often the deliberate usage of bad grammar/punctuation, dodgy names, and otherwise obvious red flags. All this to weed out all the people smart enough to not proceed with the scam. They don't want the people who notice stupid things, they want the elderly, the naive, the uneducated and the careless. On my corporate e-mail I see hundreds of scam and spam messages every day, every now and then accountants drop by to ask if the invoice message we got is legit. A message sent by (supposedly) female sales rep who interchangeably uses male and female pronouns, misspelled company name, misplaced comas and periods. Every now and then you might think the accountants deserve to get hacked for being this stupid, but then again they're in it for the pdf file so they can book it - they never cared about IT, social engineering and how it all can be exploited. So... western name but Indian accent? Whoever falls for that is someone they see most fit to exploit.

It’s been weeks since I found this channel because I was using KZbin for studying to change careers into IT. my beards grown out, my kids barely recognize me anymore. My wife thinks I’m cheating. But I’ve made my way this far back, just checking in to say you’re my damn hero. Your composure to sit and observe instead of always intervening or exposing yourself is legendary. The fact they all scam in similar ways with similar scripts is just insane. Is there a known time period when this started blowing up so much? Or was it always this bad with these scammers since the creation of the World Wide Web?

You Sir are my Hero. Years ago I was scammed into over paying by 3,000 dollars for a computer that was only worth maybe 200 dollars at the time. By the time I found out I was ripped off it was to late and couldn't get my money back. Since that day I've been on a mission for the last 20 years learning how to fix computers and electronics and helping other people not get scammed by fraudulent computer shops by trying to make people pay outrageous amounts for products and services they do not need. Thank You again for All the Good you are doing trying to help people.

@@centho8354 Sadly that's correct, CC protection doesn't kick in below £100 in any circumstance; when I was scammed (not this sort of scam BTW), I only got my money back (£99.95) because trading standards took the crooks to court.

In America here. Few years back my bank card got compromised. My bank (USAA) called me a few minutes after the $1 charge. The group did some kind of a test charge and my bank had me pull cash out, shut the card down, and refunded any questionable transaction. Anyways, it's funny how different it is from country to country.

I used to do tech support for Comcast. We did not connect to a persons computer to fix their problems. We had a set of steps that we walked people through over the phone without remotely accessing the customers computer. The only time we connected with anything, it was to configure a router which was rare. Even then, we never had to use customer info because we were at the head end of the connection. We also never went into customers computers, just worked on the router. It took a lot of tech savvy and communication skills do it.

[@climbatree1257]

Even tho it is a safe way to solve the problems in theory, I bet that it's a pain in the ass in practice. I just imagine having a older person on the line without any tech experience and maybe bad hearing and you have to explain him everything and trust his actions to click everything you told him to. But I guess yall are trained for that and act professionally if the person on the line made a mistake. It still wouldn't be a job for me, cause my patience is not existing xD

Hey Jim, I've been binge watching your videos and love em. I have a quick suggestion. Please thumbs up if you like it guys, so he can see.

This way you literally teach the people who are most liable to get scammed.
