Some, once caught and feeling threatened due to legal recourse against them, f.e., might say that they apologize, but how sincere they would be in doing this is a whole other question. If they also are prepared to promptly provide reparations, then this would make their apologies credible, certainly more anyway, but only if they followed through with providing the reparations and quickly so. If it is about $$ and they are not willing or claim that they are not able to provide the reparations, then they would need to be required to make up for this by other means, without it being by robbing other innocent people.

I am glad about the CBC Marketplace trying to stop scammers and educating Canadians, but at the same time victims need to be told to turn off their computer in case the scammer is connected to their computer as well as to call their bank and CC just in case. Why? Because even if they did not send money, as long as they had logged into their online bank while the scammers have been connected to their computer, they install keyloggers and could easily make new CC in the victim's name and details.

Jim Browning is a legend! Love him, he does great work to help people.!

[@angell2341]

I am literally so sad about how they can do this, can be this bold on just lying on the face while scamming, hope they don't get out doing this. I hope this video reaches out to a lot of people and I don't want anyone to be scammed

[@corce209]

Omg. This channel is so precious. There are journalists that help so much and deserve the most credit. Keep going. Thank you because I am learning from this channel here in CANADA. God bless you journalist investigators and thinking about us regular working people. ♥

[@fettersofdromi]

Banks need to stop selling our info.

[@positivevibrations2501]

And also phone companies

[@mclovinlife4018]

It’s gotta be tough being an honest and good Indian citizen living in America or Canada. It’s really gives their country a bad name.

[@dt9327]

Yeah especially the middle man also an Indian. Few bad apples spoiled the entire community. Gorvement should kick them out for good to regain some public trust to the community.

[@MGPL_]

would love to see an anti-scammer Indian community in India, that would be amazing

[@nancydrew1882]

It sure does. I’m Canadian and a lot of people hang up as soon as they hear an Indian accent. It so sad.

[@SilG.123]

​@@MGPL_THE INDIANS IN INDIA DON'T LIKE THESE SCAMMERS, EITHER! I watched a video and it turns out these scammers are looked down on by others in the country.

[@sharon_singh]

I wish we can have more people like Jim Thank you so much Jim for helping vulnerable people

[@64TommyG]

And you can wondering why not all media are doing the same job when they are supposed to do just that! Instead they have stories about celebrities and sports...

[@niethandaveestimada2715]

are you okey no scam sir

[@gagan4127]

Abhinav and Naman are Indian names. Canada maybe try to stop immigration and give justice to Canadians??

[@juliajaysaja556]

GOOOD JOB!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!

[@brendareid9332]

I am an elderly but these thieves will never get me because I refuse to answer my phone if I don't know who is calling. If it is my mother/children calling from a number I don't know they better leave a message and I will immediately return the call. My answering machine say leave a message, you leave one I will delete if I don't know you. My guards is always up enough my phone rings. Thank you guys, God bless. I

[@larrywilliams6030]

You got that right if they don't leave me a message I'll consume it's a scam I have calls 4 or 5 times a day if I don't no the number I'll never answer and I block unavailable numbers they want get me either

[@angelshalo06]

Yeah my mom get a lot of calls daily and she lets the answering machine answer. Most scammer won't leave a message.

[@lyndahoward3785]

How rewarding it would be to be on the side of stopping and nailing these scammers. It’s so pathetic they target elderly people

[@phoenix405]

@jim browning you legend!!!! Thanks for lending your expertise to help Canadians become more educated about these scams!

[@dianakersh3341]

I was getting 15 calls a day. It was making me crazy. Then I turned on my do not disturb except contacts. On my voicemail, I inform the caller if you aren't in my contacts you have to leave a message or a text and I'll respond. It made all the difference.

[@AmateurHour1111]

It’s sad. You can tell some of the victims on the phone are older and they seem so genuinely confused. Very sad.

[@ChristmasDiamond]

I had to do this when my mother was nearly scammed for the second time. If it happens again, Jim Browning is now one of my brothers. See how fast the scammers hang up.

[@kentharris7427]

I had a scammer try to steal one of my rental houses in Katy Texas. The police would do nothing. I tracked down the money mule and sent two heavy dudes to have a little chat with him. Needless to say haven't had a problem with people trying to steal my rental houses since.

[@tyn999]

This is outrageous! Most victims are elderly people! Thankfully you managed to save that last man (he looks so sweet)!

[@CBCPROPAGANDA]

OK let's see if I got this right. . Many of those named seem to be NEW CANADIANS. Many of the addresses were in Mississauga or Brampton. . Hmmm ... I wonder what that implies? .

[@xzygvxzygvv2623]

Jim Browning, my man, you have trascended to another level

[@chicagoturntablism]

Thank you Jim for what you do! Love your videos and your calming voice.

[@desaidushyant]

I don't feel safe for my relatives as well as my family members regardless how they old they are. I feel so stressful after watching this. But I think this is an important to watch. Thanks for doing this. We all not just Canadian but everyone from other countries appreciate it.

[@shaneintegra]

It's sad that random people online are actually doing more about the scammers than the police. It's disgusting

[@smilingassassin24]

Hackers vs Scammers. I love it! I'm 📞 all hackers to please use your talents helping the victims especially the vulnerable elderly.

[@gabrielmurray3553]

A huge shout out to Mr Jim Browning, you're the man, makes me proud yo! ;)

[@pscpat323]

best is to educate all the seniors how to protect themselves

[@julielevesque2668]

Scammers should get life in prison. It is intentional wrong doing.

[@truthmatterbyoladada1462]

I agree with you

[@BishopsKnight_FL]

I agree with you, but unfortunately, the Indian police get a kickback from the scammers, and the American/Canadian law enforcement officers can’t really do anything, because most of the scammers are in foreign countries

[@MariamMariam-ue7vz]

We should the deport any of the ones who were granted Canadian citizenship.

[@kotexconnection3804]

they should execute scammers

[@phengsysouphanthong6314]

I agree with you wholeheartedly, I too got scammed 8,000 by these scumbags.

[@RonG_NYC]

Not all heroes wear capes ♥️♥️♥️ Thank you all for doing what you do.

[@StrifePulse]

One of the best marketplace episodes, more on phone scams please!

[@rajivjagoo5131]

Thx everyone who are putting their effort to stop the scammers....also thx Jim👍

[@richardsttati317]

The law has to be so hard on those scammers … no pity : either jail for life or the electrical chair ..

[@HayBaiLs420]

Omg the second I saw and heard Jim Browning's voice I got so stoked. Good on you Marketplace for not thinking you're above anyone. This was great.

[@nilomyki]

Jim Browning to the rescue.

[@OneBadAssDJ]

Jim Browning is the man. he is a hero in so many ways. Without him fighting these scammers, a lot more people would have lost their life savings.

[@zbyszanna]

I follow Jim Browning and he's a great dude, he does amazing job exposing those people. It's really shame that proper institutions can't do anything about it, it's millions of dollars being stolen from USA, Canada, UK and so on citizens, they should do something about it. Also kudos to that private detective and that guy from India that helps fighting those scammers. Great job guys. Thank you so much!

[@A_Stereotypical_Heretic]

It's crazy how KZbin actively works against the folks trying to prevent these scams.
