The Inside Man: The SSA Scam

The most devastating thing for a scammer isn't me viewing their computers; it's someone pretending to be a scammer, but is really working against scammers. Here, Jaani and Max help to bring down an SSA scam in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India.

So no, the police will not protect these people if the owners of these businesses simply pay them off and many of them will easily hurt and kill people who threaten to or DO expose or harm their precious business.

Great video, but I really don’t think you should’ve showed Jaani’s face or even his name for that matter. There’s a lot of money involved in the scam industry, and those people show themselves to not care about the next on a daily basis, which can make them pretty dangerous. I think exposing him like this, even if he may have agreed to it, is putting his life at risk for no reason, as the video would’ve been just as good if you hadn’t shown him.

Depending the region, SSA offices are currently appointment- only, so you'll have to call the administrative line (which will be on the letter sent to them) or the national information line to segue to their branch office for phone-service or to make contact and schedule an appointment (whether in person or on the phone is up to the SSA office/ staff).

Fantastic, Jim. Bless you for your work. Might I suggest, when they ask what they should do if the scammers call back, the thing to stress is, "DO NOT speak with them. Just HANG UP."
