@@JimBrowning I find your videos highly educational and helpful. I've never fallen victim to this but I can spot scams more easily. I've shared your videos before. I learned about scambaiting because of you and I sleep better at night knowing people like you do this. Telling you to not share the videos because more scammers will see them than potential victims is like saying you shouldn't warn people about the dangers of kidnapping because more kidnappers will see it than potential victims....its almost is like Transferwise knows their customers are scammers and exposing them hurts their bottom line. If it were a company like PayPal they'd probably want their customers to at least pretend-believe they care about fraud. Question, off topic: You obviously share what you capture, but how many do you miss in the course of a day/week/month?

The argument given you that posting this video might provide a tutorial to scammers shows a complete lack of understanding about security and fraud prevention.

It's the scammers who don't want their methods shown.

[@beitie]

Let's face facts here. The only reason they don't want Jim posting these videos is beacuse that's how they make their money too. All these companies are working with each other.

[@terryhinch]

Their real reason is "it would hurt our business if people associated us with these scams and we are choosing not to do anything to really stop them because we can profit off them while pleading to be an innocent third party." If they wanted to stop them, they could.

[@swiftrealm]

Exactly. They take home cold hard cash via commission, namely the 30 GBP for an 8k transfer. That scales very nicely and they don't care if it's legit or not, because when is a scam, the credit card company/bank is going to be the one who has to deal with the issue.

[@hexyoutubeaccount]

Yep. There’s no secret special method that’s going to net you more victims. In fact I’ve heard from some people that the stupider the scam, the better, because then only truly un-knowing people will fall for it, so you’re not wasting your time scamming people who will figure it out halfway through. Therefore the idea that you’re somehow creating “tutorials” for scammers seems ridiculous to me. Knowledge is power. And your videos have given me more knowledge and proof to help inform the people around me who might be susceptible to these scams. Keep at it Jim!

Hey Jim, These videos might not reach potential victims, but as I find computers interesting I spread the word with information you give me to prevent actual potential victims by informing them about how these scammers act. I seriously do think these videos help. If one is determined to scam, they will find a way regardless. Let it be your content or one of the other thousands of sources. Keep it up!

Elderly people. My 75 year old dad asked me to remove Flight Simulator 2004 out of my mom's pc because, even after turning the pc off and on again for days it was just "weighting down on the pc and freezing it". This happened last month. One thing people got used to here in Brazil as well is the old idea that "Videogames damage TVs", and its the kind of stuff that the elderlies are bound to believe, since they don't have much idea of how a computer really works.

Thanks for the video. They say this will not reach the victims, and that is only partially right. We who watch this share the knowledge about scammers to family and friends, tech savvy or not. Thanks to you I now know about what not to do, and after talking about it to my aunt, she was able to avoid a scam after remembering the info I told here. So not all victims will not watch this videos, but people related to them probably will. They already know how to scam, it's the victims who don't know.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

@@merineyit Complete exposure. Contaminate their world (victims) with a complete and comprehensible immersion in their processes to render them useless and pointless.

It doesnt seem particularly arrogant to me. perhaps a little stand-offish. But I'd be MORE concerned if they started giving out information on their anti-scam methods just because someone contacted them. That really shouldnt be open to the public. If they wanted the video down for their own benefit, they could have just threatened him with legal action for attempting to smear their name. all they did was give a warning, that isn't that unreasonable. It really isn't their fault if gullible people believe "we blacked out your screen because of the radiance" and "I'm sending you a code, what is that code please sir?" TransferWise has some standard checks in place, ID documents, SMS verification. What more do you exactly expect? Bloodsamples?
