Do you Have What it Takes?

Phone scams are a real business and a lot of people are getting rich. Not just the scammers, but the YouTubers who help expose them.

Most of the stunts you see below were pulled off using nothing other than the WinSpy Industrial Keylogger Creator and dragging the capsule to the scammers desktop when they initiate the TeamViewer Session.

THE POP-UP INFECTION SCAM:

While browsing, a pop-up appears on your display notifying you that you have been infected with a virus. The pop-up implores you to call the toll free number. The scammers will ask you for the error ID code. You can read it to them or sing Do Re Mi because the next step is always the same. To fix the error they will need you to access their computer using Teamviewer or some other remote desktop software. Once inside they will run a number of bogus tests and do some snooping. It always ends the same way. Your computer is infected by a virus and multiple hackers are using it to steal identities, launch cyber attacks and club baby seals. In conclusion they will offer to fix the system for a price and provide a warranty for quite a bit more. Typically $75.00 for the fix, and $350.00 for the warranty. For this scam they usually use a payment gateway as opposed to the IRS scam, because they do in fact provide a service, it’s just not a good one. You contacted them as opposed to them contacting you and charges can be difficult to contest. How YouTubers are Making a Fortune Exposing These Scammers The formula is simple: Install a virtual machine desktop

Call the number

Grant the scammer access

Deploy a keylogger once connected

Make a Video

Get Rich And here’s how it works. You install a virtual machine such as Oracle Virtual Box or any other free virtual environment app. Using Teamviewer the scammer accesses the virtual environment without knowing that its virtual. They either run their fake scans or try to convince you to log into your bank account. While that’s happening the scambaiter will typically click the file transfer button and deploy the keylogger on the scammers own desktop. Meanwhile, the scammer is very busy looking at your own desktop and trying hard to convince you of the situations severity. This works because remote desktop software is a two way street. They have access to your system and you have access to theirs. Except, they don’t know your running in a virtual environment, and everything they are sorting through is eye candy.

So, Where’s the Money?

You’re looking at it. Youtuber Scammer Revolts who has over 450k subs only had about 10k subs last year at this time. Look at those views. Some of those videos have generated over $10K a piece.

CHANNEL STATS FROM SOCIAL BLADE:

Most Youtubers consider 100K subscribers to be a significant milestone. At that point you can quit your job and move to Thailand as long as you keep producing videos. Scammer Revolts however has, in a period of 3 years set himself up for retirement at a yacht club in Monaco.

HE’S NOT THE ONLY ONE

It seems people enjoy watching scammers get scammed. Find any video about scamming scammers in YouTube that’s more than a few months old and you’ll see a goldmine.

Consider that on average a 10 minute video with a million views grosses $2K and nets the Youtuber $1K U.S.D and you’ll realize the scammers are the ones getting ripped off.

To be fair, a good deal of their content can’t be monetized without heavy editing. Simply swearing in a video can de-monitize it, on the other hand, these are some of the longest videos on YouTube and normally go well beyond the average of ten minutes. That’s a lot of room ads and every video and every video I checked by hand on Scammer Revolts channel was monetized.

SCAMMERS ARE EASY TO FIND

Like Realtors, you will have no problem finding these people. Just using a simple footprint from their virus template I was able to come across some interesting results:

Take a Look at What this YouTuber did:

YouTuber Jim Browning managed to install a keylogger with webcam and microphone access on his scammer and made good sport of destroying their business for 6 months. Take a look at this video and you’ll get an idea of the endless possibilities. He not only changed their voicemail to notify the intended victims they were being scammed, he even refunded some of their money without the scammers realizing it.



And if That’s Not Enough . . .

Another YouTuber who live streams his scam baiting antics created scammer bingo cards for his audience. The first viewer who could complete a row using the scammers catch phrases and processes won a prize.



You Want to Retire in 3 Years on a Yacht in Monaco?

Fear not young Padawan, others have come before you and built the ultimate scam baiting tool. Scammer Bingo for Android, a place where you learn to manipulate the scammer to your will.

After that, you’re going to need some tools:

The Scam Baiters Toolkit

PHONE SPOOFER TEAMVIEWER VIRTUAL MACHINE INDUSTRIAL KEYLOGGER GOOD DIALOGUE VOICE CHANGER SCREEN RECORDER VIDEO CAMERA

The phone spoofer allows you to change your VOIP number, so scammers wont blacklist you, while the voice changer is optional and provides extra discretion if not good humor.

The keylogger isn’t just any keylogger. It is a keylogger that can be used multiple times and installed on multiple machines. It allows for access to the webcam, files, microphone and even allows for the delivery of payloads or the removal of them via FTP. The webcam can even be livestreamed if you’ve ever wanted to Twitch a scammer’s call center.

This is ostensibly what Jim Browning used to hack into the scam center and literally destroy their operation. It works because while the scammer is connecting to you via TeamViewer, they are unable to see their own desktop.

This allows you to drag the capsule over and execute it on their system, similar to how KitBongo erases their files, you will take your time installing the keylogger as well.

What makes it special is that you can manage up to 10 remote computers with a single license, and you can view all the managed scammer’s computers in a single window. You can also remove it remotely at anytime, and reinstall on a different PC. This is an industrial keylogger, not offered to the general public, yet its been made user-friendly enough for most people to operate with ease.

The virtual machine allows the scammer to pretty much have his way with your computer with no risk of real damage and the keylogger allows you access to the scammers computer.

So, Who Falls for This Stuff?

With all this exposure and the rise of scam baiters you may wonder, “who exactly is falling for these scams?”. The answer is, quite a few people. Many a 70 year olds drive to Walmart everyday to buy iTunes and Google Play gift cards. Quite a few of these seniors even appreciate the service and don’t realize they’ve been scammed.

Some scambaiters even contact these victims to let them know and quite often are reprimanded. So call center scamming isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Will you Accept the Challenge?

What you’ll need are two laptops sitting side-by-side, This is the perfect way to practice. Role play both sides of the interaction, see what you can and can’t get a way with in Teamviewer. Perform the scammers processes as well as your own and practice transferring the file while the scammer is in your system tree typing his root message. Learn to provide Windows exemptions quickly and become a true scambaiting master. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, we have a Windows keylogger that includes 10 installations for $40 bucks that might come in handy as well.

When you are ready, turn on the video camera and call the number. Until then here are some YouTubers that are making the big bucks while making the world a better place at the same time.

Popular Scambaiting Youtubers

Kitboga:

Youtuber Kitboga somehow manages to play video games and scammers at the same time. Sometimes he even bridges the phone calls so that two scammers are on the phone at the same time, and just listens to them fight with eachother over which one has the right to rip you off while he plays Grand Theft Auto and lets the scammers create his content for him. His focus is on entertaining the viewers, and that has served him well as his channel is only two years old and he’s close to pushing $1K per day.



Jim Browning:

YouTuber Jim is more about infiltrating the scammers and exposing the operation, and less about entertaining. He seems to be able to install keyloggers on the scammers computers with impunity and he gets his kicks out of using his access to spoil there day-to-day operations. He doesn’t make videos very often, but the ones he does make have far more useful content than the guys who upload daily. He also has a great tutorial on creating a really stealthy virtual machine. Although he doesn’t publish as much as other scambaiters, he looks like he’s doing pretty well based on his average monthly views.



Trilogy Media:

YouTubers Ashton and . . . Vladimir? seem to be focused on wasting the scammers time and having fun with them without their knowledge. They had one particularly compelling episode where they changed a young call scammers life by helping him get out of the business by raising over $6K for him to start his own endeavor. Ashton’s arrogance makes the show a bit hard to swallow, but there is no doubt they are on their way to success. They recently raised over $60K on Kickstarter to produce their own show – not bad for a 2 year old channel.
