Never f*ck with Jim Browning – he has used drones with people to locate them and shut them down. The dude is legendary.

In one of his videos he finds the scammer’s wedding photo while they’re talking and then makes it his desktop background when he gives the scammer remote access. Lmao.

Some people shared their thoughts and tactics regarding scammers.

Seriously. If everyone wasted 15 minutes of their time they would very quickly stop calling.

My wife got the “do you need your ducts cleaned” call. She went for a while saying she had 12 ducks and one goose all in one room. It ended after seven or eight minutes with something along the lines of “NO YOU IDIOT! AIR VENTS! [long chain of unintelligible swearing]”

One time they made the mistake of not using a spoof number. So I called back. I called every few hours for weeks until they ditched the number. Even posted the number on internet so others could call.

u/leggpurnell had this brutal, but understandable take.

“She looks like she feels so…betrayed. Like her privacy has been invaded and her trust taken advantage of.

Good.”
