For sure, yeah. It's definitely a passion. I can't stand scammers. That is my little tagline, if you like, on my YouTube channel. I can't stand scammers. And
But this is the thing. Maybe it's something to do with my Irish accent or whatever, but honestly, when it comes to scams and scammers, I'm now devoting my life. But it is for that reason. If you watched what I do, if you listen to the calls that I hear every single day, You can't help not going after these guys.
I build up a bit of a hatred for them, but it probably doesn't come across in the way I make the YouTube videos or my inflections or anything else. But in a lot of ways, that helps me because if I appear calm, if I try to think it through, if I try to rationalize what I'm doing, it gives me in some way a bit of strength
to try and combat these scammers because I like to think I've got a level head when it comes to tracking these guys down. And I think that's why I've been as successful as I have been.
And of course, there's room for that. You know, I encourage everyone to be a formal scam bidder. And if you can waste someone's time who you know is trying to steal money from you, it means they're not stealing money from your parents, grandparents and whatever. So absolutely, there's room for everyone. I encourage everyone to do what I do.
Well, maybe not quite as far as I go because, you know, it could land you in trouble. And, you know, but there's nothing wrong with wasting a scammer's time.
The very first time that I was able to connect to a scammer's computer... was that the scammer actually gave me his user ID and password to connect to him, and then he would switch sides. So there was a period of time where if the scammers were using a bit of remote access software called Teamviewer.
If they were using Teamviewer and the connections were coming from India, Teamviewer noticed that a lot of them were scams and they actually banned the entire country for a period of time.
and during that time they wanted to keep the scams running so what the scammers would do is say well you connect to me and there's a little bit of software internally that says switch sides with partner and then they would connect back to the victim supposedly so i was actually given the scammers username and password so i can connect to their computer
The first time you did that, that must have been such a wild moment. It was unbelievable because what you can do is exactly what the scammers do, which is as soon as you make that connection, you can lock their keyboard and mouse and blacken their screen. So I knew how to do that because I'd seen it so often. So this was like a real gift for me.
So I connected to them, locked them out of their computer, started to download all the files to try and figure out who this was.
Yeah, okay.
I can't see communicate. Hi, are you still there? Hey, you mother... Well, you're the one who's scamming, aren't you? And of course, because their computer is completely locked and black screened, they're not really quite sure what goes on. You know, they maybe hadn't encountered this before. So I knew that my time was probably limited.
So I grabbed as much as I could from, I could download all their files. They weren't seeing any of this. And I was able to work out exactly who they were.
No, and I probably never will, simply because scammers will learn from that. And unfortunately, they watch my videos just like a lot of other people do. And I don't want to reveal that as a secret. But suffice to say... A lot of it is social engineering as opposed to some zero day compromise of the remote access software that I'm using.
So I'm far more of a social engineer than a hacker, if that makes sense.
Oh, hi, Priya.
I'm a ghost. Don't call me an idiot. I'm a ghost.
My name is Ghost. Ghost.
I'm just very good at reading people's thoughts over the phone and I get this aura. I'm like a ghost.
