1
This is a PC of a woman in the UK who's working with scammers in India.
2
They've turned on her webcam to coach her how best to scam people who are usually pensioners.
3
And here she's talking to a victim.
4
Oh, OK, right.
5
So the final conversations at the minute then, before you just got to me, was that you spoke to a mum from Amazon
6
Yep who got through to eventually He told you there'd been some suspicious activities on your Amazon account.
7
You're going to see how a fake Amazon call turns into a scam which rids the victim of their entire life savings.
8
And all this from a friendly sounding local woman.
9
And he contacted Kevin Matthews.
10
who then contacted you And now you're speaking with me, Lynn Owens.
11
Yes, that's exactly as it happened.
12
She says her name is Lynn Owens because she's pretending to be one of the UK's most senior police officers.
13
But of course, she's just pretending in order to steal money.
14
The real Lynn Owens heads up the National Crime Agency.
15
It's a bit like the UK's FBI.
16
Now, the best thing you can do at the moment, as I did say, unfortunately, you did the wrong thing, but we're here to help, okay?
17
Thank you.
18
All right, so don't panic.
19
That's the important thing.
20
But you can see where I'm coming out of this, I'm going to contact my bank if I find something to put it on.
21
Yes, exactly.
22
Yes, there is.
23
Without a doubt.
24
To me, I did the right thing.
25
You did.
26
Bye.
27
Bye.
28
You did the right thing by calling Kevin, calling us, NCA, well, for Amazon calling us, that was the right thing to do.
29
If she seems a bit flustered by all of this, it's because she's learning how to scam and she isn't quite good enough at it just yet.
30
But the other people in India are coaching her through what she has to do
31
and they type notes onto her PC and will also send her text messages.
32
They even sent her the mobile phone she's using.
33
However, with the RBS being involved, that's wrong.
34
because we don't know that there may be somebody, well there is, somebody within RBS communicating with these cyber criminals.
35
The scammers have already established that the victim, whose name is Karen, banks with RBS or Royal Bank of Scotland,
36
and are using this fact to pretend that they're in liaison with her bank.
37
Right.
38
Thank you.
39
Now what you must not do, and you must promise me this, This has to be a secret.
40
You cannot tell your family, your friend, Anybody.
41
because even though you may say innocently something they may then pass innocent information to somebody else.
42
This is all part of the victim grooming process.
43
They don't want her to say anything to anyone just in case she's alerted to the fact that this is a scam.
44
They especially don't want her to talk to anyone in the bank because they're trained to recognise the hallmarks of a scam.
45
Okay, this is happening at all levels.
46
Okay.
47
They're not picking on you personally, they're picking on everybody.
48
No, no. Okay.
49
No, no. Okay.
50
But we need to get We need to catch the thief.
51
Okay?
52
Right.
53
Okay. So...
54
Right, we've done that.
55
So what we need is your help today.
56
in order to get more information, more Proof.
57
that there is fraudulent activities against you.
58
We know there are.
59
But we need...
60
precise proof that this is going on so we can actually arrest
61
the parties involved in the actions
62
and it's this narrative where they're requiring the victim to help catch a thief in the bank
63
which is the crux of this scam
64
She has to sound confident
65
and authoritative in order to get the victim to transfer money to an account owned by the scammers.
66
Thank you.
67
Have a think at the moment now,
68
but when you're ready, what I need you to do will be to make a transfer from your own account, Mm -hmm.
69
Okay.
70
A bogus one, a bogus transfer.
71
which will be authorised from somebody within RBS Thank you at a low level,
72
we'll call it the The local bank level, the local branch level, even if it's online, it doesn't matter.
73
It's a local branch level.
74
While on the phone, Fake Lin would receive bank account details of Money Mules,
75
the people whose bank accounts would be used by the scammers in India to receive funds from the victims.
76
So the details of that employee are then known at the higher levels, who they are that is authorised.
77
your transaction This is not a real transaction.
78
This is Toy Town Transaction.
79
Okay.
80
Does that make sense?
81
This is dummy.
82
Yes, I'm just listening to her.
83
So you're Noddy going into Toy Town Bank. to do a transaction.
84
Okay, you do that and...
85
Big Ears is waiting outside to drive away.
86
Thank you.
87
Mm -hmm.
88
Okay.
89
Well, what I've seen on different things on the TV and read different things about it, what you're suggesting that I do, that's what they do.
90
You know, that's what you're suggesting that I do is to make a transaction and then that's like you, supposedly, into my bank details, you know.
91
Not to do.
92
This is what I'm asking you to do.
93
This is exactly why banks tell people never to transfer money to so -called safe accounts.
94
More than likely, it's exactly this sort of scam.
95
The fake Lin Owens now has to reassure the victim.
96
Right, Meadlin Owens, NCA.
97
Director General.
98
This is what I'm asking you, well, I'm telling you to do this in order that we have
99
foolproof and information on the guilty people who are using your identities.
100
Okay, we know of the three dummy transactions Well, you see, what I've just said to you is,
101
earlier, that I've went back onto my bank and there has been nothing criminal taken out of my bank account.
102
You know, for all those people supposedly making transactions on my bank account, there is nothing out of my bank account.
103
What's out of it, I've taken out myself.
104
Because the victim's already gone to her bank and checked that there are no suspicious transactions, this fake Lynn Owens now has to assure the victim that she's genuine.
105
Listen to how she does this.
106
If you're suspicious about me personally, Karen, While you're on the line now, Uh -huh.
107
You can Google me.
108
What I'm holding, you can Google me.
109
my name Okay.
110
Lynn Owens. And then you'll understand...
111
Did I am who I am?
112
Okay, and your actual, the people within your RBS have actually done the same thing?
113
Okay.
114
Okay.
115
So if you read the Google and you will see and you will, I hope, Understand?
116
What?
117
NCA, National Crime Agency.
118
Obviously, with any phone call, it pays to be sceptical.
119
Anyone can pretend to be anything.
120
And have a read all about me.
121
Uh -huh then you'll know who I am and who I stand for.
122
Okay?
123
Okay then, Lynn.
124
No, no, no. I'm sorry to put you through this, you know, but you've just got to be sure everything is above board. Of course.
125
Ma 'am, this is what we're here for.
126
You know, you don't know who you're speaking to at the end of a phone
127
and you don't know what's going on and you read much about it and it's on the news, it's on everywhere, you know, Martin Lewis, everything, watch your watch and,
128
you know, so, you know, you've got to.
129
I understand, yes, I do.
130
I entirely understand your suspicion.
131
You or where?
132
Of course, yes.
133
So NTA stands for National Crime Agency.
134
At this point the victim explained to fake Lynne that she had to go but she would follow up the next day.
135
Okay?
136
You too, I will do.
137
Thank you.
138
Okay, but you really won't disclose this to anybody.
139
Oh, and I'll speak to you tomorrow.
140
You take care of yourself.
141
And you say after lunch, yes?
142
You do, though.
143
yeah after lunch yeah after lunch after one o 'clock would
144
be fine one okay all right okay you take care now
145
that's lovely all right okay bye for now all the best bye bye bye
146
Fake Lin then picks up her phone so that she can speak to the scammers who've been listening to the entire conversation.
147
I'll also forward wind through some personal details about the victim and will continue the conversation that she has with the scammer.
148
I've impressed on her and she understands that she cannot disclose any of this to anybody.
149
and then we can go on to the next stage.
150
okay okay yeah if you're wondering how i can see the webcam
151
and hear the audio it's because the scammers have control of this woman's pc and i can see the scammers computer
152
but I've got written down now exactly what happened
153
and so i'll write that down actually And I told her that the worst thing she did actually, in the nicest sense, she did the wrong thing with the bank involvement.
154
Banks term this sort of scam as an authorised push payment and is one of the most devastating on its victims.
155
She's not going to talk to them.
156
I've told her, no, she said she's talked to Mr. Matthews, obviously Kevin, and she said, I'm talking with you now.
157
He said to talk to Lynn Owens, that's it.
158
So that's what she's doing.
159
But while she's congratulating herself on having convinced that victim, it gives me a chance to call that victim instead.
160
In the meantime, fake Lynne thinks she has this one in the bag.
161
Thank you.
162
Yes, I won't forget, I promise.
163
All right then.
164
Okay.
165
Well let's see how we get on with this.
166
She's the most concerns, one, that I have to say I've been talking with so far.
167
And she had been trying the same scam numerous times over
168
the course of a week until I managed to get the police involved.
169
Keep everything crossed.
170
Now you be careful driving, please.
171
I'm always telling Kevin to be careful driving, please.
172
As you can hear, she's built up quite a rapport with the scammers.
173
So much so that when the police investigated her, they concluded that she was a victim herself and was naive and vulnerable.
174
You may have your own opinion on the role of this woman in these scams and feel free to comment below.
175
But the police have a wider view of what's going on more than you see here.
176
So I have to leave it that this woman is a victim herself and therefore I have to keep her details blurred.
177
But the reason that I upload these videos is so that people can recognise scams.
178
Having a local accent in no way guarantees that it isn't a scam, as you can see here.
179
However, it was immensely satisfying to call her victims
180
and then listen to the follow -up calls that she made to those people.
181
Hello Kenneth, Fiona here, Fiona Mira and see you.
182
No, it's not.
183
- Tüss, sir.
184
What do you want?
185
I was speaking with you earlier.
186
Yeah, yeah.
187
Did you guys call me back when you've been to the branch?
188
Bent in the place instead, you say?
189
You went to the police?
190
OK.
191
Yeah, I think you are the scammers.
192
We're NCCU, so...
193
I think you're the scammer.
194
Got you marked.
195
- It's you, sir.
196
- No, you're me.
197
- Who is your contact in the police?
198
- You're me right now, I'm telling you.
199
- You don't speak to somebody like that.
200
- You're not somebody, you're a scammer.
201
- You're not a scammer.
202
- You are.
203
So are you not continuing with this case?
204
I am, I am, of course I'm not.
205
And then CCU will have no option other than close this case on you.
206
There's no case because you're a scammer.
207
That's it.
208
You are.
209
British Telecom.
210
British Telecom.
211
He's been trying to rip me off.
212
So I go to the bank, transfer that over, and I've lost that amount of money.
213
What have you got to say for yourself?
214
You tell me the reason for your wish to close.
215
What have you got to say for yourself?
216
I pity you, sir, is what I have to say to you, because you're continuing.
217
You're trying to rip me off, won't you?
218
I do not appreciate being sworn to.
219
Listen, you are trying to rip me off.
220
You close this case.
221
You are assisting cybercriminal activities.
222
so also you are implicating yourself in such a crime.
223
Yes, you are.
224
No, I'm not.
225
You now know about the scam being done on you personally.
226
by people you are the scammers i i believe that you're the scammers have your personal details
227
and are using them you you guys are the scummers
228
each of them phone calls swear at me again also you
229

230
The conversations are all recorded.
231
NCCU.
232
Yes.
233
I think you're a fraud on that part as well.
234
Google it now, right now.
235
Oh yeah, it's probably legit, it's probably their thing, but you're not a part of it.
236
You're acting as a scammer through them.
237
How do you sleep at night? yeah how will you sleep tonight knowing that you are involved in this cyber crime.
238
You are wishing for this pace to be closed, correct?
239
That's your Indian comrades working in Junction with you, probably.
240
I don't know.
241
You do not have a gender bias.
242
You do not have a race bias.
243
Listen.
244
That's all right.
245
Let's continue.
246
Race does not matter, sir.
247
but playing the race card wasn't going to work the scammers genuinely were controlling her from india
248
so who were the people doing all of the controlling Watching FakeLins PC, it was clear that they had a lot of money at their disposal,
249
undoubtedly scanned from other victims.
250
Here they are moving over £30 ,000 into Bitcoin.
251
And they were located where the vast majority of robocalls originate, in Salt Lake Sector 5 in the city of Kolkata in India.
252
I can't yet reveal the identity of the groups involved in India because it's still an ongoing investigation,
253
but I hope that I've provided enough information that action can be taken there.
254
If you're a patron of mine at the right level, you can see additional content which covers some more of this woman's scams.
255

Através de um vídeo que explora as táticas de golpistas e as reações de uma vítima, você aprenderá como identificar fraudes e, ao mesmo tempo, melhorará sua capacidade de entender diferentes sotaques e entonações. Esta prática não apenas enriquecerá seu vocabulário, mas também ajudará a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês, uma habilidade essencial para a comunicação eficaz.

Dicas de Prática
Para maximizar seu aprendizado, recomendamos que você utilize a técnica de shadowing em inglês. Isso envolve escutar atentamente o vídeo e repetir o que ouve imediatamente após. O tom utilizado no vídeo é bastante direto e o ritmo é moderado, o que permite que você acompanhe a fala facilmente. Tente prestar atenção à entonação e à pronúncia, repetindo as falas de forma a capturar a essência do que está sendo dito. Esta prática ajudará você a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e a se sentir mais confiante em situações de prática de conversação em inglês.
Utilize a técnica shadowspeak, onde você não apenas repete as palavras, mas também imita as expressões e emoções dos falantes. Isso pode torná-lo mais consciente da linguagem corporal e da expressão verbal, elementos importantes na conversa em inglês.
Por último, assista ao vídeo mais de uma vez. Na primeira, concentre-se simplesmente em entender o contexto. Nas próximas exibições, use o shadowing para reforçar sua pronúncia. Aprender inglês com YouTube pode ser uma ferramenta poderosa, e essa abordagem prática certamente o ajudará a avançar em sua jornada linguística.
Gramática neste vídeo
As estruturas que o falante mais usa, com as palavras exatas do vídeo:
| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — uma ação que começou antes e continua | has been nothing · who've been listening · I've been talking |
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | They've turned · have already established · we've done |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | being involved · will be authorised · is authorised |
| Orações relativas who / which + oração — informação extra sobre uma pessoa ou coisa | people who are |
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
