Over the past six months, I've had unprecedented access to a scam call centre.

YouTube's policies have meant that I've had to blur certain sections of this video, but if you're a patron of mine, you can access the full uncensored version through Patreon.

This video gives a unique view of how these scams operate and who these scammers really are.

Critical alert from Michael Shirt.

You're looking at the webcam of a scammer named Deva War...

He is currently uploading phone numbers of people who will be his next potential victims.

All of the phone numbers are from people who have previously fallen victim to a pop-up scam, as you can see here.

Knowing that these people are already victims is particularly useful to this group of scammers because they operate a refund scam.

They'll pretend to be a real computer company and make calls like this.

Hi, we are calling you from Microsoft Refund Department.

If you remember,

you have a contract with us for computer support and services unfortunately we are closing the business so

you can give us a call for the refund of the amount you paid to claim your refund please

call us on 877 281 1024 the way that deva and the rest of the people in this call center get their leads is via WhatsApp or directly by email.

Here you can see him using WhatsApp to download a spreadsheet of the most recent victims.

When he has the list of numbers, he will then look at it in a spreadsheet to make sure that it will go into the outbound calling software.

He will remove any duplicates before starting a campaign.

Here they've been emailed a fresh list of numbers.

Once they've downloaded this list, they will start up their VoIP software.

Here they're using voxaccount.com.

And that's a legitimate piece of software which will allow them to make lots of outbound calls.

They will charge up their Vox account with about $100 every few days, and the eight or so agents will sit and wait for inbound calls.

Here you can see the rate of these calls.

The icons at the bottom represent agents who are ready to receive calls, and they're in green.

And anyone actively engaged in the call is coloured amber.

So let's go for a little office tour whenever one of these outbound campaigns are in action.

As you can see, the offices are very small and cramped, and each agent has only a very basic PC on his desk.

They don't use phones and instead use VoIP software.

They will use Xlight for their inbound calls and 3CX for the outbound ones.

A lot of these scammers smoke, so you can imagine the smell in this place.

But this particular PC is a laptop so it can be carried around the office.

So courtesy of this particular scammer we're going to get a little tour of exactly what the office looks like.

Listen carefully to the scams going on in the background.

There is an option.

You see that?

Blackua.

Click on that option.

Download.

Blackua.

Hello?

I have to click on download.

What's come up?

Yes.

Then P as in Peter.

Right, scroll it down the page.

In a minute.

I am showing you team weaver format.

Do you see that?

There is a black flag like the outside.

Then P is in Peter.

Okay, scroll down the page.

Now it's back up on your screen.

A little bit.

I'm going to Peter.

I'm back in office.

Hold on, hold on.

I'm showing you Team Beaver format.

Do you see that?

There's a black flag on the left here.

Now, sir, have a look on the black box and...

What do you see now?

...the receiver lane, receiver band...

Now, underneath the Team Beaver format is a nuclear box download now.

There's on that.

Alright, sir.

Because see, I can't see this screen right now.

And after click on it, ma'am, I'm a little bit right inside on the very top of your computer screen, beside the address bar.

There is any blue-color or black-color down arrow.

Click on that arrow.

Er ch harm her

not infra Yours So as you can see they are quite small offices, one of the smallest groups of scammers I've encountered.

But equally you can also appreciate that this laptop is on a wireless network and it's that wireless network that gives me a good clue as to exactly where these offices are located.

I already knew from the IP address what the approximate location was, they're in Calcutta or Kolkata in India.

But to pinpoint their location it's possible to use additional information and I get this from their wireless access information.

On screen you can see a list of wireless networks.

This PC has connected to those wireless networks and some of them are even active now.

Together with the signal strength and using some Google map data it's possible to pinpoint their location within 150 metres.

So these scammers are close to the centre of Kolkata, to the east of the river and very near the Rippon Residency.

I needed to be as accurate as I could with their location because I wanted to report them to the cyber police in Kolkata.

I couldn't give them a business address because they're not a business, they just all know each other.

So I also wanted to figure out their various names, but I could only do this by listening to some audio, so I listened and watched their scams over the next few weeks and months.

I was particularly keen to identify this group because they did some of the most awful things that I've seen any group do before.

The person on screen is called Christy.

They offered her a refund, but instead they turned on her webcam, threatened her, grabbed pictures of her children, and ultimately tried to delete all of her files.

If you haven't seen this video, there's a link to it in the description below.

So over the next few weeks, I observed this team running the refund scam.

Here they are editing HTML to make it look as if they've transferred money to the victim and will want the money back of course.

They describe themselves as NTS IT Care.

These are another scamming organisation in Kolkata where they get most of their data from.

But there's a rule that I'm going to let you know.

But before going to let you know, I do believe you can see your computer screen.

And if you can see your computer screen ma'am.

So first of all do me a favour, simply sign out from your bank account madam.

The refund scam works by the scammer persuading the victim to log into their bank account.

He will have promised a certain amount but he'll edit the screen so it looks as if too much has been put in.

He will then ask the victim to return the money through a bank transfer or more likely these days some sort of gift card.

When you're going to your bank right again to sending that money exactly so you don't need to tell your bank people that hey I have transferred that money on the first time the money gets cancelled and that's why I ask.

You can watch him on this webcam coaching the victim what to say when she goes into the bank.

100

my god might be i don't know because i live in california you know so by okay suppose if the same people okay

101

tell them hey i want to transfer that money when you tell them that might be they can open your bank account and check that all right but they will not ask you this thing that hey these monies get cancelled because the reason we

102

of course but you can tell them hey i want to transfer again to him because it's required all right second time i do

103

just see on the second no they will not ask you this money get back to you or whatever because the reason we are hiding these things from your bank you bank people they will not able to see that the money get cancelled i'm telling you that all right

104

The refund scam usually requires the victim not to speak to anyone in the bank and this particular scammer has persuaded her that the bank are in on a scam and not to mention any details to anyone in the bank.

105

now just no they can't see that because just see we just see your bank and my bank are connected each

106

other so i had shown you this thing that hey ma'am this has happened but in the computer your bank computer screen will be

107

not sure that the money get cantilever just shows that 29 250 dollar has been created but this thing it will be not shows

108

that money get cancelled understand i'm telling you that because i'm the man of my word and at the same time your bank and my bank they are connected

109

to each other and i will not give the permissions to your bank as well that they can look that the money get cancelled

110

and that's why you come here okay i'm telling you that all this time i was quietly observing their scams in action and i didn't let any of the victims that i observed fall victim to any of the scams.

111

But I did want to disrupt them as much as I possibly could.

112

So when I observed them making contact with a company called Dialer360.com in order to set up a new outbound campaign, I saw an opportunity.

113

What they do is send an outbound message to potential victims about a refund, and this was my opportunity to substitute the audio.

114

Interestingly, I also observed that Dialer 360 were completely complicit in the scam that was going on.

115

In fact, they even wanted the audio which would be played to the victims.

116

They didn't have the expertise themselves, so they drafted in an expert called Hazran who set up Dialer 360 so that this group of scammers were set up correctly to scam the maximum number of victims.

117

Dialer360 didn't exactly care who was buying their software and whenever they asked for a scanned ID card the reply was why no one's ever asked for that before and that seemed perfectly acceptable to Dialer360.

118

They allocated the direct international dial or DID number regardless.

119

So I thought carefully about the best way to disrupt this new campaign.

120

Obviously I couldn't stop them getting new numbers, but what I could do is hopefully get a warning to their potential victims.

121

So I thought I would substitute the audio.

122

This is what their original audio sounded like.

123

Hi, we are calling you from Microsoft Refund Department.

124

If you remember, you have a contract with us for computer support and services.

125

Unfortunately, we are closing the business.

126

So you can give us a call for the refund of the amount you paid to claim your refund.

127

Please call us on 747-212-9887.

128

I repeat 747-212-9887 or press 1 to talk with our executive.

129

Thank you.

130

And I decided to replace it with this.

131

Hello, this is an automated message being sent from scammers from India.

132

They were going to try to scam you by claiming that you would get a refund from your computer maintenance company.

133

However, this is just a scam so that they can access your computer and will try to get money from your bank account.

134

If you ever get a message like this, it is always a scam.

135

Please do not mention that I have changed their message, but if you would like to waste their time, you can speak to these scammers by pressing one on your telephone keypad.

136

And as it turned out, this was the most effective way of getting a message to some of their potential victims.

137

all at the expense of the people making the calls, the scammers themselves.

138

Not only did I keep substituting the audio and only replacing it whenever they were asking for a bit of help from Dialer 360 but I also increased the rate of these calls to drain their money as quickly as I possibly could.

139

Although this footage is sped up, I watched overnight as I drained all of their money.

140

The total consumption is the cost in dollars.

141

and every cent which is being consumed means a message is getting to one of their prospective victims.

142

All very satisfying.

143

And all this time they couldn't work out why they weren't getting the expected volume of calls.

144

From their chat logs it was quite obvious to them that they were having some sort of problem but couldn't pinpoint it.

145

Eventually when I drained all of their money over several weeks they figured out there must have been some sort of compromise and finally they twigged that there was something going on with their audio.

146

But I still had very blurry photographs through a webcam of the people involved so I was thrilled whenever Deva uploaded his wedding photographs to the internet and I was able to get a lot clearer pictures of his workmates.

147

So although I don't know who's who here I do know there's an Amit, there's a Rizwan, there's a TUSIF and there's a Waseem.

148

I did email the Kolkata Cyber Police in the hope that they would do something.

149

I sent them a link to the unblurred version of this video but I've had absolutely nothing back from them.

150

I can only assume they're not going to do anything.

151

Therefore I'm left with posting this to YouTube and you'll also find a link in the description to the unblurred version which is on d.tube.

152

If I hear back from the police I'll be sure to post an update but the first people who get to know are my patrons and I thank them for sponsoring me.

153

If you wish to become a patron, there's a link here and I'm also on Twitter at JimBrowning11.

154

Again, thank you for watching.

FOR YOU

背景與上下文

在過去的六個月裡，我獲得了對一個詐騙電話中心的前所未有的訪問許可權。這個影片提供瞭如何運作這些詐騙的獨特視角，以及這些詐騙者的真實面貌。影片中的主講者通過觀察一位名為Deva War的詐騙者，揭示了他們從已經受害的人的身上獲取新的目標，從而發動退款騙局。這種騙局往往假冒真實的計算機公司，通過電話聯絡我們，聲稱可以為已支付的費用進行退款。這一過程不僅展示了詐騙者的工作環境，還突顯了他們如何運用技術來完成犯罪。瞭解此類對話和場景能幫助英語學習者提升聽力和口語能力。

逐步影子跟讀指南

要有效提升你的英語發音和口語能力，可以通過以下步驟運用英語影子跟讀方法：首先，選擇影片中的對話部分，確保你能夠聽清楚每個單詞和語調。接下來，反覆聆聽並模仿說話者的語音和語調。在此過程中，務必注意音節的強弱和連讀的現象。可以在耳機中播放音訊，用“shadow speak”技巧跟讀，從而達到提高英語發音的效果。

你也可以嘗試將影片暫停，在某個特定句子後的時刻進行重複。在掌握基本發音後，逐漸嘗試提高跟讀的速度，努力達到與原音一致。這個過程不僅有助於提高你的口音，還能增強自信心，讓你的英語聽說能力更加流利。

總而言之，通過這種方式，結合影片的實際對話場景，你能在學習中獲得真實的英語使用體驗，同時也能熟悉詐騙性語言的構造，以幫助你更好地應對類似情境。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	I've had · have meant · they've been emailed
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	they've been emailed · is coloured · can be carried
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	people who will · people who have · software which will

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
