Namaste
I used to think that Indians couldn't be scammed that they were just so street smart from having grown up here in India at least
That's what I've seen from all my Indian friends
but as it turns out had been investigating so many hindi scams and
So many Indians are being scammed here in India and nothing or not much is being done about it, to be honest
You might just get laughed at by the police. If you go to the police station and told them you got scammed for like
1500 rupees or ten thousand rupees, you know and the police don't have the
Mechanisms to or the expertise to investigate these scams. Okay, so it's up to us to educate each other about these scams
That is the only thing that's gonna- that's gonna stop this
So today we're gonna go over a scam which is based on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
The Indian version of this TV show it's called Kaun Banega Crorepati
Indians are literally getting phone calls saying they have 125 lakhs
Congratulations, but is it true?
What do you think? Have a listen to this call and then I'm gonna expose where the scam is coming from, how they're laundering the
money and I've got a very fine example of scammer revenge from one of my subscribers
Now have a listen to how this scam progresses.
Within 1 week I had received three separate cool recordings from three separate
Subscribers that shows how widespread this scam is it is huge right now
Everybody's being caught and some people have lost a lot of money
some people had actually paid that fee to get their money one guy lost five lakh
another person lost seventy thousand rupees and
He killed himself actually and I felt horrible about this happening to people so that's why I do what I do
That's why educate people about scams. I don't want it to happen to you guys. I don't want you guys to go through this
Okay
and we can only stop scams by sharing this video by sharing these videos and
Educating other people. now this scam did even more
This video I'm going to show you as -. This is what they're sending people to convince them.
Did you hear that name in there Rana Pratap Singh?
I googled this and it turns out the police have busted the scam back in March
They caught three Bihari men running the scam out of Chandni Chowk in New Delhi
But clearly they haven't busted the kingpin because this Rana Pratap Singh is still making these calls today
This game is still going on under the same person's name
So I digged a bit further and I found that
The police are saying this Rana Pratap Singh is located and running the scam from Islamabad in
Pakistan now I
kind of find it a bit hard to believe that someone in Pakistan is able to organise call centers of people and
People to take the money into their bank accounts and then get it transferred to him in Pakistan
I just find it a bit hard to believe but the police are saying they've done their investigation and the guys located in Pakistan
I'm not so sure
I think it could be an Indian who's you know?
Pretending to be in Pakistan because it just makes the investigation so much harder if everybody thinks he's in Pakistan
But the police have done their investigation and this thing's in Pakistan. So let's go with that
And so when you pay that fee you pay that fee into an Indian bank account
I traced one back to Horta Pradesh and then the police are saying this money gets transferred through hawala
transactions to
Pakistan to run up a top Singh in this particular case now what our hawala
Transactions I wanted to know this to say how are they getting money to Pakistan Wow
It's incredible this hawala transaction system. A Halwala a transaction is a legal way of transferring money between two countries
It's an underground banking system basically, and it's all based on trust
So if I want to send 10,000 rupees to my friend in Karachi
I go find a hollow wallet out probably in Chandni Chowk and I say gotta send 10 thousand rupees to this guy
And so he takes a 0.5% transaction charge from me and then he calls up his friend in Karachi, another halwaladar
And he says you got to give ten thousand rupees to this guy when he comes so my friend goes and picks up the
the ten thousand rupees from this hawaladar in Karachi. So great transactions done
But now there is a dept, okay
So the Indian hawaladar, he still owes the guy in Karachi ten thousand rupees
They keep a ledger no money actually changes hands
Okay, it's just literally a phone call now when somebody in Karachi wants to seen ten thousand rupees to India
That's when the dept gets paid back from the Indian halwaladar. His friend in Karachi calls him and
He gives the ten thousand rupees to this guy in India. So it's just incredible
It's an informal banking system and it's used for like tax avoidance
Terror financing and paying bribes because there's no record. It's totally an anonymous way to transfer money
So this game has become so popular now that there are so many different scam call centres running the scam here in India
You've got Indians making the phone calls and in taking that scam feat into their bank accounts
Then it gets transferred to whoever the boss is running the call centre basically
So now that you know how the scam works
I want to show you a very fine use of the Hindi language from one of my subscribers
He is gonna blast
these scammers
Now if you want to be more polite- Indians are very polite, you can use nahi chahiye ji
Okay, use this on those -
And the merch is coming. This is just one of three designs, but we've had problems because of COVID-19
