Scam Number: (206)742-4587
Domain Used: It came by Gmail. Since when did Coinbase use G-Mail?
Extra Info: The person hung up, while I gave a fake E-mail address with the NATO Alphabet. My Coinbase was actually hacked in late March 2022. You cannot reach a real Coinbase person on the first ring. If they did pick up on the first ring, I might not have lost $800. My e-mail is also not what is listed in the “To:” either.
Call to Indian scammer in progress…
New Delhi IP 43.231.57.211
Thank you. I hope New Delhi police will use this to arrest everyone at the call center.
has the abuse report filed to them?
I do not know.
ah no, whois just looks up the info, doesn’t report them. it’s up to the user to report
I have emailed the abuse mailbox ([email protected]) to report the IP address. I suggest you report that person to New Delhi Cyber Crime Police online, since you’re the “victim” in this case, and you have the email and all the evidence on your end (I don’t think they’d trust some screenshots I’d send them, if that makes sense).
I sent the e-mail. When you have been at this for a while, you will find out that call centers are usually only shut down when they are put under a lot of pressure from the FBI. I strongly suspect we have a secret military agreement with India. If the United States has a war with China over Taiwan in China’s East, India will open up a front in China’s Southwest. Indians have told me that you cannot even open up a chocolate shop in India, without bribing people to get permits. These scams will not stop during our lifetime, because of action by the Indian government and Indian police. It will only happen with “vigilante action” from scambaiters. A lot of lawyers hate scambaiters. However, when the lawyer’s elderly relative gets scammed, I do not think a paper letter, with a law office letterhead, is going to get the elderly victim’s money back.
What you said makes total sense. I do know that Indian police is under the scammers’ paycheck to keep their silence based on how many times they didn’t even respond to Jim Browning. This reminds me of scammers in China; there’s even more of them than there are in India, but the only difference is that most Chinese scammers don’t know a word of English, so you basically never hear of Chinese scams in the West. Chinese people have a motto that goes néng piàn jiù piàn (if you can cheat, cheat). A Chinese person would actually earn respect in their society if they ripped off a foreigner.
I’m totally with you on the fact that lawyers and cyber sec police do dogshit when it comes to scams like these, and the only real hope is vigilantism. In fact, Narendra Modi can easily crack down on Indian scammers, yet he doesn’t. Why? Because he doesn’t have the capability to do so? Bullshit, it’s because he endorses the income brought to India by scammers, no matter how dirty the scammers’ money is. In fact, BJP’s income comes from shady sources, so why would Modi bite the hands that feed him? In the real world, money talks, and the simple fact that these scams have been going on for years with no one in the Indian gov’t doing dogshit speaks volumes about who the real power in India is. India’s biggest organised crime isn’t some mafia gang or drug trafficking, it’s in fact their scam operations, and that’s the stark reality.
Ever wonder why countries like Italy and Russia don’t do anything against their mafia gangs? It’s the same reason that India does jack shit to stop the scams. The big bosses benefit the most from those scams.
ESPL seems to be be a another name for MNR Broadband Services which, seem to be a local broadband provider, they will probably will not do anything. If possible tag them in their socials any companies hates bad attention.
if possible post in tag them in cyber cell in twitter. They will have a hard time ingnoring that.
I misspoke. I sent the email to the [email protected] . When I went to the police website, the online link to report a crime online was not working. I wonder if it was busy uploading spy software into my PC instead? 
They have phone numbers and emails listed here.
that is just https://www.cybercelldelhi.in/districtcybercell.html
Do be careful. It’s one of the tricks scammers use; they clone police sites so that less people actually report these scams to the actual police (I almost fell for one of these before coz the scammers’ clone site was top hit, above the actual police site - it actually puzzles and irks me to see that Google is lax when it comes to checking who exactly is paying to host their site as top hit and what the site’s for). I would have fallen for it if not for my McAfee (fyi the 3 year membership came free when I bought my laptop - bonus point is it could be shared with 5 other computers, meaning my whole family is protected). Upon closer inspection after I was alerted that it was a shady site, the url didn’t match exactly with the real site, and the page layout was visibly different compared to the actual e-crime site.
McAfee also saved me when I tried downloading a cracked version of a software, and the cracked version would have installed a Trojan on my laptop had I actually installed it with no antivirus running (not to worry though, coz I actually did install a Trojan on my old laptop by accident, although I managed to purge all 50k+ files with Windows Offline Defender).
P.S. I suggest using browserling (a virtual cloud based browser) for testing any links; it’s a foolproof way of testing fishy links without compromising your computer.
Just in case.
