Infiltrating BANK SCAMMERS

From what I can gather from @JimBrowning11’s latest video, the company was caught deceiving British residents under the guise of Barclays Bank whilst operating out of the 6th floor of the Levana Cyber Heights building at Kathauta Chauraha Rd, Vijaipur Colony, Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh 226016, India.

The scammers will issue robocalls under the guise of “Bank Security Department,” falsely claiming two charges were made on the recipients’ card:

• £300 ($380.16) from Amazon
• £1,100 ($1,393.92) on an unspecified international money transfer website.

Once the recipients press 1, the call will be transferred to an agent who will ask the recipient to either:

• Withdraw money from their bank account and send it to a designated money mule
• Initiate a money transfer to a “safe account”

Browning has also deployed an insider to ensure police in Lucknow would investigate the case, though the call center went dark shortly after.

I too had a chance to peek around his Facebook account, and based on my observations:

• The scammer goes under the identity of “Kevin” and falsely claims to reside in Oakland, California.
• The scammer will also attempt to deceive residents by posing as an employee for Chase Bank
• The scammer will have his victims purchase Nike gift cards for payment.
• The scammer appears to be addicted to the mobile game Animals and Coins
