  Imagine just being some old lady and the forces of good and evil are fighting on your computer.

  The way they shout and yell and scare people is absolutely disgusting.

  Jim, with old people keep it simple. Perform these steps: <br>1) &quot;I&apos;m a fraud investigator.&quot;<br>2) &quot;Turn off your computer.&quot;<br>3) &quot;Here&apos;s how to block the scammer&apos;s number.&quot;<br>4) &quot;Do not answer unfamiliar numbers for a week.&quot;

  If I ever caught or found out someone talked to my mum that way I would track them down and they would be having hospital food for the rest of their life.

  It&apos;s funny when the scammers talk to Kit and Pierogi like this but when you know it&apos;s a real victim on the line, it&apos;s too heartbreaking and gut wrenching to hear. 😢<br>Great job exposing these creeps and building awareness.

  The way that guy spoke to that first lady is shocking. He&apos;s an absolute creep and should be in jail. It really made my blood boil. For the second call, you did great. The Police should&apos;ve just called the guy. They&apos;re at fault. You&apos;re a hero Jim 🙏🏻

  Getting a call from Jim must be like getting a call from Morpheus.

  In my opinion, it&apos;s only really a failure if you let the mistakes you make pressure you into stopping your work. You may have failed to stop a single scam in that moment, but you can&apos;t let that stop you from saving others!
