Transcripts

special episode so this is a uh public
awareness video and there are many
people have been cheated and I'm very
very unhappy just uh two days before one
of my friends was cheated
royally so I'm going to talk about that
now there are so many scams going around
in India and I tell you one day I was
sleeping on Sunday my wife woke me up
and I said you know please allow me to
sleep for another half an hour she said
no what are you doing you are sleeping
and now people say you know in 1 hour
all your properties will be frozen right
all your bank account will be frozen you
know I said okay what is it and you know
email was sent to my mail ID and some
messages were sent to my secretary's
number okay and they said that you know
I have a case case with uh enforcement
directorate and believe me they use the
enforcement directorate logo even their
profile picture is Ed right and then you
know I saw the mail the mail actually
you know it came from some lady name at
gmail.com you know how Ed will use the
gmail.com right and everybody in the
government office or private
organizations they use their own mail ID
right so moreover any government
agencies they have the upper hand you
know they will send a notice to you they
will ask you to go to their office
nobody will call you over the phone you
know and they say then you know uh your
property will be frozen or your bank
account will be frozen you know I think
I posted in Twitter also I started you
know the funny thing is that you know
when my secretary said you know uh you
know he's sleeping then as soon as he
woke up he must call this number you
know that number happened to be a us
number right in the mail they said no
recently enforcement directorate has
been shifted to us how enforcement
director in directorate in India can be
shifted to us right they are all very
funny things
you have a common sense you know you
know you will know that all these are
scam so I said you know okay I just
replied just for fun okay poor
government of India okay they cannot
even afford a email ID for you they're
asking you to use a Gmail ID right and
then you know why the government of
India does not have a land in India they
are asking the enforcement director to
shift to us then they started abusing me
you know they say you are a fraud okay
yeah I'm a fraud that's why enforcement
director is there to take care of me
right why they call me fraud you know
they were not happy you know they
started using uh you know all kinds of
vulgar languages this and that I said
you know I know that you are a scamster
right then they asked me no by tomorrow
you don't come and report to enforcement
director at office in Mumbai okay all
your you will be arrested and then they
gave the address okay I posted that
address in Twitter you know somebody
actually took the photograph of that
building that there was no Ed office
there you know so you know people you
know scams are going you know yeah like
about 6 months before once in a month we
get these scams calls but now believe me
every day I'm getting four or five calls
and the technology is so Advanced you
know earlier at least they have to pay
some salary to some people to call but
nowadays you know the technology you
know phone call is coming you take it
you say uh this is a notification from
RBI you have done something wrong
because of that you know RBI within 2
hours all your bank account will be
closed and you want to get more details
press 9 okay then I press n somebody
took the phone ask me what is what is
your name I said why should I tell my
name you only call me right you call me
then you should know my name right then
they cut the call the moment you are
scared and they'll say that you know
okay you transfer so much money to this
bank account and then you know there
will be no case against you and then
another call nowadays coming you know
this is a message from Telecom
Department within 2 hours your you know
call will be cut and your subscription
will be cut you have to call this number
and what funny thing you know most of
these camsters I tell you they call you
either Sunday um morning early morning
because most of the people you know will
be in a sleepy mode or if they target
the senior citizens they will call
around 2 p.m. in Saturday or Sunday you
know because like senior citizens you
know so they will tend to sleep in the
afternoon so you know your brain may not
be working very well so sleepy mode and
they use the
opportunity right and then they call
this and that you know your bank account
will be closed if you don't update okay
and then they'll say no debit card
number what is your PIN right you know
the scams are getting out of control and
another scam going on you know people
call we are calling from this Courier
agency there's one parcel has come from
to you from South Africa or Uganda okay
when we scanned it there's a drug so we
suspect you that you have a drug notics
Buu will be coming and arresting you you
know you don't want to get arrested okay
we are going to inform the narcotics Buu
you don't want us to inform that you
transfer so much money and 2 days before
uh one of my friends got this call and
then he has actually transferred 3 lakh
rupees and let me tell you that 3 lakh
Rupees is entire life saving right and
then this is
gone and then you know by the time he
called me he told me you know I told
immediately no no this is scam okay so
then we
activated right and I called I told him
to call the you know helpline number
okay unfortunately the helpline number
did not work now if a helpline number is
not working for 3 hours the guy who
cheated okay do you think that he will
keep the money in bank and immediately
will withdraw the cash right and then
you know then you know because I know
some uh top level police officers I call
them you know this call number is not
working so they tried their best you
know so by the time we would get make a
complaint four 5 hours gone already if
four 5 hours gone it's too
late then you know the next day they
were asked to come to the police station
then they said now today Sunday then you
come tomorrow morning to file a
complaint you know and all these things
you know it's too late right now there
are many questions come to our mind as a
common man right you go to the bank they
ask you to sign fard declaration they
ask you to link your your other number
to your bank account right even you go
to income tax portal how many bank
account you have how much money you have
in all the bank account everything is
reflected there now when I was talking
to a police officer he told me sir the
probability of recovering that money is
very low at best what they can do they
can freeze that account but you freeze
that account they will go and open
another account and they will start
doing the scam again so my question is
that you know number one there must be a
hotline you know which is accessible to
the people because by the time a person
knows that he's been scammed that is
already too late and after that he calls
you know a number if that is not
accessible you know the time is too late
and then not only that as soon as the
call center receives that number they
must have the ability to freeze the
account immediately you know like
immediately freeze account and then we
will see investigate what is true or not
otherwise you know those people will be
with the right the cash and then if a
case has been filed you know not only
that account should be frozen okay all
the accounts under that name okay link
to the other same other or same pen
number because every bank account you
have to give a pen number okay if that
guy is having 56 bank account and all
the banks account has to be
Frozen all right and I really don't know
even the Telecom Department okay if a
scam call coming to me if if I you know
there must be a number where I can
report I received the spam call from
this okay scam call for this number then
then the Telecom Department must block
that number and Telecom department is
helping them with so much of Technology
one nuisance you know I every day get
one call you know I gra something like
that it starts okay I block it I block
one number same call is coming from next
day from another number I block it every
day I'm getting one call every day I'm
blocking everyday new call is coming now
how can Telecom Department can cooperate
with the scamsters like this how can
they get so many things if you are
getting a call from some number if you
block it that's it okay I don't think
that they will be having so many mobile
numbers do you think they have 400 500
numbers how they are doing and all these
things are you know very very funny
thing now the funny thing is that one of
my friends who lost three lakh rupees
right
and he has to make 4 lakh Rupees to
recover this three lakh because you know
he has to make four lakh then only pay
one lakh tax to the government then he
can recover this three lakhs at least
the government of India should do
something if somebody is being scammed
he lost the money okay at least until he
recovers that money at least the income
tax should not be charged for him and
believe me one guy used artificial
intelligence used my photo my
video okay and scammed one guy 29 9 cres
it's not one rupe or 2 rupee it is a 29
crores one person in Chennai lost 29 CR
but he was thinking that he has paid the
29 CR to me and see these camsters how
advanced their
people okay you keep transferring money
to them they say that they are buying
and selling shares okay it's not they
are buying and selling share they're
saying P Sund is buying and selling
share okay the people who follow me very
closely
they know very well that I'm not a good
person in uh stock market I only do
trading I only do trading in options I'm
not a good investor also but people are
thinking that you know PR Sund is buying
and selling share they give the some app
in that app you know keep on showing the
profit this guy gave 29 CR and the The
Profit went on increasing increasing
increasing it went up to 185 CR so
because he saw 185 CR profit he wanted
to withdraw 5 CR and that time you know
he contacted the some person they said
you know you have to our commission 16
CR you have to transfer and then only
you can withraw that is when he realized
that it is a
scam okay now I tell you my personal
experience how many scams I came across
somebody called me from enforcement
directorate that is a scam somebody said
you know the drug Consignment has come
you know they are getting Commission
you know that was second one this is
where my friend lost 3 lakh rupes 2 days
before we are going to all over the
places in Police Department okay in fact
we know people in police department but
still no use then people say your telom
services will be dropped then they say
I'm calling from RBI you know that one
all right and the most important stock
market is the place where the huge
number of scams okay I'm PR Sund calling
you you give me money I will manage you
manage your money I can make more profit
okay I think this impersonation is a
really a nuisance if somebody Scot they
must be punished
heavily how can they use my photograph
my video you know it's not only mine I
think they're using
everybody's but the most impersonated
person in India maybe PR Sun but there
is nothing to be happy about it my
request to the government is that you
know they have to have a you know system
in place so that action can be taken
immediately you know as soon as somebody
is being scammed immediately that
account should be frozen uh you know
those people must be brought to the
Justice you know and they know just only
to which account you transfer the money
only that account is Frozen is of no use
everything under there pan number or
other number has to be blocked okay
income tax department also should
consider some something for these
people but all these are our wish list
okay I don't think that those things can
happen but what you can do you can
Safeguard yourself nobody is going to
save you so how to safeguard yourself
I'll give you some tips okay number one
if you are a normal man you know any
call from unknown number don't pick up
the call sometimes you know in our
business we cannot do that you know
because like our potential customers is
calling right so how we can cut all the
calls but most of the people you know
they don't belong to this category you
must be working somewhere you know if
any new number is coming you don't pick
up the call okay and send a message or
send a WhatsApp okay uh this is a new
number okay why do you want to talk to
me so if this scamsters usually they
don't respond
uh that's one thing so one one agenda
you know if they give the reply then you
know at least you know you have a record
of that so to give a police
complaint and second thing you be very
very careful you know during Saturday
and Sunday why these people do on
Saturday and Sunday because the
probability of you know you are going to
the police or getting the those things
you know uh it's very very less because
it's a holiday right I was talking to
one of my friends who is working in
government uh Sund I don't know how
these stupid people you know they
believe all these things you know we in
government we don't work from Monday to
Friday where are we going to work on
Saturday and Sunday right don't pick up
the call from unknown numbers right
anybody say anything let me tell you
very very clearly no government agencies
will call you over the phone they will
send the notice to you they will send
you the showcas notice to you right they
will because you see the people income
tax or Ed or any other division they are
the upper hand right they can call you
to their
office right once you have not done
anything wrong why should you worry if
somebody say the drug has come in in
your name why should you worry right so
you say okay the case you know send me
the notice or send me the mail send me
the mail from official mail ID not
gmail.com right so uh please be safe
this a scam is getting out of control
okay and now like I'm getting so angry
you know and now this is becoming a scam
India right we are not against any
government we are not against any
political party okay but everybody
should work together and to do something
and this is just really getting out of
control is a nuisance every day I'm
getting four or five calls so why should
I if RBA wants to talk to me they can
send the notice to me directly they can
send a mail to me directly right so
please be safe you know a small mistake
one of my friends he lost his entire
life savings is going to be a suffering
for a long time right a small mistake
can cost you very much so this is the
technology you know better switch off
your phone on Saturdays and Sundays
right that's the best thing you can do
you spend time with your family so so
anyway uh I'm really very angry you know
it has happened to one of my friends
know I'm also not able to help although
I'm trying my best you know the
probability of recovering that money is
very very low if you have enjoyed this
