Phone scams have been a problem for much of the modern age of communication, and by all signs, it only seems to be getting worse. A study from Truecaller, a scam protection and caller identification system, revealed that nearly 30 billion dollars were stolen from American citizens alone in 2021. That\u2019s where Mark Rober enters the picture. For more than a year he has been attempting to track down the headquarters of one such scam business, and at long last his search is complete. Mark Rober gets revenge on phone scam center Rober and his team were able to locate and identify four total call centers across their search. This squad consisted of two other major YouTube channels in Jim Browning of Tech Support Scams and the two-man scam fighting team of Trilogy Media. With their own version of The Avengers assembled the team set to work devising a plan. Instead of sticking with Rober\u2019s traditional fare of glitter-bombs filled with \u201cfart spray\u201d, this one was a bit more in-depth. The Trilogy Media team flew to Kolkata, India, and worked with a team of citizens to infiltrate one of these call center offices. Once these covert agents were in place, the team equipped them with hand-staining soap for the bathrooms, a fake box of Viagra with the boss\u2019s name on it, and also plenty of the aforementioned spray. Despite having some security issues, like text messages that allegedly advised employees to shoot at Art and Ashton of Trilogy, a couple of lucky strokes meant the plan was in place. Thanks to Browning\u2019s expert manipulation of CCTV systems, the entire event was captured on camera and can be watched on Rober\u2019s channel. In the end, this process caused every scam office in Kolkata to close for a few days, and even helped Indian law enforcement enact a plan to raid and shut down an entire building. We can\u2019t recommend taking this kind of revenge something for yourself, but it does seem to have worked out well for this adventurous squad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Rober shuts down phone scam center in India with glitter bombs and cockroaches YouTube: Mark RoberEngineer Mark Rober is back with a new video explaining how he shut down a phone scam center on the other side of the globe using a bundle of cockroaches and his signature \u201cglitter bomb\u201d package.
