Jim Browning

Jim Browning is the internet alias of an anonymous Northern Irish YouTuber based in Belfast whose content primarily focuses on scambaiting and helping people avoid scams. He also tries to help those that have fallen into scams.
==Scambaiting==
Browning carries out investigative scambaits in which he infiltrates computer networks run by technical support scammers and fraudsters posing as IRS agents through the use of remote access software and social engineering. In the past, he has hacked into the CCTV Network of a tech scamming HQ, and he regularly exposes scammers and their fraudulent purposes. He has saved many people from falling for scams, where scammers have threatened to wipe computers or drain bank accounts.
Since 2017, he has held an award for "The Dumbest Scammers Of The Year" in which he gives out non-existent prizes to the most incompetent scammers of the year.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rsxsCppOBnchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZhqYWbpKoMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjH9_6Ibai4 The 'Dumbest Scammers of The Year' series was short-lived, as the last 'Dumbest Scammers of The Year' video was in 2019.
==Channel deletion==
On July 26, 2021, he ironically fell victim himself to a scam himself, when a scammer used Google Chat to send emails with the @google.com suffix. The scammer then convinced Browning that he was talking to YouTube Creators support, and gave him carefully worded instructions that caused the deletion of his channel.https://twitter.com/JimBrowning11/status/1419765976074268682
===Channel restoration===
As of July 30, 2021, Jim has had his channel reinstated. He posted a video soon after explaining how the scammers tricked him into deleting his channel.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIWV5fSaUB8
