吉姆·布朗宁(英语:Jim Browning)是一位英国北爱尔兰YouTuber所使用的化名[1],其影片主题为陷阱骇客英语Scam baiting与对抗呼叫中心诈骗。

布朗宁的正职为软件工程师[2],因亲戚受技术支持诈骗而开始研究其运作模式[3]。此类诈骗中,诈骗者假扮为微软等大公司的技术人员、电脑服务提供者或税务人员等,使用远端桌面软件控制受害者的电脑,并以社交工程欺骗受害者以诈财[1][4][5][6][7][8]。布朗宁开设Youtube频道上传影片,纪录自己对抗诈骗、揭露诈骗者身份的过程,并将资讯提供给警方[9]

2020年3月BBC电视的节目《广角镜》有一集为纪录吉姆·布朗宁对抗诈骗者的过程,他与卡尔·洛克英语卡爾·洛克(亦为Youtuber)骇入印度古尔冈一诈骗中心的闭路电视与电脑,收集完整诈骗经过,最终协助警方成功将诈骗者逮捕[10][11][12]。2021年纽约时报的一篇文章介绍布朗宁成功阻止年长女士被诈骗的过程[3][13];同年美国退休者协会(AARP)的杂志刊登长文介绍布朗宁对抗网络诈骗的经过[1]

2021年7月,布朗宁遭自称为Youtube员工的诈骗者诈骗,将自己的频道删除[14][15],但在4天后成功将其恢复[16],随后发布影片纪录自己被骗的经过[17]
