I get unexplainable joy watching scammers get scammed on YouTube.
My favourite scam scammer is kitboga.
lol, I literally read the title in his “old woman voice” 😂
Kitboga’s work is just epic. With all the programs he develops, sound effects, other people to help him, etc he uses it’s just like a modern day version of a radio hear play.
It isn’t just entertainment, it’s art.
And he’s literally doing good! Every minute a scammer is being baited is time they can’t try to scam innocent people…
I just want you guys to be aware of how weird and sad this sounds as someone outside of all this.
“I really like the people playing whack-a-mole with scammers, my favorite guy even makes it fun with colored lights and sound effects and gadgets he makes. It really makes me feel nice to know at least someone is punished for something I know is wrong but see little other efforts to solve. Ah fun catharsism.”
This is more depressing than it is funny
As an Indian, I would like to congratulate everyone here, you tax returns are here, but there is a spelling mistake in your name and it would take $5000 to correct it, please call 1800420SCAM to get your refund.
bad jokes aside, these are the scum of the country and I am sorry for this shit.
If we’re apologizing for national issues that aren’t our fault, I’d like to say sorry for mass-shootings, exploiting poor people and the widening wealth-gap, and (worst of all) obnoxiously loud Americans abroad!
As a dutchie, i’d like to be sorry for not stopping slavery earlier, the NSB, and Auschwitz!
Hey! Someone from India!
I watch lots of scambaiting videos and I know all about the public sentiment you guys have about scammers
It’s a damn shame the police in India are so easy to bribe… not that American cops are any better
American cops will rob you and then arrest you too.
There’s normally at least one person waiting at the door to every scam call center waiting to give a big bag of money to the police to go away
Sometimes the guy at the door will direct the cops to a legit call center to throw them off
I know it clearly works, and old people do definitely fall for it, but I’ll never understand how. What part of the script makes it sound reasonable that the IRS would want amazon gift cards instead of, you know, a cash transfer or something?
They make it sound like they are only notifying you that you are about to be arrested. They don’t ask for payment and fake refuse the first offer if the mark offers. Then, when the madk is very worried they are about to go to jail, it is much easier for them to believe whatever because it’s harder to think when you are panicking. So something like “our payment system is down so we cant take payment with cards right now. You need to pay within 30 minutes or I can’t reverse it. I guess I can pay out of pocket, but you need to get me the equal amount of gift cards” or some shit like that.
Yet they still have the courage to say “my generation was smarter than kids these days”
People who fall for scams like those aren’t always stupid.
They’re not always old people
With the IRS scam, they usually use the remote desktop software they direct you to to lock you out of your device
Then they’ll extort you for the thousands of dollars worth of gift cards
After they have the codes from the gift cards they’ll exchange them for crypto currency and/or sell them for even more than what’s on them
And after the scam is done they keep the connections on all the remote desktop apps open so they can spy on them for future scams
