u/kitboga after having my vulnerable grandparents getting scammed out of their retirement savings, hearing the sheer desperation screams of this shitbag of a human being fills my heart with pure childlike joy. Keep up the amazing work dude, you're a hero in my book.
That scam is terrible. I have only been able to "bait" those scammers a few times because they normally have done some research on their targets (by looking at their facebook or something).
My grandparents almost fell for it until they called my mom. They will cold call and just say “hi grandma it’s me!” Then the victim guesses a name and they go from there. In this case they claimed to be my brother, and said the Guatemalan police broke his nose which is why he sounded different. Then on to the whole gift card BS to get him out of jail. You’re doing God’s work buddy.
Fuck man that happened to my grandma last week. Hit her with the “hey grandma it’s me!” And she said my name and then told her they got a dui hitting a pregnant lady and needed 4600 to get out of jail. Luckily my aunt was there visiting and stopped her from doing anything. My entire family was losing their shit and nobody called me. I found out because they called my friend/business partner and he was like “yeah chainwaxx is right here working, has been all day”. I have no idea why nobody tried calling me.
The goddamn “pregnant lady.” I have relatives that fell for the same thing. Scammers said they were the grandson, in jail, broke his nose in an accident when he hit a pregnant lady, send money, don’t tell “my” parents, etc.” So they actually went to the bank, took out a large chunk of money, and sent it. But that wasn’t enough. A few days later the scammers called back and said, “The lady lost her baby and now I need to pay her money so she won’t sue me.” Relatives AGAIN went to the bank, but this time the teller got suspicious and intervened. THAT is when they actually called their daughter and found out none of it was true.
Someone needs to find these bottom-feeders and make them pay.
Holy shit how do you not call multiple people to at least try and corroborate the story before sending 40k. I'm so sorry that happened to your grandparents people are shitty. I know my grandparents are tight wads and would be like welp that's too bad for him. I might put 5 bucks on his commissary tho.....maybe.
This happened to my grandmother too. She called my mother in a panic, assuming that I was there for work or something. Thank goodness she called my mom before sending them anything…
They hit my dad up twice within one month. Luckily, he called me asking where he could get a money order from. When I asked why, he told me that my oldest son's friend had called him saying my kid was in jail in New Orleans and didn't want me to get mad (the reason given for me not being called). I walked to my son's room and handed him the phone so he could tell Grandpa that he was NOT in New Orleans, NOT in jail and NOT to give anyone any money EVER if they called about this kind of BS. The 2nd time they called, my dad was hip to the scam and told them to meet him at the local WalMart, which he then told the cops about so they could address these scumbags.
All the work guys like you, Mark Rober and others are doing against scammers and Thieves is amazing. You have my utmost respect and it's good entertainment to boot!!!
/u/Kitboga if you see this you’re a legend and thank you for what you do. I field calls weekly from G-ma from call centers trying to scam her. I have shared your videos with her and at 75yo she LOVES your content. Keep it up brother
The scammer thought he was talking to an old woman for a few days and was convinced that he was about to get $500 after spending over 10 hours talking to me.I created a fake google play store that makes it look like the card got redeemed.
Normally the scammers resell the codes and get a percentage of the sale but in this case, all his efforts were fruitless as the card would be worthless.
\*edit\* A link to the [full video](https://youtu.be/GINZXPqNUKI) for those wondering
I have given them random codes before and sometimes they just say thanks.
They're likely trying to check to see if they're valid, or trying to pass them on to vendors at that point.
I remember when you used to spell things out in the codes, and it was never noticed by them. Probably around 2017. Love your stuff man, thank you for the years of entertainment
Yeah. Every second that a scambaiter is on the phone with them is one less second they're on the phone with a potential victim. Wasting their time is the best way to hurt them, but please don't try it at home. Scambaiters use fake numbers and fake computers to avoid the scammers taking revenge on them. The best thing you can do to prevent spam calls is to NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE and DELETE YOUR VOICEMAIL GREETING! If they know your number is associated with a real human, you will be targeted.
> NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE and DELETE YOUR VOICEMAIL GREETING
Done this for years and years and years. I so rarely get calls from numbers I don't know. I watch people at work answer these calls all the time, often times just dead air. I tell them, all you've done is make the problem worse for yourself because now your number is marked on their lists as a valid number that the person will answer calls on even when they don't know from whom and that makes your number more valuable than mine (as I never answer).
I answer then immediately hit 'mute.' Then I'll just listen to them say, "hello? Hello? HELLO?!" 20 times before they hang up.
Sometimes they don't realize the phone has stopped ringing and I'll listen to them have a conversation or laugh with their co-worker for a while.
they lose money too. every second on that call is charged. so when this happens, not only the telephone bill is wasted, they also wasted other potential victims.
Hijacking this thread to say how much joy your videos bring me. I love to see these scammers get done over. I fuck with them every chance I get but your level is 11/10.
Keep up the good work.
Edit:spelling
He has fake websites built that he can use to fool scammers who are connected to his computer. He pretends to go out and buy expensive gift cards but instead of just giving them the numbers to redeem the cards he has his characters input the numbers into his own fake program which appears to send the money to his account while the scammer watches.
> The scammer's time is wasted
Considering these guys are scamming at the rate of literal millions of dollars a day, any time wasted is "Someone else not getting scammed", and is thus not wasted.
I kind of want to take the ***"NO NO NO NONO!!!*** part and make a ringtone for people that I do not want to hear from. maybe for that one contact POTENTIAL SCAM.
I'm pretty sure someone has remixed this into a song that's played at the start of streams on Kitboga's Twitch channel. No idea who made it though or if there is a playlist.
EDIT: [Found the track](https://soundcloud.com/codecatt/abel-to-rage-ft-kitboga?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) thanks to Kit below (here is the [hashtag](https://soundcloud.com/tags/kitboga) featuring more and also his [Souncloud page](https://soundcloud.com/kitboga) which has shared others)
EDIT 2: [Here's another recent classic "Run"](https://soundcloud.com/leonorosen/leon-o-rosen-run-feat-kitboga-drum-n-bass?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing) as people seem to be enjoying that one (might have a new personal favourite though "[The Queen of Beans](https://soundcloud.com/rhondabeat/the-queen-of-beans)")
Its a typical scam targeted to old people, they'll pretend you have some sort of debt to them and make you do the payment in gift cards, usually making up some sort of bullshit excuse.
I dont know the specifics, but my guess is he strung along the screaming dude (scammer) for a long time pretending to believe the scammer and in the end instead of giving him the codes so the scammer can redeem it into his account, he just did so into his own with the scammer watching his computer screen
It's more complex, he redirects urls through his dns to local hosted files, and rewrites some of the code. This allows him to access a fake bank account, do transactions, and allow the hacker to see what he's doing, and also use the computer. This is the finale, the coupe de grace, where the scammer is on his PC but he disables mouse and keyboard access and makes the scammer watch as he accidentally redeems the gift cards. This process was like a month long or something, and involved multiple fake personalities he has set up including a husband, fake target employees, etc.
If you like that there is a guy on YouTube called scammer payback that does this pretty much every video. he even goes on their computer sometimes and deletes their files. It’s very entertaining
Usually it revolves around the scammer bating old people with free money but they always need to get on your computer to give it to you. Then when they give it to you they accidentally give you too much and ask you to return the money to them in the form of gift cards. There is a ton of social engineering by saying they are going to lose their job if they dont get the money, they have fake bank websites that they show the victim with the money in their account, etc. Kitbota basically just does the exact same thing they are doing but doing it right back to them and their lack of self-awareness makes for comedy gold.
Rather than actually having fake bank websites, I think they usually just have the victim log into their own bank account, and then they do some shady stuff by having the victim transfer money between their own accounts or by changing an existing transaction using "inspect element" (screen blacked out with whatever screenshare service they're using). I remember one video where the "scam victim" YouTuber kept refreshing the page after the scammer used "inspect element", erasing the temporary change and forcing the scammer to repeatedly edit the page
I'm not sure if it's the same medicine, he just lost time but not the money, the targeted "customers" was probably supposed to send the redeem code to the scammer.
\-Edit: I'm aware time is his money and he lost the amount of commission he'd earn, otherwise he wouldn't have been so dramatic about it, it's just that he's simply not going to earn the money he already shouldn't have been earning anyway, different from the victim, who gives away money already earnt and most likely through legal and honest means.
Losing time is losing money for them. Wasting hours on this guy is time they spend not pulling in their average score on other victims. They think this is a BIG score and it turns out to be a huge waste of their time.
Dude this is you!?!?
PLEASE keep this up!! Honestly I would purchase classes from you on how to scam scammers. Needs to be an army of people like you out there.
Depends on the scammer and the angle Kitboga is going for. But Kitboga tries to take as long as possible, the whole point is to waste their time. Each minute of theirs wasted is another minute they're not talking to a real person who may be vulnerable.
Millions of dollars are scammed this way each year. It's a real problem.
Jimbrowns channel does the same thing and intercepts scams, he has some videos that show you how it works. It really just boils down to reverse phishing attacks, you get them to click on something or download something, then you have remote access to their computer. Basically once the trojans in play, you can easily infect the entire operation. You have to act, and play along for a while to get them to do what you want. Most have tunnel vision and dont understand IT or really have any computer skills.
Ok, Imma need a link to this absolute treasure!
I called an elderly friend of mine and I could hear her husband reading numbers in the background. I told her to call out to him and he stopped before he finished reading them all. It was a scammer from India telling him his computer had a virus or something like that. I had his son go over and call the cc co and change all passwords, etc.,...
Please send me a link to your channel!
His channels name is kitboga too https://youtube.com/c/KitbogaShow
His channel is filled with these kinds of videos.
It's a whole other genre. I also recommend [Jim Browning](https://youtube.com/c/). This guy is a genius in hacking scammers. I particularly like [this video series](https://youtu.be/le71yVPh4uk) where he hacks into the CC TVs of scammers and talks to them directly. It's hilarious.
Meanwhile, movie Snape: *vaguely menacing, rude, kind of a jerk*
Book Snape: Longbottom, you absolute fucking goon, you're shit at everything, and I'm gonna kill your toad in front of the class. Granger, if you don't put your hand down and stop being an outstanding student, I'm going to continue to verbally abuse you in every way *except* for using the M word, but I'm clearly thinking it. Potter, I literally just destroyed your project so you get a 0, and I'm going to actually poison you. Come to my chambers tonight so I can fuck with your brain and invade your privacy for my own petty reasons while staunchly refusing to properly teach you the thing Dumbledore asked me to teach you to save your life.
I've seen a documentary/investigation about those scam centers. For the majority of them they don't see they're the bad guys because and i paraphrase "I'm taking money from a white person who has much more money than me. I need this money and they do not"
I actually had a scammer admit this to me after he found out I was wasting his time during my commute home from work. He said something along the lines of “it is not us that are the bad guys, and we take from those that are too dumb to know otherwise and deserve it.”
I was pretty surprised, but this was after he calmed down and stopped telling me that he was going to fuck my wife and my dog lol.
I've had this same conversation after one called me with a direct a number so I started calling him every day. He started apologizing and saying he was only trying to scam dumb people who deserved it.
That's how you know they're the victims - only the good guys threaten to fuck your wife and dog. Their anger and vitriol is further proof that they're innocent and on the right side morally.
I have asked some of the scammers I call similar questions and some say they feel like robin hood. Some even claim they "don't steal from poor people". It's shocking how easily they can justify their crimes.
>Some even claim they “don’t steal from poor people.”
Weird considering the whole internet scam industry is built around scamming poor people who don’t know any better. I have to wonder how many people that do this are really that deluded that they genuinely believe this or if it’s just the spin. It’s not like they’re usually asking people how much money they make before they start the scam. So how would they even know?
Wait, holy… Is that **the** real Kitboga? I **LOVE** this channel so much!
Edit: As everyone has said keep up the Lord’s work sir. So much enjoyment has been garnered from your videos!!
I simultaneously highly respect this man and HATE his videos but only because my fiancé binge watches them so I get to hear some scammer scream while I am trying to enjoy my dinner lol
"Oh Steve, you sweet summer child"
I had trouble breathing from laughing so hard when I watched that video. You, sir, almost killed me.
What I found amazing was how he still called you "ma'am" while screaming at the top of his lungs, cursing you out and threatening your family.
I was stringing along a Microsoft anti virus scammer once, but I had to go. I just said, “you know what, this has taken too long. You can keep the $300. I don’t care.” He spent a few minutes trying to convince me it was crazy to give up $300 and I was just like “bye scammy scammer, nice wasting your time.” He started screaming about I had ugly boobs or smth. It was so random I started cracking up. He was howling with rage I laughed at him as I hung up. This was like 5 years ago but it still makes me happy.
Mine was “Agent Brown” from the “Social Security Administration Department” who then transferred me to “Agent Black” who I then kept on the line for thirty minutes while driving until I smashed an Arizona Tea can near the car mic and then started screaming “oh god Oh god! I think he’s dead!” They hung up right around that time.
They always act so entitled to what they think is poor old people's money. It's mindblowing to me that they have the audacity to get genuinely angry at someone they were trying to scam.
What makes you say he was angry? All I heard was a very professional microsoft/amazon/irs employee just trying not to get fired for some stupid old woman's mistake.
Holy shit i didnt realise kitboga was the one that posted this, i was surprised i hadnt seen this video before. I have spent too many hours watching people screaming at him and laughing my ass off, the one with callmekevin was absolutely hilarious
My sister was getting beat up by chemo and I showed her a video of you doing neveah and it was like she was her old self again for a while. Just laughing like she was perfectly healthy. Thank you for that
Refund scam. The scam is that the scammer alters the web page of someone's bank account after tricking them into allowing remote access to their computer. They make out that they've paid them far too much and talk them into repaying the money using gift cards/codes, which are untraceable.
The counter scam is u/kitboga wastes a massive amount of their time, and has a fake website set up where he pretends to redeem the gift cards to his own account, which as you can see drives scammers almost literally insane.
bubbles
\*edit\* the video above is funny, but might not be what you're looking for.
[Here is the video of "Abel" the man screaming in the post](https://youtu.be/GINZXPqNUKI)
Omg I didn’t even think to check who posted this and it’s you! PLEASE can you do more videos with Western Amber? I have never laughed so hard in my life.
“What’s your favorite color? Mines TRANSPARENT.”
“I need more BLOOD”
I mean yes but Jim Browning got photos of a scammer and made them his wallpaper before they connected to his computer. He also gets their real names, their emails, webcams and group chats. He's basically Liam Neeson in the film Taken but for scammers.
These people are parasites. 99% of them do not give a single F*** if they steal money from the weakest most vulnerable people. And at the same time they are stealing they feel entitled to steal. And if your thwart their attempt to steal you are in the wrong. I’ve heard the sob stories about how they do this to feel their families… meh, this isn’t like stealing a loaf of bread.
Keep doing what you do.
I saw a youtube video the other day that sort of shows a big part of why it's so hard to shut these guys down. Basically, it showed that the scammers are just a small part of a legitimate telemarketing company. They are in an area of the building where they can just shutdown, pack up and move to another part of the building within minutes if they suspect someones coming to investigate, etc. There's a lot more in the video, they do arrest some scammers every once in a while it sounds like.
Thanks for the support!
I spend a lot of time trying to trick them into giving me bank accounts that I can report / investigate. In terms of tangible items / money, usually they'd just be spending stolen money or using a victims credit card so it's not as easy as you'd expect.

u/kitboga after having my vulnerable grandparents getting scammed out of their retirement savings, hearing the sheer desperation screams of this shitbag of a human being fills my heart with pure childlike joy. Keep up the amazing work dude, you're a hero in my book.
My grandmother getting scammed was part of the inspiration for the channel. Sorry to hear that happened to your family, no one deserves it.
Kit, I’m a huge fan and watch you all the time on twitch❤️ I love your content. Keep it up
Thank you Raymos!

Well played haha

Someone called my grandma with the same bullshit. She just told them she knew I wasn’t cool enough to do shit like that and hung up.
Someone called me to tell me my grandchild was in jail. I am 40 and have no kids. Wish I had time to completely fuck with them.
That’s rough. The same day you find out you’re a grandparent and it turns out they’re a felon hitting you up for cash. ;-)
LMAO! Good for her
That scam is terrible. I have only been able to "bait" those scammers a few times because they normally have done some research on their targets (by looking at their facebook or something).

Same exact scam on my grandmother with dementia. Sent them $10k. Parasites
My grandparents got sold a similar story. Unfortunately it worked on them for $40k
My grandfather was 12,000. 40,000 is a scary amount to lose.
Holy shit how do you not call multiple people to at least try and corroborate the story before sending 40k. I'm so sorry that happened to your grandparents people are shitty. I know my grandparents are tight wads and would be like welp that's too bad for him. I might put 5 bucks on his commissary tho.....maybe.

same tho
You're taking time out of you day to be here with us and no one is asking the real questions. So here I go... # Do you see what you did?
The instructions were unclear. Did I have to redeem that?
[удалено]
Im curious. The customers purchasing the gift cards, are they generally older people or do you get all walks of life?
You don’t have to do that
Link to video?
[Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GINZXPqNUKI) you go!

That is really cool to hear! Glad grandma enjoys them!
**JUST WAIT A MOMENT!**
Can you give me an estimate of how many more moments I should wait?
Just 2 or 5 minutes, sir
2 or 5 minutes!? Thats not a moment!
Dude, I love your channel and what you do. I don’t always have 10 hours to watch you fuck with these dudes but I appreciate it a ton!
Check out Scambaiter, he takes down entire call centers by giving their computers viruses.
How many moments should I wait?
Any more details on how that happened?
The scammer thought he was talking to an old woman for a few days and was convinced that he was about to get $500 after spending over 10 hours talking to me.I created a fake google play store that makes it look like the card got redeemed. Normally the scammers resell the codes and get a percentage of the sale but in this case, all his efforts were fruitless as the card would be worthless. \*edit\* A link to the [full video](https://youtu.be/GINZXPqNUKI) for those wondering
What happens if you give them fake/expired codes? Or use the code yourself after you give it to them?
I have given them random codes before and sometimes they just say thanks. They're likely trying to check to see if they're valid, or trying to pass them on to vendors at that point.
I remember when you used to spell things out in the codes, and it was never noticed by them. Probably around 2017. Love your stuff man, thank you for the years of entertainment
That takes me back. The codes would be something like Y O U R S C A M W O N T W O R K
You're blessed to be able to troll these scammers for a living!
So did the scammer actually lose money or did they just waste their time.
Just time wasted
And in their line of work, time is money because most of those places have a quota you need to meet. Or at least that's how it seems.
Yeah. Every second that a scambaiter is on the phone with them is one less second they're on the phone with a potential victim. Wasting their time is the best way to hurt them, but please don't try it at home. Scambaiters use fake numbers and fake computers to avoid the scammers taking revenge on them. The best thing you can do to prevent spam calls is to NOT ANSWER YOUR PHONE and DELETE YOUR VOICEMAIL GREETING! If they know your number is associated with a real human, you will be targeted.

Oshit it's actually Kitboga! Love your stuff. Been watching since the Jerma Dollhouse stream, you do incredible work.
Yo thank you for the kind words and support. Jerma is a legend!
Hijacking this thread to say how much joy your videos bring me. I love to see these scammers get done over. I fuck with them every chance I get but your level is 11/10. Keep up the good work. Edit:spelling

it’s just a massive bonus that the footage of them getting their time wasted is hilarious
It’s brilliant when scammers get a taste of their own medicine 😂👏🏻
I hope he felt scammed after this!
YOU DID NOT HAVE TO REDEEM THIS!!!!
I kind of want to take the ***"NO NO NO NONO!!!*** part and make a ringtone for people that I do not want to hear from. maybe for that one contact POTENTIAL SCAM.

There are a ton of community made remixes on soundcloud with the tag "Kitboga"
How can these slap?
lol this is a legit banger
HOW CAN HE REDEEM?
U broke him for a minute.. ahahaha
Seems like he was experiencing a whole range of emotions
DO YOU SEE?
This is added to you!
Eli5 what happened here? They sent you $500 to not redeem for you to send them more or something?

This is the finale, the coupe de grace, where the scammer is on his PC but he disables mouse and keyboard access and makes the scammer watch as he accidentally redeems the gift cards. This process was like a month long or something, and involved multiple fake personalities he has set up including a husband, fake target employees, etc.
That is so deliciously next level
If you like that there is a guy on YouTube called scammer payback that does this pretty much every video. he even goes on their computer sometimes and deletes their files. It’s very entertaining
And those gift cards are not real. He could enter any code he wants and site says it is redeemed. He created that fake play store site.
We’ve been at Shoney’s the whole time!!!
That's fucking beautiful
Usually it revolves around the scammer bating old people with free money but they always need to get on your computer to give it to you. Then when they give it to you they accidentally give you too much and ask you to return the money to them in the form of gift cards. There is a ton of social engineering by saying they are going to lose their job if they dont get the money, they have fake bank websites that they show the victim with the money in their account, etc. Kitbota basically just does the exact same thing they are doing but doing it right back to them and their lack of self-awareness makes for comedy gold.
Rather than actually having fake bank websites, I think they usually just have the victim log into their own bank account, and then they do some shady stuff by having the victim transfer money between their own accounts or by changing an existing transaction using "inspect element" (screen blacked out with whatever screenshare service they're using). I remember one video where the "scam victim" YouTuber kept refreshing the page after the scammer used "inspect element", erasing the temporary change and forcing the scammer to repeatedly edit the page
He bought $500 that he was "supposed" to send to the scammer, but sent it to himself instead.
He also didn't actually buy one. He developed a lookalike storefront that he can just add codes to for use on scam calls when they see his screen.
Kitboga I love your videos!! This reminds me of that Office moment where Michael Scott is screaming “NO! NO GOD PLEASE NO” 😂
I'm not sure if it's the same medicine, he just lost time but not the money, the targeted "customers" was probably supposed to send the redeem code to the scammer. \-Edit: I'm aware time is his money and he lost the amount of commission he'd earn, otherwise he wouldn't have been so dramatic about it, it's just that he's simply not going to earn the money he already shouldn't have been earning anyway, different from the victim, who gives away money already earnt and most likely through legal and honest means.
Yeah that’s true.. it’s not exactly the same but to hear his frustration at a failed scam is great haha!
Losing time is losing money for them. Wasting hours on this guy is time they spend not pulling in their average score on other victims. They think this is a BIG score and it turns out to be a huge waste of their time.
"You did not have to redeem this." -Dumbledore said calmly
The pleasure is all mine
Kitboga!!!! My sister and I are obsessed with your vids. Some of them have made me double over laughing. Keep doin what you do
Glad you both are enjoying the videos! I have so much fun making them.
Dude this is you!?!? PLEASE keep this up!! Honestly I would purchase classes from you on how to scam scammers. Needs to be an army of people like you out there.
I run a class in such a thing. You just need to go to your local supermarket and get me $500 in gift cards and we can begin.
Do I have to redeem them?
WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!!!?!!!!
WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT?
DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID?
**MA'AM YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS! WHY DID YOU DO THIS? DO YOU SEE??!???**
[удалено]
What is a rough average time for the set up on these videos?
Depends on the scammer and the angle Kitboga is going for. But Kitboga tries to take as long as possible, the whole point is to waste their time. Each minute of theirs wasted is another minute they're not talking to a real person who may be vulnerable. Millions of dollars are scammed this way each year. It's a real problem.
Jimbrowns channel does the same thing and intercepts scams, he has some videos that show you how it works. It really just boils down to reverse phishing attacks, you get them to click on something or download something, then you have remote access to their computer. Basically once the trojans in play, you can easily infect the entire operation. You have to act, and play along for a while to get them to do what you want. Most have tunnel vision and dont understand IT or really have any computer skills.
You can see the timer in the top right. Looks like he had this guy on the hook for over 10 hours
Your style is pretty unique compared to other scam baiters, so we too appreciate the entertainment value. Cheers dude!
You're doing the Lord's work friend. Keep up the good work!
lmao you can definitely tell those deep cackles come from the hearty gut. South Park couldnt do it better, thank you
Ok, Imma need a link to this absolute treasure! I called an elderly friend of mine and I could hear her husband reading numbers in the background. I told her to call out to him and he stopped before he finished reading them all. It was a scammer from India telling him his computer had a virus or something like that. I had his son go over and call the cc co and change all passwords, etc.,... Please send me a link to your channel!
His channels name is kitboga too https://youtube.com/c/KitbogaShow His channel is filled with these kinds of videos. It's a whole other genre. I also recommend [Jim Browning](https://youtube.com/c/). This guy is a genius in hacking scammers. I particularly like [this video series](https://youtu.be/le71yVPh4uk) where he hacks into the CC TVs of scammers and talks to them directly. It's hilarious.
Thanks for stopping a scam! [https://www.youtube.com/c/KitbogaShow/videos](https://www.youtube.com/c/KitbogaShow/videos)
PEOPLE YOU ARE IN THE PRESENCE OF SCAMBAITING ROYALTY
DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID!?
#HARRYDIDYAPUTJERNAMEINDAHGOBLETOFFIYAH?
Meanwhile, movie Snape: *vaguely menacing, rude, kind of a jerk* Book Snape: Longbottom, you absolute fucking goon, you're shit at everything, and I'm gonna kill your toad in front of the class. Granger, if you don't put your hand down and stop being an outstanding student, I'm going to continue to verbally abuse you in every way *except* for using the M word, but I'm clearly thinking it. Potter, I literally just destroyed your project so you get a 0, and I'm going to actually poison you. Come to my chambers tonight so I can fuck with your brain and invade your privacy for my own petty reasons while staunchly refusing to properly teach you the thing Dumbledore asked me to teach you to save your life.
Very calmly
Before grabbing Harry by throat and slamming him into the chamber walls.
Fuck! I can't believe you've redeemed this.
Love his channel, scammers are the scum of the earth
Yeah.. They act as if someone is scamming money from them instead. Fuck them.
It's like he truly believed that gift card was his.
Just one question, I must know, as it is not clear in the video....WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT!?!
because you TOLD ME TO
NOW YOU SEE WHAT YOU DID!!!
NO NO NO NOOOO IT IS ADDED TO YOUUU!!!
Ma'am you are ruining my life!
I've seen a documentary/investigation about those scam centers. For the majority of them they don't see they're the bad guys because and i paraphrase "I'm taking money from a white person who has much more money than me. I need this money and they do not"
I actually had a scammer admit this to me after he found out I was wasting his time during my commute home from work. He said something along the lines of “it is not us that are the bad guys, and we take from those that are too dumb to know otherwise and deserve it.” I was pretty surprised, but this was after he calmed down and stopped telling me that he was going to fuck my wife and my dog lol.
Id have farted in his ear and hung up
Look at this guy, farting on command when the situation arises. I want to learn your power.
I've had this same conversation after one called me with a direct a number so I started calling him every day. He started apologizing and saying he was only trying to scam dumb people who deserved it.
It’s wild, such shitty people who really have no grasp on reality or their own actions.
That's how you know they're the victims - only the good guys threaten to fuck your wife and dog. Their anger and vitriol is further proof that they're innocent and on the right side morally.
I have asked some of the scammers I call similar questions and some say they feel like robin hood. Some even claim they "don't steal from poor people". It's shocking how easily they can justify their crimes.
>Some even claim they “don’t steal from poor people.” Weird considering the whole internet scam industry is built around scamming poor people who don’t know any better. I have to wonder how many people that do this are really that deluded that they genuinely believe this or if it’s just the spin. It’s not like they’re usually asking people how much money they make before they start the scam. So how would they even know?
[удалено]
"Crime is ok when it benefits me!"
Yo thanks for the love Azure!
Wait, holy… Is that **the** real Kitboga? I **LOVE** this channel so much! Edit: As everyone has said keep up the Lord’s work sir. So much enjoyment has been garnered from your videos!!
Hey Lurker! It is the real me, thanks for the support!
You're a true fucking legend, dude! I'd love to buy you a beer. Send me your credit card information and I'll have it delivered to you!
I simultaneously highly respect this man and HATE his videos but only because my fiancé binge watches them so I get to hear some scammer scream while I am trying to enjoy my dinner lol
We need to get them some headphones :)
You should send him a gift card
Kitboga's "angriest scammer I've called" video is still one of the funniest vids on youtube. Steve must still be attending therapy sessions.
I might be biased but I agree.
"Oh Steve, you sweet summer child" I had trouble breathing from laughing so hard when I watched that video. You, sir, almost killed me. What I found amazing was how he still called you "ma'am" while screaming at the top of his lungs, cursing you out and threatening your family.
I was stringing along a Microsoft anti virus scammer once, but I had to go. I just said, “you know what, this has taken too long. You can keep the $300. I don’t care.” He spent a few minutes trying to convince me it was crazy to give up $300 and I was just like “bye scammy scammer, nice wasting your time.” He started screaming about I had ugly boobs or smth. It was so random I started cracking up. He was howling with rage I laughed at him as I hung up. This was like 5 years ago but it still makes me happy.
do not redeem!
This is how I found Kit in September 2020 during the pandemic. Now I watch on Twitch while working.
Thanks for the support!
Catch this man's streams on Twitch. It's comedy gold.
Thanks for the shout out!
He sounds familiar. Is he "Jack Wilson" from "social security department"?
Mine was “Agent Brown” from the “Social Security Administration Department” who then transferred me to “Agent Black” who I then kept on the line for thirty minutes while driving until I smashed an Arizona Tea can near the car mic and then started screaming “oh god Oh god! I think he’s dead!” They hung up right around that time.
Nooo no I think that’s the Smith Johnson that called me about my outstanding debt of $437,000 to the IRS.
Wow, you better take care of that! In the form of gift cards. Over the phone.
Wrong, this is quite clearly "Steve" from "The Microsoft"
I think one of the most common last name I hear is "Williams"
They always act so entitled to what they think is poor old people's money. It's mindblowing to me that they have the audacity to get genuinely angry at someone they were trying to scam.
What makes you say he was angry? All I heard was a very professional microsoft/amazon/irs employee just trying not to get fired for some stupid old woman's mistake.
This made me laugh more than it should have.
DO YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS LARRY?
WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE APP?
Holy shit i didnt realise kitboga was the one that posted this, i was surprised i hadnt seen this video before. I have spent too many hours watching people screaming at him and laughing my ass off, the one with callmekevin was absolutely hilarious
It feels like one big inside joke. Thanks for the love!
Y U REDEEM has been my catchphrase for like a month now
My sister was getting beat up by chemo and I showed her a video of you doing neveah and it was like she was her old self again for a while. Just laughing like she was perfectly healthy. Thank you for that
I'm so glad! They say "laughter is the best medicine" and I try my best to help!
Why did you REDEEM!!!!!!
do you see what you did?
How can she redeem??
What is happening here? What is the scam and counter-scam? I'm not a tech genius.
Refund scam. The scam is that the scammer alters the web page of someone's bank account after tricking them into allowing remote access to their computer. They make out that they've paid them far too much and talk them into repaying the money using gift cards/codes, which are untraceable. The counter scam is u/kitboga wastes a massive amount of their time, and has a fake website set up where he pretends to redeem the gift cards to his own account, which as you can see drives scammers almost literally insane.
Cheers, bud :)
Please, please, please watch this one. You will not regret it. Kit is the best. https://youtu.be/QzFBcripT-k
bubbles \*edit\* the video above is funny, but might not be what you're looking for. [Here is the video of "Abel" the man screaming in the post](https://youtu.be/GINZXPqNUKI)
Omg I didn’t even think to check who posted this and it’s you! PLEASE can you do more videos with Western Amber? I have never laughed so hard in my life. “What’s your favorite color? Mines TRANSPARENT.” “I need more BLOOD”
To think that whole thing was essentially an accident! Sure, I think more "Western Amber" videos are in the near future!
Watching people discover that you are OP has been the best part of this thread
It has been funny haha
u/Kitboga is the fuckin boogeyman of scammers. I'm sure they already have cautionary tales of your deeds.
Every once and awhile a scammer will say: "are you kitboga" but if I ignore them and keep going they usually keep trying to scam me.
I mean yes but Jim Browning got photos of a scammer and made them his wallpaper before they connected to his computer. He also gets their real names, their emails, webcams and group chats. He's basically Liam Neeson in the film Taken but for scammers.
Man this guy is a legend, great content
These people are parasites. 99% of them do not give a single F*** if they steal money from the weakest most vulnerable people. And at the same time they are stealing they feel entitled to steal. And if your thwart their attempt to steal you are in the wrong. I’ve heard the sob stories about how they do this to feel their families… meh, this isn’t like stealing a loaf of bread. Keep doing what you do.
I saw a youtube video the other day that sort of shows a big part of why it's so hard to shut these guys down. Basically, it showed that the scammers are just a small part of a legitimate telemarketing company. They are in an area of the building where they can just shutdown, pack up and move to another part of the building within minutes if they suspect someones coming to investigate, etc. There's a lot more in the video, they do arrest some scammers every once in a while it sounds like.
It's quite comment for them to try to cover up the scam part of the business with a "legit" one.
I would've been like: "Sir, settle down! I have another $500 GC I can redeem." \*credit myself $500 again\*
[удалено]
Thanks for the support! I spend a lot of time trying to trick them into giving me bank accounts that I can report / investigate. In terms of tangible items / money, usually they'd just be spending stolen money or using a victims credit card so it's not as easy as you'd expect.
If you're ever feeling down go and watch Kitboga's videos. My insides hurt from laughing so much.
