Popular Twitch troll and modern day hero Kitboga has made his streaming career wasting the time of would-be scammers online. This week, the streamer has developed a brand new way to mess with these cons, and it has produced some hilarious content.
Kitboga uses a number of techniques to convince scammers that he is the perfect victim and to keep them on the phone as long as possible. His new invention is a website to a fake bank account, and is the perfect trap for one of the most common scams going on today.
Web scammers have a million and one different tricks to try to separate vulnerable people from their money. The scams include pretending to be a different company, selling unnecessary software, and using scare tactics to blackmail and confuse people that don't know any better into giving them money.
Kitboga DOES know better, he's just really good at pretending he doesn't. To do this, Kitboga uses voice modulation to make him sound like an old lady, as well as virtual machines to trap remote-access scammers in a labyrinth of fake computers, turning the ruse back on the perpetrators. It is all designed to waste as much of the scammers time as possible and provide entertainment for his audience. These calls are long build ups that always end with an irate scam artist in a call center cursing and screaming at him for wasting their time. It's a lot of fun.
One common scam involves the scammer pretending they work for a large company like Tinder or Amazon and attempting to extort money from callers after offering a refund. There are many different methods, but in general the scammers will offer a small refund, say $100, but then trick the caller into thinking they've accidentally refunded $1000, they'll panic and demand that the caller send them $900 so they don't get in trouble for the error.
When scammers ask Kitboga for the log-in to access his bank, he directs them to his account at G&B Financial. This, of course, isn't a real bank and does nothing but waste a ton of their time. It's extraordinarily clever, and is just another tool in Kitboga's arsenal of trolling tech.
Kitboga streams live on Twitch daily at 12pm or 7pm. He also has a Youtube channel that cherry picks some of the best calls from each stream. Scammers beware: There's a new Dark Knight in town, and he's got your number.
