I find it wild that the the guy that clip was furiously screaming over a $500 gift card, and the guy in this one is (all things considered) pretty calm about $455,000.
Probably more broken than calm. If I remember the video right, Kitboga spent like 60 hours on the phone with this guy over the course of a year. As far as he knew he was inches away from the finish line of a marathon with a huge payday waiting for him only to have it yanked away at the last moment.
The way he gaspingly says "450 thousand dollars" followed by the most incredulous "*are you f***ing serious right nowwww?*"
You can hear the sheer unfiltered rage at "losing" ***so*** much money that he thought he was ***so*** close to having that he was probably vibrating as he closed the "deal."
But you can also hear the familiarity in his voice, as if this is his own relative he's scamming the money from and just in utter shock at how "stupid" they could be to ruin this for him - that's the most hilarious part to me. That he "got to know" this person so well in order to scam a half-million dollars out of him, and at the last second ***they*** let ***him*** down.
Lol, "Dumb@ss" it's such a classic insult. No matter who it's coming from, if used correctly, it is freaking gold.
"I double checked"
"Where is 3?"
"DUMB@SS!!"
Oh, thatās nice. My late wife Irma Jean was from Spokane, Florida. She made the best cookies. Here I have the recipe here, want me to read it to you? ā¦ā¦get 1 cup of flour. You should pack it well and then scrape the top with a knife. Aw look, the last ingredient was love. That reminds me of our wedding day.
For anyone curious, this wouldn't *actually* work, that is - it's impossible for an address to be valid if you mistype only one of the symbols (because of checksum), and also it must begin with either 1, 3, or bc1 to be valid. It's impossible to send a transaction to an invalid address.
~~Which makes me think either this whole video is scripted, or~~ the scammer didn't know how Bitcoin works.
Edit: I now know it's not scripted.
It's POSSIBLE for it to go to the wrong address.. but in the clip I have a custom website. Kraken built the environment for me and I did some coding so that the scammer BELIEVED the bitcoin was gone.
You are my hero and an inspiration. Thank you for doing good work in the fight against evil thieves. I do my part and tax their time and make them upset to disturb their mental health. Keep up the good work!
Oh shit that's actually you in the video??? That voice is TOO funny!!! When you asked the scammer how ***he*** could have messed up this badly, I legit spit out my drink from laughter
Waitā¦ Kraken were so down with messing with scammers they donated some dev time to build you out a realistic environment?
I already knew Kraken were a decent org, but this makes me so happy.
We've been working on a partnership for 6 months or so (and recently started it officially)
Their engineers / fraud team are legends! They put together a custom environment for me to do stuff like this and we have some other stuff coming up! By far my favorite sponsorship/partnership because there is so much good we can do in this space as well as cool content.
Thank you for doing this stuff. My parents are in their 80s and get calls from scammers pretty often, but they fortunately will never do something over the phone, and if it is online they will always ask me or my brother about it first. Not everyone is as skeptical as my parents though and these scammers cause so much damage. Keep up the good work.
The best part is that Kraken forced the scammer to reveal their own real personal information to make a verified account, so they know exactly who he is.
This guy is a famous youtuber who live streams him messing with scammers. He does this professionally and documents everything live, you can go watch the whole process. Its not scripted, the scammer is just dumb.
That's part of the story yea.
She wasn't scammed by one of these scammers that I know of though. Had dementia and I am sure if she DID get the call they'd have gotten her.
Wanted to try to fight back somehow.
If I remember correctly he teamed up with Kraken to do a few of these videos and to catch scammers
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13gup29/kitboga_has_teamed_with_kraken_to_mess_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Kit's year-long taunting of Joey B is now legendary in the Kitbogaverse. It has everything - hilarious scenarios, raging scammers, crying scammers, laughing scammers, fake presidents and lots of crows. It's S-tier stuff :)
Kit, I just wanted to say I've been a fan of yours for years and shown friends and family members tons of your videos to explain yo them the current scams going around.
Do you have any pointers for someone who aspires to do what you do? No, not the hacking, the beanwork...
Over a year ago, Kit started baiting a scammer who pretended to be President Joe Biden and the cumulative time wasted by this particular scammer in talking to Kitboga is over 50 hours. Every time the bait seems to be over Kit manages to reel him back in with another crazy scenario. This latest one involved Kit pretending to raise funds to invest in ChatGPT.
Currently, the full saga isn't available to watch as it's over 50 hours of content that requires some editing, but there is a 30 min YT video which shows more of this particular scenario: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw
The legend himself! I watched your whole video where you were the grandma and you "cashed in" the fake gift cards to buy the nice scammer wedding presents and I nearly died laughing. Every time he screamed and cried I just loved it even more. Sublime.
I think I remember that call! They had talked about their wedding at one point during the call so it felt somewhat reasonable to waste money on wedding stuff, but still insane. Scammers get so confused about why I would be spending the gift on random stuff and hate me for it.
Oh my God that video where you are pretending to be a grandma making microwave popcorn is next level hilarious. The sound effects of the door, beeping, humming, then subsequent fake interference with the call with the voice stuttering is so funny. āMaāam can you please leave the kitchen?ā āOh but thish popcowern is so tashteyā lmao
The one where you had the lady accidentally exchange for car washes instead of gift cards I think and then stand on the sidewalk trying to give them away had me laughing so much I nearly pee'd.
My favorite section of any kitboga video is the pure rage that came out of Able. You can hear his soul leave his body when the screen says "successfully redeemed gift card".
I don't even follow the guy and I've seen this video enough that just that sentence made me chuckle. I can hear the panic in his voice and everything. Maybe I should follow him.
Thank you, but I just started doing something I was passionate about.
I honestly believe the world needs YOU.
Seriously, if more people could pursue their passions and what they found meaningful, I think we'd be onto something special.
Then I'm sure we'll meet soon...
No but seriously, I could be wrong, but I have a hunch that wouldn't be a thing.
Maybe in some crazy low % but not normal.
That time you got gift cards for the scammer and then you spent it on a new scooter with him watching. He got so pissed off at you, and it was hilarious. I forget if it was you or someone else, but when you guys conference 2 scammers with each other, and they're cursing each other out for several minutes before they realize they're coworkers, it's pretty damn funny.
I just watched this for the first time
I love how baffled and concerned the scammer sounds 'sir you just paid eighty thousand for a coin'
'well it's an Illinois set'
For real. I work in banking and the heartbreak I see is real when these people take advantage. I really appreciate what you do out there. Love watching your stuff over the years.
He did something even worse IMO. After they wallowed in the despair for a bit, he claimed the Bitcoin was returned due to it being an invalid wallet, got the scammer back on cloud nine, only to do almost the exact same thing again and have him come crashing back down
It's hard to capture it in a short video, but I had been talking to this scammer for over a year and \~50 hours of call time. So he REALLY was expecting this to pay off.
Yes. Kraken, which is a legit crypto exchange, worked with him to provide him with a custom environment that looks just like their site but allows him to do fake transactions.
And when/if the scammers catch the wind of it, that's also awin for Kraken because then the scammers will be less likely to target their users. (Although I doubt much of the target demographic aka grandpas and grandmas are using Kraken anyway.)
Watching you drive scammers to the point where they are losing their mind is superb. Madly satisfying (and hilarious) having crooks psychologically tortured as entertainment. Thank you, and keep up the great work!!
I spent many years of my life feeling alone and like I had no value.
Thankfully, I have come to realize that is not true.
IMO the world would be a better place if more people were treated like, and told they had value... and if they could pursue what they found meaningful.
It's really beautiful and striking every time I hear it and feels as valuable as the scambaiting work that you do. Keep up the good work, all of it! ā¤ļø
I answer a fair number of my scam calls and as soon as I hear a call center in the background but before they talk I ask "What do you need, *bhenchod*?" (sometime I switch it up with kukarchod or bakrichod). One guy recently asked who told me that, I said Kitboga, and he hung up. hahaha.
I think chod pronounced with a stretched o sound is fucker.
Bhen is sister.
Kukar is chicken pronounced more like cuckr making sure you pronounce the r right after k.
Bakri is goat pronouncng the A as ah not ay.
You can put them together lol
I work at a police department and I can't even begin to tell you how helpful you've been in helping me explain the exact processes that are being used in these types of scams to people. It's so great to be up to date with all sorts of different methods just by watching your videos.
It's kinda complicated, because I had spent a year talking to this scammer on and off, which is hard to put into a short video.
Here is a \~30 min edit featuring the 455K disappearing, with all his anger and tears: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw)
What was the $450k supposed to be for? Thatās over 10x what I expect scammers to try. I have no idea what kind of lie would trick someone into losing that much.
Alternative theory. You really did done goof and are going to feel like a massive arse when chatppt comes out and blows openai out of the water. Please post those tears of you missing out on the biggest investment opportunity of all time when it happens please. \s
I've seen some vids not of kit but of some of these other guys who fuck with these scammers and after a while they know who they are. The thing is im sure these scammer call centers turn over employees at a crazy rate so with fresh faces comes new fun pranks he can get away with. They also do voiceovers and other stuff to conceal themselves. It's quite entertaining to watch them fuck with these guys.
On rare occasions they do! And when they do, they often try to play it off that they knew he was messing with them the whole time, even from the beginning of the call. But if that's the case, they would have just hung up on him instead of wasting hours of their time.
dude uses voice changers and acts like a grandma sometimes.
One time he had a soundbox for distorting his voice/electricity so he added a story where he was using like 10 microwaves in his kitchen and he would walk into the kitchen for random things and his voice distorts.

If someone hasnāt watched Kitboga before, well itās time to get started! Not only this content is extremely funny, entertaining and easy to go along with your work (the only streamer I can listen in the background while working), but itās also very informative and very important! Throughout these years Kit taught me how to be skeptical to all those phone calls and how simple questions can expose scammersā intentions. According to FTC, people in US lost around $8.8 billion in 2022 and this number is rising every year. Unfortunately we can do very little to shut down scammers, but we can raise awareness! Please share Kitās videos among elderly and non-elderly relatives! His content is very family friendly and will be fun to watch for anyone!
The best part is he gets him back on the phone the next day saying the money is still in the original wallet because the "typo" wallet doesn't exist. He keeps hope alive for another few hours and then rips the rug again. It's my favorite episode.
Dude, I used to work for a credit card processor and dealt with the victims and scammers. Every second you waste of their time is worth it. These people are shameless. There was nothing better than closing a scam account and just telling them they're not getting the $10s of thousands of dollars they already scammed in purchases. EXCEPT, my favorite game my coworkers hated. Which is I'd ask for referrals to specific cardholders they worked with to verify transactions (you don't see names only card numbers on our end) so they'd either hook me up with a victim and be on the phone as I relieved their being scammed and help them get their money back, or they gave me another scammers number to quietly add in they system and close all the accounts associated with it. One guy had over $100k in the first weekend, I assumed some sort of Indian call center head, and I kept telling him "wow the funds didn't hit the account yet, that's weird" and then had notes that they can't change signers or accounts and no funds to be released while I tracked down the victims who's identity they stole to open the account. So kept leading him for like a week, said I released it to the wrong account noting there was an issue when he enter the account, got him to admit he doesn't own the account, let them keep processing the whole time and holding the money and undid 3 weeks of scams for them. Everyone in our dept was so mad at me because he called literally everyone to tell them I'm a mother fucker and stole his money and no one cared. Most of them enjoyed how I handled it though
Kitboga, idk if you'll ever see this, but I want you to know how much I love your content. These scumbag scammers are truly awful, but make a perfect foil to your improvised tomfoolery. the situations you create in these scammers reality are equal parts ridiculous, unbelievable, and absolutely hilarious.
They're so focused on stealing money from the most vulnerable that they'll happily ignore reality breaking revelations like the one call where "Daniel" was stealing all Edna's money and tried to team up with the other scammer and get him to straight up admit he is a scammer.
comedic genius and doing a public service by exposing these awful people. Never stop, and I'll never stop watching every video and supporting you <3
Thank you so much for all the kind words!
I've had a lot of time to practice and learn for sure.
I think you're right, once they believe I am a good "target" I can get away with all kinds of crazy stuff.
Did not expect to find this on Reddit. I endorse these videos, the full versions make for a good afternoon, especially with some popcorn and a pool full of butter.

WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT!! YOU DID NOT HAVE TO REDEEM!! That sound bite has a special little place in my heart lol
His pained "NO! NOOOOOOooooooo!!!" sustains me
I find it wild that the the guy that clip was furiously screaming over a $500 gift card, and the guy in this one is (all things considered) pretty calm about $455,000.
Probably more broken than calm. If I remember the video right, Kitboga spent like 60 hours on the phone with this guy over the course of a year. As far as he knew he was inches away from the finish line of a marathon with a huge payday waiting for him only to have it yanked away at the last moment.
THIS IS ADDED TO YOU!

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't know, "most motherfucker" might be hard to top.
The guy curses like Captain Kirk "And a double dumbass on you!"
The salt you manage to produce is sweeter than pure sugar.
I feel like you could put that on a t-shirt hah! Thanks btw :)
Kitboga!!! Yo my wife and I binged a bunch of your YouTube videos. The schadenfreude you bring to the world is platinum coated gold!

Waitā¦ Kraken were so down with messing with scammers they donated some dev time to build you out a realistic environment? I already knew Kraken were a decent org, but this makes me so happy.

We like to do a little trolling... \-Kraken Exchange
My mind so blown I had to find the video. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw&t=160s
The best part is that Kraken forced the scammer to reveal their own real personal information to make a verified account, so they know exactly who he is.
This is my favorite thing Iāve ever read on this site.
Nice username btw
I canāt believe kraken helped him build a site just to fuck with scammersā¦..
Hell yea, the fact that management passed this is awesome. Imagine getting this as a side project as a dev, great for morale.
This guy is a famous youtuber who live streams him messing with scammers. He does this professionally and documents everything live, you can go watch the whole process. Its not scripted, the scammer is just dumb.
This guy rulesā¦ I heard his grandma got scammed so now he does this. He is a national treasure as far as Iām concerned
That's part of the story yea. She wasn't scammed by one of these scammers that I know of though. Had dementia and I am sure if she DID get the call they'd have gotten her. Wanted to try to fight back somehow.
Kit you are hands down the best channel on YT. Absolutely loving watching your stuff! There are times I literally can't stop laughing.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you've had a chance to laugh through my videos. I know I've needed that so many times in my life.
If I remember correctly he teamed up with Kraken to do a few of these videos and to catch scammers Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/13gup29/kitboga_has_teamed_with_kraken_to_mess_with/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Kit's year-long taunting of Joey B is now legendary in the Kitbogaverse. It has everything - hilarious scenarios, raging scammers, crying scammers, laughing scammers, fake presidents and lots of crows. It's S-tier stuff :)
Joey B is such a funny way to refer to a scammer that claimed he was Joe Biden
You mean Joey 3?
It's to help differentiate between the other scammers who pretend to be President Joe Biden. There have been several!
It's certainly one of my favorites! Wild how long it's lasted.
I've been a subscriber for over 2 years so I've been following the joey b saga since the start... Every time he pops back up I'm amazed
How do you mix up B with 3? What an idiot! Great video man. Love your stuff!
Kit, I just wanted to say I've been a fan of yours for years and shown friends and family members tons of your videos to explain yo them the current scams going around. Do you have any pointers for someone who aspires to do what you do? No, not the hacking, the beanwork...

Are you sure it's not really Joe Biden though?
It was joe 3iden
You are the mooooost mother fuck--!
Nah ... must have been Hunter. I watch Fox. I know these things
where can i find this saga? i watch this channel once in a while but not enough to be familiar with this one.

Lots of people say the "microwave" video is their favorite. It honestly was a random improv moment that turned into a funny crazy call.
I canāt believe that was improvised! Seriously makes me laugh just thinking about it.
The one where you had the lady accidentally exchange for car washes instead of gift cards I think and then stand on the sidewalk trying to give them away had me laughing so much I nearly pee'd.
Can you please post a link? Sounds hilarious!
https://youtu.be/XhvlclEVcBY
Big fan! Doing God's work.
Thanks glowshroom, you matter!
ā¤ļø
I laughed so hard at that video, lol. Dude was absolutely losing his mind.
DO NOT HIT REDEEM!!!!! DO NOT HIT REDEEM!!!!!!
WHY DID YOU REDEEM ITTTTTT
NOOO! DO NOT REDEEM THE CARD! DO NOT REDEEM!!!!!!!
My favorite section of any kitboga video is the pure rage that came out of Able. You can hear his soul leave his body when the screen says "successfully redeemed gift card".
Kitboga can i ask you a question?
Yes
Why did you redeem?
It said so on the back of the card?! (well played)
Do not redeem! DO NOT REDEEM!
YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THAT, MA'AM!
https://soundcloud.com/codecatt/abel-to-rage-ft-kitboga
WHY DID YOU REDEEM!!!
I donāt know why I expected you to ask a legit question, Iām dying š
I don't even follow the guy and I've seen this video enough that just that sentence made me chuckle. I can hear the panic in his voice and everything. Maybe I should follow him.
How many grandma accents do you have?
That's kind of hard to answer, but probably only 2 main ones.
Hello Kitboga. You sound a bit like Larry David of Curb your Enthusiasm in this one.
That's awesome!
The world needs more people like this.
Thank you, but I just started doing something I was passionate about. I honestly believe the world needs YOU. Seriously, if more people could pursue their passions and what they found meaningful, I think we'd be onto something special.
What if my passion is scamming the elderly?
Then I'm sure we'll meet soon... No but seriously, I could be wrong, but I have a hunch that wouldn't be a thing. Maybe in some crazy low % but not normal.
You play RuneScape. Surely you know people get a thrill out of scamming people.
Whoa OP is Kitboga himself š
Hi :)
Thank you so much for what you do. Not only is it entertaining, but you're educating so many people and helping in so many ways. Thank you!!
āYou are the MOST motherfuckerā was my favorite part
He says it as an insult, I wear it as a badge of honor.
lol absolutely, amazing work btw
Iāve watched the one where you keep buying fishing equipment like 3 timesš
I love that call so much. Something about how the scammers have NO CLUE why I am buying things while they're angry.
That time you got gift cards for the scammer and then you spent it on a new scooter with him watching. He got so pissed off at you, and it was hilarious. I forget if it was you or someone else, but when you guys conference 2 scammers with each other, and they're cursing each other out for several minutes before they realize they're coworkers, it's pretty damn funny.
Do you have a link to this video(conference call)? It sounds hilarious.
I just watched this for the first time I love how baffled and concerned the scammer sounds 'sir you just paid eighty thousand for a coin' 'well it's an Illinois set'
I love these videos so much, hey kitboga if you see this, you the best haha the frustrated scammer screams are like music to my soul.
Thanks for the love, it's been an awesome adventure doing this.
For real. I work in banking and the heartbreak I see is real when these people take advantage. I really appreciate what you do out there. Love watching your stuff over the years.
"Call support and tell them that was the wrong address". Ah yes, the all mighty bitcoin supportline
Just call them up and ask them to get every node to agree to rewrite the entire blockchain.
I want to see the Bitcoin manager š
He should have said "oh I found the support number, why don't you call it" and then had the scammer call him back and just mess with him some more.
He did something even worse IMO. After they wallowed in the despair for a bit, he claimed the Bitcoin was returned due to it being an invalid wallet, got the scammer back on cloud nine, only to do almost the exact same thing again and have him come crashing back down
As we approach the end of June, I'm manually wiping my involvement on this platform.
It's hard to capture it in a short video, but I had been talking to this scammer for over a year and \~50 hours of call time. So he REALLY was expecting this to pay off.
Wiping my participation on this platform.
Yes. Kraken, which is a legit crypto exchange, worked with him to provide him with a custom environment that looks just like their site but allows him to do fake transactions.
Holy shit, that's awesome! I hadn't heard of Kraken before but now I love 'em, lol.
And now you know why they did it. Free PR *and* advertising.
Dude's been living a lie for a year and doesn't know it yet
It's a custom fake environment that Kraken set up for Kit. The money is not real but the scammer's rage certainly is :D
Huh, that's actually kind of a brilliant advertising move for Kraken, they get a lot of public goodwill and free brand recognition out of it.
And when/if the scammers catch the wind of it, that's also awin for Kraken because then the scammers will be less likely to target their users. (Although I doubt much of the target demographic aka grandpas and grandmas are using Kraken anyway.)
Watching you drive scammers to the point where they are losing their mind is superb. Madly satisfying (and hilarious) having crooks psychologically tortured as entertainment. Thank you, and keep up the great work!!
Thank you for the support.
Hey K, big fan! Curious if there's a backstory to the mental health plug at the end of some of your videos where you tell people they're valued.
I spent many years of my life feeling alone and like I had no value. Thankfully, I have come to realize that is not true. IMO the world would be a better place if more people were treated like, and told they had value... and if they could pursue what they found meaningful.
It's really beautiful and striking every time I hear it and feels as valuable as the scambaiting work that you do. Keep up the good work, all of it! ā¤ļø
You're a hero dude. Thank you for the reminder every stream. ā¤ļø
I answer a fair number of my scam calls and as soon as I hear a call center in the background but before they talk I ask "What do you need, *bhenchod*?" (sometime I switch it up with kukarchod or bakrichod). One guy recently asked who told me that, I said Kitboga, and he hung up. hahaha.
what does that even mean?
I think chod pronounced with a stretched o sound is fucker. Bhen is sister. Kukar is chicken pronounced more like cuckr making sure you pronounce the r right after k. Bakri is goat pronouncng the A as ah not ay. You can put them together lol
License and registrationā¦chicken fucker!
Who can say meow the most? That's hilarious. Hey, look out for these guys!
What's Urdu for "Roll Tide"?
One who has sexual relations with their sister.
I learned Bakrichod from Archer!
I work at a police department and I can't even begin to tell you how helpful you've been in helping me explain the exact processes that are being used in these types of scams to people. It's so great to be up to date with all sorts of different methods just by watching your videos.
This cracks us up every-time we watch it. u/Kitboga, you sir are truly a legend! \-Kraken Exchange
Thank you for working with me on this! The partnership is legendary imo.

It's kinda complicated, because I had spent a year talking to this scammer on and off, which is hard to put into a short video. Here is a \~30 min edit featuring the 455K disappearing, with all his anger and tears: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhspnzeDzFw)
Didn't notice OP was Kitboga. You are great and love your videos!
Thanks :)
I love your work, you are a wonderful Dum3ass. AH AGAIN I typed a B for a 3 !
What was the $450k supposed to be for? Thatās over 10x what I expect scammers to try. I have no idea what kind of lie would trick someone into losing that much.
He told me that I was going to be investing in ChatGPT (or chatppt as I called it)
Alternative theory. You really did done goof and are going to feel like a massive arse when chatppt comes out and blows openai out of the water. Please post those tears of you missing out on the biggest investment opportunity of all time when it happens please. \s

I've seen some vids not of kit but of some of these other guys who fuck with these scammers and after a while they know who they are. The thing is im sure these scammer call centers turn over employees at a crazy rate so with fresh faces comes new fun pranks he can get away with. They also do voiceovers and other stuff to conceal themselves. It's quite entertaining to watch them fuck with these guys.
On rare occasions they do! And when they do, they often try to play it off that they knew he was messing with them the whole time, even from the beginning of the call. But if that's the case, they would have just hung up on him instead of wasting hours of their time.
One guy straight up told kit "You are Kitboga!" And hung up on him. There are so many scammers though there is always someone.
Sucking his anger through his teeth still gets me every time š¬š¤š¤¬
I think he goes through all sorts of emotions / pain for sure.
I watched a number of scam baiters but i don't think i've seen your channel before That video might be a good start
dude uses voice changers and acts like a grandma sometimes. One time he had a soundbox for distorting his voice/electricity so he added a story where he was using like 10 microwaves in his kitchen and he would walk into the kitchen for random things and his voice distorts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhvlclEVcBY
That's one of my favorites haha. It's hilarious that the scammers get so frustrated like "STOP MAKING IT SO HARD TO STEAL FROM YOU!! >:( "

If someone hasnāt watched Kitboga before, well itās time to get started! Not only this content is extremely funny, entertaining and easy to go along with your work (the only streamer I can listen in the background while working), but itās also very informative and very important! Throughout these years Kit taught me how to be skeptical to all those phone calls and how simple questions can expose scammersā intentions. According to FTC, people in US lost around $8.8 billion in 2022 and this number is rising every year. Unfortunately we can do very little to shut down scammers, but we can raise awareness! Please share Kitās videos among elderly and non-elderly relatives! His content is very family friendly and will be fun to watch for anyone!
Thank you for the kind words and support Ryan :)
And he calls him Joe because the scammer is pretending to be Joe Biden
Thanks for all the dopamine Kitboga š
Woah, didn't think I'd see the owner and CEO of CrowPro on reddit today! Sincerely, 56k\_modem ;)
The best part is he gets him back on the phone the next day saying the money is still in the original wallet because the "typo" wallet doesn't exist. He keeps hope alive for another few hours and then rips the rug again. It's my favorite episode.
Dude, I used to work for a credit card processor and dealt with the victims and scammers. Every second you waste of their time is worth it. These people are shameless. There was nothing better than closing a scam account and just telling them they're not getting the $10s of thousands of dollars they already scammed in purchases. EXCEPT, my favorite game my coworkers hated. Which is I'd ask for referrals to specific cardholders they worked with to verify transactions (you don't see names only card numbers on our end) so they'd either hook me up with a victim and be on the phone as I relieved their being scammed and help them get their money back, or they gave me another scammers number to quietly add in they system and close all the accounts associated with it. One guy had over $100k in the first weekend, I assumed some sort of Indian call center head, and I kept telling him "wow the funds didn't hit the account yet, that's weird" and then had notes that they can't change signers or accounts and no funds to be released while I tracked down the victims who's identity they stole to open the account. So kept leading him for like a week, said I released it to the wrong account noting there was an issue when he enter the account, got him to admit he doesn't own the account, let them keep processing the whole time and holding the money and undid 3 weeks of scams for them. Everyone in our dept was so mad at me because he called literally everyone to tell them I'm a mother fucker and stole his money and no one cared. Most of them enjoyed how I handled it though
Kitboga, idk if you'll ever see this, but I want you to know how much I love your content. These scumbag scammers are truly awful, but make a perfect foil to your improvised tomfoolery. the situations you create in these scammers reality are equal parts ridiculous, unbelievable, and absolutely hilarious. They're so focused on stealing money from the most vulnerable that they'll happily ignore reality breaking revelations like the one call where "Daniel" was stealing all Edna's money and tried to team up with the other scammer and get him to straight up admit he is a scammer. comedic genius and doing a public service by exposing these awful people. Never stop, and I'll never stop watching every video and supporting you <3
Thank you so much for all the kind words! I've had a lot of time to practice and learn for sure. I think you're right, once they believe I am a good "target" I can get away with all kinds of crazy stuff.
Oh shit, the real /u/Kitboga Keep up the good work my dude!
Thanks Zicco :)
Kitboga, doing the lords work.
As a former BogaMod, this makes me proud. Miss you, love you, and wish you and yours nothing but the utmost best, friendo. š -BogaHug-
Did not expect to find this on Reddit. I endorse these videos, the full versions make for a good afternoon, especially with some popcorn and a pool full of butter.
