Not much sympathy for these scammers but I do wonder how desperate some of them have to be to waste so much time on a couple hundred bitcoin max.
“A couple hundred bitcoin” is worth around $7,000,000 USD

#62"Why did you redeem it?!" Kitboga is a youtube national treasure.
I know so many foreign curse words thanks to him.

#63You are all laughing, but I was just presented with an impossible captcha trying to login into my OpenAI account, that I pay $20/month for. To solve the captcha, I need to click the puzzle 80 (!) times, and if I make a mistake, I should start everything anew. That's totally not funny. Had to cancel the subscription. Anyway, Phind is faster and better quality.
What OS and browser are you using? Give me a couple of minutes and I'll get ChatGPT to write aa script that does it for you.
I don't know if you're being satiric about it but I found your reply hilarious.
maybe the captcha was made with chatGPT to begin with.

Scamming people is a multibillion $/year "market". Aside from Kitboga, there's another channel Scammer Payback that dismantle (sometimes, most of the time disrupt) these large call centers that exist only to scam people.

And that's the real reason we need fusion power. To power all the incredibly dumb shit that we layer on top of other layers of dumb.
If only we had an AI that could clean all of that up for us. Sadly, I'm only half joking. I need a beer.

#67Classic scambaiting, reminds me of 419 Eater.
Is this the guy who got a scammer to carve a wooden keyboard? Legendary

This looks like the "scambaiter" actually scammed an artist into making some pretty sweet art under the guise of a scolarship. Am I missing something, or is this actual fraud?

Its part of the same reason so many fall for scams in the first place. They start spending the money (or whatever the reward is) before they have it and ignore any red flags to the contrary.

#69The "do not redeem" video is the Kitboga's gift to humanity. Scamming old people out of their retirement is the worst thing someone can do. I have no empathy for those scammers.
I thought a lot of them don't even know they are running scams, and that is all coming down from the top. They are barely paid phone workers just doing scripts and doing what they are told just so they can feed their families.
Don't bring white guilt into this. Desperation doesn't excuse depravity, nor should it.
On the other end of the phone call are people being forced into the same position of desperation through deception. That's their reward for a lifetime of presumably-honest work.
The noble savages aren't that dumb either. These aren't credit default swaps so abstracted from the underlying assets that the product's toxicity is unrecognizable at the nth degree. They're directly manipulating people into draining their accounts. At some level, something about it should feel off.

#70It could've been funny, but every second of this video reminds me of my own experiences of dealing with the government services.
I love one of the top comments on the video: > I love how Kit has evolved over the years to find out the best way of making scammers go crazy is to treat them basically the same way Comcast treats their customers.
hahahahaha
