Must be a tough balance. By posting this video he blows this process since the scammers will now know the details.

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. AIs creating jobs for AIs to keep (server) employment at 100%
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.
There is no training data ;)
Re: I trapped scammers in an impossible maze [video]
#83Can someone explain how the scammers are pulled in in the first place? That is, what's the 'funnel' for this? I get that this is amusing and a good way to waste scammers' time, but where did he originally find the scammers?
So, I'm not sure but I think what's going on is that a scammer calls and asks the "victim" (in this case, Kitboga) to transfer funds into one of their Bitcoin wallet addresses. This can be done via a Bitcoin ATM which will then print out a receipt which the scammer asks the victim for a picture of (see [0]). As Kitboga says, the scam normally has to end at this point because the scammer can easily verify whether the…
Why would victims be calling in on the scammer's behalf then? I would assume that would only happen if a real victim somehow has a receipt that ties into Kitboga's fake system right?

#84I love Kitboda's videos. The one thing that strikes me all the time is how arrogant, smug, full of themselves these scammers always sound. They do profoundly believe they're oh-so-intelligent and don't hesitate to make fun of the old people they (think they) are speaking to. Despicable scum of this earth. Thanks to Kitboga for fighting the good fight and it's great to see banks and crypto-exchanges immediately freezi…
Arrogant and smug to one, a confident man to another!

#85Not 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.
That couple hundred may be a week or more salary, depending on where they live.

#86It's really funny, but I can't tell how he funneled in scammers only. Seems just as likely he just has poor people.
> has poor people
With $1M+ wallets? I do not think poor means what you think it means. Granted, his mention of that was nearer to the end of the video.

In regards to the arrogance... I imagine they have to be like that in order to be able to sleep at night, they justify the scamming by saying (mostly to themselves) things like the West stole from the developing countries, so this is them stealing back, and they have to believe the victims deserve it so they can, I repeat, sleep at night. Another justification might be "Look at this stupid moron, I won't feel bad stealing from them because someone would inevitably do, since they're so dumb!", i.e. they have to believe the victims are dumb in order to convince themselves of the previous sentence.
Maybe it's a chicken and egg issue though, maybe only scumbag jerkoffs are attracted to this kind of scam-call-center work. Then again maybe most humans are easily manipulable that they go into such a call-center being a decent person and enter into a Stanford Prison Experiment situation...

In one of the screenshots, Kitboga's fake page promises them the equivalent of $11k in BTC.
Considering a lot of these scams originate from countries with low wages and high unemployment, not really surprising people would be willing to waste a few days for the promise of a year's salary or more.

They don'w own this bitcoin wallet of course. They need receipt to attribute payment to them and get comission. They verify transaction and get into the loop.
Re: I trapped scammers in an impossible maze [video]
#90Can these people actually be this stupid? I am having a hard time believing it. I would expect scammers to be more aware of the possibility of deceitful behavior by others. Incredible if true, but hard to believe...
The cleverer scammers, or ones who think "This is bullshit" don't make it into the video...
I wonder if someone could do a "background check" on the domain name of the maze website and figure out that it must be a trap...
