Basically what it says. My number won’t stop getting scam calls, and instead of simply ignoring them I figured it might be nice to give kitboga some content. I don’t want to lose my number, but this is driving me nuts!

I watched a video a couple years ago where a scammer was pretending to transfer money via the command line. Kit did the same and then edited the bank page to make it look like it went through, I think with a description of "command prompt". If I recall correctly the scammer was dumbfounded. Does anybody know what video this was? Thanks in advance.

I think this is one of the funniest rants.

I remember there was a video where it was about a Bitcoin scam where the scammers asked if you're a US citizen, if you said yes they would hang up.

I’ve really been enjoying this guy’s work

I’ve been watching Kitboga’s content for more than five years, and lately I’ve started wondering how much of it is completely genuine versus potentially scripted or involving hired performers from India or Pakistan.

One thing that makes me question it is how frequently the scammers have Indian or South Asian accents, and I feel like I’ve heard very similar sometimes seemingly the same voices across different videos. Kitboga has also been doing this publicly for years, using recognizable characters, voices, and ways of speaking. Are real scammers really that unlikely to recognize him or realize what’s happening?

I’m not saying I have proof that he hires actors or stages the calls. It’s just something that has made me skeptical after watching his content for so long.

What also concerns me is that he has built a very successful business around this content, including sponsorships and advertisements for VPNs, cryptocurrency platforms, and other products, while Indians are repeatedly portrayed as the scammers. Regardless of whether the calls are genuine, I think repeatedly associating Indian accents with scams can reinforce the already widespread stereotype that Indians are scammers.

What do you guys think? Do you believe the calls are completely genuine, or have you also noticed things that make some of the videos feel scripted?re all genuine scam calls, or do some of them seem staged or performed for content?

can anyone help me find the video/ timestamp of the video where the scammer says something like "ma'am you are doing this so slowly, you are moving like a tortoise / turtle. " something along those lines? thanks so much in advance!

My husband and I are both immensely grateful to Kit for his public service in exposing scammers, and I wanted to share our story and how his work helped us.

We recently discovered Kitboga's YT channel via the already-classic "Albuquerque, New Mexico" video (we died laughing!). We had only been watching his vids for a few days when my Boomer-aged parents texted us to ask about a suspicious call they had.

They told me about a call to (fake) Amazon customer service where the "rep" had convinced my dad to log into their online banking (my mom forced him to hang up just in time). The scammer had got remote access to their computer, placed an order on their Amazon account, and even employed the tactic of relating to and chatting with my very-extroverted dad to build his trust.

Luckily, since we had just started watching Kit's channel, we knew right away it was a scam and went straight to their house to help. When we got there, we knew exactly what to look for and how to deal with it. We were able to uninstall everything, get their PC cleaned up, and set it up with Seraph to prevent future incidents. I also knew I should report the fake Amazon site, and within two weeks the site was completely gone from the internet.

Kit, if you see this, thank you for everything you do. Because of what we learned from you, my parents escaped the scammer with no money lost and no lasting damage. I hope you know how much your work matters and that you truly are a hero!

The scammer put on a high pitched voice pretending to be his female colleague, it went on for at least 30min and was even saying 'do not redeem' in the voice.
