To make sure grandmas like his don’t get conned, he scams the scammers

Kitboga, a popular Twitch and YouTube streamer known for his “scam baiting” antics, aims to protect vulnerable individuals like his grandmother from scammers. He engages with fraudsters under various disguises, wasting their time to prevent them from targeting real victims. His motivation stems from personal experience, as his grandmother was previously exploited by scammers. Kitboga’s methods involve engaging scammers in long conversations, during which he often exposes their tactics live to his followers. He also provides educational content on recognizing and avoiding scams. Kitboga’s efforts have not only entertained but educated a large audience, contributing to a broader awareness and prevention of internet scams. His work highlights a significant issue, as Americans lost a record $12.5 billion to internet crimes last year, according to the FBI. Despite the risky nature of his activities, Kitboga continues to devise new strategies to outsmart scammers, making significant strides in both preventive measures and public education regarding cyber fraud.
