Lol you could also set it up where when they call it says "voice IP is not supported please call back on a supported line" so you can collect and report there real phone numbers
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.
I hate how true this is. I spent the first few weeks after moving into a new place trying to get comcast to do anything and in the end I just got some really nice lady who told me I did everything I needed to do a week before.
Also Arizona Department of Economic Security. Omg. I hope you never need medical insurance. Two hours for every call and get a different answer every time. Total incompetence.
The crazy thing about it is that the automated “customer support” tree is so realistic because it’s only slightly worse than real automated customer support services.
My mom used to hand scammer calls to my dad who had memory issues. He loved talking to strangers, so it was a win win. You'd be surprised how similar these conversations are to those.
@@simonfrederiksen104 "I hear you like Steam Gift Cards. I have plenty of them, about $2,000... but, you'll have to make a sacrifice. You'll have to genuinely help this old lady with her bank account. If you cannot help her, then the gift cards will go to the old lady. Make your choice."
My favorite part of this whole thing is it will never accidentally get an innocent person. If you aren’t trying to scam and steal, NONE of this will affect you. Seriously, Thanks be to the Purple Pig that Kit is a good guy.
The most insane thing about this is that real customer service has somehow become so low quality that this feels realistic enough to not really set off any alarm bells.
This is so true, I waited for over an hour for ACTUAL TECH SUPPORT and then got transferred to another department and got put on hold for another hour and a half, then they just said they couldn't do it and hung up.
My own American government took two years to process an unemployment claim I had made, and then only gave me less than 10% of the back payments. Two years.
The brief delay with the “mailbox is full” part giving them enough time to start leaving a message and have some shred of hope only to have it immediately dashed was absolutely PERFECT. Brilliant timing. This was such a great scheme to waste their time, energy, and sanity!
HOLY SHIT!! Starting at 11:21 all the full voicemail errors, that's MY voice! I did a TTS project for Amazon back in 2011 and that voice is 100% me. How the hell did Kit even find it to use?!?!? I'm honored to be a tiny part of this video 😊❤
@@DeathStriker187well it's used for a lot of good things. The TTS for the Amazon Kindle, an android Healthcare robot named Grace. But this is pretty cool too😊
A close friend of mine took their own life because a scammer took a great amount of money from them. Some people have it already so hard, and to just have someone tip the scale even further for them is literally life-changing. Thank you for your work
That's really devastating. What gets me is that so many of the scammers do not even have any remorse for their evil crimes. I'm sorry that you lost your friend.
I love that no one could even mental gymnastics their way into saying this is cruel. It’s 100% voluntary on their end it makes it so much funnier to hear them lose their mind
the only thing that gives me pause is that some of these scammer rings actually trap and enslave people into scamming for them and they get beaten or tortured if they dont meet goals. people who do this willingly though get whats coming to them

@@spadesartYeah, the thick accents make this sad, since it's generally desperate poor people in developing countries scamming people in Western countries.

Seeing Kit cry because he was helping a woman through a horrible trial in her life is one of the most beautiful displays of compassion and humanity I've seen in a LONG time. Thank you, Kitboga.
Here's an idea if you plan to do this again: Take like 5 scammers at once and tell them that "due to time constraints" or some other corporate BS you'll have to address all their tickets at once, and watch them all scream over eachother.

The going from being on hold for an hour to talking to someone that immediately kicks you to someone else that isn't there and you only get their voicemail, then hangs up is an actual experience I've gone through a few times with legitimate customer support. You captured it pretty much perfectly.
I worked customer support for several internet/phone companies a few years ago. Some of the instructions, that MUST be followed to the t, include this in their customer care strategy. We know full well as technicians taking and making calls that the number we are transferring them to does not go anywhere. Ever. They just want the customer to get so frustrated that they give up. It also helps their call volume when they repeatedly call back, only to get lost in the same process. These companies typically have a monopoly of the service they provide, so they just don't care if the customer is mad or "I'm going somewhere else". Because they can't.
Scammers, for the large majority of the time, seem to be a very specific type of person. A lazy, uninspired, unintelligent, rude, and above all else greedy mockery of a human being. So, the prospect of an "easy" swindle was the perfect trap. Also, the fact that this was all largely automated is all the more pleasing. Really feels like you're starting to fight fire with fire here and I'm so happy to see it.
Computers give power to these creatures, and it's the same with cheaters/hackers on online multiplayer games: they aren't good at anything IRL so they have to boost their virtual presence artificially. So long as they see numbers going up on their screens, they don't care about how miserable they make others. At the end of the day, it's not about money; the thing these people truly desire is to have some form of control over their own lives and, specially, over the lives of others.
@@zaccampa4055 And best (worst) of all, if its an entire call center operation, they have a boss that takes a sizable cut, but won't pay them unless they're successful. So its quite literally working a job, except worse.

Wasting scammers time? Fantastic. Driving them insane? Even better. Helping the scammed? Bending the moral arc of the universe toward justice?! TEARS TO MY EYES! You're doing what I wish I could. Keep at it, my man. The world needs more people like you.
Yes. My compassionate heart feels for all the victims involved, even the scammers. I needed that reminder that this is about protecting our vulnerable ones.
Bro how can you not, you know? When I heard that old sad lady saying “transfer bitcoin” it shattered my heart. These scammers are cruel and they deserve no mercy. Kitboga mentioned he got into scam baiting because his grandma was scammed, I can imagine he’s going through all the emotions of that when speaking to a poor old woman being scammed for 6 years 💔💔
I'd think, as well, that relatively few tweaks could be used to make it look like different crypto/gift card redemption websites. With the likes of ai voice text to speech, it'd be easy to start a network of scambaiters and victims to redirect them down a spiral of 'redeem code' type phone options and/or using g their scripts against them building a bank of responses for common questions etc.
@@RandomytchannelGDI would assume that op knows that, they’re just comparing the scammers pressing airplane mode on their phone to pressing alt-f4 on their computer. It’s pretty obvious, really
This is one of the funniest and best idea’s you added to your stream!! Great job Kit and your to your entire team who assisted and worked on this with you, it’s amazing!! 💜💜💜
@@cindblank you are so kind!! Just trying to do my best to help support the best of the best!! You are so generous too, you give Kit and the community so much help and your time!! You are our rock star! ⭐️💜💜⭐️
Every minute the scammers are spending wasting their time on the site is one they're not using to take advantage of someone else. Doing that work my man.
that made me emotional too. She had been manipulated for 6 years. I'm so grateful for all the help and care Kit has committed to protecting these people.
Whenever i feel even the slightest hint of pity for these scammers, I always try to remember that they're actively ruining a lot of innocent people's lives. It's amazing that Kit is able to help those victims, directly or indirectly.
The older lady. You exposed a part of yourself you don't usually show. The part of you that drives you to do this with such unrelenting passion. I admire it. Keep at it. All legacies begin as jokes. I can't wait to see how your work evolves.
Very much agree, it is so sad sometimes when in other videos like this I have seen victims ignore the good guy because they are so confused by the scammer.
I'm so glad to see that scambaiters are becoming increasingly sophisticated & are able not just to waste the time of individual scammers or provoke them to rage, but are able to steal & destroy their data, disable their computers, and completely deconstruct an entire call center (criminal enterprise) at every level, including reporting them to service providers & various agencies, & directly stopping the scamming of individuals just in time to keep them from becoming victims. These things are all so impressive.
@@KitbogaShow We? You mean you have a team? Anyways, Happy Halloween, Kit. Your scammer videos always entertained me and made me laugh (especially the "Steve" "Watson" videos). 😊
God, I got chills when that poor woman appeared on the call, she sounded so scared and confused just saying “transfer bitcoin”. Knowing how ugly the scammers can get with their victims from your channel, I’m so glad she got help and it’s wonderful that your silly tool has turned into something that can genuinely protect and help vulnerable people.
Pretty awkward that you didn't read the text that stated that lady's voice was actually an actor, to protect the privacy of the lady. Atleast you know they have good voice actors though.
You guys are truly the good ones. In a world seemingly devoid of morals, it is refreshing to see people out there trying to help other people. Keep doing what you do and thanks for the laughs along the way! And thank you for helping our elderly!
Kit is literally the jigsaw of scambaiting, i’m glad you’re able to have fun with what you do and impact those you’re helping. You are truly doing good shit dude
Seriously at 15:03 when he said "It looks like your longest hold-time was one hour and ten minutes, are you willing to beat that record today?" I started howling in laughter!
These scammers are absolutely relentless. I get text messages every single day saying I've got a problem with a bank that I don't even have an account at, or with my UPS or FedEx package can't be tracked when I didn't order anything, things like that. FK these scammers. Keep doing your thing, Kit, you're AWESOME!!! 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
The great thing about this is that it removes whatever leverage these guys think they have, as opposed to ordinary scambait calls. In the calls they think Kitboga is an old person, even if they don't get any money and they waste their time, they can lock the (vm) computer and go to bed thinking the victim can't access their computer anymore without them. Here, they're completely resourceless. They have no way to get back at the service, real or imagined. No consolation. No one to threaten or insult. It's beautiful.
Kit and his team are true pioneers in the scambaiting space. Absolutely killing it with fresh ideas and staying one step ahead of the latest scams. Respect
Small contribution just to say thank you for what you're doing to help protect the elderly and vulnerable. Consuming literal days of their time, genius. Still getting tears thinking about you helping that woman at the end. Keep up the honorable work and I love your content.
@@johnnygotti1568 I have co-signed your co-signed donation, it is now as much mine and as it is yours as it is his, may kitboga enjoy our money and continue to produce this wonderful content.
Calling that one friend and getting their voicemail which has been full for a few years is enough to send me into a rage after wasting 60 seconds of my time. Getting that kind of message after hours and hours and thinking you're getting a live call representative is so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.
Another great aspect of all this is that there are literally hundreds of scams targeting crypto-users, and so it's not even that unrealistic that the same "victim" of the scammers is the victim of a shady or fake crypto exchange. So the scammers don't even know if they're dealing with a legit exchange or not, but have to pursue it regardless. When they're talking to Kitboga as a call-center rep and trying to bully him it's just not the same as when they're trying to bully victims (even Kitboga in character). The power dynamics are completely reversed, and the scammer knows it. The levels of irony are getting thick, and even if the scammer is aware of it, there's almost nothing they can do. They have to pursue it.
They're taking notes alright but US Cellular is already holding the trademark over Verizon's head going "nananana you will never get this! You will never get this!" While they work on busting that cage with a bigger buyout offer.
This is my favourite tale from Greek Mythology. Hades punished King Sisyphus by making him wait forever in a fake call centre queue to redeem non-existent Bitcoin.
Kit is such a sweetheart. So emotionally invested. ❤ I also admire that he doesn't shy away from becoming emotional in front of the camera and that he doesn't hide his tears. What an angel.
my heart broke when I heard that lady speaking, I'm so glad she was able to get the support she needed, it hurts to think how many people are not as lucky.
This is LEGENDARY. Listening to these scammers get owned on the phone for DAYS at a time is hilarious. Please keep this up guys. You're doing the world a favor!
I do not exaggerate when I say that this call center maze is DIABOLICAL. Never have I seen such a simultaneously devious and wonderful plan implemented before.
I say this in all sincerity: you are a GENIUS. Every aspect of that call tree is perfectly designed to be infuriating, and the "full mailbox" gimmick is just the cherry on top!
My jaw literally dropped when he revealed that people who were scammed - including an elderly woman who'd been a constant victim for years - had called in and were able to get help because of the maze. Absolutely incredible.
I dont comment here often, but i gotta say that this is truly one of the best things youve ever done. It's hilarious regarding the scammers and heartwarming when you get emotional speaking to the victims.
This was absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Hearing scammers go through the customer service hell that so many of us have experienced was truly epic. Great job!
This feels like a movie. Kitboga is the mysterious creator of a hell maze for scammers but every now and then an innocent victim falls into the maze and Kitboga has to lead them back to safety.
That phone call to the victim seemed like it was a tearjerker. Even at the ending summary my man still got choked up a little. This is easily one of the best channels on TH-cam.
Knowing that there are people working to trap call center scammers in an infinite loop of unbeatable scamming brings a tear to my eye. Keep up the good fight.
I’ve been watching your content for years.. many times I’ve thought “there is no way he can top this” but here we are. Your channel has grown so much, you have a whole team and your tactics have only gotten more clever and hilarious. I appreciate you!!
So THIS is the reason I haven't been getting scam calls lately! While my daughter is upset she can't mess with them anymore, I appreciate all that you do to confound these horrible people and help their victims! ❤
I learned that if you don't answer the phone, don't even deny the call, you just let it ring their system will think it's an unused number and take it out of the system. I went from having 5 or 6 calls a day to maybe 2 in a month.
@@michiganrailfan2141 Yeah, I think you're right. I hardly ever answer the phone even when it's someone I know and these scammers never call me. I only get a couple calls a month from people I don't know and it's usually recruiters who found my resume on Indeed.
@@michiganrailfan2141 if you can mimic a fax machine or dial-up modem when you answer, most auto-callers will also flag your number as unusable and move on to the next
I love how during your conversation with one of the scammers, you say that you've had hundreds of callers, and the system has worked flawlessly. Telling him that is the absolute peak of comedic irony for me, and anyone who thinks about it can understand what I mean.
You can see in his eyes at 20:30 how genuine he is. He's at the brink of tears to see all of his wonderful, funny, educational work have a level of meaning that I'm sure many of us hadn't anticipated seeing. I felt like crying too, honestly.

kitboga crying while talking with that old lady moved me so much, i'm glad so many people can be helped
Yes. My compassionate heart feels for all the victims involved, even the scammers. I needed that reminder that this is about protecting our vulnerable ones.
Agree! I cried so hard during that call😭😭
Bro how can you not, you know? When I heard that old sad lady saying “transfer bitcoin” it shattered my heart. These scammers are cruel and they deserve no mercy. Kitboga mentioned he got into scam baiting because his grandma was scammed, I can imagine he’s going through all the emotions of that when speaking to a poor old woman being scammed for 6 years 💔💔
@@Hkhjazz Do you remember which episode it was? Is it highlighted? Wish I'd been there live, beautiful work
@@Lorqu1n I'm not 100% sure but it was recently. Like within the latest weeks as far as i remember
I don't care if it's thousands of hours, I want to hear the raw uncut footage of all these calls. I'll binge it for months.
Same!!!
YUEH DUDE, THIS IS A 6 SEASON NETFLIX SPECIAL.
Twitch has all the unedited and kits 2nd youtube!
Cant wait to fall asleep to Scammer asmr
Yep I’d listen.
The phone tree is absolutely diabolical and soul-crushing. Well done, Kitboga.
Please never shut this system down!! We need a series!
Agreed I could watch this daily
I'd think, as well, that relatively few tweaks could be used to make it look like different crypto/gift card redemption websites. With the likes of ai voice text to speech, it'd be easy to start a network of scambaiters and victims to redirect them down a spiral of 'redeem code' type phone options and/or using g their scripts against them building a bank of responses for common questions etc.
I also hope he makes more videos about the Impossible Maze
Brilliant idea! I also could watch this daily and I'd never get sick of it hahah
If the thumbnail showed Indian ppl in the maze I would’ve liked
Damn, this is brutal.
This phenomenon is called "the sunken cost fallacy" and it can keep them on the line for decades :D
In for a rupee in for a pound.
What an interesting. That's why some people are willing to risk anything for because they're getting close, but at the end it's far worthless.
@@bigolboomerbelly4348 I see what you did there :)
Same reason people stay in a shitty relationship 😅
This is amazing, both in mocking the scammers and saving victims. As a previous victim of a scam (not bitcoin, gift cards), this made me tear up
The fact you got scammers with the oldest scam in gaming - "press alt-f4 (airplane mode) to recieve X" - is just way too poetic...
Alt-f4 IS NOT AIRPLANE MODE
@@RandomytchannelGDI would assume that op knows that, they’re just comparing the scammers pressing airplane mode on their phone to pressing alt-f4 on their computer. It’s pretty obvious, really
@@RandomytchannelGDIt is if you do it right
@@RandomytchannelGD you just got scammed my friend
@@arcaears yes i know. But it was wrong.
something so poetic about using fake customer service as a way to scam scammers of their time. i haven't laughed this hard for months
This is one of the funniest and best idea’s you added to your stream!!
Great job Kit and your to your entire team who assisted and worked on this with you, it’s amazing!!

God bless you. ♥️
I miss receptionists so much. The days when you called a number, a human answered and they put you through to the right person.
You're a legend dude, thank you for these videos and helping people.

I gotta tell Dumpy about this 💀💀
He lets you laugh at misery
@@thepug991lmao are you really defending scammers
@@thepug991Where these scammers have put them selves into. You know that these scammers destroy lifes DON'T YOU ?
Every minute the scammers are spending wasting their time on the site is one they're not using to take advantage of someone else. Doing that work my man.
Kit getting teary at the end made me cry. What a legend to not only frustrate scammers but also help victims put their lives back together again.
that made me emotional too. She had been manipulated for 6 years. I'm so grateful for all the help and care Kit has committed to protecting these people.
Whenever i feel even the slightest hint of pity for these scammers, I always try to remember that they're actively ruining a lot of innocent people's lives. It's amazing that Kit is able to help those victims, directly or indirectly.
this thing ended up saving victims, on top of all the fun 🔥
The older lady. You exposed a part of yourself you don't usually show. The part of you that drives you to do this with such unrelenting passion. I admire it. Keep at it. All legacies begin as jokes. I can't wait to see how your work evolves.
Very much agree, it is so sad sometimes when in other videos like this I have seen victims ignore the good guy because they are so confused by the scammer.
@@GelatinousMoose Story of my life, friend.
I'm so glad to see that scambaiters are becoming increasingly sophisticated & are able not just to waste the time of individual scammers or provoke them to rage, but are able to steal & destroy their data, disable their computers, and completely deconstruct an entire call center (criminal enterprise) at every level, including reporting them to service providers & various agencies, & directly stopping the scamming of individuals just in time to keep them from becoming victims. These things are all so impressive.
Heroes
Well done to you and your team. You should be proud of this masterpiece.
We've worked so hard on this, super proud.
@@KitbogaShow We? You mean you have a team?
Anyways, Happy Halloween, Kit. Your scammer videos always entertained me and made me laugh (especially the "Steve" "Watson" videos). 😊
agree
@@KitbogaShow You're a internet Batman man. Love what you do, keep it up
@@kenterminateddq5311 you didn't honestly think he does all this on his own, did you? He even showed his 10+ member team
I LOVE the British girl's line on the pre-recorded message!! 😂"Corporate laid off half our staff & it's been a mad house over here" hahaha!
Must worked for “X” .💩💩💩💩💩
@@oliviacastilo977what? Why did you reply to yourself
If only companies / hold messages were honest.
God, I got chills when that poor woman appeared on the call, she sounded so scared and confused just saying “transfer bitcoin”. Knowing how ugly the scammers can get with their victims from your channel, I’m so glad she got help and it’s wonderful that your silly tool has turned into something that can genuinely protect and help vulnerable people.
Pretty awkward that you didn't read the text that stated that lady's voice was actually an actor, to protect the privacy of the lady. Atleast you know they have good voice actors though.
@@dylancrosby2451 i'm sure the actor's voice was pretty close to reality.
Lmfao that was literally Kitbogas voice 😂
@@FriteVerte being close to reality is not the same as being real.
Bro she smart enough to transfer bitcoins but get scammed for 6 years how wtff
You guys are truly the good ones. In a world seemingly devoid of morals, it is refreshing to see people out there trying to help other people. Keep doing what you do and thanks for the laughs along the way! And thank you for helping our elderly!
Kit is literally the jigsaw of scambaiting, i’m glad you’re able to have fun with what you do and impact those you’re helping. You are truly doing good shit dude
dude over 60 hours he kept these assholes busy. imagine how many people were saved from being scammed in that time.
Okay, this is one of the funniest things I've seen in a longtime. These scammers totally deserve it for ripping people off, thank you for what you do.
Seriously at 15:03 when he said "It looks like your longest hold-time was one hour and ten minutes, are you willing to beat that record today?" I started howling in laughter!
Crazy enough, he actually DID go on to hold for 3 hours!!
@@KitbogaShowit's crazy how desperate they are that they don't get it
@@Nojnoj it really is. That makes it oh the much more enjoyable.
These scammers are absolutely relentless. I get text messages every single day saying I've got a problem with a bank that I don't even have an account at, or with my UPS or FedEx package can't be tracked when I didn't order anything, things like that. FK these scammers. Keep doing your thing, Kit, you're AWESOME!!! 👍🏼 👍🏼 👍🏼
The great thing about this is that it removes whatever leverage these guys think they have, as opposed to ordinary scambait calls.
In the calls they think Kitboga is an old person, even if they don't get any money and they waste their time, they can lock the (vm) computer and go to bed thinking the victim can't access their computer anymore without them.
Here, they're completely resourceless. They have no way to get back at the service, real or imagined. No consolation. No one to threaten or insult. It's beautiful.
They're so trapped by the promise of Bitcoin that they're willing to upload selfies and videos of themselves
Its just like real customer service, you feel like a powerless grain of sand someone is trying to sweep away
@@jackhazardous4008This made me laugh more than I expected 😂❤
This is probably the reason they started sending their victims to the phone number!
@@zackcinq-mars2129 Which ends up working against them because Kitboga can then get in touch with the victims and put an end to the scam
this is the funniest video i have ever seen “purple pig” had my stomach hurtin 😭😭
i can’t even imagine being him hearing them live i would be dyingggg
Kit and his team are true pioneers in the scambaiting space. Absolutely killing it with fresh ideas and staying one step ahead of the latest scams. Respect
Stole this idea from hello this is lenny kits a theif not creative
The mental and emotional damage Kit is doing is so insidiously beautiful. Kit, you are a mad genius. I salute you, mate!
Too right !

20:30 I've never seen Kitboga react like that before. It's amazing to see him see his efforts help people first-hand.
I've seen it before
Thanks for helping people who don't understand technology and don't have close family to protect them. You are their guardian angel!
Holy shit, the bit with the full message box is pure evil, they deserve it sooo much. Well done Kit and team!

@@familhagaudir8561 NOOOOOOO, NOooooooo, NOOOOOOOOO
Calling that one friend and getting their voicemail which has been full for a few years is enough to send me into a rage after wasting 60 seconds of my time. Getting that kind of message after hours and hours and thinking you're getting a live call representative is so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.
Another great aspect of all this is that there are literally hundreds of scams targeting crypto-users, and so it's not even that unrealistic that the same "victim" of the scammers is the victim of a shady or fake crypto exchange. So the scammers don't even know if they're dealing with a legit exchange or not, but have to pursue it regardless. When they're talking to Kitboga as a call-center rep and trying to bully him it's just not the same as when they're trying to bully victims (even Kitboga in character). The power dynamics are completely reversed, and the scammer knows it. The levels of irony are getting thick, and even if the scammer is aware of it, there's almost nothing they can do. They have to pursue it.
you would hate my voicemail then lmao... i made it long and annoying to prevent people leaving messages unless its actually importantn@@DLSacks
Dude this is the absolute best!! Want much much more content like this please 😂😂😂
The automated request for feedback after such a frustrating call, it's so evil 🤣 i love it
Definitely my favorite part. The irony of all of them saying how bad the experience was too.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

They're taking notes alright but US Cellular is already holding the trademark over Verizon's head going "nananana you will never get this! You will never get this!" While they work on busting that cage with a bigger buyout offer.
All big corporations, and govt’s, sadly.
This is my favourite tale from Greek Mythology. Hades punished King Sisyphus by making him wait forever in a fake call centre queue to redeem non-existent Bitcoin.
One must imagine Sisyphus with Bitcoin.
Kit is such a sweetheart. So emotionally invested. ❤ I also admire that he doesn't shy away from becoming emotional in front of the camera and that he doesn't hide his tears. What an angel.
I mean he didn't lie, the system did work flawlessly as intended...
Peak irony. As in "the use of words expressing something other than their literal intention".
@@JanusHoW Now that is irony!
It's not a bug, it's a feature. :)
It worked better than flawlessly.

Nah hearing her voice sayin transfer bitcoin was heartbreaking forreal God bless this man doing real good in the world 🙏
"...well he might not have a mother, and we need the mother's maiden name."

You are a service to your community. Each hour these scammers waste in your trap is an hour they can't spend scamming someone's grandma.
Not really.
He is addressing symptoms, but intentionally ignores the issues or at least doesnt do anything against it
I do not exaggerate when I say that this call center maze is DIABOLICAL. Never have I seen such a simultaneously devious and wonderful plan implemented before.
I love the fact Kit enjoys, but it was funnier watching video over and over
I was laughing the whole way through, but didn't expect to be in tears at the end. thank you for helping those older folks affected by these scum
Me too man. I'm crying right now.
Same 😭😭😭
Same I almost died at deez nuts
Free call sign followed by the modem/fax machine noise @ 7:56 almost killed me 🤣
Congratulations, Kit, team and Kraken! This is a quantum leap forward in disabling scammers.
Seeing Kit tear up on the call to help that old lady was the highlight for me.
You have not only a keen sense of humour, but also a very outstanding voice acting abilities. I envy your voice. Good job.
I say this in all sincerity: you are a GENIUS. Every aspect of that call tree is perfectly designed to be infuriating, and the "full mailbox" gimmick is just the cherry on top!
My jaw literally dropped when he revealed that people who were scammed - including an elderly woman who'd been a constant victim for years - had called in and were able to get help because of the maze. Absolutely incredible.
I dont comment here often, but i gotta say that this is truly one of the best things youve ever done. It's hilarious regarding the scammers and heartwarming when you get emotional speaking to the victims.
This was absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Hearing scammers go through the customer service hell that so many of us have experienced was truly epic. Great job!
Goosebumps at the ending.. omg that poor woman. I'm so glad you guys were able to help her. 7 years looped in a scam is wild.
A compilation of the scammers’ drawings can legit make a compelling contemporary art exhibition

I’ve been watching your content for years.. many times I’ve thought “there is no way he can top this” but here we are. Your channel has grown so much, you have a whole team and your tactics have only gotten more clever and hilarious. I appreciate you!!
So THIS is the reason I haven't been getting scam calls lately! While my daughter is upset she can't mess with them anymore, I appreciate all that you do to confound these horrible people and help their victims! ❤
I learned that if you don't answer the phone, don't even deny the call, you just let it ring their system will think it's an unused number and take it out of the system. I went from having 5 or 6 calls a day to maybe 2 in a month.
@@michiganrailfan2141
I KNEW IT!!!
@@michiganrailfan2141 Yeah, I think you're right. I hardly ever answer the phone even when it's someone I know and these scammers never call me. I only get a couple calls a month from people I don't know and it's usually recruiters who found my resume on Indeed.
@@michiganrailfan2141 if you can mimic a fax machine or dial-up modem when you answer, most auto-callers will also flag your number as unusable and move on to the next
Went from funny to heart breaking really quick when that old woman called. Its so amazing you all were able to help her.
But why did she call l don't get it?
