A YouTube and Twitch streamer known as Kitboga has devised a scheme that has ensnared scammers for nearly 4,000 hours, posing as a way for victims to redeem Bitcoin. The method involves creating a fake Bitcoin ATM receipt leading scammers to an intricate maze where they are made to solve tedious tasks and wait on hold. Kitboga's goal is to waste the scammers' time while simultaneously gathering information to combat their schemes. The team has successfully kept approximately 500 scammers engaged in this infinite loop for an average of three hours each. Tactics include frustrating CAPTCHAs and placing the scammers on long holds with absurd phrases to repeat, ensuring they cannot target unsuspecting victims. The scheme not only entertains but has proven effective in collecting actionable intel, allowing Kitboga to pass on critical information to law enforcement, leading to the freezing of scammers' funds from reputable exchanges. Kitboga, who initially started this as a hobby, has turned it into a full-time endeavor, gaining a massive following in the process.
