Streamer Kitboga has ingeniously trapped scammers for nearly 4,000 hours by creating a fake Bitcoin ATM receipt that leads them into a frustrating maze. This mischievous tactic not only wastes the scammers' time but also gathers valuable intel on their operations. Kitboga and his 12-member team engage with scammers who demand victims send money via Bitcoin ATMs, directing them to a Photoshop-generated receipt linked to a phony exchange. Over a year, about 500 scammers were lured into this scheme, with each typically spending around three hours trying to navigate the labyrinth, which includes absurd CAPTCHA challenges and a confusing phone menu. Holding them on the line and forcing them to repeat ridiculous phrases ensures they cannot scam other potential victims. Kitboga views this as a way to protect vulnerable individuals, especially the elderly, who might fall for such scams. With a growing audience on Twitch and YouTube, he has leveraged his content creation to raise awareness and aid in identifying scammers, often collaborating with law enforcement for further action.
