YouTube and Twitch streamer Kitboga has developed a fake Bitcoin ATM scheme that has trapped scammers for nearly 4,000 hours. The scheme involves creating a fake Bitcoin ATM receipt leading scammers into a confusing and frustrating maze, filled with tedious tasks like solving CAPTCHAs and waiting on hold for nonexistent support. By pretending to be victims, Kitboga and his team have wasted significant time of around 500 scammers, averaging just under three hours each, with one scammer spending over 156 hours in the maze. This strategy not only entertains viewers but also aids in gathering intel on scammers. Kitboga aims to disrupt the scam operations, ensuring that scammers cannot target vulnerable individuals while they are engaged with his elaborate setup. The streamer has partnered with exchanges like Kraken to share information about the identity of scammers and has noted the positive impact of his efforts in freezing funds tied to scammers. Kitboga's endeavor reflects a growing movement among content creators to combat online fraud while educating the public on the dangers of such schemes.
