He live streams calling scammers that are running exactly these sorts of scams, tries to tie them up for as long as possible, wasting their time. It's super educational as well, showing how these scammers try various tactics to keep people afraid.
Although his practices are more... grey hat, he's managed to successfully shutdown whole companies. He provided content for a BBC documentary too: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000fzx2
Even though he regularly sends information to authorities, it is very rare that they will do anything.
One thing that I enjoy about Browning's videos is that he often will be proactive in helping victims. Sometimes he will catch scammers in the middle of scamming others and either call the victim to educate them about what is happening, sabotage the scam by reversing what the scammers are doing on their computer, or just refunding the funds with the scammers' own systems.
He might not be as "fun" and whacky as some of the other baiters, but it his videos can be quite interesting. He will sometimes figure out the hierarchy and layout of their company and network, their physical locations, business fronts, etc so that he can methodically take down the company.
He puts forward far more effort than many other "scambaiters."
He has coding streams where he makes countless tools to take up more time / capture information from scammers. He has a fake bank site he uses to capture banking details of scammers when they try to wire money to themselves from the victim's bank account (he has a relationship with bank fraud teams and law enforcement.)
He's also a talented voice actor and social engineer who can keep scammers on the phone with who they think is his bank for hours. Absolutely worth a watch on YouTube or his Twitch streams if you have a moment.
My favorite was the cubic equation captcha on the fake bank website -- which Grandma Edna (his character) had no trouble solving in her head because back in the day they taught arithmetic properly!
As an example, one of his time wasters is a browser extension that redirects Google search to the 8th page, making it harder for the scammers to bring up websites thru search such as the chase demo banking site. It's very amusing to watch them struggle.
Yes, that guy and others on youtube are sadly the only line of defense we have. I'm surprised this is still happening in 2020. Plenty of Indian scam-centers were raided a few years ago.. And they're getting more and more professional at scamming, some of them have no telling indian accent (but they are sooo rude, it's unbelievable)
I am not a recipient for such scamming but I do receive phone calls on a daily basis, which I started screening of course. If I pick up and don't say anything they will hang up in 5 to 10 seconds. I think they're harvesting for potential victims.
I've been consuming his content non-stop for a few months now. While there are other scam baiters around, I feel like Kitboga's approach is the best one to achieve the most possible exposure of these practices. He has a huge Twitch and YouTube audience and I think he absolutely 100% deserves it.
Here's the same scam from his stream 3 days ago: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/668914814?t=5h4m20s Abandoned Toyota Corolla on the south border of Texas with blood, _exactly_ 22 pounds of cocaine, cash. Multiple bank accounts and addresses registered with your SSN, funds wired out of the US.
