I have sunk many hours this year into watching Scott Brown Carpentry - a New Zealand Carpenter who is incredibly talented at video editing as well as carpentry [LINK] I’ve also enjoyed watching Kitboga - a twitch / YouTube personality who wastes phone scammers time in intricate ways, like building fake bank websites to lure them in if they use screen sharing. One of my favourite videos so far involved “driving to a store” to get google play codes, then redeeming them on a fake google play store while the scammer watched on screen share: [VIDEO]

My grandfather stopped answering his landline telephone because of these scumbags. Kitboga is a youtuber who winds scammers up and wastes their time, and is pretty righteous [VIDEO]

I have been receiving regular spear phishing calls from these guys, or someone who bought the leaked data, with classic tactics like claiming that I need to confirm a potentially fraudulent transaction. They speak perfect English with an American accent, sound very friendly, and have knowledge of your account balance. Thankfully on the first call I realized it was a scam right away, and Google's call screening feature takes good care of the rest. Wish I could forward them to Kitboga[1]. I guess they didn't have as much luck as they wanted scamming Coinbase's customers, and once they had their fun they decided to try extorting Coinbase themselves. [1] [VIDEO]
