So, the prospect of an "easy" swindle was the perfect trap. Also, the fact that this was all largely automated is all the more pleasing.

      Computers give power to these creatures, and it's the same with cheaters/hackers on online multiplayer games: they aren't good at anything IRL so they have to boost their virtual presence artificially.
      So long as they see numbers going up on their screens, they don't care about how miserable they make others. At the end of the day, it's not about money; the thing these people truly desire is to have some form of control over their own lives and, specially, over the lives of others.

With the likes of ai voice text to speech, it'd be easy to start a network of scambaiters and victims to redirect them down a spiral of 'redeem code' type phone options and/or using g their scripts against them building a bank of responses for common questions etc.

      I worked customer support for several internet/phone companies a few years ago. Some of the instructions, that MUST be followed to the t, include this in their customer care strategy. We know full well as technicians taking and making calls that the number we are transferring them to does not go anywhere. Ever. They just want the customer to get so frustrated that they give up. It also helps their call volume when they repeatedly call back, only to get lost in the same process. These companies typically have a monopoly of the service they provide, so they just don't care if the customer is mad or "I'm going somewhere else". Because they can't.

    Calling that one friend and getting their voicemail which has been full for a few years is enough to send me into a rage after wasting 60 seconds of my time. Getting that kind of message after hours and hours and thinking you're getting a live call representative is so beautiful it brought a tear to my eye.

    • @DLSacks
      @DLSacks 10 місяців тому +17

      Another great aspect of all this is that there are literally hundreds of scams targeting crypto-users, and so it's not even that unrealistic that the same "victim" of the scammers is the victim of a shady or fake crypto exchange. So the scammers don't even know if they're dealing with a legit exchange or not, but have to pursue it regardless. When they're talking to Kitboga as a call-center rep and trying to bully him it's just not the same as when they're trying to bully victims (even Kitboga in character). The power dynamics are completely reversed, and the scammer knows it. The levels of irony are getting thick, and even if the scammer is aware of it, there's almost nothing they can do. They have to pursue it.

    The great thing about this is that it removes whatever leverage these guys think they have, as opposed to ordinary scambait calls.
    In the calls they think Kitboga is an old person, even if they don't get any money and they waste their time, they can lock the (vm) computer and go to bed thinking the victim can't access their computer anymore without them.
    Here, they're completely resourceless. They have no way to get back at the service, real or imagined. No consolation. No one to threaten or insult. It's beautiful.
