@GeePawHill the fact that #ScammerPayback, #JimBrowning and all the other #ScamBaiters don't run out of content and nowadays find more and more aggressive #Scammers literally emptying peoples' bank accounts (or rather manipulating them into doing that) is worrying.

Granted, #Malvertising like that is why I think it's not enough to use #uBlockOrigin but necessary to use #NoScript if not migrate users to using @torproject / #TorBrowser and #DisableJavascript entirely, because it's just so rampant.
- Might just use #FrogFind all day and do simple webbrowsing instead.

They troll scammers and fraudsters in their videos, exposing their schemes. Part vigilantes and part entertainers, scambaiters walk a fine line between documentation and interference with larger covert operations.

I love #ScamBaiters It's a fascinating genre to watch. I think #JimBrowning has some of the best stuff out there. #Kitboga was my first and his stuff is still enjoyable. #AtomicShrimp was so enjoyable I watch his non scam stuff.

Sporadically I check out #ScammerPayback, #RinoaPoison, and a few others randomly.

But #TrilogyMedia is so up and down. They're such bullies. And then they started predator hunting and it just feels like they're getting worse.

@paul Shit like this is why nonconsensual call recording is illegal in Germany...

The few exceptions like Polixe, Fire Dept. and EMS have to record the entire calls...

Also feel free to give the number to #ScammersPayback & #ScamBaiters so they can hammer them with robocalls!

RIP Twitter. You were fun while you lasted, but now I’m hard core mastodon forever I think. Just need somebody who’s in the community to make an instance for #Scambaiters and we’ll be all set. Also, I’m super curious to see how getting rid of third party clients translates into migrations over here. We shall see.

@ct_bergstrom the solution is to expose the real people behind these accounts. Perhaps enlist the help of #anonymous or #ScamBaiters to figure out their real identity, and then write another article. The pen is mightier than the sword.

This is one of my favorite email #ScamBaiters. There aren’t many of these people, so I hope you enjoy it.
