A friend from work introduced me to the world of scambaiting, where people will deliberately waste a scammer’s time in one form or another. There’s just something entertaining about having someone connect unknowingly to a VM for god tier trolling.
I’ve already been well aware of all kinds of scams that are going around these days, but a lot of these kinds of videos do a good job of not just trolling the scammers, but provide in depth analysis of how these scammer groups operate. I praise these people for their art, education and dedication to both keeping people informed and saving potential victims by wasting their time.
I actually wouldn’t mind doing something like this; in fact I’ve done it a couple of times at work when they call up pretending to work for TehGoogle. THey must have been busy, they didn’t seem a tad interested in the fact that I lived in the State of Germany and consolidated three stores into one building. I’m not one to usually boast, but I’d say that’s pretty durn impressive.
