    I get these calls and I try to see where they’re going, but they always hang up on me. I try to act distraught and confused; maybe I’m just bad at that. I’m even more motivated now that I see that I can empty the litter tray into a shoebox and give them that.

      I can’t remember the channel, but there’s a British guy who makes a hobby of staying on the line with scammers as long as possible so he can get information and try to dox them.

      Maybe look up “scamming the scammer” type videos for tips?

        There are a couple great channels like that. KitBoga is the most directly entertaining, he makes up entire characters with costumes and voice changers and stuff, and builds all sorts of wacky tools/traps to waste as much scammer time as possible.

        Jim Browning is the most savvy, I think. Dude is a legit hacker, constantly gets access to scammer call centers’ computers and security cam stuff and reports them to their local cops. Crazy computer magic shit.

        I don’t know any others by name, but I can definitely recommend both of them.
