Look how beautiful our freshly painted bridge is, It's like it's out of the 1950s!!

Also, that vid says a piece falls off but actually two pieces fell off : )

Sorry to be pedantic but only one thing falling off was a piece. The other was simply a bit.

He's incredible, I checked out some of his most popular videos and I felt genuine terror listening to the scam artist scream at one of his personas. I cannot imagine what it would be like to be an octogenarian and one of their targets. Kitboga is doing the lord's work.

There's another guy that does the same thing but tries to back track or get control of the scammers PC's. He's more then once activated winlocker and varients and nuked their entire Enterprise. It's amazing to watch. The one time he managed to access the scammers webcam while they went through their spiel and didn't notice him messing with their server.

I've recently started getting calls that my social security number (speaking of scams) has been suspended. Lol

The car warranty calls I try to answer, I usually get hung up on in just about the amount of time it would take for someone to google a 'ford corolla' or 'jeep miata'.

I know I'm never going to annoy them enough to get them to stop calling me, but I can hope!

This year one new thing I've been seeing, which isn't necessarily a scam but is illegal, is someone calling and identifying themselves, saying who the call is for (although this part is often a computer-generated voice, like Microsoft SAM saying "John Doe," and sometimes includes a 30-second pause so if it is not the person being called they can hang up (when I worked in financial services this was something we did, so it is rooted in legit practices). Some of the real-life people sound pretty convincing, too, but not all of them. The text of the message is some quasi-official-sounding thing, like:

"I am calling in regards to matter #1186-3. We have been trying to reach you for 2 weeks, and if we do not hear back in 48 hours then the issue will be forwarded to your local jurisdiction for further action. Please call me back at 800-469-2187."

The thing is, most of the time I get these the person being asked for is my brother or my ex-wife.

In one case where I actually interacted with the person calling I was able to determine the caller was from a debt-collection company, and had probably found me through one of those people-search things that show people that may be connected to the person you are searching on. The thing is, having worked in the financial industry myself, I know that disclosing someone's debt to a 3rd party is a flagrant violation of the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (FDCPA). The penalties for FDCPA violations can result in fines not only for the company responsible, but the individual employee in violation.

I haven't got one of these in a while, and it is usually voicemails when I do, but part of me wants to put the fear of god into one of these vultures.

I don't know why these idiots have to do this poo poo in the tunnels. If you're going to drag race do it on the GWB where there are enough lanes so when you crash you won't cause as much traffic.

Taking control of the scammers pc was surprisingly easy. For a time (maybe they still do that?) Teamviewer actually didn't allow any remote sessions to originate in India because it was pretty much only used by scammers. So the scammers had you remote into their pc and then used the function to flip the remote session to take control of your pc. But you had to initiate the flip before they could do anything so while controlling the scammers pc you could simply turn of their mouse, keyboard and monitor and rummage around in there until they realized what you are doing and turned the computer off.
