Even a ruse as simple as scam calling can cause great loss to unsuspecting victims. Enter Kitboga, who has made it his mission to waste these callers’ time and simultaneously educate his viewers on being more alert and aware as he does so.

Kitboga’s net worth in 2022 is $1 million. This is according to numerous outlets, including SportsKeeda.

A seemingly harmless yet damaging crimes in the age of technology is scams. More specifically, scam calling has been especially effective terrorizing victims since it was discovered that anonymity could be harnessed as a weapon. Thats where Kitboga comes in, giving these fraudulent callers a taste of their own medicine.

By changing his voice and using his knowledge of computers and software, he gets a leg up on scambaiters, acting as if he’s falling for their usual tricks. He then uses this own brand of anonymity to confuse these callers and waste their time in the hopes that they stop scamming someone else. In fact, he revealed in an interview with Newsweek that it was his grandparents who inspired him to start the project.

“My grandparents got taken advantage of as they got older, trusting just about anyone who called. [I was] compelled to do something, even though some consider it small. I started researching these scams and calling them up to waste their time.”

Not much is known about the online creator’s identity, as it is essential he remains anonymous because of potential dangers he may encounter due to the nature of his work. However, he has revealed personal tidbits like going to school for computer science and having a background in software engineering.

Since he started, the nameless YouTuber has grown his platform through interviews with STEAM Magazine and The Gamer for his work. Unfortunately, reactions to Kitboga’s efforts to expose wrongdoing and growing notoriety weren’t entirely positive. Though his audience undoubtedly finds value in the educational aspect of his content, there were members of one particular community who weren’t all that appreciative: the scammers themselves.

In fact, Kitboga has been cursed out at times on his videos after the person on the other end recognizes him. Funnily enough, though, one actually seemed excited and even asked the scam-baiter for a shoutout. Kitboga himself maintains to Newsweek that some of his encounters are not necessarily aware of the nature of their work, which is why he ends the videos by switching to his real voice and talking to the operators.

“From what I have experienced, there are usually a lot of new employees who are instructed to follow a script and transfer to a more experienced scammer once the individual has gotten connected to the computer, for example. There is a chance some of the entry level folks don’t even know what they’re getting themselves into; some seem to really think they’re helping you. I always try to explain what is really going on when I get the chance.”
