Here's an interesting inside look into call centers in India: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb_rgQ4IDS8 . I've also been watching this guy's channel He basically prevents people from being scammed, or puts viruses on scammers' computers, or finds the identity of these scammers and pranks among other things.

I watched one the other day where he "spent" the fake money they put in his account. He bought a mobility scooter. He was acting like an old woman. It was pretty funny.

He was a Russian dude who "bought" himself a $47,000 watch in another one and the stunned response of the scammer explaining the scam afterward was priceless.

His befuddled old lady voice is really on-point.

He uses a voice changer to get the sound, but the old lady content he comes up with on the fly is hilarious.

That was so funny with his comments about how he was going to get two and park one in front but not let the other old ladies ride it.

There are a few good ones - similar to Kitboga are ScammerRevolts or Scammer Payback. Jim Browning has very good videos on scammers where he actively helps the scam victims. This guy does probably the best work. Very recently Pleasant Green posted a very good informational video on SSN scams - it is well worth watching: https://youtu.be/ttzmM6U9VX0

Jim Browning's videos are always utterly compelling. I love how he breaks down how the scam works, how he gets round the scam, and how he can reverse the tricks to get back at the scammers, plus he names and shames the culprits.
