Twitch streamer hilariously trolls phone scammers with incredible results

Thanks to Twitch’s enormous user base, viewers never really know what they’re going to find as they scroll through the livestreaming platform: users can stumble upon everything from slight-of-hand tricks to fortune telling, and, in this case, scam callers getting a proverbial “run for their money.”

Despite their wily ways, Kitboga isn’t letting them get the better of him: instead, he uses the guise of various “personas,” taking on the roles of elderly women, southern gentlemen, and other such disguises using a voice filter to give scammers the run-around in hilarious live streams that almost always end in a big reveal.

Kitboga unveiled one such reveal during a stream on June 26, where he asked a scam caller if she’d gotten the idea to swindle him out of money from the very issue she was attempting to “protect” him from – while still in the guise of an older woman.

“It destroys lives, it really does,” Kitboga said in a sympathetic tone. “Trying to take all that stuff. Is that where you got the idea to do this?”

Kitboga even tricked another scammer into reading his obviously bogus statement about bank transfer “refunds” on their website, which he’d edited to include such phrases as “the simplest, easiest, laziest, most awesome, godliest, cutest,” etc.
