I run a large Podcasting conference that's taking place in January with more than 2,000 registered attendees.

Some of our sponsors whose logos are on our site have been targeted by calls from scammers trying "to confirm your company's attendance at Podfest."

When they call back, they try to sell them hotel rooms.

Is this something worth submitting?

If so, how do I go about submitting?

I was watching this video where Kit gets the chat bots to say pigglywiggly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhi6JU5pOJk . It's really entertaining but I'm wondering is this actually him calling into call centre and messing with their chat bots or is it just him playing with AI chat bot software?

I ask as at no ponit do we see him showing him getting into or calling a call centre and then at around 15:30 he gets multiple of these on really easily.

To be clear, I don't think any of his videos are fake, I'm just questining this one sepcific one.

I've been searching for a specific video for ages and I just can't find it. It's the one where at one point the scammer repeats the line "turn on your computer ♪♪" (at least I think that's what he was saying) over and over in a singsong-y voice. It's so funny but I just can't find it anywhere!

As many of us do, I fell asleep the other night to Kit. And before I say this, let it be known I love kit through and through. He’s hilarious and talented and the world is a better place for him

BUT…

Man when I woke up the other night, to the techno remix of Rick Astley playing for like a minute or two straight I was FUMING. I nearly punched my iPad. It was the most irritating noise I’d ever heard. That’s some effective hold music. Poor scammers who have to listen to that for hours on end.

I was just looking for Kit related stuff and came across a YouTube channel that has 10 videos that are many hours long of Kit playing D & D in 2019. I never saw this before. Sir Slaw - YouTube

Basically what it says. My number won’t stop getting scam calls, and instead of simply ignoring them I figured it might be nice to give kitboga some content. I don’t want to lose my number, but this is driving me nuts!

I watched a video a couple years ago where a scammer was pretending to transfer money via the command line. Kit did the same and then edited the bank page to make it look like it went through, I think with a description of "command prompt". If I recall correctly the scammer was dumbfounded. Does anybody know what video this was? Thanks in advance.

I think this is one of the funniest rants.

I remember there was a video where it was about a Bitcoin scam where the scammers asked if you're a US citizen, if you said yes they would hang up.

I’ve really been enjoying this guy’s work

I’ve been watching Kitboga’s content for more than five years, and lately I’ve started wondering how much of it is completely genuine versus potentially scripted or involving hired performers from India or Pakistan.

One thing that makes me question it is how frequently the scammers have Indian or South Asian accents, and I feel like I’ve heard very similar sometimes seemingly the same voices across different videos. Kitboga has also been doing this publicly for years, using recognizable characters, voices, and ways of speaking. Are real scammers really that unlikely to recognize him or realize what’s happening?

I’m not saying I have proof that he hires actors or stages the calls. It’s just something that has made me skeptical after watching his content for so long.

What also concerns me is that he has built a very successful business around this content, including sponsorships and advertisements for VPNs, cryptocurrency platforms, and other products, while Indians are repeatedly portrayed as the scammers. Regardless of whether the calls are genuine, I think repeatedly associating Indian accents with scams can reinforce the already widespread stereotype that Indians are scammers.

What do you guys think? Do you believe the calls are completely genuine, or have you also noticed things that make some of the videos feel scripted?re all genuine scam calls, or do some of them seem staged or performed for content?

can anyone help me find the video/ timestamp of the video where the scammer says something like "ma'am you are doing this so slowly, you are moving like a tortoise / turtle. " something along those lines? thanks so much in advance!
