A call for communities to work together - share your work, share your knowledge!

Hello all, got a little request as such.

I’ve noticed that certain scambaiting communities (I won’t mention names), aren’t allowing members to actually discuss scambaiting or share resources.

This is literally stopping new members coming into the community and helping to take down scams.

So what can you help to do?

It’s very simple really.
If you’re in multiple scambaiting Discord servers, or other scambaiting groups, and you find something interesting, share it!

If you find a scammer number on scammer.info, share it to BobRTC.tel, if you find a popup, add it to PopupDB.org (their bot also is in TLS for anyone wondering).

If you’re in a smaller community, tell them about scammer.info and TLS, about BobRTC and PopupDB. Let others know about us. But also, let us know about them if you wish. We want to be able help them, and to let them help us.

We have great guides posted here to help new members that others might not see. Please help them to see them. But if they’ve got a guide, we’d love to see it. Sharing the knowledge is key.

In particular, YouTube communities (and this is in no way an attack or disrespect for YouTube scambaiters), seem to limit the amount of knowledge or resources that they allow to be shared in their groups. To me, this is insane. They could benefit from our knowledge, and equally we could benefit massively from them.

That’s my request, work together, let others know about us, let us know about others, share the resources and the fun.

Being a new Scambaiter, Research is quite a big thing I have only been into Scambaiting for a few weeks and its taken me at least 3 weeks to get something even close to a setup that’s effective for Baiting these fraudsters, I agree with sharing knowledge at the end of the day we’re all in this together and work towards the same goal, If communities could share information, machine setups, Best tools to use, and how to use those tools I think Scambaiting would grow, I’ve seen many Videos on YT, some were funny like Scammers having there files deleted and the aftermath, but some were shocking, Jim Browning has a good Channel for showing what these fraudsters are getting up to on a daily basis, Imagine if that was one of your family members.

Watching the reaction of scammers when Baiters deleting files is funny, however, I would much prefer to go the other route of Watching what these fraudsters are doing and hopefully Intervening before the Victim hands over money. This way you are undetected and are in a better position to help more Vulnerable Victims, Deleting files is a disposable means of destruction, once it's done the Computer is restored and your access is removed.
Recon/Damage Control is a much better path.

Getting to that level is another level of expertise. one that currently I'm working on.
