I’m TJ. How do I scambait properly? Is there any etiquette to it?
Not uniformly. Don’t worry about the feelings of others because what annoys one doesn’t another. You will find some people where the content and monetization of it comes first before actually getting the numbers shut down, but don’t worry about them. Everyone hits this from a different angle and I think as a group we are a team, even if some are more showboaters, grifters, and gatekeepers than scambaiters. Just like any hobby, you have the cool people and the toxic people. Just do your thing and make sure you are using burner numbers
There is no properly. The only mission is to make them shut down. You can piss them off and treat them like shit all you like.
start with a burner phone number and a vpn. work on your social engineering skills, and command line linux…the rest is up to you.
The goal in the end is that they shut down. How you do that is up to you. I personally call them with a free talkatone number, talk in a silly accent while acting old, dumb and hard of hearing. But you should discover your style. Just get the lads annoyed and waste their time or more. totally up to you
Have fun and piss them off, you can start with this: go though the whole fake thing, like I got this 499 charge on my email. Get the Burner app on phone, don’t use your real phone number. Sound like a old guy and play dumb. I got like 4 or 5 voices that I do, (not AI), old lady, old man, scared guy, drunk dude, and so on. Have fun!
Have fun. Gather information such as bank accounts, money mule addresses etc. I can help with reporting that. I’d recommend making a Discord as people here use Discord and theirs a scammer.info.
I don’t know how you’d do it “properly” other than reporting information to the right places and making sure your secure such as using a VPN, VoIP number, Virtual Machine.
My discord is reconroot
