“Whether you think you've won $1 million or you think you owe $1 million... the scammer is going to make you do something right now,” warns scambaiter Kitboga.
In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Kitboga, known for his unique approach to wasting scammers’ time on the phone, shared crucial insights on avoiding scams. His work not only exposes fraudulent tactics but also provides practical advice on staying safe.
"One of the common things that every scammer does... is they will try to give you a sense of urgency,” he explained.&nbsp;
Kitboga emphasized the importance of staying calm and taking time to assess the situation, especially in fast-paced environments like the crypto world. He shared a personal example of nearly falling for a subtle scam: “The other day, we were looking at a website that was a carbon copy of a really popular coin... the only difference on the entire website was the domain.”&nbsp;
To further protect against fraudsters, Kitboga also recommends segmenting funds, especially in crypto, to minimize risk. “If you want to try something out [...] or you’re interested in minting something, don’t store all of your assets in the same place,” he warned.
