‘Everyday there are scammers taking advantage of people. I call them to waste their time, walk people through their ‘script’ and lies, report info when I can, and otherwise make light of a dark situation.’

‘I am a YouTube content creator that works to remove scam companies and provide entertainment. Working my best to provide information to the community about these scams and ways to deter them.’

‘I believe the police and tech companies need to do more to prevent and stop these scams, but I understand it’s difficult,’ says Raposo, who argues that the authorities and scambaiters should work together. She hopes her videos will encourage young people to talk to their grandparents about the tactics scammers employ and, like Browning, has received grateful emails from potential victims who’ve avoided scams thanks to her content. ‘My videos are making a small but important difference out there,’ she says. ‘As long as they call me, I’ll keep answering.’
