Scambaiters on Bloomberg

-

Bloomberg has recently highlighted the efforts of "scambaiters," online vigilantes who counter internet fraudsters by wasting their time and exposing their operations. In December 2024, Bloomberg published an article titled "YouTube Scambaiters Turn the Tables — and the Police — on Internet Fraudsters," detailing how these individuals devise elaborate schemes to disrupt scammers' activities.

Additionally, Bloomberg's investigative series featured a segment called "Scambaiters," which delves deeper into this phenomenon. This episode is part of the "Bloomberg Investigates" series and is available for streaming on Bloomberg Originals.

For a visual exploration, Bloomberg also released a video titled "Scambaiter Exposes Massive Dubai Crypto Scam," where a scambaiter uncovers a significant cryptocurrency fraud based in Dubai.
