szert··on Show HN: CallSitter – bot that answers my calls and wastes scammers' time
yeah, I am considering to tweak the bot to give away it's AI playing with them after some time. Currently I just steer it live from Telegram with some trolling instructions when I have time for fun.

I am pretty sure the two police scam attempts I uploaded are real people.

There are more , one guy spent almost an hour talking with the bot, even called back when the bot hang up because of the time limits I put on (it says I gotta go sorry). It played so well all the way, like pretending to search for email in spam folder, looking for a pen etc. :)

And a few automated crap AI like the add me on what's app and a whatever crypto bot.

Good point but it's just fun to listen the recordings. Easy to tune the prompt like that once I get bored with it.

Also, I am not sure how this business works. I assume they buy leaked data then fish around. So every buyer or new breach brings new wave?

Anyway, I'm just happy to waste their time. Thogh someone said that sometimes they are paid per the hour. Ultimately I still contributing to make it less profitable and less time to harass others.
