“I started off with some pranks and scambaits, but quickly I started seeing weaknesses in scammers scripts,” DVR told Bored Panda. “I got a lot of very sad stories from victims, which made me really determined to do more. I got together a team of very skilled people, and we decided to fight back in more ways than just wasting their time. We started call flooding and accessing their computers so we could uncover more evidence, getting their personal information so we could report them, and figure out more of what they do.
Lack of cyber-policing to bring scammers to justice is what makes DVR and his team realize that they really are needed. “We send all the information we obtain from the scammer’s computers to many authorities, locally as well as internationally,” he explained. “We do know that most of the time it doesn’t do much. But it’s the right thing to do.”
