[[MemeticMutation WHY ARE YOU REDEEMING?! WHY DID YOU REDEEM IT?!]]

* TrickedIntoSigning: In "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFvn5EuW_hk Telling an Investment Scammer I Actually Got the Money]]," part of the scam is the scammer providing a document which both the victim and the scammer are supposed to sign in order make things more legitimate. It is, of course, nonsense, since once the scammer gets the money from the victim, they will cut and run. Kitboga modifies the document so that it specifies certain terms such as the scammer being required to chat with him on a 15 minute video call and provide him with five $100 Olive Garden gift cards upon signing, knowing that the scammer won't read it. Of course, given that it's a scammer, he has no way of enforcing this either, but he tries to make him read him out to humiliate him by having him read out loud what he signed.

* JustForFun/{{Rickroll}}: As of 2023, one way that scammers try to get money is to send a victim to a Bitcoin [=ATM=] to buy a large amount of Bitcoin. They then ask for the QR code from the receipt and make off with the Bitcoin. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvPmt1VeiaA this video]], Kitboga trolls the scammer by sending a receipt with a QR code that instead rickrolls him. Although he and the viewers don't get to have the pleasure of listening to the scammer hear "Never Gonna Give You Up" over the phone, Kit nevertheless has tracking on the code and thus is able to verify that the scammer and/or one of his buddies did use it and thus got rickrolled.

* PunnyName: Several of the characters Kitboga plays have sneakily punny names, such as "[[Literature/AliceInWonderland Allison Vunderlund]]" and "[[Creator/BillyMays Billy Maizear]]" (a double pun: it means both "Billy Maize Ear" and "Billy Mays Here". Of course, rarely do the scammers notice anything. Another one of these is "Dawn Dewitt" or "Don Dewitt." So when the scammer shouts "Don't do it!" as Kit goes to redeem the gift cards, he replies "Dawn/Don, do it? Okay!" Yet another one he sometimes uses for the character most commonly known as Granny Edna is "Candice B. Real." ("Can this be real?") His characters also sometimes mention having two children named "Sam and Ella" (salmonella).

* AIIsACrapshoot: "Scamming a Scammer With Rogue AI - He Lost His Bank" features the introduction of Western Amber, an 'AI' character developed by an old woman to act as a housekeeper. As the title of the video hints at, it's not exactly a stable AI, completely ignoring the requests of Kitboga's character ''and'' the scammer of the moment and often doing the exact opposite, offering to ''help the scammer'' and at times speaking in a distorted voice.. [[note]] The character was born completely by chance after an off-hand joke. Kit expected the scammer to hang up right away, but surprising even him, he didn't, leading him to double down on the joke even further. Western Amber was originally the name given to an actual [=AI=] developed by Kit which is used to try to waste scammer time or get bank accounts from them automatically.[[/note]]

* EdutainmentShow: Kitboga's work consists basically of [=PSAs=] about scammers, their general mindsets, and how they tend to operate... in the form of using these things against them in prank calls that both keep them busy and often humiliate and enrage them in absurd ways.
* TheEeyore: Kit's bank manager character.

* GratuitousSpanish: Bizarrely, many scammers seem to pepper in the word "si" for confirmation, instead of using "yes".[[note]]Bizarre because the scammers are almost always based in India, with Hindi as their first language, in which "yes" is "haan."[[/note]] Perhaps they figure that since they can't hide their obvious foreign accent, they might as well just pretend to be Spanish to sound more trustworthy?

* RealMenLoveJesus: He rarely discusses it, but Kitboga is a devout Christian. One of the biggest [[BerserkButton Berserk Buttons]] for him is when scammers try to use an appeal to religion to coerce victims into paying.

** PlayedWith. In one of the "Will Scammers Do My Work For Gift Cards?" calls, the scammer Jake, who actually ''did'' help Kitboga's character Kelly with her work and interviewed several other "employees" (also Kit's characters), accidentally manages to get Kelly fired by messing up the TPS Reports. While willing to scam her and take her gift cards, Jake takes it upon himself to call Kelly's boss ([[LoadsAndLoadsOfRoles also Kit]]) to convince him to not fire her, and even admits to him of being a scammer even if that has an extremely high chance of ruining everything he worked for. And then he [[IgnoredEpiphany attempts to scam her even after that]], and even uses the fact that he "helped save her job" to manipulate her.

* StupidStatementDanceMix:
** Made by viewers and played during the streams (often as an intermission or intro). [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9-SUS1j1vE "Just wait a moment, sir"]]
** And another one, sometimes used at the end of the videos: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0UEtbmtoCo "What do you think, I'm a fool here, bro?"]]
** Yet another one, not used that much: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEK89ZhTVes "Hit On Run"]]

* SmugSnake: Numerous scammers consider themselves to be extremely good at what they do, and are extremely arrogant towards Kit and his characters; this makes it all the more gratifying to watch the scammers reach their RageBreakingPoint and witness their [[PaperThinDisguise excuse for a facade]] come tumbling down.

Kitboga is a scam baiter and occasional PC game streamer on Website/{{Twitch}}. His goal is to spread awareness of the various phone scams out there, that prey upon innocent people that are too easily-manipulated into their schemes.

** The "Chicago Art Museum" became this after a scammer claiming to work in Atlanta said that they frequently visited it when asked. It has become a custom to ask every scammer claiming to be in the United States if they enjoy going to the Chicago Art Museum.

* OvertOperative: Of the scam scripts as of around 2022 and later is to for the scammers to claim that somebody in the target's bank or something of the sort is compromised and so they need the target to become a "spy" and go undercover for them. Unfortunately for them, Kitboga's M.O. upon hearing this particular script is to be this, reveling in the supposed assignment and shouting about being a secret agent and such when he's pretending to be at the bank.

-->'''Kitboga, as Edna:''' Steve, you’re a little boy. For someone who seems to think so highly of themselves, and who has claimed to have so much power over this situation, you’re acting like a little child. You’re acting like a fool. So here’s what I’m wondering. Steve, what are you hoping to get out of this, because 10 hours ago when I talked to you on the phone, you stole 260 thousand dollars from me; But now I’m looking at my bank and I’m realizing I still have 260,000 dollars in here, and [[PsychopathicManChild you are screaming like a helpless little child when mommy doesn’t give you what you want]], and it makes me think to myself ‘You know what? Steve, Steve has no control over this situation. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion I mean, if he could take 260,000 dollars from my bank account right now, why wouldn’t he just do that.]]
