Event: Global Anti-Scam Summit Americas 2024


The Global Anti-Scam Summit Americas 2024 featured a powerful session led by Kitboga, the renowned YouTube scam-baiter and founder of Seraph Secure, and Corporal Kyle Hoffman from the Arlington County Police Department. Together, they demonstrated how innovative tools and collaboration between private innovators and law enforcement can provide meaningful protection against scams.


From Scam-Baiting to Scammer Disruption

Kitboga recounted his journey from software engineer to full-time scam-baiter, emphasizing his mission to disrupt scammers’ operations while educating millions about fraud. Through his YouTube channel, he simulates the experiences of scam victims, exposing scammers’ tactics and raising awareness. His personal connection to the cause stems from the vulnerabilities of his grandparents, which inspired him to devote his career to protecting others.


Key insights included:

  • The Role of Remote Access Software: Kitboga highlighted the increasing use of remote access tools by scammers to infiltrate victims’ devices, steal sensitive information, and manipulate online transactions.

  • Emotional Toll on Victims: Drawing from firsthand experiences, Kitboga shed light on the devastating impact scams have on victims, many of whom face financial ruin and emotional distress.


Empowering Law Enforcement with Technology

Corporal Kyle Hoffman provided a glimpse into the challenges faced by law enforcement when assisting scam victims. He explained how traditional training often leaves officers ill-equipped to address sophisticated scams, particularly those involving remote access software.


  • Victim Assistance: Hoffman shared a case involving a retired government employee who lost over $1 million to scammers who had secretly accessed her computer for three years. Seraph Secure was instrumental in identifying and removing the malicious software, preventing further losses.

  • Seraph Secure’s Impact: Developed by Kitboga and his team, Seraph Secure is a tool designed to detect and remove remote access software from victims’ devices. Hoffman praised its effectiveness in empowering officers to protect victims and investigate scams more thoroughly.


A Call for Collaboration

The session underscored the importance of bridging the gap between private innovation and public enforcement:


  • Innovative Solutions: Seraph Secure exemplifies how tools developed outside traditional channels can provide immediate relief for scam victims.

  • Cross-Sector Partnerships: Kitboga emphasized the need for collaboration between organizations, law enforcement, and platforms to scale solutions and improve victim assistance.

  • Educational Advocacy: Both speakers stressed the importance of educating the public and equipping law enforcement with resources to combat emerging scam tactics effectively.


Looking Ahead

This session illuminated the critical need for accessible, scalable tools to combat scams and protect vulnerable populations. As Kitboga aptly noted, the fight against scams requires both innovation and unity, leveraging the strengths of diverse sectors to create a safer digital environment.
