The protocol we follow to fight back safely, and a look at the tools we build to do it. Learn where to find them, get the right setup in place, then gather evidence that actually leads to a report — in that order.
Where to look for the phone numbers, pop-ups and fake support lines scammers hide behind — and how to verify a lead before you engage.
The safe setup we use to pose as victims: disposable virtual machines, call recording, screen capture and careful evidence handling.
Engaging scammers as a fake victim, steering the call toward the evidence that matters, and reporting it to the right authorities.
Off-the-shelf software only gets you so far. Over the years we've built our own kit for running safe, controlled operations against scam call centres. Here's a look at what powers the work.
Our little gem. A private mesh network that drops any machine, anywhere, onto one secure virtual LAN in seconds. It's the backbone that lets the team run disposable, sandboxed lab environments and work a case together — without ever exposing a real device.
Believable, fully interactive decoys — from dead-end dashboards to convincing account portals — built to keep a scammer engaged and talking. The longer they stay, the more they reveal: their scripts, their methods, and the money-mule network moving the money.
Everything an engagement produces — recordings, transcripts, account trails — captured, organised and packaged into a clean dossier. Combined with open-source intelligence, it's what turns a phone call into a case the authorities and payment processors can actually act on.
This is only a fraction of the kit — and much more is in development. Our tools and the step-by-step tutorials behind them aren't public: scams are a sensitive subject, and in the wrong hands these techniques do real harm. We share them with vetted members inside our Discord, and with the supporters who help fund their development on Ko-fi. Everything we do stays inside controlled operations, aimed at one thing — building evidence for the authorities.
