Have You Ever Received a Scam Call?

To raise awareness about scam calls, Mark Rober and Trilogy Media hacked into the computers of scammers. They gained access to the scammers' personal information and the surveillance footage of the scam centers. They filmed a series of pranks to expose these scammers.

Exposing the Scammers

One of the pranks included revealing the true identities of the scammers. They also disclosed the addresses of the scam companies and altered the scammers' voices on the phone to sound like chipmunks. These pranks aimed to embarrass the scammers and reduce their credibility.
