Why He Started
FunGuy Media began his scambaiting when his mother received a call, in Jan 2020 from an internet provider who told her that her account had been compromised. His mom is very much “on the ball” but convinced her to remote connect: getting into her banks and emails. She then called FunGuy and he told her they were scamming her. He arrived shortly after and spoke to the scammers and “let them have it”. This all occurred before he began scambaiting.
He found she lost about 900 pounds in a western union transfer and google play cards, all unrecoverable, but was more unnerved that she fell for the scam. He reported the fraud but decided he had to do something. In May 2020, he lost his grandmother and began calling and harassing scammers on his own, and in May 2021 the anniversary of his grandmother’s passing he officially began his channel so he could remember the start date.
Influences
FunGuy Media started watching Trilogy Media, Scammer Payback and then found ScambaitTV. He attributes his start to ScambaitTV and all the support and help he gave him to get started, from advice to programs and links. He thanks him for all his help and support. Genesis Floods has also helped him with his bank, which he is grateful for.
His biggest influence now is Chester Drawers and Scambait Naansense, He also loves SkeletonSyskey, and would like to see more scam baiters from the UK.
FunGuy tells me that he suffers from anxiety and does both uploads and live streams. He uses the live streams to help his anxiety when he sees the uplifting comments that help him “lift his spirit”. When he is feeling down, he watches Scambait Naansense and DEYO to make him laugh and brighten his day.
Scambaiting Style
His style is one of being nice and genuine. He believes “Everyone has a heart whether they are scamming or not, they are still people”. When dealing with scammers he can be nice or nasty but prefers to have respect unless he is pushed to give a not-so-nice response.
FunGuy Media has a multi-faceted approach. Trying to both waste time and acquire information. He acquires bank info, reports the information, and then keeps the scammers going as long as he can.
It has only been 4 months since his official start in the community He says “I am still learning”.
