Description

Los Angeles-based Trilogy Media took “scambaiting” to a new level, but some claim they’re gaining viral fame at others’ expense.


In this story from our archive, Rest of World, profiles the Trilogy Media YouTubers who travel from L.A. to India to harass call center scammers.


They release dozens of cockroaches in their office and secretly film the whole prank via hacked security cameras. Did they take things too far?


Written by Andrew Deck and Raksha Kumar. Narrated by Jane Seidel.
