** DO NOT REDEEM THE X. [[labelnote: Explanation]]The scammer Steve tried desperately to convince Kitboga to give him some gift card codes, only for the latter to ignore him and (seemingly) redeem all of them on a dummy website. Steve could then only screech "DO NOT REDEEM THE CARD!" [[BrokenRecord over and over again]] in horror as Kit ruined what he believed to be his payday in front of him.[[/labelnote]]
* MisaimedFandom: Due to a chunk of the scammers being Indian, racists began utilizing Kitboga memes (such as 'do not redeem') as stereotypes for Indian people as a whole; of course, this isn't Kitboga's intention, and in fact tries as hard as he can to avert this: whenever he represents scammers visually (and it's not their real face) he uses random stock photos or as drawn cartoony robots. Even when playing the 'Rival Scammer' voice, he doesn't try to imitate an Indian accent. If anyone tries this during the chat on his Twitch stream, they tend to get shut down almost immediately.

* TearJerker: [[https://youtu.be/tzXRb8PdmJo "Saving a Victim from a 7 Year Scam"]]. While going through a standard scambaiting routine, Kit unexpectedly ends up connecting to Sarah, an elderly victim who had been viciously exploited by scammers for years. Kit can't hold back his tears when explaining the situation to her, and asks her if she knows anyone tech savvy he could talk with to help Sarah clean her computer up. The lonely Sarah had no family members or friends who could help, but she did know a "technician who regularly helps her with tech support"; Kit was immediately suspicious, and after talking to said "technician" quickly confirmed that he was [[FromBadToWorse yet another scammer taking advantage of the poor woman]]. By the end, both Kit and Sarah are in tears as she explains that she lost virtually everything she had to these people. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Thankfully, Kit went to great lengths to support her in the aftermath and help her get back on her feet.]]

* CatharsisFactor: If you or someone you know, particularly your grandparents, have fallen victim to these scammers, then watching Kit waste these scammers time, piss them off, and report them to fraud professionals can be very satisfying as an indirect form of revenge to these people.
