    The characters and stories Kitboga comes up with are realistic. I wonder if they're based on friends or just spur of the moment? Hilarious how the jokers/scammers get so frustrated and take so long to figure out that they're being reverse scammed. I highly admire how he NEVER lowers himself to the same level as the lowlife scammer.
