Fraudsters, scammers and bad guys, beware! G4 has signed a development deal with popular Twitch streamer and phone pranking vigilante Kitboga for the gamer-centric network’s first animated series.
Kitboga has garnered millions of followers across Twitch and YouTube for conning the cons by posing as victims of would-be phone scammers and wasting the scammer’s time, giving viewers a good laugh and rescuing a few would-be victims from the distracted scammers’ clutches.
“Phone scammers are pushy, rude, manipulative, and thanks to Kitboga, they’re finally getting a taste of their own medicine,” said Dan Martin, G4’s Executive Director of Development. “The animated series will highlight how ridiculous and inept these scammers are.”
“If you own a phone, you’re getting calls from scammers trying to trick you. I started streaming as a way to fight back and raise awareness,” said Kitboga. “The animated series I am creating with G4 will feature some of the most shocking and hilarious calls I’ve been on. This time, I’m the one tricking the scammers, instead of them trying to trick you!”
The animated series with Kitboga joins G4’s programming slate alongside the previously announced return of Attack of the Show!, X-Play and Ninja Warrior, a new video game competition series in partnership with WWE, and a limited four-part Dungeons & Dragons series with Wizards of the Coast.
