You don't have to be a tech-savvy cyber security expert to appreciate the new "true crime" style internet trend: scam baiting. It’s a form of vigilante justice that puts cyber criminals in their place and provides a front-row seat to the action for anyone who loves a good retribution story.

Let’s back up a bit. Scam baiting is where hacktivists (AKA people who know what they’re doing) take on scammers who are out to steal people's money or personal information. These online heroes drain the scammer's time and efforts, keeping them from targeting real victims. It's like playing a prank on the bad guys to protect the good guy!

The biggest players in the field, such as Scammer Payback, Scambaiter, and Trilogy, have even taken things a step further and have successfully taken down entire scam rings. Even so, scammers continually adapt their tactics and come back stronger making it a never-ending game of cat and mouse.

So, while we love the work of scam-baiting heroes like Scammer Payback, we can't always count on them to save us all. That's why there are super smart cyber tools, like Guardio, to protect us from online bad guys.
