Description: We've all wanted to scream down the phone at scammers before. Some people even keep whistles next to the phone so they can go one better. But few out there would have tried to scam the scammers themselves. Well, there are people who do just that. Three to four times a week, for up to two hours at a time, LA-based voice actor Rosie Okumura telephones thieves and messes with their minds. It's known as 'scambaiting.' The 35-year-old has been scamming the scammers for the past two years, and has no intention of stopping anytime soon. (You can see her in action on her YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/c/rosieeeyuh) Rosie discusses what got her interested in scambaiting in the first place, and reflects on some of her greatest conquests.
