A YouTuber has tricked scammers into playing an impossible password game and the result is hilarious.
The man is known online as Kitboga and has documented his experience pranking scammers, much to the amusement of his 3.52 million subscribers.
The YouTuber used a custom version of the Password Game, which is a website that asks you to create a password, it keeps requesting more and more specifications, which seem normal at first.
It tells you to include an uppercase letter and a special character but the requests continue and get more bizarre as they go along.

In order to prank the scammers, Kitboga created a fake bank account page to make them think he has a lot of money but needs to reset his password in order to gain access to it.
Little does the scammer know but the password section of the page has been rigged to force them into an impossible round of the Password Game.
The first obstacle that the scam artist comes across is that the numbers in the password must add up to 25.
But things take a turn for the more bizarre when they’re forced to play Wordle in order to use today’s answer as part of the password.

With the promise of thousands of dollars, they don’t give up easily and Kitboga holds back giggles while the scammer, who has control of his computer, plays the online game from his screen.
The YouTuber then reads out the next task: “Your password must include the current phase of the moon as an emoji.”
They go on to play a game of chess and put an egg emoji into the password before it “catches fire” and the account is locked.

According to Kitboga, one of the scammers he fooled spent three whole hours trying to crack the game in order to access his money.
Fans of the YouTuber loved watching him humiliate the criminals. Taking to the YouTube comment section, one user wrote: “Having scammers unknowingly test their intelligence needs to become some sort of reality show.”
A second person said: “If they somehow do manage to end up winning the game and building a satisfactory password, the game should say "I'm sorry, but that password is taken. Please use another password.”

A third posted: “‘We're not here to play games.’ Proclaimed the scammer as he plays a game.”
And a fourth added: “The amount of tunnel vision these guys must get when they see all that money is insane.”
