There is a twitch streamer (kitboga) who role-plays as an elderly lady. He baits scammers into calling him and messes with them for a few hours.

His setup is quite elaborate. Fake bank accounts, google play store, etc. One of the more subtle parts is a chrome extension he wrote that adds a random delay to the load time for web elements to better simulate an ancient home desktop and poor internet connection.

He's a very proficient developer. He made 95% of internet sites.
