The scammer whispers you. "Doubling money! Trade me 1 million gold and I'll give you back 2 million!" You've seen this scam a thousand times. But this time, you have a plan. You're about to waste hours of their time, expose them to the entire server, and maybe - just maybe - get them banned. Welcome to the art of counter-trolling.

In this episode, Boss Mode celebrates the beautiful moments when trolls get a taste of their own medicine.
