ScammerRevolts produces scam-baiting content and follows the same format. Some examples include making installation or failure to follow the technician's instructions, such as:
- Allowing remote control software like LogMeIn Fast Support, AnyDesk, Zoho Assist, and commonly TeamViewer.
- Force deleting scammers personal files and any potential victim information.
- Immediately blocking scammers input and putting their computer ransom by applying "syskey"; which applies a startup password when the computer boots, because most scammers use Windows 7 - it can easily go through.
Most of the videos are pre-recorded, but some of the videos are livestreamed which are around 2 hours long. All of the livestreams are organized into a playlist, and there are frequent community post which are connected to a video announcement. The YouTube-hosted videos are usually around 10-15 minutes long. There are custom thumbnails, and the videos often have large text with emojis and picture in picture which highlight the moments of the video.
Beginning in December of 2018, ScammerRevolts established a yearly tradition of compiling his Top 10 scambaiting highlights of the year.
ScammerRevolts has a trademark affinity for Shiba inu and corgi dogs, particularly featuring "doge" memes of the former as wallpapers on his desktop or shown to scammers in almost every video he creates.
Typically, the scammers on the other end of the line react to the inevitable reveal of trolling with passive-aggressive to extreme rage; projecting low-level, highly-lewd narratives and often relentless general swearing in English, as well as their native Hindi dialect. S/R exploits this fundamentally-comical behavior by fanning it as long as possible with equalized vulgarity, and mockery of the scammer's failure. Sometimes however, ScammerRevolts trolls the scammer by acting rude first, typically inciting a rawer reaction. Upon their hanging-up, S/R will dutifully continue to repeatedly call the same scammer/office until they disconnect the line. Their frequent use of the determiner "each and everything" when reciting their script or engaging in abuse is iconically enjoyed by the scambaiting community.
S/R's style of trolling is complimented by an extensive vocabulary of prime Hindi swears. Most popular (and enraging) are bhenchod (sister f'er), bakrichod (goat f'er), teri maa ke choot (your mom's gooch), teri maa ke bose (roughly; your mom's "prostitute womb"), rundi (prostitute), chutiya (dumbass), and gaandu (gay.)
In 2020, ScammerRevolts introduced "the chicken", a kazooing gag rubber chicken that he unleashes on scammers at the peak of verbal confrontation. A headphone warning is provided as its "demonic" noise is quite alarming and unpleasant, if not righteous.
