I’m sorry but you very much are wrong in how you believe these groups work. I’ve been doing this for 6 years and your perception certainly is not reality.

Too many enjoy the fame and attention is exactly right, which gives away exactly how they work.
I'm sorry but I'm very much not wrong. You might not like knowing people know how these groups work, but it's not exactly top secret.
You put an adult pretending to be a child on some form of site be it social media, chat site or dating apps. You wait till an adult starts the conversation. You state the age of the decoy within so many messages. You pretend the decoy doesn't understand about anything sexual. The decoy will not lead the conversation. The adult will arrange the meet or if they don't, the group will arrange a meet by using an adult to then confront the person about the underage decoy. Sometimes they pretend they are delivering something to get the suspect to the door.
Those are the basics of how these groups work. You aren't doing top secret spy stuff, it's not hard to understand how these groups work. And a lot of them are bordering on the line of them acting illegally. I watched one a couple of days back, the team patting the suspect down, going in his pocket, taking out his wallet and then checking for ID. One group even had a 'paedophile' as part of their security team.
You can try to pretend that I don't know much about these teams, but apart from the basics I've listed, there isn't really much more to know.
