Twilight Zone Scammer Bust
(1/1)
TaoPhoenix:
From the Bwahaha Dept:
I've spent a few hours having fun watching a couple of security guys doing exposes of the 3rd rate Windows support scam. (Troy Hunt and someone from MalwareBites).
They're entertaining enough, with a mostly predictable "formula".
Then this one came along. Troy Hunt again. Except this one takes a twilight zone ending. You're welcome to listen to the whole thing, but if you want to just skip to the fun part, go to time stamp 53:00. After poking about Western Union and failing at the whole credit card bit of the scam, the guy struggles to spell "Google Chrome" a few times. This part is like a prologue so you can get settled into the whole atmosphere.
Then we get to the fun stuff.
At 54:40, the guy opens ... Notepad. He types up his own "temporary form". Laughable, but so far still "in formula".
A bit past 56:00, Troy begins his wind down by typing in total junk. Notice the guy still has team viewer on, ... and isn't reading it, but rather still reading his script.
As a public service to Renny, he is advised to take a restroom visit at 58:00.
The rest is ... epic!
:D

In the first video, at 12:11, a timer pops up. Troy dragged it off-screen so fast... it appeared to go right past the edge of the YouTube screen.
As if someone was watching me watch the video and controlling my machine. Rewinding a few times calmed me down. :)
Also.. listening to the three different 'tech support' people brought back some not-so-fond-memories as well.
... ..- -.-. -.- . .-.
The FBI Scam had me jumping through hoops for a while... til i called Green Dot... :-[ ;D :)
btw what is: tera ma ka bor? FaceBook lists a: Tera maa ka boor. Google shows a: Teri maa ki bur.
i presume it's Hindi gay slang for something. i don't want to know. :o
