  • @Texas2SF Don't ever tell them that they scam or anything abusive to them, they then get angry and sell your identity. Just a warning, don't ever swear to them or shout to them and end the call. Always something like "I don't have internet" or "I don't have a computer." Just a nice warning for everybody too.

  • One day when they called me I had a freshly installed virtual PC running Win XP on hand. I played along, and gave them access to the virtual PC, and installed IOBit Advanced SystemCare onto it. Then I lost the call. I established that they had installed a keylogger onto the virtual PC. Most likely they were after passwords and bank accounts.

    Don't try this at home. I seem to have been recorded as an easy mark and since then have received calls from them regularly, often twice in a day.

  • I JUST got a CALL from these idiots , luckily i KNEW he was trying to access my computer remotely and i told him i wasnt going to allow him access to my computer and GOOD TRY THO! watch out for this one!

  • this happened to me today -_____-

  • @saskajules , ever since 2003 when my Windows computer got an e-mail virus, I added Linux in 2005 and by 2009 went totally Linux. No worries about nor do I have to buy Norton or AVG virus software, so if someone were to call me on the phone saying my computer has a virus, I know they're spouting BS.

  • It's like..O.K dumbass are you hacking into my computer right now? Really. You're a dumb @$%^$^. And what kinda moron lets "someone" at random take control of their computer. Lol. Yay for Linux. XDD

  • LOL had them ring me today dirty cunts :)
