This came across my email the other day. Quite funny as it goes with the original post of this thread. This is NSFW, so please read the article and then play the video. How to Catch a Scammer<http://www.warp2search.net/news/story/how_to_catch_a_scammer.html> Daniel On Wed, Feb 13, 2013 at 12:04 PM, Steven Peck <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: So, a current scam in the US is to charge to put something on like AVG Free while root kitting the system. Once that is done they start to 'find problems' and progressively charge you and once you refuse to continue to pay they will try and lock you out of your system.

Scamming is what those guys do for a living, so I guess they either get good, or go hungry.

He had a call from “Microsoft” from WV a technician with a very tick Indian accent, apparently my friends computer was infected and kept sending out spam to a server but the technician assured him that he would fix it, just connect with TeamViewer and he’ll fix it. My friend said to me it must be real because he had called 3 times and even left a phone number! Luckily he got a bit suspicious and called my on his cell, I told him to immediately disconnect the TeamViewer session. I don’t think the technician had enough time to do anything malicious before he was disconnected. I asked my friend to do a system restore from a few days ago. How can people be so gullible?
