Re: What are the Dumbest Scammers/Spambots You’ve Ever Seen
Hi.
Oh, I had my fare share of scammers.
the usuals surely, the famous aunt from some african cuntry needing to transfer trillions of dollars due to one or another reason, fake mails by apple and Paypal, fix your grammar guys.
I also encountered the windows service center scam once and played along, they called me, i started an old windows XP VM.
He then pretended that there is a virus by showing me the event log, pretending to fix the hole thing by typing something into the cmd which did nothing really accept produce scroling output so it seamed like something was actually going on.
He then wanted me to pay for the service or he would lock my computer till I would pay him.
So he logged on to a credit card site and entered his account details, it was some kind of merchant account. remember he was still connected to my machine and was entering his details in my VM.
That was the moment when I did a screen shot, stopped my key logger and called him out on the scam. After hanging up I simply called the local police and basically told them that I had experienced an online scam and that I have the account details of the scammer. Wel, I guess some cyber crime department in my erria was pritty happy about that.
Greetings Moritz.
