He’s on my VM right now. It seems like the good ole “your computer is infected with viruses” scam. He said that it was my “monthly tuneup”.

These Indian scammers have this MO:

They connect to you computer remotely.

They stealthily install a startup script.

They tell you to leave the PC and after few minutes someone will call

They reboot the PC.

Upon reboot you see a password prompt and a phone number to call for RANSOM.
