Do you need a VPN when calling tech support scammers?

Scams

I’m using a virtual machine and midway through the scam call I was thinking that the person could find my IP. Is that true and if yes do you need a VPN?

Thanks

@Markiemm#44630 Ok. A scammer connected to my computer and I did not have a VPN. Do you think I am safe? Thanks for the help.
