Additional information about this scam: these guys are telling me my Norton subscription is up for renewal. They want me to goo to a website to cancel it. The “support agent” lost his cool quickly so they should be a lot of fun to mess with!
800TollFreeNow, baiting with virtual machine.
i’m connected as well. how do i get the ip.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM VIRTUAL MACHINE BAIT:
- The scammer will claim your Norton subscription was auto-renewed.
- In order to “cancel,” you must throw your computer in the dumpster.
Set up a grabify link somewhere on the vm. Disguise it as something. Ive never done it. This is a guess
Sounds interesting! What’s a grabify link? I just irritate scammers like this until they block me, but I’m interested in learning how to really cause some damage
You got connected? Do you use a computer you can loose for this? I’ve wondered what happens when they connect to your computer and what to do from there. I just irritate them until they block me
So you were able to contact them? They didn’t answer when I tried to call back
That wouldn’t work unless if you reversed the connection, as the scammer will remotely connect to your device on your network and on your IP address.
Here is an easier way to grab their IP address when they remote into your computer. Note - This will only work with connections that are peer to peer and not when routed through a proxy server (screenconnect, Ultraviewer, TeamViewer). Its a light weight app that grabs all IP address an writes them to a text file. Will list the App name for easier filtering.
Ok thank you for that. Makes sense now that i hear it. Like i say i have no idea lol
