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.
