It hurts my brain how stupid these people are. Ouch.

The guy I spoke with sounded some sort of Asian. He was a nasty piece of work, too. I could barely understand what he was saying. I do not understand why people do not just check with their banks when they get one of these things.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM VIRTUAL MACHINE BAIT:

  • The scammer answers as PayPal and will ask for your name and birthday. If you don’t have a PayPal account, he will ask you to throw your computer out the window.
  • I called back and got a separate bhenchod who simply hung up.
