A robot is going to ask for a computer ID. The ID is: 75102

Most of the technicians I got until now are pretty stupid but one did manage to figure out I was using a VM pretty fast. Number works with FireRTC. Non of them tried to syskey me yet. Have fun!

lol

i am calling them rn

@Xxdinomcxx_18#13142 So, how’s it going? Right now I’m looking at a CMD.exe “microsoft tool that will tell us each and everything” that will take 10 minutes. Lol

Called them, I couldn’t use the machine ID code you mentioned. It just went straight to saying all agents are busy so I made up a 4 digit code “75104” and it worked. The guy got extremely annoyed straight away! A good one to call for sure.

@Whoevs#13143 really good i got there card number

15102 Also works as a valid computer ID.

And holy shit I just spent 30 minutes talking to Sid who was explaining to me that they are a legitimate company and nobody from their company tried to put a syskey on my VM. When that didn't work he hung up. I called back and they put Jhon on and we had a lovely conversation about him moving to New York to live with me. Oh, and he's not a scammer he's a con artist. I'm loling so hard.

@ScamMePlease#13144 just type in any code they dont check

@Whoevs#13147 do you kown you could type in any code rii


@Xxdinomcxx_18#13149 It rejected a couple I put in by saying: “Invalid computer ID.” I will try typing in different things see what happens.

I think I’ll write a script to figure out the correct computer ID. Must be time-based.

@Whoevs#13153 and if it say invalid just keep typing

@JimBrowning11#13154 I find with most of these 5 digit computer ID codes, If you enter any random 5 digit code you have about a 80% chance of getting through. Might have nothing to do with the code, but perhaps they are too busy at times and that’s why they say code is invalid?

It says all of the technicians are busy, i called back later and they’re still busy.

i called them with firertc and i used the scream sound and the guy started bursting out laughing
