Note: This virtual machine is deprecated. Check out my much improved 2024 version instead: Pre-made Windows 10 Scambaiting Virtual Machine (2024 version)
This is a scambait-ready virtual machine with everything fully disguised based on Windows 10 Home. I created this virtual machine for VMware. Download the .7z file and unpack it. To unpack this archive, you’ll need 7-Zip (download link below). Open VMware and click on ‘Open’ and select the .vmx file. I set RAM to 4 GB, depending on how much physical RAM you have installed, change it up to 8 GB for better performance. Don’t assign more than 50% of your physical resources to the VM. The default user is Robert
, the password is 0808
. Also, I included a fake popup if you need one. It’s located on the desktop as ‘Micerosoft’ link. You can edit the number in the HTML. To customize more things, you’d need to activate Windows. This virtual machine is not activated. For that, you’d need to purchase a Windows 10 license key, e.g. on eBay for a few bucks. PS: You can change the wallpaper though: download any image you want to use, right-click on it and select “Set as Wallpaper” and you’re done.
