Scam Number: incoming, don’t have a number
Domain Used:
Extra Info: This one is a little longer than most of my others, but I wasn’t feeling well, and perked up quite a bit when he called. He was clearly confused several times at getting pushed off script, didn’t even mind when I said the computer was connected to the cybersecurity experts in Springfield. :slight_smile: He used one of the prank pages from geektyper.com, something I haven’t seen used in quite a while. I didn’t include the shift to a different computer (not really, just booted into Fedora instead of Archman; this one was long enough. He really didn’t know quite what to do with my questioning the anomalies in his presentation. And, as usual, it all came down to gift cards. LOL

SMH, the cybersecurity experts “can’t” fix the issue, but he, being a “techneeshin” can. And he was oblivious to “VirtualBox” when running netstat. Oh lordy…Nice play @ecw06471. Took you a long time to get bored, I would’ve called him out after 15 min.

LOL. I was feeling under the weather so his call was more than amusing. Glad I could waste his time.
