I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?
What ever u do, DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM THAT GIFTCARD SIR, SIR I BEG U DO NOT REDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM
DO NOT REDEEM
WHY ARE YOU REDEEMING
WHY ARE YOU REDEEMING
WHY ARE YOU NOT LISTENING SIR
WHY DID YOU REDEEM SIR
I hope we’re all referencing the same kitboga moment
If it’s sending information to Microsoft then it has clearly been hacked. Likely by Microsoft. It was very nice of that young man to break protocol and blow the whistle on this whole thing. You should send him an itunes gift card as a thank you.
Curious question, is it “safe” to let them enter into a VM that runs windows? And is there an easy way to record their ip (to hand over to the police)
It’s probably better to get in contact with the people who are professionals at this if you want to help out.
Does kitboga still have his tipline active where you can give him scammers numbers?
Good idea, I submitted.
Kitboga, please relog back to your account.
this made me laugh so hard, there is a YT channel that mocks and pranks this scammers and its hilarious.
There’s several of them. Scammer Payback or Kitboga come to mind.
IRLRosie is a good one too
Isn’t she the voice actor?

I once looked in Event Viewer and was gobsmacked by the number of wiruses and hackers in my compyooder.
Microsoft are NEVER, repeat NEVER, going to call you about your computer.
