A scammer called me today. They were saying that harmful files were moved to my computer and they needed to remove them. I don't think they are ever going to call me again.

S = scammer; M = me;

S: this is tech support we need access to your computer because we detected harmful files and need to remove them.
M: oh my! Hold on, let me go to my computer now. How can you access it?
S: we can just use RDP and delete the files. They are in a hidden folder that is encrypted so this Is the only way.
M: oh ok I believe you. Hm... it looks like my son only allows certain IP addresses to access our computers.. I don't know how to disable this so can you just email me your IP address?
S: Sure...

He then sends me his actual IP address... it doesn't even look like a proxy or VPN.

M: oh my I forgot that you need my password to login. It's really long and complicated... can I just email it to you?
S: Sure!!

I then tell him to hold on I have to find it that my "son" stored it somewhere.

At this time I'm taking a photo of my bare ass and attaching it to the email. I then say in the email "Please note what my job title is in my signature.. I just sent the FBI your name, phone number, email, and IP address. Please enjoy my bare ass, you'll see a lot of it in prison."

    Nice rant, I can see this working on the less technical.
    Don't exactly know why he would see your ass a lot in prison though...

    Haha. Good one. Sometimes the scammers and scammers seems funny when you know your stuff.

    So...If he's going to see your bare ass in prison does that mean you are also in prison?

    You guys take things so literal.

    What are you, a bunch of developers or something?

    @fyroc something along those lines, yeah

    @fyroc
    That might be the most astute observation of the day.

    And to continue on that note: We literally have no idea how he (scammer/future-sexy-orange-suit-barer) is figuratively going to see a lot of your ass in prison. πŸ€”

    Butt not to worry as good developers we will have some sleepless nights and present you with a creative solution (not a hack, it is after all a fellow developers ass on the line hereπŸ˜‰).

    @fyroc We're a bunch of dicks. And I've heard there's a lot of those in prison too, in addition to the bare asses.

    When you say it doesn't look like a proxy or VPN, how can you tell?

    I've had that happen a couple of times. I just say that I don't own a computer.
