Set up a fake Windows VM to fuck with them

XEAL,

There was a very custom theme for Gnome 2 that made it look like Windows XP…

That might be even funnier, but there’s still a chance they’re proficient enough that they could cause problems once they realized what was happening. A VM would help mitigate the chances of that.

YouMayBeOntoSomethin,

Obvious answer is to do both: A VM of a Linux desktop skinned to look like Windows XP

westyvw,

There was a good version of windows 7 set up for this. Command prompts wouldn’t work right, and really messed with them if you gave then access.

I let one in once and managed to reverse the remote desktop and took over their computer.

That was fun.

All that malware should be running without problems. Wine’s gotten pretty good by now.

Kusimulkku,

I still chuckle about the fact that WannaCry the ransomware software has a WineHQ entry

XEAL,

But how’s Siddhartha going to find the Event Viewer!?

Kusimulkku, (edited )

Can someone confirm if syskeying works on Wine?

Ooops, (edited )
@Ooops@kbin.social avatar

Proper malware often still doesn't run. Cheap executables to encrypt your stuff and so on the other hand work well.

Which is why wine should be run as its own unpriviledged user...

Ah yes, I remember back in the day we had to build WINE with unofficial patches to get malware to work. How times have changed.

This is just microsoft executing their Extinguish stage.

AlijahTheMediocre, in extension is INCOMPATIBLE with current GNOME version

Change scary, my extension I used that is unmaintained won’t work in Gnome 45 and it’s Gnomes fault.

edwardbear, (edited )

WHY ARE YOU NOT LISTENING SIR

WHY DID YOU REDEEM SIR

OldManBOMBIN,

I hope we’re all referencing the same kitboga moment

Norodix,

Is that from one of these “messing with scammers” videos?

JadenSmith,

Yeah, I believe Kitboga did this with his voice disguised as an old woman.

Kusimulkku, (edited )

BITCH ARE YOU MAD?!?

Leirach,

My favorite is: MA’AM ARE YOU A PROSTITUTE?

One time I kept a guy on the phone for about ten minutes just playing dumb. Then he’s like, sir, what version of Windows do you have?"

I say, I’m not sure but it’s the one with the little penguin icon.

We actually had a good laugh about it together

havokdj,

Lmao

Fungah,

I won free airline tickets once and was shocked and appalled when they said I COULDNT use them to go to the moon. I fought long and hard for the right to use those tickets the way I wanted but alas.

Blackmist, in My PC is hacked

I once played along just to waste their time. Got to the point where I had to go to a site and get my IP address.

I told him it was 127.0.0.1, and he just said “I think you be messing with me now sir” and hung up. :D

You could’ve told him your local IP (192.168.(1…255).(1…255)), is completely useless outside your home network but looks real enough.

Anybody with a bit of technical knowledge will recognize a local IP address

You’re not hacked. They just want you to think so. They’re just phishing. EDIT: lol, my brain was off jeez

kandoh,

That’s the joke

EarthBoundMisfit,

Whoosh…

Evil_Shrubbery,

That can’t be right, I don’t think Microsoft is big in maritime fish processing …

abbadon420,

Lol. Brains be like that sometimes XD

MonkderZweite, in My PC is hacked

And you have no Windows VM ready to troll him?

Norodix,

No, this is the first time something like this happened to me. i dont even get it. In my country mostly young people speak english. Isnt the target demographic the elderly?

c0mbatbag3l,
@c0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world avatar

Young people can (and often are) just as tech illiterate as the elderly. Just because you grew up with an iPad in your hands doesn’t mean you understand computers.

Anon819450514,

From my observations, it’s even worse. I

original2,

Oh for sure … I (18m) helped out teaching product design at my school last year (a class of 12 year olds). When asked to open an app, many of them searched it up on google or didnt know how. We gave them the name if the app and only about 2/30 people

yoz,

Sounds like someone from your country is selling your data to India.

mxcory,

I did the opposite one day when I was bored. Wasted an hour with them and a Linux VM. Think they were the ones that had my Dell service ID for a tablet I previously owned.

this made me laugh so hard, there is a YT channel that mocks and pranks this scammers and its hilarious.

Schmuppes,

There’s several of them. Scammer Payback or Kitboga come to mind.

xaera,

IRLRosie is a good one too
