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

SocialMediaRefugee,

The problem appears to be connected to your bank account and can only be fixed if you buy some apple gift cards…

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.

Fucking with scammers is a public service.

Kitboga, please relog back to your account.

peto,

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.

FQQD,

Microsoft? More like Hackrosoft!!1!!

Blackmist,

But I’ve sent all those to the CIA!

Evil_Shrubbery, (edited )

These are the same people - CIA just outsourced their call center to India & they have to send all gift cards back to the CIA, you just cut out the middleman.

MystikIncarnate,

Definitely. You should buy Google Play gift cards to pay for his services straight away.

IWantToFuckSpez,

Hello my name is Deepak John Smith. I’m Microsoft. You clearly have wirus you madarchod

XEAL,

Now please type dablu dablu dablu in your address bar

Fades,

You’d better send them an iTunes giftcard quickly just to be safe

Holzkohlen,

Well Manjaro is known for DDOSing the AUR. So there is that
