What happens if you pay a scammer?

Unusually, these pop-up scammers allowed me to pay by cheque (check in US). Big mistake! When they made their 'fixation' on my PC, they not only made the security worse but they revealed personal details of some of their other victims.

I've no doubt that we'll see either a feature length doc or limited series about scambaiters in the not-too-distant future. Whether it's something Netflix will buy or produce, I don't know. It's irrelevant really. But, based on their KZbin popularity, there's definitely enough interest in scambaiters and their excellent work to suggest that a documentary would do well. Especially if there was an effort to take their work to the next level ie an unprecedented effort to energize the relevant law enforcement agencies and criminal justice systems to prosecute the scammers.

Now she calls me whenever someone call her from "Microsoft" and tells her that her IP address is corrupting their servers. She's still not sure if it's real of fake sometimes, but she's smart enough to call me now just to make sure.

I lived in Gurgaon for 6 months a few years ago (I'm british but the company I worked for back then was indian so they had me work at their HQ for a few months) and the amount of ads for these kinds of jobs was insane on the local facebook boards. I did a bit of research posing as a work colleague by altering his name (With permission) and essentially the "call centre" is a company who has paid for leads from the company who own the scam error website, The employees are paid commission based on how many services they can sell and how much they can sell them for. There is no fixed price list, just how much they think they can scam from you. I reported 2 companies running these centers to the police (Surprisingly the police in Gurgaon are very co-operative considering people like Microsoft and IBM have huge development campuses there and want to keep them happy) and one quite famously got shut down. If i can find the news story i'll try and share it :)

Well the police themselves make dirt. It would be beyond easy to bribe them and I guarantee it happens. To tell me otherwise is to say a cop that's not being paid by Microsoft directly would not take a bribe from a call center and I don't believe that would ever be the case. That's not to say there aren't those protecting the interests of big tech but I'd bet it's heavily in the corrupt area.
