"you have a virus, pay us to fix it"

Extorting rupies to buy a toilet

He's trying to poo on your street

>fuck it, let's see where this goes
>he wants me to allow him remote access to the computer, follow this site
>I hang up laughing and calling him a stupid fucker

wew lad

>implying he'd use the toilet

I knew a girl in college who actually fell for it

>Hello, I am Pajeet "Champion of Poo Street" Kalameet, I work for Microsoft a-
>hangup

This does not surprise me

>It's a call center pretends they are calling from a company and know who they are calling with an intro line hoping to nail the person the intro refers to while actually being hired by said company to act as human spam bots that bother people with shitty services and offers no one wants episode

>install virtual box
>install 100,000+ toolbars and adware
>give pooinloo access
>watch
Why don't you just find out?

I had the same idea. I hope I get a call soon so I can do that.

...

Didnt some viruses learn to detect a virtual box and escape it?

Then use a separate partition, or swap out the HDD and put windows on it.

How the fuck can you "escape" a virtual system? That'd be like magically jumping between two computers that are next to each other.

>Answering a number you don't recognize
You do realize that you're going to get more and more calls like this, and that the number of telemarketers/scammers who call you will just increase exponentially?

It happened to me. I answered a number I thought was familiar, but it wasn't (might have been spoofed)
Fuck those guys. They make their livelihood by just repeatedly bothering people and trying to scam them

I wish I still had my old desktop computer. I don't quite remember what I did with that thing, but I corrupted it to the point where anti virus programs started creating corrupted programs

you can do that too

newstatesman.com/future-proof/2013/12/researchers-prove-pc-viruses-can-spread-microphones

I'm in a position where I may receive job offers from unknown numbers

the ironic part is I was taking a shit when he called

record it if you do

That's terrifying

Sadly, one of my family's numbers always shows up as an unknown for some reason. It's the calls that give no answer at all on pickup. you have to look out for. Those are to check whether a line is active or not before deploying the actual salescurrys.

So that's why they don't poo in it!

>tfw your dad fell for it and spent 2000$

Misleading title, they where digging to make a toilet where they found the coins.

Unless I'm expecting a call, I usually just let it go to voicemail if it's an unknown number. People should just leave the message if it's that important.

The fuck is wrong with indians?
The entire country is like the stereotypical caveman brought to the future scenario.

lol his name was seriously rajesh? that's some serious indian paki shit. I put he poos in the street on his way to work. holy fuck i have some indians living near me and they smell like garlic all the time, it fucking reaks. my dog hates them too probably because my dog is based as fuck.

why are parents so fucking computer illiterate? fucking baby boomers are getting senile

Take away your dads computer and phone privileges

>get one of these scam calls from rajesh
>tell him im using a mac

>new guy comes on

>puts me on hold, transfers me to the 'apple department'

>awkward pause

Whoa. Rude.

he's not even a baby boomer, he's a 60 year old alcoholic turk who thinks he's right 100% of the time
>the family's face when he got the phone call, panicked, and ran off to some warehouse to pay his scammers

>he's not even a baby boomer

UUUUUBUUNNTUUUUUU

>google it
>mfw

>“Now the virus will detect if it is running in a virtual machine and stop doing the nasty things it should, preventing us from seeing the behavior of a virus.”
It's interesting, but it's not what user was talking about.

i thought baby boomer was an american thing or is it world wide

>fall for nvidia meme

good graphics, nice settings shitty overclocking

>fall for amd meme

okay graphics, nice settings, actually decent overclocking without burning down a house

the downside is no buffed tress-fx, physix

I'd roll nvid if you have the money to and thats me speaking from both sides of the spectrum.

Every single human bean born in and between 1945-1965 is a boomer.

babanı da pkk hesabını ele geçirdi diye kandırdılar mı kanka? :D

So uhh where does the toilet witch thing come from anyway?

>file attachment changing electrical and molecular structure of a CPU into a grenade
I bet people believed this shit

My uncle was called by one of these scumbags a few months ago. He's completely computer illiterate and has to be walked through even the most basic tasks, although in his defense once I've shown him exactly how to do something he fucking remembers it and I don't have to do it again.

He was smart enough to come get me when they tried to tell him there was something wrong with his computer. It was the first time I've ever ran into this sort of scam so I let the guy on the phone drone on a bit just in case it was actually legit, its fucking laughable how incredibly fake it all is. They truly are preying only on the most ignorant of the old folks.

I eventually got tired of sniggering and laughing at him with the phone on mute, told him I knew what was going on and to piss off, and hung up. Uncle was sitting right next to me and I clearly told him not to believe any sort of bullshit like that and if he ever doubts it to fetch me.

Indian beliefs. No I'm not shitting you.

>Good journalism is expensive. Turn off AdBlock.

Hahahahahahahahahaha. No.

I see it saying that the viruses can detect that they're running on a VM and not run, but I don't see anything that explains HOW it could actually get off the VM and into the computer running it. I'm gonna do some research because it'd be very interesting if it was possible, but the Kaspersky guy's claim is a bit dubious and seems to assume the user is a dumbfuck corporate drone.

Plus, I doubt some loo pooer would actually pay for some kind of advanced virus like that instead of just the most basic ransomware, since they're targeting really stupid people and old farts.

Good idea. My grandma gets lots of calls like that and usually fucks with them because she's extremely sharp for an almost 90 year old woman. I'll probably have her contact me through Teamviewer next time and we can work out an EPIC PRANK BRO

It trolls them for you. Add the number to call, then mute your line.

>SIR, HOW CAN YOU NOT TELL WHAT COMPUTER YOU ARE USING, DOES YOUR COMPUTER HAVE AN APPLE?
i've read that part in indian accent, holy shit

here you go, fag

Wow what a retard. I was visiting my grandparents when curry called their house phone. My grandparents would fall for this shit too. Luckily I picked up the phone

I could still see the article, but I'm not turning off AdBlock just because a website is "too expensive :(".

Thanks anyways, though, fag.

Extremely high population, with an extremely high poverty rate, and few restrictions or regulations on working conditions or pay makes them an ideal modern slave labor solution.

A lot of them are surprisingly smart, or at least smart by usual standards, but the poverty is driving them into shittier and shittier conditions so even the smart ones very rarely get to go to a decent school and just die in a dung filled pit somewhere.

>Weekly World News
I feel like even when this was published, nobody believed it.

>there are turks shitposting on Sup Forums right now
i dont even speak the language because its so shit

To be fair, dumbfuck corporate drones are one of the biggest targets of viruses.

Huh, my mom called me earlier today telling me she got a call from someone with an indian accent on behalf of Microsoft trying to get my mom to do something on her computer. She told me she hung up on the guy, but it just has me curious: Is this happening more often lately? Some weird scam going around?

I always saw these massive buildings full of Indians at phones in the movies, but I never realized how bad it was
>hello?
>incredibly thick accent, barely comprehensible
>hang up before I bust a gut

He was a legitimate Microsoft employee, he was trying to get you to upgrade to Windows 10.

I put this as my computers shut down screen back in 95.
Mom pretended to be worried

>call up my ISP to get a little help with setting up the router because i'm a fucking idiot
>they say they're gonna connect me to someone who will help
>immediate dread
>get connected
>mfw it's a native with a perfectly understandable english accent
>done & dusted in 2 mins

It's because of windows 10
More people are willing to listen

Literally what is the difference

I've had it happen more often recently as well.

I wish one of these people would call me so I can waste their time.

I keep getting these calls since a few weeks ago.

They say they're calling from Microsoft and that I never replied to their survey about my drivers. And how my drivers are sending them errors and if I don't talk with them my drivers might lock me out of my computer.

Dude got pretty nasty when I said I was capable of solving any issue myself.

>microsoft
>doing anything about bugs and errors you send to them

They find your number with this

>shiggity diggity wiggity doo

Don't let Sup Forums meme you into thinking the lies such as windows have advertisements and such. You can literally pin and unpin anything you fucking want. It be like me bitching how windows 7 sucks because it still use internet explorer. Just fucking change it then?

It is still shit but just not for those reasons.

>tell him it has 'oobuntoo'

Guess I'll borrow this for the next time.

>Jamaican phone numbe

Are there Indians in Jamaica now? Some sort of proxy maybe?

descendants of indentured workers. when slavery ended, the jamaican govt needed laborers and indians worked cheaper than former slaves and chinese.

>play voice message

kek

>hello?
>AY MON, I HEAR YOU HAVEA COMPUTER TRUBBLE YA?

meme magic at it again

Somehow I've gotten calls from pooinloos that fake the caller ID to be the local police station. My tech-illiterate mind can't figure out how they do it.

>$.02 has been deposited into your account

What the fuck even happened, how did this become so prevalent in the last few weeks.
