Tech support scam - Live feed :D

AndyPix

Hi all, iv just stumbled on this and i thought some of you might get a giggle out of it !!


It is a live youtube feed of people calling these fake tech support numbers and winding them up..

Makes for some funny listening


And dont forget, while these scammers are busy being wound up, they are not scamming real people
:beer:

think they should drop the iffy accents, it'd make it more believable to the scammers and reel them in better

Might have been funny, if the link had worked Andy but I was told my Browser does not support any of the video formats used!

I love this guy who created a robot to speak to telemarketers. The conversations towards the end are so funny.

Apparently you can rent these robots for use on your own phone line too:

Thanks Andy, I've watched it in Firefox. I note that people are reporting that IE11 does not support HTML5 video format. I had a word with my Browser and then shouted at it but it made no difference. Maybe I'll have to scrap IE11/Windows 7 and load Linux ............ only joking!

If anyone has time I can strongly recommend listening to the Reply All podcast episodes 102 and 103 where they try to trace one of these call centres.

Weird, according to the link that comes with YouTube it says my browser is not the latest version. Yet I am on IE11 as you are. According to MS I have the latest version. Anyway the video (when I watched it in Firefox) wasn't that funny.
