Hello all! Today's festivities feature a slightly restless Microsoft tech support "manager" calling me after I trolled his scam call center for over 3 hours. Enjoy! Follow me:

This is the classic "Microsoft" Tech Support scam, and these technicians claiming to be from Windows will tell you that your computer has these "viruses" that send error reports to their special servers somehow. Scare tactic BS. The scammers attempt to remote connect to your computer through various legitimate programs on sites such as Ammyy.com, Teamviewer.com, and logmein and others. The scammers then attempt to charge you ridiculous amounts of money for their "help." Huge scam and absolute BS. Have fun listening to this call! He gets a little pissed... Number is down and hasn't worked in months. If I find him again, you're the first to know.
Had a lot of fun with this call. Check out my previous video, trolling a gift card scammer as "Barack Obama": youtube.com/watch?v=HxhmKY15xKI
