The scammer isn’t trying to hijack the customer’s computer. He’s trying to hijack the customer’s credit card. But you’re right that the last thing the scammer wants is for the mark to contact his regular computer guy and complain, because the regular guy can talk the mark down and get him to see reason.
That dress is about two or three wardrobe malfunctions waiting to happen.
Is that why? I thought is was to create a genetic double to kill and replace me.
I wouldn’t be so sure that he isn’t trying to do both - charing for spurious and unnecessary remote antivirus work, and leaving trojans on there when he’s done.
I was just trying to create a rumor involving corporations, robots, scammers and witchcraft in hopes that some day I can enjoy seeing Fox News watching Old People repeating it as fact. I would consider that my greatest joy and accomplishment in life.

I will not rest until I see a FW:FW:FW:FW: email or FB share on the subject of evil corporations using consumer robotics for witchcraft!

Never heard from the guy again. In my experience, customers who eventually Learn that the complaint they made was a bucketload of ignorance do not come running back to admit they were wrong.

Since he had to hire someone far more expensive to show him I was right, that I should be willing to cover that bill :rolleyes:

Nothing, customer never called again, nothing ever came of it.

And it only took 3 years.
