No, again misinterpreted: I faked him that that happened, just to blow his mind.
He wanted to plunder my computer for bank info or whatever they went for once in, so I thought I'd return the favor by putting as big a dent as possible in his day.

My girlfriend's elderly grandad fell for this scam and they sent a ton of emails to his contacts on his email that listed attacks Americans have made against Muslims (or vice versa) and some weird picture that says something like "keep watering the tree" with a liberal watering an Islam tree
I don't remember the full details but I saw it myself and it was really fucking weird

Next time they call you, go right ahead.
They are attempting to rob you blind, they are on the other side of the world so they won't get criminal justice.
Be their karma. Every interaction is a transaction, they try to take all your money so, what do you give them in return? I was polite until I realized that NO, they must be discouraged in any way that seems appropriate.
If you successfully guilt trip them, it will draw the moment that they quit, closer. The same with frustrating them, etc. Scare them, say you record the conversation for the police voice recognition software.
Its self defense and defense of others to shove a stick through their spokes.

Yeah it was really fucking odd. My girlfriend's mom brought it to the local police and they didn't care, so she contacted the FBI, and they said it was just a scam and didn't seem to care.

That sucks. I was surfing sketchy porn sites on acid and got the virus that seizes your pc and takes your picture with your webcam and claims it is the RCMP (FBI in the USA). It says you are being investigated for illegal porn have to send bitcoins to have your "file closed", which makes no sense even on acid, yeah just send the police bitcoins. Anyway I got rid of it doing system restore point. But I spent hours trying to figure out what to do as I am no computer expert, was tripping balls too, that was a shit trip. Couple of years ago now, the ransomeware these days is impossible to remove I understand. I don't hit unknown porn sites anymore.
I haven't had the call from India lately, my landline is unlisted though. It actually makes sense they would target landlines as old people have them, and old people are their number one target.
Exactly. Dude that's fucking awful though especially with bitcoins. I've gotten the FBI,IRS,LA COUNTY and so many other scams call me. I only watch porn on my iPhone now because most viruses I know of are PC/Laptop based.
I watch 100% of my porn in my phone because u

Reminds me of that south park episode about jewelry, shopping tv networks and old people getting scammed.
