Absolutely welcome.

If you like Trilogy Media, also check out Jim Browning, and YouTube will also serve up links to videos from others who are giving scammers endless grief.

Even Mark Rober of porch pirate glitter-bomb fame has gone to India to grieve scam operations in person.

The kicker is that the same software the scammers are using to try to get into your computer; if they can see your computer, you could see theirs if you knew where to look.
Its a two-way street, and they rely on your ignorance of that to make their score. Savvy types are luring scammers to connect to a Virtual Machine, letting the scammer think they have a good target, then they pretend to be old, and slow, and drag everything out while they quietly ruin the scammer’s computer working backward over the same connection the scammer is using to try and pull off their heist.

More scammers should be the victims instead of the poor slobs who fall for it. I’m not much into computer technology, but I did work 25 years in uniform in New York State’s prison system, so I don’t trust anyone or anything. Been retired for 20 years, but still have a heightened sense of security. I question everything. Today I had my yearly appointment with my Urologist. The person who checked me in started asking me all these questions, like who my cell phone provider is. I asked him why that information was needed. He said in case we have to hold a tele-med call with you. I told him that wasn’t necessary, because I’d never do a tele-med call. I had to actually sign my name to decline it. I go there once a year. I don’t need their patient portal, or their freaking tele-med crap.
