Indian Phone Call Scam

[Aviador]

Just spent 30 minutes having some fun with an Indian chap trying to scam me.

It was very much like the one in the video.

I guess there are some people out there that will buy into it otherwise they wouldn't be doing it.

I ended the call after the caller asked for details showing on my PC and I said yes of course, it says "Indian Call Scam" and he laughed and cut off.

I notice one of the commenters on that video said that a friend of his had planted a "zip bomb" (a virus that causes the program or system reading it to crash) in a file labelled "Bank Details", and it came up on the scammer's computer while he was talking to the scammer on the phone. The friend then heard a lot of swearing at the other end of the line, so the scammer must have opened the file and unleashed the virus.

When I was talking to the guy I just tapped keys randomly so it sounded like I was following his instructions. It was so clearly a scam I just pretended to go along with it to see where it was leading.
