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.

Hi, I was born and lived in B36 for a long time - Lindale Avenue, just around the corner from Hodge Hill Comp.
I just noticed your postcode on a post.

Do you still live in the area?

49 trips undertaken last year. First done this year which was to North Wales where surprisingly the only slippery surfaces were in Conwy with the castle and it's walls closed due to the ice.
