Newbie Question and Scammer Information
Posted: Mon Jan 04, 2021 4:01 pm
Hi! I'm so glad I stumbled onto this forum
An elderly relative of mine was recently scammed from an MS-77x1 pop-up to "Call in 5 minutes to have this virus removed or all data will be lost" (something like that). Anyway - we handled it and protected her from future scams after she was out $270.
Through investigating, I found their real email account (used for paypal) and their personal phone number and am thinking about baiting them continuously until they shut that down. Has anyone heard of this address: <snipped-bware419ers>? Maybe it's old news ...
Their very illegitimate website: <snipped-bware419ers>
Any recommendations?
Thanks so much,
Jamul
