It’s Wednesday. Have you ever got a phone call from Microsoft telling you that your computer was infected by a nasty virus? Yeah, it’s a scam. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who don’t know any better and fall victim to this scam, losing hundreds or even thousands of dollars. The people behind the scam are well organized and are often located outside of the United States, which makes it difficult for authorities to bust them. The video featured today was taken by someone inside one of these call centers, exposing how they operate, the software they use, and even who and where they are. Very interesting.
