  1. Windows Support: Go to Team viewer please. Me: I’m a professional computer engineer, do anything funny to my computer and I’ll reverse trace your I.P and send a virus to you, that will make your computer blow up. So, putting aside that fact, what do you need? *They hang up*. Me: Thought so :3.

    Lolno, i’m no computer engineer, just wanted to make this. :3

  2. How do you get these calls, I wonder? Do you post your phone number everywhere> I never get those calls and I’m fine.

  3. Mate, I get them all the time, they are either Indian or Jamaican most of the time and I will tell you, they erase your whole C drive and just completely remove ALL files and all you can do is watch, then they hang up. I’ve seen other vids, it’s sad. I’m glad they didn’t get you smart mate. Record them for sure next time, because now theirs resources now that your police will do about it. Over here in Canada, they are really cracking down on this, and people now are getting less calls.. Hope all this ends, but people will always try to find another way to scam our hard working money out of us.
    They don’t “feel” like they are scamming us BUT they know they are AND, their excuse is that “we so called SLAVED THEM and tortured in the past so this is what they do to us now . For one, EVERY RACE has been slaved, for two, is this the BEST they can try to do. Scum Bags!

    By the way , and please don’t take this offensively but I think it’s cool to see a British-Asian. I find that interesting,,Your the first one I’ve ever seen. And your Smart like the British and Asian lol! Again your cool man .
    +1 for the vid too mate! CHEERS!

    1. +Tahsin Uchiha When booting you will want to press either F2, F10 or Delete (or another key if your laptop is different, I suggest googling what key opens the BIOS on your particular model) and that will open up the BIOS. Then have a poke around and try find the virtualization setting, it should be somewhere under the processor sub-menu. It should be called Intel Virtualization Technology, vt-x or something similar, and just turn that on. Then save changes and exit.

      Let me know if that helped!

    2. Dont be stupid , the dont have servers, each caller has a seperate lone pc,. All you doing is making that one guy loose his job. Only way to shut these people down is complain direct to Microsoft, but they the ones creating all these fake companies by setting up certified providors so what you gonna do?

  4. How about setting up a virtual machine with a virgin copy of Windows, play along and let them connect to it so you can see what they do. (This may be somewhat involved if the remote access program uses https and can do things you don’t see on the screen). Let them “fix” your computer. If they ask you for a credit card number, just make one up. Then explain what you’ve done, that you baited them with a completely unused copy of Windows without any malware, and that you’ve proved they’re frauds.

    Oh, and blow away the virtual machine when you’re done. Just in case.

    1. +theglitched64 I found Troy’s videos after I saw this one. The man is a gifted genius. And a pretty good voice actor too.

      “Okay, type www.”
      “Okay, right mate, w…w…w… d…o…t…”

      I was crying from laughing so hard. Man, that poor “tech support” guy must have been in absolute agony.

  5. man man man, to win from hackers you should send virusses to the hacker and destroy their equipment.
    Would be more fun if anti-malware software did this. 😛

  6. lol maybe they should learn to code, make a remote app to lock there pc except for that payment page until they pay

    1. +Meme Youu Uh huh,so your not even sure how someone got into your data, and yet you think you know how ransomware works.

    2. +Tahir Ahmed Ok, but that’s pre-emptive, not “removal”. That’s like calling having a replacement hard drive a removal tool.

    3. So ransomware? Ive had it i just restored to a day before and was all good. Weirdest part is i got it visiting a forum about how to fix a wireless driver in a laptop…

    1. really? What language did you use and what features did it have? What file types did it infect, PE infection? Any fancy polymorphism? And how did you even give them a virus? You wrote an exploit for team viewer? The real virus writers find these comments amusing.

    2. i30delta Thats not how it works. They connect to you not vice versa and they’d have to run your “virus script”

    3. What language? Probs some java socket script :> Oh damn, nm this post was written 4 years ago.. well.. okay…

  7. If one ever calls me I will put on an indian accent and tell them they called one of their own people.

    1. I had one call me the other night. After I called him out on his scam, he started swearing at me. The kicker is he’d been speaking in a questionable Bengali accent up to that point. The minute I called him out, he switched over to an irate Brooklyn accent. XD

  8. If anyone ever calls me, I wish they would I wanna piss them off, I’m gonna do a joker accent, tell them if they ever call back again, I will put a ‘smile’ on their face.XD

    1. +mayettaxtriger436 Quick question: If I call these scammers and waste their time. Would this be illegal?

    2. +wellsandlava Are you asking me?XD How should I know? I doubt it. There’s loads of people on youtube who record themselves calling them.
      Go for it!

  9. i got one, i trolled them abit too

    heres what i did:

    so i have my reg pc and i have a 1999 laptop (has nothing on it) in the back (i put a jumpscare virus (to infect his computer) on the old computer then i sent the id of it to them they signed in to the computer and i could hear him scream i was like LOL
