Scam: That's the virus. Cna you get to my link?
Me: No, i can't. I must be running a different OS. Do you want me to trace our phone call now or after?
Scam: *click*
You really need to read the ARStechnica article about when they called them. Dude called his friend with a windows machine as he just had a mac. They had the guy on the phone for so long he was able to install vmware and get an image going and then ****** with the guy some more.
