This scammer is literally reading of a script.... He doesn't even pay attention to whats actually happening. "Remove all hackers" You can't remove 'hackers' from existence. "Remove error and warning" What errors? "Update IP Address" I'm fucking done. "Install Email security" Wot... "Install Anti Malware Bytes" Install a program to prevent you from installing Malware Bytes?
Mystical Flying Magnet I'm too lazy to check, but I think it is called Anti Malware Bytes or Malware Bytes, but it is actually a legit virus protector that many people recommend. I used it for a few years and I only got errors scanned when I tested a fake virus, so it does it's job. The indian scammer probably was gonna download a fake version tied to his scam company.
Good job, Lewis! Love your work. I think that more people should learn about these scammers and learn that not every "problem" must be fixed. Some can simply be closed.
use autohotkey (program for automation) and setup so of the scammer type "tree" it will auto correct to something eles, or setup a keybind and every time they hit a letter a message box appears. could you please do this?!
Wow, i've seen many others who have exposed them to the point where they quickly try to set the syskey or try to enter into folders which were purposely named things like "porn" or "Passwords" thinking that there are legit files in there, But you actually just completely rekt that bloke to the point where the only thing he could do is just act like he doesn't care about what you've done and then just try low things to harm your PC which was a VM pc. Also editing syskey to show the password was absolute gold as that is there trump card, there ultimate attack to the unaware which you completely stripped him from. Love it!
Lewis, how can I prepare myself from "Microsoft Tech Support". I've been called by then a few times and I want to have a bit of fun with the scammer. I already have Windows 10 on VMware.
I really enjoyed this video and a couple others I watched. I really liked how calm you were during the whole evolution. I can't stand when people are obnoxious during their videos. Keep it up man!
before your next call, set a syskey :D or, if they trying it hard like in one of your last videos, dont close the syskey window, just type some characters in the first/second box and if the scammer hits "okay" there will be a prompt ^^
He said that because most people who know of Malwarebytes know more than the average guy about tech as Malwarebytes is not well known like Norton or McAfee which in many cases are bundled with pre built desktop PC's and also Norton and McAfee can be bought in store and I have never heard of any store selling Malwarebytes and I don't even think they sell license keys (may be wrong because with Norton or McAfee you can just walk in to a tech store like Best Buy in the US or PC World in the UK and get Norton/McAfee keys)
love your videos...they bring much needed info to people who know nothing about computers & are easy targets for scammers.......glad to see Jim Browning watching them also...big high 5 to him... as it was him that got me started watching these sort of videos on youtube...both of you's are very good at what you do....keep up the good work & look forward to your next video....
Classic vid, but one thing I didn't understand: Why was he, at some point, trying to drag out the batch file into the main computer? Is that some sort of VM exploit?
*Hey bro! I just want to let you know that I really enjoyed this video! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to really understand what was going on at first because you don't have CC enabled on your videos nor sub-titles.(Please add sub-titles or contribute the CC Feature because their are deaf people who watch videos too man on TH-cam! But, after about 30 minutes, my sister wrote everything down for me on paper and I was able to read and watch the video together so I can say, that this video was very interesting! Thanks bro. You'll probably never see this comment but at least I know I left it for you. Thanks and take care bro.*
In another comment thread you keep telling a guy he's fumb because he thinks 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 are legit ip adresses and that he can DDoS He is obviously being sarcastic and is now just seeing how far he can get you to go. It's seriously embarrassing for you that everyone else knows he's not being serious.
i'd love to see a video where you call a real tech support to see if they're able to notice the viruses properly too. I mean the scammers are one thing, but the real experts should know right away.
I just received a call today from a scammer. Who should I give his information to (I have his IP address along with a bit more information about him)? I special place to post it, notify the police? What to do? I don't believe that the national police in my country have the economy to do anything about it.
i love it when you tell them "you are a scammer and i made that program" and they go like "so this means you have a hacker on your computer. Wanna buy security?" like you dont know they are scammers xD
Hey, I've got an idea for your next Scammer bait video. Ask them for help, installing your antiwirus and place a rogue-AV on the Desktop. They open it and something like Jigsaw-Ransomware comes up. I'd excited for their reaction :D Just discovered the channel today and already watchted several "scammer exposed" videos. Great work, keep it up!
If you disconnect the "scammed" computer from the internet, then call the fake "tech support", can they still mess around with your PC and dig up data about you? That's not possibe... right?
I saw this thing on Amazon where it basically just types random stuff and moves the mouse it's this USB thing I want to see how thise marcadochds would react
he uses VMware Workstation (works the same as VMware Player Pro) its like using a normal computer getting it all setup but virtually (there are youtube vids on how to set one up)
Hey Lewis, at the end where the scammers usually try to mess up your system, can't you just block incoming packets from their indian ip to force them just to watch what you are showing them without them trying to setup a syskey?
This was hilarious. I laughed my ass off when the red popups started popping up. ""Tree" isn't a scan. Stop Scamming!" "Netstat" doesn't show hacking. Stop Scamming!" and the guy just ignored it, just moved the windows around, and stuck to his script. This scammer has an obvious script and has no clue what the hell he's actually talking about. Remove all hackers? Decrypted all data. What the hell is that supposed to mean??? "Hey. want a job? No. You don't need to have to know anything about computers. Just get on the phone and read this and get people to send us money. Oh. By the way. Your name is now, John Anderson."
Thnx Lewis a few weeks ago a scam website popped up on my parents laptop we called the scammers and told them we would pay tomorrow not knowing they would scam us the next day I was watching your videos and realised that it was a scam I told my mum and told her it was a scam she said we're lucky that we didn't pay (cause it was $200) thank you for helping me lewis
IP is working in your computer but not available in your computer.. Jesus Lewis you have so much patience... I would of hanged up, specially painful cos am a Computer Technician.
You mean if you installed an OS on another hard drive and put it in your computer? Yeah you could use the computer again but it wouldn't really be solving the issue. Same thing if you were to partition in but you probably cant partition an encrypted HDD, but I'm not sure about that.
+KingofHearts67 my rig dual boots with one partition windows 7 and the other is a copy of backbox Linux, I was thinking that I could boot to Linux and then brute force a decrypt, I was just wondering if ransome wares tended to encrypt the partition or the entire hdd.
Modify the tree command so it prints once: "Scan complete. No viruses found."
You are the best! The most entertaining part is when scammer realizes that he/she has been Pranked, Trolled and Busted.
agreed lol
YYYYEEEEEEESSSS
Not the AOL and Myspace accounts!!!!!!!
aim too...
Of course- how could I have been so careless?
+FatzCatz and Windows XP Pinball, Minesweeper,Runes cape. honestly I could go on for HOURS...
Oh no my MSN account!!!!
Not my Hotmail account?
"My name is..."
**thinks of the whitest name possible**
"John Anderson"
my name is
(thinks of he yellowist name)
Chichyong yung
At least they should use a believable name... glad these stupid idiots are working to scam instead of others who may be more believable
I have a WIRUS on my DEXTOP
I didn't think about how long scammers can be on phone after they realize that their victim tricked them... Calling half an our after they're exposed.
Pay us at least $149,99 to remove a $150 ransomware... seems like a good deal!
How do you make the "Tree is not a scan, stop scamming" thing come up?
This scammer is literally reading of a script....
He doesn't even pay attention to whats actually happening.
"Remove all hackers" You can't remove 'hackers' from existence.
"Remove error and warning" What errors?
"Update IP Address" I'm fucking done.
"Install Email security" Wot...
"Install Anti Malware Bytes" Install a program to prevent you from installing Malware Bytes?
"a program that "prevents" you from installing malware"
sounds like malware
Mystical Flying Magnet I'm too lazy to check, but I think it is called Anti Malware Bytes or Malware Bytes, but it is actually a legit virus protector that many people recommend. I used it for a few years and I only got errors scanned when I tested a fake virus, so it does it's job. The indian scammer probably was gonna download a fake version tied to his scam company.
Actually you can remove hackers from existence just use nukes! Examples: Kim Jong Un, Trump, Hitler (just because) and etc
Ah man!
He didn't even read the red text!
All that work for nothing!!!!
the scammer sounds like the adults in the old Charlie Brown
Good job, Lewis! Love your work. I think that more people should learn about these scammers and learn that not every "problem" must be fixed. Some can simply be closed.
I don't think they know what a virtual machine is.
use autohotkey (program for automation) and setup so of the scammer type "tree" it will auto correct to something eles, or setup a keybind and every time they hit a letter a message box appears. could you please do this?!
You have to wonder what they are doing with all that scammer money, if not buying better mics...
Desertdwells lol ikr
CAN WE DO ONE THING? REACH 400 likes?
400 likes for the video or 400 likes for your commend?
Serkanamore the video :)
WE CAN REACH 400 LIKES! WE WILL REACH 400 LIKES!!
You should have 4k likes...one of the most underrated channels on TH-cam.
+Lewis's Tech who is Serkanamore
Why do all scammers call from a potato?
Pete Setabandhu You get bad reception , calling from India to the uk.
Wow, i've seen many others who have exposed them to the point where they quickly try to set the syskey or try to enter into folders which were purposely named things like "porn" or "Passwords" thinking that there are legit files in there, But you actually just completely rekt that bloke to the point where the only thing he could do is just act like he doesn't care about what you've done and then just try low things to harm your PC which was a VM pc. Also editing syskey to show the password was absolute gold as that is there trump card, there ultimate attack to the unaware which you completely stripped him from. Love it!
I always love the endings of your videos when u just start roasting them xD
Same
Sizzle Sizzle!!!
I reckon it pairs well with curry.
Lewis, how can I prepare myself from "Microsoft Tech Support". I've been called by then a few times and I want to have a bit of fun with the scammer. I already have Windows 10 on VMware.
Stay
Calm
And
Expose
Scammers
I really enjoyed this video and a couple others I watched. I really liked how calm you were during the whole evolution. I can't stand when people are obnoxious during their videos. Keep it up man!
It's never that easy to get rid of ransomware
These scammers are so pathetic. Keep up the good work Lewis's Tech!👍
Whats the link to download it?
I would love to see how a Scammer would react to a computer without notepad
before your next call, set a syskey :D or, if they trying it hard like in one of your last videos, dont close the syskey window, just type some characters in the first/second box and if the scammer hits "okay" there will be a prompt ^^
The scammer is not very aware, he did not even see the Clear Events batch file until you told him about it.
"Update IP address" lol if he means change it you gotta call ur ISP
actually to update your system ip adress is simple as ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew (the system will then start making a new IP for itself)
worked on wireless second refrain from using the R word here many users get a strike if google sees anyone using the word
its better if users still refrain from using the word bub many can find the use of the word offencive
yep :P
Actually just restart your modem.
How does one go about removing ransomware, particularly this one? I'd like to try this.
They made a program that finds and removes malwarebytes. ANTI-MALWAREBYTES!
He said that because most people who know of Malwarebytes know more than the average guy about tech as Malwarebytes is not well known like Norton or McAfee which in many cases are bundled with pre built desktop PC's and also Norton and McAfee can be bought in store and I have never heard of any store selling Malwarebytes and I don't even think they sell license keys (may be wrong because with Norton or McAfee you can just walk in to a tech store like Best Buy in the US or PC World in the UK and get Norton/McAfee keys)
Anti-Antivirus?!?
soon there will be a anti-anti-antivirus, backstab a backstabber trying to backstab your antivirus
love your videos...they bring much needed info to people who know nothing about computers & are easy targets for scammers.......glad to see Jim Browning watching them also...big high 5 to him... as it was him that got me started watching these sort of videos on youtube...both of you's are very good at what you do....keep up the good work & look forward to your next video....
is it just me or do the scamers piss u off with their excuses
Classic vid, but one thing I didn't understand: Why was he, at some point, trying to drag out the batch file into the main computer? Is that some sort of VM exploit?
*Hey bro! I just want to let you know that I really enjoyed this video!

Wow, fascinating 😊
ill pass this on to lewis
+BytrrTech Hey Bytrr :) I saw you in the latest stream, sick job :)
In another comment thread you keep telling a guy he's fumb because he thinks 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.1.1 are legit ip adresses and that he can DDoS
He is obviously being sarcastic and is now just seeing how far he can get you to go. It's seriously embarrassing for you that everyone else knows he's not being serious.
I appreciate the feedback, I'll look into CC or subtitling for next time.
i'd love to see a video where you call a real tech support to see if they're able to notice the viruses properly too. I mean the scammers are one thing, but the real experts should know right away.
Random Question: Any Ideas for a good Anti Virus software? :3
MalwareBytes
avast for the beginning
+hOI im Tem Avast is being used to spy on users. Use Norton instead.
firrst of all.PBFFFT.FUNNY.second.i`m russian.BRRRUTHER
Eset Nod32
Why don't i hear any of the other scammers in this scammers call center? On every other video I could hear a lot of scammer chatter in the background.
Get wannacry, that will try and spread to his computer.
your tech scam vids are brilliant...... been watching them for the last week :) keep up the good work bro
John Anderson LMAO WTF
I just received a call today from a scammer. Who should I give his information to (I have his IP address along with a bit more information about him)? I special place to post it, notify the police? What to do? I don't believe that the national police in my country have the economy to do anything about it.
The disclaimer makes me think he watched my video before making this ;)
Thy god has arrived to bless us
Great work man! Keep them busy, those damn scammers.
+Lewis's Tech haha you need to speak slowly coz after all, after explaining to him, he didnt get it lol :D
I love what you did with command prompt with the red text and what you modded it to say. Great job.
i love it when you tell them "you are a scammer and i made that program" and they go like "so this means you have a hacker on your computer. Wanna buy security?" like you dont know they are scammers xD
I know that this is probably a obvious question but does tree actually tell you if there is a "wirus"
The real tree does...
No it doesn't, the tree command simply displays a list of files and folders.
+rifflife ok thank you for letting me know
Depends
Is it coniferous?
i love that you just sit there all calm like id be either laughing my ass off at them or calling em every name i could come up with as an insult tbh
Hey, I've got an idea for your next Scammer bait video.
Ask them for help, installing your antiwirus and place a rogue-AV on the Desktop.
They open it and something like Jigsaw-Ransomware comes up. I'd excited for their reaction :D
Just discovered the channel today and already watchted several "scammer exposed" videos.
Great work, keep it up!
I would love to know how you made the "tree" command output a custom message. That is hilarious. Good video btw
Nevermind, I did some research and figured out/learned how to do it.
ez dude he opens up a fake cmd and programm it to put the message he wants when he type tree
I personally just changed the name of the original command so it could not be run and wrote my own script. I assumed that is what he did too.
Haxor! Channel Sorry, forgot to tag you fam
If you disconnect the "scammed" computer from the internet, then call the fake "tech support", can they still mess around with your PC and dig up data about you? That's not possibe... right?
You wouldn't be able to mess with them anyway then, unless you plan on asking them if their refrigerator is running.
+Lewis's Tech Hello, I am wondering. What is this regarding "scammer strike" or something that you have mentioned and I have been reading about?
Instead of deleting the event log delete it then fill it with information saying "system fine" or something like that.
Are the scammers unable to see the two taxbars at the bottom of the screen?
It angers me seeing that they're so stupid and still think they can scam. Just doing what the script says so stupid.
Can someone give me a download link to the ransomware please?
I saw this thing on Amazon where it basically just types random stuff and moves the mouse it's this USB thing I want to see how thise marcadochds would react
Dude you are awesome on so many levels, as a fellow techie, mad props!
Lewis what do i need to do to my virtual machine to make sure the scammers can't access my real PC or network? thanks so much if you respond.
can someone explain how virtual machine works?
what virtual machine do use and can you show how to set it up
he uses VMware Workstation (works the same as VMware Player Pro) its like using a normal computer getting it all setup but virtually (there are youtube vids on how to set one up)
Upvote
what if you restart the VMware with the ransomeware
I believe the most efficient way to "remove all hackers" is up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, start, select
Good Job keep up the good work. We need to put all of these people out of business.
What happens when the malware you downloaded on it takes effect?
have you programmed syskey or edited by decompiling and the compiling it with a c++ compiler
I am an Indian guy I called up this scammer and he started abusing me
I liked the end, he seemed genuinely interested in and enthused about the fake syskey
Hey Lewis, at the end where the scammers usually try to mess up your system, can't you just block incoming packets from their indian ip to force them just to watch what you are showing them without them trying to setup a syskey?
I love how the scammer was in denial.
Lewis.. How can i get access to a virtual machine on my desktop?
www.virtualbox.org/
Install VMware
go have a look at my channel. i have a tutorial
***** Lewis and I are mates. He is fine with me posting that.
+WeNeedCoD Plus, it's relevant so who cares?
I really want to know what the scammer installs on the computer if you pay the $149
Do you bridge your connection or how do you have it set up for your virtual machine. Aren't you worried about the virus making its way to your host.
Lewis are you not going to upload the highlights from the stream?
Do you have a tutorial thingy about the Virtual Computer program?
This was hilarious. I laughed my ass off when the red popups started popping up. ""Tree" isn't a scan. Stop Scamming!" "Netstat" doesn't show hacking. Stop Scamming!" and the guy just ignored it, just moved the windows around, and stuck to his script.
This scammer has an obvious script and has no clue what the hell he's actually talking about. Remove all hackers? Decrypted all data. What the hell is that supposed to mean???

BaconMaster u serioysly hav to be stupid if u did not know it was a scam (Sry)
How do I get a vm and this virus I want to follow in footsteps
i need a jigsaw ransomeware sample to test some please provide a download link, thankyou
How do you remove this malware after these videos?
where do you get the decryption tool? Just in case this ransomware ever appears..
+JamesTheCoder Lewis said that this is one of the weakest ransomwares and was easily decrypted - nothing is "unbreakable"
+JamesTheCoder so the decryption key is included in the ransomware??
+JamesTheCoder good article, thanks.
+JamesTheCoder was saying thanks for the link lol
LOL at the scammer that tried changing your resolution and letting you revert it back. ALSO the syskey LOL
IP is working in your computer but not available in your computer.. Jesus Lewis you have so much patience... I would of hanged up, specially painful cos am a Computer Technician.
I just can't believe he simply ignored it.
Great video by the way, really funny.
can I get your fake startup key? they all ways put a start up password on my vm's thanks
how can i get darkcomet?
or is there an alternative?
how do you get a virtual machine?
Anyone know where I can get ransomware samples???
can a dual boot pc get around jigsaw?
You mean if you installed an OS on another hard drive and put it in your computer? Yeah you could use the computer again but it wouldn't really be solving the issue. Same thing if you were to partition in but you probably cant partition an encrypted HDD, but I'm not sure about that.
+KingofHearts67 my rig dual boots with one partition windows 7 and the other is a copy of backbox Linux, I was thinking that I could boot to Linux and then brute force a decrypt, I was just wondering if ransome wares tended to encrypt the partition or the entire hdd.
Jigsaw is weak, you can remove it and use a decryption tool.
+minton brunkhorst oh gotcha. I wonder that too.
Can you do a tutorial for those batch files and the fake syskey?
Hey Lewis, i was wondering where/how you get your malware and ransomware from? I'd love to have fun with this one day with a scammer lol
These scammers are pond life. Keep up the good work.
how to get jigsaw sample ? Thanks
Is it just me or (with headphones on) can I still not hear the scammer?
What is a Dextop?
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Dextop&
It's a desktop with the X in it. :P
How can you understand what the scammer says with her bad microphone
You. Now that pc you have that they can see that butbthst can't see you pc can you pot virus on it and it won't effect you real pc???
How did you make cmd say TREE IS NOT A SCAN?
I dont need security.
Meantime on actual computer malwarebytes at bottom left fshing red...
