Hey everyone! My favorite part of messing with this scammer was when I revealed that I actually work for Microsoft and was just having fun with them on a virtual machine. What was your favorite part of the video? Leave a comment below and let me know! And if you want to interact with me more in real-time, come find me on other platforms at linktr.ee/barnacules. Can't wait to hear from you!
As soon as he heard that card number is not real. . his disappointment. . priceless 😂 I am from India sorry that you guys have to go through this.
@@rickc0011 From what I understand they do actually do legit work (as a cover), then behind they scam people. Though am unsure of their legit legal work though of course....
I used a Indian accent and said they called their own tech center. Guy was speechless.
niicceee
that's a genius idea
Genius
I did the same thing hahahahaha
ownagepranks did that. fucking hilarious outcome
New scammer has been identified at 1-888-473-7734, they are using a browser popup to convince the user their computer will get corrupted if they don't call Microsoft at that number and get support immediately. Everything is misspelled in the dialog so it's obvious we're dealing with some uneducated idiots again. Please call them and make your own videos and upload them, it's the only thing that stops these guys. Please like this comment so it moves to the top so everyone can have fun with these idiots.
There are a number of those pop up browser ones. I got one myself, and being technically unsavvy called the number. They had me pretty convinced until they got to sell point, trying to charge me $AUD400 odd for their software. They really went into the sales pitch - like your mate Charlie :) - that was when I clicked. I shut down the support window and deleted the software they had me install (because it was my actual computer not a VM). I then ran Malware Bytes and a number of other spyware programs to fix my hijacked browser. But yeah, I love this video. So many people would get scammed and either buy the product and or reveal their credit card details to these people. Thanks for making this. Will share. :)
u just mad cause they fix computers goodly and english good
i just called....
+No “ThisIsImpossible” Name wirus.
haha funny !
this helped me today at work. I work at a bank in Jamaica and a customer called me today asking for help because his transaction was not going through on his credit card. He and the "merchant" were on the phone and they were trying to explain to me the many different names and countries that the transaction may come from and to allow them. the "merchant" sounded like the guy in this video to me so I told them id fix it and they can try again in 30 min, but didn't actually "fix" anything. I hung up and called back the customer to ask if he is sure that he trusts this "merchant" and he decided not to do it.
The fact that I watched your video a few months ago helped me to help someone else.
Bless you for taking the time to help that person.
Bank of Jamaica is lucky to have employee like you... Bless you !!!
I Want To Make Thank you so much so many elderly not aware of this crazy world today
My mum has had similar scam calls before and she's told them before that yes, the computer had a virus but it died and we buried it in the garden. When I heard her say that for the first time I couldn't stop laughing.
I like that, probably going to steal it and use it
I say we have a pc and it’s a red star computer and when they ask “it’s made in North Korea
you should have left like 15 tabs of porn open
lol
Only 15....?
tomcornwall83 lol, as many as possible without lagging it too hard
Assuming he's a Chrome user, he could have just about 100 or more. At that point they're too tiny to even see the icons for, so he could say not to look through his tabs since one of them has his bank account open, then fake having an emergency so he could leave the scammer alone to search through the tabs to find it. He'd probably need to look through almost every tab only to realize that there is no bank account tab.
Bonus points if his boss sees him and fires him for watching porn at work.
BlueDiamond Cow Porn!??? Some Dark - Marowanas web shit there, Worse Than Silk Roaaad
I had someone call me once saying that my Windows machine had a virus. I told them I had a Mac, and they just hung up. I was so disappointed that I didn't get to chat with him.
Jagcycle that's a good point in having a mac though. This scam wouldn't be possible on a mac. Apple just scam their customers with their high prices.
cinqo7 they are possible but they are not educated for mac XD
should of done what i did, i was playing with unix and had them connect to that instead of my windows machine..that would of been epic if they connected to the mac...
Jagcycle they called my friend last night while we were setting up his new 4ktv and I heard him say something about his computer and I was like no way! So I told him to fuck with them because it was a scammer, he did for a bit then said he had a Mac also and they just hung up too haha
lmao
Good old Charlie Williams, I haven't watched this in a while. This is fun, I need to do this again.
LETS GO BARNACULES!!
Hell yea
I like the wallpaper tho
Dude, plz make another one
Next time, live stream it with the stream tab on the browser... that would be epic!
Sitting on my virtual machine is a folder called "My Bank" and in it is a nifty program written by a friend that installs when they open any of the 'banking' documents in that folder. It does a very good job of removing files on the computer its installed on. I have entertained about 10 of these guys over the past months and to a scammer they have gone into loops to distract me while the nab a copy of that folder. I did not know if it was actually getting to these guys until I got a call back asking what I had done to their computer!
I love this. You should give it to others so they can do the same thing!
Would you mind sharing this program with me, please? I've been writing some scripts of my own to start blasting these scammers with my bank of VM's.....the more ways to pound them the merrier! :-)
Could you send it to me?
Way to go Pam. For those of you who have the knowledge I think the more damage you can inflict on these scumbags the better. Thank you.
Excellent congratulations!!! Nice program!!!!
You could hear his excitement the further he got you into his scam process.
Onyxsolo 600 likes no replies lol
Ali Emre Burlukkara YOU RUINED IT
This guy actually is trying his hardest on his BS.
+legoman7041 he really is, lol.
Barnacules Nerdgasm dude love this vid
yeah i can't believe How much effort they put into this like you're this far from having a actual real job. minimum wage is probably very low at where the scammer is from.
Bart Schellings Dude they can milk up to 1k from the most gullible of people, they can find like 20 in a day.
You literally destroyed him! Good to see people who actually go against them!
Literally? So there's nothing of him left and he's a pile of ash on the ground!?
@@Hellwyck I should have said "metaphorically"...well, given the age of the post, let's just call it a "sin of the youth", okay?
Lol, it must suck to be an Indian and a legit tech support employee.
EctoRoyal Yeah lol
Dell support
They'd probably have to put on a fake accent.
ThatBlokeOverThere [Ω] They don't need to they are legit Indians.
I mean a fake American accent.
I would like to announce to you all that TeqFly.com is officially offline. I just checked the website today and the account is suspended. A month ago we got their payment system to suspend them and now their ISP has suspended the website permanently. I can't get verification on if they are being prosecuted but at least we got their money taken away and their scam destroyed. I plan to do a follow-up video since we did such a good job on this and saved a lot of people from being scammed!
woo!
Lol you posted this right when I finished watching XD
you are a legend!!!!
Barnacules Nerdgasm j
I haven't laughed that hard while simultaneously having virtually no clue what was being said in a very long time! Also last year I had one of these calls, but I didn't answer, my EX-Girlfriend's Mom answered and was freaked out, but it was amusing to me
Whenever they call me I tell them that I'm running a Commodore 64 then I blast a phone modem squeal into the phone. They usually hang up on me.
Whenever they call me, they always say they're "calling from Windows." So, I ask them from which version they're calling. They become very frustrated and hang up!
"My Computer? It's an Amiga 4000. Do you have a kickstarter version of teamviewer für me?"
These idiots are so illiterate, in computer and also everything else in life, they'll will even not know that an Amiga is :D
I once had one connect into my linux computer and he just hung up
This deserves more likes
I take it all seriously, and let them know that I will pay them as soon as the lost inheritance from a Nigerian Prince that I am about to collect, comes in.
I'm Indian and I don't like what this guy and what he's doing, Barn let me know if you want to take legal action against these scum, it's really sad to see people like this exist.
He is hired by a American cheater boss! So, out of Indian Law Boundaries.
Americans are brain behind scamming like this
Let me get this straight, because I'm kind of lost here. The scammers are working for, and I quote you, "an American cheater boss", and they are working out of India,( nobody said these were from India), but I'll go with it, and hires them "out of India" to create these scams. If there was an American behind this, don't you think they'll use native English speaking people? Your argument really doesn't make sense.
+Jaikanth Jay actually he is hired by an indian boss not anyone else, so get your facts right , i myself have seen and had friends who work in these scams, this is immoral and illegal in india too , there are hundreds of shady companies like these working and operating in the capital city New Delhi and NCR like Gurgaon these guys should be ashamed of themselves .
I'm completely sure that that isn't the case, I mean, who'd be stupid enough to hire people who can't even talk in english properly to scam native english speakers??
+Shahe Ansar kid then you need to get out more seen these scam happen in front of my eyes
One of those scammers once called my great grandmother. She doesn't have a computer.
HAHAHAHAHA
😂
One scammer called me and could hear an old lady answer before I did. I kept quiet for a few minutes then asked if they could both hear me. When they said yes I told her he was trying to scam her then shouted at him that he should be ashamed and to leave her alone. I was so angry but glad I could intervine.
Lol
They use the `last utility bill ` didn't go through scam and you have to provide your bank details to prevent immediate `disconnection `.
Loving the folders on the top left corner 'adult pics, tax returns, personal information and TOP Secret' 🤣🤣🤣
You sir are a LEGEND. We need more people like you .
One of these jackasses called my parents, said he was from "microsoft" and that their "windows pc" was sending his computer error messages and if the computer didn't stop, they could be sued. Needless to say, this freaked my parents out, so they agreed, to let him "fix" the problem. Little did the tech scammer know that they were behind a Linux router, shorewall and web cache that I set up myself, so when he tried to get in, it was a no-go. Of course it was also problematic because they don't have a "windows pc" in their house, every computer runs either Linux or Mac OS X. 45 Minutes later they called me and told me what was going on and that the guy couldn't get onto their computer to "fix" it and I informed them that it was a scam and that they don't even own a "windows pc", so they had nothing to worry about. The scammers called them 9 times over the next couple of days, trying the same schtick, until my parents finally just stopped answering the phone from numbers they didn't recognize.
These scammers are a menace to society, but the scam-baiting videos here on youtube are insanely amusing. I've watched thousands of them over the past month or two and I just can't get enough of them. The scammers get *SO MAD* when someone screws with them and that makes me *very, very happy*. I heard that the Indian police, in conjunction with the FBI, busted a call center of over 700 people a few weeks ago and 70 people went to the pokey...this also made me *very, very happy*. I'd love to see every one of these scammers in prison, with a very large roommate named Guarav, who paints tits on their back. ;)
Scott R Thousands? Yeah, most likely over two months.
Scott R "...who paints tits on their back" brilliant!
linux ftw
If you can, could you do a video how you did all that / set that up.
Most of the information can be found on the Arch Linux wiki. They have information on just about every Linux application you could ever want...how to install, how to configure, how to use, etc. You don't even have to run Arch Linux to use it (although there may be some subtle differences if you use other Linux distros). Manjaro is quite easy to use and very Arch-like, as is Antergos (if you don't want to use Arch proper). If not, shorewall and squid are pretty common applications, so a google search would probably help you figure it out. Don't be scared off by Linux, it's not nearly as scary as people say it is.
or you could pick up and say "hey you called the wrong number! it's rakesh from 2 cubicles down!"
ownage pranks lol
LOL
Or answer as another microsoft scammer
subtle ownage reference
You will have to put on a good Indian English accent.
or worse, 10 hours of "Never gonna give you up"
I wasted 33 mins of my life listening to this scammer trying to be a genius... (But it was funny at the same time.) 😂
@Don White half full
26:56 I'm pretty sure he said " I'm doing good ASSHOLE thanks for asking" 😂😂😂
I am so late to the party but I think he says "doing good AS WELL, thanks for asking", with a bit of accent
@@MuZ1ckQ but it sure says it like asshole, lol
@@beramoose I love it when BN says somebody get him a CC program.
I usually do this: tell them i'm turning on my pc, it's says "windows update 3%". put phone aside then go back to work. Occasionally tell them "windows update now 27%" - "windows update now 63%" Let them wait for bout half an hour, then when it "reaches" 95%, i go back "windows update now 89%" untill they realize i'm fucking with them. Get's them really, really pissed off. One guy kept calling me for 15 minutes after, calling me names till he gave up. Had good lulz.
Winning without effort!
yesss like #108 my lucky # :)
haha
That is pure genius. I don't get them anymore for some reason, but when I did I never thought to waste their time.
i need to try that.
Lots of questions being asked in the comments, make sure you up vote this and check the video description near the end for the answers to common questions.
You should tell him because you are the racist.
You tell me, I wouldn't know.
Barnacules Nerdgasm Exactly :P
Being a tech channel, I'm surprised you had to answer some of those questions. Maybe its time for a VM 101 video.
Glad to see you back in the swing of things Jerry, wait you worked at Micorsoft? What happened ;)
Had an asian accent guy say he was "steven banks from london" I answered in a thick brummie accent (I sound a little like ozzy osbourne if i really put it on) "I'm Bhangra Singh from New Delhi", he hung up immediately
when they call me and say i need to clean my windows ill tell them no its fine the maid was here yesterday cleaning the windows and the shower
lol
When I was like 12 I nearly fell for this shit. I was browsing very shady porn sites when a popup completely covered my screen including the taskbar, couldn't anything but see the popup. It demanded me $100 in some gift card or the police will come get me. After a few seconds, there were sirens going on outside (purely coincidence) which freaked me out, I was completely frozen and all I could do is shut the computer down and hope for the best. After I turned the computer on again the popup was gone.
Matteo wow that must of sucked
Matteo that's hilarious
Matteo I've seen that one before, only a few months ago. I was on my phone too.
Scammers are clever bastards, I'll give them that. Not smart, just clever. I only say not smart because it said the "FBI" needed me to give them a $500 Walmart gift card or I'd be prosecuted for possessing kiddy porn. Not just saying it was for browsing either, it specified possession too. Now at first my heart skipped a beat, but then I remembered that'd be extortion if it was legit, and cleared my cookies and caches, that got rid of it right quick. It was a stubborn pop-up though, didn't go away until I purged my cookies/caches. Still stuns me how over the top it is, though:"Give me $500 in Walmart funbucks or you'll go to jail for possessing child porn."
Hope no one falls for that one.
Memed by sirens :P
Party Almsivi the FBI needing a $500 Wal-Mart card is hilariously shady enough.
Honestly it helps me when people share my videos but I want this one shared not just because it helps me but because it has the potential to educate people on the scams before they walk into them. Please post this on your Facebooks and Pinterests where family members that might no know better get their news. Every single person these people call that doesn't fall for this saves $200 and sends these guys one step closer to having to find a different scam.
Please pay 1599.99 for lifetime support. Thank you.

hi
+The Hoax Hotel hey hoax hotel! 😁
Just shared this video to all my gaming buddies, facebook friends, and going to post on my twitter. thank you for making this video. i have personally gotten calls like this and my parents have told them that they are not the computer tech in the house call back in ___ time and the computer tech should be in. they had me go through command prompt to get some serial number that was on all microsoft licenses and made me believe something was really wrong. (kinda scared me that he had the product key until i found out it was generic) so i went along with it like oh no this crap is really happening my computer is sending out this malicious software and i need to fix it. 3 hours on the phone trying to get this guy to help me i mentioned "what if i do a clean install" and well my computer doesnt have any mysterious files visible or hidden anywhere how can you be sure. he took an extended pause and told me that there was nothing i could do buy buy some $300 "malicious be gone" program. i DID NOT buy this program as i was under age at the time and did not have a credit card. i feel like this is a great educational video for the non computer nerds and a must watch video for everyone. they say dont believe everything you read on the internet BUT sometimes you just cant believe what you hear on the telephone either :) thanks Jerry
I had just such a call earlier today. I asked them to please hold while I got the FBI on the line so they could trace the call. Then I heard a click.
Heavy Indian Accent : Hero am ChaRLie Williams from vindosh tech support call
Ah oke sir,from vindows.
Wait a moment,there is some one at my front door.
After half an our,i am back.
And the hang up???????
Thats rude hey?

Who else was staring at his screensaver the whole time it was up?
Indago V me it's hot

Indago V me
I thought it was really cute for whatever reason...
Nah, I was playing Age of Empires II while listening to this.
So a "Microsoft support employe" called the Edge browser "Internet Explorer" XD
+Grega Meglic yup
Edge isn't as bad, the old engine, Trident, got rewritten for the most part, so it's practically based on a new engine, don't remember the name now.
HTML5 support is pretty decent and many other features are ok. It's still not up to Chrome or Firefox (or other popular browsers which aren't that different than these two under the hood), but it catched up pretty good. :)
So you can use Edge without further problems, if you don't need need Add-On's.
But please stay away from Internet Explorer, that's a different story and an awful thing for web developers. Glad they have hidden it in Win 10.
microsoft is suposed to get used to it. really unexpected. they were the ones whowrer the ones who made the project XDXD
IE11 is bad because it tried to help people too much. I was drowning in suggestions and false autocompletes. And Edge is nice browsing engine but it really lacks the features to be useable. And it sucks that it is a universal metro app with all the problems of big multi monitor setups.
Lothar Scholz Can't participate on that.. Never used it much, just for Website testing; Chrome is my preferred browser, secondly Firefox. But Edge doesn't seem to be not user-friendly - it shows shome tips and optionally a little guide on the first start.
Dang this was some funny stuff. Guess these scammers will never learn.
I watched a different channel and he exposed the fact that at some of these call centers they had scammers that could speak a variety of languages. You have a new subscriber now
My dad works for NEC as a system administrator and he received a call like this about a week ago. Then guy who claims his name is 'James' was, of course trying to scam him but we weren't in his computer room and my dad pissed 'James' off by telling him that there's more than one computer that he owns and asked what the computer's hostname was, as if the computer really had a virus and they were trying to fix it, they'd know it. Of course, 'James' got pissed off and hung up. He keeps calling though, and you'd think he's learnt something by now. My mum has a plan to let him ramble on, and then ask what she needs to do. When he says "Go on the computer" she's going to respond with "Oh no, I'm not allowed to touch his computer. If I do, he'll beat me." and we'll see what he does from there lmao
bloonoot Did the plan follow through?😂😂
That would have been a video in it's self if the scammer had believed his mom
Did it work
someone need to count how many times he says "cimputer" i stopped counting after 54 lool
zeeman su no
zeeman su 178 bud
Or MAM.
I once rang tech support for my machine (I knew one of the guys that worked for them) and I got the manager who used very chatty and straightforward language. Long formal language on a professional phone call is generally discouraged in my country. (Also deliberately mispronouncing words is a big no-no, needless to say).
178 or something like this.
zeeman su You know the guys at Microsoft use this recording as a drinking game!!!!!!
This literally just happened this morning (7/2/16) and I decided to release the video tonight since so many of you guys asked for it on Twitter. I hope you guys enjoy me wasting an hour of Charlie's (aka. Raj's) time and being the first person to expose TeqFly.com on TH-cam. Hopefully enough people will read the video description and contact the legit companies involved and get them to black list these scammers and take all their assets. Hanging up on a scammer just sends them to the next mark, but scamming a scammer not only entertains yourself and other people but also helps to put an end to the practice. Thanks for watching! If you have scammed a scammer yourself please respond to this comment and let me know your story.
omg this is so funny
Wow, just...wow......can I have your intelligence?
Nice I was laughing so much my stomach hurt make more of These 😂😂😂😂😃😂
Raj!!! Haha Savage....
seen a few of these types of videos, always entertaining! new meaning to Jerry-rigged.
This happened to me last week.
They probably had nightmares of Barnacules’s laugh 🤣😂, love the vid
really enjoyed this. Just learned of scam baiting two days ago and it's all i've watched since then. Love that you guys take and jam your talents right down their throats. esp. like the syskey attacks. I saw one yesterday that had the, ahem, tech crying and begging for the baiter's help. the baiter even made him password his own bios afterwards! CLASSIC!!
good job, man.
711 people are TeqFly employee's :D
712 tech scammerz
Agario Community Well, did you watch the video? They want to trick you so you will allow them to have access tho your computer.
All of it is a smoke screen to just get you to the payment part. Since they see your screen, they write down card number,exp, than rob you blind.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm This sure made MY day!
Barnacules Nerdgasm Mcaffe is better
seems like they are hiring.
"Adult pictures" i lost it when i saw that fucking awesome 😂😂
that was stupid.
stoopid is as stoopid does lit dan
you are the kitties titties
why does it say there are 9 replies when I see 6?
is this like a goddamn invisible comment?
is the government transmogrifying the comments?
AHHH ALIENS THE SUN IS IMPLODING
what did you say?
what the fuck did you say that's invisible!? TELL MEH NOW
"Let me telling you" The broken english always gives me a chuckle XD
Thanks for the info...I am almost a victim of one them but I hung up when the scammer is asking about my credit card details asking me to pay USD 150
26:54 "I'm I'm doing good asshole thanks for asking Jerry" very smooth...
Sam Rockett I just heard that😂💀
Sam Rockett he said as well not as shole
Sam Rockett XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
With windows 10 Microsoft won't need your credit card number, they will all ready have it.
so what ? you realise every place on earth where you used your credit card already has your number ?
it's just a number ...
Axel if people have your card number they can steal money from your bank account
already*
A couple of months ago, someone called my mother from this number: 844-350-3888. They said that they represented Microsoft Corporation. The person told my mother that her Microsoft key is expiring soon and they will be shutting down their services within a few hours. So they make it sound like the were getting ready to shut down her services like it was a local utility she had. The call went no further than that, but my suspicion is that this scammer was attempting to scare those who answer the phone into giving account info and then thereby cleaning them out.
But, as you and I both know:
- Microsoft does not have utility services
- When they mention a Microsoft Key, they are talking about the Activation Key from the Windows Operating System
- When they say services, they are on the Windows OS
- Windows Activation Keys do not expire
- The only one who can turn on and off Windows services is you when you are in the Services control panel in Windows
So they made it personal by scaring my mother half to death! I do not know if the number is still valid but if you want to give them trouble by pointlessly wasting their time, please, be my guest, but please be sure to capture it on video, because I would like to get a good chuckle at their expense, but I also would like for them to get in trouble for this scam!
This second, you know why he has a wallpaper with a cow 😂😂😂😂😂 i'm dying! So sad, that he cant see! Good Video 🤣👌👍👍👍
I got the exact same phone call. When I told her that she called from India. She got caught of guard.
Well, to be honest, a lot of MS official worldwide support is in India.
We chatted with them about a certain enterprise licencing deal that was vague on our regional MS webpage, and got thrown first from India, to the US, to other place in India with 4 people from different support divisions trying to decipher what is the deal with the MS licences in our country (Serbia), ending with turning us to our local market inspection information center because they couldn't figure it out.
well to be fair, code red was a real virus. dude is a total scam tho
Yeah, and according to this guy every single Windows computer has it :D
And the best part is, its 16 years old.
Of course. Windows is a widely spread virus.
ive destroyed the Trojan Virus twice
MineBlock :D hence was
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Had some of my own fun with them a few years back. They finally stopped calling.
As a network engineer who loves this passive aggressive attack on the scammers, I myself, would have lost my composure at 15:00 when he said IP are "randomly generated numbers..." I appreciate the video.
This is the art of Scam Baiting. It's where you make a scammer think you're dumb and falling for it so they keep giving you more and more information. If I had made them nervous through the first 10 - 15 minutes of being obnoxious and testing me I never would have been taken to their TeqFly.com site or knew how they took control of the computer so I could report all that information to the other parties involved. Any time you suspect a scam don't end it, hang on as long as you can if you have the time and collect as much information as possible. The reason the guy didn't tell me he was from TeqFly.com immediately but instead said he was from Microsoft is because if I didn't follow along and he didn't feel I was really falling for it there would have been no trail back to him. So everyone, remember this because the more times this happens to the scammers the more they have to re-create their webpages, change their tactics, etc and that costs them money and time.
My Grandma also got taken advantage of so this felt really good.
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Both of my parents fell for it, I'm pretty sure they didn't get any money though.
Same here. You think that number is offline yet? I want to tell them i holding 7 cows hostage and demand some tech support.
Oh and major kudos for posting this
You should talk about this on tech talk next week with jay.

Bro, I think you made more money through ads in the video than the scam guy. Love it, man. Screw them fake tech support.
I love that background 😂
Oh my great work
@@crazycajunj1703 😂😂😂
That wallpaper. 🤣🤣
Doing the Lord's work. Thanks OP. Subbed.
Dude you should have demolished his computer with viruses
SyntheticNation Agreed
True
I once got a call from someone saying "my Windows had a virus", I told him my windows have been cleaned yesterday and he started explaining me what a computer OS was...
Later I told him I was using Arch Linux and he gave up. Now I regret I didn't set up something like a Gentoo or a Slackware VM with a really weird desktop environment for him to have fun.
Their remote support probably only works in windows.
This video is going to become a classic, you did this so calmly / hook line sinker, caught the perfect fish, no fighting to it he just swam the way you lead him, GREAT WAIST OF ANOTHER SCAMMERS TIME. Keep up the good work bro you rock.
That screen saver is HILARIOUS! I wished you rooted his system and displayed it back thru another feed that he couldn't see.
A few months back Peter Parker from Microsoft Tech support called us. We kept asking him spider man related questions. He had no clue, but the wife was rolling. When I told him Doctor Octopus might of used my computer and he is not a very nice person.
I should do this next time...
You should have told him you suspected the computer had a Venom virus. ;)
lmao
My russian friend didn't solve it like this. He just overloaded the scammers system with memz lol
Bacon&Beef reasons why russians are the best
*insert russian anthem*
Russian and Soviet Union anthems are the same (almost)
does memz jump form a network to another? i saw a video of a scammer getting into a vm wich had memz. it ran on the vm, but i didnt understand if it get to the scammers network. the lad started cursing and yelling nonsense so it might seem they got it too, but im getting different answers about memz behavior. care to clarify to me?
Cheeki breeki komrad.
This was incredible! They still call people around. They called me yesterday, i wish i could do the same thing as you with the virtual computer
Really love reading those sarcastic commentaries on the video . Lol. 🤣
Should've Opened the fake Detail files and minimize it and said ill brb I have to pay for pizza or something and see if he would open back the fake detail files
you are a god in my book. I cried with happiness.I am very stupid with any kind of tech and these guys tried to get me. I've never been so happy to be poor and not have a cc or bank acct. they ruined my computer!!!! I love you man and hope only good things for you. I always say do good get good. do bad get bad .after seeing your video I feel justice has been served thank you.
Ur stupid
Give me ur adress i will send u a pc
why do that for a stranger?
yes; your point?
Awesome video Jerry! My friend i had a blast laughing so much that my belly hurt:)))))) Damn i know you for year and i missed this one:))))))))
WTG!! Loved your video and the follow up results shutting them down. I also love when folks sys key and place on wannacry on the scammers' machines after stealing their desktops. LOL!
I once got a pop up it said your computer has been hacked! I'm On A IPHONE
You were watching porn, weren't you?
LazyElectron LMAO
LazyElectron how do you know
i heard u had a wirus 😃
Yeah, but I mean ... it's an iPhone. You can expect that from Apple products.
I'm proud of my 65 y.o. father who received a call from these scammers. He told them to call again in few hours and called me to ask about the whole thing.
Best video on TH-cam. I love how much fun you’re having ahahaha
LoL 😂..Holy crap! Fascinating! I must share this on Facebook!
Of course this guy speaks better English than when I call Time Warner after 5PM
lol xD
Apparently he might be scamming out of NYC, so it makes sense I guess.
I wish all criminals would be this awkwardly polite
"SIR GET DOWN, SIR PUT THE WEAPON ON THE GROUND! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!"
"ohhhahhh okay... GOOOooood to know..."
This is super fantastic. I'm now subscribed. I want more of these haha.
this guy is amazing , so was the scammer, loved dude, thanks, you made my morning, i wish i knew what you know
I had someone call me with this scam a few years ago, and when I called him out on it, he stated emphatically, "Ma'am, there's no one else who's going to save your computer!" Then he hung up.
wow you must feel cool
congrats
Just let them run through the process then at the end when they think they won. Inform them that you use Linux
belgianstuff when I troll scammers they say they fucked my mom and my sister
Logan is the guy that actually had the virus and Microsoft wasnt there to save him so hes easily butthurt when he sees other peoples success with their scam dodges dont be like logan internet, and save one person from a tech scam a day be Barnacules and not a Logan mcallister
I used to waste their time, then i got tired of that and started blasting a whistle into the mouthpiece. They dont seem to call anymore :'(
My mom is 83
She got this call
We did Not know ,then , what we know now.
Keep making these videos and thanx.
Knowledge is power y'all.
Wow, your mom's 83 and she can use a computer, that's cool.
For those of us who are fortunate enough these scammers are an inconvenience. For our most vulnerable in society the scum can be the final thing that breaks them. Yes we’re talking about People’s lives. Thank you so much for being a voice for the voiceless. Thank you 🙏
This was hilarious I've been in stitches this whole video
I heard my mom in her and my dad's home office sounding all concerned one night. I listened for a second and realized that they were talking about her computer (which, to be honest, does have a lot of problems... it's still running on Vista for one). I get up and go in there and she's on hold at this point, so I ask who it is. She tells me they're from Microsoft Support. I tell her that under no circumstances is she to give them _any_ information or access to her computer and tell her it's a scam. So then she starts having fun with them. I mean, the guy was really "sweet" and what not, because he did put up with a lot of my mom's more annoying personality quirks. The call went on for over an hour. I got 18 minutes of video and it's my favorite 18 minutes of video in the world.
Payton Kluck She is iying bro
So you just told her it was a scam immediately after her saying it was from Microsoft support?
You know it could have actually been from Microsoft support…?
Asume Microsoft will never call you about your computer,, you have to call them.

Video or you are lying.

^^^^
GUYS PLEASE DON'T LISTEN TO HIM. HE IS CLEARLY A TROLL AND YOU WILL JUST START A FLAME WAR IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU BOTHER TO REPLY BACK.
Looks like TeqFly.com is still calling people and scamming them even with the website down. Here is the new # people are reporting. 1-877-764-5405 #HaveFun #TweetMeTheRecordings
Barnacules Nerdgasm i'm going to put a virtual machine, and call them and then play around with them like you did
Barnacules Nerdgasm And the pepole won't respond. It's been 3 times and no response
May hell (And my very own virus software) rain upon them! XD
Are they still calling people?
These guys aren't smart enough to put real viruses on your pc, all they do is syskey, and then hold you ransom for the password, or simply delete random files
Takes you to Wikipedia to educate you about a Microsoft product.... not the actual Microsoft website. Love it!
This scammer really can talk without actually saying anything!!
"i'm Cortana, Ask me anything" absolutely made my day
I got the same call aswell. I told them that i've already solved my problem by installing linux.
Kolbjørn Stjern what a legend
i told some scammers to git there hand reach around and fist there selfs
LMAO! oml.. you sir a legend hehe xd
Did they call you back pretending to be Linux support after that ?
Clark Ragay he's legend27
the very best were the personal information, top secret, adult and tax return folders lmao
I particularly like the arrangement of the desktop icons. A fish for an attempted fishing attack? That's just brilliant! ;-)
These guys are a good reason to have an aircompressor atached to an airhorn next to the phone
TheCludo gona put 1 next to my pc. great idea lol
Ricardo Carvalho
Haha next time on Jerry rigged XD
*****
haha yeah right before they send the police to your adress
Please make this into a series
That would be good!
I don't normally advertise a channel on someone else's channel, but check out
"ScammerRevolts" Not as fun as Jerry, but it is someone doing this exact thing:)
Agreed
Louiss Tech does the same thing
+Larikon Jeah. Do it together with Louis Tech :D
I know its been a long time, but you are a true legend. Really enjoying your videos
Got me at Charlie ,lols i get these calls every other day-Edith and Brian are funny.
I know he's not Microsoft. He would have done a Bing search. LOL
I have to say for how hard the scammer worked his story and time, he might as well apply for actual IT customer support jobs.
Scamming is easier, just follow the same steps. TS needs intelligence.
he actually pulls up the file w/ bank accounts-hilarious!
That laugh though... i NEED that as an audio file!!!!!!!!!
