Welcome to my school.
Stevie's Scam School.
Yeah, great.
Hello. My name is Stevie, the reformed scam artist,
and I'm here to teach you how to avoid being scammed.
On with today's lesson.
This one is titled - the ‘computer repair scam’. Just have a listen to how this one works.
When I used to scam, I’d phone up a small business, and put on this real professional sounding voice
...and when they would answer, I would say...
(clears his throat and alters his voice to sound real professional)
“Hi, I’m calling from your computer repair specialist group.
Your computer has been hacked into.” (clears his throat again).
I would tell them that the problem can be easily fixed and direct them to a website to enter their details.
Little did they know, I would then be able to log on to their computer remotely!
BANG I’m in!
From there I could access all sorts of things:
Private bank details, Email passwords, Saucy pics...whatever I could find.
Sometimes I’d get the business to pay over money for our ‘repair service’ in advance.
I was scamming up to me eyeballs! Not proud of it, and now I want to help you.
Never give a cold caller your details online however professional they may sound.
If you have, get your computer checked over by a reputable trader as soon as possible.
Remember, scams are a lot like an old dog.
They don’t smell quite right.. (chuckles)
Stevie’s Scam School. Yeah! Nice!
