Rinoa Poison: Scambaiter

Jessica Wilson vs Walter & Mike Rose & Mark Williams – “Support Service” calling about a “Windows Defender Security Center” that said “trojan detected”

 

Jessica taught us that the dingy-de-bops bring you Wifi security!

 

Ultraviewer was used.

We were transferred to Mike Rose at the “Entire Hacking Department at Microsoft”

Mike ran a Netstat scan to demonstrate totally made-up things.

Jessica couldn’t use her keyboard and he said that was because of her IP address and that there were 87 people connected to her computer.

 

He explained that the “United States of the Government” assigns you an IP address once for you to use for your whole life. Don’t worry, the “United Europe of Countries” has different ones.

 

He was super sus, tried to access her camera, and looked for pictures. People in the background were saying that he was being played with.

 

We were transferred to Mark Williams (the senior), who asked for an “Apple Card” / “Apple Security Card,” then transferred us back to Mike Rose.

 

He wanted Jessica to drive to WalMart to buy a $500 “Apple Security Card.” Mike said that the $500 would be refunded when she gives him the “reference number” on the giftcard receipt.

 

Jessica played dumb and kept questioning the Apple gift card by saying she doesn’t have a Macbook. Jessica wanted to talk to Mike’s supervisor to ask him a question. Mike said that he wasn’t available.

 

Jessica asked Mike if she was trying to steal his money. Mike booped.

Jessica Wilson vs Andrew Scott (Scamdew Scott) & Albert Wilson & Jason – Paypal

There was a money request for $467.99, then $366

Anydesk was used.

Chase Bank

Refund Amount $366, then $150, then $466

Transfer Amount $15,000

 

Andrew: “Grab a piece of paper and a pencil, please.”

 

Jessica asked if he did anything fun over the weekend. He said he was “dancing on the floor.”

 

She logged into the bank to check the refund. Jessica kept asking him if he liked the song, “Drop It While It’s Hot” and if he was a master twerker. He repeatedly ignored the questions and continued with the script. He finally said, “yes.” She asked him about his moves, and he said, “I’m working too much,” and “I’m still working on…” When he finally realized she was saying “twerking,” not “working.” He ignored it again and went back to the script.

 

We were transferred to Albert Wilson, financial manager, right after the first scammer didn’t want to talk about twerking.

 

Jessica wrote down the checking account balance and engaged in small talk about music & movies.

                       

MelonBuddy Translation: “Hey, she is a bit odd client.”

 

Jason suddenly took over the call, after Jessica asked what Albert would do if he was Iron Man and Albert said he’d “save the poor man.” Jason went on to describe what a good, almost saintly person Albert is.

 

Small talk turned to “three wishes.” Jessica guessed that Jason’s first wish would be to “Take all the mayonnaise in the world and shove it straight up your ash.” (a beautiful reference to scammer Max Silverhammer) Jason went silent then returned to the script! Jason said he wanted to meet Monica Belucci, an Italian actress. She was in The Matrix.  His 2nd wish would be “a lot of money.” His third wish was a beautiful resort in the West Indies.

 

Back to the script… She logged into bank again to transfer the funds. Then he wanted to talk politics but Jessica declined. He said that she was the first person who didn’t want to talk about it.

 

Jason was very interested in standup comedians and American culture.

 

The PayPal banking portal looked an awful lot like a DOS prompt box. Jason tried to get it to look like Jessica typed in $15,000 but rather ended up with it saying $150.000.

 

Jessica just wanted to return to the Iron Man discussion. He didn’t think that he would want to be a superhero called “Mayonnaise Butt.”

 

Jason: “I think you are obsessed with mayonnaise. Right?”

 

We were transferred to Albert. He didn’t want to continue the conversation about Iron Man.

 

We were transferred back to Jason. Jessica started asking about Jason’s possible connections to Friday, the 13^th instead of looking at her bank account as he wanted her to.

 

When Jessica finally looked at her bank account, she saw the problem. When he tried to use the calculator to tell her about the mistake, she took control and finished the calculation according to her perception of the situation.

 

Jessica: “Go find a desk and hide under it.”

 

We were transferred to Senior Manager, Richard, who was a 30 before this job. Then, we were transferred to Jason again. He has a 6-year-old daughter. In the middle of a conversation about movies, Richard rudely grabbed the phone from James but he gave it back when Jessica demanded that he do so.

 

We were transferred back to Richard when we got to the bank. We went into the bank and withdrew $14,500 cash. Jason was on the phone when we got back into the car.

 

Richard was suddenly on the phone again, just when Jessica & Jason were discussing movies. Jessica objected! Jason was back on the phone for a while. Then, she requested Richard again.

 

We went to Walmart to buy a box, a book, bubble wrap, tin foil, and duct tape. After everything was packaged, we went to the UPS store to ship it out but we ended up at the post office. The shipping address they sent us belongs to a CVS store, which is weird.

 

Jessica said that her phone was dying, and she would call him back when she got home. She booped in his face as he was trying to explain very important instructions. Her phone battery must have died.

 

MelonBuddy Translations Throughout the Call:

I am losing my cool on her. If she goes on more, I will erupt on her.

She is irritating, but now she is going to the bank.

It took a lot time on one customer.

Tell her to mind her business. Why she wants to talk?

She is such a birch… treats us like trash.

Please tell her to follow instructions.

Birch doesn’t want to listen to me.

Hey, she is so hard.

Be stable, we are on critical part.

Yes, she has just given access.

But here shows -1000 usd.

Maybe they are into some another person.
