Jessica Wilson vs Alex Benjamin – Microsoft

AnyDesk was used.

 

She was downloading a movie and now the computer says there is spyware or malware attached to the computer.

 

She had visions of what her laptop looked like.

 

He insisted on making her read out all the IP addresses she found and didn’t understand how her toaster would be connected to her network but told her to avoid connecting the toaster to the phone.

 

JW: “Should I just not use it? Or should I unplug it?”

Alex: “Yes.”

 

Rinoa: “I think I’m talking to a humanoid turtle.”

 

Eventually, Alex found the “TINBA” Trojan on her computer.

 

He checked for her camera and then typed some rude things. She disconnected the computers.

 

She said that she would bring her computer to a local repair place.

CR? vs Peter & John Walter (Waters) – GeekSquad

Refund Amount: $379; rounded to $380

Scam Amount: $38,000

 

He got the computers connected and went through his script.

 

We learned that hotels are born without a 13^th floor.

 

We were transferred to John.

 

John wanted to “do it in a personal way,” but she didn’t want to meet him in person.

 

John had difficulty typing out “Bank of America.” She was confused as to why the decimal point was missing.

 

CR: “By golly, I got $38,000. We have made a great mistake here.”

 

He told her to tell the bank that the manager was going to have a wedding. She took notes on everything.

 

All of chat decided to crash the wedding!

 

The bank told her that the bank info they gave was a flagged account for being fraudulent. He told her to go back in and tell them to do the wire anyway. She was concerned with rushing to send the money when it might be lost altogether. He said he would get another account for her. He told her to “hold down.”

 

He sent her info for a Wells Fargo account.

John: “Go inside and get this thing done.”

 

She used her notes to explain everything to the bank. The bank said that the money wasn’t in her account. She didn’t send the wire. He said, “Then go duck yourself,” bailed, and booped.

James & Solomon – McAfee

Refund Amount: $588.88

 

James completed the refund process and gave her the refund number.

 

We were transferred to Solomon. He didn’t care about the refund number. He asked her to let him do his work when she asked if he had seen the Mario movie.

 

He spent a lot of time looking at the computer and keeping us on hold. When he came back on the phone, he said that her voice modulator wasn’t working properly. He bailed and booped. It looked like he found an email she had created and realized that it wasn’t the real email.

CR vs Mike Wilson – Microsoft & Jax Teller (Captain Jack Teller) – Chase Bank

UltraViewer was used.

 

She was downloading movies and got an alert about a virus.

 

He found evidence that her computer has been hacked.

 

The password in case he needs to call back shall be 420w33dm4st3r69.

 

She thanked him for completing the scan. She was very successful at keeping him off his script for a while. She thought he had beat the hackers in battle, scanning them away.

 

He asked if she was a cr*ckhead. She asked him to replace the unwanted word that describes the illegal activities often used in these scams. One phrase would be replaced with “jellybelly” and the other would be “duck farts” and “cotton candy” will be the said instead of what is sometimes used to download.

 

We were transferred to Jax Teller from “Chase Bank.”

 

CR: “There is a cotton candy virus downloading jellybellies from the duck farts.”

 

She said that she had previously talked to someone named “Penn,” who could have made this problem disappear right in front of her eyes.

 

Jax was smarter than the average scammer and figured out how to use the codewords correctly.

 

He said that he would have his team look into things more and would send an email with “all the informations.”

 

CR: “I’ll be in contact. Have your people call my people.”
