Yes they work by assuming people on the other end do not realise that
connections work both ways, quite obviously. I guess in the main they are dealing with users, not experts in IT, Not everyone who is an expert would set up a sandboxed virtual machine and spend a lot of time spooking the scammers though would they. In a way its like the old medicine sellers who sold cures that never did anything, is it? Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Bill It's a pity the guy didn't tell us how to see someone else's screen without their permission like he can. Then we could all contribute to his work. He has shown a technique for scammers using Teamviewer, where he is able to take advantage of the fact that TV have added a popup warning to any session where the host is in India. That has lead to many scammers initiating the connection in reverse (i.e. giving control of their computers to the mark), and then coaching the mark through switching the direction of control. In some videos he has been a little "slow on the uptake" following their instructions while using the opportunity to acquire lots of useful stuff from the scammers computers and networks. However I would not be surprised if some of the remote control tool vendors have also furnished him with special versions for anti fraud use. In any case it seems unlikely he is going to include anything in the videos that might give the crooks any clues. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
