Hilarious "Windows support" scammer calls Linux user and loses his temper!

"Fast forward to 17 minutes if you don't have as much patience as I do!

"One day, out of the blue, I received a phone call from someone I immediately identified as a scammer. You know, the kind of people who try their best to remote into your computer and do evil things. The scammer knew my name, so they had obviously searched for victims using publicly available information. My phone was connected to my own asterisk (phone server), and I knew I had set up a command to record calls. However, I wasn't able to recall the combination from my memory. So while chatting with this very nice (haha) Windows professional, I was frantically trying to ssh into my server to find the key combination.

"Bear in mind that this conversation was totally unexpected on my part, and thus unscripted. What you hear is the unedited conversation between a couple of Indian scammers and me, a Linux user. At the time I hadn't used a Windows computers in many years, so I didn't know what to expect in terms of dialog boxes and such.

"Unfortunately I was unable to recall the right keypad combination to start the recording, so what you hear is the second half of the conversation. I must admit the first scammer was extremely patient with me as I was trying to do things as slowly as possible. Actually there must have been three scammers, but I didn't notice the change as I had the phone lying on the table while I was logging into my asterisk server to check the key combination to start the recorder. What you hear is the second scammer, then the third scammer towards the end of the recording."
