Was watching a few tech support scam videos, and found this one which is quite interesting as the author (ubuntututorials) has rigged the machine before calling.... Enjoy! :D
Messing with Tech Support Scammers Episode 2: Jurassic Mistake! (Scambaiting)
Dr Alan Grant encounters a few issues while using his system...

The Task Manager has been disabled, and Event Viewer has a little surprise. Dr Grant also insists on having a 14 month or 17 month support plan.

After this call, the company was reported to LogMeIn Rescue who have taken action to block future use of their service by this company. At the very least, this will cost them at least $130, and possibly as much as $1,200, to re-register, under new information.
