Watch as a scammer gets on chat with a malwarebytes employee and tries to trick him into paying $200. Numerous mistakes gets apparent as the scammer uses "protection.com" to try to trick him into buying their protection.
(P.S. I know this is mac but since it is not based on the OS but more on the scammer calling this can happen on any system)
The morale of this:
1) When allowing customer service to take control of your system, be on the ware of suspicious things like what is in the video (New Delhi-based scammers saying they were in New Jersey- yes the new part is the same...)
2) Don't let anybody to take control unless it is valid customer service and see #1
3) Report all phishing sites to malwarebytes and other resources and post it on Malware bytes Malware Hub so other users know.
