so recently we have been getting a lot of calls from "your windows service center" saying that "viruses are downloading themselves onto my hard drive." They are fighting them off, but they need me to download a program to block them or "all of my personal banking informations could be stolen by the malicious viruses on my hard drive."
Obviously they want me to download a rat of some sort, but this time I decided to play with them a bit first.
Me: I need to go turn on my computer, 1 sec.
Them: Ok this is very important, hurry.
Me10 min later) My computer won't turn on.
Them: This is very bad, the virus may have infected your power supply configuration.(dafuq?)
Me: So how can I turn it on?
Them: Unplug your computer and wait for a bit then plug it back in.
Me: Ok.
Me: (15 min later) Ok so it is on now.
Them: ok, so go to your local disk, ok? now go to windows, now, inf, then esent folder.
Them: now there is a file called esentprf.hxx, this is the malicious file.
Me: I can't find it.
Them: are you in your local disk?
Me: yes
Them: are you in your windows folder?
Me: no. I can't find it.
Them: What are your folders called that you see?
Me:bin, boot, cdrom, dev, etc, home, lib, media, root, usr, and other stuff, but no windows.
Them: ok the virus has hidden itself, you need to download the patch to block the virus.
Me: ok:
*Downloads nothing*
Me: It won't work, Do i need windows? my computer is linux
*They hang up*
well, that was a good use of 30 minutes lol



10 min later) My computer won't turn on.
