Scammer games!

This is the second time I’ve done this, and my ribs are still hurting.

The inbound call went something like this:

Me: Hello?

S: I’m with Microsoft support. Your computer has been hacked, and we need to fix it.

Me: Oh no!

S: YES, sir… (I’m a woman, by the way!) Are you near your computer?

Me: Yes.

S: OK, type in [domain name]

She feigns confusion.

Me: ………..OK, I did. What does it read?

S: Oh, you mean I have to have it turned on? Oh dear… OK, let me try to turn it on… (1–2 minutes pass.)

S: …Are you there?

Me: Yes.

S: OK, what does it show?

Me: What does it show… it shows nothing.

S: Nothing? OK, type it in again. [domain name]

Me: OK, I typed it in.

S: OK, what do you see?

She continues to give him the runaround.

Me: I don’t see anything.

S: You don’t see anything?

Me: Nope.

S: I can’t believe this. Did you type it in correctly?

Me: Yes, I did.

S: And you still don’t see it?

Now for the big reveal…

Me: No! I can’t see anything… I’M BLIND!

Cue the curse words! Bbaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!
