Conversation With a Tech Support Scammer

Was Steve/Jeffrey leading me towards a fraudulent transaction? I observed no exploits and no malware. The organization (Help Desk National?) that he represented might claim that they were providing a valuable service by educating people for free and repairing their PCs in exchange for a service free. And yet, most aspects of this scheme are questionable at best and involve misleading statements and half-truths.

Super interesting read.
