This is one of many videos by a YouTuber posting videos of him calling up bogus Tech support companies, that come up when you do a Google search for Tech support of a printer company, computer company, etc.

Be sure to check out this guy's other videos.  They are a real eye opener and quite scary, especially for all the senior citizens that are being scammed.

There seem to be a lot more scammer baiters on YouTube. Or maybe the algorithm feels more of them to me. I love it when they waste a scammer's time even if they don't erase their computers. But that's the icing on the cake! I've seen ones where the scam baiter turns the table on the scammer by getting them to give him their money. And then they donate it to a charity.

It's horrible what these guys do, especially the romance scams. I know somebody who sent money to a guy online because she thought he cared for her. They don't do it all at once; they seduce them and then the money ask hits. I pointed out he was lying to her when she said he was out on a ship in the mid-Atlantic but still somehow talking to her on his cell phone. He claimed he was on his way to see her.
