I'm wondering if Richard actually knows he's working for a scam company.

It's very possible he just follows a chart or guide given by his superiors, and assumes that it's the truth.

If you work under that theory, from Richards point of view, he's just trying to help people. I don't think he realizes he's really doing the opposite.

Might be a possibility, he didn't go through the personal files and kept trying to do the steps. At the end wanted an explanation on how it was a scam so it seems he doesn't know what he was doing (unless he was lying).

No no no, you don't understand LOL

The entire time he was lying about the computer in general, claiming certain things meant this or that.

It's obvious he was leading the customer on, there is no way he was being legitimate.. he was probably just frustrated he got caught.

That was a good watch tho thanks for posting that, never saw one happen in real time.

Edit://

For those interested, go to 19 minutes to skip the dude getting the phone number (and imo deciding whether or not to target the individual), and go to ~1hr to see where the comantra guy attempts to get the it dude to hand over his credit card details.. where the it dude then confronts the comantra guy.

Every time you download Garry's Mod illegally, Garry makes a bug.

When people ask me "Plz" because its shorter than "Please" I feel perfectly justified to answer "No" because its shorter than "Yes".

I like that you pointed that out because I considered it too but... there's no way lol. Based off of what coolz said, and how defensive and aggravated he got. If he legitimately, as far as he knew, was helping out people with computers problems and that's that, then he would be patient with the customer and try to explain stuff calmly, not be getting so ticked off and aggressive.

Well that's the thing, he probably didn't know much about computers himself. If you notice, a lot of stuff he was saying sounded like it was rehearsed or from a script. Like I said before, his superiors probably just gave him a little guide on "This means that" or "when this happens, explain this". He never directly lied about something he personally did or had done. All the lies came from stuff that he could have been told to say, if he was following some sort of guide or chart.

Anyone would get frustrated once people would start accusing you of being a scamming asshole, when from your perspective, you're just trying to help.

I'm not saying the COMPANY is innocent but Richard could just be a guy trying to do his job.

Well notice, he got ticked off and aggressive after he started being accused of being a scammer.

He probably got a lot of shit becuase of the companys bad rep, and just couldn't take it anymore.

This one is almost as good

"Tech Support" scammer held on line for 75 minutes


The end is the best. The scammer tries to get the other to shut down his comp (like "PRESS ALT - F4 FOR GOD MOD" on CSS

Nah I still disagree, the whole way the guy approached it, obviously leading him on, avoiding questions, it was 100% shady man.

The chance that what you are saying is true.. that he knew absolutely nothing and never suspected a thing is improbable.

Can't believe I watched all of this, but I've gotten a few calls like these about an older system. Let's just say I give most telemarketers and all a lot of shit. Though it would be rather nice to string them along like this.
