Another day, another tech support scam. This time, a UK Freefone
number (08000588296) appeared on a fake virus pop-up. I couldn't resist calling them

I do my usual thing of letting the scammers access a safe playpen (a virtual machine isolated from my real machine) and record their network activity using Wireshark.

The 08000588296 number and the U.S. number +1(844)525-6095 routes to Jaipur in India. Shame that 'Kevin' still insists he's sitting in California :)
