I had a freshly cloned WinXP instance running in Hyper-V when I was called by one of these scammers. I went through the same thing out of interest's sake. I thought they might clue in when Oracle 10g was the only thing in the Start Menu. They didn't. The interesting bit is that I called LogMeIn with my other phone, excused myself for a moment "to answer the door", explained the situation, gave the session ID (whatever it's called) and they got to listen in on a good portion of the whole thing. After I called them on what they were doing, LogMeIn told me there was nothing they can do about it. I suppose if the scammers are LogMeIn customers, LogMeIn is perfectly willing to facilitate this sort of behaviour. That put the nail in the coffin for my ever using LogMeIn.
