What exactly is a phone room and how will it help stop ransomware?
- gergo_v 12y agoA phone room or boiler room operation will not stop ransomware - in fact quite often it's another sort of scam in itself. Here's a short article explaining the process and the Verge covered the subject in length: http://ipensatori.com/2014/05/27/tech-support-scams-what-lies-beneath/ http://ipensatori.com/2014/05/27/tech-support-scams-what-lie... http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/10/2984893/scamworld-get-rich-quick-schemes-mutate-into-an-online-monster http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/10/2984893/scamworld-get-rich...
- BorisMelnik 12y agothank you, exactly. lots of that going on here. 3 years ago it was timeshare sales then timeshare recovery i.e. "helping victims get their money back from the scam, which in and of itself was a scam."
