To a coder they indicate normal functions but since most of the “older dudes” believe them when they say “see all these bugs?.it is a problem and they compromise your computer.” The Scammer misrepresents the info to ramp up the fear. They often have red and yellow warnings messages. FALSE DIAGNOSIS : An alleged certified computer tech calls and instructs you to open up the event log, a diagnostic tool that professionals use to track computer activity.Wire transfers, Money Gram or Western Union, are mostly untraceable and have limited protections, so never use these to pay a stranger. The peer to peer apps like Venmo, Zelle and Cash App allow the transfer of funds. Of course cash still favorite if they can get the V to send cash in an envelope, because not traceable. Gift cards are payment of choice and bitcoin is now catching up. The Scammer rarely accepts credit cards or checks. The scammer may ask you to recontact TO them, in India, so the scam will work. Some company’s have banned these program if the computers initiates the call from India. They may ask to log into your computer using a remote access software program called Team Viewer…(or AnyDesk or FastSupport) and when the scammer says to hit the “switch sides” function, the caller is then in charge…and can lock you from your own computer.
They will say whatever is necessary to befriend you and scare you into paying for unnecessary repairs and other deceptions.
