Poisoning Google's search results
Рет қаралды 1,460,002
5 жыл бұрынI came across some fake Norton support courtesy of the first result on a google search. So who exactly are these fakers and what happens if you call asking for support?
These are some of the URLs and phone numbers I observed:

Hi Jim, the search result you clicked is actually an ORGANIC one; not an ad... Which is even spookier because this means that the website is actually ranked very well on an ongoing basis without any ad spend to keep it there. Being in the SEO industry, I can tell you that the search result itself shows quite a bit of intelligence on the scammer's part because of the way their site is listed with an image, phone number, and box around it.

Who tf uses Bing. Yahoo or Ask I know Ask is bad AF when it comes to spam ads (I last went on Ask back in like 2013 and I remember it being littered with ads at least 3-4 times as much as google back then but now I use ad/popup blockers to stop spams and ads appearing though this is not 100% perfect as many ads now disguise themselves as part of the website to not get blocked and manually blocking the ads do not work either) but 95% of victims for these scams are either the elderly or the less tech savvy people such as middle aged people or those people who were brought up in a really poor place and moved out to a western country as many of them too will not know much about this and so on etc... AND most users of "alternate" search engines are not the average non tech person especially those who fit in to the category of being easily fooled by online scams as google has the monopoly on the search engine market and started in that sector they are so big that "to google" or "googling" were made official words in the English language as almost everyone uses google for any online searching

Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for always breaking down these computer scams! I have always been the type of person who never jumps the gun to start clicking on unknown websites, but I have an elderly father who uses the computer a lot without thoroughly checking what he's clicking. Netheless to say, I got a scared call today from him that someone hacked onto his computer while he tried going on Facebook and that there was a phone number he should call to regain control to his computer. Loud sirens started playing from his computer, and there was a voice coming from it saying do not turn off your computer or your documents will be deleted. There was no exit botton at the top. I noticed the website had just gone on full-screen mode for some reason. So I remembered your videos, exited full screen, and closed the website. I ran my antivirus just in case, but everything looked good. He had googled the term "face" and clicked on the first link that popped up on his Google search. I am sending him this video to teach him to be more vigilant about his Google searches, and to never call the service number on the screen without consulting with me first.

It is interesting how you get NEGATIVE action when you report to the legit companies, Google especially. This negative action only does one thing. It convinces others not to bother reporting to Google or anyone else and save yourself the time and effort. WAKE UP INTERNET!

I have a friend who's been watching my videos for a long time, but when he got an Amazon Echo and needed support, he did a search and found a fake number. He gave the scammers remote access, but pulled the plug when he started to realize they were being pushy. They didn't do anything to his computer, but I've been worried that maybe they found info to steal his identity. :( This is great info! Thank you!

Cannot thank you enough even though this is not a new video. Called a number yesterday to finish setting up my computer, talked with someone but they didn't know what I expected them to know about the system. Told them I would call back next week, trusting my gut. I am glad I did. I went to the computer information and there was a difference in the number, close as they were. I called the number and got what I expected this time. Watching your video was the reason I looked for the real number in my paperwork. Thank you for your work.

It's weird because the dude probably translated it word to word from his first language Hindi "Mein tumhe/aapko samjhata hu" It means "I'll explain it to you" but the word to word traslation is: "Mein = I, Tumhe/aapko= you, samjhata = masculine form of 'explain/to make them understand', hu = will" Rearrange that to fit into english grammar and you will get "I will explain you" or the less incorrect version "I will make you understand". #MultilingualProblems

Out of curiosity, and this might sounds silly! When you meet these remote access scammers, can't you put some sort of .exe on your desktop labelled passwords or bank details or something that pops up a message like "Remote access detected. word file must be transferred to host computer to view" or something along those lines that persuades the scammer to transfer it to their own computer and run it? The file would do it's thing even when first opened with the message but when transferred, they would get the same "message" but in the background it would allow remote access to theirs? There's probably other easier ways to get the scammer to take an .exe file but they can't resist sensitive info
