My PC is hacked - eviltoast

I just received a call from an indian microsoft technician. He informed me that my PC is sending a ton of error messages to microsoft. Most likely it has been hacked, and he would help me by remoting in and fixing the problem for me. I just wonder… Is it my PopOs or my Manjaro PC that sends all this info to microsoft?

    You are all over this thread harassing people.

    I’m allowed to engage in a forum where I talk to other people other than just you. You are not my world and I don’t need your approval.

    ‘Harass’ said the person who’s obsessed with me… I think you are personalizing this a lot.

    I don’t care about your opinion.

    Then why are you here talking to me about my opinion ?

    Don’t talk about crap you don’t understand.

    You aren’t my boss in life. But this is easily fixed with the block button so this is a choice that you made. I didn’t force it on you to either read it or not.

    Watch the myriad of YouTube channels that cover the scam industry in India. Some people have their family and lives literally threaten with death to pay debts working for scam call centers by literal gangsters.

    welcome to poverty. This is what happens to people who can’t afford care too. Life is not fair to impoverished but that is NOT nor is it EVER an excuse to impose that on someone else.

    That is sad.

    Scamming someone else is not sad. It’s infuriating and it’s gross when you give it such an excuse as empathy to con or hurt others. They should own they harmed someone.

    I’m not putting my hands in the fire for anyone.

    Yet here you are.

    But that is also the product of an exploitative capitalist mindset.

    And here you are infighting instead of attacking the mindset.

    None of the people actually making the phonecalls are “escaping poverty”.

    Also you: “* Some people have their family and lives literally threaten with death to pay debts working for scam call centers by literal gangsters. *”

    It’s the owners of the computers and offices and bank accounts that accrue the scam money who are getting rich. And those people rarely set foot in the actual call centers.

    Yeah and if the person on the phone is no longer in debt and the person on the other side of the line is, they benefited. They are still a villain.
