Caller: Scammer claiming to be NBN Scammers called with the usual line of someone hacking my broadband. they trued several methods to access my computer so I played along.
They kept wanting me to search for "my 1p country" The result they wanted only works with google.com. However I use duckduckgo and got a completely different set of results.
Then they wanted me to download anydesk on my phone (as I told them I use an Amiga computer (not a windows or Mac and run the timberwolf browser). FYI, the Amiga computer exists you can actually buy an Amiga X5000, but I use a Mac.
I told them I could not download the anydesk app as my Android OS is too old (needs OS 5+). They asked if I used my computer for social media, banking or shopping. I said no. Eventually they just gave up as a lost cause as they could not hack me and thought I had nothing much to give them even if they were successful.
