“I am calling you from Windows”: A tech support scammer 
What is most bizarre to me is that someone could actually do this and do it more than once.<p>Why wouldn't people feel bad about scamming someone like this? You have to talk to someone, get them on your side, and then scam them?<p>I could maybe imagine myself in an alternate universe doing something like this, perhaps enjoying a sort of "heist" feeling like when you're playing poker and no one's aware that you're totally prepared to take the table. But if I succeeded (at the scamming call) I'm sure I would feel devastated that I just did that to someone.<p>Maybe I'm just supremely naive, but it seems hard for me to imagine anyone I've ever met in my life scamming someone like this. It seems so completely incredible that it could ever happen on such a large scale.<p>--------------<p>Is there something in a culture (besides wealth discrepancy per se) that makes this sort of thing more OK?
