Yes, they also do ones where they say they are from Microsoft and even make viruses that make scary red pop-ups with their call center numbers. Some of them even remote into boomer’s PCs with like AnyDesk or GoToPC and they like show them the Task Manager and find like a svchost instance and say “ SEE THIS IS BAD, WE MUST REMOVE THE VIRUS! You can pay now, use Google Gift Cards”

There are even some that make it look like they accidentally transferred money into the person’s account (they get marks to open their bank portal and they literally edit source in front of them sometimes) and then they say”oops! Oh no, I messed up! My boss is gonna be so mad! My family, they will go hungry! Oh please, you must help me get this money back! Do it with gift cards so they won’t catch on!”
