Think It Can't Happen To You, You're Wrong - Tech Support Scam's Near Disaster

I want to highlight a YouTuber you may or may not know about, Jim Browning. He has a very successful channel with 3.4 million subscribers where he reverse hacks some of these tech support scam call centers that bilk money out of vulnerable people.

In July, Jim ended up getting scammed into deleting his channel. This is not an unsophisticated individual. This is someone who is constantly on the lookout for scams, and is acutely aware of the way that they work. But, everyone can get complacent, and some scams are better crafted than others.In this case, the attacker utilized Google’s own domain to fool Jim.
