Spammer just called me saying my windows computer was hacked and that I needed his assistance, I agreed and let him download free malware remover tool and other random shit, apparently the terminal commands were not working so he asked what version of Windows I was on, I said XP, and he continued and gave up on the terminal. tried to ruin whatever malware he put on the thing, finally he went to find what version I was running, and found out I was on Linux.

    good thing we don't have scam calls in Germany anymore (afaik), since the "Bundesnetzagentur" doesn't joke around with this stuff. Same goes for playing with radio equipment (e.g. jamming, operating on non-free frequencies, too high WiFi amplification).

    @OneOfSimpleMind Federal Network Agency. Regulating communication, amongst other things. If you have an issue with your provider you can complain to them. Illegal advertisement calls can be fined up to 300.000€, scam/fraud is worse of course. But they will also come after you if you interfere with normal operation or operate illegally.
