I don’t know, this was back around 2007 so I don’t remember his specific reaction

I had a Microsoft support scammer once… I let him in to my system too…well not really.

I quickly spin up a quick fresh install of slack ware Linux in a virtual machine that didn’t even have x11 never mind wine installed. When it was up I told him a friend uses something called tellynet (aka telnet but I was playing dumb) to help me on the computer.

He telnetted in and could not understand why any of his malware wasn’t working…
