Introduction to the Scam Family

The family consists of the father, who is the mastermind behind the operation, his son, whom he is teaching to scam, and other family friends or relatives who assist in the scams. They run a fake Microsoft pop-up scam, which involves scaring victims into thinking their computers have been hacked and instructing them to call a fake Microsoft or Windows support number.
The Scam Technique
The scammers, led by the father who introduces himself as Mr. Sam Wilson, instruct victims to type personal information into the command prompt. They then manipulate a network scan to make it appear as though the victim's network has been compromised by hackers. The father claims to be a Microsoft employee of 19 years and informs the victim that illegal material has been downloaded on their network, threatening them with fines and jail time.
Son's Scamming Skills and Bank Account Access
The father often sends his son to another room to complete the scam. The next crucial step involves logging into the victim's bank account online to drain their money through wire transfers or checks. The video then includes a promotion for Incog, a service that removes personal information from data broker sites to protect privacy.
Victim's Bank Account and Law Enforcement Intervention
Once the victim complies, the scammers instruct them to log into their bank account online, taking pictures of the account to assess the balance and transaction history. They then decide on the best method to steal the money, usually through checks or wire transfers, and take a picture as proof of completion. The video highlights instances where law enforcement contacts were able to help some of the victims, preventing them from losing money.
Scammer's Incompetence and Frustration
