1/ Meet Gaurav Trivedi, an Indian scammer who impersonates Microsoft support and then rips off innocent vulnerable people.
He tried to scam me......but instead of paying him money, I hacked into his laptop and turned on his live webcam feed.

2/ Gaurav runs a classic Microsoft tech support scam out of his apartment complex in Raebareli, India.
It starts with a fake popup that locks your screen, blares a loud warning sound, and tells you to call “Microsoft” immediately or risk losing all your data.

3/ The scammer’s main goal?
To trick you into giving them remote access to your computer using tools like AnyDesk or TeamViewer.
But when Gaurav tried it on me… I gave him access to my virtual machine and used it to hack into his system instead.

This was his live reaction when I called him out in real time.
