Tech support scammer talks to a bot

Apple Support Impersonator talks to a bot named Salty Sally

You are probably familiar with the tech support scam. You get a call from someone (usually from a call center in India) pretending to be from Apple or Microsoft. They tell you they have noticed a problem with your computer and ask you to open a web site that gives them remote access to your computer. Once they do that, they get you to log into your bank account so they can rob you blind.

Here’s one such scammer who thinks he’s talking to a woman, but he’s really talking to a bot programmed to act like a harried mother. The scammer quickly becomes frustrated, and at the 2:20 point he starts to become sexually abusive. Of course, the bot doesn’t react as he expects, which frustrates him even more. In the end, the bot wastes 10 minutes of the scammer’s time.
