Scam the “Microsoft Tech Support Scam”

Scammers behind the “Microsoft Tech Support Scam” pretend to be from Microsoft or another official group and claim to have detected errors on the users’ computers. They have the victims pull up internal logs that show errors, and convince them to download and run the Ammyy Admin software to allow them to remotely control the system. After that point, they may install backdoors or other malware, or simply ask for hundreds of dollars to “fix” the problem.
