    I remember one of those malware scams that install a program that ran full screen on your PC, took a pic of you with your webcam then claim it found CP on your PC with FBI logos and shit. Then asked for gift cards to “drop the investigation”

        I used to work at a PC repair shop. It was always a laugh when a parent brought one in with a teenage boy in the webcam shot.

        “Ma’am. Your son probably didn’t download CP. This is just a scare tactic scam to try and get money from you. Do you think the FBI would drop an investigation for some gift cards from Walmart?”
