Miles the Indian boy made a poor decision on scamming young mitchy when he asked for some tech support

When someone from India cold calls you and says you have a problem with your "dextop" computer. They use scare tactics, such as the Event Viewer (eventvwr) and the Tree command in Command Prompt to try and convince you that you have a "wirus" on your "dextop." They ask you to pay a large sum of money for the "fixes," and if you don't pay, they try to put syskey on your computer, which locks you out of your computer. Popular topic for Youtubers and pranksters.
#1: Did you get that call from Microsoft yesterday?
#2: No, it was a Tech Support Scam. It was not Microsoft.
