From the looks of things, tech support scammers don’t hide their tracks well. They use fake pop-up warnings and fake software to scare people into calling and paying for their services, and these pages and software often have traces of the actual owner buried in them somewhere. The people at the tops of these scams often have multiple projects running parallel to each other (which, to me, is almost always a sign of someone doing something they shouldn’t be) and many times they leave easy to find traces of how their business interconnect, which inevitably leads you to something more “legitimate” which shows who they really are.
Beyond that, though, this interconnect usually betrays the scam in more direct ways. It can be a little complex to explain, and rather than tell you about it, I thought it would be cool to share this video I found with you, where YouTuber Jim Browning uses easily accessable information from a scam to find out exactly who is behind a particular scam.
Enjoy!
