Caller
Good afternoon. This is Michael from Pinnacle Tech Support. We're a certified partner, and our system has detected that your computer has been sending us error reports and is infected with a dangerous trojan virus.
You
Really? My computer seems to be working fine though.
Caller
That's exactly the problem — these trojans work silently in the background, stealing your banking passwords and personal files. Most people don't notice until it's too late. I can help you right now if you'll allow me to connect remotely.
Caller
If you open your browser and go to remote-pinnacle-fix.com, I can access your system and run our enterprise-grade scan to remove the threat. It only takes about fifteen minutes.
You
I'm not sure I should let someone remote into my computer...
Caller
I completely understand your concern. Let me prove this is real. Press the Windows key and R on your keyboard, then type "eventvwr" and press Enter. Do you see all those red and yellow warnings? Each one of those is a sign that hackers are actively accessing your system right now.
You
Oh, I do see some warnings... So how much does the fix cost?
Caller
Our one-time security package is normally $399, but since we detected this early, I can offer the emergency rate of $199. I'll just need your credit card number to process the payment while I clean your system.
