Tech Support Scammer Threatens to Kill Canadian Man
-
British Columbia man recordered a telephone scammer who, once exposed, threatened to gruesomely murder the man. The scammer used private information about the man to attempt to scare him. Tech support scams have taken a serious turn in Canada where scamming tech support is a big profit enterprise.

That's pretty scary. Makes an argument for just hanging up and not messing with them. This takes it far beyond scamming. This is now threatening and extortion.

Well as the goals of ISIS and of DMCA are both purely to hurt Americans, it makes sense that they would join forces.
