I’m on a train in the uk. To make things even worse, they’re handing out DfT survey QR codes. I decided to pass the time by filling it in. It’s by ‘Savanta Research’ and they’ve clearly never travelled by train. If you don’t get all the way to the end of a 15+ step form without submitting, you lose everything when you go through a tunnel and momentarily lose connectivity. It couldn’t be designed to be worse for filling in on the go.

My dad l, who worked in tech / IT his whole life (retired now) l, had a problem with his ISP. Called to report it and the next day they called him back, got him to install ‘remote support software’, etc. He eventually saw what they were up to and pulled the plug. Turned out 2 guys at the ISP were selling support tickets to the scammers.
So the expectation was there—who knows how many people they got before they were found.
Exactly—could easily have been much worse, and anyone without at least a little IT knowledge might not have realised. Kind of shows the lengths they’ll go to now, getting employed at targets etc.
