The beauty of virtual machines

At one company I worked for, one of the tech support guys got a call like this. They fired up a virtual machine and let the scammer loose on that. Of course every reboot, all changes were lost ... I don't know how long the charade went on for.

I do know the techie in question seemed to have a lot more patience for remote scammers than they did colleagues in need .....
