client: Hi, need you to check if app is contains virus [link to scam website]

me: sure, download supposed "social Bitcoin miner" and run some AV tests...8+ positive flags for a Trojan virus.

>Me: It's a Trojan virus mate it's not legitimate๐Ÿ˜Ÿ

>Client: Can you remove the Trojan virus so that the legit not stays?

Me: Umm there is no bot mate it's just a virus ๐Ÿ˜• I wouldn't open it outside a sandbox

Client: But here it says Bitcoin faucet bot [links shitty how-to youtube video]

Me: ๐Ÿ˜’ it's not real dude you are about to get scammed, I can test it in a VM if you. . .

    I call it Askhole.

    When a person wants to do something, but unsure. They need clarification, but will do what they want anyways. Get your 30 bucks and leave him/her be.

    @Dollique nope, I don't mind after all it was just 5 minutes of a "don't do it/I told you so" style conversation, it was annoying tho.
