Some of them are catching on to the virtual machines, though. I've seen them ask specifically if they are running a virtual machine. My father's ex-wife is one of those marks who has been hit several times. He had her computer cleaned of the Microsoft Security Scan scam twice in the same year. The last thing she fell for was some sort of lottery scam from New York before he was able to lock her bank accounts. It started before her dementia. She is one of those gullible people that those scams work on. You know when you are driving through the mountains on the interstate and you see all the cows facing one direction? He would tell her that those cows are specially bred to have longer legs on one side so they can stand up straight on the hillside and that they have to travel all the way around the mountain to get back to the barn. She believed him and would tell other people. We would nod our heads and make believe that we were learning something new.
