Someone had too much time on his hands!
If I knew how, I would. But I bet their machines are well protected against attack, or at least have a snapshot to recover from.
They're not in the USA, so I don't think they'd give a damn.

Telemarketers are the best part of my day, I love it when they call. My bank kept calling me after I paid off my loan, they tried to get me to take another personal loan and asked me what I would spend the extra money on. I told them I'd spend it on the same thing I spend the rest of my money on.....hookers and coke.
Would metasploit be any use in this instance?

OK, I really want to do this.
Where can I get an extremely cheap copy of Windows XP (as I will be using it only for the scammers, nothing else)?
I have found (legal) copies on eBay for about £10 (roughly $17) including postage to the UK.
Can anyone find better than that?

I'm guessing that's the best you're going to do. I have a (legal) copy I could send (for free, I don't want it), but shipping would probably be kind of expensive across the Big Blue. IDEK if my parents would let me send it though since (a) I don't know you and (b) they're parents. So yeah, just go for the $17 one. And good luck!

Or you could post in the community market and say something like "I'm looking for a cheap copy of Windows whatever for a project (link to this thread). Anybody have one they'd be willing to part with or know where I can get one?" You just might get a super-cheap copy.

Thanks for the good wishes. Your parents are probably right, if you are a minor. Best to be safe -- be Linux, not Windows!
Thank you, I'll consider that. EDIT: The community market seems dead; only four threads, all of which were posted 2 week ago.
