Re: I only hope he never bursts into flames

I've been watching a lot of scambaiting recently, and one tactic that seems to have cropped up is an offer to "refund" the mark for services that they claim were rendered. They'll connect via remote support software, and ask you to log into your bank account so they can process the refund... then they'll open the DOM editor and change the apparent balance. And whatever other fun things they do while they have the client's screen blacked out.
