Fake Google Security Team ad says 'no script reading' in voice phishing - then prints the script
More mockery and memes from the Dark Web Roast
A criminal recruiter on Telegram was looking for voice-callers to participate in a scam that impersonated Google's Security Team. The ad specified that applicants should not use pre-written scripts, even as the posting contained the exact words the callers were required to recite. One individual, Derian (@crɑick), listed the ad in the UK Fraudsters Telegram channel, seeking male and female callers from the USA or Canada.
The ad boldly stated "NO SCRIPT READING" before going on to list the precise script the callers would use: "Good afternoon, this is [name] reaching you on behalf of the Google Account Security Team on a recorded line. Am I speaking with Larry Boyles?" Trellix's threat-intel analysts noted the "recorded line" flourish as a creative touch meant to lend legitimacy to the fraudsters' otherwise ineffective attempts at deception.
The recruiter's quality assurance process was described as lacking robustness, mirroring the unconvincing facade of the fake Google team it sought to impersonate.
