You can however, offer to use your own sharing software and wrap it with malware however IT MAY BE ILLEGAL to do so. I asked her how AnyDesk approaches this issue and what each individual person can do to protect themselves. Lena Lohmaier is the Brand Manager for AnyDesk and helps fight online fraud and scams with AnyDesk. If you ask too many questions about their organization, they will hang up on you. Fraudsters also use AnyDesk for scams, along with all other remote desktop tools on the market. I assume they use similar tactics if you tell them you have Windows or an iPhone. They try to convince people to install team viewer for android phones and AnyDesk for MAC laptops. Summary: These scammers are cold calling people claiming to be some secret protectors of the Internet stopping John Crawl the hacker from owning the “internet”. I offered to use my own sharing software … tha gave them something nasty instead and that was the end of that.

When I asked about their organization, i was told they are a secret organization designed to prevent hackers like John Crawl.

I asked about the server connecting to my phone and was told it would hide my IP address and stop any future attack. Next, I was told to install team viewer and give them access to my phone. I was told MY PHONE WAS HACKED TOO! I was advised to have my phone secured at that point and told using an android to go the Playstore and type QS. I asked them to explain what server I was connected to and they told me they couldn’t disclose where the server is until the work is done. This would give them access to my computer. The next step was to get me to install AnyDesk via going to anydesk/download.
