Troy Hunt took on one of these groups years ago and let them loose in a VM to see what they did.

They are apparently onto the VM trick now. I've heard of them checking the running processes for the virtualized network connection, etc.

There's a twitch streamer called Kitboga that messes with these types of scammers in VMs. It's pretty entertaining. He uses a voice changer and has a timer in the corner on how long he manages to keep a scammer occupied.
