Set up a fake Windows VM to fuck with them
There was a very custom theme for Gnome 2 that made it look like Windows XP...
That might be even funnier, but there's still a chance they're proficient enough that they could cause problems once they realized what was happening. A VM would help mitigate the chances of that.
Obvious answer is to do both: A VM of a Linux desktop skinned to look like Windows XP
There was a good version of windows 7 set up for this. Command prompts wouldn't work right, and really messed with them if you gave then access.
I let one in once and managed to reverse the remote desktop and took over their computer.
That was fun.
Fucking with scammers is a public service.
