So if you ever get a call from Microsoft stating that there are some indications that your computer is broken or infected – please hang up! I just want to mention that there is no such department at Microsoft, and they would never call up customers offering this.

If the victim agrees on this, they will ask the victim to perform certain actions, and also type certain commands, which will trick a non-experienced user that the output is actually showing that the computer is infected. They will then offer (for free) to verify if this is the case. The scam is pretty simple they pretend to be from a department within Microsoft which has received indications that your computer is infected with some malware. They have been calling a lot of people in countries such as Germany, Sweden, the UK and probably more. The upside of that is you are confirming nobody is connected via TeamViewer, one downsides are that it might give a false sense of security if students are able to move the tool elsewhere, or find another similar tool to use.Im pretty sure that most of you guys know about the recent phone scam which is circulating right now. If you're receiving screen recordings of the students, perhaps you can include some instructions before the test begins, that they record themselves opening whichever menu on their computer is required to show that TeamViewer is either not installed, or if it is, open it and show that there are no active connections, and then have them exit TeamViewer in a way that prevents it being connected to in the background by a friend. I think this is a tricky problem to solve, and I don't think it'll be something you can track through Moodle logs, because it exists outside of the browser. I suspect that if the friend is remoting in and answering the questions in a browser on the student's machine, that the IP address will match the student and not the friend (though of course it's something you could test out).
