For the past few months, I've been working with AnyDesk to attempt to ban scammers from their network. AnyDesk is legitimate remote access software which is frequently abused by scammers.

Now, if I report (and provide evidence of a scam), AnyDesk will ban the scammer and search for other scammers on the same network. When they ban a scammer, they will see a slightly obscure error message "Anynet_19". The ban is permanent and uninstalling or running a VPN won't stop the ban :)

In this video, you'll see the scammer's screen after this ban hammer has been wielded... and you'll hear him get really scared after I tell him his location! Going forward, I'm working on an Open API which all Remote Access software vendors could use to ban scammers from their networks. It will be hosted by spamhaus.org (who attempt to ban email spammers).

TeamViewer agreed to use this in the near future! Let's hope other remote access vendors also follow suit.
