Unfortunately the trick works and the scammer gets bitcoins https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/1DVU5Q2HQ4srFNSSaWBrVNMtL4pvBkfP5w

The scammer has almost a whole bitcoin now.  I can't believe how stupid some people can be.

There is another shady site that comes up when you do a google search for the bitcoin address:

Code:
https://howtoremove.guide/remove-1dvu5q2hq4srfnssawbrvnmtl4pvbkfp5w/

It claims to remove the malware, but there probably wasn't any malware to begin with...  Until you follow the instructions on that page.

It's also important to note; SSL certificates for a website are easy to get, even for anonymous scammers.  Just because a site has "https" doesn't make it safe.
