> that scammers are simply getting hired BY Dell, and then supplementing their hourly wage by trying to con Dell's customers out of hundreds of dollars more.

This, I've bought Dells in the past and one Indian based sales rep charged my payment card for an additional amount, I wonder if they expected me to not spot the extra charge but the card company refunded it. Thing is people deal with call centres so its easier as a criminal to join a large multinational company and operate from within as we assume big companies know what they are doing. Other problem is Intel Vpro/AMT is supplied in a lot of Dell equipment and its switched on by default. Even now, despite it being disabled, its not disabled as its 169992 port is showing up in ipv6 port scans. Intel really have created a hackers paradise with vPro/AMT.
