Tech support scammer tries to scam me out of $350

I called these fake tech support scammers on the phone number that appears on their fake popup: +1(844)394-7523. I let them Remote Access my Virtual Machine(fake computer) @8.45. The scammer goes through all the normal fake diagnosis (dir/s, netstat, eventvwr, stopped services and false claims that Csrss.exe is a trojan) and he also checks for a VM in Msinfo32 and Device Manager.

The 2 websites used to attempt to charge me $350 were www.virus-eraser.com and www.casperantivirus.com and Godaddy are the Registrar and Host for both of these sites. Godaddy are well known for refusing to take down scammer sites. Godaddy are also complicit in the scamming of victims. Some other registrars/hosts are also complicit in the scamming of victims, but Godaddy are the worst.
