Question to everyone: if the scammers got the IP address from the victim visiting their site, would they potentially start poking around in it on the assumption that anyone who would fall for the scam also probably has poor internet security overall?
I would say it's much more likely they could be using their phishing website to push malware to unsuspecting people. You don't have to download anything they could install it to the victim's system by exploiting software vulnerabilities. I don't know if that's what they do or not, but it would be a far easier way to infect and gain access to someone's machine than trying to use the IP address to penetrate it.
