I usually get a few of these people each year and its been going on since I started online computer repair but i've never bothered to ask anyone why.
These people will come in and pretend to have a problem and want me to take a look at it but when I connect theres images some where, never in immediate view but either the images themselves will be minimized or the folders containing the images minimized and image thumbnails enabled. If the window becomes visible they usually say something like oops or those are my wife/girlfriend or oh those are pictures of me.
I'm not sure what their objective is, testing if i'm trustworthy perhaps or maybe something nefarious? It would be weird if they are just trying to share, theres sites dedicated to that kind of thing.
