after giving them remote access, but then cutting it off later, does it harm the computer in anyway? asides from being a scam company for money, do they actually damage your computer?
I can not belive my roommate fell for this.He even went as far as to give them remote acess lol.I heard him talking and told him it was a scam he got mad at me and said the guy is trying to help him.
this # 989-220-4326 which is scamming people about computers is calling me saying they are from Southern Alliance Law Firm in California the supposed tech on this video sounds like the guy that keeps calling me saying that i am being sued from the federal government ....
i make a habbit of calling my budy daneil from 1-989-220-4326 everyday. since they call me i call them now...i enjoy telling them about showing up to their workplace and cutting off their fingers so they wont be able to call me anymore...ive been woken up on countless occasions after night shifts by them...asked to be taken off their calling list...to no avail....so its time for me to f*** with them!
The male voice sounds EXACTLY like the man from Global IT, and they even have the same "registration code" screen. They also used the names Consult PC Experts, Global IT, and Global PC Protection.
its always the fuckin!! foreigners that do this to us it really fucking angers me that we send money to countrys and there a select few that are scamming us trying to help i'm fucking rangen't right now
Still going strong. I've received two of these calls in the past couple of weeks. I let the guy who called me today talk for a while. What error messages? Generalities. Why does your company get these messages? Vague. Which computer (I have five or six running most of the time behind my router)? Vague.
Finally wished him good day and hung up. He called back to complain that I hung up on him! Persistent. Must be making money or they would not be there... beware!
Im in the uk and got the same india type call today.His Phone number was withheld and he put the phone down on me when i asked how he got my contact details.
someone from india called me claiming to be windows support and that I had bacteria viruses and germs. that raised my first suspicion.
they asked me to run eventvwr which I did figuring that step couldn't be harmful in itself and they asked me to say how many warnings and errors were in the log.
then they asked me to run fastsupport. com, not open it in a browser, and then I said I wont do that because I can't trust that you are microsoft. then he hung up without saying anything.
I got few of these calls recently but I don't have the time to mess with them but my partner did as I told them never call this number and that it's a scam. So what did they do call back and when my partner answered the phone they try to scam him but he was just messing with them to the stage where he told them the computer broke and he can't access it again as it's asking for money. They gone call tomorrow again::(scam scam scam
this happened today, when i got to about 2:20. I felt something was wrong and quickly put him on hold while searched this up. I immediately hit the red x canceling and closing everything. Is my computer safe?
I got rang up twice in an hour by the same people so i asked them what OS do I apparently have, they said windows. So i responded with no sir I have a mac
I got 3 phone calls from India in the last month claiming to be from microsoft. I play along for about 10 minutes then start yelling "BEUWWWWL SHHHIIYAT!!"
I got called this morning. I didn't know about this particular scam, but knew right away it was a scam. I listened just because I was curious what idiocy they would invent. I put them on hold until they hung up. They called back several times and I chatted about my flowers, and told them I was mentally unstable and off to the psych hospital and could they wait? Did this several times until they just stopped calling. Had fun with it!
Do u have their phone # i wanna call them so bad. I got called the other day by these Indian assholes and i asked for their phone # and he gave me a fake one then he told me i had viruses ect so he told me to instal teamviewer and go through my files with me i found it was all bull shit and hung up the phone im still pissed off and embarassed to say that i gave him the teamviewer ID and password, so therefore can they still control my pc and rape me up the ass?
One of these scam companies phoned me last Friday so I had a great time messing him around for 30 minutes, when he realised he was being mislead on purpose he got very angry, called me a m*therf**ker and said I should go back to hell! Luckilly I recorded the whole thing so put the highlights in a video and uploaded it! ;-)
@jamhamster called me too just today, i said i "don't have a computer" to him and he called me all the words under the sun. i hung up and he kept calling back, threatening me. called me back 12
Thanks Symantec I have came to this conclusion before seeing this video a few months ago. My first clue was No return number on my caller ID for this company. I am very familiar with the error messages in the event viewer for many computers and when the technician guided me to this diagnostic viewer I had my proof that they were stringing me along.
These people really tick me off. Is there anything that can be done about this scam and invasion of privacy?
This is why I hate people who call themselves experts, they do more harm than good and rely on the good faith of people to sort their PC's. Recommendations are better than certificates
I received a call last night(March 16, 2011,) they had east indian accents and attempted to tell me my computers was experiencing problems,they wanted me to go to a website called 123logmein they also claim their company name was Maakaboor. I didn't believe it right from the start and when I told him I believed he was trying to scam me he became rude with me saying he wanted to fuck my daughter and to take my computer and stick it in my moms pussy,I then hand up. - Everyone beware of this scam!
My PC has been broken for abount 6 months now so when these guys rang up and said that it had viruses I was quick to say "haha my PC has been broken for about 6 months now dickhead" and then hung up lol.
thanks buddy i just recieved call frm 24/7 i just asked them some questions and googled in net i got this video, i asked them to fix it directly by releasing updates frm microsoft and hang up,
Hi , i just recieved a call from technical support called 24by7techsupport and i agreed to pay 80 pounds through paypall which would cover me up for a whole one year and they also installed norton anti virus 360 in my computer for a year ? Do you think its fraud ?
I just received one of these calls. I played his game for a while knowing that it was all a scam. The website they directed me to was techforhelp com And stated that it would cost me $195.00 au for 12 months computer support to fix my slow computer. After a while I advised the caller that I believed he was a scam and that I did not have a windows computer but ran MAC. He then abruptly hung up. So be careful of anyone from that company.
I had a scammer just like this 3 weeks ago. When they wanted me to enter my personal details I kicked him out of my computer and hung up on him. After 1 hour he called back but my mum picked up the phone. She threatened him that of he called again we will be calling the police. The guy said go ahead call the police.
I just got taken for about 2 minutes with this crowd. An Indian chap with the unusual name of Nick Williams spoke to me stating he was a subcontactor from Microsoft. I let him show me the infections and ten he went to the search engine google to get some freeware.Rat smelled!. So Google, not BING and freeware!!. I turned off my wireless internet immediately. He then went thro his sales pitch of lifetime guarantee for £300 per annum. Don't think he made any password changes for remote access.
@IP909 I just got a call from them as well. Some silence, then weird music, then some guy talking with a heavy Indian accent. My mother told them she wasn't interested and hung up on them.
My friend told me about the scam. She fought with the guy on the phone saying she never sent an error report then after a while told him she had a Mac... Well he hung up then. Guess they don't do Macs!
Apturo is providing tech support, and it is doing very good in its own way. Apturo guys are too good, and they have a very good reputation in market. Unlike others they are not providing any fake tech support, but they are really trying their level best to provide quality service to their valuable customers.
I got a call from someone named FRANK and said that i have got some problem with my computer and my computer has send some warnings and error reports to their server. They told me that they are calling from MY PC TREAT on behalf of MICROSOFT. After i rejected their offer i called in at Microsoft and asked them about this errors and warnings and they told me that it was a scam call from someone. These people and after money. Moreover they use paypal for the payments.
Symantec, I am wondering if I was a victim of something similar. I REALLY set up a support case for PCSafety, a legit Microsoft phone support service for malware-related issues. When they configured my case for a call back, my Caller ID said Microsoft. Yet, the last call, no phone number was displayed, and the name was "unavailable". They did remote assistance, and cleared the Temp and prefetch folder. I restarted, and Windows could no longer boot; Startup Repair failed. Is this the case?
They called me claiming to be from 'Microsoft Technical Department', claiming they'd received an automated error report although could not give specific details or my IP. When he wasn't getting anywhere, he said that they had 'scanned' my area and found my problem. Then claimed I need to renew a support contract. When none of it worked, claimed my XP license was illegal and he'd got my number from police. Hilarious. Had 3 calls from them - onlinepcsolution, 247pccare and now 'MS'(not).Beware
