Failed scam is failed

Now i understand from a lot of other people writing on other sites that AMMYY is a legitimate site and app, but its clear that is being used to con people, which is why i uploaded this, in an attempt to show the few people who visit my channel what to look out for, not that they need the advice, but hey,, its there just in case!

Following is what i would do to remove AMMYY, im only suggetsing these steps, im not telling you to follow them, so if you choose to follow these steps then you do so at your own risk.

If you are unsure, then seek professional advice from either the store you bought your computer from, or if you're using a Windows OS, then you could find more information and telephone contact details from their Support web page.
.........................................

How to remove the AMMYY application from the computer:
If using Windows, then you can choose to follow these steps,,

First of all, turn off Remote Assistance and then Remote Desktop, then have a look at what is currently running on your computer, Open up the Task Manager and see which programmes are running,, to do this the quick way, simply hold down Ctrl, Alt, Del and select Task Manager from the list, now when in there, be very carful what you're doing,, and be sure to only stop the running of AMMYY programme/s.

Secondly, you need to know if there has been any malware or viruses placed on your system, so if you removed AMMYY right away without checking for those then you may find it more difficult to spot any associated files which may contain viruses etc, a great programme to use would be Malwarebytes, Search for that using the Google Search bar, download the trail (or buy it), and install it and let it update it self,, once its been updated, disconnect from the internet, and perform a FULL SCAN, then follow the steps from there to remove any viruses or malware etc,,,

Once thats all done, you can begin to remove the AMMYY application it self, AMMYY is a legitimate application, and it should have its own uninstall option in the folder located in the "All Programmes" list, to get there simply click on the Start button (or Windows button), take a look through the "All Programmes" tab, You should see AMMYY, so open the folder and see if it has its own "Uninstall Option", if so then follow the steps to remove it,, if it doesnt have an uninstall option, dont worry, you can still get rid of it by using the "Uninstall or a Change Programme" setting, and to get there, simply double click the "Computer" icon, or find the "Computer" listed in the Start Menu,, AMMYY should appear in the list which will load up of all programmes currently installed on your computer.

Simply click on it and follow the steps.

Once you have removed AMMYY, there's still a little bit of work left, so next you should click on the Start Menu again, or hit the Windows Key,, Then in the search field simply type in AMMYY, this will show if there is anything left of AMMYY,, note that a manual deletion may be required of any remaining AMMYY folders and files from here, so remove everything you see identified as AMMY.

Last thing, When all thats done, open up the MalwareBytes programme again, and perform another FULL SCAN,, once done you're ready to go back online and feel confident that there's no sweaty little con man sitting in India or Pakistan watching what you're doing.



I assume no responsibility for any damage YOU do to your computer, if you are unsure, then i recommend seeking professional help/advice for your operating system from either your retailer or from the Official Microsoft website or call their customer service center.

  • hey clintmint. Best presentation I have viewed so far. I normally just hang up my phone. I have fucked with them a bit but after hearing you, I plan to follow your advice. I am a retired senior so I have lots of time on my hands to screw with their shitty heads. Again, Thanks.

  • @etcurrie I'm glad you liked the video sir, i appreciate it.

    To me, i guess i do it because i know if i can just keep them on the phone and mess with them and waste their time, then they aren't gonna be scamming someone else who may be taken by them, this is my only motive really, well, besides having my own little bit of fun with them messing them around for a while, keep my mind sharp too!

  • The scammers phone number is 347-809-6760. Give em a call and harrass them a bit. Pretend like you're a sucker and waste their time and fool around with them. It's good times !

  • @salmoncedar I'm not going to call them and spend end up with a bill,, BUT, I really do appreciate it that you posted that number.

    I think i might just be able to have fun with them next time they call,, perhaps scare them a little bit. BWAA HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA

    Thanks man!

  • Hahahah yuo're so funny!

    "so i have type in eventwvr?"

    LOL! She obviously didn't say that, but she got scared "nonon, delete that, delete that."

    ahhahhahaha

    SO FUNNY!. eventwvr is sooo not what she said!

  • @ColdCity Oh I get really deep on them, I almost make myself laugh a lot of the time because I know what I'm doing, but they have ZERO CLUE, any half way smart/savvy person would click onto moe playing dumb as much as i do, but these balloon head dont, I do have to mute the microphone at times because i just cant contain the laughter.

  • I told them that the battery on my cordless phone was dying (which it was) and could they call me back on my cell. Now i have the number they called from. I ended the call by telling them I was reporting them to the fraud unit and that I had their phone number. I also kept telling the guy that I could not understand what he was saying.

  • I might consider going through that scam process using my spare laptop and see what happens. Of course I will save some gay porns, fake bank details and let them have full access.

see all

  • Tell them that you're working for microsoft and that the errors and warnings is only shutdown errors and lost connections. Because thats what they are XD

  • thanks alot they kept telling me theyre trying to help me and i really had no clue this vid helped me thanks alot did they keep saying they were trying to help anyone else?

  • i tricked them for a 1 hour!!!

    the woman felt really insulted by my sneering laugh so after 30 mins of playing dumb with her she gave her phone to some "Advanced support technician" so that i could waste our time for another 30 mins... 20 of those mins got wasted because i told them i have slow internet.

    They tried getting me to first install Ammyy, and later they tried TeamViewer... both of the times i came with tricky excuses of why the apps apparantly dont work :)

  • @clitmint
