I got a call today (3/8/13) from guy with a thick dialect...maybe Indian...but the number was "unknown." This was my second call, the other one was yesterday from a woman with a thick dialect. I gave both of them a really hard time because I knew it was a scam! I finally told the guy today that I thought this was a scam and would he remove my name from their call list...which he said he would do (yeah! right!). It really throws them off when you interrupt their "script" to ask questions. I do this about a minute and hang up.
I also received the same call yesterday. I told him I didn't trust him and was going to hang up, and at least he didn't get abusive. Definitely an Indian inflection to his voice--I doubt his name was Ron Wilson. The website he sent me to was cheezy and an obviously suspect "pay for support" deal.
Call from unknown caller & unknown phone. Man,with an obviously Indian accent, said he received an error message from my computer and he needed me allow him to gain access to my computer so he could repair it. He also said it had a widespread virus and my computer was in danger of crashing. He said his name, but I asked him to repeat it and spell it because his accent was so pronounced. He spelled it this way: Roan Wilson. He said he worked at: Online Supportonclick. I asked, him how could I know if he was who he said he was. That's when he gave me this number to call (347) 289-3770 and someone would verify the info he gave me and connect me to him by phone. I asked how would I know who I was really talking to? He said he'd be awaiting my call. I called HP Tech Service and they verified that I had been talking to a scam artist.
I received a call from an Indian man calling himself Neil Martin from supportonclik.com -- telling me that he got an error message from my computer -- funny thing was my computer was not on at the time and then he changed and said it was 2 weeks ago -- when asked how he got my phone number he said that he was able to trace it from my internet provider and then they game him my number - I called my ISP and they told me that was not true -- HE also wanted me to let him log into my computer to fix this error, I told him I was busy now and would call him back he gave me 2 different numbers one is 347-289-3770 out of NY and the other is 781-452-0714 out of MA I looked them up as he would not tell me where he was from. I kept asking this person he knew that my computer had this error since I did not send the report but he could not answer me. This sure sounds like a scam to me
My mother in law was called, same number, same scam. On 2/2 the person identified himself as Brad from Support on click. They said her computer was having trouble (too slow or something has invaded her PC that could destroy it and everything in it..etc). She told them she wasn't having any problems and hung up. She got a phone number( 347-289-3770) to call them to see how the call was identified. Upon answering they list themselves as Support on click.
Have been getting calls from a Brad from he says from Supportonclick. He said I have been getting popups on my computer that I was having problems and that I reported them. When I get things ike that I always click on don't send.Definitely Indian, very pushy, wanted me to get on my computer, I told him no. I asked for the phone #. He gave me 347-289-3770. I get these calls almost every week.My caller id shows unknown caller. This is scary.
