I wish these [***] would just disappear, and not in a nice way.. I just tell them to F*$% OFF at this point, without even letting them get through hello. I wish someone could stop these calls. This is a scam, and I wonder how many people they've been able to rip off.....
Yep....they are still calling around identifying themselves as text2text support for Windows. Telling me that I have bad files that have viruses, etc. and wanting access to my computer directly. Asked them if they were associated with Microsoft and all I got was we are an independant tech support.Very persistant but so was I :)- telling them that if its that bad go through my ISP....as if!!!
The key to this message at any time is that the caller will tell you that the Windows servers are in danger due to a virus on your computer. Windows is a program, and the servers would be Microsoft. I explained this logic error with the caller to see what he would say, but he ignored my comment and simply repeated himself until I hung up.
just got a call from "mark" and when i called him out on this he eventually got mad at me and was super rude and hung up on me. i asked him how it was possible for him to know anything at all about my computer simply by using my phone number and he told me it was from the "internet router system" they used. hahahahaha. ummm i hope people don't actually fall for this :/
My parents received a call from someone calling from 201-338-6148 offering to fix their computer cause they can see there are "lots of problems with it". They asked for the IP address adn then a credit card number to which they needed to charge $120 to fix "the problem". They said they're calling from TechBudda and the person's name is Arer or something like that.
This is a complete scam. There is nothing wrong with my parent's computer and especially not someting someone cuold see over the phone without ever seeing the computer. They're praying on unsuspecting elderly people.
got a call from one stop pc solutions. they said they represented windows and that my warranty had expired and they were contacting me to renew it. they explained the situation being that many error messages had been recieved and that they were able to clean them up for me. they had explained this to my wife who had allowed them access to our computer. they charged me $ usd 129 for the fix up which required their going into my computer and installing their software which diod nothing to solve the problem,which incidently did not exist before the phone call, but a regeistry of these error messages magically appeared. my computer has since been cleaned and cleared by a reputablle computer repair company. i have contacted them by e mail and phone requesting a refund, but as of yet none has appeared.BEWARE these people who prey upon others!!!!!
