I also received a call from this guy. He said that I could sign up for
help at $80 a month. I think that he works with other people who work customer service at banks accross the country. How unfair is this!
They want your ss#'s. God only knows what their plans are for your financial situation.
I got such call on last august. I was initially apprehended but allowed them to fix my slow PC. But I didn't find anything wrong. I gave them my credit card details. But everything is ine till date. But my computer is running smoothly now & all my data are safe & secure. Therefore, I think they are not at all fraudstar.
They used a Trojan to infect PC. This enables them to look my PC remotely, and to alter files. They remotely disabled my virus killer.
They rang me 3 days later.offering me there servises Knowing i had a virus .
How did they get my number and how did they know i had a virus .As if i didnt know .
they gave me there contact number it is 020 30513257 or 127 479 0000.
What can we do to to put these scamming [***] down .
Hooray! Somebody who had them do the same as they did to me. Some people said I was wrong about the Trojan Traps, but I definitely know they set up a fake Youtube link about a car, posted on a car owner's site, to download a Trojan dropper that gave them access to my PC. It then went badly wrong and they phoned me using info from my emails the next day. They definitely had accessed my PC!
They also diasabled my virus killer AND spyware killers. They appeared to be working perfectly ok, but they weren't and I had to reinstall them.
They also seem to have people searching the net to lay traps in places people won't expect them, and to put up fake good reports about them wherever they are being exposed.
If this wasn't in India they would all be in jail.
I keep getting calls from the 'Windows service centre'every couple of months or so, but being very cynical, have not actually fallen for their nonsense. Today someone called (Indian) and once again told me my computer was generating error reports. I was very curt with him, as usual, and asked what he was going to do about it-said he would fix it, so I said 'What-and charge me?' He replied 'No'. Anyway, I said if he wanted to discuss it further, he could ring back later and speak to my husband who is a computer technician-funnily enough,they never seem to do this! Next time they ring, I might just string them along for a laugh.
Out of interest, I googled Windows Service Centre and had my suspicions confirmed by this site.
Incidentally, my in-laws have had similar phonecalls, and they haven't even got a computer!
