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.
A guy called Andrew Hudson rang my mother-in-law today and said that a hacker had got into her laptop and he wanted to show her how to stop it. She contacted me and I went and checked out the number and found it to be a scam. DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH ANYONE ringing from 02033186362 its a bloody scam. It fightened the life out of my 80+ mother-in-law and the bloke should be castrated.
I got a call from an inidan lady saying she was windows service centre. Like those above, she asked me to search the computer with Windows + R , and look for errors and duplicate files which are malicious spyware/malware. They then told me i needed to update my software warranty, and then referred me to another company DRI 24 x7 PC help using the website www.logmein123.com . I fooloishly purchased their "technical support " and allowed them access to my computer . I have since changed all my passwords and called my credit card compnay ( which i used to make the $101 ) purchase to cancel that authorisation/ + card . Any other advice?
I had a call from an Indian sounding man, trying to tell me that he was from the windows service center and that I had a problem with my computer. He asked me to switch the computer on to do a few checks, I told him that I did not have a problem but if left to him I would shortly have one, I gave him a few minutes more then I told him that was 17:23 and this conversation is finished.
Two calls from an indian/pakistani bloke who said he was from Windows Support.
When I asked him how he obtained my phone number he said it was off the internet.
I told him that I wasn,t interested and hung up.
Also his English was very bad and I had to ask him to repeat himself
I then tried ring back and found they had withheld their number.
I had a call also from this indain sounding man put me through several things with my computer after telling me he was from windows and I had a bug that was infecting all my frinds when I E-mailed them.
He then asked me to open the web site www.24.x7pchelp.com.
and insistered that i purchase a protection for over $200.00 I told him I would't have that amount of money untill a weeks time .He then told me to just put it on my credit card as my computer would crash any moment if I didn't.I didn't like how pushy and cross he was becomming so I told him I didnt have a credit card.
He then sugested that I ask my husband for his.!!
The scary thing was he knew My name.
He rung back two hours later and I told him not to ring again as I knew it was a scam.
Hopefully this will be the end of this
