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.
Hi, I have had the company (SupportOnClick) call me twice now. All the usual very dodgy stuff. The funny thing is I mocked them the first time but two weeks later they called back again so that time I waited and got all their details (Nothing more then what is stated above). I put a complaint into the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission). He made all the usual claims that he was from MS and the ISPs but then didn't really know anything useful. In the end when I told him he was a scammer he said he was a federal agent calling from Washington DC and I was in big trouble for wasting his time and that I was an idiot (real professional). Needless to say he hung up to me laughing. Most definitely a scam and fraud I feel for the computer illiterate who will fall for their evil plan.
I too have been receiving calls from this guy. First one went exactly as above using "your computer is running slow" and the error report to MS. He became really nasty when I refused to go onto the supportclickon site and when I asked how I was to know it was not a scam he tried to make me look a fool by saying he had given me his details by giving me the web address. He actually scared me because he called me by my second christian name which is the name used by friends, whereas people who don't know me call me by my first name. He also seemed to know where I lived and a few other details. He then said he had been contacted by BT. I got rid of him that time, but have since had about ten more calls from him and my husband has had one. After the second call to me I telephone Microsoft who confirmed supportclickon is not on their list of support companies.
See my post further on!!! These people are using Trojans to get info from people's PCs. The first time they rang they called me by a friend's name that is in my email address book and the second time by my first name!
They have looked into your computer before they even phone you. They put the problem they pretend to find on your computer there i nthe first place!!!!
DO NOT PAY THEM ANY MONEY!!!! If they were in Europe they would be in jail now!
This guy called me with the same script. I figured out what was happening and hung up. I then logged on and filed a formal complaint with the Colorado State Attorney Office since I'm on the no call list and this was clearly a telemarketer.
