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.
Twice had calls from this Indian "company". Number was witheld but when asked they gave me supportonclick.com as reference. This site lists the 796 4064 contact number!
I suspect they are planting and using Trojan droppers to get information from PCs. A few weeks ago I had a serious trojan problem which killed my virus and spy/ad killer software. The next day this company rang me and knew I "had a serious virus problem" and could help me cure it! How??? I had not told anyone!!!!
I told the caller what I thought of him as he must have put the virus there and he called me a "Fxxxing mother fxxxker".
Last night I had an internet problem which I resolved with my ISP. This morning I had the second call from "supportonclick". They told me my ISP had contacted them via the International ISP Agency (which doesn't exist!) to tell me they could help me with my slow computer.
There are several articles about this company on the net, giving it a bona fide appearance, but they are all on free sites and look as if they have been fabricated to give it a respectable "front".
They offered to give me an id and password so they could access my PC! No way!!!!!!!
Further info -
It looks like they are using a Trojan Dropper, such as Zlob, to infect PCs with a new variant of the Virtumonde or Vundo trojans, or something worse. This enables them to look at your PC remotely, and to alter files. They remotely disabled my virus killer and wrecked Ad-Aware and Spybot completely.
They rang me and when I refused to accept they were what they said they were abusive.
The day after I had the argument with them on the phone my PC would not start at all and I had to repair Windows! I suspect they sabotaged it remotely!
This is very worrying. Make sure you get the best anti virus/spyware you can!
Is there anything that can be done about this evil scam?
An Oriental (I think) lady. Same stories as above. Except she asked for Mr. Smith. Smith is my mother's name from a second marriage. Mine is Jones. (Mr Smith died 10 years ago). Mine is the name registered with the ISP but the phone line is in mother's name (Smith). So - is it a trojan or merely cold-calling from a phone book? The number she gave me is 0280147593.
