I fell for this back in the spring but didn't seem to have any problems until just recently when they told me I was being hacked and showed me this long list that just kept going and going. i figured they were paying attention to my stuff and got a paypal account and paypal took the money from my account, and paypal paid them. now they said that their accounting dept gave paypal and wrong info and want me to go to a 7-11 and get a specific money card and get paypal to pay me back. it pissed me off so i did nothing, except confirm the transaction with paypal. now they have LOCKED MY COMPUTER And won't let me on unless I call that number - and probably go thru a bunch of crap! WHAT CAN I DO? ANY BODY GOT IDEAS! PLEASE GIVE 'EM TO ME! I don't use the PC for my personal business but it's got AAALLLLL my photos on it !!!!! HHHHEEELLLPPP!!!!!!
thanx
I am on do not call list. A "Steve Jackson" with a heavy Indian accent from "Online PC Expert" company called giving this phone number, claimed that his company is authorized to "support all Windows computers... and is getting a signal that my computer is infected" and very aggressively tried to talk me into logging in and following his instructions. After I refused to give or even to confirm any information, or to follow any instructions, but volunteered to write down his instructions and show them to my non-existent technical specialist, he hang up.
An anonymous call was received from "IT Solutions for Windows Computers". A guy with a heavy Indian accent informed me that my comp is completely infected and he wants to help me blablabla. I turned on my Google voice recorder and decided to follow some of the instructions my Indian provided to me. When he wanted I delete all the error messages from my system event manager I finally got him. Promising to call back asap I asked his number and he gave me 315-636-4280. Then I asked him what is my IP address and he failed to answer. A complain filed to donotcall.gov
these people calling me and showing me viruses and telling me i need to fix my computer all this is a big scam which is running they are calling from it solution with a heavy ascent. wheni called there number no one replys on this number 3156364280
I got a call from the same guy today but he said his name is Sandi Jackson. Last week a similar scam called my phone addressing me as a Muslim saying he was from Dish Network. When I didn't agree with his demands he called me terrible names then kept dialing me back. What do they gain by doing this?
