They called my mother and told her to go to her computer. When she turned it on they were already on it, they had hacked in and charged her $107.00 to defrag it. They said they were calling from World PC Doctor.
They prey on anyone who will listen, and my Mom was a fool to give them her card number, I just hope everything else is OK. She had to cancel her credit card just in case.
Got a weird phone call just now. Guy with Indian accent who said he was calling to help me with my Windows problems — I don't have any, but he said they were calling 'all' Windows owners to fix problems causing computer to run slowly. He rattled off the name of his company, and after I asked several times I finally got: "Support On Click." The number on my phone readout was 336-776-0785 — and it said "Out of Area." Odd number. My first clue was he said his company was calling all users in Austrailia, England, and the United States. This is Canada.
Cautiously, I let him continue. He had me click Start-Run and type in eventvwr, and then click on Applications and tell him how many Error flags I had — well, there were hundreds, just from this past month. He asked for a little info about them, and started a spiel about how many people were having these kinds of problems. It sounded like the canned beginning of a sales pitch. he directed me to a website called logmein123.com and asked me to enter a code, but I refused.
I finally said I wasn't interested and hung up on him. He called back a minute later but I let it go to voicemail, whereupon he hung up.
Again: If you get a call like this, at home or at work… don't do what the caller wants. It's undoubtedly not good for you.
Just a word of caution regarding the previous post.
NEVER, NEVER use logmein123.com with someone unknown to you. This program allows the "other person" access to you computer. I use this program for work with our tech support and this is how they gain access and remotely control your computer thereby having access to all of your personal information.
