got a call today from a "Peter" at IT Solutions in Valley Cottage, NY with this ph nbr: 718-310-3935... said he wanted to erase my "junk files" on my laptop & would i go to "my computer" and tell him what i saw.... i asked for his ph nbr and to speak to his supervisor and he said "good bye"....
has anyone else been snookered <or attempted to be> by this co? i kept asking him questions & wouldn't do what he wanted so he hung up. he said his company could locate tons of junk files on computers & that it was a global solutions co. yeah, right.
I think you're right, Stevie. My family has been receiving calls like this. He gave me the phone number you mentioned; but he seemed to give it grudgingly.
I just got a call to from "Peter" from IT Solutions and told me to turn on my computer and he would guide me to my junk files because their are malicious content in them. He's getting better at answering questions Stevie E because he answered them but my "gut feeling" was that this phone call wasn't right!!! He still kept repeating himself was the give away! BEWARE!!!
I just got the same call from ITT solutions. I listen to him walk me all the way through my computer checking for errors. The whole time I was questioning the legitamcy of the call and was constantly reassured it was safe that they were trying to help me. When Peter wanted me to go to this web page www .esup.me I refused to do that because I was suspicious. He made a big sigh and hung-up on me. I called the phone number on my caller ID and got a party that wanted me to leave a message. I called the 718 310 3935 number and Peter answered so I hung up. Immediatly after hanging up, Peter called me back. I am really suspicious about this call and I felt really uncomfortable. I hope I stopped at the right point and that I did not allow a stranger with bad intentions remote access to my computer.
I got one of these calls today.. freaked me out.. I said I was on a "do not call list" but was told that this was informational only and that the caller company was a division of Microsoft. I spoke first to "sam" and then his supervisor "Michael". Their accent was such that I understood them to be from Asia (likely India). After showing me thru my computer management screen all the bad stuff that is in my computer, I do want to do something about it. I asked how much this would cost, and he said "money comes later", I said I would not continue until I knew what it would cost. Told it would be $50, $100, $150.. depending on what they found. I said I would talk to my IT guy and depending on what he said I would pursue it (Hah!). End of conversation.
They wasted a lot of my precious time when I was preparing dinner.
