Steven (heavy accented Indian national) of VTech Software Solutions planted a pop up freezing my Dell computer and had me run "eventtvwr" to see all the errors and warnings regarding my virus infected network which needed immediate fixing. Then he ran "msconfig" to see apps that had been stopped charging for a "guaranty lifetime" contract $399.99. Citi Bank Visa signature credit card is slow in in- vestigating them. Complaints to various regulators, such as fbi.gov/cybercrime, ftc.gov' BBB, and others have been launched immediately.
I received a call from someone stating he was with Microsoft and there were virus infections in my computer. I asked his number and said I would call back. My caller ID showed 917 200 9422. I called that number and there was no response by the phone.
I received the same call from someone stating he was with Microsoft and there were virus infections in my computer. I asked his number and said I would call back. My caller ID showed 917 200 9422. I called that number and got an all circuits are busy message.
I also got a call, (Nov 30) their giving me the same 860 222-2728 number telling me the same thing about infections, saying they :"were connected to Windows," and saying they were from "V Tech Solutions."
Just got the same call; he said he was with V Tech solutions and that they were the programmers for Microsoft Defenders, which was sending them all sorts of error messages and warnings regarding my system, that I had downloaded an infectious file that was causing system trouble. He had me run "eventvwr" to see all the errors and warnings in my system, then ran "msconfig" to see the applications that had been stopped, said I needed to give him access online to my computer and he'd clean it all up for me. I told him no thanks and asked what number I could call if I changed my mind. He gave me the number 860-222-2728. I looked up V Tech Solutions online and called them. They said this is a total scam!
Just got the same call from 860-222-2728. A man with a very heavy Indian accent saying he was with V Tech Solutions and that Windows Defender was sending them error messages from my Dell computer. I was very skepitcal and didn't follow any of his directions. Sounds like I did the right thing.
