Can we not have them on T.V?

I just felt like laughing but kept them on the phone, I said your calling from India and claiming you work alongside Windows, But she says, she is in Manchester… I asked what i should do now and she said :- 1- switch on computer, 2- press windows + R buttons together then enter some code.

BLAG BLAG BLAG!!!

She wanted remote sccess to my computer, I said I would like to confirm who they are first and asked for a number who I could call back…I was given 0208 133 9334.
Now I was off the phone gave me a chance to google them, Little did I know how easy it would be!!!
I entered the number on the google search bar and here i am!!!
Do not fall for them!!!
I rang them back and told them everything I now knew but they just kept telling me I was mistaken!!! couldn’t believe it

If you’re not IT literate, just hang up on them, if you are, string them along

So this morning I got about five phonecalls from 04259981533 which was the same number as yesterdays. I had planned on checking up on them on the internet before answering but eventually I answered since I was in my bed and forgot I wasn’t supposed to answer. So anyway, they were pretty good at persuading me they were from Windows, they said they were the ‘computer servicing centre for Windows’ or something along those lines.

They actually had me believing them, and stupidly I gave them remote access to my computer. I was pretty worried by then, but they’d shown me all these errors on my computer already and although I wasn’t completely sure what they were talking about (they said it was from the internet but the logs said the errors were comming from Bonjour, which has something to do with Itunes) I was worried my computer really was infected though. So I allowed them remote access and gave them my name, my phone number and my email address. I honestly thought I might have to watch as they downloaded some sort of virus but they didn’t, they downloaded a scan thing, which showed up all these 31,000 infections on my computer. I was pretty shocked, this is a brand new laptop, only three weeks old and I told them that. They just said it was even more urgent for me to get their help.

Then they tried to sell me their protection from £75 to £250 at which point I realised they were scammers. Couldn’t believe I’d let them into my computer, but still, unbelievably, had the notion that they might be genuine. So I dold them I had no money and could I take the name of their product so that I might go download it once I had the money, they tried to offer me a deal for £45 for two months and said this wasn’t a product, this was just them trying to protect my computer. I said no I didn’t have the money. Then they got desperate and asked for credit cards, I said I didn’t have any, they asked me to find a card, anybodies card, so that I could pay them. I told them I’d phone them back and they gave me this number 02081339334.

While I was on the phone I went onto my internet and looked up this number and found myself here. that was when I cut off the connection to the remote guy and told them I’d phone back. they let me go then.

I did a system restore immediately afterwards so hopefully they haven’t left anything bad in my computer. Can’t believe I fell for it, I was sure at the beggining that they were scammers, but they had me convinced. I still had doubts but not enough doubts to deny them access to my computer. I can imagine a lot of people could fall for this.
