Scammer re pc

Post by Chris56 » Fri Aug 20, 2010 3:42 pm

my sister had a call from a jackass she hanged up on them and rung telecom etc so thought i'd put this up too

this is what went down
I have just recieved a call from a guy claiming to be calling from Comp Maintance PC Doctor and calling on behalf of windows. I asked him where is calling from and told me auckland. He says I have a virus that will destroy my comp if I don't get rid of it. He asks for you to go to my comp and go into the manage tab. were he asks if you have warning or error files if you says he then tells you
to go to this website wwwlogmein123 DONT visit this site has it is a way for them to hijack your IP Address. He also gave me a fake phone number 98872025. Telecom know about this scam. However if you have dialup they will hangup on you as they are after broadband users

he is calling from overseas

For anyone to fall for that scam, they more or less deserve it for being so stupid. Just about everything the person said should be a red flag to people that it isn't genuine and/or a scam. Mind you, most of the people that believe that stuff would be the same ones who have already passed on their savings to the President of Nigeria.

Log Me In is a legitimate program though that is used for remote computer access but you would never allow anyone access to your computer over the phone when you don't have a clue who they are.
