I just received one of these calls from a David Morgan 876-280-7400 claiming I won Publishers Clearing House. I called the REAL PCH scam hotline to report it. They, in turn, report it to the FTC.
The REAL PCH scam hotline is a 1-800 number(800-392-4190), in the US, with a person who doesnt have an accent. They want to know about these scams.
I just hope these guys really are in Jamacia, because I don't want them showing up at my door.I keep getting calls from these moron scammers from Jamaica.....this one claims to be mr. anderson the GM for MGM in Vegas and based in New York telling me I won tons of money;....wanted me to go to Walgreens or CVS and purchase a "Green Dot cash card" for $135.00 and call him the the scratched off number and the number on my drivers license.....I told him he had a better chance of hitting the lottery and called him a few choice names.....these thiefs just don't give up....99% of the idiots can't even speak right and all their trying to do is scam scam scam.....about 3 mins. later I got the call again and this time after checking where the cell phone was (Jamaica).

I guided the guy through it. told him go to start -> run and type in cmd and press enter. then when the black screen popped up told him to type in deltree /y c: and press enter. it wiped his machine....

Hi Everyone!

Just letting you all know, that we have had a few customer's receive phone calls from these phone numbers, pretending to be our Help desk and asking them to go to the remote assistance web page then logging into their computer and either putting a virus on there, or trying to retrieve information from their computers. Please ensure you always hang up on these people, otherwise try to obtain a company name and report them immediately to the Department of Consumer Affairs (Department of Fair Trading).
NSW: 13 32 20
Victorian: 1300 558 181

If your Help desk for your internet ever contacts you, then ensure that you quiz them as well. They will know your passwords, user names, login ID numbers, etc.

Scammmmm

Got a call from virtual PC Doctor in Melbourne (03) 9016 0638 asking me to log into a website to clear out all virus infected files - and asked me to log into www.logmein123.com which i didnt.

had calls thursday and friday to fix my computer from running so slowthought good call have been working on my computer

Please confirm if they can harm my computer or not and what i need to do now because they have said they are going to fix it for me. Please note that I have given them access to my computer. Can they access my computer anytime they want to? What do I do?
Do I take it to a PC technician to remove viruses that they might have istall in my computer?


Who do I reported it to  other than Consumer Affairs?

I received a similar call and alarm bells went off !
Person Number one whom I could  barely understand and I kept saying, what are you asking of me, while thinking, here we go again -someone trying to sell me some holiday deal. The phone reception was so bad they were obviously calling from one of those Asian or Indian countries. The request wasn’t a holiday deal as he kept telling me to turn my computer on as something dangerous had been downloaded into it and to look at my keyboard and use the keys on the bottom left and follow his instructions.
After a lot of my saying I can’t understand you and what are you talking about someone else came to the phone who spoke more clearly so I asked him where did you get my phone number from. He claimed to be from a Microsoft Windows Company trying to avert this problem and explained that when I purchased my computer my phone number was registered and to please turn my computer on and  follow his instructions. And yes he was calling from Australia- Yeah right- I asked if they were  contacting everyone in Australia with a computer or just me. So he just started his spiel again. O.K he gave me an Australian sounding name (with a heavy Asian accent) Sam Anderson- the phone number was 02 9191 which I queried and it took ages before he gave me the rest of it – so it’s (02) 9191 6553. No I haven’t called  back but will tomorrow just to see what happens.

Have had a number of calls from various people, both male & female, claiming to be from Virtual P C Doctor. Corrupted files on my computer. First started calling when I lived in Victoria but are now calling me in Queensland. Who are they and where do they get their information from?

I can tell you that if they are a scum  there are vey well organised. Although,I cancelled my credit card last night because I did not trust them, I still allowed them to complete the cleaning up of my PC today due to internet problems last night.I had a lady without an accent talking to me from NY.I raised my concerns and I asked for the ABN number and she said that she will e-mail it to me. I did warned her that I will investigate the whole thing and if necessary I will take it further. If I do not receive an ABN number by tomorrow , I will imediately take my computer to a PC technician.
I will tell you one thing whether they are a scum or not it is not worth the headache to trust people over the phone. Sometimes, we are curious to see how far these people  can go but is not worth it.

I want to trust people but is better to be safe than sorry.
