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).

Got a call from one called "Steve" told them to how to fix it. there is a redundant command in windows computers that is called "Deltree". 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.... I waited about 2 minutes then said restart your computer. his response was "ok"... followed by "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY COMPUTER YOU PRICK!!!" told him "The same sort of thing you would have done to me dumbass"

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

I received a call from this number yesterday but its from Japan and i can't understand japaness language.

SAdelaide i would advise disconnecting your computer from the network, aka remove any cable that connects it to the internet and get advise from a computer repair technician.Also if you handed out any bank details via phone or online i would call the bank immediately.I just had a call from them and gave them my mind, and as yet have to phone me back although i am expecting their "supervisor" to call back.

I got the call from virtual pc doctor,yes i also fell that they sound like indians and i asked her and she told me she is a indian.In the same way they took the controll of my pc and as a computer literate person I knew that they can't harm my computer by taking the access and there is no way to access it again with out my permission.I heard about all the scam going around though I go for the service for 1 year they asked me to pay $131.99 through the credit card I took that risk also I make the payment.Still so far they have not take a single penny more than that and what services I am getting from them it's really good.Whenever I fell there is any problem with my computer I call them and they fix the problem without charging me anything.They are very good with the customer sometime it take more than two hour but they help me everytime I call.And now I am thinking I will go for more long years.Thanks  to Daisy who called me first time.

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 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.

Cold call (number blocked) received from Virtual PC Doctor who gave (03) 8807 0958 as a number in melbourne.
