A message appears appears on your computer screen, claiming your PC has been hacked (includes Microsoft logo) and advises you to call toll free number 1800 014 762. The call goes through to India to a company claiming to be Live Technology Tech support. They say they can fix your problem for $330 (requests name, address, and CREDIT CARD details. They then remote into your PC, with you unwitting help and steal all your info. NEVER CALL THIS NUMBER. Instead, restart your computer in Safe Mode (press F8 before the Windows logo appears), and restore to a previous date. THEN CHANGE ALL YOUR PASSWORDS.

Indian 'Tech Support' company, claims to be a branch under Microsoft. This is a lie. For me they called themselves 'First Secure Solutions'. Did the whole thing where they log into your computer and 'fix' it. I took them up on a 1-year plan to keep my computer fixed, I called them up to clean up my computer twice in that time. Week or two ago they call again trying to 'renew' the plan, and tell me it's $400. I say I want to cancel it, so guess what... that's also $400. That's when I truly knew what happened. So I googled the 3 different numbers they gave me. This was one, so were 1800 989 083 and 18001021100. 2/3 numbers received mass reports of being scams

Scammed me for $400 a year ago. Now they're calling asking me for a $400 renewal of some sort of plan. When I asked to terminate the plan, guess what... that'll cost $400 please.

Filthy scammers. Give them nothing. They also go by the name 'first secure solutions' and use the number 1800 989 083 and the name 'Eric Lundy'. Just in case you need further proof

DO NOT RESPOND. RESTART your computer and CHANGE ALL PASSWORDS

Too late.... This was me 2 nights ago and they got $580 AU dollars, legit half my savings as im 19 and not living at home.

It happen exactly the same as me but they told me $ 199.99 USD for fix....

they got to me ... very convincing ... computer was frozen let them have control to fix .... allowed a credit card transaction of $US500 for fix and "Microsoft added warranty and security program" but does not appear to have been processed. Even had follow up call to check everything okay then two weeks later (today) they came back ... something about giving me a refund because the added program was incompatible with my computer. Unwittingly let them have screen control while bank account open (was half asleep) so they could "give me the refund" so refund goes in with an extra $9k then "O sh*t, I'll get fired if boss finds out." and screen doctored to show new balance ... was feeling suspicious before but that's when I knew for certain that I had been had. The following was the old routine ... has to be cash ... post office etc. Went to bank and got accounts killed ... no money lost ... computer seems okay.

Shocking predators. Do not call this number.

This is definetly a SCAM. DO NOT RING these Indian bloodsucking leaches!!
