what the f*ck is up with these scamers if anyone offers you a deal to fix your computer just hang up or tell them to f*ck off

14 May 2011 - got a call from this company at 1830 hours this Sat night stressing that I had alot of Trojans and viruses and that my computer would crash if I did not fix it IMMEDIATELY. Stated they run a 24/7 service for Microsoft. Following a prolonged 36 minutes conversation I refused to pay the $173 to fix it until I verified the company on Monday and the person hung up! SCAM for sure as I tried ringing company on Monday and could not get through!

Desksense makes no sense at all.  The only thing this company helps you with is to your own hard earned dollars.  Don't be tricked like I was.  Mind you, I have Asian friends but if they were of Desksense then I wouldn't need enemies that's for sure.

i received this message  from a foriegn voice saying my computor would crash and asked me to turn on my computer and follow his instructions by pressing start thenprogressing to run theninto files.....at this point I decided not to continue.  I closed the computer and phone. He rang back and beggedme to try again. who is this person?

I had the same call from  multiple people of an Indian accent begging for access to my PC to remove malicious software. They gave there number as (02) 8014 4592 - Global Computing in the USA and that they where support for Microsoft.
Well they are not. They are trying to gain entry to your PC to strip of any passwords available... banking details, accounts, access to anything you have, Facebook etc..
It is a fraud.
I told them I work for Microsoft Security and they kept talking over me, pleading for access. Was quite comical.
But it is FRAUD so beware.
I asked to speak to there boss and which I did and told him I was running a phone trace on there line, he immediately hung up - hehe
