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.

They are a SCAM- confirmed by CYBERSECURITY AND VICTORIA CONSUMMER AFFAIRS. For more information go to their websites. No one knows exactly what they can do to your computer and whether they can steal you identity. Speak to your technician as soon as possible!

It doesn't seem to matter how many times these people call you, they will always call you again. So, my advice to how to deal with these scammers is if you've had a bad day, you haven't yelled at someone for a while, then get stuck in to them. When you tell them you know it's a scam they'll hang up. But make sure you tell them what you think of them first.It has a great cathartic effect if you need to blow off some steam.

I just received a similar phone call from a lady with a heavy Indian accent who advised me that she was from a Microsoft Call Centre. I was given the spiel that there was a lot of junk and malicious downloads happening on my pc and that she would talk me through how to delete them, all I had to do was follow her advice. This sounded very suss, even to a person who is not very computer savvy! I asked her again to explain the problem and 1) advise where she got me phone number from? 2) how did she know what was happening to my personal computer? 3) where exactly was she calling from? 4) what is her supervisors name and can I speak to him/her? 5) what is her phone number so I can call back the centre any time at my leisure. The upshot was that she was taken aback by my questions and became very defensive. I have since called back the phone number I was give (02) 9191 6553) only to get a recorded message telling me that the mail box was full

I have been called over 3 times and is getting on my nerves.!!!!! THIS IS A SCAME !!!!!They ask for someone then they ask you to turn on your computer because there is a fault. That is how they get your infomation - eg. passwords, card numbers and everything on your computer.

Got a phone call tonight, Indian accent. Asked for his name, their company details and phone number. Name Jonothan Watson, Company " What's Your PC Doctor". Ph (03) 8807 0958/">(03) 8807 0958. I then asked for his ACN, he did not know what an ACN was. Kept asking for this and he said he had already given me this, (03) 8807 0958. I then asked if he knew what an ACN was. No reply and then his "supervisor" got on the phone. Guess what, sounded like the same Indian guy but his name was "JACK THOMSON". I had a laugh and asked him for their ACN. No reply. I then asked if our conversation was being recorded. Reply: "of course it is". I then advised hime he was in breach of telecommuniciation regulations as he or Jonothan did not advise me the conversation was being recorded and I would report this immediately. He started yelling and stuff so I took my day's frustrations out on him, calling him a few choice names, what he could with his company, etc . Ah! I feel better now. I'm really sick of these almost daily unsolicitored phone calls. My suggestion is to keep asking all the questions you can. Their name, colour of their hair, eyes, what town they live in, street name, etc, etc. Don't give them a chance to ask you questions. It must be costing them time for these calls. Let's dish it out for a change. Costs you nothing,

L Paul.... Are u for real? We might not be able to hear you talk.. But it doesn't matter because u type like an Indian/foreigner... This is not the first site I have seen where these people go on and pretend to have been called and that the company is great...they must search for sites that bag them and then pretend to have been called and have had great service... Sorry but I don't believe you L Paul...
