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.

Sample complaints we have found for (03) 8807 0958

This company is calling from "Windows" as a company called the virtual pc doctor. They will try to convince you that your computer is "infected" then try and scam you into buying a product which will probably end up stealing your credit card number.

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?

They rany my daughter home and said they were from Virtual PC Doctor in Melbourne. As my daughter is not PC savvy she msg me while on the phone to them. my daughter has been having problems with her lap top.. slow internet etc & freezing so she thought that they could fix the problem, as they asked her if she was having any problems. to which she answered YES!!! they asked her to go to MY COMPUTER/Systems etc check some folder for warnings etc... to which there were files in there that they said were not good for the computer and they could fix the problem for her. in the mean time i had phoned her whilst she still talking to them. she then told them to call me on my mobile...they got angry with her.. but they did ring me.. I said that i would not be home til later and could i have their phone number so that i could ring when i got home. they gave me these phone numbers. (03) 8807 0958 & (03) 9999 7430 his name was HENRY with an Indian accent. this was the second person my daughter spoke to the first she could not understand. i had to keep telling Henry to speak slowly as i could not understand him very well. He got angry when i kept asking him where he was calling from and how did he get the number.. his reply was that they were ring all Windows and MAC users but still did not tell me where he got the number from. last of all he said that it would not be his problem if my computer wont work... to which i said " thank you for your concern" but i can not do anything now as i am at work!.. my daughter said that she did not give them any information but they did ask her to look at things on the computer while she was on the phone.. do you think that they could have hacked into her 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,
