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

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 just received a call from this number also. Same story. Indian woman claiming to be from Windows and saying they'd detected malicious virus on our computer. Tried to get us to go to Start > Run then type in some stuff. Refused and when calling back the number told them they were being investigated for fraud. Eventually was passed on by two different women claiming to be from Windows and got a man on the line who said I'd called a restaurant. Hung up when I told him the previous two people I'd spoken to had claimed to be from Windows.

PS. Forgot to say I have had about 6 calls from these guys now... Have tried a few different tactics... From politely hanging up to rudely hanging up...Have pretended to go along for a while and then when bored tell them.."sorry guys I haven't been following any of your instructions.. I've been scamming u like u were trying to do to me"... I have also handed the phone over to my 2 year old for a chat..(I couldn't believe she was still on the line after 5 min with my 2 year old)...also they claim they are from Melbourne and can give u addresses and numbers... I'm not even familiar with Melbourne ... But I know footy teams.. I asked them what footy team they like?  They didn't know what footy was and then hung up?  Yay!! Finally!!

I'm from Adelaide and we got this call too! WTF??

sounds heaps dodgy to me.

same again here! We were on to them straight up and hung up..... only to get a call back in which i politely informed them to send the details in an email they should have my address and hung up! only to get another call straight away and my dad got the s**ts and told them to F%&k OFF!!!!! and still again they rang back! i then explained to them that we only run Mac on our network and we have no PC running windows...... he was lost for words and they havent called back...... dodgy F$%KERS!

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,
