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.

I got the same thing some indian person and that it has been derected around the area where we live.... they even knew where we lived (the area)... I had dile up so they gave me a number to call back and i researched the number so i will not be calling them back. i was suprised that the number was Australian because they did not sound Australian but the warning bells were going of... the guy told me his name was Dominic

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...
