A man with thick Indian accent telling me that something is wrong with my computer. I could barely understand him. This is one of those tech support scams from Indian. They want to pretend you have a virus to make you allow them to install spyware and bill you hundreds of dollars.

Same here, I played along. I wanted to see what they would try to pull. He had me open msconfig, said look at all of those services that are stopped.. that's because of spyware. Then wanted me to go to a couple web sites that were for remote assistance. Something like 121usahelp and tcchat.

I told him my firewall was blocking the sites, and gave him the run around and hung up. He called back a few hours later and said "f you" and hung up.

Same here, yesterday the guy called (indian accent as well) pretending some king of unwanted process was going on with my internet access. He asked if i sometime visit google or facebook! The guy said he was from microsoft support and he asked me to visit http://www.121usahelp.com/ and to download the file so that the problem is fixed, but my anti-virus blocked it and i refused to go further. Hang up!

Today, again, same number, i hanged up automatically and the guy called back 8 times till I told him to stop calling and that my baby was trying to take a f***** nap, I had to remove the battery from the phone so that he stop...

Same problem as the rest that have complained. A man with an Indian accent telling me I had to go to my computer immediately and he would help me because if I didn't my computer would crash because it was badly infected with a virus. I asked who he was and had no time and he hung up.

Phone number not displayed but same kind of demand. A woman with indian accent 'calling from California' ask me to connect to www.121usahelp.com. She refused hardly to send me an email so that I can read it on a smartphone and trust her. She tryed 30 minutes long to convice me clicking on 'CONNECT TO TECHNICIAN' button whose link is actually Teamviewer download. I guess somebody wanted to take control of my computer !

A guy with a strong foreign accent called me on my cell and claimed he was from Microsoft Support. I recognized the scam immediately and played along with him, making him repeat and speak slower so I could understand him. After keeping him on the line for over half an hour I finally told him I was really confused, and that my Apple didn't have that key. I then explained that I was using the "PC Side" of my Apple computer running OS-10, and what he was telling me didn't make sense. He hung up. Oh, yeah. I'm the IT Director for one of the largest data corporations in the country. I just love playing games with these idiots when I have time.

I see a lot of you asking how can we stop this? We can't!! Simply educate yourself on the tools you use and depend on (I'm referring to your computer here).

I was on my landline phone for almost an hour - the lady with a thick accent in a call center - probably in Singapore, kept telling me about how she worked for the government - cyber crime unit - and they were after criminals who were using my computer for their own porn or money laundering business - and tried to convince me by taking me into the admin part of my computer and using the event viewer (I had never seen this part of my computer) to show me how many error and warning messages I had been receiving ...supposedly many from their office ...and then she wanted me to go to the www.121usahelp.com and I was very suspicious all along as she would never give me a contact number nor the name of her office - she eventually told me to put her on hold and check with the dept of justice myself, and she even gave me the number - but no government agency is that easy to get answers from, but as I didn't have a 'hold' on my landline phone, I told her I'd check and she could call me back later

it was then she said that it wasn't her job, that instead she'd just say I wasn't cooperating with her and send my file on up to the department that issue a warrant for my computer being used for illegal activities - and that I'd be faced with $8000 fine and possible jail time - after a little yelling back and forth, I hung up to check on things - and I was correct, you can't talk to the people at the department of justice: cyber crime division ...and perusing the net, I found this site ...and I'm telling you what happened ...at least so far.
