Phone calls saying BB support Warning!
 
Just got a call on the BT phone saying he was my broadband support and my pc was about to crash and he would help. :confused:in his best Indian accent.

When I said yeah what bb company am I with he went through them all sky, virgin etc saying they cover them all.
He hung up when I said so do you think I'm going to switch on a computer and let someone I don't know on it remotely. :shocked:

Silence then he hung up. Be warned!!! Total ****...:mad::mad::mad::td:

There is a known scam going around... they get remote access to your PC by saying it's got a virus. :mad:

The is also the other scam were you inadvertently click a link and you get a popup asking for £50 to remove a virus as long as you enter your credit card details, never click the link as it will empty your account just as quickly.

i think i posted on here my mate was caught by it last year because they told my mate they were from microsoft tech support and my mate had been sending in error reports and he fell for it because he had been sending in error reports because Itunes kept crashing with his iphone.
