onlinepcsolutions scam

[Gord]

Just had a call from the scammers at onlinepcsolutions.com.
For anyone who is not aware, they claim to have reports of a virus on your pc & try to get you to go to their website where they will attempt to get paid for fixing it.
Tell tale signs:
Indian accent.
Claims to be associated with Microsoft or your ISP.
Claims they have detected a serious virus on your computer.
Wants you to go to their website.( don't do this ).

Anyhooo ... Kept him hanging around on the line for ages & eventually suggested he got a proper job.
I was a particularly disappointed at the poor quality of abuse I recieved, he seemed to have no answers to my various job suggestions ( Can't go into detail, but elephants, circuses and You Tube were involved ).

Lol, they hung up when I said I was using Ubuntu

 

[DataSafeServices]

Thanks for the heads up. Not that i (or we) would be taken in, just that it gives us time to prepare some more suggestions for alternative employment!

I'd be very interested to hear their answer as to just HOW they have received reports of a virus on my PC.

They will probably get you to have a look at the event viewer under administrative tools within control panel.

They will try to convince you that the error messages contained within are serious and that it's those that are being 'transmitted'

O yes that would be funny - I wish these people would call me up

I'd be very interested to hear their answer as to just HOW they have received reports of a virus on my PC.

Just to clarify this is their official website: www.online-pcsolutions.com

Looks like this has been going for a while: http://whocallsme.com/Phone-Number.aspx/4696756068

We received a call a few months ago on the weekend on our hone line! Very deceptive and we asked lots of questions and they eventually hung up when they could not get anywhere.
