Attempt to Steal Personal Info

29-Sep-2014

Scam Phone Number 01225766466, Had 2 calls today from 01225766466. security alerts from my computer!.

I have had 2 calls today from the same number 01225766466 got the first one via 1471, found it wouldn't dial back, so looked here and found all this. Thank you everyone, I wasn't taken in when I answered the second one - Asian sounding woman pretending to have had security alerts from my computer so wanting to access it "alright" ! Told her "no, all wrong - I haven't got a computer" and she rung off.

Hi Gi Gi! Nice to see you ticking off the scammer! They are after people who may not have heard of the India based Tech Support scam, yet.

It would be extremely foolish for someone to trust an unknown caller and give him access to computer. It’s as good as inviting a thief home and letting him carry out his ‘activities’, without any hindrance!

These foreign scammers are known for injecting virus into victim’s computer and completely damaging it. They will then offer to clean it, for a large Fee.

Even after the payment of Fees, users have found to their horror, that nothing has been done to remove the infections.

The error that we make when we receive such a call, is in presuming that the call is arriving from within the US and hence could probably be legit.

Don’t carried away by the local number displayed. Scammers from Asia who run call centers spoof the phone number using software, to make it appear local.
