Type of a scam Tech Support
I got a suspicious E-mail yesterday Oct,31 at about 4:00 pm .
It had an attachment that said I won $750,000 from Google for my G-mail account,
I called (who I thought was Google) -got the number by using Bing "Google Gmail support"
The phone number (800)334-7027 came up. I called.
The Tech asked to take control of my computer ,so I let him.
He said I had a Virus ( the Koobface virus). He said it infected my whole Network and a Virus detection program would not work. The only way to get rid of it was to have a computer network specialist work on it.
I told him ,I didn’t know any. He patched me through to MCT EXPERTS (mctexperts.com) Phone #888-889-4330
855-717-7536/ He had control of my computer without me doing anything.He told me it would cost $329.99
that I was to write a check and a FEDEX man would pick it up on Monday Nov. 2
He downloaded some freeware virus protection and did some other things (which I don’t know what they were)
and in about an hour , he called me back and said he was done.and everything was O.K.
Once I got control of computer I looked in Documents and there were two docs. which were contracts from MCT EXPERTS both signed by me….I didn’t sign anything…
I got Micro-soft to fix my computer but I don’t know whether I am obligated to pay.
