Phone call from Tech solutions requesting a payment of $399 within 48 hours of phone call or it would be billed to your credit card. Looked up tech solutions on Hilo Hawaii where the recorder showed their location, and the only ( Techknology Solutions ) phone number was different ( 808 ) 345-3256. I called and left a message about their name being used for a possible scam.

I received a message on my home phone from a man who identified himself as Shane Wilson from a company called Tech Solutions, which deals with anti-virus security. He said I would need to call him in order to get a refund of $399. for a service I never paid for in the first place. If I remember correctly, I got a similar call a few months ago.

Tech Solutions (Dennis Wilson w/cust relations) left VM saying she was going to be charged for support if she didn’t call the 203#. She said he sounded like his first language is English but she couldn’t understand him. She didn’t call back.

Caller claims that my anti-virus software will be automatically "renewed" for $399 from my bank account unless I return call to cancel my software. I have no such software and am not frightened Mr. David Thompson of Tech Solutions can withdraw any amount from my bank account without a personal check from me.

Phone message on land line. Caller stated that there would be a charge of $199 on my credit card for his services. I could cancel but it had to be within 48 hours. He gave his name as David Parker. I called back since I had no idea what he was talking about. I asked for David Parker and he said it was he. Sounded very different and foreign. He then said he would help me cancel but I should be at my computer to fill out the cancellation form. I hung up.

My computer locked up and an alarm sounded with a warning that said my computer is now locked because someone is trying to gain access to my personal information. Do not shut your computer off. Call this number immediately. I called that number and I allowed remote access in to my computer. He showed me where I had all kinds of drives disabled and they should not be disabled. He then forwarded me to a company called tech Solutions. I was given the name of Jack Iniesta at 762-222-0883 and that I could call him at any time if I thought the technician was doing something wrong. I then had to get a series of google play cards to pay them. First it was 200.00, and then they said I needed a protection plan – for life it would be 500.00. I scanned the cards and they could see them because they were remoted into my computer. the second 500.00 card was determined to be "old" as the number didn’t work. I received emails for alleged refunds to my credit card for the 200.00 and first 500.00 gift cards. then I scanned another 500.00 google play card. They also told me they would be calling me again on monday for a service check, which is in two days. I’m sure they wont be calling. I’m so stupid!

Called and said they were refunding 300.00 for tech support on a computer that she did not use in the last year and ask for account number then accessed computer to get rest of account info told her they made a mistake and deposit 3000.00 in her checking instead of 300.00 and she needed to get a money gram and send the 3000.00 back. Somehow they moved 3000.00 from savings to checking. They also ask you to email them at [email protected] so that they can email her info. And to make money gram to Berk Demirci.
THIS IS A SCAM PLEASE DO NOT GIVE ACCESS OR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIS COMPANY OR PERSONS CALLING ON THEIR BEHALF.
Luckily my mom ask how to send a money gram, so scammers did not get her money.
