I received a call from these guys and like you, i thought i would let him have his say. I feel stupid now because i let him get as far as to gain access to my computer- he was able to move my mouse and type etc. He downloaded an anti-virus program and then wanted me to pay $300 for it, which i refused. He said he would send me an applicatrion form to filll out, which i also refused and eventually hung up. I am wondering now what i should do to pprotect my secrity- and how much access he could have gained? I changed my bank account passwords, on another computer but do not know if this is enough? Any information wouyld be helpful- thanks DW

Hello Jason here from Australia. These people were calling me everyday but I kept on saying that I am not 18 and I dont have a PC and they then hang up. They called and spoke to my mother one day and she said I will just write all this down and ask my son and they hung up on her lol. So anyways I had another phone call from some Indian just today and I thought I will let him have his say and he sent me to this website aswell. I am a computer technician. I just let him think he had me lol.. They sent me into the Event Viewer on my PC and got me to look at the errors and told me that they are all worms and viruses. The guy said I will pass you to our advanced technician to help you and they didnt transfer the call.. they just passed the phone to the other guy lol. Then the "Advanced Tech" said he needs to put a stop to it from the domain.. I got up to the part where they want to remote into your PC and I said I dont need this, the guy said "its not a matter of need sir, you have to get rid of these viruses and we will help". I said well I am actually a computer technician and I know exactly what the error logs are and what you are trying to do and he shat himself and started stumbling on his words and rustled the phone around a bit and then hung up LOL.
I hope people stay alert from these scammers
Tech Budda Scam
I got a call from this number. "Mark Goodson" with a heavy Indian accent spoke with me and fed me a load of trash about the company. Instead of snapping on the guy, I was nice to him so I could get as much info as possible from him. He directed me to techbuddha.com which I will not even visit. The number he gave was (905) 667-5558. Don't give these guys anything. I hope the authorities are on this case. It disturbs me that someone would be stunned enough to provide these people with anything other than a "No" or "leave me the bleep alone!" Good luck.

They called me last night and said they looked in my computer and that it was infected. I replied "amazing, and what operating system was my system running when you looked in it?"He replied. "Windows and it is infected. We looked in it."I replied "so my Mac is running windows? Didn't do a very good job looking around did you?"Then I hung up.

I have had dealings with these thieves in the past. They rang my house in Wellington New Zealand and got me when I was sick. I was scammed!!Yesterday though, 5 April 2012, they rang my parents where I happened to be visiting. (Foxton New Zealand). My Mum didn't know about them but I did so spoke to them.They reckoned they had an office in Wellington NZ. I told him to go back to India on the 1st plane and not to ring back again. They are total scammers and I have reported them to the police but dont know what they would actually do about it.There are too many of these sort of people around unfortunately. UNLESS IT IS YOUR OWN INTERNET PROVIDER, EG. TELECOM, COMPASS, SLINGSHOT ETC. IN OTHER WORDS = THE ONE YOU PAY EVERY MONTH...... DO NOT LET THEM INTO YOUR COMPUTER.....SCAMMERS!!!!
tech buhda - what a joke.
Ya I did the "be nice" thing and tried to get info like, who hired "Tech Budha" to look after my devices on the internet. Since they try to convince you that "they want to advise you of a widespread "Windows" problem, I also asked if he was also going to call everyone on the planet running Windows LOLThen I looked at their spiffy website, and contact info where nobody answers the phone.This has scam all over it and its sad that some people will believe their computers are generating tens of thousands of errors. LOL, and if it was, do ya not think Windows would let us know?Now I in no uncertain terms just tell them to F$%& right off.
