A scam company that currently goes by the name techbuddha.  Go see their legitimate looking website at www.techbuddha.com.  They also have bogus facebook, twitter and linked-in accounts.  They called me from Canada but have scammers is a couple of other countries including the US and UK.They get you to a website that you download an executable that you execute and let them remotely control your computer.  They then copy 'scanner' software to your desktop where they execute it.  The software reports many problems that they then encourage you to 'fix' buy paying them a one time only 179.99.  (Don't worry, it's not expensive.  You can install their 'fix' software on all of your computers!)I wish I could choose 'commit fraud' from the call type for this number.

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

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

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.
