Frauds - Want to access my computer remotely and install virus to hack details i.e. bank etc.Dont give them access to the computer at all.

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.

This techbuddha guys are based in Kolkata India as I happened to be friend a caller who called me . he gave all his contact details in India with addresses. The base company is set to be registered in Australia though. The website is all crap and they get it remodelled again and again . This is one of the best ways to scam an indivual and take away all his personal information as credit card details and the CVV number. Please be aware of these type of scammers who rob your personal details and later use the same information to swipe your card again and again. Please check this link diversifiedtechnologiesindia.com, this is where they are calling from .

Jason here again. I thought maybe this company was not the responsable ones and it was someone else just using their service. I rang the company to advise them what had happened and the lady was a real t**t. She said well sir if you do not want the tech to remote into your PC you need to get their names and phone numbers. I said does your company tell their names when you call? And she said oh, oh im not sure. You should talk with our techs they are really helpful.
So it seems like it is this company. Dodgy as.

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
