« on: January 03, 2017, 03:07:04 pm »Lol today something hilarious happened. So lately I have been having internet problems.
Then all of a sudden I receive a call from bt main frame, indian person and in india. He said his name was jacob and he has received the warning message from my computer that I have had problem with my computer, which I did.
So he said download teamviewer and let him access, so I did he tells me to do eventvwr and cmd, in cmd type tree. He says its scanning to see whats wrong lol, I knew it was suspicious then.
So while it is listing the tree of the system, he right clicks and pastes something, I don't know wat but its listing the tree, he says on the phone tell me when its finished. After some time its finished and do you know what I see. Something along the lines of. This is what he pasted.QuoteC:\There seems to be something wrong with your rouetr. We can replace it for you free of charge. You are entitled to £205 via direct debit into your bank
So that is what he pasted. Does he really think im that stupid to see that message on the C:\ command line. He was also thinking I didn't know what I was doing, he said shall i send engineer tomorrow, I said let me think and he said its free, why think, so I hanged up and turned off laptop to stop any further activitites from him and also cos I couldn't control my mouse.
you gave them access to your computer via Teamviewer ?!?!!? WTF!!
you better hope that's all he pasted.. lmao.

WTF, this is first time it has happened to me. A tip to anyone, if you have problems and you receive a phone call even though you didn't report it then its suspicious.
bro................ of course. HEH.
I'm surprised you fell for that to begin with!! Thanks for that info though, crazy story.
Also, even if you reported something, it's usually a good idea to call them - not have them call you. There's all kinds of scams that people run.. one being, DoS someone, devices on their network, or their entire ISP & then contact customers as if they are the ISP etc. Stuff like that is pretty effective on most folks. It happens all of the time to companies.. ie, malware will infect old microsoft exchange servers.. it becomes part of a botnet, DoS's people, slows down the companies network in the process, then eventually the company receives a phone call saying they are noticing suspicious network traffic etc, but this call is originating from people associated with the attackers. They use that to gain other information (such as financial) from the company etc. It happens at every level lmao.
peace!
