On Saturday 14 April, I was telephoned (I have no idea how they got my telephone number) by LivePCSolutions (although I do not recall them giving me this name, this is the name they are using to try and get me to pay them via Nacho.org) informing me that they were employed by/affliates of Microsoft and were receiving too many error messages from my computor, and they needed to clear them, they asked me to go to a program situated in the bottom hand left of my laptop and open it. They claimed they were from India.
A window then opened and hundreds and hundreds of lines appeared some with yellow triangles (they asked me to count these) and some with red exlamations marks.
I was totally panicked, as I had already paid out twice to have my computer de wormed, de trojan horsed and de virused, totallying $255.00.
I gave them my credit card and they charged me $399. I then asked them to send me a report of all the viruses they found at which time they started to vacilate and I became suspicious.
I called my bank and they stopped payment.
Since then the companies I have listed have contacted me by email several times trying to get me to pay them.
I shall be reporting the fraud to the police. And to the Better Business Bureau
There are various IP addresses in all of the documents I have printed out. I have now deleted all emails from the various companies.
They also gave me a 718 telephone number, which I cannot currently find, but have not thrown away. Anyway, when I called it, it was not an active number.
