got remote access to my computer.

You REALLY need to read and heed my earlier post, dated 8 Feb 2015

i paid. quite a bit of money. it was a phishing scam, where they pose as legitimate help. The lesson definitely is just take the computer to the shop.

Was trying to get Norton virus protection on laptop  and somehow this guys showed up   Yep I fell for scam!!!!!! They got me for 199.99!!!! I gave them my ss# and everything they asked for.   Then the next day I was thinking that something didn't seem right so I called Norton.   And they said that was probably a scam cause they don't charge that much don't work with that company    NOW WHAT SHOULD I DO? did they just get me for my money? tHEY EVEN HAVE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER!!! Help!!!!!!

Norton and McAfee have not fixed this. I just went through a bogus support call from 800-616-5160 today 7/9/16 !!

Ever stop to think Norton, McAfee etc DON'T COLD CALL?

A caller claiming to be connected with Norton Security had a chat box that asked me to list my name and phone number to receive assistance with a glich with Norton security program. They eventually said they were a support company associated with Symantec.

browser error reported, technician wanted to chat about my problem called me from 800-616-5160 claimed to be from norton and can fix problem for 150.00 this is a scam.   chat window said norton and securesafe. crooks

I did not answer call. They left message on my cell phone.  A man with Indian accent claimed to be calling me back from Verizon tech support. i didint ask for verizon tech support.  Probably scam

Same happened with me.. loosers 😠

they tried to get me about 1 hr ago but I had no money so they didn't bother

i still have to get it fixed though,I am sure

I thought I was talking with Norton support. A chat room opened up from "Dave". He had me enter my phone#. Next he called me and had me on and off the phone for 7 hrs to repair my pc. Luckily I never paid him. But he had access to my computer. He reset it to factory and deleted my antivirus and replaced with McAfee.

I had the same thing. A window popped up to chat with a technician on the Apple Support page that would automatically open after I got a virus on my Macbook Air. I was connected to a guy named Chris who called me from this number. He claimed he was living in Virginia but from Dehli. He only said this after I wrongly gave him remote access to my laptop, though, to "diagnose" it and he noticed folders on my desktop in Hindi and the photos of my partner. He took total advantage of the perceived commonality between him and my partner to keep me on the line while trying to sell the anti-virus software. When I wasn't immediately acquiescing, he became overtly pushy about it and I hung up. He claimed to have given me his apple ID number and extension at this 800 number. I wiped and reformatted my laptop on my own after that. Has anyone tried to call it since just to see what would happen? Or lodged a complaint with the company they were pretending to operate under?
