855-601-0002

According to the internet search, this number belongs to a "3rd. party tech support."  Here's the web page:

If they cold called you, I'd be very suspicious.  May be part of the internet "your computer has problems" scam.  If you didn't ask for service, I wouldn't call back.

My mom called this number trying to get in touch with magic jack, they said that was the company that they were working for so she gave them permission to take control of our computer to fix the problem that we were having. They (Stephen) started going through our computer and said that we have a trojan virus that was blocking our ip address and that we needed it out. He wanted to charge us 300 to fix it and when we told him that we didnt have the money he cursed us out and said that we were wasting his time and then started to delete stuff out of our computer. NEVER ANSWER OR CALL THIS NUMBER! THEY  ARE A SCAM SCAM SCAM!!! THEY ALSO HAVE A 855 601 0003 NUMBER

You just failed your shilling 101 course.
You were caught, and it was too easy for us to do so.

If you want a retest, give us the name, physical location and website of that "genius computer fixer".

And, I see somebody is upvoting your post.  Even more suspicious!

>> she gave them permission to take control of our computer <<

Since the scammer accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised the ID
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
8.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you
9.  Plug in the computer only AFTER all the above have been done
10.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and chance your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

You fell for one scam, and might be susceptible to others mentioned on this site:

Honest computer companies do NOT cold-call people to tell them their computers need fixing!

Hello shill,
May I assume you are the registered user who upvotes other shills' posts?

the techbasehelp Domain was created on 6/17/2014 ... only two months ago
the Domain expires on 6/17/2015, less than a year from now, so the creator does not have much faith in it.

Oh ... guess what?
Registrant Street: badarpur  
Registrant City: delhi, India

Why should somebody supposedly in Ohio register their site from India?

We thought most of those "your computer is infected" scams came from Pakistan or India ... now we have proof of at least one.




Do you wish to give us more information, or do you merely want to post disinformation?

My name says it all - WOW a REGISTERED shill!!  You are a liar - as are the other shills in this thread.

In other news, no one believes your fairy tale.  Maybe you should write a children's book?!

I haven't mentioned lately El, Alska!
Slim, you never cease to amaze me. Seriously.
My deepest respect to both of you.
Gunnar

Hi Gunnar!

Thanks!

It just happens, I am sitting here listening to Willie Nelson ... and the song that he is singing now has the words:
"We don't run, we don't compromise
We don't quit, we never do"

I think you subscribe to that sentiment as well!

"The guys are magicians."  Yes they are, they will make you money disappear in a flash and you will have nothing to show for it.  And they only thing wrong with you Magic Jack was that you were cut off for stealing from honest Americans and they then made you go out and buy a new one.  Win-win for them.

That's nice because.......We'd like to give an extra "thank you" to you for providing the entertainment tonight.

Did you really think anyone would believe this laughable attempt at shilling ?

Temporary solutions ? Uh-huh. We all pay our computer techs for temporary solutions these days. *sarcasm*

The solution has been fixed ? What, it wasn't good enough the first time ? Or maybe that was a slip of the tongue and what you really meant was "My computer was so jacked after the so-called solution that the only option was to take it outside and smash it with a hammer. "

Is this the company "Jayden"?  http://techbasehelp.us/contact_us.html  That would be the company with no BBB page, no Bizapedia page, and no registration in Ohio, would that be correct Jayden"?

Oh and according to their web site, here is company headquarters:  https://www.google.com/maps/@39.325345,-84.38 ... O7RT3Y97fgA!2e0

Please go away Shellie - you are obnoxious and not contributing anything worthwhile to this site!
Guess your next number will be 855-601-0004?

Received a pc from a person (male) with a strong middle eastern accent. He said he was from Windows and that he was receiving messages that my computer was in jeopardy. I asked him some questions and he adamantly said several times M'am I trying to tell you there's something wrong with your computer and I want to fix it. I asked for his # and called him back. He picked up my return call then same ole I want to fix your computer. So that's when I looked up his #. Glad I did! It bothers my elderly mom when people like this call and it makes me mad that people upset her when she's trying to rest 😡

Says he's from Windows.  Sounds Indian.  Calling to fix computer. .... yeah, the same old scam.  I get tons of these calls.
Ridiculous!
Last one said they were from MacaFee.
I wish we could put an end to this BS.

Just received a call after 10:00 PM this evening from this number. Person calling had a foreign accent (Indian) and alerted me that my computer was sending error signals. Assuming it was a scam, I asked for their phone number and then googled it on my NON-INFECTED computer. Thanks for operating this site.

calling our number over and over says" windows is sending them a msg that our computer has been hacked into and they want to help us fix it" And, they do sound like they are from india
