Lol!! Indian scammers....
I just received a phone call from a guy named "Dave" with a seriously strong indian accent, in a noise room with at least 50 or so other indian guys named Dave, telling me he was technical support from Microsoft and that they had "detected" that my computer had a bad virus.
I played along to learn what the scam was.
He told me to press the Windows key + the R key to bring up "Run" in windows and got me to launch the windows event viewer. He then told me to scroll through the applications to find any with a "RED X ERROR" or "YELLOW: WARNING" message. Sure enough there were a few but these of course are only windows errors that mean nothing special.
Indian "Dave" told me they were infected files and that I was in big trouble of losing all of my data and infecting other computers, and that I needed to fix it right away before being arrested. Oh noes!
He tried to get me to run a few different programs that would give him access to my computer and to go to a few different websites but I kept telling him that Norton was blocking me from doing anything. He got more and more frustrated but I didn't want him to stop, so I kept thanking him for all of the viruses he was making me find.
In the end he asked me to go to a website which I did not go to of course, but instead I decided to Google the name. Try Googling "Fastsupport scam" to learn more.
Anyway, DAVE, If you're reading this, Go Fuck Yourself! For anyone else with friends or relatives who may be a little slow on the up-tick, warn them not to accept calls from Indians who call themselves Dave.
