Re: [Scam] Supportonclick.com scareware scam

said by Dani09:

Hey, I got a call from these guys a few days back. Asked if my computer was running slow. I usually get hundreds of calls offering free trips to free cards. and I usually hang up on these.

Dunno what happened, I told these guys yes. And let me tell you, they were awesome. My computer is considerably fast now. No idea why they are called scams, but they really helped my computer gain speed, and that's what matters to me.
Scam shill finds Google entry on scam.

Scam shill joins broadband site and posts to scambusting forum in an attempt to boost same scam. This results in unintended boosting of Google page rank.

More see scam for what it is, despite efforts of scam shill to defend it.

Scam shill fails epically.

Try again, scam shill!

May be I am posting twice. I cant see my post somehow. Here it goes:

I am nervous because i have received a call from them and let them handle my antivirus issue. They have solved the problem. Have I been scammed? They have not taken money as yet and said I am on trial period.

Yes, you've been scammed. Cancel that credit card and get a new one, watch for carryover charges and alert your bank to any from this company (or others you know you didn't make, the scammers often share card data) as FRAUD.

Did you give them your credit card number or download something from a site they told you to go to?

Because if you downloaded something they recommended, it was most likely rogue security software. And if you gave them your credit card number, they'll start charging you for services you don't need, or commit outright fraud. Either way, you've most likely been scammed and had better cancel that card.

Assuming of course that you are not a shill for the company.
