Many of you have probably heard of this.
We are receiving calls from an "Indian support centre" who tells us we have a dangerous virus that is going to wreck our computer and that they need to access it to repair it. Today my daughter was home alone and they askerd her to log in so that they could repair it. She said that she would have to phone me and I refused to give her any access codes at which point the man got very abusive and told her that it would be her fault if I lost all my data and that she would be in a lot of trouble.
Having researched this they apparently ask you to open an event log, which shows a lot of faults that they ask you to list and will say "that's the one". They will give you a link to a site and charge you for repairs, however this gives them complete control over the computer and any data - card numbers etc.
Bad enough that they are trying to scam you, but worse using pressure on a child with the threat of trouble from her parents. I would love to meet this call centre "agent" face to face.
