Microsoft have nothing in play telling you to call them or would call you out of the blue. Only time anyone is to talk with Microsoft support is if you call them by using their real number by looking it up on their website. lil note, you'll never speak to someone from Indian.

[@wysetech2000]

Good info, Brian.

[@nick92065]

Thank you for keeping the community aware of these scammers. Great video as always.

[@Britec09]

Cheers Nick

[@AnthonyKlun]

*All the dislikes are from Rajesh and his call centre buddies*

[@BertGrink]

Haha yeah I thought the same - except he CALLS himself John or Steve.

[@lanceripplinger8352]

The scammer page is so full of misspellings, etc., that alone should cause people to red flag it. For all the time these losers spend trying to scam people out of money, they could have done something productive with their lives like getting a real damn job.

[@Britec09]

I agree

[@suzycreamcheesez4371]

well said

[@BertGrink]

At 1:23 I thought to myself "DOH of COURSE I have porn on my computer, I download it myself, silly!" lol

[@stevebrauch8327]

Great video Britec. I agree these people are wasting every ones time and I won't wast my time with them. Glad you gave this video and the other one for people to see what's going on in the scamming world today.

[@billleatherland1285]

Thanks Brian for highlighting this.

[@Britec09]

You're welcome.

[@hrtvfan2870]

0-800 number? Between this and the WinDAWS typo; that would seem to be enough to raise red flags in my head.

[@BonziBUDDY]

Why hasn't there ever been worldwide news stories about these scams?

[@NancyLynn]

Awww, thanks Brian! I so appreciate these videos because I do not know very much about these types of scams and it always worries me as I heard some horrible stories about friends that have been scammed. I am part of the older gen and although I do not know much about the tech world, I do try to educate myself on these types of issues. Your a sweetie...cheers!

[@geojohnson5613]

Thanks for the heads up Brian. Good information.

[@Britec09]

You're welcome.

[@anagraphical_angel]

Thanks mate, I'll keep an eye out for this. Love your videos btw!

[@Britec09]

Cheers mate.

[@Pyridox]

Thanks for the information, and letting people know about this. Friends of mine, who are pensioners, fell for this scam recently.

[@Britec09]

Its not nice and if everyone shares the video, more people will see and less people will get scammed.

[@BertGrink]

It really irks me that they go after older people like myself (i'm 65) just because they assume we don't know anything about computers - well in most cases that is probably correct, but luckily I know enough to realise when it's a scam. 'whew'

[@Pyridox]

@@BertGrink Yes, it's a shame. My brother, he is 67, and he fell for the scam. He happened to be having some issue with his laptop at the time. They got around $500 US from him over the course of a few months, before he realized he got scammed.

[@BertGrink]

Pete Cialella I am sorry to hear that.

[@RIPUZI]

Cheers Brian! Thanks again for your work

[@Britec09]

I enjoy doing them.

[@mwolfer1]

The only thing that gives the scam away at the surface is the fact that Windows is misspelled in the pop-up. Microsoft must address this by quickly. Thanks!

[@Britec09]

Yeah, but some have correct spelling

[@mwolfer1]

@gilkesisking I always read 'Windoze'

[@DOVAHKIIN1]

TEAM VIEWER is another example of letting anyone into your system where no one should actually be! Your PC is your kingdom and no one should be let into your kingdom! Privacy is very important cuz no one has the right to interfere with anyone's life at all for any means!

[@zx8401ztv]

Thanks Brian :-D I've used the ctrl alt del to bring up anvir task manager, so to kill a locked internet browser, its quicker than fighting with java based junk. Commodo killswitch is good too :-D

[@Britec09]

Yeah very easy to kill the process, dirty scumbag piss me right off. My mum gets calls all the time and she don't even have a computer lol

[@GSLevel]

Thank you! 😀

[@terrymcgill43]

Very useful information Brian, I'm going to share this one Facebook. Well done.

[@Britec09]

You're welcome and thanks for sharing.

[@terrymcgill43]

@@Britec09 You welcome, anything to stop these scammers.

[@Britec09]

I agree

[@abhroy]

Nice post . Thanks Brian . The remote connection tab comes with multiple GUI tickbox options -- there is a BIG reason for that . Do people explore that ? NO ! Care to know ? Heck NO !! And then , there came Android apps with selectable permission details and background data connections !! Same questions and same answers . Bollocks !!

[@Britec09]

lol

[@J.F.K.O]

Britec im having a problem that you might be able to help me with. i got a laptop from my brother because he forgot the hard drive password. now im not interested in the files on the drive. but i would like to format the drive and reuse it. only problem is if i connect it to the laptop it goes directly to the password. and i cant even access the bios. if i connect it internally on my desktop it does the same. so i've bought a usb harddrive enclosure. so the problem is. it shows up in my device manager as a usb storage device. but not in the disk management or in my pc. ive also tried searching for it in commands but i'ts still not showing up. and sugestions?

[@RootTheLucario]

I would’ve thought people would stop falling for it before 2022 but apparently not

[@ScenicFox]

Brian : Did you Also notice the mis-spelt spelling of Windows on the first pop up. It was Spelt as "Windaws"

[@Britec09]

lol I never noticed that lol quality

[@B10HAZARD.]

Lol, What are the scores, George winDaws. ...i bet no one get's that quote.

[@ValdezJu]

I used to get pop-ups like this before I added uBlock Origin and I think Firefox Quantum 63.0 also prevents this type of pop-up. Thanks Britec09! 💯

[@johnsenchakinternetsecurit8935]

They are also in Jamaica ! The best way to stop that browser pop-up is go to settings and disable java-script , restart browser , then go back and re-enable it Bye for now Cheers

[@Britec09]

Yeah its a global thing now and not just India.

[@shelly3151965]

Thanks so much for this video will let my friends and family know for sure

[@valtoc5164]

What programm are you calling india scammer

[@TheMEBITCHLOL]

thank you so much for this i had one saying my ip address is compromised and that my computer was locked up i tried finding the direct contact number from my phone i didnt click on links i tried to close and on my phone it said about stopping program etc i was so worried it looks so possible only thing that made me think was the number and dodgy voice but this video helped me know i done the right thing i found the cntl shift esc buttons to shut down laptop and then i went to update and on my windows defender it had 2 triangles of risks so i switched those things on hoping thats it but its so scary

[@CharlesEBright]

Ethical hackers need to be hired by Google, Apple and Microsoft to destroy them.

[@larrydavis2817]

Britec Can you update your toolwiz time freeze video?

[@Britec09]

I can certainly take a look

[@wallybe2946]

[@williamlinington9166]

The dislikes on this video, must be scammers.

[@Britec09]

Yeah, I do have a regular dislike fan club, gives them something to do and makes them feel like the bringing me down lol bless em

[@ASBlondontravel]

Thanks for the information I have shared your video let athers now

[@Britec09]

Thanks

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

Brian, if you ring their number, do you get to talk with the scammer or is it a robot voice on the other end? If it's the scammer I'm going to chew his ears off! I got one of these the other day, and they are getting better, but you would think that they would use a spellchecker on the documented pages on their websites.

[@Britec09]

You will get a person from India, UK, USA etc this is a epidermic which is scamming people out of a lot of money, some channels keep saying India, but some call centers are in UK and USA.

[@ldjtje]

You always give good information my friend. I am happy i found your channel. Thank you for your work.

[@Britec09]

You're welcome.

[@jackd6134]

I did fall for this but quickly recognized the scam and shut it down. I would love a video on how to get back at these guys. I know avoidance is the best method, but possible to scam the scammer?

[@Britec09]

Calling scammers and playing silly buggers with them is not solving the problem.

[@calmac3723]

Nice One. It might be an idea to show how microsoft do interact and connect via their site? I did it recently, well I hope it was them! No phone number to call, no code to enter just accepted remote assistance, the operative did keep on asking for my phone number just in case we got disconnected - but I wouldn't give it, I did get a confirmation E-mail from Microsoft Customer support afterwards too. 👌 I couldn't tell their accent by their typing - it wasn't a scam was it?? 😁

[@ianarbery9601]

if is a scam the first they try to scare you by this from the run box they cmd then they type cd\ cd\ cd\ to get to the root of the drive then they type tree the tree cmd is a log file which shows what you have on drive nothing else but they will type in while it is listing you have hackers malware and viruses on your machine which is wrongif they do this shut down your computer or pull the telephone line to your computer as they are doing things in the background on your machine take care when you get any faults on your computer

[@Britec09]

They will connect the same way as a scammer would, by logmein rescue

[@patrickcadette]

[@Luke4Smith]

easy way to get rid of the scare mongering message control alt delete then task manager then end task on your browser then just to be sure run a antivirus scan mum had something like this on her pc so thats what i did to get rid of it

[@Britec09]

That's right, very easy to close, but some people panic and call the number.

[@MaskedGEEK]

Sneaknie little hobbitsies. The dirty thiefsss. They won't take my precious. Once again that initial website with the fake-as-all-balls security warning should be the key to say "hold up. this is a wrong 'un"

[@lumarlee6093]

Does “logmeinrescue.com” and Microsoft know that their business reputations are being tarnished by these scammers? It seems that they would have the resources to track down anybody trying to destroy their business. :

[@JohnJohn-ts6ux]

Thanks for the information Brian and many thanks from you keep it up as always. these scammers hopefully they lock them up for good one day all of them, Brian maybe you should ring them up and play a little game with them pretending you are infected just be on the phone for half an hour or so and then tell them that you called them that you, you are a scammer and say that you are really big liar ,can you ring them up one day that be good that be fun to watch on KZbin😁😂😂😂

[@Britec09]

I would if i had the time John, not sure it really solves the problem messing with them.

[@jazzyminz]

Sooo basically if I get the tech support page do I just X out and ignore it xD I did.. I just feel like I should still get my laptop check Sorry for asking I’m slightly lost and new to laptops :0

[@gabrieldelacruz1321]

id never trust anyone connecting to my pc but WHY DOES THAT URL LOOK LEGITIMATE THATS SCARY, I NEED ANSWERS :P

[@radiolinux45]

I agree with Microsoft do not contact you unless you contact first. ?That why I Use Linux OS

[@Britec09]

Microsoft will never call you, even if you pirate there software they will never call you.

[@MrSamadolfo]
