They masquerade like they are a legitimate company, they will get you to download LogMeInRescue software, so they can take control of your PC. Don’t let them into your PC, if you want legitimate protection, get Norton or something. They have set up an alert on her computer and embedded their phone number onto the taskbar. When they spoke with her, they also provided another number: 08081699973, which should also be considered dodgy.

These guys have my mother in law convinced she was getting software protection. They uploaded some dodgy software and flashed porn onto her screen, this number pops up and gets her to call… so they can extort money.

My elderly mum was scammed out of £500 after clicking on a link that made her computer 'go crazy'. This number popped up as a way to fix the issue - it went through to Cyber-xone.com. They logged onto her computer and installed a Trojan and Spyware. Then charged her $600 over the phone for lifetime computer support. Obviously it was all a scam.
