Windows Event Viewer Phishing Scam

Received a weird phone call today and found out during the call that it was a phishing scam. Just thought I'd put this out there to warn people about this scam.

I'm really scared right now, do you think my computer is safe? i didn't buy anything but told him to call back later

@NuclearKing01 It happened to me again the other day hahah, they just don't give up. It was just frightening how "professional" they were in trying to pull this off. I remember at one point during the call I was transferred to the "supervisor". Hopefully no one has been caught in this.

@KillaKung yeah i told the guy to call back later so i could ask him for a number that i could contact him at. After i got the number i was going to tell him that i reported him to the local athourities and to microsoft and windows, but he never called back.

@lilcoolj you know I'm not entirely sure but according to hi4411 it's just a dirty way that they're making money. It's been a couple days since you posted. Anything strange happening with your computer? And did they charge you for their services?

LOL I'm from the United Kingdom and I had a call today. A guy from an Indian call centre. This is the third time he's called me. But I've recorded this call and I might upload it :3 I told him after 15 minutes convo that I have a Mac.

Stephen Kung commented on 22 Mar 2012

when you say he controlled your comp and opened eventviewer did you just follow his instructions or did you allow him remote access? I'd say you were ok but there's not enough to go on... any other details you can share?

haha, just got the call, as soon as he told me to type the command I checked google,saw it was a scam, then listened to him trying to convince me it was legitimate for 10 minuits before telling him to fuck off.

Anybody who calls you up at random to do some shit on your machine is a scam unless you've called them.. It's not just when people call regarding the eventviewer.. Christ..

Happened to me today, some woman from India. I was searching the internet while she was talking to me, so I knew it was a scam when I looked it up. Just hung up on them.

Cory Bravo commented on 07 Jul 2011

Just happened to me today. Before i open eventvwr i searched it and thats how i found out its a scam . Hung up on him right away. A day after it happened to you.

Stephen Kung commented on 10 Jan 2012

@eWiz1172 hah, that's brilliant, if he was smarter he maybe could've ended the call earlier by asking how you were able to pick up the phone and use it.

Eric Bray commented on 25 Jul 2011

i googled it while i was on the phone with them... something they didnt see coming when they planned it is everybody googleing it

Dog Gone Films commented on 10 Aug 2012

I got a call from and I hung up while she told me to read how many errors are there. I'm worried that they've already got access

Kevin Canuck commented on 14 Feb 2012

This happened to me today as well. I stupidly went on Event viewer but I closed it right away. Am I safe? Please answer soon.

I got the phone call too but it was California. They told me to go to Application logs. I told them its a computer I don't care about and I am a technician so I will just delete it. As long as the service isn't free I am not doing it. Then he had the nerve to say many people use a computer then claim they are a tech. Wrong move, you are a company and you are not suppose to insult your customers. My computer been running for 7 years no problems. I deleted the log myself.

I got a call today, maybe half an hour ago. I kind of had the feeling he was not trustworthy, so I googled for "eventvwr" because that is what he told me to execute. When I told him that official microsoft sites had been telling people NOT to trust them and that microsoft never calls people.

Swodah Main commented on 09 Jul 2013

just got a call, when i said he wasn't trustworthy enough he said they would block my computer of the net, if i didn't want that to happen i should let them fix it. then i said, well i don't trust you enough so i guess you gotta do what you gotta do, then he hung up.
