Same thing just happened to me! A guy with a VERY heavy Indian accent called. My "Windows Operating System" was infected, and for that matter, all computers in the house using the same router were infected as well. I was suspicious from the very beginning and asked many questions. He had me log onto "eventvwr" and showed me all the warnings. He then asked me to log into www.remote123.org which is where I called him on his bluff and told him I was not comfortable with the call any longer. I asked for a call back number (which he gave, 201-285-2011), and told him I would call my prepaid PC support instead. He got really pushy and offered for me to speak with his manager. I called PC support.....this is a huge scam! When I called the 201 number back to let him have it, there was no answer. I hung up and moments later got a return call "from the computer department" that they had missed my call. What in the world? These guys are a total joke. I told him to get a life and stop ripping people off. [***]!
