Hi everyone,
this a warning for everyone, I got off very lucky today, it's only lucky I have experience and spotted the
scammers.
I downloaded and paid for a legit software from Remo Outlook migrate & backup
it didn't work properly and I logged in to the help and got a ticket
later I was sent an Email to click here and downloaded some desktop control software ( that is just bolded not the link )
it was then suddenly after putting in the code they took control, but it seemed strange they were messing around and opened note pad typing and asked for my phone number I still thought it was Remo but soon realized they were Indian Scammers.
they nearly caught me with the syskey trick but lucky I pulled the ethernet out before they enabled it
I got caught so it can happen to anyone.
My question is how can one protect from syskey scam for the future can it be removed / disabled ?? btw where is spell checker ?
my spelling is embarrassing :-)
Thank you I have a red face but got away with it I want to help others avoid getting scammed
