A scammer sends me a virus! - Part 1

  • In the UK, this video cannot be seen because of a 'defamation' complaint raised by someone claiming to represent Micro PC Support. I am currently fighting this because the video does give an accurate representation of what I experienced on 28/03/2018. It's a pity that RUclips have sided with a scammer!
    Micro PC Support, aka TechCure, uploaded a virus to my desktop and looked at my personal emails while left on an unattended PC. This is Part 1 of this video. In Part 2, I listen to the excuses they make for their actions.
    Details of this company and related companies:
    MICRO PC SUPPORT LIMITED: beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/co...

    Their website prior to February 2018: micropcsupport.com/index.php
    The type of virus they uploaded: www.microsoft.com/en-us/wdsi/...

    When I was younger, I got a pop up with a number to call for fixin, and I got me mum and da to witness my phone call. Mum was super skeptical, me... Should have been. The scammer took control of my laptop, did a bunch of random crap, tried to sell me a "clean up service" for 300. My mum was finally like, this man's lying, hang up, and the indian dude was like Well, you dinna have to listen to her, it's your device! 🤣 She took the phone told him he's a thief and a liar, and told me shit my laptop off. I kept it off for 3 days, I was terrified of him screwing up my laptop.
    Thanks Mum for teaching your illiterate daughter about scams!!
