In a
previous blog entry I described the Fix-My-Computer Dude scam. This scam and many others like it have "technicians," supposedly from Microsoft, calling to tell you that they have detected a problem on your computer. You let them on your computer, show you "problems" and then try to get you to buy a service, perhaps up to $300/year. If you balk, then some scammers will start a program that destroys the data on your hard drive. (This doesn't necessarily happen with the Fix-My-Computer group.)
Well, there is more to the story. After I published the blog entry, I got comments that extolled the virtues of "Fix-My...". Apparently, the outfit has people trolling the internet for negative comments and they try to "correct" the misconception. For your entertainment, here is a screen shot of their comments:
