MyPhoneSupport- The end is NOT CLOSE

So, I was working to close myphonesupport.com and absolutley nothing has been done. I have conatcted Apple, Microsoft, Google, Facebook and GoDaddy. And there has been no action taken. We need to start getting their attention. Anyone that could spam call their number 1-855-698-3241, spam their email, [email protected] and conatct Google’s phishing service.

@NisForNanoCore#27215 I shall continue the fight in getting MyPhoneSupport taken down! They are a despicable group of scammers that NEEDS TO GO!!!

Do these scammer hosting a website? if yes, please share. I will try and help to get them down - wpx

@wpx#27258 they have myphonesupport.com. I have contacted their hosting provider, Microsoft, Google, Apple, action fraud, Facebook. And nothing. All their accounts remain active

@wpx#27258 these two sites myphonesupport.com and www.quatrro.com

Their call center is in Gurgaon (near New Delhi airport), India

So, I just downloaded their website and found a folder called d, inside was a folder called 2.2 and in there was an install my phone support app. I ran it on virus total and get a 5/68 detection for adware, that result can be found here: VirusTotal

@drwat#27314 Thanks for your reply Indian scammers aye :smiley:

You are wasting your time fighting Indian scammers as they are outside the US jurisdiction. There was an American owner listed in the court documents, but I know Thunder has probably done as much as he can to squash any action from him. It is best to focus on US scammers and lead generators, who appear legit, bypass FTC regulation, and plague our phone lines everyday. Identified American scammers can be reported to local and federal authorities and civil action can be taken. And if not we expose the government and media corruption that condones the business practices.

@myjackcity#27558 even if we can waste their time. Then I feel happy. If I can block communication to real victims. Them I am happy. Even if we cannot shut down the scam. Delaying it is still a success to me.

That’s fine. Just keep in mind that the industry in India is massive. They have scammers who are paid to talk to you and waste your time. You will have a greater impact on helping people and preventing scam phone calls by going after American scammers.

@myjackcity#27566 True. I do think though that even making people aware of how to spot a scam, fake technical support etc is equally important as preventing scammere calling victims.

I will be making a guide on how to avoid these scams and looking to publish it around on my YouTube channel, my discord server etc and get them to spread it around, so if we can get the message out of how to spot these scams, then less people will call the scammers.

A project like that would make a difference. But then. Getting people to read it, understanding it.

The best target for spreading a guide like that would be the young and elderly care.

I don’t have much sympathy for victims of tech support scams. If you are naïve enough to fall for them, you should not be using a computer or surfing online. American scammers are far more insidious. They appear legit, claim to be linked to major corporations, target students in debt, struggling small businesses, offer believable vacation deals, reduced credit rates, affordable health insurance, and alternative power companies. These scammers take advantage of people’s greatest fears and insecurities. They call everyday to the point of harassment. By all means go ahead and publish what is already known about tech support scammers and what a joke they are. Make sure your grandma is safe online. Meanwhile, every time I post an American scammer number to this site, scambaiters who claim to be educated on these matters question whether they are a scam or not. So why not focus on educating all people - young students, home owners, business owners, retirees, and scambaiters - about the variety and source of the calls they receive everyday?

@myjackcity#27573 What about those elderly people, who have no idea about such scams? They probably haven’t used computers for a long time and they will do anything they can do to fix an issue due to lack of knowledge.

The reason I say young and elderly as these are the most targeted group according to many sources.
It is a bit outrages to say you have little sympathy for them. I understand that you think people who fall for them are uneducated. But, like I say, people that do not know all about what computers can do, good and bad, it is a real problem, so I would say that awareness is a big issue

@myjackcity#27566 technically Joe Bursky is an american scammer. Hes the leader…along with Raman Roy. It’s possible to take the site down.

“There was an American owner listed in the court documents, but I know Thunder has probably done as much as he can to squash any action from him.” I acknowledged the American player in this. He filed the lawsuit.

Do you know what a problem is? Daily calls to cell phones and land lines from American scammers who spoof their numbers. It is a constant bombardment and distraction for people who are waiting for doctors calls, family calls, and business calls. Tech support scammers are not the ones responsible for these. I get a tech support scammer about once a month on my land line, not a big deal and very easy to recognize and avoid.

You are the one being offensive to the elderly. They can figure out most things just fine... they even have a lot of time to learn, being retired and all. If an elderly person is using a computer and does not understand the risk of being online, then maybe they have not learned anything during the 65 years on this earth. You can't fix stupid. Take care of the folks in your community. What makes you think they are tech savvy enough to find your ramblings online and on youtube?

@myjackcity#27578 How am i being offensive. It is a problem that is obvious and I Am NOT saying all elderly people are dumb and do not know a thing. For you to say you have little sympathy is probably more disrespectful than stating the obvious.

Also, just by spreading messages around, telling people to make it clearer to their families.
We can't sit here and not try and do something

You are inferring that the elderly need to be saved from tech support scammers because they don’t know any better. That’s awesome that you want to save them all. I am trying to convey to you that there is a more widespread and dangerous problem out there that does need your attention and warrant more education directed towards everyone.

Let's talk about how this problem effects elderly and just about anyone else:

Old people have a lot of doctor appointments right? American scammers spoof their numbers to appear local. We are told, do not answer phone calls from numbers we don't recognize. An old person ignores the call. It was a local doctor's office with test results, appointment confirmation, or news about his wife in the hospital. Now he has to listen to the voicemail and play phone tag. What if he receives a scam call and looks at his phone while driving and crashes?

Have you ever talked to an elderly relative and asked what their biggest problems are?

@myjackcity#27580 No, quite frankly, my elderly relatives are concerned over the matter. I am not saying all elderly people do not know. I also acknowledge there are other scams, but always target people with less understanding of the topic. Not everyone knows what scambaiters know.

Do you understand that all of these different scams originate from a single source?

@myjackcity#27582 What are you trying to suggest, just say what you need
