alltimedesk.com - it is an Untrustworthy Technical Support Website

I was scammed a couple weeks ago from 'care@alltimedesk.com'. My home computer locked up and a message flashed on the screen telling me to call the Microsoft help team at 1-866-988-6796 to resolve the issue. I was in a hurry and my gut feeling didn't prevent me from moving forward. It cost me $350. I now know that there are fraudulent technical support websites like alltimedesk.com that display fake popup messages that block you out of your computer or mobile device, and then ask you to call a fake technical support website to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

Microsoft doesn't display messages asking you to call a third party technical support company when an error occurs. And, you should take extreme precautions when giving someone remote access to your computer. If that person is unscrupulous, they can install spyware and other malware on your computer or mobile device, which they can use to steal your personal, financial or other sensitive information silently.

I too got caught by these people. Fortunately I had to call them back in about 10 minutes and got nothing but music.

No one ever answered the phone. Then I tried to email them and it could not be recognized. I called my credit card company and they are taking care of it. Canceled card, but don't know what they did to my computer.

Yes, these lovely people got me too. Fortunately, I got my repair guy up here the next day to uninstall their software and they were unable to access my personal information soon enough to do any damage.

That's if you don't count the $500 on my credit card. Fighting that right now too. Like others, I was in a hurry and let my anxiety take over my good common sense.

FRAUD ALERT,Alltimedesk are scammers do not use; learn how to free your computer from their alert and don't give them any info and file a complaint.

Cancel any cards you may have used with them; they are not affiliated with Microsoft in any way.

I was also scammed by All Time Desk and Global Technologies earlier this month. I also got a pop-up and could not do anything with my computer and was forced to call the number on the screen.

Like a fool, I gave them my password to fix the problem remotely and paid with a credit card costing me 300.00.

I am having my credit card shut down and I have reported the incident to the Federal Trade Commission.Do not do business with these people!
