iYogi Scam - Scammers fake themselves, fool customers and kill organization

There are all sorts of scams floating around on the Internet. Some of them have been around since the early days of the Internet-most of these were crude attempts at extorting money from gullible users-but with the passage of time, these Internet crooks have refined their techniques into a fine art. Some of these scams are done with the help of hackers who take remote control of your computer by infecting the defense architecture. 

While reading various websites I found something interesting where the protectors of computers (technicians) are being termed as scammers. This so not right not just for the consumers but also to these tech support guys. Complaints on these sites made me do bit of research on the so called “tech support scams”. 


I totally agree remote tech support has been a boon to the customers. It saves times and money and the problems are resolved in shortest possible time. But the scary part is how trust worthy the cause is giving complete control to a person sitting thousands of miles away can be bit tricky. God knows what they can possibly do once they have the control, they can steal your banking details, social security numbers, etc. Reading the entire guff around this tech support  scam I came across iyogi scam, while checking how iyogi work and reading there press releases they have categorically denied any involvement in scams clearly stating iyogi scam is a hoax and iyogi is not meant for ripping off customers. 


There are many Fake tech support organizations who aim at helping people at a competitive less price. Do not fall for it because of its competitive price. 


Just follow some standards:

First - never ever give control of your computer to anyone unless you’re sure that the person is a legitimate representative.


Second - don’t help them with your personal information straight away. 


Third - just remember there’s a big no around you always, whenever you are doing any transaction over phone or online using your credit card, bank account or social security information, always check – ask whether the line is secured or not? What kind of security measures they are taking? 


Fourth - If you think you’ve been ripped off, inform your bank and the local police immediately. Don’t try any heroics yourself! Let law do its job.
Scams and scammers are getting innovative they are trying everything to fool you. The best one can do is by keeping a tab on scams happening around updating yourself and broadening your understanding of scams can be a gift. 


From the Nigerian 419-the most well-known of the lot, to fraud, such as Internet dating scams, fake antivirus scams, and in one case, even something as bizarre as a fake voice scam, in which a man disguised his voice as a woman to dupe the gullible. If you receive a call from a source claiming to be a tech support in this case IYOGI or with some other name, without doing your bit of ref check don’t help them with complete details beware it might be a part of iyogi scam and the scammers will have their last laugh. 

There are few simple things one can check before they decide to sign in for a service or buy a product. Make sure you ask relevant questions and get complete details. It may have happened that one time a user tried online support from iyogi but was slightly disgruntled about the services he received and posted malicious messages saying iyogi scam ripping customers. But the fact is iyogi is governed by a strict code of ethics solving technical queries of users and not ripping off unsuspecting clients! Check their website where iyogi scam alerts are helping customers save their machine and data.

Google Music Scam

Be careful, webizens: Anyone offering you a free Google Music Beta invite is setting you up for a scam.
The beta doesn’t let current users give out invitations to their friends, so no one has spare invites to give you. That includes Mashable writers, your friends online, and any website claiming to be giving away Google Music invites.

Any person or website claiming to be “giving away” Google Music invites is lying, a fact we’ve just confirmed with Google representatives. Because of the way invites are handed out, they’re linked to specific Google Accounts. In other words, one person can’t request an invite and pass it on; the invite has to be requested and accepted by the same Google Account.

[WARNING] Google+ Scam Spreading Via Fake Invites

Malicious hackers have targeted Google’s social networking service, Google+, for the first time in a scam that involves fake invites to the service, Naked Security reports.

The fake invites are spreading through email, and they look very similar to the actual invites to the service, down to the email address which seems to be coming from a Google+ member.

However, if you click on a link in the message – which we definitely do not recommend – you’ll land at a site trying to send you penis enlargement products.

Scams such as this one are very common with major product launches; most recently, we’ve seen a similar phishing scheme involving Google Music invites. Whenever you receive an “invite” to a service, especially from a third party, be extra careful before clicking any links and make sure that the invite is really coming from a legitimate source.
