Itsupportdesk often use publicly available phone directories, so they might know your name and other personal information when they call you. They might even guess what operating system you are using.
Once they have gained your trust, they might ask for your user name and password or ask you to go to a legitimate website to install software that will let them access your computer to fix it. Once you do this, your computer and your personal information are vulnerable.
Do not trust unsolicited calls. Do not provide any personal information.
Here are some of the organizations that Itsupportdesk claim to be from:
- Windows Service Center
- Windows Technical Department Support Group
- Microsoft Research and Development Team
