PC support con? just happened!

Just got off the phone from a (Indian?) gent claiming to be a computer engineer who has spotted a problem with my PC. The line was quite poor so he had to repeat most things, however, he talked me through a process to show I had a problem (CPU history on the task manager) and he needed to delve deeper into the computer to rectify the fault.

He then got me to fire up google and gave an address to put into web browser.

He then asked me to click on ‘join session’ to link our PCs.

This was the point I said “no”, then explained I have no idea who he was, where he came from, what his motives were, etc

His reply was he was from the UK, he was trying to fix a problem and if I thought at any time he was looking at my files, I could disconnect.

I said “no” again and asked for a company/email address.

He came back with:

https://www.pcsupportcenter.net

I again asked his location and he replied UK

I asked why they spell ‘center’ American/English not ‘Centre’ English /English?
There was a pause (spellchecker?) and then informed me his spelling was correct.

While he was fannying around I typed his address in and ‘failed to connect’

He got rather excited when I said “no, I’m not handing over my computer to you” for the third time.

His elevated voice knocked the line to a complete jumble and I could no longer understand anything he said.

I hung up.

The call was 21 minutes long.

Anyone here had anything similar?
