The Teamviewer Scam

Just a small thread to let people know about the teamviewer scam. It's probably already done, but i would just like to warn member's about it.

Basically when buying gold, selling account's, the scammer will ask you to go on teamviewer, tell the victim to log into his account via the scammer's pc to verify you have the account. But what the victim does not know is that the scammer will have a keylogger planted ready to record your username and password.

Don't fall for it.

 

Never knew this! thanks

 

Nice to know, I was thinking about doing a deal with someone and he'd use TV, I was suspicious and didn't go through

 

Good to know.

 

lol at Gonzzzz have seem him getting his post count up on random threads with pointless posts

 

lol, that's what you think.

 

I thought this was obvious, why would you ever do this in the first place? They could easily exit out of teamviewer once you logged in..

 

Indeed ^ I dont like teamviewer at all.

 

TV is a stupid program. There's plenty of other ways to prove you have an account or such.

 

they cant plant it if u set ur permissions to only allow them to view the screen deny them any access to ur files, etc.

 

Noob's won't know how to do this.

 

So thats how they got my acccount :-(

 

Ahh thanks for this!

 

log into account on ur computer, then allow them to see it with team viewer...don't fall for idiotic scams

 

Yeah this is quite a old one. I fell for it once, but I managed to recover account and get his IP adress.

 

Anything with involuntary access to your computer screen by another person kind of freaks me to be honest.

thank you for sharing, will decline teamviewer invites from now on

 

Bump.
