![]() ![]() This app may have good intentions, but scammers are using it to get your information. He got angry and hung up on me (I just hope there wasn’t enough accessed for them to steal my information). I refused to click on my payment screen and that I didn’t trust what he was trying to do. When I told him he was recording my actions, he continued saying he was trying to help me and that he couldn’t see my screen. He asked me to go to my settings then my payment tab which I refused to do. He asked me to download this app and he started recording my actions on my screen. I gave them the invoice number in the email and he said someone from Texas has been charging to a PayPal account opened under my email for a couple months. I called the number and they claimed to be PayPal. I received an email from PayPal stating someone was trying to fraudulently use my PayPal account for charges (I don’t have a PayPal account, but that doesn’t mean someone didn’t open one in my name). Please make sure to check out our Abuse Management page, too:īeware of any scammers telling you to download! ![]() Note that even if they told you to use AnyDesk, we have no affiliations with such companies. Hello, we are sorry to hear this happened to you. I don’t actually know exactly how this app works but this was my encounter and I just want to share with people to be aware! So, the app is not a scam, but scammers will use this app to get a complete control of your phone and steal your info. The scammer told me in order to get my payment back from eBay, I have to fill out an application using this app. I now know the only way to contact eBay is to request a call and they will call you, they don’t provide a customer service phone number. This search sent me directly to a scammer. I had some issues regarding the payment on eBay and did a search on google for eBay customer service phone number (this was a big mistake). I almost got scammed by a scammer claiming to be calling from eBay. Those FBI popups are also fake, reboot and restore to an earlier point if this happens too.Īlmost got scammed by a Scammer NOT THE APP If you really have a problem you can’t figure out, look up the OFFICIAL phone number for apple or windows customer service. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CALL SOMEONE TO UNLOCK YOUR DEVICE. If it’s a desktop and it’s still frozen, restore the computer to an earlier point. Try restarting you’re device and most of the time that will fix it. It is a just a tab that has locked your screen or device temporarily. Whether it’s your phone or desktop, it’s not actually a virus. IF YOU EVER GET A POP UP SAYING THAT YOU HAVE A VIRUS, NEVER EVER CALL THE NUMBER THEY GIVE YOU. They’re just using legal apps in an illegal manner. Scammers use this app just like they use cash app, but it’s not the apps fault. This app on its own is completely safe as long as the device you’re connecting to is trusted. However, scammers will also use this software to take control of your device IF YOU CONNECT TO THEM DIRECTLY. This app is not a scam, it’s just a way to connect to another desktop or phone so that you can use it without being there. Also the Mac Version used to be buggy, haven't used it in a while, but Buggy as in all the text was white (not sure if it's on the latest OS X, have not used it in a while, been on Windows).I had to write this review because I keep seeing people falling for scams in the comment section. If the connection is really slow, it can lag a bit, but you can optimize the image to be quick and disable the sound, whereas in Teamviewer, the image will just freeze and you have to quit Teamviewer, the only issue with AnyDesk is just the CPU Usage. It can be a little bit heavy on the CPU side when using it on older hardware. Anydesk has a lot of the options you would need from Teamviewer and does them right and secure. Anydesk has also improved with time, which now I find no use to keep paying for Teamviewer which has become really expensive as of late. ![]() You can transfer files, keep bookmarks of your most accessed computers or just organize them. It works exactly how'd you expect if you come from using Teamviewer or other remote desktop access applications. Really pleasant and a great alternative whenever the Teamviewer License we use at work is under use and we've been considering and slowly moving our clients to AnyDesk because paying Teamviewer is now an expensive subscrption when there's so much good alternatives. ![]()
