Got a call from this # just this afternoon, the caller's name is Peter (just as in the case of Yvette). He said he was from Windows tech support. I asked for his #, he didn't give me, but another guy gave (this should have been a red signal). Later Nigel came online and asked for access to my computer, downloaded RegClean and showed me how many errors with yellow and red sings are on my computer. He said for onetime fee of $298, they will delete all the files, fix my computer.. I kept askign these guys, if the tech support is from Microsoft, why can't they send a patch to resolve the problem. When they said $$, i just hung up the phone. Uninstalled Regclean right away - feel bad that I was almost taken for a ride!
Yes, I got a call from one of Peter's underlings claiming that my computer had been sending error messages to Microsoft. He guided me through various logs to prove that I have numerous error messages; and I have had trouble with an "instable" computer for some time. After determining I have an 'infected computer'-- no virus name or details.... I was suspicious. Then the young man put Peter on the phone and he wanted me to allow them access to my computer. I asked for their phone # in case we were disconnected... it was the number listed above and I did a quick internet search and saw your posts!! THANK YOU ALL FOR POSTING. I told him I need to check this out before I go further.
Yes, they had Indian accents and did claim to be from Microsoft. My computer is VERY unstable, but I dont think they are the answer. I don't have time for this nonsense!!
Received a call from 971-217-9514 (I couldn't understand the name). He said that they had received reports that my computer was infected with Malware. He had me go to the event viewer and confirm that I saw errors. I played along and eventually, he sent me to esup.me. I told him that I couldn't understand him and he put Peter on. Peter confirmed that they were authorized by Microsoft, that they received error logs from computers, and that fixing my computer would start at $119.99. Again, I played along for a while until I got tired. I finally told him that it would have to wait until Mommy or Daddy got home because I was only 15 and did not have a credit card. He told me to have them call 718-310-3935
Yeah, I can confirm that those guys are not legit. They tried telling my computer had malware and spyware on my computer but since I knew quite a bit about my computer I went ahead and played along with it. After telling my what seem like legit information I quickly noticed most of what they were talking about was a load of bs.
Then they as me to go to esup.me I knew at that moment they were looking to remote access my computer. I told them I would report their scam if they called again and they hung up. I am still planning to report their website and make sure people are aware of this scam.
I got a call from a different number but it is 971-217-9508 They claimed to be Microsoft and wanted to help me clean my computer he guided me to event viewer and I acted dumb till he told me he wanted remote access to my computer at witch point I told him put me in connection with somone via phone or chat but no way I was allowing anyone remote access to my machine and then he said he would mail me the instructions to clean up my computer and hung up before getting address or email.
