Sam issue 10 minutes ago. 4:46 EST. Caller with heavy Indian/Pakistani accent said I was shaving a problem with my computer. It was infected and this was very urgent. I asked where they got my number and they said my computer was reported through Microsoft Support. I asked again where he got my number and if he could direct me to the Windows Support website for further information. He started giving me a www.winsolutions site and I cut him off. He kept insisting that they had information a virus was coming from computer and this was urgent. I said don't call her again and hung up. Thing is I have registered on the do not call site repeatedly. That does not seem to be working. Caller ID said Top Googlepages with the number 1-971-217-9518
I didn't answer this time, but I have had calls from this outfit before saying there is a virus in the Microsoft software. They deny working for Microsoft, but say they are tech support for the software. These people are really slick, so don't be fooled. Back when I got the first call, I had just purchased a new computer. The first time they called me, the number came back to a legit Canadian company. I contacted them and told them maybe one of their employees are using company phones to make scam calls.
I am wondering if anyone else has just purchased a new computer in the past few months. When they called me, they knew I had Windows 7 and it had just come out. On the other hand, I have received several calls from different numbers with the same scam several times over the past year. That's about how long I've had my present computer.
Got the same call. It is a huge scam. They want you to turn on your computer and log on to a web site where they supposedly will fix your "very seriously infected windows computer". I listened to his instructions, but did nothing during the call. The scam is to get you to download mal ware.
Need to fix your windows infected computer ( yah right ) told them to F--- O-- and was calling the FBI they said go ahead ahahahahahaahah idiots . They must think canadians are stupid ahahahahahahaahahah
I've had calls from this number before, but I answered for the first time today. The person said they were calling about windows security. I told him that all our windows were closed because we had the air conditioning on and hung up
