Person with strong accent asked if he was talking with some name, not mine. I said it was a wrong number and then he wanted to talk with the person responsible for my computer. He said that he had been affected by some type of very serious problem, and implied he was calling from Microsoft. He asked me to turn on my computer, at which point I told him not to call again and hung up. I've received one more call that I did not answer.

I am in the UK and received the exact same phone call, my computer had been fine, then it started freezing and going super slow, then by coincidence this company phoned me and knew what was wrong with my machine, i spend 40 minutes going through the motions with him and found out i had '2609 threats' to my system, then he offered to fix the whole lot for £89.99. i respectfully declined his offer and ran a full scan with my own antivirus, which took 90minutes, not the 7 minutes it took him, and found no threats whatsoever, it did however find a couple of trojan files which i deleted and the computer went back to normal, i can't help but think that for £89.99 all they would do is deactivate their own virus. i was a bit annoyed as to how they accessed my information as i pay to have my phone number ex-directory, i have as yet to receive a reply to my inqurires regarding this.
You are right Marie. I have also got these services from ifixo. I had facing some problem with my computer. It showed Blue Screen Error. I thought how to solve blue screen error. Then I heard from one of my friend that he had also this type of problem & it has solved by a company named ifixo. I called them up, they behaved with me well. 1st they listened my problem and over phone they gave me some suggestions. After some steps my problem has solved. So don’t blame them before using their service.
Who is it that calls from 201-200-9999, then doesn't say anything. What are they up to? Can't anything be done about this aggravating practice? Qwest, look into it. This is one of several calls I get a day, stealing my time. Will my only recourse be to cancel my home phone service.
