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.
The last post was over 6 months ago so I thought it was worth saying that they are back at it. I was on the other line, luckily, so I didn't answer it. Looked up the number and found all these posts. Good gracious!
I think you are getting wrong. I got a call from iFixo and a boy asked me whether I was having any trouble with my computer. I did have some trouble with it and this computer problem was constantly delaying my work. I was really frustrated with the whole situation and thought of sharing my problem with him. This person said that they were Microsoft certified and I thought why not give them a chance. I told him about the issues I was facing. He listened attentively and he did understand the trouble I was going through because he told me about some symptoms that I was facing and this made me feel that yes this guy did recognise the trouble. He explained to me what the problem was and told me about some charges to fix it and it was a reasonable one. He said that he will do it remotely and I just need to co-operate. I did and this problem was solved efficiently within a few minutes. I never thought it can be such a hassle-free job. I just explained to them my situation and I simply relaxed and it was done. I think they did a great job for me and I am happy.
They have called my phone about 20 times without leaving a message. Number is 614-300-5233, I traced it to 201-203-9999 to which I called and the VM comes and says "sorry, busy" and than a hang-up.
Got a call today from that number saying they wanted to talk to me about my microsoft windows - same thing - heavy accent. I said - I don't even own a computer and they apologized and hung up.
