hi there... i got the phone call to from a john wilson and the guy wanted to get on to my computer aswell.. the weird part about it is that we turned off our computer.. then we got the call.. he was hacking when we were on but when we shut it off, he lost connection; thus, the phone call... and I phoned our internet provider (shaw), and the guy tried to hack the man that called because of the history but had no luck doing so as the hacker had encryption codes set on his ip address, name, and number... so yes, this is a scam... and what every you do, dont press yes on your computer if the "windows service center" wants to access your computer.. bottom line... this is a bid scam and the guy is good...
Just got a call from "Benjamin" who sounds an awful lot like Jim and Peter (Indian accent).
Anyway, if this were legitimate they would ask a whole bunch of questions to verify that they are speaking to the right person. Instead I asked the questions and concluded that they're using the information published by the phone company ... he had nothing more than that. Pretty sure that when I register a product I'm required to submit a lot more than a phone number am last name.
Being as suspicious as all of you I told him I was in the middle of something and that i'd call back (just wanted the do a search on them). He gave me this number, but a minute or so later calls me from 607-324-9764. When I asked him why that was he said it was computer generated.
To everybody out there, DON'T TRUST THEM.
Also, most legit call centers never tell you to call a specific person. They give you the number and a reference number and tell you that anybody will be able to pull up your information and help you.
Got a call from Peter at this # who identified himself as being from Window's Servicing Center. Apparently they have been receiving many distress emails from my computer. He had me go to Run and key in some letters. He sounded shocked when I refused to press OK.
Even if he was completely legitimate I would never purchase anything from a telemarketer. It fuels an industry that spams you, calls during dinner and generally disrupts your life. If you want telemarketers to go away stop buying from them.
Received a phone call from John Wilson with an Indian accent, claiming to be from microsoft. He said that one of my computer was sending large files and he wanted to help me remove them. When I tried to get some informatio about which computrer on the network was causing the problem he refused to give me the information saying that it was not his job (how could he remove the files???). I asked for the phone number to call him back he he gave me 856 831 0503. He got confused about his location: Manitoba, UK etc. This was an obvious scam and when I told him that he would not access my computer the F* words started to flow. Interesting....
