the also told me the same story...when they sent me requests to have access to my pc..i noted down the ID number that wanted to get on my pc = 4995697 the guy told me his name is peter white..i do not trust them..how they get my number iam in canada
They say they are a "windows technical department" and a "channel company of windows" and my computer is sending error messages and is in dire condition and they need to help me repair it. They are very persistent. This is the second time this week. The first time when I questioned them, they hung up. This time, they gave me their number. When I call back I can barely understand them but they insist they are there to help fix the computer. I would not give them any info and asked them to stop calling.
Just got a call from the 201-338-6142 windows servicing center...immediately suspicious, surprised he gave me number to call. He got quite an attitude when I asked if he was going to try to sell me something. Thankful for this site! Helped me to quickly see this was a scam and hang up on him. I agree, quite persistent that I turn on my computer right away. Glad I didn't. Wow, just had call from 203-051-3739 which I did not pick up. Turns out that number is in this directory too. Handy that! Thanks.
Same as Cat. This is almost certainly a scam. A friend of mine was caught this way in the UK they remotely connected to her computer to Phish for her personal data. They also asked for a credit card number and charge you for "fixing your computer" Do not entertain this call!! You have been warned
Similar to Cat, very persistent that I turn on my computer, they will show me what is wrong. I got this number from them but would not do as asked. This is twice in the past month.
