Just received same call - I didn't trust this and told him so - eventually gave me the above # to call to confirm and I found these posts by searching the phone # online - as well he kept telling me they are legit from "New Jersey" - sure didn't sound like it! And he kept trying to prove to me he's from windows - stay away from this! he said his name was Robin White. - based on his accent that was a totally made up name. Sounded like he was from India or Pakistan.
I’ve been receiving calls from a company that identifies themselves as Microsoft Technical Dept. Informing me that they’ve been receiving complaints that our computer is sending out a virus. They ask me to go to my computer and key in a long number and they will fix the problem. The first time I told them that I’m not at my computer and called my son (tech adviser) but they keep calling. The last call I asked them to give me their contact info and I will call back to confirm that they are with Microsoft.
I was given the below information.
Technical Dept/Microsoft in Seattle WA
201 338-6142 and ask for James Guppling. I Googled the number and found your post.
I got the same persistent call from a "Microsoft Tech" insisting he could fix my computer for $409.00, wanting my credit card number. I told him I'd call back the next day but checked it out and he's a fraud. The number he left me was (201) 338-6142. Don't fall for his fast talk and persistent ways - he's a fraudster.
I received a call from an indian he asked me to log to my computer so he can fix my widow defection i do not know from where they are getting my info even though my window is not register under my name
