Same MO. Didn't catch on at first, but when I realized the charge was to some company other than microsoft (which is who they said they were calling from at first) I cancelled the charge with my cc co and unplugged my computer. At substantial expense I then had everything taken off my computer and reinstalled. Don't fall for their line. Thie phone number does not ring. It automatically disconnects and you get the recorded message phone co message "If you want to make a call,,,,,".
Just got a call from a foreign speaking person stating they were from a company called E-Perfection. Calling to state that they have received information that many computers in my Zip Code have been calling Microsoft with computer problems due to online infections.
I started asking questions and the line went dead.
I had the same call today 8-27-11. They wanted me to log on to my computer. The number was unknown on caller id - I asked their number so I could call back. Insisted this was not a sales call. This call sounded very phishy. I thought this foreign speaker was saying E-protection.
Pakistani called me wanted me to go to some websites and saying the we had an online infection (not a virus, an online infection). He refused to email me instructions and insisted that I log into his website. Said he was from EPerfect. I think it's a scam.
I received the same phone call around 3:00 oclock today.The man sounded with a heavey foriegn accent as well. He insistedabout my computer not having enough secruityand I was risking to lose all my files ect. he wa very persitent trying to convince me to buy secruity for my desktop. It took a while before i got rid of him I am not sure if he was real or not. He did say he was calling from Global Tech E Support somthing like that.
