Just received the phone call from the 201-620-3170 number. Said that my computer was corrupted and that he needed my information. When I told him I was calling the authorities, he hung up on me.
I just recieved my third call saying there is trouble with my computer. He asked who is the primary user on the computer. He said my computer is sending harmful and malicious messages. He said his name was Adam. I asked for a callback number so my computer tech could call him back. He gave 201-620-3170.
I have been getting non-stop calls for the same reason....my computer is flooding their boards at Windows support that my computer has been corrupted and so on. When the calls come in, some crazy number shows up on my caller ID....like V018365280-012-345-6789....it's crazy!!! When I told the guy I was not in front of my computer and could I call him back her gave me this number (201-620-3170), told me his name was Justin Smith (which was a lie cause he was Arab or something) and his password "Love" (for what reason I needed that I don't know). I said I'll call back. Well a few hours went by and he called again, with another crazy number showing up this time starting with the letter "M". He said "I thought you were gonna call me back?" and I told him I was busy. He started to get very rude and pushy and when I told him I did not believe him and that I would call Microsoft myself to see if this was true He got even nastier and said to me "What? Are you special that someone at Microsoft would speak with you?" I said 'Excuse me...but who the hell do you think you are talking to?" and he started to talk again and I hung up!!! The funny thing is that about a month ago I got a call from a nu,ber I didn't know and when I called it back, it lead me to Movie Phone. A few minutes later, the call came in again and this time I answered it and it was this same idiot that called me today. He gave me the same speech and I told him he was full of crap cause the number he was calling from was NOT Windows but rather Movie Phone. He argued with me then and he argued with me today. If they call again I am informing him that the authorities have been notified and they are tapping my phone to catch his scamming [***] AND if anything gets jeopardized with my computer or it crashes, the police will know about that too!!!! Can't wait to tell him that and see what he does!!!
Caller claims that my windows Operating system is compromised. Gives the name listed on phone book as the person in the house. Claims that we have a CLSI errors and provides a long ID code. When I told them that they are a scam, he got quite upset and started yelling at me. I asked for a call back number and this is what he gave. Said his name was Peter. I hung up and called the authorities as this is happening quite often. I was told to just hang up and them. Do not engage.
Guy with Indian accent claiming to be 'Adam Foster' called from '012-345-6789' and gave me the number 201-620-3170. Asked me to turn on my computer so he could 'guide' me. Claimed to be from Microsoft and told me I had downloaded something that is compromising my Windows Operating system that needed to be removed from my computer.
