Same as above messages...said my computer was being hacked from someone in Japan and wanted control of my PC remotely..When I crapped on him for calling me so late he got quite upset...I told him I would call him back and this was the number he provided...said his name was Dave Johnson but it was obvious he was middle-eastern....i should have asked him to name me 3 hockey teams and 3 baseball teams

Oh I wish I had been smart enough to figure it out! Guess it is my brain. I should have known better-- he could speak English KINDA. An Indian accent. Oh well, my bad! I think it was a Microsoft Windows problem with my computer.
Just bought a new computer. Haven't had it for more than 2 weeks and I've already gotten 2 calls from mysterious heavy accented woman/women claiming to be from Microsoft or Windows. She claims I have a problem, wants me to turn on computer, she is trying to help. I say no way, give me a phone number. First time, she hangs up. Tonight (7/16/13) a similar experience, but she gives me 201-620-3170 when I ask for a phone number. I ask who or what is it and she tells me it's a Help Support Line. She says to ask for her, "Nancy Wilson," Oh, really?-- I have to ask her name several times, because her accent is so heavy, I don't understand what she is saying. In the background, I hear lots of noise from multiple people, probably all on phones doing the same. At end of call, I look up the phone number online and here I am reading everyones posts. So does anyone know how to get rid of them once and for all and what is clueing them in?
same message as above, a lady called me at 9:30 PM saying my computer is at risk and asked me to turn on my computer and she will guide me through. Her name is Nicole with Hispanic accent. She asked her for phone number and company, she gave me 201-620-3170, from Window operating system, help and support center.
