My wife got the call, "twice" and they indicated it was a "Windows security issue" and said it was "URGENT" and she would "lose everything!"...the guy went my "Eric" but I am guessing his name was Mohammed, and he was not from MSFT. I insisted he tell me the name of the company he was with, and after I refused to believe "Windows tech support" he told me the name of the company was "Technical Support" I asked him again and when he confirmed, I laughed out loud at his dumb a** and asked him to send me an email indicating his company & the purpose of his call (can you believe I am still waiting?!). What a fckn' joke, they are the worst I have ever seen, DO NOT RESPOND to ANY of their requests for data...this is an international "tie line" to India/Pakistan/Asia via Seattle....no connection to MSFT, USA or your operating system...complete BS!
Claims to be with Microsoft Windows. Claims your computer has been hacked. Your name, phone number and address has been acquired from public data bases. Caller ID shows unknown number. The number 206-424-8913 is the number to call back. THIS IS A SCAM!
This call came in on my phone unknown name and number . Claiming to be Windows Service Center .. that my computer is being hacked .. was I aware of this .. they wanted me to go to my computer to try to something .. I ask for a number he gave me this one 206-424-8913 and ID number .. I told him I would call my service provider and the BBB . get back with them ..Yeah right .. I called service provider they told me to call the police .. So not sure what I'm going to do .. at this point .. so BEWARE of this number .. 206-424-8913
I recieved a call on my land line I have had for over 15 yrs to be told by a pakastanian sounding individual who stated he was from Windows Service Center claiming "...computer has been hacked & go to my computer so they could show me how the hackers got in." I was told to hit the windows icon button and the letter r on my key board n tell them what I saw. Since I am no fool I wanted to verify who they really were n told them (which is true) I am on a old TRIMLINE phone with an actual CORD and cannot get to my computer give me a # I can call back to fix this HACKER business...was given 206-424-8913. Googeld it n saw these posts. DONT GIVE ANYONE INFO THAT CALLS FROM THIS #.
