My 78 year old mother has been getting calls from 209-779-5088. He claims to be from Windows and wants her to get on her computer and type in information so he can fix problems that are being reported into Windows. He has an accent, sounds like Indian, and there is noise in the background. He called several times and was very intimidating. This scared my mother. I would love to see this person(s) caught!!!!!
This call came to me yesterday on my business phone telling me that my computer was sending out very harmful viruses and to shut my phone down and he would walk me through getting rid of them. And yes, a VERY heavy Indian accent!!! Very hard to understand!

Caller asked me to download software onto my computer which would have allowed them to take control of my computer. Call is an attempt at computer fraud and a scam. "Windows" does not call customers nor direct them to alter their computers. Numerous complaints on this number are documented on the web.
Called me at least 6 times in the course of 20 minutes, said she worked for Windows and that they were getting bad information from my computer. Microsoft is the company that manufactures Windows, so this was clearly a scam, also I do a bit of tech support myself and i've had customers complaining about this call before. Huge Scam. Took down their phone number but after numerous attempts to look up the phone number or the company in the 209 area, i never found it.
Callers from this company contacted my wife. Tricked her into going to the www.windowtechnicalteam.com web site and clicking on buttons. Next their mouse was on her computer showing her all of the viruses Norton was missing and trying to sell her software. I found out later. What they did was disable her Norton anti virus and firewall software, opened a lot of files and I don't know what else. We are rebuilding the computer and canceling credit cards now. They have Indian accent. You were smart samtylr
I got a call today from an unknown number. A man with a very thick Indian accent claimed that he was calling from Windows support and that my computer was sending out signals that it had some dangerous viruses. If I was near my computer he could help me clean it up. I told him that my computer is fully protected by Norton but he insisted that these are viruses Norton would not pick up. I told him what he was saying did not sound right and that I needed to verify the call, could he give me a number to call. The first number he gave me was 44 20 32 39 66 60 which I told him was ridiculous and not a real number. Then he gave me 800-22 40 20 which I informed him was also wrong because it was not complete. The last number he gave me was 1-209-779-5007 which he said was their U.S. support line. I immediately googled this last number and found myself here. Thanks to you all for posting.
