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!!!!!
I just received a call from this number. a heavily accented man said he was calling from Windows Support. I told him there was nothing wrong with my computer but he argued. I took his number and googled and found myself here. I own an Apple computer.

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.
I just received a similar call. I asked him what IP address was sending the bad data and he did not have my ip address. The accent is very heavy and he was very difficult to understand. I have a vonage number with a Denver prefix but I am in Mexico. At first I thought it was the Mexican cable company so I asked him what company he worked for he could not answer. My computer is a Mac so I knew no Windows support was needed! He wanted me to go to www.windowstechnicalteam.com When I googled that I found this site.
Total scam. They called today, I googled them while on the phone. I told them their site was down. They told me to search again and their site magically reappeared. Hang up on them and don't waste your time!
The same thing happened to me. I led him on a bit to see where he was going with his spiel, then told him that I had to make dinner and would call him back. He gave me the same number. He was very difficult to understand. Said his name was Thomas. with Windows Technical Team, 1 209 779 5007. When I asked him why his caller ID said "Anonymous", he stated he was calling through the internet.
