Who called from 2097795007

Guy trying to take control of my computer 209-779-5007

What pisses me off is I too got the same call and knew it was ridiculous from the get go....how the heck would they be able to know what was on my computer and if i even had a Windows machine...but the most annoying part is how they got my phone number...hours before I had gone to best buy to sign up for a new cell service and a new phone #.....also bought a new laptop....that was the first call I received on my new cell.....hope they never call again...

I just got a call from this number. A man, Alex, with an Indian accent, claimed my computer was sending a lot of error reports and that they would come and take my computer unless I did what he said. He first wanted me to visit www.windowstechnicalteam.com. I asked for his number and told him I would have to verify who he was before I went to the website. He gave me 209-779-5007. I contacted microsoft technical support through the official www.microsoft.com website and was told that this was a scam. Microsoft does not contact customers unless as a follow-up to a customer request for help. I haven't contacted them in years. Do not go to the website. Do not allow them access to your computer. Ask them what the problem is and then contact microsoft support directly, if you are worried.

I just received a call from person claiming to be a windows tech, said they were getting error reports.  I had my
msn email hacked a few weeks ago and managed to get that cleaned up.  He said he was calling from Illinois, but when I checked and found this 209 area code is in California, got suspicious and hung up.  They tried calling back
but I didn't answer this time.  Dodged the bullet on that one.

A Windows Technical Team representative called me with great concern of the many errors being reported to Microsoft as evidenced by right clicking on my computer, and left clicking manage, event viewer, create custom view, checking critical, warning, and error boxes, right clicking on one of these and trying to delete it. According to him these 'errors' were caused by a virus which had also removed the delete ability and he was there to fix it at no charge before I lost my computer.
Questioning his authenticity I got his name Peter Dawson (who spoke with a thick Indian accent), his telephone number - 1 209-777-5007, his e.mail - [email protected], and his address in Aurora, IL. The only way to verify all this was to go to his website at www.windowstechnicalteam.com gain access with a User Name - 'memberadmin' and Password - 7894 to get to the home page. There he asked me to click a continue arrow which prompted me to inquire why Microsoft Security Essentials thought this may not be a good idea and did I really want run or save AA_v3.exe (709KB) from www.ammy.com which would have gladly installed RemoteAccess;Win32/AmmyyAdmin. I told him I needed more confirmation this was all legit and would call him back shortly.
DuckDuckGo promptly located this site and information for which I am grateful. I should have known better than to go to his website let alone click around on it, but I did. I very quickly disconnected my Internet connection and ran a quick MSE scan, rebooted, updated, and ran a full scan with no bad results.
I feel this lengthy observation and warning to others is the best action I can take.
I hope he is still waiting for my return call........but I doubt it.
