Jack (with a very heavy east Indian accent) claiming to be from Microsoft called saying that I had a refund due to me. He asked that I go into my computer, which I did not. He knew my name, phone # and my email. He said that their Co. was being shut down which was why he had to access my computer first. It sounded too suspicious to me. He gave me their number # to call them back to finish taking of this.
What recourse do we have? Who should we be calling to report this?
Computer scammer i think, wanted me to go to www.help22.com and to a tech support with ammy something or other. then wanted me to run a program which I did not open or run said my computer was full of virus and showed me how to access some kind of error info on my files and said they needed to be removed. I became suspicious and hung up on them. I Hung up on them It sounds like the same scam as i have just read from other people who reported this except the number was different.
They call constantly. They say my computer is going to crash in a half hour if I don't do what they say. They say they are from Microsoft and I need to buy a warranty to keep my computer from crashing. They will not stop calling when they are told not to. Many times the same people call and the caller ID comes up blank or unknown caller. They are very rude and are driving us crazy.
