I also received a call from this guy. He said that I could sign up for
help at $80 a month. I think that he works with other people who work customer service at banks accross the country. How unfair is this!
They want your ss#'s. God only knows what their plans are for your financial situation.
Just like "carfeul person" I too received teh same exact call from and indian guy and gave the 212-796-4064 number to me too, he said his name was Mr. Johnson though and wouldn't give me his first name but gave me an employee number. As he told me that I had a trojan virus - he proceeded to tell me I had an xp OS, and that I used a verizon internet connection and that my computer was at least a year old, I told him that was all correct even though none of it is accurate. he wanted me to go wo www.supportonclick.com - I said I did but I didn't. While I truthfully have no proof, I have to believe this is some sort of scam to get personal information off of my computer - or to somehow infect my computer so I would need to "buy" his service or something to remove it. I don't see how this guy and his call can be legit.
Just had a similar experience - caller ID blocked - claimed to be from Microsoft saying that I had a Trojan virus on an XP computer with a Verizon internet account. Extremely persistent - even called back. Also offered a second number to call - 212-796-0581 in addition to 212-796-4064. Name given was Keith Watson. -- Where are they getting their list of people to call. It seems like the people most likely to know both your Internet provider and your operating system would likely be your Internet service provider. Hmmm... Has somebody gotten illegal access to a Verizon customer list?
Just got a call from this same number. Said I had error messages from Microsoft and he needed to fix. I asked for his number which he gave as 212-796-4064.
I asked him why he was calling from NY not calling from Washington State--since that is where Microsoft is located. He got flustered and then hung up.
Same Indian accented guy called my neighbor on Tuesday.
July 11th 08.
Got a call from same Indian man who stated that he was calling from an affiliation of microsoft and that i had a trojan virus on my computer, he was extremely persistent that I followed his instructions as the virus would crash my computer. He asked me to go to "run" and type in supportonclick.com , then to sign up, the page was asking for my personal info.(name,address, tel.# ect). i told him I was concerned as I did not contact microsoft regarding any problems and I would call him back. He gave me 2 callback #s 212-796-4064 and 212-796-0581 , and his name is GARY, but stated that he would callback in 15 minutes. I called both #s and none worked. 15 minutes later "GARY the scammer" called back and I cursed him out. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS INDIAN GUY.
