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.
Got phone call from Windows service centre (indian fella). Informed me I was a legitimate windows users and that they were receiving error messages and there is a fault with my computer. He asked me to press windows flag button and R=Romeo. At this stage I asked for his number and checked windows service centre on google and found this site, thanks.
He called me back (Jack) never heard of a indian named jack before.. and I told him to that dell and presto will rectify problem and try my mate Daniels LOL
My call (in u.k. was apparently from number (from 0471) as 091459, which doesn't seem a normal number, and was from an Asian male purporting to be ringing from 'Windows Service Centre' saying I had inadvertently downloaded a windows update that was faulty. If I were to go into my pc he would help me solve the problem, This sounded peculiar and I was trying to ascertain more information, such as when I had done this etc. He rang off mid sentence.
I realise that this is not the number mentioned in the title but cannot find a place to report a u.k call from the number I received the call from
Received phone call this morning from Windows Service Centre!!! Asian chap said there were errors on my PC and they need to fix them before it cause more problems. I asked him to repeat what he said just to make confirm the company name "Windows Service Centre". No phone number displayed.
I told him to send me a letter as I have know idea who the hell he was!!!!
I got a call today from an Indian sounding guy I could barely understand which is unusual because I have business dealings with a lot of ethnic people and ususally understand them fairly well.
The phone number he gave me is 0280915001 but the story sounds the same. Anyway, he told me he was from the windows service centre and asked me to go to start>run on three occasions and type something in run and each time it came up with warnings but right from the start I felt a bit funny but thought I was being paranoid.
Two of the things he asked me to type in run were inf and eventvwr and each time they brought up errors and virus warnings. When he asked me to sign up for their program I told him I had no money and no credit cards and my wife controlled the family finances. He asked if he could call back on Monday.
At first I thought he might have been genuine because I have sent a few error messages to Microsoft lately.
Got a call from the 'Windows Service Centre' giving his name as Max Roberts and a phone number of 0280915001 (same number as yours). Heavily accented (seemed African)
After a story of my computer causing traffic congestion with other windows computers he asked me to type 'inf' in the run box and then type 'delete inf'. (As If !!)
Then type 'prefetch malware'
After some questions by me he put on his 'supervisor', also heavily accented, and said they could fix my problem and give a warranty for it which would only cost aud$50 a half year or aud$80 for a full year.
At this point I said send me an email with the details and they said the would and I rang off. Shame I didn't give them my email address!
I only persevered with the call until the punchline ( money) and then got bored with them. To anyone reading this don't do any of the procedure above. You really will need help then!
cheers
