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.
The Indian guy called me, claiming to be from Microsoft. He said I had spy-ware embedded in cookies and Micosoft technician would help me if I logged on to spotonclick. He was persistent and insistent that I should follow his instructions and being a computer novice I was taken in ,at first by the Microsoft name. However I was suspicious that he didn't want me to log on to Microsoft. When he asked me for £45 I went balistic. He didn't get any details or the money but I feel an idiot for not recognising the phone call for what it was
I too have just been taken in by indian guy who is using the name Justin. however, I have not given any details or passwords> i only hope that I haven't set my self up for a computer disaster!!!!
I just got the same call. His persistence raised red flags. Not only that, but the symptoms he claimed I was suffering from (slow Internet, pop ups) weren't true. I saw this site and told him no thanks.
Do not fall for this scam. I was carefull enough to get away. After a few questions I said to them I want to verify their statements and company. They have given me a number to call 02 10147593 and ask to speak to a Mr. Paul. Stay clear.
Just got a call from and Indian man - same as all the above - very insistent that I had a Trojan virus on my computer, that he was with Microsoft, that it was infecting my files. Gave me incorrect info about my computer which I didn't correct. Told him that was rubbish - no problems on my computer, but I called the 212 number to check up. Another Indian who admitted they weren't actually Microsoft but were supportonclick, and get information on customers from dealers. He tried to put me through to the Sales Dept. Told him never to call me again. Has anyone notified Microsoft?
