I got a call from this number and when I answered, they said my computer IP address was sending out signals blocking their network. I said, "Oh, no! Give me your IP address so I can check that." Then they then hung up.
I am shortly going to visit Kolkata with a team. Arranging some necessary facilities with the authorities. Concluding this scam company and its owners to a dead end shortly and effectively.
Hey I also had them call my home number today and my mom gave me the phone (as they do not know much about the computer) I knew something was up when he said their would be a one time fee and that my windows system was corrupt and would lose all my files.
When I told him I had to work and did not have the time to fix it now he gave me this number and said he would call back. We will see if he does. He had a thick Indian accent and my mom said he did not address her by her name at all. He was trying to tell me he could fix it while I was at work.
I have a friend who fixes my computer and I wanted to run any issues by him. The guy on the phone could not tell me what was actually corrupt (except windows itself) and he kept pushing. My friend informed me that it is a scam and now googling this number I can tell it is . My friend made a good point Microsoft has billions of customers and would never call someone to tell them there is a problem.
He also told me that when I go online it sends messages to them that it is corrupt. and his proof that my computer was infected was that it is running slow... sure!!! lol
Spread the word and tell other people so they don't get scammed!!
They said they were with Windows and my computer was sending error messages and they could help me. I did not give them information and looked up the number on the internet and bingo----big scam reported on them...They are out there trying to hack people. Don't give them information. As soon as you do not give them info and look the number up on the internet then call them on the scam, they hang up.
