Just got a call from 213-333-3206 claiming the whole "your gonna crash your computer" "using microsoft windows" "sending error reports" stuff. Told him it sounded like a scam and ended the call. Looked up the number and well you know the rest if you are reading this.
Just received a call from this number. Male with Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft. Claimed to have a report from my computer with detected malware and spyware. I asked fort he time stamp on the report and he had no idea what I was talking about So I told him that his call was BS because Microsoft has a time stamp on all reports and that he was trying to scam people. Then I hung up. Caller ID listed the name as MGL BPO. No idea what that could possibly mean. Just glad I got the call instead of my elderly mother or hysterical brother.
I just had a call from this number 213-333-3206 MGL BPO, woke me up as I work nights as sheriff dispatch. The guy on the phone spoke with heavy Punjabi (accent from a region in India). Right away I asked him in Doabi ( our native language ) what is he selling and that my husband whos an IT consultant maintains all the computers in the house. Then he just hung up without letting me finish my words. The nerve!
If you have caller ID, save this number as evidence and call FTC if you eant to pursue a complaint.
I am in the UK had a call from this number saying they needed to help with my computer. He could barely speak English. When I challenged him he hung up
Got the same call this afternoon. Thought it very strange, I continued to ask questions, then said I would investigate and call back. He gave me a Portland, OR number 971-21-79510. Again, East Indian accent, but said his name was PATRICK ANDERSON! lol! I verified with Microsoft that it's a phone scam, and I then called FTC and reported, and they advised me to call Fraud Alert at 1-800-525-6285. Sure hope he didn't get anything off my computer from the landline...
