My husband had me talk to them I did not want I felt as if it was a scam. I did though and they took control of my computer then asked me to do some thing that I would have to pay for. I asked for a number and said I would call back. I did not but they called me the next day. I said about 5 times I did not want their services and them the guy who said his name was mark told me to go f**k myself and hung up. I called the number back and they tried to say it wasn't them.
These guys claim to be microsoft representatives and ask for IP adress to look at your computer for viruses and corrupt files etc. They want to sell you some type of software, in this case he wanted to do it by setting up a paypal account. Sounds like a scam to me.
got a call from a guy who sounded like he was from India and said he was from a company called windows pc. I said oh, you are from microsoft. he said no , dont take any calls from microsoft it is a scam.. go figure. anyway he wanted to access my pc for the same virus going around and I told him i needed his phone # to call back. he said ask for dominic at 213-839-6802. these guys think most americans were born yesterday.
Same MO here. Claimed to be from Microsoft, had an Indian accent, wanted access to the targets personal computer. My elderly mother-in-law is getting calls from this guy and so far she has not followed thru (on my advice), but she is tempted. Thanks to this web site I can tell her definitively that it is just another scam.
How did they get into my computer? I had a call Mark at this number who wanted me to pay out of my pocket? Can I use my computer? Is it corrupted? Help asap please
