Received phone call today from this number for a company claiming to be Tech Solutions, Hired by Microsoft to track down and identify everyone with the csrss.exe virus. Thick Indian accent - noisy room - urgency in his tone.
I thanked him and told him I would take care of removing it myself. He began to insist that he had to remove it remotely from his end - and began giving directions. I hung up.

I had the same call just now. Indian accent. I asked for the name of his business but he said that they didn't have a name and that he was calling because my computer "is going to crash in just a few minutes." Its a scam. Please report this to the BBB so that they can be caught and shut down.
My mom got a call from this number today from a man with a heavy accent telling her there was a problem With her computer and she needed to log in and go to a specific site. Luckily (to a certain extent) I've drilled into her about scams such as this and to NOT do anything a voice onthe phone tells her to do. Especially if THEY call her. She told them I handle all her computer stuff and to call me. She gave the guy my number (gee thanks mom!:)). Of course he never called me.
I imagine the website he wanted her to go to was designed to put a virus or something on her computer.
Just got the same call and same guy heavy accent and noisey room,. insisted i go to his web site. I told him i had another call and looked up the number and he tried calling back several times. I did not answer.
Got a call from this number today. Also thick indian accent, wanting to speak to my husband. When I ask him what about, he said something about microsoft. I told him to tell me because I was the one who used the computer and he hung up. You cannot call the number back. Also had a withheld number on my cell phone today and I did not answer. Wondering if it was the same thing. Never get them on it. Wondering if someone has hacked into something where our phone numbers would be listed!
