THEY CALL ME SAYING THEY ARE FROM MICROSOFT AND THEY WERE TRYING TO SELL ME PROTECTION PACKAGES FOR MY COMPUTER HIS NAME IS PETER AND SEEMS TO ME HE HAS A CHINESE ACCENT. THEY CALLED FROM A BLOCKED NUMBER 92083, THAT IS ALL YOU CAN SEE FROM THE CALL DISPLAY
say they are callindg on behalf of microsoft. i told him he was a criminal and microsoft would not call me. he offered to go on conference call with police. i took his phon number 13015342017 and he also gave me an address of 387 front st west toronto i would like to give microsoft a piece of my mind if they are actually giving out my number this would be against foip. likely a coldcall scam from phonebook. he said he didnt know my first name
looked up number location area code 301 is in maryland, us. not toronto canada. They are lying. If you give these scam artists any information. you made a foolish mistake.
I received a call from a man who knew my name, saying he got my name from my internet provider. He suggested that microsoft is interested in my computer because its reading errors and warnings, which could infect and crash the computer. I replied that its amazing that he could detect such a thing. He answered that they can, and they are phoning microsoft customers running windows because these computer are prone to viruses not detected by other antivirus software (or something like that). I can't really say I heard he worked for microsoft or said with. But he made it sound like microsoft was looking out for me.
So, I let him direct me to urpccare.com, which logged me into their tech services. Here a technian was able to work on my computer after I enter a code that they provided. After the tech scaned my performance, it was suggested that I could buy a warrenty that would include spyware, antivirus, firewalls, as well as this cleaning of warnings and errors for a fee. He said that this was not a sales call because this was not a product.
Well, I could not hold my peace any longer. So, I informed this man that he is offering a product and that no way was I going to pay up to 200 dollars for this service. Especially, since it is very bizzare way to do business. Since, I now felt like I was in a vulnerable position, that my computer would crash at any moment if I didn't do this. Hence, I told him he was asking too much of me and that in no way would I allow this type of business transaction become acceptable. Not even if this type of transaction becomes the norm in the future and we humans are now transhumans opperating with biochemical computers running through our bloodstreams would I let microsoft or him/stranger into my HOME. Or would I?
Because, just maybe if this does become the norm, then I would have to because I am held hostage to the threat of a contaigent and my whole world could be turned off. But then again big brother wouldn't turn us off, since we would be proper slaves. So, our only human choice would to be the ghost in the machine and turn ourselves off just to have a real human identity. Therefore, urpccare.com is a joke/scam/incrediably ignornant of all human dignity.
No, you are wrong.The URPCCARE is an independent company who provides the services to all the users of windows operating system..it is based in almost all parts of the world..In australia,USA,canada,UK,Ireland and many more...I have done a research on this,and i came to know that they are genuine and they only provides the service to the windows computer...yes its true that they are not related with microsoft nor to any of the brands of computer......
