it called me today and said that i had problems on my pc. funny thing is that my pc is totally fine and i have never registe rmy number for anything. dont trust this number at all.
received the same call, told him I had Norton 360, he said that software could not find the viruses, I felt it was weird so told him I was not interested and hung up
I got a call form this number last night after work for the first time, but no one said anything, so I hung up. I got another call from the number this morning, but was with a customer at work, so I didn't answer. I called the number back about 5 minutes later and a foreign man answered. I couldn't understand what he said his name was, but I did hear him say he was from "PC Solutions", just as the above commenters have said. He asked me for my name so that he could look up the reason as to why they called me, so I gave him my name. He immediately began to discuss with me that Microsoft had detected a virus on my laptop. I told him that I have Norton 360 on my laptop and I that perform weekly scans and had never seen a threat detected. What I forgot to mention is that my mother received this same call from this same man about 3 days ago, saying that her home computer had this exact virus. Coincidence? I think not! I called him back after hanging up with him and yelled "STOP SCAMMING PEOPLE" then proceeded to hang up, again. The audacity of some people!!
Got the call from "Michael" in "California" called and said my windows operating sysstem was downloading viruses all the past week. My laptop has been off and disconnected and I've been using a Chromebook while sitting with my wife in Hospital. I told him he was a scammer from a call center in Mumbai in Hindi, he got scared and hung up.
The name that comes up on my caller ID is "Backbone Communications" a provider of telecom to off-shore call centers. Bunch of scammers attempting to gain access to your computer to steal financial info. Same number came up two weeks ago and another India native tried to get my credit card information to "refund" $399.00 of my "computer purchase price" from my last computer purchase due to an error in their charging me. Heh. I told him that if he was as purported he already has the ability to reverse the charge without my revealing my credit card info. Just refubd it to the card used to purchase the laptop from Wal-Mart. Idiots!
