Received a call from Chris Coleman of Criminal Justice Legal Office in regard to a complaint filed in reference to 3 allegations and that an arrest warrant would be issued On May 9 unless I called him back. Upon returning the call I received an outgoing message that simply stated the party I was trying to reach was unavailable. I immediately got online to reverse phone lookup the number and came up with several scam alerts.
Peter called, and his supervisor Austin spent most of the time with me on the phone. He talked to make me believe he was sent by Windows to inform me that my computer was in big danger of crashing because of errors he showed me, that were caused by malwares in my computer (false claims), which were supposedly caused by some hackers in eastern Canada. He asked to remotely enter my computer - I gave permission after he gave me my license number – thus proving he was from Windows - showed me that my firewall had got corrupted (false claim) and tried to convince me to buy a protection listed on http://www.windowssecure.net/subscription.html. I refused and he offered to lower the price by 50% if I called back in the next 30 minutes. Both guys had strong English accents, similar to people from India.
I've gotten a couple of calls from 999-910-0224 w/ basically the same pile of garbage! I knew that the "license key" was the same on all windows computers (actually only 1 of many CLSIDs, this one is for .zfsendtotarget), & that the event viewer is very useful, but is still just a log! I even asked them that if my computer(s) were all licensed to me (which they are not!) then what is my name? He was confuzzled! I searched for their website before I went to it & found out that it was not owned by Microsoft. It mentioned templatemo.com & according to whois (domaintools.com) it's based out of Queensland Australia & associated w/ privacyprotect.org. etc. etc.
Tell them to never call again or you'll report them to the kangaroos! Or something like that!
Guy (sounded like he was from India) pretending to be affiliated with Windows, and insisting that my computer had sent reports indicating that it needed repair. I asked if his company was legally incorporated with Windows OS. He kept trying to change the table where he was asking the questions and trying to tell me what to do about the supposed issue. This phone call had SCAM written all over it.
This person is calling saying they are from Microsoft and there is trouble with my computer. My caller id says "unknown caller". If they were calling from Microsoft I think the number wouldn't be withheld.
