The same call as above complaints, except my call came as `Out of Area'; claimed she was calling from Windows Tech Maint. Same heavy accent and boiler room type background noises. I asked for a call back number and this is the call back # given. I didn't call back but reported the scam to Microsoft.
TOTAL SCAM, Guy calls saying he is from WINDOWS.. and you have computer problems and to go to a site then they take control of your computer
hang up on them./
When you call them on it, naturally they deny it and say they will refund your money. (Yes, my husband fell for this at the tune of $349). In order to refund your money, they want either your credit card number, or access to your computer. They say they can't refund without it. The warnings out there are that they get into your computer and get your history and all info. I've had several calls from these same people, who happen to be in India, and insist on refunding our $$. When I mentioned a complaint with the Attorney General, I got a very quick hangup.
An obvious telemarketer is at this phone number. Although, their accents are middle eastern or Indian, I believe they are calling from New York. Ask what they're selling...betsy, they'll tell you your computer has a terrible virus and you've been receiving the warnings.
See Sue's complaint also. I sure hope she has changed her credit card number....
Have always said that it is the innocent who pay for the sins of the guilty...we're watching that maxim play out again in the world of the internet.
got a call from 315-636-4810 claiming they were microsoft technicians . tried to get me to open my computer for them. I told them I needed to verify who they were . they gave me this number . i googled and found out from these blogs it is a scam.
