This guy Nick has called me 3 times now and each time he says he is from Microsoft but not from Microsoft. He wants me to go to www.teamviewer.com and then he will fix my computer. Apparently my computer is reporting errors to Microsoft. Yah right. This is a scam as at the end of the conversation he talks about " so you don't want my product" yet he keeps insisting that he is not selling anything. If not selling anything why does he have a product he wants me to see?
This guy Nick has called me twice now, first time I asked to speak with someone who could speak clear english, he passed me to his supposed supervisor Leo Watson, who could not speak any better english. He like the others before me said my computer is sending out some error and he can fix it if I will just sign in on my computer and he will tell me what to do. I would not do that and said I would have my computer expert call him when he comes in the next time. I called my ISP provider and asked them about this and they said it is a scam, if my computer was putting out a constant error they would see it and contact me themselves.
This guy called and stated my computer is infected and is sending out signals that infect other computers. He said he is from windows in NY and can fix my computer. I asked Him how my computer is infecting other computers if it is turned off and not connected to the Internet? He did not answer the question, but he asked me to turn on my computer. I laughed and asked for his telephone number. Now I can block his number. He doesn't know that I worked on computer security and ID theft for over 30 years.
I received a call the same as the other posted comments. The caller identified himself as Roj Shaw, heavy accent, Middle East. Stated my computer is sending out errors, and for this reason Microsoft windows was calling me. They said someone could hack into my computer through my IP address and stel all my personal information which i would be liable. How scary is that? I refused to turn my computer on of course. What really scared me was that they had my name, address and yes, my phone number. My name is not associated to my phone number, so how did they get this information? He said was transferring me to hi supervisor, I did get the woman's name. I listened for the transfer signal there was a pause on the line the the woman got on the line. I never heard a transfer signal so that made me more suspious. For some reason he got back on the line. I asked for his phone number so I could call him back and at that point he gave his Job ID number LZ107, then his phone number 1 315 750-4424. I will surely block the number.
