I am being told that they are calling from Micrsoftand they must remote into my machine and remove a program that can potentially impact their entire opertating system.
Say they are calling from ABS service. (Too pedestrian to be a legitimate company" Say my computer is calling them because we are having problems downloading software. I doubt the legitimacy of this call. When they call me the number is 11 digits long and I cannot call it back. They gave me 315-944-2594 for me to call back. Sounds like they are calling from a phone bank in India.
Never trust a call like this! A legitimate tech support professional will only remote into your system after you contact them yourself with a problem - if they are your contracted tech support. Never have I had a legitimate tech support person call and ask to do so. No reputable company would do this - let alone claim they are with a company they are not with.
I too got a call from this number. My first caller said "Hello, this is Jason from ABC tech support with Microsoft. We received an error message from your computer." He asked something about my antivirus and wanted me to log into my Internet explorer. I thought this was strange and told him I didn't have time for the call. He said he could call back. He called back about ten minutes later and asked if I could log onto my computer. At that time, I had another call and told him I could call him back. He said he could call me back at a better time, but I insisted I would call him right back. I took the number to search online, with no real results. It gave a location (Liverpool, NY) but no personal/business name. I searched Microsoft tech support online and called one locally. The technician said he had been in the business for 10 years and had never heard of anything like that. He said it is a scam and never trust anyone making these types of calls. It's someone trying to access your information in your computer.
Hi I think we are mistaken here. ABC Tech-Support is a genuine company and dealing in US and UK. They have software professionals who are certified. They fixed my computer issue and over and above my friends as well contacted them and got their system fixed in a very nominal fee.
