Just got a call from this # about my commuter has a virus, that's funny cause I don't own a computer, I use my phone for all my internet needs!!! Total Scammers NEVER give anyone your info over the phone like that, a ligit company doesn't do that so please don't give anyone access to your computer!!
On 4/10/14 I Received a Home phone Call from an Unknown Number. A Lady with a Very Heavy asian Accent told me she was calling to inform me that My Online Windows software had a Virus and my computer would be greatly affected. She knew the Name of someone who lives in this household but It seemed VERY SUSPICIOUS. I asked what their Company name was and She Said "PC Service and Repair" I asked her what the EXACT address was to their company and all she could say was Los Angeles and was trying to give me instructions but I couldn't understand. She then put another Lady with a Very heavy Indian Accent which told me their company was based PHEONIX ARIZONA and to go to "My Computer" then click on "Management". The [***] kept asking me questions like who Used the Computer and who It belonged to which seemed strange so I got frustrated with them and She put her "SUPERVISOR" MAXWELL LUCAS on the phone... ULTIMATLEY THIS IS A SCAM !!!! CAREFUL. I did call back and told them I was going to call the police though. Hope they burn in hell for disturbing my Evening.
Received a call from this number claiming to be Microsoft. Dell said there was nothing wrong with my computer.
Microsoft is a big company and does not call people telling them there is something wrong with their computer.
They try to get your IP number from your computer. They use your IP # to make purchases with stolen identity so it can't be traced back to them. They also hack your computer to steal credit card info, SS#'s and anything they can get their foreign hands on.
Tell them to go to hell and report the call to the FBI.
If you are one of the individuals making these call and deliberately committing this crime. SHAME ON YOU.
This scam is still going on. Got a call today from 347-227-6900. They said they were calling from windows and that my computer was sending them error messages and that it was hacked. They wanted to gain access to my computer and also charge me 50.00 to 150.00 dollars to fix it. I spoke to two different guys, both with indian accents. I gave them no information. Hung up with them and called Windows directly and found out about this scam. Don't fall for it!
