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!!
I received a phone call from this phone number who identified themselves as from Brooklyn NY and from a company called Windows Cares, stating that my computer had been hacked. I was unable to understand them due to heavy accent and requested to speak with a supervisor who's primary language is English and was not transferred after requesting several times advising that I have a hearing problem and not able to understand accents, they hung up on me. When I called back I asked again to speak with someone who's primary language is English due to my not being able to understand and again they hung up on me. I tried to call back and they disconnected immediately. Beware public. Too boot, I am on the National Do Not Call list. Wish someone would actually fine these people.
I got a similar call from 347-227-6900 yesterday. I have never heard of that company before. The caller said my operating system has been sending them reports that it has a virus. He asked me to go to my computer and he was going to give me instructions on how to remove the virus.
I got the same call today. They ask me to turn on my computer and help me to solve the problem. However, I don't feel comfortable to follow their instruction to do whatever they said. I worried they would hack into my computer. I asked them and gave me their phone number to call back. Therefore, I checked this information from search. Please aware this may be a cheat.
