I have been receiving a call from: 000-000-0000 and when I answer the telephone they said they calling for microsoft because it shows that we are having problems with our computer, so we then ask for they direct telephone# in which they reply that they calling from Delaware 347-286-1992, but in reallity this is a NY, Queens, Staten Island number. I would like if possible for you guys to follow up because when I called Microsoft they said that Microsoft will never call the house if we are having computer problems.
***They said they where calling from Nerdi and said and they will tell you that you have a problem on your windows system and they'll ask you to allow them to go into your system and if you accept they will tell you what to do so they can login into your computer, once they are in they can steal your information*** When I ask for there website after I called them back they said website is nerdi.com
I received a similar call as Mr Maturana. I think it was a hacker. The guy calling said his name was Matthew and that his company is called Online PC Expert. He insisted he was NOT a hacker, which makes me think he was. He wanted me to log into my computer. I said I was not at my computer. He then wanted to know a good time to call back and I said I'll get back to you and asked for the number. He gave me the number 347-286-1992. He was very pushy and persistent. I am certain this is a scam artist.
I received a phone call from this number--Ricky was his name-wanted me to log into my computer. I told him I didn't have time at the moment--He insisted it log in and he would help with me a virus on my computer that is causing it to run slow. But he didn't know is that I have a Mac Computer and it is 2 months old. HA! Mac's don't get virus. I hung up on him!!
The same type of call came my way this evening. Apparently they knew that my computer had malicious files.They got my phone number from when i registered my Mac with Apple!! Sure you did Buddy!! heres the #1 347 441 4081. I too have Macs and I hung up on him after trying to find out what info he wanted me to type in, I also asked him who pays him for this service if I don't have to pay. Thought that I may trip him up:) He was very smooth, this guy was very persistent. Said the company was in Washington DC and company was PC software Services. I feel sorry for the poor souls that they do get to log on. Ticks me off!!!
