I got a call from Anonymous saying he is from Microsoft Tech department saying my compute is infected and at risk. He said, he is constantly receiving error messages from my computer. He wanted me to log in right away and he would guide me out of it. He said the hard drive was going to crash. By the way, I told him it would take me 30 min to get to the computer. I asked him to give his phone number and contact and so he gave this number. He also gave some CLS ID of my computer apparently. I am yet to verify it though. He seemed heavily accented and told would call me back in 1/2 hr. It did not seem genuine to me. I have never had micorsoft calling me in a decade while I have had several computer crashes.
I got the same call twice this week I gave all my info. To this physco but credit card didn't go throug so they kept caling asking me to call my bank an tell them about the charges but don't tell them its from Microsoft cause they would cjarge me more cause Microsoft is a big company where u can't get the product that cheap so just tell them to take out the international block on my card..
I have called my bank an notify them . Sonce they habe my pc info is there anything I can do to prevent them from gettin to my pc again? ?????
This guy called me AT MIDNIGHT. Extremely heavy accent. Called from a blocked number and said that I had malware on my computer and that he was very concerned. I asked him angrily why he was calling at midnight. He TOLD me I had been sleeping, and asked if I was in front of a computer at the moment, which I was. I told him it was late and that I would call him in the morning to that he would give me a name and number. Made him feel comfortable because now I wanted information from him. Gave me this number. As soon as I hung up I called the non emergency number for my local police department, who said that since I was smart and didn't give in I prevented a crime and there was nothing they could do but have an officer fill out an information report.
Maybe I'll call him back and boot up one of my old computers, wipe all sensitive data off of it, play his game, and catch him in the act of a crime so he finally gets whats coming.
I received a call from this person on Friday afternoon at about 1:00 PM AUGUST 3, 2012 saying his name was Peter representing Microsoft. He preceded to tell me I had thousands of error messages reported to Microsoft. he then told me my warranty expired and wanted to encourage me to take a 2 year warranty at $149.00 or 3 year for $279.00 or lifetime warranty out. When I told him I did not have any credit cards he asked me if I had a PAYPAL account. He was very curious about my computer and kept insisting for me to enter credit card information he even asked if I had a Debit card. I did not give any financial information. He did give me this telephone number when I asked for a phone number was also persistant in wanting to transfer me to their Warranty Department..
*********************** PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS PERSON SCAMMING YOU**************************
Today at approximately 5:00 pm. I received a 2nd phone call from a foreign man saying he was calling from
Microsoft about my computer. I told him I didn't have a computer and hung up.
Sounded just like the man that called me on Friday August 3, 2012 with the SCAM.
