they have called 3 times in the last 3 days basicly stating what has been stated in other posts. I asked for a number & they gave me 347 321 8983 & then hung up. all callers have had foreign acents that can barely be understood
Same thing just happened. Same phone number given when I asked where he was calling from. The funny thing is my computer had just crashed that morning the first time ever, so I listened. He had me pull up the "user" box and wanted me to enter a code after my name...guessing that would give him access! Before entering anything, I asked him to hold on a minute and researched the phone number and here I am. Told him I just saw all the warnings of this number and someone asking to do that from "Windows". I hung up! I then called the number back and it was an answering machine! Scary!
We got the same call more than once, both on my and my husband's cell phones, with the same deal. Extended warranties, tons of error messages beiong reported directly to them. The names they gave were Mark Anderson and Steve Lawrence.
I got a call from block number ('unknown') - they told me they have been receiving a message that my computer is infected with virus that has corrupted all the software installed in my computer. They guide me to window even viewer and showed some error messages (which I know is always there in all computers). Then they asked me to allow them to connect to my computer from remote. I was suspicious so I asked for the company name and phone number - and they said the company name is win IT solution and number is 347-321-8983. I told them I will call them back and hang up. When I google the phone number, I saw these postings. Thank you all who shared/post their experience and safe many people like me form being scammed.
