He is still at it, said his name was Ricky. Just received a call with exactly the same issue and exactly the same claim purporting to represent Microsoft Support Services. I dumped his call twice and he even called back a third time. I did advise him that since I would be shut down within 30 minutes and would never again be able to access the internet that he call me back in 60 minutes and we could continue the discussion - surprise, surprise no call back and no internet lifetime block.
I received a call from the following:
Samuel Johnson
Windows Operating Systems Main Server
Phone: 1-347-468-9607
He said we have viruses on our system & I should buy his program. I don’t trust this, have 3rd party IT monitoring our system but wanted to pass the info on to anyone else.
Do NOT do anything they ask, especially DO NOT allow them remote access to your computer. No third party that you have not set up with to assist you can receive error messages from your computer. If it is not your own IT support folks calling, it is a scam.
Same scam as above by Nicole. Now they are continuing to call us every couple of minutes harassing us....we have reported the number to the local authorities.
Got a call from "kevin peterson" with a very distinct indian accent. Very aggressive about how hackers get access to computer license numbers and use them to commit fraud. He said he was in London (UK) and was from GCC Corporate at 1-347-468-9607. I hung up but the lowlife called back. So I hung up again. That was it.
This is a scam. I am a computer tech and have had customers call me asking if these guys with the phone number of 1-347-468-9607 are really from Microsoft. They are not they try and trick people into thinking their system has problems by looking at a standard event log. And then say everything listed in the log is a problem that must be fixed.
I have had some customer tell me they will even try and trick them into letting this "company" into their computer. If they call just hang up.
