Called us on the 20th at 5:57AM! Told my IT husband that our windows computer has malware on it. We own Mac's. This is the fourth time someone with an Asian Indian accent has called with the same scam. We have strung them along, told them to put us on their "Do not call" list, told them our phone was being tapped by the NSA & just plain hung up on them! Caller ID shows FirstStep Tech. Wish something could be done to shut them down.
Firststep Tech: aka Microsoft report of my computer showing malware, virus, etc. Indian voice. Noting that his number has been used since before Christmas, I will inform the FTC of this number being used to scam individuals.
I have received numerous calls from 530-287-8505 - Firststep Tech about errors on my computer. they wanted me to log into my computer so they could identify the issues/error messages. funny thing is: I don't own a home computer. This is obviously a scam.
I got a call a half hour ago from that number an indian guy burly speaks English telling me that i have a malicious virus in my windows and he want to help me to remove it, i insisted to know the company name and how they knew that and he keeps saying open your computer ill help you to remove it, so i told him that im not gonna do that do you need anything else !!? And he hunged up the phone call..
same as the responses already listed...the asian "tech" cold barely speak English and they have called repeatedly...to fix my computer...easy to tell a scam like this...I ask questions and they hang up..
