Had the same problem Indian guy claiming my PC has virus and wanted to help me get rid of hacker ( Roger Drake ) who is accecessing my network from Canada. He called from payphone at 6:05 pm Tuesday April, 14, 2015. Me being stupid turned on my PC and there he was moving mouse pointer and took me to team review site to download program which I didn't do. I asked him name, he says Steve of Windows Tech Dept and phone number is 855-674-1190 and his extension is 1016. He asked for credit card info to get rid of viruses and I refused, so turned off my PC and turned on later to discover a gunmetal gray pop-up box appears waiting for password. I was upset a bit but not much because I don,'t keep anything on my PC aside from music. So there was nothing to take no stored credit cards, passwords. What I did was clean PC, then reinstalled Windows changed all passwords and installed Viper which is wonderful.
I have received a few calls from them but don't usually answer since it comes up as PAYPHONE on caller id, when I looked up the number it comes up as a PAYPHONE at a FRIENDLYS RESTURANT in Hormell NY next time they called I answered and they said they r from windows and my computer was downloading viruses, I asked them how this was possible since I have an apple computer so I don't have windows then I asked why they were calling from a Friendlys Payphone and they hung up..total scam don't bother to answer any if their calls!!
Hi I'm in London i nthe UK just got a call off this number 607-324-9846 telling me it's the Hornell, NY area. As I only know two people all the way in NY (both of who would email rather than call) I ignored (plus I'm not paying foreign call charges) hope no one else picks up!
