Who called from 7186184888

Just got a call from this company from a lady with a thick accent claiming my computer has been tracked by my IP address and has thousands of errors and that she can "take over" and get rid of them for me. She keeps calling. Don't fall for this.

Received a call on my cell phone which came up as "unavailable". A man with an Indian accent explained to me that my computer had not been receiving Windows updates recently and they had been trying to send me these updates with no success. He went on to ask me if I was near my computer and to press certain keys on the keyboard which would bring up a window. I didn't go along with this, I asked him how he got my number and he said they have access to all numbers. He said he had been trying my home phone and couldn't reach me. Yeah, sure. He said if I didn't believe him I could take down his name and number: Michael Benjamin at 718-618-4888 with an extension ID of 104. Of course I knew this was a bunch of bull from the start. Even more so when a heavily accented Indian man says his name is Michael Benjamin. I went on to tell him I had somewhere I needed to be and I didn't have time right now. Don't fall for this crap. I'm glad to see I'm not alone receiving calls from this number.

We also received a call for 718-618-4888 saying he was from Microsoft saying there was something wrong with our computer software.  As many others have identified, it sounded like someone with an East Indian accent and identified himself as 'Joseph'.  Sounds like he wants to install software. . .my guess to put spyware in place to gather bank/credit card and other information.

I just got a called about this 5 mins. ago. I knew it was fishy. I am glad I google up the number because she has and accent and said her name was Jessica. I do not know how she knew there was a problem with my computer when I don't and I have a laptop and then she changed it to its the laptop that the software is not working. Glad to know it a scam.
